Chapter 907: The defeated country

"So, was there any strange people passing by during the time when Wang Er left?" Su Hao frowned and asked him.

"The strange person doesn't seem to be..." Zhou Xingwen pondered, recalling the passersby who passed by that time that day. After a moment, he suddenly remembered something, "Ah, but a pair of beggars have come."

Su Hao looked at him in confusion: "Beggar?"

"Yes, Prince, there was a pair of beggars coming in that quarter of an hour. They were an old man and a child. They looked like grandparents. The old man came over and pestered me for money, saying that he hadn't eaten for many days, so he asked me to give him some charity."

Seeing that Su was interested, Zhou Xingwen continued to say, "The little beggar seemed to be very curious about the carriage and circled around for a while. I saw that he did not destroy it, so he did not scold him. Later, I was so annoyed by the old man that I gave him a few copper coins and sent him away."

His words immediately made Su Hao feel alert and intuition told her that there was something wrong with these two beggars.

It was just that day and that time passed by, why did the little beggar circling around the carriage? Is it really just because of curiosity?

"What do they look like?" Su Hao narrowed his eyes and his tone became cold.

"Best Prince, the old man is short, thin, with a goatee. The child is about five or six years old. He has a black birthmark on his left leg, which looks a bit like a plum blossom."

Zhou Xingwen was not sure why, and he didn't know why the prince seemed to care about these two beggars, but he still honestly told everything he knew.

After asking for a while, Su Hao saw that Zhou Xingwen could no longer ask any useful clues, so he asked him to push them down first because he had already provided considerable clues.

"I think there is something wrong with these two beggars." Su Hao sat upright at the desk and looked at Mo Fan and said.

"It's indeed suspicious." Mo Fan frowned slightly.

If it were just a beggar who passed by on weekdays, Su Hao would not be so concerned. Luoyang City is so big, and beggars are everywhere, and there is nothing to be surprised about.

But why did the two beggars pass by when they were just carrying Wang Er away? The old beggar kept pestering Zhou Xingwen, and it seemed like they were covering up the little beggar.

"With me out, I'm going to try my luck on the street to see if I can meet these two suspicious beggars." Su Hao ordered Mo Fan.

"Yes." Mo Fan followed Su Hao out.

After inquiring, Su Hao came to the street with the most beggars in Luoyang City. This is a gathering place for ordinary people in the city, crowded and noisy, and it is also a place where beggars occupy it.

The streets were very lively, with tea shops and restaurants soliciting customers, there were dumpling shops on the roadside, vendors selling rouge and water powder, artists who were doing acrobatics, and of course, there were also many beggars squatting on the roadside begging.

Along the way, Su Hao couldn't help feeling a little disappointed even though he didn't see the beggar who matched Zhou Xingwen's description.

Yes, the entire Luoyang City is so big, how could it be possible to just walk around and just meet the person you are looking for?

Just as Su Hao was planning to take Mo Fan back home, he walked to an alley and suddenly saw two beggars, one old and one young, in the corner. They were counting the copper plates on their bodies, and seemed to have gained a lot.

Su Hao stared at them and carefully looked at the two of them. The old man had a thin figure, a goatee, and a model of a five or six years old.

So, to facilitate begging, he rolled up his trouser legs, so Su Hao saw the black birthmark on his left leg.

These two people were the beggars who passed by the gate of Prince Jing’s mansion that day!

"Beware of it, don't let them run away." Su Hao handed Mo Fan a look and whispered.

"Yes." Mo Fan replied in a deep voice.

Then Su Hao and the others quietly approached the two beggars. The beggars were counting the copper plates happily, but Su Hao also heard them say something like "I made a big fortune a few days ago, and I don't have to go out to beg for a month later."

It was not until a shadow was overwhelming that the two of them noticed someone approaching, and then raised their heads to look at Su Hao and Mo Fan with alertness. Seeing that they didn't know, there was a little doubt on their faces.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" The old beggar stood in front of the little beggar, frowned and stared at Su Haokan with vigilance.

"I have something to ask you, so it's best to answer honestly." Su Hao snorted coldly.

The old beggar immediately cursed: "We have nothing to tell you, and we don't know each other, get out of here."

When Mo Fan heard his disrespectful tone, he frowned and scolded coldly: "Rareless! This is Prince Jing. If you say something disrespectful to the prince, be careful that I will cut your tongue!"

Although he knew that Su Hao was a fake King Jing, whether the entire King Jing Mansion could escape the disaster at present was entirely up to Su Hao, so he respected her as real King Jing.

Seeing Mo Fan preparing to pull out the sword around his waist, the two beggars were so scared that they shrank into the corner and shivered.

"Prince, please spare me. The young man did not deliberately offend the prince!" The old beggar hurriedly pulled the little beggar and kept kowtowing.

Su Hao frowned and deliberately scared them with a cold face: "Okay, I won't bother with you this time, but the questions I ask next must be honest. If you dare to have a lie, you will definitely not be spared."

"Yes, the young man dare not lie." The two men, the old man and the young, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did you pass by the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion a few days ago?" Su Hao asked coldly.

Hearing this, the old beggar's body was stiff. After hesitating for a few seconds, he replied in a low voice: "Yes, my grandson and I did pass there that day, but I just didn't eat because I was hungry for several days. When I saw that the young man on duty at the door should be a good person, I asked him for some copper coins."

"It's really just that? You went to the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion just to beg?" Su Hao narrowed his eyes, his tone a little dangerous.

"Yes...yes..." The old beggar grabbed the hem of his clothes with his fingers restlessly, his eyes drifting, and he didn't dare to look at Su Hao.

Su was a little angry. She turned around and pulled out the sword from Mo Fan's waist, and then sneered: "I said, don't lie."

After saying that, she held a cold sword and pointed directly at the old beggar's nose, as if she would cut off half of his nose with a sword.

"Prince, please spare me! In fact, someone instructed us to go to the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion that day!" The old beggar screamed suddenly, then crawled on the ground and begged for mercy. He was trembling.

The little beggar stared at Su Hao with wide eyes and looked at Su Hao in fear. Tears as big as beans were already hanging in his eyes. Originally, Su Hao didn't want to treat them so roughly, but when he saw that they were not honest and wanted to fool her, he couldn't help but feel angry.

"What did that man tell you to do?

What are your benefits? Say!" Su Hao's voice was already filled with anger.

"He asked us to loosen the wheels of the carriage parked in front of Prince Jing's Mansion, and gave us a ingot of silver in advance, and promised to give us another ingot of silver after the matter was completed." The old beggar's voice was trembling, and he honestly explained the matter.

Sure enough, someone was deliberately trying to murder Prince Jing behind his back, and Su Hao's speculation was verified.

"Do you know who that person is?" she asked in a deep voice, but she did not have any hope, because since that man wanted to harm King Jing, he would not reveal his identity to the two beggars.

"I don't know, but I remember clearly what that man looked like. He is eight feet tall, has a beard and a mole between his eyebrows. He is fierce and evil, so he doesn't look like he is easy to mess with."

Su Hao recorded the characteristics described by the beggar, and then looked at him with a sneer: "You are also very brave. You don't know who the other party dares to take on work. Are you not afraid that the other party will give you money to buy life?"

Hearing this, the old beggar's face turned pale, and only then did he realize his fear.

"While he hasn't killed you yet, go as far as you can. I don't want to see two more unknown corpses in the suburbs tomorrow." Su Hao threw down this sentence and took Mo Fan away.

Because according to the current situation, these two beggars could not know more clues. Whether they could survive depends on their luck. Su Hao did not want to help them. The last reminder was already the greatest kindness.

When King Jing had an accident, these two beggars were two indispensable pieces, but they were used to make wedding dresses for others without knowing it. Su didn't blame them and did not sympathize with them.

"What do you think that person is?" Su Hao asked Mo Fan.

Mo Fan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know yet, but maybe it's someone in the palace."

Su Hao nodded, she thought so too. King Jing’s power in Luoyang City should not be underestimated. Those who dare to attack him must have the power in the palace as their backers.

However, there are many people who are eyeing King Jing. Su Hao couldn't know who was doing it for a while, so he had to silently record the characteristics of the men provided by the beggar in his heart.

She felt a little disappointed and depressed, and was not in the mood to continue wandering the streets, so she took Mo Fan back to Prince Jing's Mansion.

Time flies, and it is the day to visit the envoy. Su Hao received the news in advance, and the three envoys came from different countries and arrived in Luoyang City at noon this day. At that time, Su Hao will be responsible for sending them safely into the palace.

A few days ago, Su Hao did a lot of preparations. Because she had to ride a horse and lead the army to welcome the envoy that day, she asked Mo Fan to teach her to ride a horse.

Although I couldn't master it in just a few days, Su Hao has learned the basic operation and can now ride it on the horse and will not fall down.

Su Hao took the army to clear the field one hour in advance, clearing out a road leading to the main entrance of the palace, so that no one could get in the way of walking on the road.

She rode a dark horse and took an elite army of more than 100 people to wait at the gate of Luoyang City. The sun was the most fierce at noon, and Su Hao was sweating a lot on his back, but there were actually many ordinary people around the street waiting to watch the fun.

Through the advance understanding, Su Hao knew that the three envoys who came to meet the saint this time were all defeated countries before, one of which was the barbarian country that Prince Jing personally went to suppress and defeat.
