Wei Xiaobao stood up and walked outside the house. After walking a few steps, he saw that Xiang Yan was still sitting still and said, "Xiao Yan, the emperor asked us to find out about the assassin. Let's go wandering around the streets!" Xiang Yan stood up and walked towards Wei Xiaobao. The little princess asked nervously: "Brother Bao, brother Yan, do you want to inquire about my brother?" Fang Yi also looked nervous. Wei Xiaobao said: "Don't worry, good girl, we just go out and show off, we won't betray the young master's information."
Xiang Yan followed Wei Xiaobao outside the palace. Xiang Yan said: "Xiaobao, don't we already know that the assassin is from Prince Mu's palace? What else are we looking for?" Wei Xiaobao said: "The emperor not only asked us to find out the identity of the assassin, but also asked us to find their whereabouts. Xiang Yan said with a smile: "You are not really planning to betray Prince Mu's Mansion, are you?" Wei Xiaobao also smiled: "How could it be? If I betrayed Prince Mu's Mansion, wouldn't the little princess and Miss Fang be anxious with me? It's just that the emperor asked us Let’s go find the whereabouts of Prince Mu’s Mansion. It’s not easy for us to stay in the palace all the time, so we have to go out and wander around for a while.”
After they left the palace, they walked around the street a few times, bought a lot of snacks, and then came to a teahouse to listen to Mr. Shu's stories. Not long after, Wei Xiaobao suddenly said: "Xiaoyan, I'm going to a nearby casino to play a few games. Do you want to go?" Xiang Yan said: "You go, I will listen to books here." Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay, then I'm coming to find you."
At dusk, Wei Xiaobao returned to the teahouse and asked Xiang Yan to go back to the palace with him. The two returned to the palace and went to the study room. Kangxi was reviewing the memorial. As soon as he saw the two of them, he put down his pen and asked: "Have you heard any news?" Wei Xiaobao said: "The emperor knows everything like a god, and he is absolutely right. The master of the rebellion is indeed from the Mu family in Yunnan." Kangxi said happily : "Seriously? That's great. Look at Duolong's face, he's still unwilling to accept it now! What did you find out?"
Wei Xiaobao said: "These three assassins originally insisted that they were Wu Sangui's subordinates. Manager Duo beat them to death, and they refused to change their story no matter what they said." Kangxi said: "Duolong is good at martial arts, but he is a reckless man." Wei Xiaobao He said: "The slave obeyed the emperor's imperial decree and used the Mongolian sweat medicine to confuse the guard guard and led the assassin out of the palace. As expected, these three rebels were not suspicious at all." Kangxi asked again: "What happened to the three assassins? "
Wei Xiaobao said: "Xiaoyan and I took them out of the palace, and the three of them told us their real names. It turned out that the old one was called 'Shaking Lion' Wu Lishen, and the two younger ones were named Ao Biao and Liu Yizhou. They thanked us profusely, and finally were deceived by the slaves, telling us that the person they secretly presided over was a young man, whom the rebels called Young Master, and that he was the son of Mu Tianbo." Kangxi said: "Do you have any Find out their whereabouts?"
Wei Xiaobao said: "No. This Wu Lishen is very cautious and refuses to take us to their destination. However, the two servants pretended to admire the young master very much, and Wu Lishen agreed to introduce him to us." Kangxi asked again: "Do you think their young master will come to see you?" Wei Xiaobao said decisively: "Yes, everyone knows that the emperor trusts these two servants very much. If the young master can convince the two servants to work as undercover agents for Prince Mu's Mansion, Mu The palace can get a lot of benefits." Kangxi nodded and said: "That makes sense. When the young master of Prince Mu's palace comes to find you, you can take the opportunity to find out where they are staying in the capital." Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan responded in unison. : "Yes." He kowtowed and excused himself.
The next day, Xiang Yan went to the teahouse again to listen to Mr. Shu's storytelling. Suddenly Wu Lishen came to Xiang Yan and whispered: "Eunuch, please take a step to speak." Xiang Yan followed Wu Lishen to a secluded place, opened the door and went in, only to see two people standing in the room. One of them is a young man in his mid-twenties, with a dark face, a tall and thin figure, and his eyebrows are vaguely similar to the little princess. The other person was a tall old man with a red face. The old man had a sparse white beard and was over seventy years old. He was full of energy and had bright eyes.
Wu Lishen introduced the young man to Xiang Yan and said: "Eunuch Xiang, this is our young father-in-law." The young man was very kind and said: "I, Mu Jiansheng, thank you very much, Eunuch, for saving our companions." Xiang Yan He was with the emperor every day, and seeing princes, Baylor, ministers, and generals from time to time was not a big deal. As the saying goes: "House one's Qi and nourish one's body." Although Mu Jiansheng was famous, he was not as famous as Prince Kang.
Immediately he cupped his hands and said: "Young Master, you're welcome. I can't do big things with the heroes of Prince Mu's Mansion, so I can only help with small things later." Mu Jian said in a loud voice: "Eunuch, you said there is a reaction I wonder what the opportunity is for the Qing Dynasty to revive the Ming Dynasty?" Xiang Yan nodded and said, "Yes. I heard a rumor among the emperors. I heard that the old emperor was not dead, but went to Mount Wutai to become a monk." Mu Jiansheng, Wu Lishen and the old man were both shocked, Mu Jian said: "Father, are you saying that Shunzhi is a monk in Mount Wutai?"
Xiang Yan said: "Yeah. I heard that it was because the old emperor favored another concubine and snubbed the current empress dowager. The empress dowager was so angry that she sent someone to kill the concubine. The old emperor was so sad that he ran to Mount Wutai to become a monk. The monk has gone." He smiled again and said: "Wu Sangui brought the Tatars into the customs because of Chen Yuanyuan, and the old emperor ran to become a monk because his concubine was killed. This old emperor is a match for Wu Sangui."
