The Second Prince's Mansion.
Recently, Chu Chengyao made his debut in the court. It was a time when his busy feet were not touching the ground. Chu Chengyao was very happy with this kind of busyness. He devoted himself to the punishment department that was unexpectedly welcomed by him, and his attitude of doing everything by himself was praised by the emperor. .
After hearing Zhong Yi's reply, Chu Chengyao, who was behind the desk, stopped writing and looked up and asked:
"Lin Jinyan went to a pawn shop to pawn things for money?"
Zhong Yi: "Yes, people who follow Lin Jinyan said that she went to the pawn shop twice in the past few days to pawn jade bracelets and ornaments. She seems to be short of money to buy something."
Chu Chengyao frowned and thought for a while: "If she is short of money, why doesn't she get it from the Lin Mansion? Why not get it from the dowry shop her mother left for her?"
Seeing that he couldn't think of a reason, Chu Chengyao directly talked about other things:
"You go and help Chen Qingshan to find all the corpses in Qin Zongheng's residence. The Duke's Palace of the Li family has found a scapegoat, so they can only start with other people. The more people are found, the more flaws the Duke's Palace will reveal. It will be bigger."
Zhong Yi: "We are investigating, and there are two corpses that have some clues based on their clothing."
Chu Chengyao: "Well, since the misunderstanding with the Duke's government has caused trouble, there is no need to hold back. I have tried my father's attitude. He asked me to let it go. I want my father to hand over the Ministry of Punishment to me. , just to let me deal with the Duke's government."
Zhong Yi: "Since Your Majesty trusts His Highness so much, I think the day will not be far when Your Highness will compete with the Crown Prince."
Chu Chengyao said with a serious look: "It's not that easy. My father asked me to go to court just to knock on the Duke's palace. The prince's position in my father's heart is still stable. But now that the Ministry of Punishment is in my hands, I will take it into my pocket." middle."
Nightless Houli.
Doctor Wu looked at what Fan Tonggui sent, carefully inspected it and handed the box to Feng Xiaoran:
"There's nothing wrong with it."
Feng Xiaoran: "Can that stinky girl give me this valuable object?"
An Zhixian: "This is the stolen property she got during a robbery. If it comes from the right place, she may not give it to you."
Feng Xiaoran gritted her teeth and said, "I knew that black-hearted girl wouldn't be so kind."
An Zhixian looked at the scratches on the back of Feng Xiaoran's hands and shook his head:
"I told you not to tease her."
Feng Xiaoran: "Are you still talking about me? Didn't you also get the soul-chasing incense from her?"
An Zhixian didn't feel embarrassed, raised his tea cup and said calmly:
"She had planned it before giving me the soul-chasing incense, so it was impossible to guard against it. But you delivered it to me yourself, how could it be confused?"
Feng Xiaoran rolled her eyes: "Then she goes back on her word and plots against you. How are you going to deal with her?"
Old God An Zhixian said: "She agreed to form an alliance from the next day when she high-fived me, so she didn't break her promise, but I didn't notice it at the time. And I suspect that the girl named Bai Zhi next to her is from Cang Holy Mountain.”
Feng Xiaoran thought about it carefully: "The girl who loves to smile and stand with Hong Jiu? Could she come from Cang Sheng Mountain?"
Doctor Wu: "The soul-chasing incense is a secret medicine not passed down from Cang Sheng Mountain. It is extremely difficult to prepare. If it was really made by that girl, then she can be considered a master. The bone cake powder you won last time should also be from her. hand."
Feng Xiaoran: "Isn't Lin Jinyan's aunt from Cangsheng Mountain? Maybe she did it?"
An Zhixian picked up the teacup: "Baizhi was given to Lin Jinyan by the general's wife. I also tested the second young master of the general's residence. He doesn't know the scent of chasing souls."
