Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

Gu Qingzhi was not lying when she said she could find out. She had not forgotten that the most powerful underground intelligence point in Kyoto was in Wutong Lane.

She climbed into the backyard of Changyi Casino with ease and found Old Man Qin.

As expected, the old man was sitting in the yard basking in the sun again, and as usual he was not surprised by her arrival.

A huge black dog was lying at his feet, dozing comfortably. When it heard someone coming, it just moved its ears without even lifting its eyelids.

"You really don't consider yourself an outsider." Old man Qin rocked the rocking chair twice, opened his eyes and teased her.

Gu Qingzhi didn't waste any more words with him. She just sat down and took out a purse from her arms.

"It's urgent to earn my money. Do you want to do it?"

Old man Qin looked at the bag full of money and immediately sat up from his rocking chair with a smile on his face.

"Do it, do it. That old guy Yuan Jie didn't give me much money. It's not bad to earn it back from his apprentice. Besides, I can make money from Lan Zhou, so I can be considered successful."

Gu Qingzhi heard the sarcasm in his words and frowned, "You make me sound like a stingy person."

Old man Qin came over flatteringly and said, "Boss Lanzhou, what are you talking about? Just tell me what you want to do and I will definitely do it for you."

Gu Qingzhi rolled her eyes at him and stated her request directly: "In the winter of the year before last, when Concubine Hui passed away in the palace, a palace guard with a scar on his face and a burly figure died. I want all the information he had before his death, including his family and colleagues. Give it to me tomorrow."

Now Old Man Qin understood why Gu Qingzhi was so generous. To find out information about a person who was related to the palace and died a long time ago, and to get the result within one day, the difficulty was definitely worth the money.

"I thought you were here to show my respect, but you turned out to be here to cheat me. You two are really the same, master and disciple. You don't want to suffer any loss at all."

Old man Qin looked at the bulging money bag on the table with dissatisfaction, looking unmoved.

Gu Qingzhi pursed her lips. The arrogant old man complained that the money was too little but he was unwilling to say it directly.

However, she had just used her monthly salary to pay Gu Fengping's apprenticeship fees, and now she had no money left. She thought for a long time before she spoke.

"As long as you can find out, I'll be your thug for free for a month when you need me."

Old Man Qin's eyes widened for a moment when he heard Lan Zhou working as a thug. This was something he had never heard of before. With her strength, it would be enough for her to guard the entire Changyi Casino by herself. Then she wouldn't have to pay those guys who only eat for free wages for a month. The thought of it made him happy enough.

Moreover, if that old man Yuan Jie knew that his beloved disciple was working for him for free, he would probably be so angry that he would be fuming. This deal is quite a good deal!

"really?"

"really."

"make a deal!"

Old man Qin's shrewd little eyes curved again. He picked up the purse and happily put it in his arms.

profiteer.

Gu Qingzhi couldn't help but complain in her heart.

"How is my master doing lately?" Before leaving, Gu Qingzhi was still a little worried, so she asked casually.

Old Man Qin casually stroked the big black dog's smooth fur and said casually, "The market there has been stable recently. Your master handed the business over to his subordinates and went traveling. He also released two of your junior brothers and sisters, who came to me yesterday."

Gu Qingzhi was curious: "Which two?"

"Nan Ke and Huang Liang."

Gu Qingzhi's mind moved slightly, that's right.

She already had a rough guess about the retainer Gao Ye mentioned. If nothing unexpected happened, it was most likely one of the two perverted guys.

However, this was not something she should consider right now. After agreeing with Old Man Qin to give her the result tomorrow, she left Changyi Casino.

The next day, Gu Qingzhi got the results as expected and brought them back to the villa to open them with Feng Zhanye.

The information on the paper is very detailed, which shows that Old Man Qin put a lot of thought into it.

The palace gate guard was named Chen Qi. He lived in Gengyan Street. He had a wife and two children, a boy and a girl, the older one was eight years old and the younger one was five years old.

In his early years, Chen Qi relied on his ancestral juggling skills to perform with storytellers from his hometown, and saved enough money to get married and have children.

Not long after that, his fellow villagers who had performed with him parted ways with him, and Chen Qi no longer did the street juggling business.

Chen Qi's wife worked in a dyeing factory. She saved money to buy him a guard, and then he went to work in the palace.

Because Chen Qi was quite clever, he was appreciated by his superiors in the guard camp and became a small supervisor within a few years.

A few days after the news of Concubine Hui's death was announced in the winter of the year before last, Chen Qi suddenly disappeared, and no one has seen him since then.

The paper also included the location of the guard compound of his camp and the specific address of his home.

"Aye, it looks like if we want to investigate further, we need to go there ourselves."

Gu Qingzhi put away the letter and looked up, only to see Feng Zhanye's slender eyes staring at her without blinking, as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't come back to his senses until she spoke.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?" Gu Qingzhi asked.

Feng Zhanye withdrew his thoughts and just shook his head: "Nothing, there is no time to lose, let's set off now."

The two knew that they didn't have much time to waste, so they immediately set off for the Guards' Court.

The Guards' Courtyard was not far from the foot of the imperial city. It was the collective residence of the palace gate guards. As soon as Gu Qingzhi and Feng Zhanye entered, they ran into several guards who were on leave and were about to go out.

She quickly grabbed one of them and asked, "Sir, please tell me, is Chen Qi here?"

The man looked her up and down and asked curiously, "Who are you to him? What do you want from him?"

Gu Qingzhi pretended to be a stranger and said awkwardly, "I am his cousin from the same hometown. The person behind me is my good friend. This is our first time in Kyoto. We are unfamiliar with the place, so we came to him for help."

"From outside? No wonder..." The person next to the man laughed strangely, "It seems that you don't know that he is in trouble?"

"Something happened? What happened?" Gu Qingzhi looked a little confused.

"He has been missing for more than a year. I guess he died a long time ago. Your trip today was in vain."

After that, the guards were about to leave, but Gu Qingzhi quickly stopped them: "Military officers, do you know why he disappeared?"

The men shook their heads and said, "Who knows which master in the palace he offended? If you are interested, go inside and ask Wang Wu who lives in the second to last room at the end."

After thanking the few people, Gu Qingzhi went to the guards' courtyard with Feng Zhanye, found the house they mentioned, and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

A lazy voice came from inside the house, followed by a series of footsteps, and the door was opened.

The person who opened the door was a short, dark-skinned man, probably the Wang Wu they mentioned.

Wang Wu looked at the two strangers at the door, leaning against the door, half-closed his eyes and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Chen Qi." Feng Zhanye said coldly.

Wang Wu shuddered for a moment, dodged twice, and stealthily took a few steps back to close the door. Seeing that he did not react properly, Gu Qingzhi quickly held the door open.

"Can you please stop looking for me as a debt collector? It's not the money I owe, and I don't even know where Chen Qi is!"
