Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

"Who is this Shi Hongyu? He is so bold?" Xiao Kai asked curiously.

"Didn't you read the file?" Yuchi Baoqi gave him a disgusted look, feeling that Xiao Kai was always asking nonsense.

"I mean her real identity." Xiao Kai sighed.

"We want to know his true identity, so why don't we use a saint to send you here again?" Yuchi Baoqi confronted him. Ever since Xiao Kai spoke improperly in front of the princess, Yuchi Baoqi was angry and disapproved on him.

Xiao Kai was stunned for a moment, and asked Yuchi Baoqi what happened today, "I'm in a bad mood? I usually make big jokes and fight around, but I haven't seen you angry. Just make a little joke today, you seem to be like me It's like having a grudge, always confront me."

"It depends on you not pleasing to the eye, what's the matter? If you have an opinion, go immediately and don't appear in front of me."

"Hey, if you say you're choked up, you're even more choked up. I came here by holy order, you can't drive me away." Xiao Kai thought about how Yuchi Baoqi had given way to him before, and this time it was his turn to let him go back. It should be, so I still have a good temper and apologize.

Yuchi Baoqi didn't appreciate it, and even gave him a glare.Xiao Kai was not happy, so he had to argue with him again.

Li Mingda felt a little helpless when he saw the two people bickering.Suddenly, she remembered her father's previous order not to let Yuchi Baoqi get too involved with this case.Although Li Mingda felt that Yuchi Baoqi didn't need to avoid suspicion as his father said, but the sacred order must not be violated, since it was promised, it must be obeyed.

"There is something that you two are responsible for." Li Mingda said.

Yuchi Baoqi and Xiao Kai looked at Li Mingda at the same time, their expressions suddenly became serious, waiting for the princess's order.

"Shi Hongyu has never been found. Even if there are no clues, we can't sit still. Two points: one is to strictly guard the city gate and investigate carefully to ensure that Shi Hongyu will not escape outside Chang'an City. Yuchi Erlang is in charge of this matter. Second, search the entire city. In Chang'an City, try to find Shi Hongyu's hiding place as much as possible. Xiao Erlang, you will be responsible for this matter."

"This..." The two made the same embarrassed voice at the same time.

"It's hard, isn't it? But if it's not difficult, these two tasks won't be assigned to you. I just need to find a capable person to do it. I don't worry. I believe in the ability of the two of you, and I'll wait for you here News." Li Mingda said to the two confidently.

Yuchi Baoqi suddenly gained momentum, and hurriedly cupped his hands to promise Li Mingda that he will definitely do this task well and will never disappoint the princess' expectations of him.After that, he glanced at Xiao Kai provocatively.

Xiao Kai didn't want to be compared by Yuchi Baoqi, so he quickly said to Li Mingda: "Although Chang'an City is big, it is the place where I grew up playing and growing up. I have been crazy since I was a child, and I like to run around. Among the children of aristocratic families I know Chang'an City best, so it is most suitable for me to entrust this matter to me. Don't worry, your lord, I will try my best to find that femme fatale Shi Hongyu. I really want to see what this powerful woman is like."

Li Mingda nodded and smiled encouragingly at the two of them.After that, Yuchi Baoqi and Xiao Kai resigned vigorously, and began to prepare for the task they just took over.

The room finally fell silent.

"Finally it's gone." Li Mingda breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Wu Zuo if he knew what kind of poison was on the arrow.

"It's like poison, but it needs to be checked again to be sure."

Li Mingda nodded and told him to report immediately after confirmation.

Fang Yizhi has obtained the latest investigation report from the Yacha since he came back.Old man Zhang, who delivered firewood to Fengyuelou, had a wife and son in his family, but because he was a door-to-door son-in-law, the children did not take his surname.His wife is also a well-known shrew in the village, who committed adultery, but old man Zhang dared not say a word.Now his wife is still living with the adulterer with their children, saying that they have reconciled with old man Zhang.But the yamen went to the local yamen to investigate the files, but they didn't find the two people's Helishu.

"So this old man was cuckolded and still swallowed his anger?" Li Mingda asked in surprise.

"Is the relationship between Shi Hongyu and old man Zhang..." Fang Yi looked straight at Li Mingda.

"If you just ask, you will know." Li Mingda immediately ordered someone to call old man Zhang.

The small official of the Ministry of Punishment was in charge of asking the question directly. The old man Zhang was startled for a moment. After dodging his eyes, his expression became complicated, but he did not admit it.

After observing the old man Zhang's expression, Li Mingda winked at the little official again.

The little official showed the two bellybands to old man Zhang and asked him, "Do you recognize these two things?"

Old man Zhang looked at the apron, his expression was a little excited, and his eyes were staring hard.

No matter how stupid people are, they can also find that Old Man Zhang's expression is wrong at this moment. Obviously, these two bellybands can stimulate Old Man Zhang.

The little official had long been fed up with old man Zhang's stubbornness, seeing his expression was wrong now, knowing that his relationship with Shi Hongyu must be unclear, he couldn't help sneering.

"Do you know where we found these two bellybands?"

Old man Zhang looked at the little official suspiciously, as if eager to know the answer.

The little official didn't say anything, but looked at Li Mingda questioningly.He still dare not do this master, it depends on what the princess wants.

"What did you do to her? What did you do?" Old man Zhang got up suddenly, and he lost his previous honesty, just like a mad cow, and suddenly rushed towards the little official.

The little official was looking at the princess, but didn't notice the situation on Old Man Zhang's side.Old man Zhang was so fast that people were caught off guard.He threw himself on the little official's back, and then strangled his neck with his arms.Seeing this, the surrounding guards rushed to pull old man Zhang, but old man Zhang still hugged the little official tightly like a piece of sticky cake.At this time, the little official was strangled by him, unable to breathe, and his face was flushed.

Seeing this, Cheng Chubi snatched the wooden staff from the yamen's hand, and hit old man Zhang sharply and sharply on the back twice.Old man Zhang screamed in pain, and his hand loosened.Cheng Chubi lightly poked old man Zhang's side with the tip of his wooden stick again. Old man Zhang yelled again, and let go of his hand completely. He covered his side waist and fell to the ground, straightening while rolling. The door hurts.

Afterwards, the old man Zhang's voice finally died down after he was still being scolded by the Yacha.

The little official who was strangled held his neck and coughed for a long time before the redness on his face gradually subsided.

"You farmer looking for death, see if I don't kick you to death!" The clerk who was strangled angrily stepped forward and kicked old man Zhang several times.

Old man Zhang lay on the ground, curled up like a shrimp.Perhaps it was because Cheng Chubi's strikes were ruthless before, which caused him too much pain, but the little official kicked him a few times later, which seemed like tickling in comparison, so he didn't arouse much reaction.

Seeing this, the petty official became even angrier and wanted to stop, but was stopped by Fang Yizhi's cough.

The little official regained his composure, and continued to interrogate old man Zhang: "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, we didn't capture Shi Hongyu."

Old man Zhang, who was already determined to die, finally cleared up his slack eyes after hearing these words, and regained his energy.

"We found these two bellybands on the bed of the four brothers. Old man Zhang, do you know that you are sharing a woman with the four cook brothers?"

"You're talking nonsense!" old man Zhang roared.

"That's the truth, I'm not afraid to call someone to confront you." After Li Mingda said that, he immediately ordered the four mute brothers to be brought up.

Old man Zhang was honest when he heard this, probably he also wanted to know the answer.

In view of old man Zhang's previous agitation, the four brothers who were cooks in Fengyuelou were still wearing handcuffs and ankles when they were brought up.

The four brothers were immediately reprimanded to kneel in the lobby, awaiting interrogation.

When the four brothers saw the apron, they were stunned and became angry.Among them, there were two people who reacted most strongly, the eldest and the third.The red bellyband was hidden under the chopping board, as expected by Fang Yizhi, it belonged to the boss.

Li Mingda also noticed that the expressions of the remaining two brothers were different, and he looked down with his eyes narrowed, with a lot of defensiveness in his eyes.

Li Mingda glanced at the clothes of the four brothers, and remained silent for the time being, without speaking.

The little official dangled the red and green bellyband in front of the four brothers again, causing the boss to burst into red eyes, open his mouth angrily, and hiss hissing sound caused by the flow of breath in his throat.He jumped forward excitedly, but because the guards had already prepared this time, he was immediately grabbed by the collar with his hands, leaving him nowhere to jump.

When old man Zhang saw this scene, he almost went crazy.He froze, unable to believe what he saw, but had to believe what he saw.He didn't know what expression to make, and there was a hint of enlightenment in his eyes, but more anger, bewilderment and helplessness.

Li Mingda was not in a hurry to question old man Zhang, but ordered the guards to search for the second and fourth children.As soon as the second and fourth child heard this, they began to struggle excitedly, and four guards came out to control and search them, and this was considered completed.Finally, aprons were found on the two of them. This time, the aprons were white.

As expected by Fang Yizhi, this bellyband is one for each of the four brothers.Each of the four has its own way of hiding. Like the second and fourth, it is more common to carry "precious" objects of love with them.

The four brothers were very excited, and the old man Zhang was even more excited.

Only then did Li Mingda look sideways at Old Man Zhang, and asked him, "Do you still want to protect her?"

Old man Zhang was trembling all over, gritted his teeth bitterly.

After hearing this, the four brothers looked at old man Zhang without knowing why.

Old man Zhang's trembling became more and more violent, and finally stopped. His chest suddenly jumped up, his eyes were bulging, and his face was ferocious.After being quiet for a while, he suddenly let out a loud howl, and he collapsed on the ground with his buttocks pouted, followed by continuous crying.

"She... how could she be such a person! How could she treat me like this!" The old man Zhang, who had regained his composure, patted his thigh and cried and howled.

The four brothers were all startled by the old man Zhang's actions, and looked at the old man quietly at the same time.Trying to understand why old man Zhang collapsed so much from his words.

The four brothers understood some, but some didn't.Until the little official told them clearly that Shi Hongyu had also had an affair with old man Zhang.

The four brothers opened their mouths in surprise, looked at each other, and made eye contact.Afterwards, the boss compared the three younger brothers with his hands for a long time, and the four of them became quiet at the same time, and lowered their heads.

Even though no one at the scene understood his dumb language, everyone probably understood what he was trying to express from their facial expressions.Moreover, the sudden quiet performance of the four brothers is enough to explain their attitude.

Li Mingda and Fang Yizhi exchanged glances.Fang Yizhi immediately ordered the four brothers to be taken away.

When the four brothers were taken away, they all stared at old man Zhang, threatening them viciously.

Old man Zhang glanced at them, shrinking his neck, looking a little scared.

"These four brothers are different from you. If they commit murder, they will definitely die. As long as you confess, there is still a way to survive." Li Mingdayou said.

Old man Zhang lowered his head and said foolishly, "I'm not afraid of death. I don't have much meaning in living."

"Then you can think clearly, are you sure you want to die for a woman who deceives you like this?" Li Mingda continued to ask.

Hearing this, old man Zhang showed more hesitation on his face, but he didn't open his mouth to confess.It was probably because of the performance of the four brothers just now that he hesitated, wondering whether he should say it or not.

"Your magnanimity is really admirable." Fang Yi asked the old man to help Zhang get up, instead of kneeling all the time.

Old man Zhang had been kneeling for a long time, and his legs were really sore. It would be better for him to get up and stretch, so his expression was a little relaxed.

"She is at least the second woman who cuckolded you." Fang Yizhi said suddenly.

Old man Zhang's relaxed expression turned from white to green.His lips trembled a little, but his eyes were dim and he dared not look at anyone.It's shameful, embarrassing, and embarrassing to be said that.He was very quiet, but there was a faint anger all over his body, like the calm before the storm, making people feel that he was likely to explode crazily in the next moment.

Fang Yizhi directly poked old man Zhang's weakness.

Looking at his humble and elegant appearance, it is really unexpected that he is such a black-mouthed person.Normally, Yizhi in the trial case is not very talkative, but when he opens his mouth right now, it is so exciting that people want to commit suicide.

Old man Zhang pursed his lips and clenched his fists angrily. The grievance and anger finally accumulated to the highest point, and he suddenly roared, "She lied to me! If I know she is this kind of woman, give me a load of gold." , I won't have anything to do with her. I think it's dirty! It's disgusting! You pretend to be innocent in front of me, so disgusting, so disgusting..."

Old man Zhang is poor at words, and he can't describe too much, so he keeps repeating that he is disgusting.

"If you cover up your crimes for the disgusting woman you said, then what are you? You are not only disgusting, but also stupid than her, and you are being used without knowing it." Fang Yi sneered.

Old man Zhang blushed, he looked at Fang Yizhi dissatisfied, and then knelt down for Li Mingda with a plop. "Caomin is willing to confess! Caomin did know Shi Hongyu. That day in Fengyuelou, it was Caomin who helped hide Shi Hongyu in the rough wood, so that he escaped the pursuit and escaped successfully."

"Did you bring the wood there on purpose that day, or did you bring it every day? You probably couldn't predict that she was in danger in advance. The hunt happened by accident, but your plan to help her escape seems to have been prepared. I'm very surprised, this How did you do it?" Li Mingda asked.

Old man Zhang: "That piece of wood was not transported by Caomin with the firewood cart that day. It was originally placed in Fengyuelou in case of emergency. I also went to deliver firewood as usual that day. I didn't know until I saw her when I arrived. There was an accident. Then according to the previous preparations, the four mute brothers helped to lift the wood into my car, and Shi Hongyu got in. We covered the bark, modified it, and then transported it out."

Li Mingda nodded, and then asked old man Zhang to tell the story of how he and Shi Hongyu got married, and how he got to this point.

Old man Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and began to speak carefully sentence by sentence.

Old man Zhang was originally an honest and wimpy person, but he was also angry in his heart. He had endured for many years when his wife blatantly cuckolded him, but finally he couldn't help it.Two months ago, he and his wife failed to reach an agreement in the end, and in a fit of anger, he wanted to hang himself from a crooked neck tree by the roadside.But when he hung up the rope, he was suddenly stopped by a beautiful woman who appeared.Old man Zhang had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life, as if she was a fairy descended from the sky.

The old man Zhang was fascinated by it, so he easily listened to her lobbying and no longer wanted to die.When it was dark, the fairy followed him home, cooked for him, and took care of him.Seeing such a beautiful woman doing all the work for him, old man Zhang was instantly satisfied.He was reluctant to let her do rough work, so he cooked a table of delicious meals for her by himself.The fairy ate very happily and kept praising him for his good craftsmanship, which made him very happy.The fairy also wiped the sweat off his brow with its fragrant handkerchief, and his heart was pounding, feeling that everything in front of him was like a dream.Later, the fairy grabbed his hand and persuaded him softly, telling him not to seek death, and asking him to live for her if he couldn't find a reason to live.

Old man Zhang felt that he was picked up for earning his life anyway, and if he could live for such a beautiful and kind fairy in the future, it would be a blessing from his eight lifetimes of cultivation.Old man Zhang agreed immediately.The fairy smiled and patted him on the head, praising him as the best man in the world, the most loyal man, and the man who would never betray him.Old man Zhang smiled and agreed that he did.The fairy made old man Zhang swear to repeat what he said just now.Old man Zhang followed suit.

That night, they lit firewood and made fire, and there was a cloud and rain.The fairy kept praising old man Zhang on the bed.It made old man Zhang feel that the self who was demoted to nothing by his wife turned out to be a shining person in the eyes of other beautiful women.He finally has a meaning to live, and that is to live for his fairy.

It was not until the next morning that old man Zhang knew that the fairy's name was Shi Hongyu.Then he knew that the fairy was doing something that he had never dared to think about before.

"What's the matter?" Li Mingda asked.

"She said that she was an assassin, an assassin who was trained by a noble person from a young age, and only killed those powerful and prominent. But he told me that she only kills those dog officials who bully the people with their power, not for sex. Ask me Forgive her, believe her. I know she has a lot of involuntary things, and what she did was a chivalrous thing. She said he didn't want to implicate me, and she wanted to go. I refused, and I swore several times to keep her and die I promised her that I would never disclose her identity to the outside world. But now that I never thought that she betrayed and used me first, then my promise to her is countless." Old man Zhang gritted his teeth bitterly.

Fang Yizhi had no way of understanding how old man Zhang was cheated.That Shi Hongyu's performance was full of loopholes, obviously premeditated, he didn't see it at all, it is really puzzling.

"Serial tricks." Li Mingda understood and nodded.

Fang Yi looked at her suspiciously.

Li Mingda felt Fang Yizhi's gaze, and found that he really didn't understand, so he felt a little funny.Thinking about it, Fang Yizhi is such a smart person, he probably won't understand the thoughts of ordinary people.

Li Mingda wanted to finish the matter in front of him quickly, and finally asked old man Zhang how to contact Shi Hongyu usually, and if he knew who Shi Hongyu worked for.

Old man Zhang shook his head, "She didn't say anything, she just said that the master she obeyed is very powerful and can control people's life and death at will. As long as she completes ten more tasks, her master will release her, and then she can be with me Changxiang stayed together. As for how to see her, she only said that she would occasionally appear in Fengyuelou, which was her master's property, and asked me to deliver firewood to Fengyuelou. When I miss her, I will probably see her occasionally .”

"How many times have you seen her in the past two months?"

"Three times, twice in Fengyue Tower, she took a look at me and left, saying that she wanted to deliver a letter to her master. Another time was late at night, and she went to my house on the way to perform a mission, and brought me a lot of delicious food. Have some money and let me take care of myself before I ride away."

"Would a woman as beautiful as her be willing to stay with you forever, and you have never been pregnant?" Li Mingda asked again.

Old man Zhang swallowed hard, nodded sadly, "Think about it, but she said that she has seen through the flashy hypocrisy of those wealthy people, and she likes my honesty."

Li Mingda: "You are really honest and honest, but she is very good at lying to you based on the facts." This is really easy to convince.After all, no matter how useless a person is, they will long in their hearts to be affirmed.

Li Mingda then asked a lot of questions, but the old man Zhang didn't know anything, and asked if there was anything else he wanted to add, even if it was some details, the old man Zhang shook his head and said that he had already explained everything.

Li Mingda asked the clerk to re-read the recorded confession to the illiterate old man Zhang, and then asked the old man to sign it.Looking back at the trial, they will reduce the sentence as appropriate according to the old man Zhang's voluntary confession.

Afterwards, Li Mingda and Fang Yizhi left the courtroom, went to the side hall to drink tea and rest, discussing the results of the interrogation just now.

"Thinking about the four dumb brothers, Shi Hongyu used a similar method to control them." Li Mingda sighed, "It is estimated that she was alone with the four dumb brothers at the same time...so in the matter of the cuckold, the four brothers can bear it and accept it. The old man Zhang and the four dumb brothers have something in common, they are not good at socializing, they are humiliated and despised, and they have no women around them."

Fang Yi frowned, "So they get dizzy when they meet a beautiful woman, and they don't even have the basic ability to distinguish right from wrong?"

"Not everyone is like you." Li Mingda sighed, "It's like people who are hungry and want to eat, and you tell him it's stuffed with mutton. They are too hungry, and they are in a hurry to eat, so of course they choose to believe it and swallow it indiscriminately." Even if you put it down, you won’t notice that there’s rat meat in it.”

Fang Yi always felt that Li Mingda explained the image satirically, so he nodded in agreement with Li Mingda.

"What is the purpose of this Shi Hongyu's behavior? Just to get the map?" Li Mingda discussed with Fang Yi in doubt, "When she goes up to the prince of the county, down to the cook, and the old man who chops firewood, how does she eat?" Can I go?"

"This is what makes her 'extraordinary'. A person who is willing to deal with him must be a difficult character." Fang Yi said straight.

"But what is her purpose in doing this?"

"One thing is certain, after she got the map of the gold mine, she wanted to get rid of the golden cicada's shell and escape with death, but we saw through it. This later organ box is probably out of hatred for us, or to get rid of obstacles She is a smart opponent going forward." Fang Yizhi analyzed.

"She is indeed extraordinary. She dared to be so cruel to herself and provoke the government." Li Mingda couldn't help sighing when he mentioned the secret box. If you don't pay attention, you will die."

"In the future, the work that may be dangerous, your lord, should be handed over to your subordinates." Fang Yizhi finished his instructions, and seeing that Li Mingda did not respond, he continued, "It's not that I am ruthless, just like what happened today, if your lord What an accident, all the attendants present would not be able to escape death. But if a guard opened the box, at most one person would die. Counting the number of lives, your lord should know which is more important."

Li Mingda turned his head to look at Fang Yizhi, seeing his cold expression, he knew that he was annoyed by this matter.Li Mingda nodded in agreement: "Your words are too calm and sound a bit heartless, but the truth, I accept it, and I will pay attention to it in the future."

"Very good." Fang Yi said bluntly.

Li Mingda looked at him and felt that he didn't respect him as a princess, "Hey, you are my follower."

"Yes, I almost can't be a follower." Fang Yizhi's eyes flashed with a small stream of light, mixed with a bit of sharpness, and he wanted to look directly at Li Mingda, without any politeness at this time.

"Okay, it's over."

Li Mingda's small mouth curled into an arc, which was so sweet that it made people's eyes shine.

Fang Yizhi immediately discarded the latter words, lowered his eyes, and said no more.But his slender fingers were slightly bent and gradually clenched into fists.

Li Mingda is a person who is good at observing, so he naturally noticed the change of Fang Yi Zhishou.

"Don't be angry." Li Mingda smiled at him again.

Seeing that Fang Yi hadn't looked at herself, she looked at the attendants who were all nodding their heads on duty, and confirmed that their gazes were all honestly fixed on the ground.Li Mingda reached out and grabbed Fang Yizhi's fist.

The slender white fingers slipped down on the back of Fang Yizhi's hand, and his heart started beating violently immediately.

Fang Yi raised his head in surprise, and met Li Mingda's eyes.

Li Mingda still smiled like that, and silently said to him, "Don't be angry."

Fang Yizhi took a deep breath, grabbed Li Mingda's hand with his backhand, with some strength, leaned close to Li Mingda's ear, and said in a low voice, "Everything is allowed, but this one, your lord must remember, act like a baby It doesn't work either."

After finishing speaking, Fang Yizhi let go of Li Mingda's hand, got up and walked to the window, with his back to Li Mingda.

Because of this, Li Mingda couldn't see his expression, only saw that his back was a little stiff, and there was one hand behind his back, still clenched into a fist.

Li Mingda suddenly remembered that his third elder brother Li Ke said that Fang Yizhi was a stingy and vengeful person.Now she almost died, why is he even more angry than himself, and she wants her to coax him, and she can't coax him well, what's the point.

At this time, Tian Hanshu cheerfully brought two bowls of snacks into the house, "I just got them, and they are still warm. Your lord and Mr. Fang will fill their bellies first."

After Tian Hanshu finished speaking, he saw that the atmosphere in the room was not right.Looking at Fang Shizi who was standing with his hands behind his back by the window, and then looking at the noble master who was sitting down in a fit of anger, Tian Hanxi felt the existence of something "uncomfortable and angry".

"Your lord, drink tea to quench the fire." Tian Hanshan said again.

"I don't have a fire, send it to Fang Shizi, he is very angry!" Li Mingda raised his voice slightly.

Fang Yi turned around and came back, stretched out his hand to take the tea served by Tian Hanshan, but sipped it leisurely.As usual, I can't see him being angry at all.

Li Mingda poked him secretly, feeling that Fang Zong's temper was inexplicable.Among the thousands of reasons, only the word stingy can explain his state.

Li Mingda drank his tea, got up and said goodbye to Fang Yi.

"Your lord is going to Princess Chengyang's Mansion?" Fang Yizhi followed suit.

"You're lucky, that's where you go." Li Mingda went to see the room, saw that he was just seeing him off, and didn't intend to go, so he turned and left.

Tian Hanshan followed the princess on horseback and found that the princess was waving the whip with a smile on his face. He seemed very happy, and he didn't understand the situation of the noble lord and Fang Shizi in the room just now.

When he arrived at Princess Chengyang's mansion, Tian Hanshan asked why while waiting for the princess to dismount.

"Your lord seemed very angry when he was in front of the son just now, why did he just... just..."

"He's stingy, so I won't be as knowledgeable as her." Li Mingda smiled and whispered to Tian Hanshu, "What can I do? If I laugh when he is angry, won't he be even more angry?"

"Ah, yes, so you're pretending to be angry?" Tian Hanshan suddenly realized, he scratched his head, and said to the princess, "But I think it's reasonable for the prince to be angry this time. I also feel scared about making boxes, and I want to be angry too. , I blame your lord for not ordering this slave to open the box. But this slave is timid, not as brave as Fang Shizi."

"Okay, the matter is over, are you still finished? I promise to pay attention to it in the future." Li Mingda patted Tian Hanshan on the shoulder.

Then she raised her head, walked in a dignified manner, calmly and gracefully, and went to meet Chengyang Princess Li Jingrong.Li Mingda was even happier when he turned around and saw Du He, the son-in-law.

Before Li Jingrong could gossip, Li Mingda smiled and said to Du He, "Today I'm looking for my brother-in-law."

Du He was startled, looked at Li Jingrong, then asked Li Mingda with a smile: "What do you want from me?"

"Fengyue Tower." Li Mingda said while observing Du He's expression.

Du He frowned, "I've heard about Fengyue Tower, but I've never been there, what can you ask me?"

"I just want to confirm whether it is my brother-in-law's property." Li Mingda said.

Du He was startled again, and was about to speak when Li Jingrong cut him off first.

"Look, you are not here to see me this time, but to investigate the case. You said that next time you will come to see me seriously."

"Yeah, the case is not over yet. I'll come and see you when it's over. Besides, I'm not here to see Miss Sixteen this time. I'm here to see my brother-in-law, so it doesn't count." Li Mingda quibbled.

"Hey, look at your sharp mouth." Li Jingrong smiled helplessly, let Li Mingda and Du He have a good chat, and she will not bother.

Li Mingda nodded, thanked Li Jingrong, and sent Li Jingrong to leave, Li Mingda continued to question Du He.

"No, no, it's not my property. Good sister, how many times do you have to tell me before you believe me?" Du He asked with a helpless smile.

"The prisoner involved in the case today finally let go of the story. He said that Fengyuelou was the property of a certain important person in Chang'an City. If the legendary brother-in-law is not, who is it?"

"Don't you know the deed that Fengyuelou reported to the government office? Ask me, how do I know?"

"I checked, but of course nothing was found. Datang officials banned private brothels. Even if this brothel is owned by a certain big man, he will definitely not name it himself." Li Mingda explained.

"Then why did you come to me? It didn't say who it was anyway. Why didn't you look for your fourth brother, uncle, someone surnamed Wei, someone surnamed Fang, and even the crown prince? These are the real names in Chang'an City." big shot." Du He explained.

"I don't know, but I'm eyeing you because someone said it was you. No one said about those people." Li Mingda spread his hands and shrugged with an innocent look on his face.

Du He couldn't laugh or cry because of her trouble, "It's really not me, you still want to rely on your brother-in-law? Can't you hope that your brother-in-law is better?"

Li Mingda nodded, "Okay, then I won't make things difficult for you."

After Li Mingda finished speaking, he waved goodbye to Du He.After she left a few steps, she suddenly stopped, turned her head and said to Du He: "I will come again!"

Du He was stunned for a moment, then with a wry smile, he hurriedly saluted and asked Li Mingda to let him go.

Li Mingda ignored his words, turned around and left neatly.

Du He was a little annoyed after thinking about it, and complained to Li Jingrong, "I beg your lord to take good care of your good sister, that Fengyue Tower is really not my property. She troubles me like this every day, who can bear it."

"Is it troublesome? I think you are fine now, and I don't see any trouble for you. She is my sister, but she is also Princess Jinyang. You don't know her temper? And she is investigating the case, you can only cooperate." Otherwise, she will sue you in front of the saint, and you will suffer!" Li Jingrong 'threatened' Du He while peeling peanuts absently.

After Du He sighed again and again, there was really nothing he could do.

Li Mingda left Princess Chengyang's mansion and went back to the palace.

Tian Hanshu asked: "Does it really have something to do with Prince Consort Du?"

"It's okay, I'm just making trouble with him. With me pestering him during this time, he doesn't dare to be restless." Li Mingda said.

Tian Hanshu nodded with a half understanding.

When Li Mingda returned to the palace, thinking about Zhou Xiaohe's attack on Rust Iron, he immediately found a few guards with good water skills, and checked the place where she fell into the water.

Afterwards, the guards picked up two rusty iron boxes from the water.
