Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Yuchi Baoqi glanced at Fang Yizhi, and wanted to wave to Ji Wang. She wanted to remind him that it would be better to mention things like researching beauties when Fang Yizhi was not around.But before he could speak out, Ji Wang had already sent someone to invite his sister.

younger sister?

Yuchi Baoqi was very surprised, but out of politeness he didn't make a sound.Yuchi Baoqi thought that the beauty he was talking about was that kind of woman, but he really didn't expect that the beauty Ji Wang was talking about was his younger sister, and someone would call his younger sister like that in front of outsiders?Is it afraid that others will not know that his sister is a beauty?

Although Ji Wang is a military commander this time, it's still too 'informal' to speak like this.

Yuchi Baoqi saw that Fang Yizhi's eyes were heavy. People who don't understand him may not feel that he has any emotional changes, but the relationship between Yuchi Baoqi and Fang Yizhi has always been very good, so he naturally understands what Fang Yizhi means. .Seeing Ji Wang smiling obsequiously at Fang Yi, Yuchi Baoqi suddenly understood what it meant.In my heart, I feel that this Ji Wang is a friend he made before, and I have the responsibility to remind him to restrain himself, at least not to make him embarrass himself in front of Fang Yi.

"Brother Yizhi, I think it's good that he has this knife on his body, you can take a look first." After Yuchi Baoqi said, he asked Ji Wang to take off the knife and brought it to Fang Yizhi.

Yuchi Baoqi put down his things, and hurriedly looked aside.

"This...isn't appropriate." Yuchi Baoqi whispered to Ji Wang, "You and brother Yi Zhi met for the first time, how could you let others see your sister so rashly. What do you mean? "

Ji Wang was stunned, and looked at Yuchi Baoqi in surprise, "Don't you bring Fang Shizi here today to introduce him to my sister?"

Yuchi Baoqi: "..."

Ji Wang became anxious, "Have you forgotten? I asked you to help lead the red line. My fourth sister admires him very much."

Yuchi Baoqi stared, recalled carefully, and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.But I told him that there are too many people who have younger sisters who admire Fang Yizhi, how can he remember which one is which!

Ji Wang looked at Yuchi Baoqi anxiously, "Did you forget?"

"Ah, of course I haven't forgotten, otherwise why would I bother to bring him here today to introduce you?" Yuchi Baoqi reacted very quickly, "But this kind of thing is not the first time, we have to get along a few times, familiar After a while, let’s introduce him again. He is not like you generals, he has a bright personality, he comes when he says something, and literati pay attention to step-by-step.”

"It's so troublesome?" Ji Wang nodded and regretted, "I'm going to send him away!"

After Ji Wang finished speaking, he called his followers to hurry up and stop them so that his sister would not come.Yuchibao nodded at what time, and just about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a green shadow floating from the south, followed by twenty or thirty maidservants, it was quite lively.Before she arrived, she yelled clearly from a distance, "Brother!"

Ji Wang patted his forehead in frustration, glanced helplessly at Yuchi Baoqi, and said embarrassedly, "It's late, it's late, we're here." Then, he hurriedly smiled and called his younger sister to come over, so that his fourth younger sister would be happy to meet her. Guofang Yizhi and Yuchi Baoqi.

Ji Siniang had a round face with phoenix eyes, thick lips, and her mouth pouts a little when she is shy.

Ji Siniang shyly bowed to the two guests and got up, her eyes sneaked a glance at Fang Yizhi from time to time, and every time she glanced, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but snicker.But it's also a sneak peek, and Ji Siniang's peek is so obvious that people can find it.

After Yuchi Baoqi glanced at the legendary 'beauty', she quickly looked away and stared at the ground, with her mouth tightly shut, thinking silently in her heart: This matter has nothing to do with him, it has nothing to do with him...

"My sister has a bright temper and is just as informal as I am. Our family doesn't have any big rules, it's a bit rough, so please don't be offended by the two of you." Ji Wang apologized.

"General Ji, you're being polite, Baoqi and I have made this trip worthwhile, this precious sword is like a beauty." Fang Yi pulled out the knife straight away, looking at the bright white blade and sighing slightly.

Ji Wang: "It is indeed a good knife. It was given to me by my grandfather. It was the knife he used when he accompanied Emperor Gaozu to kill the enemy. I have been carrying this knife since I was a child. Carry it with you and never leave it.”

Fang Yi smiled politely and nodded, sighing that Ji Wang was not easy.

Ji Wang was naturally happy to be praised by Fang Yi, so he ordered someone to bring up all the good knives in his collection and show Fang Yi to have a look.

"Brother..." Ji Siniang whispered to remind Ji Wang that she was still there.

Ji Wang glanced at Yuchi Baoqi, and Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly shook his head slightly at Ji Wang.

"My four younger sisters don't give in to men, and they can dance swords and knives." Ji Wang hesitated for a while, but decided to try, and introduced Fang Yizhi with a smile.

Fang Yi turned to look at Ji Siniang.

As soon as Ji Siniang saw him looking at herself, she happily took two steps forward, glanced reluctantly at Fang Yizhi, and then lowered her head shyly.

"The general's fourth younger sister is really extraordinary, it's amazing." Fang Yi said straight.

Ji Wang laughed, "Your Majesty, you are admiring me, I am admiring you!"

"However, I saw that the general's fourth younger sister is wearing a skirt, so it's not suitable for sword dancing, why not another day." Fang Yi bluntly suggested gently.

Ji Wang glanced at Ji Siniang's clothes in a blink of an eye, it was a very complicated and gorgeous dress, he nodded hurriedly, and let his fourth sister go down with a wink.

Ji Siniang was still not reconciled, "Brother, I can dance sword like this!"

After all, she seemed to roll up her sleeves, eager to show off her abilities to everyone.

"We still have business to discuss, you go down first." Ji Wang glared at Ji Siniang, motioning her to go back quickly.

Ji Siniang pursed her lips, and turned around grabbing the veil unhappily.

Ji Wang smiled embarrassedly at Fang Yizhi, and asked Fang Yizhi to appreciate his treasured sword.

After Fang Yizhi looked at them one by one with a smile, he nodded to Ji Wang and agreed.

Yuchi Baoqi also kept praising her.

Ji Wang felt very honored, and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

Afterwards, Fang Yizhi wanted to take a walk on the grounds that the alcohol was too strong.So the three went to the garden together.The back gardens of noble mansions naturally have ponds.

After Fang Yi went straight to the pond, he saw several koi swimming in the river.

Fang Yi laughed and sighed for the fat fish.

"The servants in the family are diligent and feed the fish very well. I will reward them well later on." Ji Wang said happily.

"The fish in the pond are the best to raise. Actually, you don't need to take care of them. You can live by eating mud." Fang Yi sighed, "It's not like pigs and dogs. If you keep them in circles, they will die if you don't feed them. starve."

"That's right, that's the reason. It's fine if you don't feed him." Ji Wang laughed heartily, "If that's the case, can I save some money? To avoid his reward?"

"Brother Ji is really good at joking, how much money can you still miss? You should still be rewarded, don't make your servants hate Brother Yi." Yuchi Baoqi sighed with a smile.

"No, no, how dare he!" Ji Wang laughed.

Fang Yi didn't say anything else, and continued to walk in the garden.He found that the pond here was different from other places, it was longer, and divided the back garden of the mansion into north and south sides, with only an arch bridge in the middle, and two servants standing on the other end of the arch bridge.Although they didn't stand there standing upright like the two doormen, they occasionally wandered elsewhere, but Fang Yizhi had observed them specially, and the two of them never left, and their eyes still looked towards Gongqiao from time to time. look.

The scene on the other side of the pond does not look as exquisite as this side. The place on the shore is fairly clean, but looking inside, the place where there is a forest is actually overgrown with weeds.The trees are also growing crazily, very dense, and some places in the depths are very gloomy.

Yuchi Baoqi was still complimenting Ji Wang, but after getting a hint from Fang Yizhi, he smiled and hooked Ji Wang's shoulder indifferently, and shouted, "Where is the opposite side? It looks interesting, like a Dense Linzi, let's go for a walk."

"It used to be a martial arts training ground, but it was not used very much later. I saw that it was bare and ugly, so I asked someone to plant trees there. I really wanted to make it like other houses, with some pavilions and pavilions, very beautiful. That kind. But the place is too big, and there are not many servants in the family. To be honest, it really hurts some money, so after half of the construction started there, it ran aground, and no one was asked to continue to take care of it. , only a little pruning near the river, just look at it from here. I don’t even know what’s going on inside. I haven’t been there for many years. It must be full of weeds everywhere. , it’s no different from the mountains. Please don’t go, you two, so that I feel ashamed to blush.” Ji Wang apologized to them embarrassingly.

"That's how it is. Since there's nothing to see, the two of us don't have fun." Yuchi Baoqi raised an eyebrow at Ji Wang half-jokingly, "Brother Ji should know me, I'm only interested in beautiful things."

Ji Wang smiled knowingly, "Understood, you really do, that's why I dare not let you watch it, because I'm afraid that you, a high-sighted person, will laugh at me as a vulgar person after watching it."

"Hey, brother Ji thinks of me that way? I'm such a gentleman, how can I laugh at people's shortcomings." Yuchi Baoqi boasted cheekily.

"I said he's the one who likes to joke the most, right?" Ji Wang asked Fang Yi for proof.

Fang Yizhi nodded immediately.

Yuchi Baoqi glared at Fang Yizhi, "Oh, this is still a good brother, and this will expose my shortcomings!"

Fang Yi smiled lightly and remained silent.

Yuchi Baoqi loosened his shoulders, and turned to Ji Wang to say that he could continue to drink, he hadn't enjoyed himself enough yet.Ji Wang asked Fang Yizhi if his head still hurts, Fang Yizhi nodded.

"I'll just stand here for a while, you guys go first." Fang Yi said straight.

Ji Wang said embarrassingly: "This is not good, you are a distinguished guest in my house, there is no reason not to accompany you."

"What about me? I'm not?" Yuchi Baoqi asked pretending to be unhappy.

Ji Wang raised his eyebrows, "Of course you are not important."

"Ah! You... Humph, don't expect me to recognize you as a friend in the future." After Yuchi Baoqi said that, he shook his sleeves and left.

Ji Wang immediately stopped him with an apologetic smile, saying that he was just joking.

"Apologizing is not enough. I'll fine you three glasses of wine." Yuchi Baoqi said angrily, "No, it's three bowls, three bowls."

"Okay, okay, what you say is right." Ji Wang's eyes lit up when he heard about the fine wine.

"Then let's go, what are you waiting for!" Yuchi Baoqi said, and walked back.

Ji Wang looked at Fang Yizhi, hesitantly said: "But Fang Shizi..."

Yuchi Baoqi grabbed Ji Wang, told him to follow her back, and told him: "Don't pay attention to him, it will go back naturally after being blown by the wind for a while, and its head will stop hurting. Besides, brother Yizhi's drinking capacity It's always been bad, it's incomparable to you and me, but he doesn't enjoy drinking with us, it's best not to worry about him."

Ji Wang nodded, took another look at Fang Yizhi's direction, and left with Yuchi Baoqi.

Fang Yizhi's warm smiling face turned cold in an instant.He turned his face to the side of the pond with his hands behind his back, and Luo Ge stood beside Fang Yizhi.

"My lord, do you need to check the situation on the other side?" Luo Ge asked, seeing Fang Yi nodding, he frowned and said worriedly, "But the lotus pond is like a moat, separating the north and south of the garden, it looks like there is only a stone arch bridge The road. There are still people guarding the bridge, if they try to get people away, I'm afraid they will startle the snake if they are not careful."

"You can't walk on the bridge. The question just now has attracted the other party's attention. If there is any movement on the bridge, he will be surprised if he knows afterwards." Fang Yi squinted his eyes, and his eyes fell on the surface of the pond, "Walking on the water That's it."

Luo Ge was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this was actually a better way.It's not that he can't water.After looking back to check the situation, he will swim over quietly, as long as someone is here to prepare dry clothes for him, it will be easier.

Luo Ge quickly agreed and said yes, because at first glance there was only a stone arch bridge leading to the opposite bank, so he limited his eyes to this, it was really stupid.

Fang Yi told Luo Ge in a low voice, "Keep this set of clothes on your body and change into other people's clothes. Ji Wang has seen you just now. If you were not there when you turned around, or the clothes were wrong, it would definitely cause trouble. His doubts. He is a very delicate person."

Luo Ge promised to do it immediately.

In order to attract the attention of the two servants guarding the bridge, Fang Yizhi deliberately walked near the stone arch bridge to attract the attention of the two servants guarding the bridge.It is estimated that after Luo Ge swam to the other side, Fang Yizhi slowly walked away.

After a stick of incense, the matter was over, Fang Yizhi met Yuchi Baoqi, and bid farewell to Ji Wang.

Ji Wang happily bid farewell to the two, and joyfully invited them to come to the mansion to get together instead of usual.

"Definitely." Yuchi Baoqi said politely.

After parting, Yuchi Baoqi couldn't wait to ask how Fang Yizhi was doing.

Fang Yizhi: "It's him."

"So sure? Could it be that you found the body?" Yuchi Baoqi asked.

"No, but I found this." Fang Yizhi threw a small cloth bag to Yuchi Baoqi.

Yuchi Baoqi opened the cloth bag and took out a leaf from it, with a black stain on the leaf.

"What kind of precious thing should I be, just a leaf?"

"Well, it's just a leaf."

Yuchi Baoqi held the leaf in puzzlement, looked carefully back and forth, but still didn't understand what was so special about the leaf, that it was able to make Fang Yizhi believe that the murderer must be Ji Wang.

After the two returned to the Department of Mirrors, Fang Yi heard that Princess Jinyang hadn't arrived yet, so he knew that she would definitely not come to the Department of Mirrors today.

At this moment, Yuchi Baoqi followed in with a leaf, wanting to ask why.Fang Yi asked someone to bring a porcelain pot over and told Yuchi Baoqi to put the leaves back, then turned around and left.

Yuchi Baoqi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and hurried after her.If his curiosity is aroused, he has to be satisfied, otherwise he must stick to Fang Yizhi.

On the second day, the sky was clear and bright.

Li Mingda walked briskly into the Department of Der Spiegel with great energy.

Yesterday I was lazy all day due to illness, today Li Mingda wanted to come early.So when it was just dawn, she set off at the Lizheng Hall.Li Mingna thought he would be the first person to arrive at the Der Spiegel Department, but as soon as he entered the door, he heard a sound from the room on the right.Li Mingda turned his head to look, followed the sound and landed on Fang Yizhi's room.Li Mingda sniffled and walked towards the inside of the room. After pushing the door open, he saw Zhiren Fang Yi sitting behind the table, sorting out the case files.

"How come it's so early?" Li Mingda asked in surprise, took a few steps closer, and saw Fang Yi who got up to greet him looking tired, Li Mingda was even more surprised, and hurriedly asked him if he didn't leave the Department of Mirrors last night.

Fang Yi laughed straight, "I left early yesterday, and I just arrived here not too long ago."

Li Mingda glanced at the tired look in Fang Yizhi's eyes again, and nodded without revealing him.

"By the way, how was your inspection of the general's mansion yesterday?"

"Everything goes well, we can be [-]% sure that the murderer of the corpse case is him." Fang Yi said bluntly, and showed Li Mingda the leaves in the porcelain jar.

As soon as the lid of the magnetic jar was opened, Li Mingda could smell blood. She looked at the leaf with a black stain on it and asked, "Blood?"

Fang Yizhi nodded, and told Li Mingda how Luoge got the leaf.

"So this leaf was found in the desolate jungle in the General's Mansion? But how did Luo Ge recognize it as blood at a glance?" Li Mingda asked curiously, after all, Luo Ge didn't have such a sensitive nose as hers.

"It's a coincidence, maybe it's God's will." Fang Yi picked up a piece of rice paper on the table, dipped his finger in some water and pressed it, and then lightly wiped the black stain on the surface of the leaf.

After drying it for Li Mingda to see, the snow-white rice paper was stained with a little red.

Luoge was ordered to explain how he found the bloodstains, "I swam in the water, wearing a coarse white robe, because my body was wet, when I hit the blood-stained leaves and grass, the cloth on my body turned slightly red. At first I thought it was strange, but later I realized that the black stains on the grass and leaves were probably bloodstains.”

"You are very smart." Li Mingda admired.

"Yesterday, I asked someone to inquire quietly again. There are more than a hundred vicious dogs in the General's Mansion, which are said to be very capable of biting people. They are usually tied near the general's mansion's warehouse."

Li Mingda immediately narrowed his eyes and asked Fang Yizhi, "Do these dogs eat meat?"

"I haven't heard about it yet. I have to ask the person who owns the dog to find out. There will probably be news today." Fang Yizhi said.

Li Mingda nodded, "You bother."

"It's an honor." Fang Yi replied directly.

Li Mingda pursed the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were full of accusations, "You should go to sleep if you have time, the under eyes are dark, don't burn yourself out for investigating the case."

Li Mingda, who had just recovered from his illness, didn't want Fang Yizhi to be like her.

Fang Yi smiled and agreed, hearing the princess's concern for him, his eyes were instantly filled with tenderness.

"I will definitely listen to your lord's orders well, now and in the future."

The first half of the sentence doesn't sound wrong, but with the addition of 'now' and 'future', it suddenly sounds a bit wrong.

Li Mingda wanted to refute, but found that he had no reason to refute.She is a princess, and the other party will obey her orders in the future. It is really normal to obey her orders, and there is nothing wrong with her.

"Then you should rest quickly." Li Mingda instructed again, then hurried out the door with his head down, and heard the smile in Fang Yizhi's voice behind him, and unconsciously pulled up the corners of her mouth.

Not long after Li Mingda returned to his room, he got the results of yesterday's investigation by Di Renjie and Wei Shuyu.The area near Wutou Mountain to the south of Suzaku Gate is the most suspicious place.There are four or five missing persons among them. There are family members and some witnesses who have witnessed the people's evidence, which can confirm that they disappeared here.Moreover, this official road close to Wutou Mountain is also a place where legends of cannibalism are spread among the common people.The specific statements vary, but the main meaning is probably that the ghosts of the dead bandits in Wutou Mountain have returned, and they are still doing robbery and kidnapping in the Wutou Mountain area. When they were alive, they used to be on the small road. , now it is precisely because he has become a ghost that he is not afraid of anything, so he dares to arrest people on the official road.

"Many local people would rather go far away than take the official road in this area."

"If someone is really missing here, there must be a tool for transporting people, which should be a horse-drawn cart or something. Judging from the time and number of deaths of these bones, in just one year, there will be With such a large number, crimes should be committed frequently. If there are people who often appear on that official road, such as cattle and horse carts that can accommodate living people, they should attract attention, and you should investigate clearly."

Di Renjie, Xiao Kai and Wei Shuyu quickly agreed.

Xiao Kai couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Princess is wise, she has even thought about this, but the three of us have not thought about it. We are really stupid."

Wei Shuyu also sighed, absolutely inferior to the princess.

Yuchi Baoqi looked proud, "It's only natural, how sage is the princess, how can I be compared with ordinary people."

"Okay, don't talk too much, go and handle the case. Whether the case can be solved depends on your investigation."

The three of them socialized, so they resigned and continued to investigate.

Yuchi Baoqi then received a report about investigating the situation of the dog in the general's mansion, and also left to handle business.

Li Mingda looked at Fang Yizhi who was still standing there, "Didn't you just promise to go back and rest?"

Fang Yi nodded straight, and said to Li Mingda: "There is one more secret thing to say, and I will follow the princess's order immediately and go back to rest."

"what's up?"

"It's about monk Bianji."
