When Lu Wen, the clerk who introduced him to the store, heard the news, he ran into the hall and grabbed Cui Yonggui by the collar.

He said, "You are such a good Cui Erwa, you actually took advantage of my trust in you and asked me to introduce you to the store.

As a result, you stole, but Shopkeeper Ouyang did not punish you, and you were not grateful.

He actually sneaked into the store in the middle of the night.

Tell me! Did you tip off the prince's whereabouts?

"Where is the prince now? Tell me! What are you doing here? Tell me!" He shook him vigorously.

Cui Yonggui rolled his eyes at him, looking righteous and awe-inspiring, but still said nothing.

Lu Wen knows the whereabouts of the prince?

Xiao Yuehan asked him, "Did you tell him about the prince's whereabouts?"

Lu Wen said angrily: “This cunning villain.

During a casual chat, I told him that the situation on the border of Diancheng was critical and the prince was coming. I thought the prince's coming was a good thing, but who knew? "He was very upset.

"How do you know the whereabouts of the prince?"

He paused and whispered, "After the pigeon sent the letter that day, I saw the shopkeeper start to decorate the wing where the prince would stay every time he came. I guessed it."

Xiao Yuehan thought about it.

He called Lu Wen aside, asked him a few questions, and then whispered to Ye Dong.

After hearing this, Ye Dong went out.

Half an hour later, Ye Dong came back with an old woman.

Xiao Yuehan said to the old woman kindly, "Old lady, we won't embarrass you, nor your son.

But now he is helping the bad guys, and as long as he tells us who is behind him, we will let him go.

Now I need your help. We will not bring any harm to you or your son.

But if he doesn’t tell the truth, then it’s hard to say.”

The old woman cried and said, "He didn't do anything bad. He is working as a clerk for Shopkeeper Ouyang. Please let him go."

Ye Dong took her to the inner room, but Cui Yonggui still insisted when he saw that the person coming in was his mother.

Stunned, this subtle expression was captured by Xiao Yuehan, and he knew that this method would work.

He was furious and shouted at the crowd: "You are so despicable, what's the point of capturing my mother?

Come at me if you can, don’t attack an old man.”

Xiao Yuhan snorted coldly, "You unfilial son, you have an old mother at home, but you followed the bad guys to do such a thing.

If something happens to you, who will support your mother? "

He said with his eyes wide open:

“If you don’t tell me who is behind this, I will imprison your mother in an unknown place until she dies.

You may never see her again. Think carefully about whether you should continue to help the bad guys or go home to be filial.

"You are so mean!" he cried in despair.

His mother spoke up: "Yonggui, I only know that you are working to earn money to support your family.

But if this girl hadn't told me today, I wouldn't have known that you followed the wrong person and did the wrong things.

The Cui family has been hardworking and kind for generations. Do you want to be a rebellious son of the Cui family? Do you want to ruin the Cui family's reputation?

You should tell this girl today that you have done bad things and let them catch the bad guys, so that you can have the face to meet your father in the underworld in the future.

Otherwise, I will not have you as my son."

"Mom!" he cried sadly and rushed to his mother.

He still said: “Because I used to work as a clerk in the store, they asked me to come and find out about the princess.

When I came yesterday, the noise was quite loud and woke up the princess.

I was scolded when I got back, so I came again tonight."

Then he actually said, "I'm really useless. I've been discovered for two days in a row. They won't let me go."

Xiao Yuehan said patiently: "As long as you tell us who you are working for and where the prince is detained?

After we rescue the prince, he will put down the rebellion and catch the person behind you, and no one will make things difficult for you."

“It was not me who leaked the news of the prince’s coming this time.

Yonggui told me that the prince would probably come, but he wasn’t sure, so I didn’t dare to say.

I heard that someone in Chang'an wanted the prince to come back this time, and after detaining the prince, they also wanted to detain the princess."

"Chang'an City?" Xiao Yuehan was surprised.

"I came here today not only to investigate the princess' whereabouts, but I have already poisoned her when we were fighting."

"What?" Everyone exclaimed and looked at the princess in unison.

After hearing what he said, Xiao Yuehan calmed down and felt his own body.

Sure enough, she found out that she had been poisoned.

The good habit of carrying antidotes with her helped her again. After taking the antidote, she said:

"You are very skilled. It seems you are an old hand."

At this time, Ouyang's people and Ye Chun returned to the store. Looking at the people on the ground, Ye Chun said:

“This man is a spy from Yancheng, and has been entrenched in Diancheng for many years.

He had worked as a clerk in at least ten shops. It was difficult for him to get into a prince's shop, so this time, after being introduced by someone, he came to a pawnshop to work as a clerk.

Unfortunately, his wife and children fell ill and needed a lot of money for treatment, so he started stealing. After his crime was exposed, he was punished and no longer employed.

Later he came back to ask Lu Wen to return the pawnshop.

But Shopkeeper Ouyang no longer employed him.

This time, the news that the prince was kidnapped and the princess came to Dian City spread like wildfire.

The higher-ups knew that he had worked as a clerk in a pawn shop and was familiar with the store's layout. They wanted him to make meritorious deeds to atone for his sins. So, he took action against the princess. "

"How did you find out?"

"We found our spy Lian Shu whose identity had been exposed and was detained in Yancheng."

He said this while pointing at the practice book behind him.

He was covered in blood, and he looked like he had been tortured. He pointed at the person on the ground and asked, "Do you know me? You didn't expect that."

When Cui Yonggui saw him, he was dejected and collapsed to the ground.

When Cui Yonggui's mother heard the news, she burst into tears and cried to the sky.

Xiao Yuehan asked Ye Chun anxiously: "Where is the prince? Have you found the prince?"

Ye Chun said: "We haven't found it, but we have basically known the area where the prince is imprisoned."

……

I learned that Zi Sangyu was imprisoned in Yancheng.

Xiao Yuehan found Shen Keran and said, "Master Shen, you are more familiar with Yancheng. Yechun will lead us and we will go to rescue the prince."

When I saw Shen Keren again, he was in military uniform. He had lost the elegance of a businessman, but was more majestic like a soldier.

He received the order and was about to leave, but he saw that the princess was also in military uniform.

Said: "No, Princess, just wait for good news in the store. Don't worry, we will definitely bring the prince back."

Xiao Yuehan looked heroic, with lowered eyebrows and a slight upward turn of the corners of her mouth:

"I want to go. I want to see if these Yancheng thieves dare to detain my Chang'an City prince."

He leaped onto his warhorse, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and the horse galloped away. The other warhorses followed closely behind.

Run all the way.

The 50,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry brought by Zi Sangyu from Chang'an City arrived at Yancheng Fortress one after another.

The commander defending Yancheng blocked the way and reported to the general.
