Gu Shangqing led the horse to a stop, and pulled Li Mumu to a stop as well.

After a while, when the boy came out of the shed, Gu Shangqing pulled Li Mumu over, tied the horse outside the shed, and said to Li Mumu: "Will you wait for me inside for a while, or go home first? "

Li Mumu guessed Gu Shangqing's plan and said, "I'm waiting for you in the shed. I happen to have something to ask my buddy."

"Okay." Gu Shangqing nodded and followed the direction in which the boy left.

Li Mumu entered the shed.

"Mrs. Gu." The clerk at the registration point stood up quickly when he saw Li Mumu.

Except for Xu Changyong, Yu Dabin, Tan Shiyi and Cheng Jifu, they were the most seriously injured.

The other soldiers still did not hinder their walking.

"Sit down quickly, there is no need to be polite to me." Li Mumu said, "What does the boy who just came in want to buy?"

"Yes, he asked the waiter to come back and buy him two bottles of wine, a plate of fried crispy pork, a plate of tofu mixed with green onions, a plate of hand-caught mutton, and a plate of fried peanuts. Moreover, it was to be secretly sent to the Su Mansion Back door, when you knock on the door, two are long, one is short and two are long.”

Li Mumu: "..."

It sounds like a servant of the Su Mansion sneaked out to buy some food and drinks.

After a while, Gu Shangqing also came back.

"What's wrong?" Li Mumu asked.

Gu Shangqing smiled, "It's true that we were too careful this time. The boy just came quietly to order the food and asked the waiter to secretly deliver it to him. He came out secretly without telling the government, and wanted to spend the night with some friends in the government. After that, they gathered together to drink, eat meat and chat. It was too late for them to use the kitchen in the mansion. Even if they could use it, they would have to prepare food for the cook, and the taste would not necessarily be good. Since it was also spending money, it didn't matter. It’s better to just buy it from a restaurant outside, it’s more delicious.”

"In the past, there were no errands to help them buy things for them. They couldn't leave the house at will. They could only ask the cook to cook something for them during the day and leave it until the evening. Or depending on who was out of the house, they could ask someone to buy some braised pork and the like, and they would cook it in the evening. A dish to go with wine.”

"I heard that an errand shop was opened today and there was a registration point nearby, so I took cover with someone and came out quietly. I quickly registered and went back."

Li Mumu was surprised: "You just followed me for a while and you know so many things?"

"This matter is not difficult to check." Gu Shangqing said with a smile.

The two of them then returned to Gu's house.

Li Mumu thought about how the boy from the Su Mansion secretly went to the registration point to let the waiter run errands to buy food and drinks, so he sent messages to Li Zhiyin, Mrs. Shang and Min Huilan, asking them if they had time to come to Wangyou to have a rest tomorrow.

All three can reply.

So on the next day, Li Mumu went to Wangyou's third-floor wing at the agreed time.

Li Mumu arrived first, and not long after, Li Zhiyin and three others also arrived.

"I haven't congratulated you yet. I heard that the errand shop just opened yesterday and business was very prosperous." Li Zhiyin said with a smile. "It's all the common people who support us. They feel sorry for our Daxi soldiers." Li Mumu sighed, "It's only the past two days of excitement. It is estimated that things will return to normal starting from tomorrow. There will still be customers coming to the door. But it won’t be as overwhelming as yesterday.”

"However, I asked you out this time because of the errand shop." Li Mumu said directly.

"But is there anything you need our help with?" Mrs. Shang asked with a smile.

"Exactly." Li Mumu asked with a smile, "When I went home yesterday, I saw the boy from Magistrate Su's family also sneaking out and went to the nearby registration point to ask the waiter to buy some food and wine. And he also told him to go Sent to the back door of Su's house, when he knocked on the door, there were two long ones, one short one and two long ones."

Li Zhiyin twitched the corner of his mouth, "I'm very cautious."

"My husband went to check it out. It turns out he is a servant in their house. When he has free time, he will meet up with his friends to eat, drink, chat and relax." Li Mumu said, and she related what Gu Shangqing said to her. I talked to Li Zhiyin and the other three.

"I thought, if the Su family is like this, then most of the servants from big families are like this." Li Mumu said, "So today I asked them to sort out yesterday's registration list and look at it. Sure enough, many of them have to be sent to various places. Went to the back door of the house."

Min Huilan's eyes lit up, "Do I have any in my house?"

"You all have some in your house." Li Mumu said, "I don't know your attitude towards this kind of thing, but..."

"I don't care." Li Zhiyin said, "Their identities are all in the house. If they really want to do anything to betray the house, it is useless to strictly monitor them. Some behaviors that are not too excessive don't need to be controlled. Too strict."

"Yes, now that they can sneak out of the house, it means this is not the first time they have done this." Mrs. Shang said, "Such a thing has happened before, and it will not be stopped in the future. It's just that this time because of the incident at the errand shop, they were People just saw it.”

Min Huilan nodded, "That's good. At least we know that they are going to an errand shop, and we all know it. It is better than them going to a place that we don't know and doing something wrong again."

"Besides, your errand shop can actually provide us with a convenience." Li Zhiyin said, "If you want to know what they usually buy, you can find out from you, and you can naturally deduce what they are used for. .”

"This is a good idea." Mrs. Shang's eyes lit up.

Li Mumu has some more ideas. Maybe the errand shop will be of great use in the future.

But he didn't want to think too deeply now, so he smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem. If they really did something bad, I can provide evidence here."

Li Zhiyin and others nodded, and Li Mumu said: "I want to ask for your opinion, because I saw the servants from each government coming out to secretly run errands, which reminded me, can I set up one near the back door of each government? Registration point. It is convenient for people from all over the government to register without having to go far."

"It also prevents them from having to sneak out and let others watch them, and worry about being discovered when they come out." Li Mumu said, "And the heads of the various mansions are also worried that they go out secretly and go far without knowing what to do. What."

"It would be better if I put the registration point at the back door, so that the servants can't go far and the master knows what they have done. If they go far away behind the master's back, then they need to check carefully. "Li Mumu said, "Achieve two birds with one stone."

"What do you think?" Li Mumu asked, "I just want to ask you if you are happy for me to let you go to the registration point. If you are not happy, I will not let you go there."

But other people still have to let it go.

The three of them expressed no objection.

"As you said, even if we don't set up a registration point at our door, the servants will go out to look for it if they want to. In this case, it is better to put it at the door to prevent them from walking away. If they sneak away in the future, If we don't find it, we can just return it. If we find it, we can check it out." Li Zhiyin said.
