Mr. Gu, who had finally brought down the two charming women, just breathed a sigh of relief when he caught a glimpse of two black shadows coming from the doorway out of the corner of his eye.
"Who!?" Mr. Gu was shocked and stood up suddenly. He held the dagger tightly in his hand and looked at the door warily.
"Master Gu." Ye Qiqi called him with a smile.
Master Gu was relieved when he saw that the people coming were Mo Hanqing and Ye Qiqi. He put away the dagger in his hand, saluted respectfully towards Mo Hanqing and said, "I have met your highness."
"Yes." Mo Hanqing responded lightly, then walked elegantly to the chair opposite Mr. Gu, sat down, glanced at the two fainted women on the table with a pair of deep eyes, and said in a cold voice Asked: "How??"
"Returning to Your Highness." Mr. Gu straightened up, frowned, and said with a hint of confusion in his voice: "The old minister asked these two women many questions tonight, but they all answered that, in the Drunken Immortal Tower, Since this period of time, no new people have arrived, and no one has disappeared. The ones who came out to pick up the guests are still the same women, no more and no less."
Mo Hanqing's delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly as he listened to his words. He pondered for a moment before whispering: "Really?"
"Exactly." Mr. Gu said towards his blessed body: "At first, I didn't believe it, thinking that they had colluded to deceive me. But before coming here, I checked the previous reports of Zuixian Tower. The list of personnel on file is indeed no different from what I saw today.”
"That is to say, there is nothing weird about this Zuixian Tower on the surface?" Mo Hanqing rubbed his chin with a long, white finger and muttered to himself in a low voice.
Ye Qiqi turned to look at him, then at Mr. Gu beside him, and couldn't help but said: "But Your Highness, when we came in from the back door of Zuixian Tower today, we clearly saw a carriage carrying a group of people. A girl."
"Yes." Mo Hanqing responded in a low voice, her dark jade-like eyes suddenly raised, staring at Ye Qiqi's fair and delicate face for a while, and asked: "Xiao Qi, what do you think about the girl today?" , why were you brought into Zuixian Tower?"
"I don't know." Ye Qiqi shook her head in confusion, and then said hesitantly: "But I think that girl... is dressed a bit like the beggars wandering outside the city."
"Beggars?" Mo Hanqing was startled. He had a noble status, so naturally he had never noticed what beggars looked like outside the capital.
"Yes." Ye Qiqi nodded firmly and said: "Before I entered the capital, I saw many beggars like this along the way. They were all dressed in rags, their faces were dirty, and their fingernails were full of dirt. They were dusty, the soles were almost worn out, and the toes were exposed."
After Master Gu thought for a moment, he looked at Ye Qiqi with some confusion and asked: "What do you mean, young hero, those unknown female corpses might have been beggars during their lifetime? But when those corpses were examined before, the old minister had observed that those The female corpse’s nails are very clean, and although her skin is not white and tender, it definitely doesn’t look like someone who has been begging outside all year round.”
"In the backyard of Zuixian Tower, we saw the woman the coachman brought back carefully wiping the dust on her face..."
