Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh sneak into the palace
"Oh?" Murong Fu was stunned, and then he remembered that he asked people from the Crystal Palace to check Guo Jing's whereabouts yesterday, but he didn't expect that they actually found it. "Show it to me quickly."
Xiao Zhao took out a small note and handed it to Murong Fu.
Murong Fu opened it and saw that it was a message written in digital code.
"The shopkeeper is quite cautious!" Murong Fu said with a smile.
Numerical codes are a common method used by the Crystal Palace to transmit messages, and generally require specific templates to decipher them. However, these things were originally created by Murong Fu, so naturally they were not difficult for him. He quickly calculated in his mind and came up with the answer in a short while.
"They are locked there!" Murong Fu looked slightly shocked, picked up Xiao Zhao and walked back.
When they returned to the inn, as expected by Murong Fu, Huang Rong had disappeared. Looking at the empty room, he felt a little melancholy in his heart for no reason. After a while, he sighed slightly, turned around and said to Xiao Zhao: "You and
Wait here, and if Gang Leader Huang comes back, tell her that Guo Jing is hidden in the Chui Gong Hall in the palace."
Xiao Zhao nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "Master, be more careful!"
"Don't worry, young master, I can conquer the world!" Murong Fu smiled and said proudly.
Since the Jin Kingdom drove southward and drove away the Song Kingdom, they made Kaifeng their capital, and the Imperial City was no exception. Even the names of many palaces and attics were named after the Song Kingdom.
Yujie is the central street of the entire Kaifeng city. It starts from Xuande Gate in the north, passes through Zhouqiao and Zhuque Gate, and goes straight to Xunmen Gate in the south of the outer city. It is about thirty feet wide and more than two hundred miles long. It was after Murong Fu came to this world.
The most spacious and majestic street I have ever seen.
At this time, he was standing at the end of Imperial Street, looking at Xuande Gate, the main entrance to the imperial city, from a distance. People were coming and going around him, and merchants of all sizes were shouting and selling. It was so lively that he would not be arrested as a suspicious person.
"Cui Gong Hall?" Murong Fu murmured and frowned slightly. Not only had he never heard of such an unusual name as Chui Gong Hall, he didn't even know where the emperor went to court in the imperial city.
"This shopkeeper is serious, why can't he give me an extra map?" Murong Fu couldn't help complaining. The imperial city is so big, and it would take three days and three nights to search for it in every pavilion, let alone now.
It was still daytime, and it was impossible for him to go so close to the palace to find someone.
After looking around, Murong Fu simply sat down in a teahouse and waved to the waiter, "Brother, I want to ask you something."
The waiter immediately gave Murong Fu a wary look, but when he caught a glimpse of the money he was weighing in his hand, he immediately smiled and said, "Sir, if you have any questions, just tell me. The younger one is a native of Tokyo.
You may not know the secrets, but if you ask about ordinary people or where the nobles live in Tokyo, I will still know."
When Murong Fu heard this, he couldn't help but look at the waiter in surprise. What he said was absolutely impeccable. If nothing else, just in terms of its smoothness, it was no less than some of the big shopkeepers in the world.
Damn, such a talented person actually works as a waiter in a small restaurant?
After taking a closer look, I saw that the waiter was dressed in gray linen clothes, with thin eyebrows and narrow eyes. His appearance could not be said to be delicate, but he had a rather unearthly temperament, which seemed out of place in this restaurant where dragons and snakes were mixed.
With his mind spinning, Murong Fu took out two more coins and put them in his hands, "As long as you can answer my question, these coins will be yours. If you can't answer..."
"This..." The waiter's eyes flickered, he hesitated for a while and then patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, sir, if you can't answer the answer, I don't want the young master's money."
Murong Fu looked at him with a half-smile, "This waiter is interesting!"
The waiter felt a little uncomfortable when Murong Fu looked at him, so he shouted slightly, "Young Master, if you have any questions, just ask."
"Okay, let me ask you, do you know who is responsible for purchasing items in the palace?" Murong Fu asked.
"Purchasing items?" The waiter's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Murong Fu warily, "May I ask why the young master is asking this?"
"What? I spent money to buy information, why don't I tell you the reason?" Murong Fu's face darkened, and he looked at him with cold eyes.
"No...no," the waiter trembled, "because the palace purchases a large number of items every day, and several adults are responsible for them. If the young master can tell me the reason, maybe it can save the young master.
There are quite a few detours.”
"Oh?" Murong Fu raised his brows slightly, then calmed down, "I have wrongly blamed you, please tell me."
"Yes," the waiter responded and started chatting, "Eunuch Cui is mainly responsible for the materials for meals, Eunuch Li for rouge and gouache, Eunuch Zhang for fabrics and clothing, and the materials required for small fortifications.
Eunuch Meng is in charge, and..."
"Okay, okay," Murong Fu saw that he seemed to be going on endlessly, and waved his hand impatiently, "You just need to tell me, where can I find these people?"
"Young Master is in a dilemma. They all live in the palace. How do you know where the younger one is? But..." The waiter was a little embarrassed for a moment, and then he glanced around and saw that no one had noticed this place.
, then came forward and whispered: "They will come out of Donghua Gate at Mao o'clock every day. You can go there to try your luck."
After finishing speaking, he shut up and looked at Murong Fu quietly.
Murong Fu's expression changed for a while, and after a while, he threw the money in his hand and said, "Your information is of some use, so I will reward you with this money."
The waiter hurriedly caught the money and thanked him profusely.
"By the way, do you know where Chui Gong Hall is?" Murong Fu suddenly asked again in a cold voice.
"The Chui Gong Hall is in Zi..." The waiter said vaguely while checking the quality of the silver with a smile. But in the middle of the sentence, he suddenly paused and his expression changed several times, "Master, I'm still young.
If you want to greet other guests, I won’t spend much time with you.”
After saying that, he turned around and ran away quickly. His body was light and strong, and he had disappeared into the lobby in the blink of an eye.
"Hehe, it's interesting," Murong Fu looked leisurely in one direction and chuckled, "A woman with good martial arts skills actually came to work as a waiter in a restaurant..."
However, this matter also aroused Murong Fu's curiosity. There were more important things to do at the moment, otherwise, no matter how mysterious Xiao Er's Qing Gong was, he would not be able to escape from his hands. He immediately left the restaurant and rushed straight to Donghua Gate.
"Damn it, this kid dares to tease me!" In front of Donghua Gate, Murong Fu looked angry and cursed, wishing in his heart to catch the former waiter and beat him up.
It turned out that after he ran to the Donghua Gate, he made some inquiries and found out that the father-in-laws who purchased goods went out at about midnight, but they had returned to the palace before midnight. In other words, if Murong Fu wanted to find those father-in-laws,
, you have to wait until tomorrow morning for a chance.
In fact, he had wronged the waiter. The waiter thought that Murong Fu was a businessman who wanted to establish relations with those father-in-laws in order to obtain huge profits. After all, there were many people like this in Kaifeng City.
"Forget it, let's wait until dark at night and sneak into the palace directly!" Murong Fu sighed and simply stayed near Donghua Gate.
In the blink of an eye, three hours passed, and Xu hour was approaching. The streets and alleys were brightly lit with candles and bustling with people. The excitement was not reduced at all, even more so than during the day.
Murong Fu couldn't help but feel slightly surprised. As far as he knew, a capital like Kaifeng would impose a curfew, so there wouldn't be any entertainment activities at night, let alone any excitement.
This is because he is ignorant. In fact, when the Northern Song Dynasty was still there, Kaifeng was the first city that never sleeps in the world. Not only did there not be a curfew at night, but there were also various entertainment venues and trading venues, especially some shady transactions.
, usually done at night, which gave rise to the title of "the city that never sleeps".
However, Murong Fu didn't care about this at this time. He found a slightly secluded corner, jumped into the palace wall, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.
"Have you heard? Xiaochunzi seems to be getting along with Miss Xiaocui..." A high-pitched voice rang out from under the palace wall.
Then another voice said, "Hey, forget it, I was the one who fell in love with that girl first, but Xiaochunzi took the lead."
"Who allowed me to lean on Eunuch Li's lap? Now Eunuch Li is the popular man in front of that adult..." the former little eunuch sighed sadly.
"Hey, you don't want your life. Are you allowed to say such nonsense?" Another young eunuch hurriedly scolded him.
"Why, the little eunuch can also steal women?" Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, and pointed at the two of them with his finger, and they were immediately unable to move.
"I have only one question to ask you. If you can answer it well, you can live!" Murong Fu stepped in front of the two of them and said coldly.
I saw that the already pale faces of the two little eunuchs became even paler, and their eyes were moving desperately, as if they were expressing something.
Murong Fu reached out and touched one of the young eunuchs.
After the little eunuch regained his freedom, his knees softened and he knelt on the ground. His voice trembled and he said, "You can ask me whatever you want, little Xingzi knows everything!"
"Where is Chui Gong Hall?" Murong Fu asked directly.
"Chang... hang..." Xiao Xingzi's face suddenly changed, his body trembled, and he fell to the ground, shaking his head desperately, "I don't know, I don't know anything..."
"Humph!" Murong Fu's eyes were cold, and with a flick of his hand, little Xingzi fell unconscious.
Then he stretched out his hand to untie the acupuncture points of another little eunuch, and before he could speak, he said: "Maybe telling you about this Chui Gong Temple will kill you, but if you don't tell me, your life will be gone now."
No matter what choice you make, think about it before you speak!"
"Yes, yes, hero!" The little eunuch knelt down on the ground, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Cui Gong Hall is right next to Zi Chen Hall, go forward from here..."
Then the little eunuch told the location of Chui Gong Hall in detail.
