Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Both of them knew that even if the murderer was not Changsun Huan, as long as he was from Tang Dynasty, he would be very troublesome.After all, once a murder case involves a country-to-country relationship, it will become complicated and difficult to deal with.

"No matter what, first find out the murderer. There must always be a motive for killing." Li Mingda meant that there may be a good explanation in the motive, but if this is a simple killing of anger or a conspiracy to use power to kill, then the Japanese The head is taken advantage of, Datang is bound to compensate them.I hope it's not the latter. These Japanese people seem to be honest, but they are not vegetarians.

Only then did Li Mingda remember to ask Fang Yizhi: "Why did you come here? Everyone left."

"After Yizhi received the saint's secret decree, he immediately went out to check Changsun Huan's hiding place, so he accidentally missed Wei Wang's notice. He rushed over when he got the news. It was too late, so he had to stop by here to have a look."

There was nothing wrong with Fang Yizhi's answer, but his whole person was cold and indifferent, and his arrogance came from the inside, and he looked like the more noble party.

Li Mingda thought of his father, Fang Xuanling, who usually had a smile on his face, making people think he was easy to get along with, but when things really happened, this old man was even more difficult than Wei Zheng, and it was even harder to get him to let go.Fang Yi just looked at his temper on the surface, but he didn't look like his father at all, but he felt like he was more difficult to deal with.

Fang Yi felt that Princess Jinyang had looked at him a lot, and after a moment of silence, he confessed: "Changsun Huan is in Yuchi Mansion."

Li Mingda was surprised, "Confirm?"

Fang Yi nodded straightly, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, deliberately observing how Li Mingda would react.Letting normal people investigate the case, they will definitely rush to take someone to Yuchi's mansion at this moment. If they don't want to arrest him, they should want to ask him face to face.But after she pondered for a while, she squatted down to check the ground and took out the shoe prints he had just discovered, then walked out of the small forest following the direction of the toes of the shoe prints, and ran towards the direction of the Changsun's residence.

Fang Yi squinted and stared at Princess Jinyang's back, with an obvious sense of inquiry in his eyes.

After a while, Tian Hanshan ran over panting, and said anxiously to Fang Yi: "Why is Fang Dalang standing still, follow our princess!"

Fang Yizhi nodded slightly in apology, followed immediately, and then followed Li Mingda to the servant's room.

The servant's room in Changsun's Mansion occupies a large area, with eight rows of houses on the left and right, and many of them have separate courtyards.The smell inside is mixed, fragrance, rancid, sweaty, foul, medicinal...

Li Mingda could discern the smell of the plaster on the wall, but the direction was too confusing, it seemed that many houses had this plaster.

Li Mingda casually grabbed a little maid for questioning, and then he learned that many of his servants were tired because of frequent work, and many of them suffered from waist and leg pain, so they all popularly applied the cheapest and most effective Zhishentang plaster .

"Can you take a post and let me have a look?" Li Mingda said.

The little maid was very frightened, she hurriedly nodded her head to say yes, she turned around and went to her own residence, and brought her Aye's plaster for Li Mingda.

Li Mingda smelled it and confirmed that it was this kind of plaster.She pondered for a moment, then turned her head to look at Fang Yizhi.

"I will call all the servants involved in the incident to Dayi Hall." Tian Hanshan followed.

"Need not."

Li Mingda and Fang Yizhi spoke almost in unison.

Tian Hanshu was stunned, and stood by with his head bowed in surprise, thinking a lot in his heart, but remained silent.

The reason why Li Mingda said no was because she had a good and sensitive nose, and she confirmed that none of the servants had this kind of plaster smell on them.But Li Mingda was very curious about how Fang Yizhi came to his conclusion.

Fang Yizhi seemed to have seen through Li Mingda's doubts, and before she could ask, he explained first: "Generally, when a mansion hosts a banquet to entertain distinguished guests, the servants selected to serve must be beautiful, young, and agile. The person who puts the plaster must have a smell on his body, and he must never appear at the banquet and embarrass the host."

Li Mingda nodded, feeling that Fang Yi's words made sense.

"If the murderer is really a servant of Changsun's mansion, if he wants to poison Daoyuan Sanjiro, he must guarantee that he will drink the green plum wine hidden by Changsun Huan. Daoyuan Sanjiro once said that the wine was tasteless before he came out. Could it be a hint? Dao Yuan San San Lang must have known that Zhang Sun Huan had good wine, so when he drank half of it, he politely asked for it and wanted to taste it."

Fang Yizhi agreed, he thought there was a possibility, "In this way, the person who lured Daoyuan Sanlang to drink green plum wine should be the murderer."

Li Mingda nodded again, and she immediately ordered four followers of San Sanlang Daoyuan to be summoned.These four attendants, like the others in the Changsun Mansion, are temporarily under house arrest in the Changsun Mansion, and are forbidden to go out until the case is completely settled.

Fang Yizhi: "During the banquet, or before drinking with Changsun Huan, did your deputy meet anyone in the Changsun's mansion and what did they say?"

The four attendants thought for a while, and immediately replied word by word in slightly convoluted Chinese: "The deputy envoy also paid respects once before drinking with Changsun Erlang in the bamboo hut. On the way back, I met a butler holding a After half a pot of wine, he took a sip arguing. The butler said that his wine was not good, and it was not suitable for an envoy. The taste is very different from others.”

"Which housekeeper, what does it look like?" Tian Hanshan asked hurriedly.

The four followers shook their heads.

"He held a wine jar, and your deputy envoy asked, why? Could it be that your deputy envoy loves wine very much?" Fang Yizhi asked again.

The four attendants nodded quickly, expressing that it was indeed the case, and their deputy envoys loved wine when they were in Wa.After arriving in Datang, I found that there are many types of wine here, and they taste better, so I drink almost every meal, and I have done a lot of research on some of the good wines in Datang.

"So that's the reason, and the murderer is because of this. It is expected that San Sanlang Daoyuan will definitely drink the green plum wine of his second cousin." Li Mingda paused, frowned and said, "It must be someone from the Changsun Mansion, and it is only from this mansion. Only those who know the location of second cousin's wine storage will be possible."

"It's easy, call all the servants and identify them." Fang Yi said straight.

Li Mingda immediately sent Tian Hanshan to deal with the matter, while she and Fang Yizhi went to Dayi Hall to wait.

After a stick of incense, more than a hundred male servants of the Changsun Mansion gathered outside the Dayi Hall, every 12 people grouped, and were identified one by one by the four attendants.But when it came to the last one, they didn't find the 'housekeeper' that day.

Immediately checked the number of people and found that one person was missing.

"Could it be Liu Shuyu? He said he had a stomachache, and he will come over later."

The guards immediately searched the whole house, and found Liu Shuyu, the steward, who was pretending to go to the toilet in the opinion latrine where the servant's room was.

This Liu Shuyu is in his early thirties. When he was 20 years old, because his family was poor, he was enslaved and came to Changsun Mansion to work. Now he is mainly responsible for the work in the garden.

Liu Shuyu was then escorted to Dayi Hall, and the followers of Sanjiro Daoyuan immediately recognized him.He took off his shoes and found a black plaster left on the soles.

When Liu Shuyu was escorted here, she was sweating profusely, with fear on her face.

Now that he saw that he had been exposed as the murderer, he breathed a sigh of relief, he was not as timid as before, and just yelled resignedly: "Dao Yuan San San Lang's beast was indeed killed by me!"
