After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 118: Searching for People in a Ruined Temple

"That time, we knew how the Yu family treated the princess, and we couldn't stand it, so we cursed the lady of the Yu family."

As he spoke, Maodan was a little angry, and a little guilty: "Then there was an old beggar who appeared out of nowhere, heard everything we said, and said that the concubine of the Yu Mansion was making trouble because she was scared, and that she entered the Yu family in the same way."

“The old man also said that this was because of the bad things that the concubine did in the past, and now it is retribution for that, and Minister Yu is not a good person either.

He cursed these people a lot and then got to the point.

He said that when his wife was still alive, she felt sorry for him and brought him into the house and gave him some food.

As a result, he had a stomachache and slipped out to find a toilet. He met Yu Shangshu who was going to the main courtyard. He thought that with such a kind-hearted lady, this master must be a good official. As a result, as soon as he entered the main courtyard, he heard beating and scolding, and all the servants in the main courtyard were sent away. "

"He heard the kindhearted lady say in a shrill voice, 'You are collaborating with the enemy and treason!'"

Yu Tingwan narrowed his eyes suddenly, sat up straight and stared at Maodan seriously. Even Qi Kun stood up, walked out of the yard, looked around, and made sure that no one was eavesdropping before sitting back down again with a serious expression.

"Mao Dan, are you sure he said that?"

If that's the case, how dare this old beggar spread such rumors? Is he really going to die?

"It's true." Mao Dan nodded vigorously, "But he only said this one sentence, and then he said that he was frightened at the time and ran out of the Shangshu Mansion in a hurry, fearing that he would be silenced."

Seeing the serious expressions on the two people's faces, Maodan had to scratch his head again, feeling quite embarrassed.

"But sir, this old beggar might have lied to us, because he said all this to ask us for food, and after he finished eating, he said that he made it up just to trick us into giving him food!"

But obviously, Yu Tingwan and Qi Kun did not think so. Even if it was groundless, there must be a loophole. What's more, there is another very important point here. Yu Tingwan knew very clearly that Yu Huaiyi was really suspected of treason!

So, she wanted to meet this old beggar!

"Mr. Qi, don't worry about farming today. I will contact them in two days."

Qi Kun naturally knew that those things were important, and nodded in agreement.

"Sir, it's important to do your business. There's no rush for these little things."

Yu Tingwan couldn't wait any longer, fearing that after this period of time, the old beggar would talk nonsense again and bring disaster upon himself, and then he would really not be able to get anything out of him.

Then he took Maodan to the place they were following.

"What are you doing?"

When he arrived at the surveillance place, Maodan saw from afar a few people sitting there doing something unknown. When he got closer, he realized that these people had picked up some stones from somewhere and were playing with them. He couldn't help feeling annoyed, especially since the young master had also come with them today.

Seeing Maodan coming, several people quickly restrained themselves, especially when they saw that the young master was following Maodan, expressions of annoyance appeared on their faces.

"I told you to keep an eye on the Shangshu Mansion, and this is how you keep an eye on it?"

This would simply make him lose face in front of the young master, and the young master would definitely think that he was letting them be careless and not doing their job properly!

Thinking about these made me even angrier.

"Don't do this anymore. Do you really remember the Master's kindness in your heart when you treat His instructions like this?"

Several of them were still teenagers, and after hearing what he said, they became even more anxious and kept waving their hands to explain.

"No, sir, it's not like that. We have kept your matter in mind, it's just that..."

"Yes, we didn't. We were wrong, sir. We..."

They didn't know how to explain it. It was indeed their fault, but they really had not forgotten the young master's kindness!

Yu Tingwan knew what they meant, but did not stop them from talking. He just stood there and listened to their explanation.

After talking for a while, several people realized that any further explanations were just excuses, and they all admitted their mistakes to Yu Tingwan.

Yu Tingwan did not respond immediately, but stared at the gate of the Shangshu Mansion for a while before speaking: "I know that you are all still children. You have been in the capital for so many years and are used to being free and easy. It is really boring for you to keep staring at a quiet gate like this."

When they heard this, they were all panicked.

"Master, it's our fault. We were too lazy. Please punish us. I just hope you won't abandon us!"

"Yes, sir, we know we were wrong, please punish us!"

If the young master is really disappointed in them, then they would be truly ashamed of him and unworthy of his cultivation of them.

Several young boys looked at Yu Tingwan anxiously, fearing that the young master would chase them away next.

Not only them, Maodan was also worried at this moment. They made mistakes because he did not discipline them well, and he was afraid that they would all be punished.

"Master, they are at fault. It is also because Maodan did not discipline him well. Please give them another chance. Such a thing will definitely not happen again."

Seeing that his expression was becoming more and more nervous, Yu Tingwan finally spoke again.

"Alright, considering this is the first time, I won't make a fuss about it. But I still have to punish you. I'll fine you half a month's salary as a punishment. But if something like this happens again, I'll have to consider whether to change a group of guys to do my job!"

After hearing this, several people breathed a sigh of relief and were very grateful, expressing their gratitude again and again.

"Sir, we remember this and will not dare to do it again."

Yu Tingwan nodded slightly. In fact, she had not placed her hopes on these children before. The Shangshu Mansion had always been guarded by secret guards, and she knew every move of Yu Huaiyi inside.

But she didn't expect that these children actually found some other clues. However, given their current state, Yu Tingwan was not going to reward them again. If they were so lazy, wouldn't it be a big problem when she really needed them in the future?

"Okay, do you remember where the old beggar you were chatting with went?"

She had been waiting here for such a long time but hadn't seen him. Could it be that he had cheated her into giving him a meal and then left?

The other beggar quickly replied.

"Sir, are you looking for that old man? He came here every day in the past few days, but today, I don't know why, I haven't seen him yet."

Yu Tingwan frowned: "Then do you know where he usually is?"

For some reason, Yu Tingwan suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I know, I know. I'll take you there."

Xiao Qi hurriedly led the way, and Yu Tingwan followed him towards the outside of the city.

"Except for us, most of the beggars in the capital spend their time in a dilapidated temple outside the city. This old beggar said before that he would go to this place every night."

Not long after, several people walked out of the city gate and came to the ruined temple.
