“You saved my life,” the beggar said hurriedly. “Ask away. If I know anything, I’ll tell you. I won’t hold any information back.”

“Thank you.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan nodded. Then, Jiang Yue asked calmly, “Why did Prince Xu’s Estate capture you?”.

“Because of a letter.” the beggar said. Then, he started motioning his hands in a rectangle. “Someone offered me two silver to deliver a letter. Who knew that I would bring trouble upon myself! If I had known that this would happen, I would never have sent this letter!”

“What letter?” Jiang Yue pulled the topic back.

“On the thirtieth of March…” The beggar immediately explained in detail. “A stranger gave me silver and asked me to send a letter to Prince Xu’s residence. He also asked me to wait until noon to deliver it. I agreed because… For obvious reasons. Then, at noon, I delivered the letter. At first, everything was the way it was. I returned to the roadside to beg for food. However, not long after noon, Prince Xu’s men came to arrest me and interrogated me about who asked me to deliver the letter. How would I know? I didn’t ask that person for a name. However, the people from Prince Xu’s Estate didn’t believe me and beat me up. They even said that they would torture me until I die. They locked me up in the woodshed and beat me up and interrogated me every day. I should have died last night. I almost felt it. I couldn’t feel anything anymore. I don’t know what the letter is exactly. I don’t know how to read. Even if the letter is in front of me, I don’t know what it says. That’s as much as I know.”

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s eyes met.

Immediately after, it was Xue Yan who asked, “So about that person who asked you to deliver the letter, what characteristics does he have? What does he look like? How tall is he? Can you tell me all of this?”

The beggar immediately nodded. “I don’t know much because that person was wearing a mask and his face was covered. All I know is that he wore a black cloak.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were immediately certain that this was one of the two masked men who had rescued Prince Yi from Prince Ying’s estate a long time ago.

“I told the people from Prince Xu’s estate to look for the person dressed like this, but they didn’t believe me. They even beat me up, saying that I was playing with them. They said that I wouldn’t dare to send a letter to the estate without knowing what the person looked like. I’m just a homeless man. I would always say yes to money. Who knew…” The beggar’s eyes were blurry. “Anyways, that person is very tall.”

Zou Yi and the others had said before that the two mysterious men were very tall. These descriptions matched.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s eyes met again.

“You’re illiterate, so you don’t know the contents of the letter. When Prince Xu’s guards interrogated you, did they not reveal anything that made you feel strange?” Jiang Yue asked.

“Reveal something… Strange place…” The beggar carefully recalled. After a long while, he quickly said, “When I was half-dead and lying in the woodshed, I seemed to have vaguely heard those servants talking at the door. They seemed to have said something about the Emperor of Daling, Wufu of Daling, and fooling His Highness. Also that someone will not be forgiven…”

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan immediately looked at each other.

It seemed that Wufu was very likely to be in the city.

Perhaps it was the two mysterious masked men who had brought him here. After all, these two mysterious men had descended from the sky in Prince Ying’s residence. At this point, anything was possible.
