Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

"A Taoist woman who often walks around the Jiangxia palace recognized her, and said that this woman is probably the concubine of the prince's son. When she went to the county palace to practice, she met two people playing and flirting in the back garden. The words she said were very explicit. ’” Yacha replied.

When Xiao Kai heard it, he hurriedly asked: "Break? What did you say specifically?"

The Yacha was embarrassed, and Princess Kanyan didn't know how to answer.

Yuchi Baoqi came later before he entered the door, and he was very upset when he heard Xiao Kai's words.Send Xiao Kai away if he doesn't like to stay, so as not to cause chaos.

"How can this be called adding to the confusion? I call it understanding the specific details of the case, so I am serious and responsible." Xiao Kai said with a smile, "Of course, you can also learn by the way."

"You worry too much, no one can beat you in this regard." Fang Yi said straight.

Yuchi Baoqi nodded, and hurriedly echoed Fang Yizhi, "That's true, last time I went to his house, I heard him talking to Meishi..."

"Shut up, okay, I was wrong, I'm not kidding anymore." Xiao Kai blushed in embarrassment, and slapped Yuchi Baoqi on the back hard.

Yuchi Baoqi coughed after being beaten, and turned to stare at Xiao Kai fiercely.

Xiao Kai grinned happily, his eyes continued to stare at Yuchi Baoqi, and then he patted him on the back again.

"We're all good brothers, let's let each other go." Xiao Kai added a word indistinctly in his laughter.

Yuchi Baoqi's back hurt from being slapped, and you couldn't get angry with him, so she knocked off Xiao Kai's arm with her hand while laughing.

"Since she is the concubine of Prince Jiang Xia, why is she running around in the palace?" Yuchi Baoqi asked immediately.

"When Shi Hongyu appeared, King Jiang Xia had already been demoted, and his family left the capital." Fang Yi replied seriously.

"That is to say, she is not only the concubine of Prince Jiang Xia, but if she is only favored by the concubine, she should go with her." Xiao Kai continued.

Yuchi Baoqi: "What you said is nonsense, if she is a simple concubine, will she set up a trick to seduce me?"

"If Shi Hongyu is really alive, and now her portraits are plastered all over the city to hunt her down, where will she hide?" After thinking about it, Li Mingda asked Fang Yizhi and others for their opinions.

"It's hard to say. Chang'an City is so big, she can find a place to hide at random, and it will be very difficult for us to find it." Xiao Kai said.

Yuchi Baoqi scolded Xiao Kai for being stupid, "You don't understand the case at first glance. Shi Hongyu has been smuggled out of Chang'an City by the old man who delivered the firewood. If it were me, I would naturally take a small path to escape. The world is big, no matter how many government officials there are. , then it’s hard to find her.”

"She won't." Li Mingda said, "She got your map from outside the city before. If she really wanted to run away and disappear, she could have left at that time. But she chose to come to Chang'an City and entered Fengyue Tower. "

"I know! Fengyuelou probably has someone on the street with her!" Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly replied.

Li Mingda shook his head, "It's unlikely. At that time, she already knew that someone was following her behind. And the tree stump in Fengyuelou, which can hide people, must be her backhand who was ready to get out of danger earlier. So the purpose of her going to Fengyuelou at that time was It should be just to get rid of the pursuers."

Xiao Kai had just arrived and didn't know much about the case.At the moment, he was flipping through the files to understand the case, and just happened to see Fengyuelou, and he sighed again and again: "The tree stump hides people is really powerful, and most people can't think of it. Your lord and Brother Yizhi are even more powerful, and they can break even this. But I think the case is simple at this point. As long as the insider is interrogated, the origin of Shi Hongyu is found out, and the case is closed."

"The insider is in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, you go to interrogate immediately." Li Mingda looked at Xiao Kai and waved him away.

Xiao Kai agreed, and called Yuchi Baoqi, who was the most skilled at using torture, and went there vigorously.

"Your lord, can the two of them be tried?" Tian Hanxi was also worried about this case and asked hopefully.

"It's best if it can be tried. If it can't be tried, it's good to frustrate Xiao Erlang's spirit. Although I hope it's the former, the actual result is probably the latter." Li Mingda sighed, and immediately discussed with Fang Yizhi What to do in one step.

Fang Yizhi: "If the insider refuses to admit it, and the clues are not enough, then we need to collect more clues from other sources."

Li Mingda pondered what his servant Yizhi said, and then looked at him with bright eyes, "Let's go to Fengyue Tower again."

Fang Yi nodded, "Now if there are any clues left behind, I'm afraid only the princess's discerning eyes will be able to see."

"Thank you for your compliment." Li Mingda smiled, and rode to Fengyue Tower with Fang Yizhi.

Li Ming was fine on the road anyway, so he told Fang Yizhi that she had told the saint about Zhou Xiaohe this morning, and the saint already intended to deal with Zhou Xiaohe.

"It doesn't matter." Fang Yi said straight, "As long as the family is peaceful."

"Madam Lu is annoyed?" Li Mingda asked.

Mentioning Lu's, Fang Yizhi's face was moved, "The whole Duke's mansion is about to be overturned by her anger."

"You are the eldest son he loves the most. This is more angry than her being calculated. It is understandable to be angry." Li Mingda laughed.

"It turns out that I don't have a princess who understands her." Fang Yi said straight.

"It seems that you don't understand women." Li Mingda said.

Fang Yi was startled, and when he looked at the princess again, he thought about it.

After the two arrived at Fengyue Tower, they went straight to the room where the four dumb brothers lived.The things in the room have been turned over and are a bit messy. Apart from some bedding and clothes, there are some sheep skulls hanging on the wall of the room, which is a bit scary at first glance.

After Li Mingda looked around, he walked to the bed and looked at the messy bedding.Turning her eyes to the gray-black ground, she squatted down and picked up a long hair from the ground.His hair was jet black and very shiny.

"This must not be the hair of their four brothers. The hair of the four brothers is a little yellow and not so shiny." Fang Yizhi remembered it clearly.

Li Mingda looked at it and thought, "Could it be Shi Hongyu's, but it's just a hair, I'm not sure."

Li Mingda threw his hair away, then turned his head to look under the bed, but found nothing special.

After getting up again, Li Mingda asked Tian Hanshan to turn over the quilt. The quilt was made of yellow and white rags. Although it was a little dirty, a piece of red rouge was clearly visible on the corner of the quilt.

Li Mingda asked Tian Hanshan to take the corner of the quilt to have a look, and after confirming that it was Rouge, he said to Fang Yi, "It must be that a woman has been here."

Fang Yi nodded his head.

Li Mingda then found several hairs on the mattress that were the same as the one on the ground.Then he went to look at the beds of several other brothers. Li Mingda also found the same color of rouge in different positions, and also had the same shiny black long hair.

Seeing this, Fang Yi said to Li Mingda: "It seems that the life of these three brothers is not monotonous. Besides cooking, they also have women."

"What kind of woman would you like to live with the four dumb brothers?" Li Mingda asked.

Fang Yi shook his head, "Not to mention anything else, if there is only one woman, it is enough to make people feel disgusted."

"It is certain that the four brothers must all be related to the same woman." Li Mingda judged based on the evidence in front of him.

Then Tian Hanshu went to look through the closet again. The four brothers all used the same closet, so there were a lot of clothes in the closet.Almost every piece inside was not washed very clean, and it looked like they washed it by themselves, which was careless.Some clothes were still stained with oil and some faint blood stains on the skirts, which should have been made during cooking.

Tian Hanshan clicked his tongue twice, raised his other fingers in disgust, and lifted the clothes with only two fingers.One by one, they were dug out from the messy cabinets and thrown on the ground.Li Mingda's eyes followed Tian Hanshan's hands, and looked at them one by one. Although he didn't find any clues for the time being, Li Mingda still maintained the serious attitude of a student to observe.

Finally, when the clothes were rummaged through, Tian Hanxuan saw that there was nothing useful, and regretted that he had rummaged for nothing.

"The cabinet is full of washed clothes. It's normal if you can't find anything." After Li Mingda finished speaking, he looked around the room again with his hands behind his back.His gaze finally settled on the string of sheep skulls hanging on the wall.

The ground in the room is dark, the walls are also dark, and the windows are small, so the light in the room is not very good and it looks very dark.

Now Li Mingda is getting closer to observe the string of sheep skulls, through the holes in the eyes, he can see that there seems to be something inside.

Li Mingda immediately asked the guards to take off the sheep's skull, and sure enough, he found a small hole in the wall behind the sheep's skull, and something green was stuffed into the hole.When I took it out, it turned out to be a woman's bellyband.There is still a mutton smell on it, and a faint rouge fragrance.

Li Mingda immediately recognized the source of this rouge fragrance, she whispered to Fang Yizhi: "It should be Shi Hongyu."

Fang Yi was surprised, then frowned and looked at the apron, then immediately looked away.

Li Mingda looked at his expression, as if something dirty had stained his eyes.She burst into laughter suddenly, although she was also very surprised by the result, but Li Mingda felt that it was quite fresh to see such an expression on Fang Yizhi's usually calm and indifferent face.

"There should be nothing to investigate in the house, please, my lord." Fang Yi stretched out his hand to signal, asking the princess to leave this dirty place as soon as possible.

After Li Mingda came out of the room, he went straight to the kitchen.The pot of mutton in the kitchen was still on hold, and it was already emitting a strong stench.Li Mingda went around there, and went to look at the chopping board for cutting vegetables.She found that the chopping board was uneven, and there was a little gap at the bottom.After asking someone to remove the chopping board, a piece of sheepskin was found under the chopping board.

Tian Hanshan tore off the sheepskin, revealing a piece of neatly folded red silk satin.Unfolding it turned out to be a bellyband.

"This!?" Tian Hanshu awkwardly carried the bellyband with a puzzled face.

Fang Yi sneered, "It seems that each of the four brothers probably has one piece. The four of them inevitably have different temperaments, so the methods of hiding things are also different. This chopping board should belong to the elder brother. Among the four, he has the best sword skills Alright, take care of chopping the vegetables."

Li Mingda nodded in admiration, thinking that Fang must have read the file carefully and memorized all the evidence about the four brothers.In this regard, she is far inferior to Fang Yizhi.

"Your lord, let's go quickly, it smells too bad here." Tian Hanshan worried that your lord would not be able to bear it, so he hurriedly said.

Fang Yizhi also agreed.

Li Mingda glanced at the bone-splitting ax on the edge of the chopping board, thinking that this ax must be the dead body of the boss.Then, she came out of the kitchen.

The group was about to leave when Li Mingda suddenly thought of a place, stopped and asked, "Is there another place I haven't gone to?"

Fang Yizhi: "Does your lord mean the cellar?"

Li Mingda nodded.

Fang Yizhi immediately asked someone to light up the lantern, and the group went to the cellar again.

The taste of the cellar is better than that of the kitchen, and the mutton was originally stored in it.All the mutton had been removed when the body pieces were found.

Now the cellar is empty and there is nothing in it, and the cellar is not too big. Four or five people can pick up lanterns and go in, and the cellar can be full and illuminated.

This time, because of the sufficient light, Li Mingda and the others found an iron ring fixed to the wall under the innermost wall of the cellar.The iron ring is not too big, about the size of a five or six-year-old child's fist.The outer ring is relatively black and it is in the corner, so it is not conspicuous, but the inner ring of the hoop is polished to a bright finish.

Li Mingda looked at the ground near the iron ring again. There were some straw residues, moldy steamed bun residue, and a conspicuous white sesame seed. This sesame seed should come from Hubing.Smell the smell in the room carefully, not only the smell of mutton residue, but also the smell of feces and urine.

Li Mingda frowned and looked at the ground in the corner.Although the soil on the surface has been leveled, it still looks relatively loose, and the color is different from the surrounding ground.

The smell of feces and urine came from that place, although it was not very strong, Li Mingda knew very well that there was something in that place before it was cleaned and filled.

Fang Yi saw that the princess had been staring at the corner of the wall, knowing that there was something different, so he asked if he wanted to dig it up.

"Let's dig, once there are clues." After Li Mingda came out, he said straight to Fang Yi, "The head we found in the pot, who died in place of Shi Hongyu, was probably imprisoned there by the four brothers before he died. If I'm not wrong, it turns out that there should be straw mats in that place."

"If you search carefully, you may find an iron chain." Li Mingda added.

As soon as she finished speaking, the guard in charge of digging in the cellar shouted that he had found it, and then he grabbed an iron chain stuck to the soil and presented it.Because the soil stuck to the iron chain smelled like manure, the guards only put it on the ground far away, not daring to get too close to the princess and Fang Shizi.

"Sure enough, as your lord expected." Fang Yi sighed.

"But I don't know the identity of the dead woman." Li Mingda frowned, feeling sorry for the woman's death, but she didn't even leave her name.

"Sooner or later we will know." Fang Yizhi comforted.

Li Mingda nodded, and then went to look at other places to make sure that nothing was missed this time before giving up.Li Mingda reflected that the investigation was not careful enough last time, and that many places were not taken care of.

Fang Yi smiled and said: "It's good to learn the lesson, we will know next time. From now on, everyone will be like this: after the crime, first check the corpse, then carefully check the scene, record it, and remember any tiny details. Let go."

Li Mingda nodded, telling Fang Yizhi to remind her next time.

Fang Yi agreed, and then discussed some possibilities with Li Mingda about today's discovery.

Tian Hanshan followed behind slowly, watching the two nobles chatting and discussing with each other, he muttered wonderingly: "Next time? How do you know there will be a next time? Don't be so dead again, how disgusting. "

The princess should have been dressed cleanly, gorgeously and beautifully, reading books, drinking tea, and eating some exquisite, beautiful and delicious food in the magnificent palace.Now, the princess, who should be pampered and enjoy herself well, has to rummage through the murderer's messy and dirty clothes, look at the disgusting body parts, and go to all kinds of smelly rooms.

It's not that Tian Hanshu dislikes the trouble of following the princess to investigate the case, he just loves the princess.The princess was raised by the saint since she was a child, and was favored by thousands of people. Now that she has suffered these crimes, he really feels distressed and uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.

Li Mingda got on his horse and turned around to see Tian Hanshan coming late.

"What are you thinking, so slow?" Li Mingda looked at Tian Hanshan's distressed face, looking like he was about to cry, and asked him with a smile, "Are you sick and uncomfortable? Then you should go back to the palace first. "

"I don't feel bad because I'm sick, I feel bad because I feel sorry for the princess." Tian Hanshan held his mouth slightly, his eyes turned red, "The last time I came to Fengyuelou, I wanted to tell the princess that this is the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It’s a job that we don’t want to do, or we won’t do it. It’s cooking human heads and eating human flesh. Today, we also encountered house arrest, one woman and four men, and so on. Your lord, you are a golden branch and jade leaf—— "

"Shut up, slap your mouth." Li Mingda said sharply.

Tian Hanshu was stunned for a moment, closed his open mouth, then knelt down, lowered his head, raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, apologizing and admitting his mistakes.

"I didn't make you kneel down, get up quickly." Li Mingda looked down at her and said.

Tian Hanshu sniffled, and got up honestly again.

"What kind of mess are you doing today, if you don't want to be with me, go back quickly." After Li Mingda finished speaking, he immediately told Fang Yizhi to leave for Jiangxia Palace immediately, and she also wanted to see Shi Hongyu's original residence.

Fang Yizhi nodded in agreement, Li Mingda immediately left with a whip.

Tian Hanshan honestly grabbed the reins and got on the horse, naturally he continued to follow the princess.

Fang Yizhi did not ride away immediately, but waited for Tian Hanxi at the same place.

"I understand what you're thinking." Fang Yi said straight.

Tian Hanshan got on his horse and looked at Fang Yizhi who was walking side by side with a very surprised expression.Because in his opinion, it is unlikely that a proud and virtuous boy like Fang Yizhi would take him seriously and talk to him in private.

Tian Hanshu looked at Fang Yizhi with some emotion, "Your Majesty, do you really understand what I mean? I'm not complaining, I just feel sorry for the princess."

"But have you ever thought that the load of peaches you want to give her is not what she wants. You think she should eat peaches for her own good, but she just wants to eat a date."

Tian Hanshan was startled again and again, what Fang Shizi said was simple and clear, he understood it immediately, Tian Hanshan immediately reflected on himself and fell into reflection.When he figured it out, he raised his head excitedly to thank Fang Shizi, only to find that Fang Shizi was no longer in sight.

Tian Hanshan looked around, and the princess and Fang Shizi were already riding their horses to the end of the street.

Tian Hanshan relaxed, and hurriedly chased after her with a whip, his mouth returned to the previous lively, and he yelled with a smile to tell the "principal" to wait for her.

After Li Mingda heard Tian Hanshan's voice, she deliberately slowed down the speed of the horse, but she didn't turn her head to respond to Tian Hanshan.

Li Mingda just tilted his head slightly, looked at Fang Yizhi, and asked him, "What did you just tell him?"

"Nineteenth Lang didn't go far at that time, he must have heard it all, and he still needs to repeat it?"

Li Mingda collected himself, "You know I can hear you, and you dare to openly say good things to bribe my subordinates."

With a smile in his eyes, Fang Yizhi looked at Li Mingda warmly.

Li Mingda told him not to feel guilty at all, and still with a straight face, he questioned Fang Yizhi, "Tell me, what's on your mind?"

Fang Yizhi then turned his head and looked behind him.

Li Mingda looked at him in surprise, and felt that Fang Yizhi was rude for the first time, "I'm talking to you."

Only then did Fang Yi turn his head to look at Li Mingda, with a good-tempered smile still on the corner of his mouth.

"Nineteen Lang is right."

"What do you mean? You mean it? You mean you are buying my followers?" Li Mingda was even more surprised by Fang Yizhi's answer.

"Yes." Fang Yi nodded straight, "With some caution, I hope he will at least not speak ill of me in Nineteen Lang's ears in the future."

Li Mingda was suddenly speechless by Fang Yizhi's frankness.

"Are you so nervous that he speaks ill of you?"

"Palace people, it's almost something they are born with to observe the words and colors, and adapt to the situation. They are best at speaking according to the master's mind. I am afraid that one day Jiujiu Lang will misunderstand me, and Eunuch Tian will add fire at a critical moment. , I can’t be saved.” Fang Yizhi explained, his eyes kept looking at Li Mingda when he was speaking, shining brightly.

"It's hopeless, it's just a misunderstanding, and you won't be sentenced to death, just wait until the misunderstanding is resolved!" Li Mingda explained.

"I'm afraid of being sentenced to death in Jiujiu Lang's heart." Fang Yi raised the corners of his mouth, smiling a little worriedly.

Li Mingda looked at him curiously, "I thought Tian Hanxi was the only one who was abnormal today, so you are too."

Fang Yi couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you afraid that I will sentence you to death in my heart? I am very important to you? Or did you do something that I will definitely misunderstand?" Li Mingda asked successively.

Fang Yi shook his head.

"Then what are you trying to do!" Li Mingda was confused by Fang Yizhi.

"Plan for a rainy day."

"Huh?" Li Mingda's doubts were not resolved, but became more serious.

Fang Yizhi: "It's because I didn't do well, I'll let Shi Jiulang understand in the future."

Li Mingda blinked, "I understood quite well at first, but it was your words that confused me."

Fang Yizhi was rude to Li Mingda.

Li Mingda sighed, and simply waved his hands, "Forget it, don't worry about it, we're investigating the case, and the place is here."

Li Mingda parked Mahler in front of Jiangxia Palace.

Tian Hanxi came after panting.He quickly rolled off the horse, and then ran to Li Mingda's horse to hold the rein.

Li Mingda glanced at Tian Hanshan, originally with a cold face, but seeing Tian Hanshan smiling, with a very gratifying look, she couldn't help but smile.

After Tian Hanshu waited for Li Mingda to dismount, he hurriedly followed the princess, introspected himself, and apologized to her.Tian Hanshan quickly said that he realized what the princess really needed, and he would never be self-righteous in the future, and would absolutely obey the princess' wishes in everything, and would not make arbitrary claims or impose dissuasion.

Li Mingda's words to Tian Hanshan were very useful, so he didn't say anything else, but sent him to serve him well and do what he said.

Tian Hanshan agreed, slapped his lips, and said in tears: "Your master treats the slave with kindness, but the slave is arrogant and doesn't know what to do. He deserves to die. A slave is supposed to obey the master's orders in everything, but the slave is so arrogant because he is valued by the princess. If you trust, you will think highly of yourself, and you will be arrogant..."

Li Mingda raised his hand, really couldn't understand Tian Hanshu's words, and signaled him not to say any more. "If you were as you said, I wouldn't have kept you here long ago. I know you mean well, but you just love to worry about extra things and break your mouth. If you know your mistake, let it go. Don't bring it up again."

Tian Hanshu shut up obediently and nodded in agreement.

After entering Jiangxia Palace, Li Mingda went straight to the back house.

But the Jiangxia Palace has now been sealed off, and no one is there.In this huge mansion, there are hundreds of rooms in the back house alone, but it is hard to know which one is Shi Hongyu's room.

Fang Yi had already anticipated this, and said to Li Mingda: "Jiangxia Wang moved his family far away, and he will definitely not take away all the servants. Just now I have sent people to find those followers who were sent away from the palace."

Li Mingda agreed, and sighed that Fang Yi was very thoughtful.It happened that the scenery in the garden of the palace's back house was also good, and they had just come out of such a dirty place in Fengyue Tower. In contrast, they felt that the environment here was more beautiful, with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, refreshing.It's time to take a good walk, wash your eyes here, and relax your body and mind by the way.

Li Mingda sat down in the gazebo in the forest, smelling the fresh grass and trees in the forest, his mood relaxed a lot.

It happened that a dead branch fell on the stone table of the gazebo. Li Mingda picked it up and folded it into a short wooden stick.She put a thick one up first.

"Shi Hongyu."

Then he put four thin ones at the bottom, representing the four dumb brothers of Fengyuelou, and then he put one thin and one thick one beside the four thin ones, the thin ones represented the old man who gave firewood, and the thick ones On behalf of Jiangxia Wang Shizi.Next to the wooden stick representing Shi Hongyu, Li Mingda put another curved one, representing the dead princess of the Wa Kingdom.Finally, she put a golden dead leaf on top of Shi Hongyu and Princess Wa, representing the gold mine map.

Li Mingda looked at the sticks and leaves on the stone table, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Fang Yizhi over there.

Although she didn't explain it in detail, Fang Yizhi clearly understood the meaning of "arrangement" on her table.

"What do you think?"

"Shi Hongyu is the key, all the clues stop here."

Li Mingda nodded in agreement.

Fang Yi turned around and saw that Li Mingda was lost in thought again, and asked her what was wrong.

Li Mingda looked at him with his chin in his hands, "Suddenly thought... what does it mean to plan ahead."

Fang Yi's eyes froze, and then he smiled and said nothing.Fang Yi stood upright like that, but combined with the desolate forest behind him, it was like a painting.

"You don't like to talk so much, which daughter will marry you in the future, won't you have internal injuries?" Li Mingda's eyes were probing, but his mouth was half-joking.

This statement immediately attracted Fang Yizhi to look at Li Mingda intently, after careful consideration, he just smiled.

Li Mingda said again, "Look at you, you are still a little bit unconvinced. If you don't believe me, just wait and see if your wife will complain about you in the future. If I am right, remember to prepare two taels of gold, and kowtow to apologize to me." My lord, I was wrong, I should have been convinced at the beginning'."

Fang Yi couldn't help laughing, his eyes were burning, "I didn't understand before, why the princess bullied Wei Shuyu like that when she was a child, but she didn't see the shadow of her childhood when she grew up. Today, Yi Zhi finally understands."

"What do you understand?" Li Mingda asked curiously.

"I understand that the princess has not changed, but she has hidden her naughty temper even deeper when she was a child."

"Ah, are you saying that I bullied you just now?" Li Mingda reacted.

Fang Yi always acquiesced.

Li Mingda blinked, "How could it be? I was just joking with you just now. It's just a bet. If you turn around and marry a wife, you may not be willing to admit it if I say so, so come over and kowtow to admit it to me. Whoever can really do this kind of thing is a real gentleman.”

"Your lord, is this trying to provoke me?" Fang Yi couldn't believe it.

Li Mingda smiled sweetly and shook his head, "No, no, you are worrying too much. But you are not young, isn't Mrs. Lu busy arranging your marriage?"

Fang Yi shook his head.

"How is it possible, Mrs. Lu cares about you so much, how can she forget such an important matter." Li Mingda paused, then moved his eyeballs, and continued with Fang Yizhi, "Actually, it's better to settle it earlier , there will be no more things like Zhou Xiaohe, causing you trouble for no reason."

Fang Yizhi: "It's not that I didn't make a fuss, it's that I didn't like it. Yizhi's ideal person is extraordinary."

"Tell me, who is she and how unusual she is." Li Mingda stared at him closely, as if confirming something.

"Nineteenth Lang didn't know?" Fang Yi asked directly.

"I know?" Li Mingda's heart skipped a beat, and then he stared at Fang Yizhi, asking him to say it again.

"Stop talking, it's my incompetence to let the other party know by talking." Fang Yi said straight.

"It makes sense, we should do it!" Li Mingda looked at Fang Yizhi meaningfully and smiled.Then she continued to hold her chin, thinking about the 'arrangement' on the table.

Fang Yi raised his eyes and saw that the princess was concentrating on analyzing the case again.Smiling lightly, he focused on his eyes, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Lin Feng burst into silence, and the two were thinking about each other.

Tian Hanshan stood aside and frowned, always feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with the conversation between your lord and Fang Shizi, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't understand what was wrong.Maybe he is right, but his mind is wrong now...

At this time, the yamen who had been ordered to go out to find someone earlier came back and returned with three former attendants from the palace.

Li Mingda asked them to show Shi Hongyu's portrait.Three attendants, two women and one man.However, the two female servants do not know Shi Hongyu, and only the male servant has an impression of Shi Hongyu.

"I was a messenger in the palace. Once I delivered a letter to the prince's study, I seemed to have seen this woman next to the prince. Although it was only a casual glance at the time, the woman's appearance was too amazingly beautiful, so I still remember it to this day. "

"The study...then do you know where she lives?" Li Mingda asked.

The servant shook his head, expressing his ignorance.

Li Mingda asked the two maids what kind of work they had done in the palace.

The two answered immediately.One of them sweeps the yard and the other takes care of the garden.

"Then have you ever heard others say that there is an unusually beautiful woman beside Shizi?"

Both maids shook their heads blankly, indicating that they hadn't heard of it.

Li Mingda had nothing to ask, so he got up and went directly to the study of Prince Jiang Xia.

The study of the prince of the county is naturally elegantly furnished.Although many calligraphy, paintings and ornaments have been cleaned up, the once luxurious appearance of the place can still be discerned.

Li Mingda and Fang Yizhi went to check every corner of the study.Tian Hanshu then found a neatly folded woman's clothes on the bed.After opening the dress for a look, Li Mingda and Fang Yizhi were stunned at the same time.

"Immediately withdraw the people in front of the mansion, put up the seals, and the rest of the people block all the exits into the palace, conduct a thorough search to see if she is still hiding in the mansion." Li Mingda immediately ordered.

Tian Hanshan also recognized that this dress was the one Shi Hongyu wore when he cheated on Yuchi Baoqi in the mountains.This means that after Shi Hongyu successfully escaped from Fengyue Tower, she returned to Chang'an City, and lived in the Jiangxia Prince's Mansion that was just seized?

What courage!

"However, it's good to hide here. There is no one in the huge mansion, living in luxury and comfort." Li Mingda sighed.

Fang Yi directly agreed, "This woman is downright daring."

"Master! There is a box under the bed." The guards reported their discovery.

After the box was lifted out, it happened to be placed in front of Li Mingda.Li Mingda stretched out his hand to open it, but Fang Yi yelled "Wait a minute", fearing that it would be too late, he hurriedly pressed Li Mingda's hand and the lid of the box.

"What's wrong?" Li Mingda asked, looking at Fang Yizhi holding her right hand, she could clearly feel the temperature of Fang Yizhi's palm at this moment, and her face suddenly became hot.

After Fang Yizhi and Li Mingda looked at each other, he unhurriedly withdrew his hand, bent his fingers and tapped on the surface of the box.

"This box is probably equipped with traps." Fang Yi said straight.

"Organ?" Li Mingda was surprised.

"Look, Nineteenth Lang. The lid of this box is twice as wide as that of ordinary ones. I once saw a carpenter who knows how to make a mechanism box and made a kind of mechanism box. The appearance of the box looks similar to this box, except that The only difference is the size of the lid."

Li Mingda nodded and stopped, and sent someone to invite a better carpenter to handle it carefully.

Soon the guards who searched the mansion came back and said that they did not find anyone else hiding in the mansion.

Li Mingda ordered people to continue to lurk in the attached middle school, in case Shi Hongyu came back, she left with the people and the box, and Fang Yi followed closely.

When the two returned to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Xiao Kai and Yuchi Baoqi had already finished torturing.

"What's the result?"

Xiao Kai shook his head guiltily, apologizing to Li Mingda.

"I didn't expect us to use both soft and hard methods. No matter how much we torture them, it won't work. What can your lord gain from this trip?"

Li Mingda told Xiao Kai what happened.

Then the carpenter came and the box was opened.Sure enough, a mechanism was found on the top of the box. As long as the box was opened by a normal person, poisonous arrows could be ejected. The poison quenched above was applied to a small wound on the chicken, and it could be killed immediately.

Unfortunately, the box turned out to be empty.There is nothing in such a cleverly designed box.

From the moment Fang Yi saw the empty box, his eyes narrowed, and a layer of anger appeared on his face.

Li Mingda also realized, "She had discovered the portraits on the street a long time ago, and knew that we would find the palace. So she deliberately put an empty box with organs and a folded piece of clothing there to lure us into the bait. Fang Shizi, Is she provoking us?"
