Gong Ping was originally proud of his wit and blamed Xie Yidao for everything, but now he looked at Ling Chu with an incomprehensible expression.
He originally felt that Ling Chu was a bit evil, but when he saw her suddenly talking to herself in the empty air, he felt uneasy for some reason.
Ning Chuyi and Wei Feng didn't find it strange, and they all guessed that Ling Chu must have seen the puppet soul again.
Although Eunuch Liu didn't quite believe that Xie Yidao was responsible for dropping the jade, he decided to send someone to retrieve Xie Yidao after listening to Gong Ping's words.
Regardless of whether he did it or not, if such a big thing happened in the workshop, everyone must be interrogated.
"Come, go to Xie Yidao's house and bring him back to me."
"Wait a minute." Ling Chu suddenly spoke to stop him.
Although Eunuch Liu didn't know Ling Chu, he had already heard that this person was invited by Master Ning, and it was thanks to her that the jade items were found.
Although he didn't know why Ling Chu wanted to stop him, Eunuch Liu still said in a gentle manner, "What's the matter, girl?"
"Eunuch Liu, Xie Yidao is not in his hometown."
"What, Xie Yidao is not in his hometown? Does this...does this girl know where he is?"
Unlike Eunuch Liu's surprise, Gong Ping suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
Originally, everything in the workshop was under his control, but since Miss Ling appeared, things began to escape his control.
Ling Chu nodded to Eunuch Liu, "I do know where Xie Yidao is."
Gong Ping looked at Ling Chu with a suspicious look on his face, and kept comforting himself in his heart, not to get into trouble. How could this girl know the whereabouts of Xie Yidao?
As soon as he finished comforting himself, Gong Ping saw Miss Ling suddenly reaching out and pointing down the slope, "Xie Yidao is right there."
The people present subconsciously looked in the direction of her finger and couldn't help but be confused.
Where is Xie Yidao's figure down the slope?
Ning Chuyi, on the other hand, was looking thoughtfully at the Lotus Lake down the slope.
Eunuch Liu didn't see Xie Yidao, so he was instinctively unhappy, thinking that Ling Chu was talking nonsense.
But he was someone who had been infected for many years in the big dye vat in the palace. When he saw the lotus leaves swaying in the lake, he quickly thought of something.
His face suddenly became ugly.
"The girl is saying...Xie Yidao is in that lake?"
Ling Chu nodded, Eunuch Liu was not too stupid.
"This, Mr. Ning..." Eunuch Liu's face became increasingly uglier. Under his management, not only did jade items get swapped out at Jinxiu Yuzhen, but there were also murders.
The position he is in charge of is probably going to be taken down.
"Come here, go down to Lianhu Lake and search." The emperor handed over the thorough investigation of the workshop to Ning Chuyi. Now that he knew something happened to the sculptor, he couldn't ignore it.
"Wait a minute!" Just when Wei Feng was about to lead people into the lake to search, the second prince suddenly spoke.
"Miss Ling, you and Xie Yidao are not related, so how do you know that he is not in your hometown, but you said that he is in the lake?
Even if you are not talking nonsense, as far as I know, this is your first time coming to Jinxiu Yuzhen, so how do you know so many things? "
As soon as the second prince finished speaking, the royal guards all looked at him.
The second prince's face darkened. Why did he feel that the looks of those royal guards were saying that he was ignorant?
Just when he thought about this, he saw Miss Ling flipping her wrist toward him, and there were a few copper coins in her white palm.
"I figured it out."
The second prince frowned, finally understanding that what she said was calculated using hexagrams.
"Nonsense! Does the girl think she is a god? She can know the past and the future with just a few coins!"
Ling Chu paid no attention to the second prince, he would soon know whether he was talking nonsense or not.
"The southwest corner." Those few were about to leave the Hu Jinyi Guards. Knowing that Ling Chu was telling them the location of the body, they hurriedly thanked them, "Thank you, girl."
The lake was full of silt, so it was not easy to search. Miss Ling told them the specific location directly, but it saved them a lot of time.
Soon the Jin Yiwei who went down to the lake discovered Xie Yidao's body in the mud and carried him ashore.
Gong Ping's heart was like a thunder drum, and he suppressed his panic and walked out calmly.
Ling Chu had promised to help Xie Yidao expose Gong Ping's crimes, so how could he let him escape.
With a wave of his hand, the small hammer hit Gong Ping's hind leg.
Gong Ping made a splash and fell down instantly.
"Miss Ling, Gong Ping is the steward appointed by the emperor. You hurt him and delayed the work of the workshop. Can you afford it?"
The second prince's eyes were cold. This girl had ruined his affairs many times and deserved to die.
Ling Chu looked directly at the second prince, "Gong Ping killed Xie Yidao..."
Gong Ping's face changed drastically, and he interrupted Ling Chu's words hastily, "You are talking nonsense, I was wronged. I have no grudge against Xie Yidao, why should I kill him!"
"You used the threat of Xie Yidao's family to force him to imitate the jade articles made by Master Tian and others with inferior jade.
While Eunuch Liu was drunk, he stamped the warehouse key on his body, exchanged the batch of high-quality jade made by Master Tian and others, and then killed Xie Yidao.
They even sent people to kill all of Xie Yidao's family members in order to eliminate the root cause. "
"You're talking nonsense. I didn't kill anyone. I didn't kill Xie Yidao."
"That's not all you did. You forced Xie Yidao to carve the jade items in the stepping stone for you.
Also, you secretly turned many high-quality jadeite rough stones into scraps, and then hid them in the lake, intending to carry them out in a bucket. "
Gong Ping originally thought that those things he did in private were unnoticed, but he didn't expect that Miss Ling knew everything about it, and he was shocked and confused.
"I was wronged by your slanderous words. You are talking nonsense..."
It’s really hard not to shed tears until I see the coffin.
Ling Chu suddenly waved his hand and hit the rockery made of jade waste in the distance with his small hammer.
After a loud noise, an inconspicuous piece of scrap rolled down the rockery.
"Master Ning, that jade stone contains Xie Yidao's suicide note and account books."
Gong Ping turned pale in shock.
The second prince's face was so dark that it dripped with ink, so damn Xie Yidao, he even secretly made an account book.
Just as he was about to signal the guards to destroy the account books, Ning Chuyi glanced at Yin Sha.
Yin Sha dodged his body and got the suicide note and account book first.
Xie Yidao wrote in his suicide note that Gong Ping threatened his family with forcing him to forge jade articles. What was recorded in the account book was that Gong Ping was corrupt, falsely reported, and forged jade articles.
"Master Ning, he hid the high-quality rough stone that Gong Ping falsely reported under the lotus in the middle of the lake."
"Wei Feng."
After receiving Ning Chuyi's instructions, Wei Feng immediately took the people down to the lake.
It didn't take long to dig out twenty or thirty pieces of rough jadeite, large and small.
Everything was in ruins. Gong Ping's face was ashen, and he subconsciously looked towards the second prince, wanting to beg him to save him.
How could he have the nerve to ask for help if he failed to achieve anything but ruined his big job?
The second prince glanced at the guard next to him.
The guard nodded and suddenly rushed out. Before anyone could react, he raised his knife and dropped it...
