Chapter 226 Found (Updated)

As for the thoughts of the Fourth Prince, everyone in the Black Armored Guard knew about it, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The ministers of the court and the black armor guards don't need to give face, but they still have to be scruples about the prince.

Without conclusive evidence and 100% guarantee that they can bring him down, they can't do it too hard. Who knows if Emperor Jingyong will think about the love between father and son, and it will be their black armored guards who will be difficult to do.

Mu Shi had already put all the medicinal materials into boxes, and when he saw Mu Si sitting on the threshold, he rolled his eyes and sat down too.

"Don't you have anything to pack?"

Mu Si ignored him, thinking about the news he heard today.

After thinking clearly that day, he took the initiative to admit his mistake and followed Mu Yi around, which made Mu Yi and Mu Er gradually relax their vigilance towards him. In the past few days, he has begun to allow him to act alone, but only in the city.

Mu Sizi was not satisfied, but before he could go any further, he got the news that he was going back to Beijing.

Mu Si couldn't help being anxious, he hadn't gone to Luoshan Village yet, he hadn't found the boss yet, and he hadn't made sure if the boss was safe.

But this is the order of the Holy One and cannot be disobeyed.

Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, and when he went to the study of the county government office to find Xiao Jin to get the memorial to the Holy Majesty, he accidentally heard the government servant saying that a new shop opened in the county today.

The yamen servants said that the shopkeeper had something to do with Gu Su's family, and they had to go to cheer him up, maybe they could see Gu Su's family and make a good fortune in front of him.

Mu Si's heart was moved, but his face remained calm, he took the memorial from Xiao Jin and gave it to Mu Yi.

After that, I found a yamen servant and asked him to go to various villages to guard the ox cart parking place in the county, and asked him to keep an eye on whether Gu Sushi came.

He had assisted Xiao Jin to go to Luoshan Village, but the yamen servant thought he had some business to do, so he quickly agreed and promised not to spread the word.

It's just that almost an hour has passed, why hasn't the yamen servant come back to deliver the news.

Seeing that Mu Si didn't respond, Mu Shi raised his hand and waved in front of him, "I'm asking you something, please reply."

"Meow~"

Mu Si didn't reply, but a civet cat suddenly jumped down from the courtyard wall.

Mu Simeng stood up abruptly, leaving a sentence "I'll go outside to buy some dry food" and left in a hurry.

Mu Shi was confused by Mu Si's reaction, but he didn't think too much, instead he took out an oiled paper bag from his pocket somewhere on his body, and when he opened it, there were crispy and delicious dried fish inside.

He squatted down, took out one, took a bite first, and then handed it over, "Meow, come and eat small dried fish together."

As they were about to leave, Mu Yi and Mu Er were busy finishing the work, but they didn't pay much attention to Mu Si, which also allowed Mu Si to go out through the back door of the county office smoothly.

"My lord, Mrs. Gu just came out of the newly opened Chen's Mala Tang shop, and then went to West Street. I've already been stared at, do you see?"

When the yamen servant saw Mu Si, he approached him attentively, bent slightly, and reported Su Mo's whereabouts to him.

"Take me there."

Mu Si didn't dawdle and let the yamen servant lead the way, and the two soon joined another yamen servant who was staring at Su Mo.

The yamen servants already have the job of patrolling the streets, so it is not surprising that there are yamen servants walking or staying on the streets.

The guard who was watching pointed to the shop not far away with the guise of "Lujiabu Fang", with a flattering expression on his face, "My lord, Mrs. Gu is inside, and it has been about two quarters of an hour since I went in."

Mu Si put on a stern face, and nodded slightly, "I remember that your yamen servants all have identity tokens, use them for me."

The two yamen servants looked at each other and said, "My lord, is this inappropriate?"

"What's wrong, do I need to go talk to Xiao Jin first?"

The color of the wood around does not change.

The two yamen servants panicked and joked. The adults in front of them all called the county magistrate by his name. If they didn't know what is good and what is wrong, and delayed the official duties of the adults, they might live too comfortably.

"Forgive me, my lord, I'll give you the little one."

One of the yamen servants quickly took out his token. It was an ordinary wooden token, but it was engraved with the word Yamen, which could be recognized by traders large and small in the coastal county.

Mu Si took it with satisfaction, put it in his bosom, took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom, and threw it to the yamen servant.

"You can go now, by the way, keep your mouth shut."

The yamen servant caught the silver with quick eyes and hands, weighed it slightly, and then nodded sharply, "Don't worry, my lord, we are here to patrol the streets today."

After all, the two left quickly.

Mu Si didn't go into Lu's cloth shop rashly, he just guessed that the boss is in Gu's house, but it's not sure whether Gu Su's is an enemy or a friend, and Gu Su's recognizes him, if he meets him rashly, he will only startle the snake.

He waited patiently in the hiding place, and when he found that Su Mo came out, he narrowed his eyes slightly, first determined the direction Su Mo left, and then went into the cloth workshop.

There are not many people at the cloth workshop, seeing a new customer coming in, Mrs. Lu hurriedly smiled and went over to entertain him, "This customer looks strange, and I'm afraid he's coming back to our shop for the first time. Our shop not only sells cloth but also makes custom clothes. What do you think you need?"

With a cold face, Mu Si took out the tokens he took from the hands of the two yamen servants, "The yamen handles business."

Lu Shi was slightly startled, and raised his eyes to look at the token, his legs felt a little weak.

She has been running a shop for many years, and she hasn't done anything wrong?
Mu Si didn't want to waste time, in case he couldn't keep up with Gu Sushi later, and couldn't get news from her.

So there was no delay in this meeting, and he asked directly: "The woman who just left often comes to your shop?"

Mrs. Lu was a little confused by the question, and after realizing it, she quickly replied: "She is not a regular customer, this is her second visit..."

As she spoke, her heart was pounding, and she thought to herself, could it be that the woman did something wrong?

Thinking like this, she was afraid of being implicated by Su Mo, and without waiting for Mu Si to ask again, she hurriedly explained exactly what Su Mo bought in the shop.

"When I came back for the first time, I bought two kinds of cloth, clear blue and black, which are suitable for men, maybe I bought them for her husband.

This time I came here to order clothes for the whole family. A little girl's spring clothes are urgent, let our shop deliver them tomorrow morning, and the rest are summer clothes. There is no rush, the time is set for one month.

I have all of them registered, but I want to show them to your lord for a look? "

Mu Si is naturally aware of the situation of the Gu family, this Gu Su family is a widow, how could she be buying cloth for some husband.

He had already guessed a little in his heart, when he met Lu Shi on the road, Mu Si nodded, "Hurry up and get it."

Lu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly walked to the counter, and took out a booklet. The daughter-in-law inside heard the movement, opened the curtain and poked her head out, a little puzzled.

Just as he opened his mouth, Lu hurriedly waved his hands, "Have the clothes that the customer urgently requested are ready? Hurry up and catch up with work!"

Lu's daughter-in-law was slightly stunned. Seeing her mother-in-law's serious expression, she dared not refuse to listen, so she lowered the curtain and shrank her head back.

Lu's heart fell to the ground, he opened the booklet, turned to the page of the latest registration, and held it in front of Mu Si.

"Lord, please see."

Mu Si took the hand and glanced at it, and he knew it in his heart.

Sure enough, the boss is at the Gu family.

Mu Si only felt that his whole body had come alive.

He handed the brochure back, and then took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it on the counter, "Be sure to make the clothes Madam Gu ordered more delicate."

After all, he ignored Lu Shi's reaction, strode away, and quickly chased in the direction Su Mo left.

 Ah, I want Suofen, the fish meal in my hometown is super delicious, and I also order the hot and sour radish, just thinking about it makes my mouth water, but unfortunately I can't eat it.
