Mou Biao laughed and said,

"Ahead, I caught a thief. This person's history is a bit strange. I suspect that he escaped from the palace. I want to ask my father-in-law to find out his history!"

"Oh?"

When Chang Youyin heard this, her two white eyebrows that reached to her ears trembled.
"Who... escaped from the palace?"

Mu Biao nodded,

"This person's surname is Hong, and he is the leader of the Beijing Kui Gang..."

Mou Biao roughly explained the previous matter, the old eunuch laughed strangely,

"It's really daring to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and he deserves to be unlucky!"

Mou Biao laughed and said,

"I originally planned to put him in a prison, and when the time comes, just give him a knife, but I didn't expect to find out that this kid is an eunuch..."

He also told what Hong Kui's wife and concubine had said, the old lady's eyes twitched from listening, and Mou Biao said again,

"Since the matter involves the palace, I dare not be careless, so I specially invited my father-in-law to find out who this person is from?"

Silver often nods,
"it is good!"

He asked Hong Kui's age again. He heard that he was in his mid-thirties. After thinking about it, he said,
"Thirty to eight, it must be found 30 years ago..."

After a pause,

"There are so many things, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find them for a while, so please allow the old eunuch a few days to search them yourself!"

There are rules for these things in the palace. The records 30 years ago have already been sealed. To re-open the seal, you must have the approval of the chief eunuch, and then the eunuch in charge like Chang Youyin will do it yourself, so it is really not a one-time thing. It can be taken out immediately!

Mou Biao naturally knew the rules in the palace, so he immediately clapped his hands,
"That's it, Mr. Lao!"

Silver often waved his hand,
"It's okay, the old eunuch is worrying about nothing all day long, so he's too nervous to chat!"

So after two days, someone from the palace sent a letter to Beizhen Fusi, saying that there was no such person!
Mou Biao was stunned when he heard that, and went to the palace again in person. Chang Youyin took him to the palace records hall, pointed to a pile of books stacked high on the table and said,
"Our family has searched for two days and there is no record of this man named Hong Kui..."

Seeing that Mou Biao still refused to give up, he smiled and said,

"Today, the adults are here, why don't you check with our family again?"

Mou Biao nodded. He stayed in the palace until it was almost dark that day before leaving the palace. He still found nothing. When he returned home, his expression was a little gloomy. Seeing this, Si Lian asked,
"Is Xiao Lin in trouble?"

Mou Biao told what he saw in the palace today, Si Lian raised her eyebrows when she heard that,
"Even the palace couldn't find out. This is to completely obliterate his origin, so... doesn't it mean that there is more and more strangeness in it?"

Mu Biao nodded,

"That's why, and it's because of this... that I feel more and more that something is wrong!"

The husband and wife guessed for a long time, but they still couldn't figure out the origin of Hong Kui, but they were both sure.
"This matter must have something to do with the palace, and it is likely that some important person took action..."

Mou Biao hesitated a little.
"Then... I'm afraid it will be difficult to investigate this matter!"

Silian also advised him,

"Even if all the food is recovered and our porridge shed is set up, life in the capital and everywhere will be difficult this year, and you have a lot of errands, so why don't you let this matter go for now!"

Mou Biao thought for a while and nodded,
"Shut up people first!"

Wait until you have free hands to deal with him!
Only one person didn't want him to spare his hands to investigate the matter again. On the second day, someone rode an inconspicuous black carriage to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, but he didn't get out of the carriage. fist up,

"The two brothers have invited you. Please go in and report to Commander Mou. Just say that my master's surname is Chang, and I want to see you!"

After finishing speaking, he lifted his outer robe, revealing a token at his waist. The two gatekeepers looked at each other, and one of them turned and went in.

"Wait!"

Not long after, Mou Biao came out, and when the window of the carriage was lifted to reveal an old face, Mou Biao was stunned and said,

"Why did the father-in-law drive here?"

Chang Youyin smiled and said,
"The person you mentioned earlier couldn't find out the history, but it aroused the curiosity of our family, so I came out to have a look!"

As he got out of the car with the support of the groom, Mou Biao invited him in to talk, the two sat down in the hall, and Chang Yin looked around and said with a smile,

"The old eunuch has not been out of the palace for many years, but now that he comes out again, it feels like a world away. I think the old eunuch also came to Beizhen Fusi to announce the decree back then!"

"Elder-in-law is an old man in the palace. Naturally, he has been through many storms. We, the juniors, should ask Eunuch for advice more!"

"Old! Old!"

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and when it came to the topic,

"Our family couldn't find that person's name in the palace, but I just remembered something..."

"Oh... father-in-law, please tell me!"

Chang Youyin thought for a while and said slowly,

"Thirty years ago, there were three knife-handlers who cleaned the boys who entered the palace. One of them had a very good relationship with the old eunuch. He once told the old eunuch in private that they did it with money. The eggs were then stitched up with needles, but the techniques of the three were different, and the scars left after stitching were different..."

Having said that, he sighed,
"The old eunuch is really confused. He didn't think about it for a few days. Yesterday, he had a dream in the middle of the night. He dreamed of his old friend who had been dead for many years, but he remembered it...

Mou Biao was a little puzzled,

"Then according to the meaning of the father-in-law?"

The old eunuch sighed,

"At that time, he also specially told our family about the differences of the three people's techniques. After so many years, our family has long forgotten it. Last night, a dream seemed to return to the past. The past is as vivid as it is in front of us... "

Speaking of this, he sighed,

"Show that man to our family, and our family may not be able to find out who did his scars... Then try to find out based on this clue..."

"Oh……"

Suddenly, Mou Biao said with great joy,

"So... I have to thank my father-in-law!"

Immediately, he got up and personally led Chang Youyin to the imperial prison. In the cell, Chang Youyin saw Hong Kui who had already been severely tortured several times. The light blinded his eyes, and he slowly turned his head to look outside the prison door. When he saw Chang Youyin, his pupils shrank suddenly, and after a moment of indifference, he turned his head away.

Mou Biao followed behind the old eunuch, his sharp eyes had already seen clearly. Although he couldn't see Chang Youyin's expression clearly, he could see it from the slightly shrugged shoulders of the old eunuch. mood swings,

So...they knew each other?
Mou Biao remained calm and asked,
"Eunuch, it's dark here, you can't see clearly, why don't you get this kid outside?"

Silver often nods,
"it is good!"

Mou Biao immediately ordered,
"Come on! Get this kid out!"

Someone came to open the prison door, lifted Hong Kui who was paralyzed like mud, and brought him into a stone room. Torches were placed on all sides of the stone room, illuminating the place as bright as day. In the middle, Mou Biao invited the old eunuch over, and the old eunuch lifted the blood-scabby clothes, Hong Kui let out a muffled snort, and the old eunuch turned around and ordered,

"Get some scissors!"

Someone came and cut Hong Kui's trousers. The old eunuch lay there squinting his old eyes for a while, then shook his head at Mou Biao.

"no!"

Mou Biao questioned,
"Did you pay attention?"

The old eunuch smiled,
"Although the old eunuch is old, he can still use his eyes. You are right!"

Mu Biao nodded,

"So thankful for you!"

This compartment invited the old eunuch to go out, there are often silver channels,

"Our family has been out for some time, we can't stay outside for a long time, let's just say goodbye!"

Mou Biao sent him to the gate, bowed his hands in salute,

"Thank you for your father-in-law's help. Mou has written down your love, and there will be rewards in the future!"

The old eunuch smiled,
"My lord, you are too polite. I am really ashamed that I didn't help you!"

"Where! Where!"

Mou Biao watched the old eunuch's carriage leave, turned around the Yamen and entered the imperial prison again, Hong Kui had been sent back to the prison, looking at the motionless figure lying on the haystack, Mou Biao felt inexplicably uneasy, always I feel like something is missing!

But he didn't know that often Yinhuan Palace went straight to Shoukang Palace, and the female officer at the gate saw him coming, and slightly bent her knees,

"The father-in-law is here, the queen mother has been waiting for a long time!"

Chang Youyin went in with the female officer, saw the Queen Mother who was sitting upright, was about to salute, when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw the bright yellow figure sitting beside him, he was startled, and hurriedly knelt down,

"Long live! Empress Dowager!"

Empress Dowager Zhang, who was sitting high above her head, raised her hand,

"Chang Youyin... You are an old man in front of Aijia, so you don't need to be polite, just sit down!"

Chang Youyin got up, stepped back and sat on the stool brought by the maid, Empress Zhang raised her hand and drove away all the people in the hall, leaving only three people talking,
"How are things going?"

Empress Dowager Zhang spoke first, Zhu Houzhao stood aside with a sullen face and said nothing, and Yin often responded,

"My servant went over to see, it was indeed that person... within three days, he would die suddenly, even Jin Yiwei would not be able to find any traces!"

"Ok!"

Queen Mother Zhang nodded,
"Well done! Only you can do this, except you... Aijia really can't find anyone else!"

Chang Youyin hurriedly got up and answered,

"Being able to serve the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty is the blessing of the slaves and servants!"

"Ok!"

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded and looked at the cold-faced Zhu Houzhao,
"Look, what the Ai family said earlier...Your Majesty must be subject to chaos. Didn't this cause trouble? Fortunately, it was Mou Biao who asked about Chang Youyin this time, and Chang Youyin brought this matter up. I reported it to Ai's family, if there is another time..."

Zhu Hou replied,
"Mother, there will be no next time..."

He turned to look at Chang Youyin,

"Chang Youyin... I will give you some capable people, find them all, and silence them one by one. The empress mother is right, only the dead can't speak, so that future troubles can be avoided!"

"Yes!"

……

At that night, when Mou Biao returned home, he couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. After Si Lian coaxed the two children to sleep, he went to the study to see Mou Biao like this, and asked. After talking about the matter, he frowned and said,
"I always feel that there is something I have overlooked, but I can't remember it for a while!"
