Drunken and faintly dreaming

From "Little Pigu", Shen Gong spent two taels of gold to find out the exact information about Ni Ying. However, due to the huge difference in status between the two parties, he did not dare to go and recognize each other rashly. How should he let Ni Ying know? Are you already here? After tossing and turning all night, Shen Gong finally came up with a good idea just before dawn.

The next day, he was still wearing a brown robe and went for a walk around Yu Duoxun's mansion. Shen Gong discovered that there was a corner door on the side of You's mansion facing the back street, and the security there was even tighter than the front door—— As expected, this corner gate should be the entrance to Xianning Palace.

Shen Gong glanced at the other side of the street and found that the doors of all the houses had been changed, and none of them had their doors facing this side. Obviously, this was required by the palace regulations, and it also made management easier.

Since there was no way to get involved in a nearby place, he had no choice but to look far away. Shen Gong saw a small shop selling shoes at the corner of the street, so he strolled in and chatted with the shop owner. At this moment , a small donkey cart loaded with fruits passed in front of the store. The man driving the cart was dark and thin, and he looked like he was a country boy.

The shop owner pouted at the fruit cart disapprovingly and said, "Wow, one person really has achieved enlightenment, and chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven!"

"Oh? What about this?" Shen Gong suddenly became curious.

"Sir, you don't know that the master in the palace over there is from Jiaxing." He licked his lips and continued with interest: "This country bumpkin delivering fruits is also from the countryside of Jiaxing. If you become a relative of the emperor—isn’t that right? You’ll become an emperor’s official!”

"Oh, so that's it..." Shen Gong accidentally heard the news and couldn't help but immediately make some small calculations in his mind.

He chatted with the owner of the shoe store about "dry weather" all the time, and waited until the donkey cart drove back - when it passed the front of the store again. Shen Gong rushed over in a few steps, and immediately Chatted with Zhong Aquan enthusiastically...

Zhong Aquan, who is dark and thin, is very simple and kind-hearted. When he learned that Shen Gong was a cousin of the Ni family in Jiaxing during the conversation, he immediately regarded the person he met for the first time as a fellow villager. The two of them were talking. The intersection lies in the Ni family, and naturally we talked about Ni Ying, the current Princess of Xianning, and Zhong Aquan's benefactor Liu Xingchui.

Only then did Shen Gong know that after Liu Xingchui got into trouble at the South City Gate, he actually hid in Xianning Palace and was taken in by the kind-hearted Ni Ying. As for Liu Xingchui, Shen Gong felt that he should not have much power in the city. , but why did you get lucky by accident and catch up with the current princess? Behind this... there must be something fishy, ​​right?

Something is wrong! Shen Gong relied on his intuition and felt that there should be some secrets hidden behind the fact that Liu Xingchui stayed in Xianning Palace. Although in the "Three Pifu" charity society, everyone was well-known and righteous. Good guys, but don't forget: they all obey the orders of one person - Gu Qingwen.

Shen Gong has never dealt with Gu Qingbian directly, but judging from some side information, Gutou has always done things in a shady way, making people feel that he is always doing some tricks secretly. ... Now, he sent his eldest disciple to Xianning Palace as an undercover agent, and his purpose must be related to Ni Ying - thinking of this, Shen Gong suddenly felt a lot of cold sweat breaking out on his back!

Since the other party came prepared, Shen Gong felt that it was not appropriate for him to meet Ni Ying directly with his original appearance - perhaps, he could consider changing his outfit? So, which outfit should he change into? Each one may be suitable. The image of , all of a sudden went through Shen Gong's mind...

Suddenly, an image of a character he had just met recently jumped out - Xijianzi! Yes, that's him - "Yi Jiang" who had been a nurse in the Ni family earlier. Let's use this person's outfit, just So decided.

After returning to Taoranju Inn, Shen Gong used the art of disguise to disguise himself as "Yi Jiang" in his room. He no longer followed the same path Liu Xingchui took to enter the palace, but instead looked for an opportunity to "be hired" to enter. After arriving at Youfu, he first became a minor nurse in the mansion.

"Yi Jiang", the little nurse in the nursing home, was smart and hard-working, and he soon became favored by You Duoxun. In order to strengthen the supervision of "canary" Mo Li'er, You Duoxun asked Yi Jiang to be Little Mo. 's personal attendant.

Shen Gong discovered that Mo Li'er was a cold-hearted person with a very thoughtful mind - which was far different from his loose and muddled image on the surface. Mo Li'er was kept in captivity in the backyard of the mansion by Yu Duoxun. All he does here is wander around the yard and raise birds.

Perhaps in retaliation for Yudosun's personal restrictions on him, Mo Lier spent a lot of money (to Lao You's account of course) to buy many rare birds and played with them happily every day. He There is a super large bird room, where many wooden shelves are placed on top of each other to store a large number of bird cages that are collected at night.

Every morning, Mo Li'er had to move out all the birdcages and hang them on nearby trees. His "work" was both hard and complicated and very demanding. If he hadn't been particularly interested in playing with birds - That's really not what people want to do.

After becoming "Boss Mo"'s follower, Shen Gong had to serve those "noble birds" every day, moving a large number of birdcages out in the morning, and collecting many birdcages back into the house in the evening... "moving" for several days and nights. After coming down, Shen Gong was keenly aware of something worth noting - the bird cage numbered 11, which Mo Li'er had never allowed him to get his hands on!

The bird cage marked with the serial number "11" was covered with a layer of black gauze. Only the shadow of a bird could be seen - as for what kind of bird it was, no one knew. Maybe. Some people would say that it can also be distinguished from the sounds of birds... However, in fact, in a group of dozens or hundreds of birds, it is indeed difficult to clearly hear the call of one bird. .

In this way, Shen Gong, who transformed into "Yi Jiang", "helped" Mo Li'er for several days, but still could not get any valuable information. However, the hard work paid off, and on the night of the fifth day, "Yi Jiang" "Jiang" finally happened upon him by luck - a scene worthy of claiming credit from Mr. You...
