It's a pity that after he reported the map master to the emperor last time, the emperor ordered other officials to take over, and there has been no progress so far. It is really a pity.
It was the map master who escaped quickly, otherwise he could have captured the person on the spot. Even if the person refused to surrender, he would have killed the person. Then the assassination of the prince would probably not have happened.
Gu Chengyu sighed, and then thought about whether the image of the old man who was the master of the painting was his own appearance. After all, the art of disguise does not exist in this world.
"Mingmo! Go get some pen and ink!"
Ming Mo quickly took back the pen and ink, and Gu Chengyu immediately drew the portrait according to his impression of the artist.
"Peng Si Cheng, Jiang Si Cheng! Last time I interrogated an assassin, he said that this person was from Daxing. Maybe this person was related to the assassination mission. Peng Si Cheng, give the portrait to the soldiers guarding the city.
We need to conduct more rigorous inspections in the past few days to prevent this person from running away."
The entire imperial city is so big, with row upon row of buildings and numerous people. If the map master just found a place to hide, it would be difficult for them to find him in just a few days.
After Peng Fang took the order and went out, Gu Chengyu turned his attention to Jiang Shaohua, who was standing silently aside.
Seeing Gu Chengyu's cold eyes looking over, he saluted Gu Chengyu and said, "Sir, please give me your instructions!"
"Then I'll trouble you, Jiang Si Cheng, to lead the portraits and search door to door. Since we are convinced that these people are still in the imperial city, and the city gates have been strictly guarded, naturally we only need to catch turtles in the jar, but it will only take some time. Jiang Si Cheng is rigorous in his work.
, I believe you will not disappoint me and His Highness the Crown Prince."
Jiang Sicheng raised his head and glanced at Gu Chengyu. When he saw Gu Chengyu's eyes were like a bottomless pool, he couldn't help but panic.
"yes!"
When Jiang Shaohua left the private room, Ming Mo couldn't help but said, "Sir! Since you said that this person is suspicious, why did you leave the matter to him? If he went to report the matter, wouldn't he have destroyed your Majesty's work?
Plan?"
Gu Chengyu looked out the window at the city, "I wanted him to report the news. Now that I have drawn the portrait of the painter, I don't believe he is not panicking."
He stood up and walked to the window. He saw a child acting coquettishly towards his parents and standing beside the candied haws seller, refusing to leave. He couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Keep an eye on him to see if he will go to Zhu's Mansion tonight. We can't relax at Zhu's Mansion either. No matter who leaves the mansion, they must find out their identity and ask what they did there."
Gu Chengyu was not focusing on the Zhu Mansion at the moment, but was thinking about it. Since Tu Shi and the others came to Dayan and had the task of finding the young master, have they found the young master?
It was so big and crowded, so it was not easy to find someone. However, the other party still had clues, but he had no clue at all.
If he could find the young master, he would also have an extra bargaining chip in his hand.
Gu Chengyu stared steadily at the bustling scene outside the window. Suddenly a carriage drove over from the west. Gu Chengyu's eyes were instantly attracted by the carriage.
To be precise, I was not attracted by the carriage, but by the man on horseback following the carriage.
He frowned slightly and watched the man and the carriage slowly coming from the west. The carriage was not moving very fast, and the man bent down and said something to the window of the carriage from time to time.
Gu Chengyu took a closer look at the carriage. It was quite luxurious and had strings of beads hanging from it. It was obvious at a glance that it was commonly used by women.
How could it be him? How could he appear here?
"Huan'er, are you feeling unwell?" the man asked softly, looking into the carriage.
"I'm much better now than before, but my mouth is a little dull, just hold two plums in my mouth." A gentle female voice sounded from inside the carriage, her tone full of tenderness.
"You have lost your appetite in the past few days and have lost a lot of weight. I heard that there is an old man selling candied haws in Nancheng. His candied haws are the most delicious in the capital. Just wait a moment and I'll send someone there.
Looking for.”
"Third Master, you can't eat the candied haws outside! Third Grandma is pregnant now, so it's better to be careful."
A girl's voice came, her tone mixed with helplessness and worry.
"It's okay, it's just a bunch of candied haws! I'll just eat two less." The woman persuaded softly. In fact, she has had a loss of appetite since she became pregnant. Now she has finally whetted her appetite. How can she give up on the food in her stomach?
child?
Ming Mo was a little curious as to why his master kept looking out the window and frowning. Could it be that he saw someone he knew?
He took two steps forward and took a look, Huh? Why is it him?
Tuanzi sat on his horse and looked around, why did his third master come to this Nancheng? Although the market here is lively, they are all traffickers and lackeys. It is too chaotic and is not a place where young masters from aristocratic families should come.
He saw a large teahouse in front of him, so he accidentally raised his head and glanced, "Huh? Third Master, do you think that is Mr. Gu?"
Zhu Pang quickly looked towards the second floor of the teahouse and saw a young man in a moon-white brocade robe with buttons and a stand-up collar standing by the window, with his crown and sash flying like an immortal coming to the world.
He paused for a few breaths, then happily raised his hand towards Gu Chengyu, and at the same time shouted: "Jinyu!"
Kong Shuhuan in the carriage was touching her slightly protruding belly when she heard her husband call Jin Yu, and then she was stunned.
Jinyu? Isn’t that the nickname of Mr. Gu?
Seeing Zhu Pang waving to him, Gu Chengyu also smiled and shouted, "Congguang!"
As early as two years ago, he had called Zhu Pang Congguang. It was too unfamiliar to call him Congguang brother, even though Zhu Pang was several years older than him.
"Huan'er, we met Jin Yu. Why don't we rest here for a while and go to the father-in-law's house in a hurry? You can still bear the pain. If not, I will send someone to talk to him and talk to him next time.
"
"Since we have met Third Master, if we don't go to see him, then we are rude, but we must not be rude. I am much better now, and everything is fine."
Zhu Pang suddenly saw that his friend was a little happy. Hearing what his wife said, he drove the carriage to the teahouse. He didn't notice that Kong Shuhuan called him any different from before.
When Gu Chengyu saw their carriage approaching the tea house, he immediately said to Ming Mo beside him: "Come down with me to greet them!"
"Yes!" Ming Mo was also wondering at this moment. During this national mourning period, officials and wives from major aristocratic families had entered the palace to express their condolences. Why did Mr. Zhu appear here?
Furthermore, the capital is under martial law during this period, and the officers and soldiers are searching for assassins. Logically speaking, it is better to stay in the mansion peacefully.
"Jin Yu! I haven't seen you for a while!" Zhu Pang casually greeted Gu Chengyu and helped Kong Shuhuan out of the carriage.
They are already very familiar with each other, there is no need to be polite and acrimonious, this is how the two of them have always gotten along.
Kong Shuhuan looked at the person in front of her through the curtain hat. He still had that gentle temperament, aloof from the world and independent.nn
