Mu Jin ordered Xiaoyuan to help check many spice shops, but most of the spices in the shops were purchased by the same merchant with the surname Jia, and this Jia merchant was the largest spice manufacturer in the imperial city.

Mu Jin stood at the door, shaking his head a little. Xiao Si at the door shouted joyfully when he saw this, "Isn't this the big son-in-law?"

"Well, it's me." Mu Jin nodded, "Is your master in the mansion? I have something to ask him."

"Of course, please come from the prince's son-in-law." Xiaosi took Mu Jin to the lobby, "The kindness of the prince's son-in-law is always in my heart. Please wait a moment, and the younger one will inform the master."

"it is good."

This merchant surnamed Jia is the family she once delivered a baby to. She did not expect to come again.

The man came quickly, followed by a woman, who was holding a child who was about half a year old, "I didn't expect my benefactor to come here, and Jia was far away. Please forgive me."

"Don't call me a benefactor, it feels weird, I can do it with little effort." Mu Jin saw the child's chubby face, so he couldn't help poking the child's cheek, "It's been half a year, and the child is already this big."

The woman looked happy, "Thanks to the blessing of the son-in-law, my family Yinyin can grow up healthily."

The man followed suit with a smile, "Don't just stand there, sit down quickly, someone...to have tea."

"Don't bother, I'm here to ask one thing." Mu Jin shook his head.

"I don't know what's the matter?"

"Has there ever been a kind of incense made in your mansion, which is made of tens of thousands of saffron?"

The man nodded, "I have been going to the Lin family to make spices for him. I remember making two pieces of incense."

"Then do you know, is this piece of incense given away?" Finally, there is a clue.

When the man heard this, his eyes flickered, and he shook his head, "I don't know."

Mu Jin noticed the change in the man, she pursed her lips, she didn't really want to use the powerful to overwhelm others, but sometimes she had to use it.

Mu Jin's tone became colder, "It's not that you don't know, but you don't dare to talk nonsense. This piece of incense was given to Princess Val, right?"

The man felt a bit embarrassed, "Brother-in-law, we are just ordinary merchants, so naturally we dare not say something nonsense, otherwise the Lin family would not have taken a fancy to me and let me go into the mansion to make spices!"

When Mu Jin heard this, his attitude was rather tough, "I know this piece of spice, but it ended up in the hands of the prince. I just want to know who handled it during this period."

The man's face turned cold, "I really don't know about these things. I'm only in charge of making the spices to ensure that there are no problems with the spices. The prince... please come back!"

"Wow..." The man's voice seemed to frighten the child, causing the child to cry.

The woman coaxed the child, she pulled the man's sleeve, the man calmed down, hugged the child, "Yin Yin doesn't cry, Daddy is not mean to you."

Seeing this, Mu Jin had no choice but to leave, but it was confirmed that the source of this spice was the Lin family, and the Lin family should not be a participant, otherwise it would not have been given to Wal Siqing, because no one can guarantee that Wal Siqing will send it others.

"It seems that I still have to go see the prince." Mu Jin sighed helplessly.

Mu Jin got into the carriage and ordered: "Ada, let's go to the Prince's Mansion."

"Yes, Prince Consort."

"Drive!" Ada waved his whip.

Sitting in the carriage, Mu Jin kept thinking. Although Shangguan Yue told her not to investigate, she was still thinking about it more or less. She didn't say that she was so noble for the deceased, but because the mastermind behind this scene might be the one who killed Wang Fugui. Even if he is not the murderer, the other party is going for the throne, so he will still collide with the people behind the scenes in the end.

Of course, it is better to hold the initiative by yourself. Even if you find out who is behind the scenes, you may not be able to do anything to the opponent for a while, but at least you must know who the opponent is.

"Woo..." Ada suddenly stopped the carriage.

Mu Jin was puzzled. She opened the curtain and saw a man with a sword blocking the way. The man had no expression on his face, and his whole body was fierce. He cupped his hands and said, "I greet the first son-in-law. I am the guard of the second highness. The second highness sees the first son-in-law passing by. I would like to invite you to Xiangyi Pavilion for a talk."

Mu Jin looked up and saw pink gauze curtains hanging beside the windows in the attic. When the breeze blew, the gauze curtains fluttered and fluttered. The second prince poked his head out and waved with a smile, "Come up!"

Helpless, Mu Jin had no choice but to meet the second prince first.

Xiangyi Pavilion is a place where many literati gather. At the beginning, many talented common people participated in the competition of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but after a long time, it gradually evolved into a place where dignitaries and dignitaries show off.

The food inside is extremely expensive, and the calligraphy and calligraphy in the study room are rare and expensive treasures. As time goes by, the poor will naturally dare not come here again.

"Why is the second prince so elegant?" When Mu Jin went upstairs, he saw the second prince was writing calligraphy and painting.

Shangguan Fei put down his pen and picked up the paper, "Whether elegant or not, I'm just pretending, what do you think of my handwriting?"

"I don't really understand, but these words look domineering and powerful." Mu Jin looked at these words. She actually wanted to say that these words were very aggressive. I can tell.

So Shangguan Fei may be a carnivorous beast under his gentle surface.

"Is that so, no wonder my father said that my handwriting lacks softness." Shangguan Fei put down the paper, "Brother-in-law, why don't you write a few words too, let me have a taste."

"Come on, my handwriting is shameful!"

Shangguan Fei: "Don't worry, I won't laugh at you."

"All right!"

Mu Jin was writing, thinking about which character to write, and she couldn't be too perfunctory, so she wrote a simple character.

Just a simple glance here and there, the ink is different in size, and the legs are one long and one short, which is very ugly.

"A person's character can be seen by his handwriting." Seeing this, Shangguan Fei felt at a loss for words for the first time, "Your handwriting is really ugly."

"Second Young Master, you think Mu Jin is lying?" Mu Jin always felt that Shangguan Fei was waiting for him here on purpose.

"How could it be?" Shangguan Fei patted Mu Jin on the shoulder, "I see that you are heading towards the Prince's Mansion, so I naturally think that you will avoid me."

Does Shangguan Fei think that he has joined the prince?

"Second Young Master was joking, we are all a family, there is nothing to avoid, I just went to the Prince's Mansion to ask something."

"Oh?" Shangguan Fei became interested, he raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter? Can you tell me?"

"Oh!" Mu Jin paused, and just said: "It's like this, there is a piece of spice over there by the prince, which not only smells delicious, but also makes you feel good. I just want to ask the prince where he got it."

Shangguan Fei squinted his eyes when he heard the words, "It's just some spices, I have plenty, if you like, I'll give you as much as you want."

"Could it be that the second son also uses incense made from saffron?" Mu Jin asked tentatively.

"Saffron?" Shangguan Fei shook his head, "That's not true. Do you like saffron? I'll order someone to make it."

"You don't need to trouble the second son, I'd better ask the prince, I can buy it myself." Mu Jin cupped his hands and said again: "The prince has an appointment, please allow me to leave first."

"Hehe, you just walked away from me and then went to the Prince's Mansion, what do you make others think?"

Mu Jin straightened his back, his eyes were clear, "I don't care what other people think."

"I agree with your temperament." Shangguan Fei smiled helplessly, "Forget it, you go, if you need any help, brother-in-law just come to me."

"Thank you, goodbye."

The second prince watched Mu Jin leave, he sneered, and told the guards at the door, "It's almost time, let's go too!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Mu Jin left Xiangyi Pavilion and continued to the Prince's Mansion in a carriage. For the second prince's invitation this time, she also felt the edge of the second prince for the first time. She had never felt that the second prince had been with the prince before.

It seemed that the battle between the royal family was getting more and more serious, and she only hoped that the innocent Bai Qianxi would not be affected.

The speed of the carriage was not fast, and Ada frowned when he passed an alley. There should be some people coming and going here, but now there was no one. He was vigilant about his surroundings.

One of the burly men was next to the well water of a commoner's house. He was holding a bucket and gulping water. The man was bald and had a beard on his face. The chest is bare, and the wrist guards in the hands are made of iron.

When the carriage passed by, a silver thread that was hard to see with the naked eye cut off the horse's forelimb. The horse screamed in pain and fell to the ground in an instant.

The bald man drinking water threw the bucket at Mu Jin violently, Ada hugged her and jumped out of the carriage, "Run!"

The two ran quickly, the bald man sneered, his huge body jumped over the wall lightly, and blocked in front of them in an instant.

"No, this person may be a strong man in the seventh realm." Ada took out the signal flare and shot it into the air.

When the bald man saw this, he attacked quickly. Ada pushed Mu Jin away and drew his sword to fight alone. He stabbed at the man's heart with his sword.

"I'll go, this fat pig is so powerful." Mu Jinjing waited aside, waiting for the guards to come to rescue him.

Ada dropped his sword, summoned his inner strength, and punched the man directly in the stomach. The man was knocked back two steps, but he was unscathed. He smiled coldly.

The man grabbed Ada in a straight line, and while avoiding the man's hands, Ada attacked the man's ribs left and right. On the other hand, the man's attack on Ada was like scratching an itch.

In the end, Ada was caught by the man, and he gently lifted him up. The man held Ada sideways and raised his feet. Seeing this, Mu Jin said inwardly that he was sorry. If the blow hits, Ada's lumbar spine will be scrapped.

Holding a dagger in his hand, Mu Jin stepped straight towards the man, and slammed into his side with his weak body. The man's center of gravity was unstable, and Ada was thrown when his raised foot landed.

Ada bumped into the wall and fell, with blood surging in his body. Seeing the man chasing Mu Jin, he stood up quickly, picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it at the man's head.

The man was hit on the forehead, he stopped, and Ada pulled Mu Jin and ran back.

During the period, while running, Mu Jin whispered to him, "Lead the man to the carriage."

"Yes."

The man chased after two steps, and seeing that the two of them kept a close distance from him, he stepped on the wall and jumped in front of them again.

Ada took the lead. This time, he used his flexibility to wrap around the man, luring him to gradually retreat to the carriage.
