My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

Cui Qimo swept all the scrolls on the table to the ground, "Waste, a bunch of waste..."

The commander of the imperial guards Qian Weimin and the chief eunuch of the palace guards, who were summoned into the palace overnight, knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a word.

Cui Qimo threw a teacup at the chief eunuch, and a bump immediately appeared on his head. Blood immediately flowed down, but he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it.

"Tell me, tell me, how could someone hiding in the cold palace be found? My concubine was kidnapped by two men in the palace. Where can I put my face? Where can I save my dignity? The thieves entered my palace like they were in a vegetable market. How do you do your job? What if the thieves came for me?"

No one could bear the weight of this hat. The two people in the audience lowered their heads even lower and almost fell to the ground with their whole bodies.

"Your Majesty, calm down. Your health is the most important thing." Eunuch Li said tremblingly, "I heard that there were two thieves who entered the palace. They are both masters. One of them, in particular, has reached a superb level of martial arts..."

"You still have the nerve to say that? Your guy is just the same good-for-nothing!" Cui Qimo slammed the table.

Eunuch Li quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty."

The eunuch who was guarding Concubine Wan was his subordinate and the best martial artist in the palace. However, he was unexpectedly no match for the thieves.

He also knew that what he had just said would anger the emperor, but what could he do?

He, Qian Weimin and the chief of the imperial guards were currently in the same boat, and speaking well of them was the same as speaking well of himself.

"Seal off all the city gates, conduct strict inspections, and make sure to intercept Concubine Wan. Investigate, quickly find out who did this!"

Cui Qimo suddenly had an idea and had a bad feeling: "Go to the dungeon of the Ministry of War right now and see if that person is still there."

Eunuch Li quickly agreed and trotted out.

After a long time, Eunuch Li came back sweating profusely. Before he even got close, Cui Qimo couldn't wait to greet him, "How is it?"

"Yes, it's still there! Everything is normal."

Cui Qimo finally let out a long breath, and his heart was finally at ease. "Pass the order, strengthen the guards, and don't let even a fly in!"

……

***

Yunzhou, Xinglong Town.

Mei Xueer thought that she would stay here for a while, and there were many people in her group, so it would not be convenient to stay in an inn all the time, so she rented a small farmyard.

It was just daybreak and Mei Xueer was still asleep when she was woken up by the shake.

"Nanxing, what are you doing?" Without even opening her eyes, she opened Nanxing's hand and turned over, "Let me sleep a little longer."

"Miss, get up quickly. Something big has happened." Nanxing leaned close to her ear and spoke loudly.

Something big happened, what big thing could it be? Mei Xueer opened her eyes a little.

She couldn't sleep again last night and didn't fall asleep until midnight.

"A came back and said that after we left, someone went to see Wangli." Mei Xueer's eyes widened instantly, but she still stayed in bed and didn't get up. She just asked, "Who?"

"Liu Piaopiao, and...Gu Jia."

"What?" Mei Xueer immediately jumped up from the bed.

"That's why I said it was a big deal!" Nan Xing quickly took a towel and said, "Come on, wash your face first to wake up."

"You've frightened me sober." Mei Xue'er wiped her face a few times, "Call them together immediately and have a meeting—"

"It's like this, Princess. After you left the day before yesterday, I have been pretending to be a villager and working in the wheat fields near Wangli's house." Wen Jia drank a glass of water and continued, "There was no movement that afternoon. It was the medicine boy, the child with some disease you mentioned, no, the adult, the adult who looked like a child, had some problems. I found that Wangli seemed to be very afraid of him. I saw that they seemed to have a dispute over something, but it was not really a dispute. To be precise, Wangli was unilaterally scolded. In short, the medicine boy looked very angry and his expression was vicious. Wangli was old, but he didn't dare to resist him. But I was too far away, so I didn't hear what they said, and I didn't dare to get too close for fear of being discovered."

"From now on, you should all learn lip reading and get some training. I'll pay for it." Mei Xueer poured him another glass of water and handed it to him. "Don't be anxious. Speak slowly."

Wen Jia was obviously a little thirsty, so he picked up the bottle and drank it all. "Then there were many patients coming and going, they should be villagers nearby. I found that as long as there were other people around, the medicine boy seemed particularly respectful. But he seemed to have really good medical skills, and he treated many patients himself."

"Even if he doesn't know how to do it, he will learn something from Wang Li." Wen Wu interrupted, "Besides, if he doesn't know some medical skills, how can he stay by Wang Li's side as a medicine boy?"

Wen Ding nodded and said a long sentence: "When I was injured last time, this person was not with Wang Li."

Mei Xueer gave him a thumbs up and said, "Good, you have made progress in speaking - A, continue."

"Next, I will talk about the most important part..."

"Since it is the most important, why didn't you say it at the beginning? Did you learn it from Brother Yi Er?..." Wen Bing's voice became smaller and smaller because Wen Jia glared at him.

"I told you not to talk nonsense!" Nan Xing also glared at Wen Bing.

Wen Bing immediately lowered his head and closed his mouth tightly.

"Shut up!" Mei Xueer scolded in a low voice, then turned around and gave Wen Jia a very gentle smile, "Jia, ignore them, just continue."

Wen Jia looked at the unusually gentle Mei Xueer, his body trembled, feeling a little uncomfortable. He quickly picked up the teapot on the table, gulped down most of the pot, wiped his mouth, and continued.

"Yesterday morning, a carriage came and three people got off the carriage, Gu Jia, Liu Piaopiao, and her maid named Huamei. Wang Li and the medicine boy welcomed the three of them into the house. I didn't hear what they said, but from the state of the people meeting, they must have known each other before, and seemed to be very familiar with each other, and also with the medicine boy. But how should I put it, I always feel that the medicine boy is secretly wary of Liu Piaopiao and Gu Jia. I'm not very sure, because they only stood in the yard for a short while and then went into the house, so I couldn't go forward to inquire. Also, when Liu Piaopiao got off the carriage, When they left, he was old and frail, and needed help. But when they left at noon that day, although he was still old, his spirits were much better. But they didn’t seem to get along very well during their conversation in the house. After they came out, their faces were not very good, but it can be seen that Liu Piaopiao and Gu Jia are on the same side. Huamei of course follows her master’s wishes, so the main reason is that she doesn’t get along well with the medicine boy. And Wangli’s expression is relatively peaceful, as if he doesn’t care much no matter how they argue. Oh, by the way, Gu Jia said something at the end, and the medicine boy couldn’t help but attack him, and was blocked by Liu Piaopiao. That’s about it. "

After Wen Jia finished speaking, he looked at Mei Xueer eagerly and thought: This information should be useful.

Sure enough, Mei Xueer looked at him differently, "Jia, you've worked hard."

She took a deep breath. Wen Jia had indeed brought back important information this time, so she decided to reward him.

Employees should not only be praised verbally, but also be given material incentives, so as to stimulate their passion for work and entrepreneurship and let them unleash their potential.

So, she decided to cut the meat.

"Jia, you have performed a great deed this time. I have decided to give you a third-class merit and reward you with ten taels of silver."

Everyone: Ah... there is such a good thing? But, what the hell is the third-class merit?

Mei Xueer explained: "My rewards are divided into four levels. The third-class merit award is ten taels of silver, the second-class merit award is twenty taels, the first-class merit award is fifty taels, and the special merit award is one hundred taels. Nanxing, you record all of this in the book. At the end of the year, whoever has made the most achievements will receive an additional bonus."

"Then how can one win special and first-class merit?" Wen Wu asked hurriedly.

"...Yeah, just like the other day, when I risked my life to beat up the assassin."

Wen Wu's face was broken with laughter. "Princess, I performed a great deed that day. Look, the wound on my arm hasn't healed yet!"

"I mean, starting today."

Wen Wu was silent for a moment, but he remembered the bonus amount for each achievement in his heart.

Mei Xueer generously asked Nanxing to take out ten taels of silver and stuffed it into Wenjia's hand. "Look at all the pimples on your body. They must have been bitten by the bugs in the wheat field. Go take a bath and have a good sleep."

"I'm not sleepy nor tired!" Wen Jia said loudly, almost moved to tears.

"Be good and go wash yourself before coming back."

"I'm not tired." Wen Jia continued to say that he was a hardworking and good boy.

Mei Xueer: "... Could it be that you don't smell the stench on your body?"

Wen Jia: ...Okay, I'll go wash up and come back later.

"Wu, go over there immediately and keep watching. Keep a close eye on that Wangli and that dwarf." Mei Xueer said sternly.

"Yes!" Wen Wu instantly burst into passion for doing things and starting a business, and stood up proudly, "I'll set off now!"

Brother A brought back so much useful information, I will definitely be able to make a contribution. It's great to have money.
