I just want to live a good life

Chapter 347 Xia Family Courtyard

"Knock him out, tie him up, find an inn, throw him in, and send him food once a day."

Su Qingmo wanted to use the same tactics the bad guys used against him.

Su Nuan immediately rejected this idea.

This method worked on him because he was ruthless and unreasonable in the imperial city. In addition, Su Nuan was under house arrest and failed to discover that he was in trouble in time, so the bad guys succeeded for many days.

It wouldn't work if it was Mu Yunbai. After all, Mu Yunbai was a royal relative, even though he was a bastard's son. But King Ankang had paid more attention to his son since the death of his first son. If he found out that Mu Yunbai was missing, he would definitely search the entire city. If he was left in the inn, he would definitely be found with a simple search.

Mu Yunbai could not be brought into the city no matter what, so a few people discussed it and finally decided to leave one person outside the city to watch over Mu Yunbai, and the others would go into the city to look for Fusheng. This glorious and arduous task finally fell on Xia Changze, who was not convenient to show up in the imperial city.

The other four people disguised themselves and sneaked into the city. Before leaving, they agreed that they must leave after five days, regardless of whether they could find Fusheng or not.

The imperial city was still prosperous, and the first thing the four people did after entering the city was to find a place to live.

The Xia family has a small courtyard in the south city. Su Nuan had visited it before with her mother and sisters-in-law. It was hidden in the city and was well connected, so it was not easy to be surrounded. It was a good place to hide.

Su Nuan brought the three of them to the courtyard. The courtyard was fully equipped with everything except food. After they allocated the rooms, they started buying firewood, rice, oil and salt. They could save a lot of money by cooking their own meals.

The total amount was twenty-five taels of silver, which they might have to use as escape expenses, so they dared not squander it.

After being busy for the whole morning, they finally managed to have lunch while enjoying the meal cooked by Su Nuan herself.

It tastes delicious.

Even the people living in the next yard were aroused by the hustle and bustle on the other side of the wall, and they also wanted to taste the woman's cooking skills.

"Sir, next door is..."

Ying Shu made a gesture to Fusheng to keep quiet, and then the two of them returned to the house.

"Sir, Concubine Xia has returned to the Imperial City. But why didn't she go back to the Crown Prince's Mansion, but came here with those people?"

Ying Shu shook his head. He couldn't understand why this happened, but he was very sure of one thing: Fusheng could no longer come to his place. Even he himself might have to stay at home to avoid being bumped into by Xia Qingyan.

"Fusheng, please don't come here again for the time being. I will come to you if there is anything. You should hide for now."

"Yes, sir. What about the young lady?"

"No need to stare anymore."

While the people next door were still immersed in the joy of delicious food, Fusheng quickly sneaked away.

Ying Shu stared at the wall between the two courtyards for a long time, as if he wanted to see through it, and finally murmured, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Su Nuan and his friends never dreamed that they would miss their goal in just one meal.

That afternoon, the four of them split up and went to several places where Fusheng might have gone to to gather information.

Chu Qi and Su Qingmo were in a group. They went to the vicinity of Fusheng's home and to the merchants who might have had business dealings with Fusheng before to inquire.

Zhusheng Street, the most likely and least likely place, was left to Su Nuan and Ye Xiaobai.

Su Nuan disguised herself and took Ye Xiaobai to Zhusheng Street. The business here has been declining since Fusheng took away a group of small shopkeepers.

The whole street is deserted.

Seeing this scene, Su Nuan couldn't help but feel sad.

This was her first entrepreneurial venture in this time and space, and it made her a lot of money. It took less than half a year to achieve this.

Two years' rent was just wasted.

Just thinking about it makes me angry!

The shop assistants on this street all knew Su Nuan. Since it was not convenient for Su Nuan to walk around the street, she asked Ye Xiaobai to go and get the news alone while she waited at the corner of the street.

Ye Xiaobai went to Liangyi Zhai first according to Su Nuan's instructions.

Liangyi Zhai was still empty, with some dust accumulated in the room. Ye Xiaobai didn't notice anything unusual and quickly left.

Then he went from shop to shop to ask whether Fusheng had appeared recently.

After visiting all the shops, he came to the street corner and met Su Nuan.

The two agreed to meet in front of a teahouse, but when Ye Xiaobai arrived at the teahouse, he didn't see anyone.

He looked around the teahouse but couldn't find Su Nuan, so he became anxious.

The scope was expanded to include an area of ​​one mile in radius with the teahouse as the center.

I found it when the sun was setting.

Just when he was getting anxious, Su Nuan appeared in front of the teahouse with a strange man.

The man looked very ordinary, so ordinary that he could not be recognized if he stood in a crowd.

The man stood behind Su Nuan with his head down. Ye Xiaobai didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend. As soon as he walked in front of the two of them, he pulled Su Nuan behind him.

"Who is he?"

Ye Xiaobai asked Su Nuan in a low voice.

"Don't be nervous, we're one of us." Su Nuan replied in a low voice, with obvious pleasure in her voice.

Ye Xiaobai looked at the man opposite suspiciously.

"Come, let me introduce you."

As she spoke, Su Nuan walked out from behind Ye Xiaobai, pointed at Ye Xiaobai and said, "Song Qi, this is my new little brother. I call him Xiaobai."

After that, he pointed at Song Qi and said, "This is Song Qi, my right-hand man. It will be easy to find Fusheng with him here."

Ye Xiaobai and Song Qi greeted each other and got to know each other.

"Where did the lady go just now?"

Ye Xiaobai asked. Ever since he started following Su Nuan, he started addressing her as Miss.

"I went to do something big."

Su Nuan replied with a smile.

In fact, she had just gone to the Ministry of Justice with Song Qi, but she was waiting outside for Song Qi to go in alone.

For two things.

One is the case of Xia Changze. Song Qi found a person who was most likely the real murderer who killed Mu Yunsong and framed Xia Changze.

This man's surname was Chen and his name was Zhong. He was originally a guard in the general's mansion.

More than two months ago, he had an argument with Su Nuan because he didn't want to be sent to work in the orchard, and was finally kicked out of the General's Mansion by Xia Lian.

This man was at the scene on the day Mu Yunsong was murdered, and Song Qi has sufficient evidence to prove this.

Once these evidences are presented to Lord Shen, he will naturally make good use of them.

Su Nuan had another purpose in asking Song Qi to see Lord Shen, which was to ask Lord Shen to help bring something to Mu Yunting. This thing was the token with "As if I were here in person" written on it that Mu Yunting put on her.

This token was too "valuable", so Su Nuan didn't dare to carry it with her, so she sent it to Lord Shen under the pretext of asking Song Qi to investigate a case, and then Lord Shen returned it to Mu Yunting.

Although I'm a little reluctant, there's no reason to keep his things since I've decided to leave.

She would never do such a stupid thing as being reminded of someone by seeing something.

Who knows who is in the arms of the person you are thinking of when you see the thing!
