    Chapter 712 Too Horrible to Believe Mu San found out that his luck was really bad, not good at all.  He thought that after contacting University Scholar Niu Huilun, the rest of the matter would be much smoother, but he soon discovered that his thinking was too naive.  Although he had been away from Taiji Palace in Chang'an City for some time, he felt that he was very familiar with that palace, and it was not difficult to contact the young eunuchs who were familiar with him there.  However, there is no one he is familiar with in Tai Chi Palace.  All the palace officials have been transferred to Changchun Garden, and the outside of Changchun Garden is now guarded by armored troops. Not to mention outsiders, even courtiers are not allowed to approach.  The official explanation is that the little emperor suddenly fell ill and needed to rest and not be disturbed by anyone.  So General Tiejia ordered that all the palace attendants in Taiji Palace be transferred to Changchun Garden to serve the little emperor. Of course, what no one knew was that these palace attendants really went to serve the little emperor.  After Mu San came out of the Grand Master's Mansion, he muttered a few words of frustration, walked with his head lowered, thinking about how to get in touch with the people in Changchun Garden. He was hit by a strong burst of strong fragrance less than a mile after walking out.  Attracted by the aroma, I looked up and saw a stall selling soup dumplings on the roadside. The sellers were a couple. The man seemed very honest and the woman was simple.  "Sir, do you want some soup dumplings?" The man asked politely. Mu San then realized that it would be rude to stand at someone else's stall if he didn't buy some. He was hungry anyway, so he simply found a relatively clean table and sat down.  .  "A few steamed buns, and a bowl of mutton soup." "Okay!" The man responded and quickly took out a few small baskets from the big pot.  In each small basket is a soup dumpling. This kind of snack is relatively common in the south, but it is rare in Chang'an city.  But Mu San could tell that the soup dumplings were made to perfection, and the fresh flavor alone made people salivate.  ¡°Boss, good craftsmanship!¡± Mu San deliberately spoke in a rough voice. After being masculine-removed, his voice became shriller, so he had to hold his voice when speaking in order not to be exposed.  "Have you been doing business in Chang'an City?" Mu San asked.  "Yes, I've been here all the time." Perhaps because there were not many customers, the boss rarely had time to spare. He served a plate of assorted vegetables and cut a few slices of beef and placed them in front of Mu San: "This is a gift. The guest officer looks so kind." Mu San hurriedly  Thanks: "I've been to this street before, why haven't I seen you and your wife?" Mu San asked while eating.  "Oh" The boss smiled honestly: "We just moved to this street to do business recently. It used to be on Dong 23rd Street." "OhDong 23rd Street, I  We know" Mu San was burned and answered vaguely. After saying this, he suddenly froze, then raised his head and looked at the honest and smiling boss: "Dong Twenty-three?" "Yes.  " The boss said with some sadness: "I remember at that time, we just learned the art of making soup dumplings, and we set up a stall on East 23rd Street. I made the dumplings and my mother-in-law made the noodles. It was a Feng Shui treasure place.  The young man who was once famous in the capital loved our steamed buns and hot noodle soup the most. Also, the pretty girls from Hongxiuzhao also loved my steamed buns, and some of them came to buy them every day.¡± The landlady gave him a fierce look.  , the boss then smiled coquettishly.  "It seems like something happened in the capital recently, right?" Mu San didn't dare to be sure of his own judgment, so he pretended to ask casually.  "No" The boss sighed and said: "A lot of damn people have died. Oh, who would have thought that Chang'an City would be so chaotic" As he spoke, he looked like he was idle  Bored, Mu San dipped his fingers in tea and wrote and drew on the table. Mu San stared at his fingers without blinking.  ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ Binyue Inn This is the largest inn in Chang¡¯an City. Businessmen who come and go like to stay here. Firstly, it is clean and spacious, and secondly, the location is excellent.  This is the first time Mu San has stayed in this old store in all his years in Chang'an City.  It is said that the history of this store is much longer than that of Sui Dynasty. The ability of this family to keep the business going for such a long time is evident.  Mu San let out a long sigh of relief after entering his room, then threw himself on the bed and didn't bother to move anymore.  He didn't know how long it took before he got up and was about to ask the waiter to bring some food. When he sat up, he was startled. He didn't know when there was an extra person in the room, who was sitting not far away enjoying tea.  The waiter brought the tea after Mu San came back. Mu San was too tired and didn¡¯t drink it.  It seems that this person hasIt's been a while.  "I didn't expect that the tea in this inn is of good quality." The fat man drinking tea glanced at Mu San, smiled and said, "How is it, you have gained a lot today?" This fat man's name is Jiosecai, which is loose gold.  His first capable assistant.  Mu San was once curious about what such a fat man who seemed to be out of breath even after walking a few steps could do.  But now he probably knew, because the fat man came in and sat down not far from him, and even drank half a pot of tea without him noticing.  If this person wanted to kill him, Mu San was sure that he wouldn't even know how he died.  "Mr. Jiu, why didn't you wake me up?" Mu San said with a smile.  "You weren't asleep either Did you know when I came in? It has nothing to do with whether you were asleep or not." Jiusecai paused for a moment and then asked: "Why did you call me Mr. Jiu?" "What's that  ¡­Mr. Se or Mr. Cai?¡± ¡°My surname is Zhan,¡± Jiu Secai said seriously, ¡°Jiu Secai is my name, and Jiu is not my surname, neither Se nor Cai. My full name is Zhan Jiu Secai.¡±  Sanxin said, why don¡¯t you just call me Zhanquan?  "Mr. Zhan, today's harvest is not very big. Although I have contacted University Scholar Niu Huilun, I may not be able to contact the people in the palace. I found out that those palace people have been transferred to Changchun Garden, and the Iron Armor Army  Guard, it¡¯s too difficult to get in, and it¡¯s said that no one will be let out.¡± ¡°I know this,¡± Jiusecai said, ¡°I¡¯ve learned more about it than you¡± He pointed to the opposite side to signal Mu San.  Sitting down: "After I went out this morning, I planned to find people who had delivered goods to the palace to contact old acquaintances, but I couldn't contact anyone. Then I planned to find someone to contact people from Jinyi School, and it was still a  None of them have been contacted. The imperial guards are still guarding the Taiji Palace. They only know that the palace staff have gone to Changchun Garden. The Yamen of Jinyi School has been empty a few days ago, and only a few people hiding among the people are still there.  What a good idea, sir!" Mu San praised sincerely.  "There are no means, it's just some friendships in the past." Jiusecai said with some pride: "In the entire Chang'an City, it is extremely difficult to find a person who is a government official and has not benefited from my goods being spread all over the world. Although  On the surface, it looks like nothing has been found, but in fact, a lot of real things have been found. It¡¯s just that some people are too lazy to analyze the underworld people in Chang¡¯an City even though they have found something useful.  Give me some face, so I took a trip and came back with a lot of useful information. A lot of new soil was transported out of Changchun Garden a few days ago. Someone came forward to find Liba from Chang'an City to do it. You.  I also know that most of these Liba have gang backgrounds, otherwise they would not be able to get away with each other. I found out how many trucks of new soil had been shipped out, and then went to the Ministry of Works to ask someone. There has been no construction work in Changchun Garden recently, so  " Jiusecai said: "I calculated how many trucks of soil were transported, and I can roughly tell how big the hole was. Of course, it could be that there were a lot of holes dug, so what should I do?  If you bury people, then you can roughly estimate how many people died in Changchun Garden by subtracting the area occupied by the bodies. " "Ah!" Mu!  San was startled and opened his mouth not knowing what to say.  "The total number of servants in the Taiji Palace plus those from the Jinyi School must be more than three thousand. This is a calculation error and can be ignored. However, it can be inferred from this that these people may have all been killed.  Let me ask you, if General Tiejia ordered the killing of both the palace and the Jinyi school, what was the reason? Of course, it is possible that those who died were the descendants of the Yang family who were captured in Changchun Garden a few days ago, but the number is not comparable.  . And I asked the people who deliver food to Changchun Garden in the past few days. They say that there are more than 3,000 people in Guanggong and Jinyi School every day, so why only one.  Food for thousands of people?" Mu San thought hard and then shook his head.  "Stupid!" Jiusecai sighed and said: "I'm afraid that the little emperor of the Sui Dynasty is no longer alive. Although this inference is a bit far-fetched, I can't think of anything else." "The reason for this speculation is also because  The bright yellow brocade weaved by Hui Jinzhuang in the womb has expired for three days, and no one has come to pick it up. If it had been taken away in the past, according to Sui Dynasty customs, there should be a sacrifice to the God of Agriculture at the end of the month.  Ceremony. It¡¯s spring and it¡¯s time to plow the fields. Every year during this month, the Sui Emperor will lead his ministers to worship the God of Agriculture. This bright yellow brocade was obviously prepared for this ceremony, but no one took it away" Jiusecai was silent.  After a while he said: "Even if the people in the palace forget to eat and poop,, and it is impossible to forget what is prepared for the emperor.  There is only one explanation, and that is that the emperor is no longer here.  " "Also, the rouge and gouache from Phoenix Tower was sent to Changchun Garden from a few days ago.  And it can only be delivered to the door, no one can enter.  You have been in the palace for so long, you should know that the concubines in the palace only use things from the Phoenix Tower.  " "I know." Mu San nodded and said, "And each master uses a special one. It is carefully configured by the master of Phoenix Tower according to the different physique and skin color of each master.  It can be said that with so many noble people in the harem, no two people use absolutely the same things.  " "So, now there are two things you can write a secret letter to tell General Fang.  " Jiusecai stretched out a finger: "First, the little emperor is probably dead.  Second, the eldest princess is now in Changchun Garden.  These two things are very important!  "     Mu San came to the street again, sat down and ordered a bowl of hot noodle soup and a tray of steamed buns. The boss was still very enthusiastic and added a cold dish for him, but the beef was missing. It was probably the last time.  My mother-in-law scolded me, so I didn¡¯t dare to make any more decisions. ¡°You can¡¯t come here often anymore.¡± Mu San lowered his head while eating and said, ¡°If you do it more than three times, you will be suspected.  There are not many people in the Ouchi Guards Department left in Chang'an now, and I can't let you get in trouble.  Tell the others to find a way out of the city within this month, and then wait at Shivlipu outside the city.  If nothing else happens, we will send a few people to Yongzhou.  " The boss was obviously startled: "Why isn't it the responsibility of someone with a good reputation to take people out?  " Mu San shook his head: "Sometimes, you still have to rely on yourself.  People who are well-known in the world are very capable, so it will definitely be easier to take them out.  But just because the people who have a lot of money in the world are so capable I suddenly felt a little scary, so scary that I didn't dare to trust them completely.  " He thought of the wine and sex wealth, and thought of the simple but shocking words of the wine and sex wealth. " In the entire city of Chang'an, if Huotong wants to inquire about something, there should be something he can't find, right? Among those businesses, there are almost no Huotong  It doesn¡¯t matter if the world goes well, but because of this, Mu San always feels a little unsafe. ¡°I don¡¯t doubt that the world goes well, but I feel that the more we think it is safe, the more our opponents think so  "Mu San explained, and then said nothing.
