Fu Mingrui looked at Fu Mingsu and said, "Let's not talk about ghosts. I just want to know if the case of the prince stealing the cup was really done by a ghost?"
Ghost? Yi Jixuan paid attention to Fu Mingrui's words again. Why would the master of the Eight Gates mention ghosts? Yi Jixuan felt strange because he thought that a place like the Eight Gates would not believe in ghosts and monsters. People in the government did not believe in ghosts and gods.
Therefore, he felt strange when he heard Fu Mingrui say this. And in Fu Mingrui's words, the one who was related to this spirit was exactly that Jiumen Lian Youyou
This made Yi Jixuan even more curious about the Jiumen and Lian Youyou.
What exactly does the Nine Gates do
Why did Lian Youyou dare to make such a promise back then? She told him that if he encountered a ghost, he could go to Jiumen to find her
"Ah..." Fu Mingsu sighed, shook his head, and looked at Fu Mingrui, "The prince and the little prince were fooled by Lian Youyou. Not only were they cheated of money, but the prince still believes that he has the third eye." Fu Mingsu couldn't help laughing at the end. Seeing the suspicious looks of Fu Mingrui and Yi Jixuan, he smiled and said, "There is a knife at the entrance of the Nine Gates. Whoever enters will be killed. Every knife will draw blood. It's cruel and vicious!"
Fu Mingrui paused slightly. This is... Another one who was killed by Lian Youyou? He was well aware of Lian Youyou's sharp "knife". If it weren't for the rich man Duanmu Qingchen, he would not have been able to pay the 50,000 taels until now. I don't know how much silver the young prince was cheated of this time. Based on his understanding of Lian Youyou, it could not be less than 10,000 taels.
As Fu Mingsui walked, he told the curious Fu Mingrui and the confused Yi Jixuan in detail about the villain who stole King Kang's luminous cup. To the others, it was just a novel story.
Who would have thought that someone would train a mouse to steal things and dress him up as a human? However, Fu Mingsuo did not tell about some of the details, such as the strange things that happened to the little prince when he was thrown into Fu Mingsuo's care.
“Strange, really strange!” Although there was nothing weird about this, Yi Jixuan stopped and found it strange. Lian Youyou, who could solve this case, was even more amazing. He couldn’t help but look at Fu Mingri who was thinking deeply, “So… these nine gates are the same as your eight gates, Mingrui, to solve cases? Some difficult and complicated cases?” When they arrived at the gate of the prime minister’s residence, Yi Jixuan also heard the story and looked at Fu Mingrui, “Mingrui, they are trying to steal your business. Hahaha.”
Fu Mingrui wanted to say something, but gave up and looked at Yi Jixuan with a smile: "Brother-in-law, please come in."
Yi Jixuan lowered his sharp eyes and noticed that Fu Mingrui was hiding something about the Nine Gates and Lian Youyou. Perhaps, it was just that the man didn't want to talk too much about the woman he liked, and Yi Jixuan was overthinking it.
After listening to Fu Mingsu's words, Fu Mingrui felt that there were some details missing, perhaps something his elder brother didn't know. Although there were no monsters in this case, Lian Youyou did not use ordinary methods to solve the case.
Because even if this case fell into Fu Mingrui's hands, he would not be able to immediately deduce that it was the mouse and the crow that stole the cup. And from what Fu Mingsu said, Lian Youyou must have known it long ago, so she followed the clues and found the cup thief Hua Wuyang.
But how did Lian Youyou get to that vine? Fu Mingrui was puzzled. Therefore, he concluded that Lian Youyou must have used an "inhuman" method to catch someone in such a short time.
And in this whole case, there is another key person: Yun Xi.
Fu Mingrui had been dealing with Lian Youyou for so long that he knew that there must be a reason why she brought people with her, such as when he wanted to see a ghost, Lian Youyou brought Lettuce. So in this cup theft case, Yun Xi must have some magical ability, so Lian Youyou brought him with her.
This is Fu Mingrui. When Fu Mingsu finished telling the story of the cup theft, Yi Jixuan thought it was just a story, but Fu Mingrui analyzed every word of Fu Mingsu as a confession. What Fu Mingsu said here did not solve the doubts in his heart, but made him more curious.
He wanted to know what abilities Yun Xi had and how Lian Youyou had found the vine. He would have to climb the wall to find Lian Youyou when he got back to the Eight Gates.
Yi Jilan had already come out to greet them. Yi Jixuan saw them and immediately went to greet his second sister. The siblings had not seen each other for a long time and missed each other very much. Especially the addition of Yi Jilan.
Fu Mingsu was about to go in when Fu Mingrui stopped him and said, "Brother, I want to tell you something private."
Fu Mingsui looked at Fu Mingrui. Fu Mingrui raised the scroll in his hand, his eyes deep, and motioned Fu Mingsui to take a look.
Fu Mingsu's eyes fell on the scroll. The mounting technique and appearance of the scroll looked familiar to him. Suddenly, he remembered something and looked surprised.
In the study, Fu Mingrui opened the painting. Fu Mingsu looked at it in surprise: "This, this is not "Aomei Tu"? How come it is in your hands? Lord Wang Yi..." Fu Mingsu looked puzzled. Did Wang Yi return the painting? But he couldn't return it to Fu Mingrui.
Fu Mingrui's face darkened: "Brother, Wang Yi is missing."
"What?!" Fu Mingsu exclaimed, looking confused, "Why did he disappear?"
Fu Mingrui pointed at the painting on the table and said, "You sold this painting to Wang Yi. I just want to ask if Wang Yi's disappearance has anything to do with you and your father."
"Of course not!" Fu Mingrui said seriously, "After Wang Yi bought the painting, he has been working as a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, and we have no more contact."
Fu Mingrui stared into Fu Mingsu's eyes for a moment, confirming that his elder brother had not concealed anything, and nodded: "Then I feel relieved."
"Hiss... This Wang Yi! What the hell is going on?!" Fu Mingsu was very annoyed by Wang Yi's disappearance. "Father arranged for him to enter the Ministry of Revenue to take over the position of Left Vice Minister, so that the Ministry of Revenue would not be monopolized by the Right Prime Minister! He suddenly disappeared, which really ruined father's plan!"
After Fu Mingsu's scolding, Fu Mingrui knew that Wang Yi was a pawn and spy that his father wanted to plant in the Ministry of Revenue. He also believed that his elder brother and father had nothing to do with Wang Yi's disappearance. Because since Wang Yi was an important pawn, his sudden disappearance would be very disadvantageous to them. It was not easy to plant another person in the Ministry of Revenue.
"Will it be in a brothel?" Fu Mingsu asked with a serious face. Fu Mingsu knew the behavior of some officials in the capital.
"I have sent someone to investigate, but brother, I want to know everything about this painting." Fu Mingrui pointed to the "Aomei Tu" on the table.
As the sky gradually darkened, the "Aomei Tu" was still bright in the twilight of dusk.
Fu Mingrui looked at the painting on the table. The colors were bright and eye-catching. What surprised him was that the colors of this painting were even brighter than when he sold it to Wang Yi. It was like a new work yesterday. This made him wonder if it was a fake. (To be continued)
