"Absolutely the same as you." Mu Ting said.
"No, just now I saw that Prince Mu seemed to be heading towards the warehouse where documents are stored." Lu Shaoting said rudely.
"Yes, I went there, but there were three locks in the warehouse. I couldn't open them, so I didn't find anything." Mu Ting told the truth.
Lu Shaoting was silent for a while: "I have a key here. As long as it is not a particularly delicate and complicated lock, it should be able to open it."
When he said this, he looked quite contented.
The Imperial City's Chief Inspector is indeed worthy of his reputation.
We will see later whether it is the Imperial City Division or Nangong Wenyue who is more powerful.
It seems that Lu Shaoting wants to return the favor just now.
Mu Ting thought for a moment: "Okay, I'm going to open the lock now, and you guys will cover me..."
"No, this key can't leave my sight." Lu Shaoting quickly refused and glanced at Zhu Sanlang, "Just let him divert those minions away. Also, I told Yang Kai when I came out, as long as If I don't come back at the appointed time, he will come out to look for me. He should be here almost by this time. Then I will give Zhu Sanlang a token, and Yang Kai will work with him to protect us."
"Okay." Mu Ting agreed. In general, if Xu Zhizhou really has a problem, it would be best for Lu Shaoting to get involved.
Lu Shaoting gave Zhu Sanlang a token, and then he and Mu Ting went straight to the warehouse where the documents were stored.
Just now, Mu Ting tried from top to bottom. The first two locks were opened, but the last one failed.
Lu Shaoting is in the same order. But he got stuck on the first lock and looked embarrassed: "This lock is quite sophisticated."
"But I just opened two." Mu Ting raised the key in his hand.
How could the Imperial City Division lose? Lu Shaoting straightened his expression and started to open the second lock.
But unfortunately, the second lock remains unchanged.
Mu Ting raised an eyebrow at the side. It seemed that Nangong Wenyue had a slight upper hand.
"Impossible." Lu Shaoting was a little frustrated. The lock in his hand had opened the door locks of many officials in the capital. There was no reason why he would become acclimatized when he arrived in Cangzhou City.
"Or use force to solve it..." Before Mu Ting finished speaking, Lu Shaoting inserted the key into the third lock.
The lock is unlocked.
Lu Shaoting looked at Mu Ting: "Prince Mu, please."
It's really... interesting.
The heavy warehouse door was opened, and Lu Shaoting stood at the door: "Prince Mu, please go first."
He is quite personable.
Mu Ting was not polite, opened the fire certificate, and ducked into the warehouse.
As soon as I entered, I was hit by a heavy smell of old paper.
If the owner of the Noodle Soup Shop didn't lie, then everything about his wife should be in the documents written after last autumn.
Mu Ting's head felt a little big as he looked at the book that was beaten into bases.
But this was a task assigned to him by Mrs. Qin herself, and of course he had to complete it.
"Last year's population register..." Mu Ting frowned, searching in the dim light.
The shopkeeper's wife had fled from famine, and she had married someone in Cangzhou City and settled down there. The state government office must have recorded it.
Mu Ting's eyes fell on a copy of "Cangzhou Prefecture Chronicles".
He took out the Fuzhi and searched through it with difficulty.
At this moment, he especially hoped that he could catch those words quickly at a glance.
The Di people never like to use words, they only like to fight. Therefore, he had always thought that it would be enough to have staff documents in the future. Who would have thought that one day, he would sneak into a government office in a certain city in Dasheng to look for these things.
In fact, when he was in the capital, he crammed every night, which was much better than before.
There is no word about escaping from famine in "Cangzhou Prefecture Annals". Not to mention fleeing from famine, the official records are full of good weather and a good harvest.
If it wasn't that the shopkeeper had lied, then this "Cangzhou Prefecture Chronicle" had lied.
Mu Ting tried hard to recall that there seemed to be no escape in Yanzhou last year.
"Hey, Prince Mu, someone is here." Lu Shaoting's voice came from outside.
Mu Ting had no choice but to put "Cangzhou Prefecture Chronicles" back on the shelf, blow out the book and walked out.
As soon as he walked out, Lu Shaoting quickly restored the locks to their original state: "Quickly leave."
After arriving at a safe place, Lu Shaoting asked Mu Ting: "Has it been found?"
Mu Ting raised his eyebrows: "Do you know what I want to check?"
"You'll know at a guess. Aren't you just trying to find out the identity of that young lady? Prince Mu and Madam Qin are going shopping and eating noodles in a big way, and everyone in Jinmanlou will be spared." Lu Shaoting said.
Mu Ting was surprised: "Do you also think that little lady's identity is fishy?"
Lu Shaoting shrugged: "It's just intuition. You can save it, the Imperial City Inspector, the emperor's lackey, has a very good nose."
Lu Shaoting, who was laughing at himself, didn't look so hateful.
"Then did you find anything?" Mu Ting straightened his expression, "That night at Pan Chengcai's birthday party, I noticed something was wrong with your eyes. You kept looking at the man in gray robe below him."
"It has nothing to do with you." Lu Shaoting said, "The man in gray robe looks like an old friend."
"Isn't it an old friend with hatred?" Lu Shaoting is the Imperial City's Inspector. Although he is under the Holy Order, people cannot hate the emperor, so they can only hate Lu Shaoting.
"Haha, Prince Mu was joking." Lu Shaoting didn't want to continue this topic, "I sent someone to keep an eye on him that night, but they quickly lost track of him."
Mu Ting pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "It seems that this Cangzhou City is much more interesting than we imagined."
Lu Shaoting didn't answer.
Finally, he left the state government office without any danger. The first thing Mu Ting did when he returned to Jinmanlou was to find Qin Xiangxiang.
Unexpectedly, before going upstairs, he saw an eyesore-Pan Wenxiong.
Mu Ting raised an eyebrow, why is this guy still in Jinmanlou so late?
Pan Wenxiong smiled very enthusiastically: "Where has Prince Mu gone? Why did you come back so late?"
"Why is Fourth Master Pan still here at such a late hour?"
Pan Wenxiong sighed: "To be honest with you, my father suffered a stroke and fell into a coma. My mother and I were kicked out of the Pan family. After much deliberation, we could only ask Mrs. Qin to take us in. Fortunately, we were both taken in." Mrs. Qin has a kind heart..."
Mu Ting was stunned, how could someone be so shameless?
"Young man is not lying. If Prince Mu doesn't believe it, you can check it out. The Pan family should be quite lively now, busy fighting for the position of head of the family." Pan Wenxiong said this with a smile on his face. It seems that the Pan family has nothing to do with him.
Mu Ting raised his eyebrows: "Fourth Master Pan is also the biological flesh and blood of Patriarch Pan, but Fourth Master Pan has no interest in the position of Patriarch?"
"Of course. I am a man, so I have to have fighting spirit. But I always like to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight. If I can find a ready-made head of the family, everyone will be happy," Pan Wenxiong said.
"Fourth Master Pan is a good strategist." Mu Ting said, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you for now."
"It just so happens that I have something to do." Pan Wenxiong said with a smile, "I want to go find my mother and tell her that I have settled down."
"Where is the royal family?" Mu Ting had a vague feeling in his heart.
"Of course it's in Mrs. Qin's room." Pan Wenxiong said very naturally.
He was smiling, and there was an urge that made Mu Ting want to make a fist and punch him away.
This guy is so abominable!
