I don't know what time of night it was, but Su Xiancai dragged his exhausted but happy body over the wall back to his bedroom.
As soon as he got through the hole in the wall, he scanned the whole room with his head. Well, Yang Zhilan was not there, which meant that the work of catching the flower picker was not over yet.
After his feet landed on the ground, Su Xian rubbed his face and lay directly on the bed to rest.
A peaceful night.
When I woke up the next day, it was already bright outside the window.
Su Xian turned over and climbed up. He glanced sideways and saw Yang Zhilan sitting cross-legged on the floor. He scratched his head and asked Yang Zhilan's thin face:
"How was last night?"
"all the best!"
"That's good……"
"..."
Su Xian got out of bed, rubbed his face and asked, "Where is your household registration? Has it been resolved?"
Yang Zhilan did not respond, but took out a piece of paper from her body and handed it over.
Su Xian took it, looked at it, and said with a smile: "That's right, Tang Shujing does things very quickly, she got it done so quickly!"
He handed the piece of paper back to Yang Zhilan, smiled and warned: "This is your identity certificate, please keep it."
Yang Zhilan nodded and took it, placing it close to her body carefully.
Su Xian walked to the window and stretched out. When he turned around, he saw Yang Zhilan standing behind with a lacquered wooden box in her arms, but hesitated to speak.
"What is this?" Su Xian asked.
"The box found in the flower picker's lair." Yang Zhilan replied.
"Oh?" Su Xian was confused.
"This is the wooden box used by the guards to store confidential letters." Yang Zhilan said calmly.
"What!"
Su Xian was taken aback and looked closely at the one-foot-square wooden box. Then he looked up at Yang Zhilan's expressionless face and asked:
"Is this a guard's box? Or is it used to store confidential letters?"
"Yes, there are signs here."
Yang Zhilan put the wooden box on the bed and pointed to an inconspicuous place at the bottom of the wooden box. As expected, there was a mark there that Su Xian couldn't understand.
"Why is there something from the inner guard in the flower picker's lair?" Su Xian wondered.
Yang Zhilan shook her head slightly, indicating that she was unclear.
Su Xian looked at the wooden box carefully, became curious and asked, "Can I open it?"
Yang Zhilan: "You can try it with the key left by Xiao Ge Ling."
Su Xian nodded.
However, the bunch of keys and half of his property were stored in Liu Huixiang's boudoir next door.
Su Xian went out to the next door and quickly retrieved the key.
There were twelve keys in the bunch. Yang Zhilan tried them one by one and finally opened the wooden box with the ninth key.
Yang Zhilan was afraid that there was a hidden weapon in the wooden box, so she asked Su Xian to step back.
She slowly opened it and found that there were indeed some letters inside, and there were no hidden weapons. Su Xian walked closer, took out a letter and read it.
But I found that I couldn't understand it, it was all code words.
In the end, it was Yang Zhilan who took action... She randomly read through a few copies and finally made a summary:
"This is a secret letter received by a stronghold of the inner guard. It comes from secret agents planted in various places. The content of the secret letter is nothing special... but the strange thing is that the dates on it are all three months ago!"
"..."
When it comes to matters related to internal guards, killers, etc., Yang Zhilan talks more. At this time, she looks almost like an ordinary person.
Su Xian pondered for a long time, then looked at Yang Zhilan and ordered: "Please read these letters and see if you can find any information about the little cabinet leader."
"yes!"
Yang Zhilan didn't hesitate at all, let alone asked what the purpose of this move was.
In fact, Su Xian paid special attention to the small cabinet leader of the inner guard.
Because he died in Su Xian's hands.
It would be perfect if you could find useful information from these letters and avoid risks.
However, Yang Zhilan read tirelessly for half a day, and finally replied to Su Xian that she did not find anything about Xiao Ge Ling!
"That's good!"
Su Xian was inexplicably relieved, and then ordered: "Hide this wooden box."
…
…
The day is noon.
Outside the north gate of Yingzhou.
The official road leading to the marching camp twenty miles away was very lively with people and cars coming and going.
In one of the carriages with rolling wheels, Tang Shujing was sitting clearly.
There was another person lying at her feet, tied up with five flowers and a hood over his head, motionless.
This person is none other than the flower-picking thief who caused unrest in Yingzhou and other prefectures and counties!
Tang Shujing went to the marching camp. Except for the flower picker, no one else followed her, in order to cover up others' eyes!
It's not that I'm afraid of the flower picker's accomplices or anything.
This flower-picking thief also has no accomplices.
Tang Shujing's move was actually for——
A blockbuster!
Try to imagine that when Princess Lanling was worried about this thief, she suddenly appeared in front of Princess Lanling with this thief, without any news in advance.
Then the shock this will cause to Princess Lanling will be huge!
At the same time, Tang Shujing can also be a blockbuster, shocking everyone including her father Tang Ju!
In the bumpy carriage, the wheels roared.
Tang Shujing sat upright, imagining the scene that would shock everyone later, and she became so happy that she never closed the corners of her mouth.
The twenty-mile journey is approaching in an instant.
The gate of the marching camp is already in sight.
…
Half an hour later.
Tang Shujing walked out of the gate of the camp with a bright smile.
This trip was just as she expected. When she brought the flower picker in front of Princess Lanling, the princess and the officials and generals present were all dumbfounded.
Nangong Kui, the third prisoner of the prison department, even said incredulously:
"This is impossible!"
After the identity of the flower picker was confirmed, Princess Lanling was overjoyed. She even praised Tang Shujing and praised her affectionately: "Shujing is a woman, no less than a man!"
These words made Tang Shujing elated.
Then Princess Lanling said: "Not even Nangong Kui can catch this thief, but you can bring him to justice. Your ability to handle cases is especially superior to Nangong Kui!"
These words almost made Tang Shujing faint on the spot...
Princess Lanling has clear rewards and punishments. Tang Shujing has made such great contributions, so she will not begrudge the rewards.
Gold, silver, goods, cloth, silk and satin, etc., could fill five carts!
Although she was not rewarded with an official position or any royal utensils, Tang Shujing was still so happy that she almost couldn't find Bei...
After walking out of the gate, Tang Shujing couldn't help but get on the carriage and prepare to return to the city.
Behind the carriage are the rewards of the five carts.
This is her meritorious service. She has already planned to pull the reward of these five carriages for a circle on the street... no, three times!
Boom!
Wheels were rolling on the official road in the north of the city.
Just as Tang Shujing's motorcade passed by, another carriage hurriedly drove in the opposite direction——
That is the carriage of Yingzhou Prefectural Government.
Tang Ju sat in it.
The carriages of the two fathers and daughters passed by each other, but neither of them noticed each other.
Compared to Tang Shujing's joy, Tang Ju, who rushed to the marching camp, had a sad and ugly look on his face.
Tang Ju went to the marching camp to deal with Princess Lanling's ten-day deadline to solve the case.
Seeing that today was already the ninth day, but the damn flower-picking thief hadn't been arrested yet, Tang Ju already had a premonition that he would be in trouble when he went to see Princess Lanling this time.
First of all, the flower picker likes to commit crimes in Yingzhou territory, and Tang Ju bears the greatest responsibility.
Secondly, Tang Ju is a child of a noble family after all, so he is afraid that Princess Lanling will specifically target him.
Furthermore, Tang Ju has heard that the governors from nearby counties will also come to the marching camp to meet the princess today. They are all waiting to see Tang Ju's joke!
