At this time, on the other side——

Prince Qing and Chu Yao came to Xiaoer's old home. It was a large house, which looked about the same size as Qing Mansion from the outside, and it was also written with Li Mansion on it.

"Wow, if he grows up a bit, he will almost be as rich as Prince Yun's Mansion. Is this family quite wealthy?"

Chu Yao said with emotion.

"This has already caught up with the Qing Palace."

King Qing couldn't help but sigh.

After the two sighed, the attendant of King Qing, Xiao Wang, came forward and knocked on the door. After a while, a servant came to open the door. He stuck his head out to look at the clothes of King Qing and Chu Yao, asked them to wait outside the door for a while, and turned around to report. After a while, a woman dressed "luxuriously" appeared at the door.

She was dressed in brocade, with gold and silver on her head, and her figure was a little bloated. She looked like a merchant's wife. From her clothes, one could tell that she was rich, but it didn't seem like she knew any etiquette.

"Who are you..."

Her voice was quite loud at first, but when she saw Chu Yao's face, she swallowed the rest of the words and lowered her voice.

Xiao Wang couldn't bear to look at her expression and spoke loudly.

"This is His Royal Highness Prince Qing, why don't you greet him?!"

The fat woman was stunned when she heard it, and finally she covered her mouth and laughed artificially.

"Your Highness Prince Qing? Why would His Highness Prince Qing come to visit us, a small family like ours?"

The little prince was even more angry after hearing this. She actually dared to say that His Royal Highness Prince Qing was here to visit them!

Prince Qing stopped the little prince who was about to get angry, took a step forward, and was about to say a few polite words when he was interrupted by the woman.

"Let him say it!"

The woman pointed at Chu Yao, and then twisted her body twice in a coquettish manner. Chu Yao pointed at himself in disbelief.

"I?"

"Hmm~"

Chu Yao curled his lips, and his temper suddenly flared up.

"This is Prince Qing, and I am Prince Yun. Just the way you pointed at me is already a capital crime. Kneel down and admit your mistake!"

Chu Yao imitated Xiao Zuochen's usual behavior and put one hand behind his back. The Qing prince beside him raised his eyebrows and looked at him, not believing that he actually pretended to be Xiao Zuochen. He didn't know how his brother would react after hearing it.

But when the woman heard him say that he was the King of Yun, she really believed him. Everyone said that the King of Yun was handsome. Although the man in front of her was not beautiful, he was definitely handsome, so she believed his words. But she did not feel scared. Instead, she walked directly to Chu Yao and bowed in a pretentious manner. However, King Qing knew from her actions that she had not learned etiquette. Her imitation was really ugly.

"Your Highness Prince Yun is visiting my humble home. I am sorry for not coming to greet you in person. Please forgive me."

Ugh~ Chu Yao suppressed his nausea and swallowed down a mouthful of saliva. With her weight, she is still a young woman?

"It's okay, it's okay, just take me in quickly, we still need to ask your boss some questions."

"Okay! Please come with me!"

The woman led the way, and the three Qing Wangs followed her. Soon they arrived at the front hall. There were already a few men sitting there, drinking tea and chatting. They were slightly surprised to see the woman leading three strange men in.

"Xiu'er, these three..."

The leading man asked first. He had a graying beard and looked to be over fifty years old.

"Uncle San, this is His Royal Highness Prince Yun."

The woman named Xiu'er did not introduce the King of Qing, but only mentioned Chu Yao. Seeing this, Chu Yao added.

"King Qing, King Yun."

They looked at the two men in front of them, who were indeed dressed in extraordinary clothes, and did not have too many doubts. They all knew that Prince Yun was the emperor's favorite son. Although Prince Qing was not favored, it was said that he had helped the emperor do some things recently. But why did these two people come to their house?

The man called Third Uncle asked the two guests to sit down and asked them why they came.

"My men were here yesterday. You should know that the purpose of our visit today is to investigate the case of Wang Ming's disappearance ten years ago."

Wang Ming is the waiter.

"But my subordinates reported yesterday that you asked her for ten taels of gold before she was willing to reveal some information, so I came here today to ask if this is true. After all, if you affect the government's investigation, you will go to jail!"

Chu Yao said Zhen Luo was his subordinate, and he didn't know the laws of Tai'an. Anyway, he was the best at talking nonsense. King Qing also knew that he was talking nonsense, but it seemed to have some effect, so he just let him go.

Uncle San couldn't sit still when he heard this. This happened yesterday, but they didn't think too much about it at the time. They just wanted to take the opportunity to make some money. At this time, the man on the right spoke.

"My two princes, you are here to investigate the case, so we civilians should cooperate. But you know it is not easy for us civilians to make money and live. If we want to cooperate, it takes time, and this time is supposed to be used to make money! You said this...we have to live too~"

"I understand. It's just ten taels of gold. I won't argue with you. But I need to make sure that these ten taels of gold can definitely bring me the information I want."

"So, how do you need us to cooperate?"

"Talk about clues first, then pay the money."

"this..."

The other men looked at Uncle San and decided that it was Uncle San who should make the decision.

"We know that these ten taels of gold are nothing to Prince Yun, but it is a considerable sum for us ordinary people. Your Highness Prince Yun, how about we sign a written agreement first?"

"it is good!"

Chu Yao readily agreed. His uncle sent someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Chu Yao immediately wrote down the document.

Prince Qing on the side did not stop him. After all, the document was not written by Xiao Zuochen. If he wanted to give it, he could give it. If he didn't want to give it, he could just cheat.

"Good! Your Highness Prince Yun is really straightforward!"

The man on the right started to brag about Chu Yao after getting the document, and Chu Yao also pretended to be proud. In the end, according to the plan, he and King Qing interrogated different people separately. Originally, he didn't plan to ask the woman named Xiu'er, but the woman insisted on Chu Yao.

"Your Highness, King Yun~"

Just as Chu Yao was waiting for the next person to be questioned to enter the room, Xiu'er opened the door, slipped in, then turned around and immediately closed the door.

"How did you come?"

Chu Yao was somewhat incredulous and even a little frightened. Looking at her posture, it seemed as if she was going to "eat him alive".

"Your Highness, what do you think this is?"

Xiu'er shook the note in her hand. It was the note that Chu Yao had just written, and it somehow appeared in Xiu'er's hand.

"Is there a problem?"

Chu Yao asked.

"Your Highness Prince Yun, let's make a deal~"

"What deal?"

"If you accept me, I'll give you the note, how about that?"

Puff——Chu Yao almost vomited blood. He waved his hands hurriedly.

"This king doesn't need these ten ounces of gold."

"Let's discuss it, Your Highness. I still have a lot of dowry. When I get married, it will all be yours."

Xiu'er said this as she was about to attack Chu Yao.

Chu Yaoxin was originally resistant. Although he pretended to be the King of Yun, Xiu'er's behavior made him want to vomit. Just as he was thinking about why he had to suffer such a crime, he suddenly had an idea and came up with a bad idea.

"How much is your dowry?"

When Xiu'er heard him ask this, she was stunned at first, then she thought there was hope, and she couldn't help but move closer.

"I have two shops in the eastern suburbs and two shops in the western suburbs. If I pass through your house, all four shops will be yours. You can use them for whatever you want."

"Okay, okay, stand still first! Wait until I'm done with this, then you can go to Prince Yun's Mansion and talk."

"Do you agree?"

"We'll talk about it later! Don't delay my inquiry."

"Hey~ It's no use asking them, why don't you ask me~"

"I can tell you~ but tonight..."
