After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 112 The old beggar

When they arrived at the study, as soon as An Yi appeared, Shen Chenli slapped him. An Yi groaned and fell to his knees, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Yu Tingwan took a look and said nothing. This was the rule of Prince Chen's mansion and she didn't care about it.

"I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have fought with the princess."

"Go down and accept your punishment. Tell everyone in the palace that if anyone dares to fight with the princess again, think twice!"

"Yes!"

Butler Chen hurried over and responded immediately, and Song Shixu also bowed his head to admit his mistake.

It was his fault that the secret guards didn't manage well. It was not okay to fight with the princess, even if it was just a show in public. What's more, this was the princess recognized by the prince, and it was more likely... that she was the apple of his eye!

An Yi also knew that he had made a mistake and was willing to accept the punishment.

When there were only three of them left in the room, Yu Tingwan drank a sip of milk tea and took out a book from his arms, actually taking it out from the space.

"Look, our Lord Yu is hiding very well!"

Song Shixu reached out and took the book. Dasheng Mountain and Water Travel Notes, isn't this just a travel note? What can it hide?

"Open it and take a look."

Song Shixu handed the book to Shen Chenli, and when he opened it, he looked over. He was stunned, then his face became serious, and the atmosphere in the room changed instantly.

"This is not..." Song Shixu glanced at Shen Chenli, carefully observing his expression.

"Isn't this... a kind of writing system from Dongqi?"

He never thought that he would see Dongqi's writings in Dasheng Capital, the place where power is concentrated!

It’s not that I haven’t seen it before, but what I have seen are letters between traitors and other surrounding countries, and the contents are all related to important court affairs, which is treason.

But what I saw was actually the Travels of Da Sheng translated into the language of Dong Qi. There are many things worth pondering in it!

"Dongqi script?"

Yu Tingwan frowned. She only knew that the Da Sheng characters were all traditional Chinese characters, so she could guess that this should be the characters of another country. She didn't know that this was actually the characters of Dong Qi.

She remembered that Shen Chenli's mother was...Princess Dongqi, and now, Yu Huaiyi might be involved with Dongqi?

Yu Tingwan looked at Shen Chenli, what would he think?

After flipping through a few pages of the book, Shen Chenli put it down and looked at the two of them.

"I suspected him in my previous investigation, but I didn't expect that he was related to Dongqi."

"But, if that's all you have, I'm sure you won't be so sure, right? Or is the thing you told me about before, which hasn't been investigated yet, also related to this?"

Shen Chenli nodded, "Our people found out that since Yu Huaiyi gained a foothold in the capital, he found a caravan to transport various goods to him every year. In the past two months, this caravan began to frequently enter and exit the imperial cities of various countries.

Our people suspected that they were hiding their true destination, but today's book proves where they really want to go!"

So, according to the current evidence, Yu Huaiyi was guilty of treason?

"Not sure. Without direct evidence, we can't convict him. So, we need to find someone else to keep an eye on him. And your mother..."

Yu Tingwan naturally knew what Shen Chenli was hesitant to say. If Yu Huaiyi really committed treason, then her mother's current situation might be dangerous. After all, it is very likely that she knew something about Yu Huaiyi, which led to her disappearance.

"You guys go check it out. I will also find the place where they hid my mother as soon as possible. Since he has revealed today that he knows that my mother is not dead, I am afraid that he will take action if he keeps an eye on him recently."

Shen Chenli handed the matter of Yu Huaiyi over to Song Shixu to investigate, while he continued to ask people to investigate the whereabouts of Yu Tingwan's mother.

Yu Tingwan naturally knew this, so what she did was to let the people in West Lane keep an eye on the Yu family.

"Is the one the young master asked us to keep an eye on the princess's family?"

"Bah, what princess's maiden family? Are they worthy of being called the princess's maiden family?"

Maodan squatted in the alley, looking at the gate of the Shangshu Mansion in the distance, his eyes full of anger.

If it weren't for the young master and the princess, the people in West Lane would still be fighting with dogs for a bite of steamed bun!

"That's right, our princess is just like Tianxian'er, and this Yu family is just a pile of cow dung!"

Nowadays, most of the people in West Lane work in the princess's shop, and the rest are running the business in West Lane with the help of the young master.

Such a good thing can only be done by a fairy. The princess is such a fairy, and the young master is also... a male fairy!

These children who usually beg in the capital city also found their own career under the guidance of the young master, which is - to continue begging!

But this time of begging was obviously different from before.

People like the young master make use of begging in various places in the capital to keep track of what's going on in various places in the capital. They want to know everything from how many eggs a chicken laid today to which prince is close to the prime minister.

They don't have to do anything, just keep an ear to the ground and keep an eye on all directions.

Now this is the first thing the young master asked them to do, to guard the residence of the Minister of Revenue, observe the movements of the Minister of Revenue, and report immediately if there is any situation.

So the situation appeared that they were squatting in an alley outside the Shangshu Mansion.

"We've been keeping an eye on him for a few days, but we don't think there's any movement from Minister Yu. He just brought his mistress back from outside a while ago, and I heard that the concubine in the mansion has been making a fuss for several days!"

"Is this concubine anxious? Isn't this how she entered the mansion? Even the legitimate wife can't do anything to her!"

The little beggars who were talking looked at each other.

"That's not what I said!"

The little beggar looked at Maodan and felt a little anxious. This would expose the princess's scars. They had said that they would not tell anyone even in private. It would not be good to make the princess think of her mother and feel sad.

Maodan reached out and pushed him aside, revealing a sloppy figure in the corner behind him.

"Old man, what are you talking about?"

The little beggars then discovered that an old beggar had sat behind them without them noticing!

Maodan was even more annoyed. They had just been talking about the young master and the princess. Didn't this old beggar hear everything?

If he were to spread this out, the prince and princess would probably become the target of public criticism!

The more Maodan thought about it, the more critical the situation seemed to him, and the look in his eyes as he looked at the old beggar became more vicious.

They had finally won the favor of the young master and the princess, and were able to work for the young master and live a decent life in the future. No one could stop them!

Seeing that the kid in front of him had a gradually strange look in his eyes, the old man hurried to explain for himself.

"I didn't hear anything. I was just hungry, so I stayed here for a while longer. But..."

The old beggar grinned, "I'm hungry. If you can find me some food, I might be able to give you some information!"

Maodan and his companions looked at each other, their eyes fixed on the ferocious old beggar who was grinning at them.
