Chapter 393 Clues
Only that guest kept asking what ingredients were used in the skewers at the palace banquet, which was obviously different from other guests.
It would only be enough to ask once or twice, but that person seemed to be very persistent in hearing the answer from his mouth.
As if there is some conspiracy.
Although the shopkeeper didn't know the saint's plan, he was keenly aware of the abnormality of the guest downstairs.
"Ask the store clerk to keep an eye on that person." Li Mumu said.
The guest had just come in and the food hadn't been served yet.
If he left now, it would arouse suspicion.
Li Mumu guessed that the other party would not leave so soon, so she said to the shopkeeper: "Send someone to call the shopkeeper of the errand shop next to you."
"Yes." The shopkeeper responded and left.
Li Mumu said to Gu Mian, "Gu Mian, you and the coachman go back to Gu's house, fetch Xiuxiu, and ask her to bring the pen and ink and paper for painting."
"Yes." Gu Mian also hurried over.
Liu Lu, the shopkeeper of the errand shop next door, arrived first. Li Mumu said, "When you came in, did any of the customers outside notice you?"
The shopkeeper also returned from the army.
Because my family lived in Beijing, I joined an errand shop in Beijing.
He was a man of good ability, so he became the shopkeeper.
Liu Lu recalled it carefully, and the scene when he just entered came to mind.
Then, he shook his head and said: "Not really."
"Downstairs, on the left side of the entrance, against the wall, there is the third table from the entrance. Sitting there is a man wearing a blue cloth coat and a gray scarf. He looks to be in his thirties, with two mustaches on his lips. Li Mumu said, "You can identify him carefully in a while, but don't let him be discovered. I will give you a portrait and ask the guys to identify him. Follow him and find out where he lives." What name. Don’t let anyone discover it.”
Errand shop workers are the least noticeable group of people as they are running around on the streets all day long.
Because people can see them on the street from morning to night every day, and the most eye-catching ones are the least eye-catching ones.
They deliver goods every day, and even in remote alleys there are errand boys.
Moreover, there are many errand boys in the errand shop. It is not necessary for one boy to follow you all the time, but different boys can rotate.
In this way, you can follow the other party, and it will not be easy for the other party to notice that you are being followed.
Even, no special tracking is required.
There are errand boys all over the city. If anyone sees him, just write it down.
"Yes." Liu Lu responded.
Not long after, Gu Xiuxiu arrived.
"Third Aunt." Gu Xiuxiu came in and called after closing the door.
Along the way, Gu Mian told Gu Xiuxiu the general situation.
The Gu family also didn't know the saint's plan.
Gu Mian didn't know either.
But Gu Mian knew that the guest had bad intentions, so he told Gu Xiuxiu.
Gu Xiuxiu cautiously entered the room and closed the door before speaking.
"Did you just see the guest downstairs?" Li Mumu asked.
"I took a quick glance, but didn't dare to take a closer look, for fear of being seen by the other party." Gu Xiuxiu said.
Li Mumu nodded and said, "Just have a rough impression. I'll tell you the important characteristics of that person in detail, and you can draw a picture." "Okay." Gu Xiuxiu laid out the drawing paper.
Gu Mian took the paperweight from her arms and started to polish Gu Xiuxiu's ink.
Gu Xiuxiu first drew a rough outline, drew some from her own memory, and then added based on Li Mumu's description.
When the painting was finished, Li Mumu nodded, "It's already 70% similar enough for people to recognize it."
"Xiuxiu, are you ready for dinner?" Li Mumu asked.
"Not yet. When I came out, the kitchen had just started cooking." Gu Xiuxiu said.
"Then how about eating with me here?" Li Mumu asked.
"Okay!" Gu Xiuxiu likes to stay with Li Mumu, "I just want to eat skewers too."
It's dinner time now, and a barbecue grill has been set up outside.
Li Mumu asked the shopkeeper for a pen and paper, wrote down her findings, put the letter into an envelope, sealed it with wax, and handed it to Liu Lu, who was still here, "Please give the portrait to the shop." Guys, tell them to pay attention to this person’s final destination. Send this letter to General Gu at the eastern suburbs camp.”
The East Suburb Camp has been conducting military training these days, so Gu Shangqing cannot go home every day like he did in the past few days.
"Yes." Liu Lu took the portrait and letter and hurried to get it done.
Liu Lu first took the portrait back to the errand shop and asked everyone to look at it. Then he had the portrait sent to various errand shops in the capital so that everyone could recognize him.
Then he hurried to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing with the letter.
After Gu Shangqing received the letter, he went to see the prince in person and told the matter.
"My wife dare not send someone directly to the East Palace for fear of being discovered." Gu Shangqing said, "This person is a bit suspicious. My wife is sending an errand boy to check his whereabouts. Once found, she will report to His Highness. "
The prince nodded, received the letter from Gu Shangqing, and came to see him again. At this moment, the man should have left the Gu family for snacks.
Now it's too late for the prince to send someone to follow him.
Once the other party's whereabouts are found, the prince can send someone to carefully investigate whether the person is suspected.
"The restaurant run by Mrs. Gu can indeed pay attention to more people." The prince said, "When Gu and the Saint are in the palace, many people and things will not be noticed."
"I just happened to meet him today." Gu Shangqing said, "These days, Chen's wife has been paying attention to the restaurant every day, thinking that she might encounter someone suspicious."
"When this comes to an end, rewards will be given based on merit." The prince said with a smile, "I'm afraid Mrs. Gu will be sealed faster than you."
"I am willing to rely on my wife to support me." Gu Shangqing said with a smile, "After all, from the beginning, I was not promoted as fast as my wife."
"If a woman can enter the court as an official, the wife's official position will be higher than that of the minister." Gu Shangqing said.
"No wonder Mrs. Gu risked her life to go to the border to rescue General Gu." The prince said, "General Gu is so supportive of his wife and doesn't care that his wife's achievements are higher than his own. At least I have never seen him before."
"General Gu's magnanimity alone is unparalleled by others. With this magnanimity, his future achievements will be limitless," the prince said.
"Your Highness is ridiculous." Gu Shangqing said quickly.
"General Gu, do you want to rush back to the military camp?" the prince said, "If you are not in a hurry, you might as well have a meal in the East Palace before leaving. There happen to be some details that I can discuss with General Gu."
There are also some things that just make Gu Shangqing cooperate.
"Then I would rather be respectful than obey your orders." Gu Shangqing said.
Since the palace's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet included the Gu family's skewers, after the news spread, the Gu family's snacks and Wangyou Xiao's business became even better.
Needless to say, it is packed every day, and many people want to try it even if they queue up outside.
