After Shen Qiu left the Mu Mansion, he went straight to find the beggars who had become his brothers.

The beggars were still in the same place, with the same expressions as before, and even raised their hands to wave.

Shen Qiu ran over and asked tentatively, "Do you know about the Jingyang Marquis Mansion?"

The youngest beggar blinked in confusion, "Isn't this something everyone knows?"

"You knew! Then why didn't anyone tell me about this?" Shen Qiu jumped up.

The beggars were even more shocked than he was, "You didn't know?!"

"Should I know?" Shen Qiu was a little overwhelmed.

"Shouldn't you know?" the beggars said in unison.

Shen Qiu took a deep breath and closed his eyes, then opened them again. "So why didn't you talk to me about Marquis Jingyang yesterday?"

"Aren't you just here to get information? We thought you knew everything." The beggars looked innocent.

"Besides, haven't you been keeping an eye on that family? We're afraid of disturbing you while you're trying to get information!"

Shen Qiu was choked by the beggars' words.

He almost laughed out of anger.

"Okay, then can you tell me the current situation of Jingyang Marquis Mansion?" Shen Qiu asked gritting his teeth.

The beggars scratched their heads, "What's the situation now?"

"Oh, does it count as the fact that Marquis Jingyang was carried back to the palace by eunuchs this morning?"

"I already know this, is there anything else?"

"Uh, was a body carried out from Jingyang Marquis's Mansion yesterday?"

"Oh? Tell me carefully."

Shen Qiu's eyes lit up. Someone died in Jingyang Marquis' Mansion?

The beggar who was speaking stretched out one hand and rubbed it, his gesture was very clear.

Shen Qiu: ...

He took some silver from his own pocket and gave it to the beggar.

Anyway, he would not reveal the big bag of silver that the lady gave him!

The beggar took the silver in his hand, weighed it, and smiled with satisfaction, "Where was I just talking about?"

"A body was carried out from Jingyang Marquis's mansion."

“Yes, the body was carried out in a charred state!”

"!!!" Shen Qiu's eyes suddenly widened.

What is going on in Marquis Jingyang’s mansion?

Why are there still people being burnt?!

The beggar saw Shen Qiu's stunned expression and continued speaking with satisfaction.

"It is said that someone saw black smoke rising from the Jingyang Marquis's mansion. It could be someone who died from a fire."

Shen Qiu's curious face drooped suddenly.

I thought it was some secret of Marquis Jingyang’s Mansion, but it turned out to be an accident.

"Any other information?"

"..."

The young beggar touched the old beggar next to him with his arm and said, "I don't know anything else. You can ask him."

Shen Qiu shifted his gaze to the old beggar, but the old beggar grinned, his cloudy eyes fixed on Shen Qiu's waist bag.

Rubbed his hands together.

Shen Qiu: ...

It seemed like he was speechless a lot today.

And the money is spent very quickly. Could it be that the more money comes in, the more money goes out?

Shen Qiu became more and more skilled in taking the silver out of his pocket.

The old beggar laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close. "I saw with my own eyes those eunuchs carrying Jingyang Hou back to the palace..."

"I know this!"

"Hey, young man, be patient. I haven't finished yet!"

"I just happened to hear what the two eunuchs said. They said that Marquis Jingyang was so lucky to have so many beauties. No wonder the imperial physician said that he fainted because he was too tired!"

"Another eunuch said, why don't you say that it was the Minister of Revenue who wanted to charge Marquis Jingyang with favoring his concubine and killing his wife, and that Marquis Jingyang was so angry that he fainted?"

The little beggar next to him curled his lips and said, "What do you mean I just happened to hear it? Are you secretly following them?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, I just happened to hear it."

The corners of Shen Qiu's mouth curled up wildly. Isn't the information easy to get?

When he heard that Marquis Jingyang had fainted, he thought he had been poisoned. It turned out that he had fainted because he was too tired and was angered by someone.

As expected, if you have a good relationship with beggars, you can get all kinds of information!

In the end, Shen Qiu acted cautiously and gave the beggar some hush money.

"Can you help me keep an eye on the news from Jingyang Marquis Mansion in the future? Don't worry, there will be corresponding rewards."

Shen Qiu patted his waist bag and gave the beggars a look.

After hearing this, the beggars were ecstatic and nodded in agreement without hesitation. You know, they usually listened to this information for fun, but they didn't expect that they could make money from it!

Shen Qiu is such a good person!

Gathering information is their specialty, isn't it similar to those vendors who sell things with their skills?

They all make money based on their own abilities!

"Don't worry, wait for us to go find out the news, and we'll tell you everything."

Shen Qiu felt that he was very smart. If he had not lived and ate with the beggars for the past few days, how could they trust him?

"It's a pity that we can't get into Marquis Jingyang's mansion, otherwise wouldn't the information we heard be accurate?" The beggar sighed.

But this sentence gave Shen Qiu an inspiration. Just because they couldn't get in, it didn't mean he couldn't get in!

Shen Qiu hurriedly said goodbye to the beggars and trotted all the way to the back door of Jingyang Marquis' Mansion.

Then he watched intently to see if any servant came out of the back door.

Shen Qiu was very patient and waited until the sun set before a servant came out.

He immediately followed the servant quietly, and when the servant walked to the corner, he punched him hard.

Shen Qiu tore off the servant's clothes, put them on himself, then stood up and clapped his hands.

It's not like he left nothing for the servant. At least he gave the servant his coat, so the servant shouldn't catch a cold lying on the ground.

Forget it, forget it.

It is more important to go to Jingyang Marquis’ Mansion to get information!

Shen Qiu carefully pushed open the back door of Jingyang Marquis' Mansion. Fortunately, no servants passed by, otherwise they would have come forward to question Shen Qiu immediately after seeing his sneaky look.

He controlled the expression on his face, trying not to show his confusion.

But after walking for a while, Shen Qiu stopped and found that he seemed to be lost in Jingyang Marquis Mansion!

Shen Qiu was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

He could only walk around, hoping to meet a servant or maid who could lead the way for him.

He walked around for a long time and finally saw a maid walking in one direction.

He hurriedly followed, and as he walked, the number of servants around him began to increase.

This also means that Shen Qiu has arrived at the center of Jingyang Marquis Mansion.

Shen Qiu became more cautious, observing the other servants' every move, not daring to make any mistakes.

You know, this is as dangerous as following the prime minister. We have already come to his base camp. It will be terrible if we are discovered!

At this time, the eldest lady didn't know that he had sneaked into Jingyang Marquis' Mansion to gather information!
