Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Li Mingda thought for a while, looked at Fang Yizhi, "This shouldn't be, after learning a lesson, how could she hide in a place where there is no way out?"

"I'm also surprised, but the news is accurate."

Looking up at the house, I saw a white curvature on the roof of the second floor, which looked like it was made of paper.

"What is that?" Fang Yi directly asked the spy who was guarding the place.

"Lantern, it is said that the shop owner will make a big lantern for the Lantern Festival next year."

While speaking, the white arc swayed.

Fang Yizhi's face suddenly turned cold, "Prepare the rocket."

The guards immediately agreed and went to get the arrows ready.

Li Mingda also looked up, and immediately smelled the smell of burning grass.Then the white arc at the corner behind the roof slowly moved up, revealing more.Immediately, everyone saw a huge lantern rising into the sky, and then flew westward along the wind.It can be seen that there is a bamboo basket hanging under the lantern, and there is a person lying in it vaguely, because there is a piece of skirt hanging on the side of the basket, and a strand of long hair hangs out from a large gap at the bottom of the basket.

The guards shouted when they saw this, and hurriedly mounted their horses to chase after him.The rocket needed to be prepared, so it was ignited and launched, but the giant lantern had already crossed to the street. If they were to shoot from their position, it would have exceeded the range that the bow and arrow could hit.But the guards still wanted to try to shoot, Li Mingda immediately ordered to stop it.

"Pingkangfang has always been lively, even now, there will be people on the street, so random shooting of arrows is likely to hurt innocent people." Li Mingda said.

The guards agreed.Li Mingda reminded them again that the giant lanterns go with the wind, and asked them to follow the direction of the wind.

The guards immediately understood that the soldiers were separated, some chased the lanterns, and some predicted the route in advance and took a shortcut to the street ahead.

Li Mingda wanted to chase after him on horseback at this time, but Fang Yizhi grabbed his arm.

The two looked at each other, and Fang Yizhi was about to explain, when he saw Cheng Chubi leading someone on horseback from the back door, and he also wanted to join the chasing team with a bow and crossbow.

Fang Yizhi immediately said: "Go back."

Cheng Chubi was stunned, and immediately turned his head and ran back with the others.

Fang Yizhi immediately ordered the rest of the people, "Immediately block the left and right corners of the front and back doors on both sides. No matter who is on the street, no one is allowed to let go. The rest of the people, surround this shop."

The remaining dozen or so guards immediately obeyed the order.

At this time, Fang Yizhi looked down at Li Mingda and said, "Tune the tiger away from the mountain."

"I understand from your reaction just now, that..."

"Ok?"

"Let go when it's time to let go." Li Mingda moved his wrist.

A smile appeared in Fang Yizhi's eyes, and then he let go.But before letting go, he slightly tightened his hand, as if he wanted to hold it tighter.

Li Mingda blushed and turned to look at the guards, but luckily they didn't pay attention to this.

"This Shi Hongyu is really unusual. She purposely found a place with no way out to make us suspect, and once she found out that she was exposed, she would make a lot of noise. Did she expect us to think so, so she did the opposite?"

Fang Yi nodded.

"That's right." Li Mingda reminded Fang Yi and said straight.They seem to always hold hands in front of outsiders recently, but they still have to pay attention, otherwise the influence will be bad.

"it is good."

Fang Yizhi agreed very straightforwardly, which made Li Mingda a little uncomfortable.

Li Mingda looked at Fang Yi's sideways face, and suddenly heard what seemed to be an old man's low cough coming from the direction of the back door.

Just now, because there were many people surrounding the shop, the footsteps were very chaotic. If similar sounds came from all directions, it would be difficult for Li Mingda to distinguish which footstep was who.But human voices are different. Everyone's voice has its own characteristics. Li Mingda can immediately hear the difference and distinguish the direction.

"There is something at the back door." Li Mingda said straight to Fang Yi.At this time, a guard also came to report back, and the two immediately headed towards the back door.Before leaving, considering Shi Hongyu's cunning, Fang Yizhi repeatedly told him not to let the store out, no matter what it was or anyone.

When the two arrived, they saw five civilians standing at the back door, and an old man with gray hair and beard.The old man was wearing dark blue Japanese clothes, his waist was bowed, his body was trembling, and he was holding a five or six-year-old girl who was also wearing Japanese clothes with his right hand.

Cheng Chubi and the others stretched out their hands and stopped the old man and the child.The old man was very puzzled and muttered some incomprehensible words in his mouth. The child he was holding in his hand also began to cry, and the words he shouted were also incomprehensible.The old man coaxed the child, and was about to bypass the guards blocking him and continue walking.But Cheng Chubi moved his body immediately, still blocking the old man and the child from leaving.

"What's going on?" Fang Yi asked directly.

"When my subordinates waited to come back, they saw the old man and the child not far ahead, and when the fast horse blocked the street, they also found five of them." Cheng Chubi then looked at the old man and said, "But they seem to be He is from the Wa country, and his words are incomprehensible to others, and he probably cannot understand us either."

It was almost dusk, and when the curfew was about to start, the people on the streets of Chang'an City were already very sparse, and most of them had already gone back to their homes.Because once the curfew bell rings, no one is allowed on the street.

Li Mingda got off his horse and looked at the old man.At this time, the curfew bell rang, and the old man was even more anxious. While squatting down to comfort the child, he still spoke the incomprehensible Japanese dialect.

The forehead lines on the old man's face are obvious, the lines between the eyebrows are hard and deep, and the nasolabial folds are close to the mouth.Although the sky was getting dark, Li Mingda could still see three colors from the old man's wrinkles: dark brown, brown red and bright yellow.Wrinkles look like real wrinkles, but the wrinkles of normal people cannot see these three colors.The wrinkles are drawn, but if you don't look carefully, they really look like them.

"You don't speak Chinese?" Li Mingda asked the old man.

The old man looked at Li Mingda in confusion, and repeated a Japanese dialect.

"This old man is from the Japanese country, and the girl in his hand is so small, it is impossible for him to be the person we are looking for." Cheng Chubi couldn't stand the child crying, and he also pitied the old and the weak. Looking at the crying little girl, he felt very distressed , then asked for instructions, "How about..."

"Go find an interpreter." Fang Yi ordered straight.

"No need," Li Mingda stared straight at the old man, stretched out his hand to pull his hair, but he didn't pull it off.

The old man screamed, knelt down in panic, covered his head and cried together with the girl.

The guards present were all dumbfounded.

Fang Yi looked at Li Mingda questioningly, "Fake?"

Li Mingda nodded.

Cheng Chubi, who was standing next to him, suddenly became angry when he heard this, he naturally believed in the princess' judgment, never thought that the old man was lying to him.Cheng Chubi was signaled by Fang Yizhi's gaze again, and immediately ran to the old man's side, went straight up and grabbed the old man's hair fiercely.

The old man's body was 'weak', and he screamed pitifully while covering his head, which made people feel very distressed.So much so that the five civilians who were asked to stay could not stand it anymore. They didn't know the origin of the official in front of them, so they were still a little bit courageous and dissatisfied.

"Even Japanese people shouldn't bully old people and children like this."

"That's right, such a strong young man actually went to pull an old man's hair."

"Oh, how pitiful."

Hearing this, Cheng Chubi looked at the determined princess over there, and with great force, he pulled off the old man's wig, along with the wig, and a few strands of black hair.

The old man screamed, this time he yelled with his real voice, but he could tell it was a female voice at a glance.

The five people who whispered about the old man's pity were all shocked when they heard the cry, and almost thought they were hallucinating.

They all looked at the old man with white hair to black hair, their mouths half-opened in shock.

"Do you still want to continue speaking Japanese?" Fang Yi asked directly.

The old man suddenly became quiet, and just sat on the ground, turning his eyes to look at the room, as if there were hooks in his eyes.

"Don't talk?" Fang Yi ordered with a cold face, "Take off her blouse, and you'll know if she's a man or a woman."

As soon as this remark came out, the guards were about to strike immediately.

Panic immediately flashed on the old man's face full of hatred and dissatisfaction.She hurriedly grasped her collar tightly with both hands, and looked at Fang Yizhi calmly with her black and white eyes.

"No need, I am Shi Hongyu."

The voice is calm.

Li Ming turned his head sideways and muttered to the followers around him.

Soon the attendant fetched a basin of water and ordered Shi Hongyu to wash her face.

Shi Hongyu glanced at Li Mingda amusedly, lowered her head and brushed it with water a few times, soaking the base of the beard, and then tore it off, and also tore off two pieces of pigskin on her cheeks.Shi Hongyu then wiped her face with a damp cloth, and her beautiful appearance was immediately revealed, but her cheeks were a little flushed, and some small rashes appeared, probably caused by applying some strange things for disguise.

The five people were stunned and even more stunned when they saw that the old man not only had black hair, but turned into a beautiful woman in the end.

After Li Mingda confirmed Shi Hongyu's identity, he sent people to investigate the identities of the remaining five civilians. After checking and confirming that there was nothing suspicious, they were recorded in the record before they were allowed to leave.

After the five civilians were taken away, Shi Hongyufang was allowed to get up.

"Tomorrow, a giant lantern is flying, why do you still notice me?" After Shi Hongyu asked a question, her eyes turned from Fang Yizhi to Li Mingda.

Shi Hongyu found that no one answered her question.She looked up and down at Li Mingda with cold eyes, and then smiled.

"We met again." Shi Hongyu made a shallow salute to Li Mingda.

The ceremony was done on purpose, and the eyes were very different, obviously this time Shi Hongyu knew Li Mingda's identity.

Li Mingda looked at her calm and confident look, but didn't speak, turned around and entered the back door of the jewelry shop.

Shi Hongyu didn't expect that she would be ignored again, and her face immediately became gloomy, very upset.

Fang Yi glanced at the princess, and then ordered Cheng Chubi to personally escort Shi Hongyu, and to prevent her from playing tricks, search her first.

Shi Hongyu opened her eyes slightly, staring at Fang Yizhi, "Is it you, right? You saw through my escape plan?"

Fang Yi glanced at Shi Hongyu with cold eyes, then turned and left.

While being body-searched, Shi Hongyu stared at Fang Yizhi's back with full concentration, and her eyes gradually shone with brilliance.Immediately she laughed, and her face was like a delicate peony blooming.

"interesting."

"Why are you laughing, shameless!" Seeing this, Tian Hanshan went up and slapped Shi Hongyu.He didn't know why, but he always felt uncomfortable when other women stared at Fang Shizi besides your lord, and his heart became angry.

Shi Hongyu was beaten so hard that she turned her head to one side. She felt the pain, but she didn't complain of pain. Instead, the smile on the corner of her mouth was even brighter.Turning to look at Tian Hanshan with a smile on his face, he didn't have the reaction that a beaten person should have at all.

Tian Hanshan's heart was shaken, he hurriedly chased after Li Mingda, and felt that he had to inform your lord of Shi Hongyu's performance just now.

After Li Mingda met the shop owner, he heard him explain in his unproficient Chinese that the reason why he took Shi Hongyu in was that she felt sorry for the woman, and that the giant lantern was also suggested by Shi Hongyu, so that he could make a big splash at the Lantern Festival next year. It is more attractive, so that the reputation can be improved so as to expand the business.The shop owner thought the proposal was very interesting, so he agreed and allowed her to help.

"Did she tell you that she is from the Wa country?"

The shop owner shook his head, "She told me that she is a miserable widow. In Datang's words, what is it called a confidante? It's just that she is too beautiful, and there are too many people who like her, so that it affects her and makes her suffer. , she was very sad. She said that she dared not go back to her home, she was too scared, too terrible. Of course I want to take him in for such a poor woman. "

Tian Hanshu sneered in his heart when he heard the words, the shop owner really explained it carefully.What showing kindness is clearly taking in a girl when she sees her beauty.

"Didn't you see the wanted portrait?" Tian Hanshan showed him the portrait.

The shop owner shook his head, "I've seen this painting before, and she showed it to me on her own initiative. I don't know Tang Chinese characters, so she cried and explained to me that it was because there was an official from Jingzhao Mansion who wanted to marry her by force. I couldn't find him, so I started to hunt her down in the whole city. She is really pitiful! Can't you let her go?"

Li Mingda turned his head to look at Fang Yizhi, thinking that the wanted "official" seemed to be him.

Fang Yi faced it directly without changing his color.

At this time, Li Mingda stopped joking.She looked up at the wall of the jewelry store, and she was wearing a leather mask, looking very scary.

Look at the ornaments placed in the shop, they all have the characteristics of the Japanese country.

"You still sell masks?"

The shop owner replied: "It's just a hobby, hang on it, if someone likes it, you can buy it."

"Shi Hongyu's outfit took a lot of time. When did you draw it for her? You even drew the wrinkles on your hands meticulously." Li Mingda sighed.

"I drew one for her every morning for the past two days. She was going out, but in order to avoid being harassed by her suitors, I did a favor." The shop owner confessed.

Li Mingda found that the shop owner was really naive. He was over 30 years old, and since it was so easy, he believed Shi Hongyu's one-sided words.It seems that beautiful women are easy to do.

Li Mingda nodded to Fang Yizhi, signaling to Fang Yizhi, after her observation, what the shop owner said was basically true.

Seeing this, the shop owner followed Li Mingda and looked at Fang Yizhi. He thought Fang Yizhi was the biggest official here, and his aura was indeed unusual.

The owner of the store hastily greeted Fang Yi with a Tang ceremony, "This nobleman, you brought so many people here, you must be a big official, so you must have women by your side. The relationship between a man and a woman must like each other. Since Shi The lady doesn't like you, so I implore you to put her down, it's not easy for her to be a woman. She shouldn't be bullied by men, but should be protected."

The shop owner babbled a lot, Fang Yizhi didn't care at all, but what he said later caused a look of disgust to flash in Fang Yizhi's eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Tian Hanshan yelled immediately, warning the store owner not to speak nonsense, "The woman you mentioned is a murderer, she is not a concubine who is favored by Fang Shizi. Fang Shizi is a noble gentleman, How could you fall in love with that filthy prostitute Shi Hongyu, are you blind!"

The store owner's eyes widened, "She...is she a murderer?"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, take us to her room." Tian Hanshan urged.

The shop owner nodded hurriedly and took everyone there. When he arrived at the room on the second floor, he suddenly realized, "My child, my child is still in her hands!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone appeared downstairs holding his daughter.The store owner heaved a sigh of relief.

"Even giving your daughter to her with confidence, your heart is too big, your wife is also willing?"

"I don't have a wife. This child is an orphan I adopted in Datang. But I didn't look down on her because of it. I regarded her as my own. Mrs. Shi told me that the officials who liked her came to chase her again and wanted to take her with her. My daughters went out and concealed their identities so well, they went to the inn facing the street to hide for one night and then came back. I really believed it, I was so stupid."

"It's really a painstaking effort." Li Mingda looked around Shi Hongyu's room, except for the things of ordinary life, there was nothing special about it.But on the ground at the corner of the table, Li Mingda saw a little ashes of burnt paper.

"Did you find anything?" Fang Yi asked Li Mingda directly.

Li Mingda shook his head, "She knows we are looking for her, so she must have been prepared. According to Shi Hongyu's ability, it is not surprising that there is nothing useful left in this room."

Fang Yi nodded.

Immediately, the group returned to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Datang, and prepared to interrogate Shi Hongyu and others overnight.

Li Mingda reckoned that he would be in the Ministry of Punishment tonight, so he sent someone back to the palace to inform Li Shimin, so as not to worry him.

Yuchi Baoqi and Xiao Kai were also called back. When they heard that Shi Hongyu had been arrested, they were both very surprised. After curiously asking what happened, they sighed that Fang Yizhi and the princess were both divinely determined, and also sighed that Shi Hongyu not simple.

"I saw that giant lantern when I searched." Xiao Kai touched his chin and pondered, "If it were me, I would definitely lead someone to chase the lantern and run away first. It looks like there is really someone in the basket hanging under the lantern. By the way, what about the person on the lantern?"

At this time, the guards who went to chase the lanterns also came back, and a straw figure in human clothes came up.The straw man's head was tied with a black ponytail, and a strand of it was pulled out to see, it was really no different from human hair.

"This Shi Hongyu is really powerful." Xiao Kai said with emotion.

Li Mingda looked at the straw figure in the skirt, and couldn't help feeling in his heart that he didn't see through her disguise.If you carefully distinguish the ponytail and human hair, you can still see the difference.It can be seen that she was distracted and not calm enough.

Xiao Kai curiously asked Fang Yizhi how he found out that the basket under the lantern was a dummy.

"Paper lanterns are fragile and will soon rise higher and higher with the wind. There is a [-]% to [-]% chance that the lantern will suddenly break and be killed. Even if she does not fall to death, there is a [-]% to [-]% chance that she will be chased by the guards Apprehend. Judging by Shi Hongyu's self-righteous temperament, she would not choose such a dangerous way to escape." Fang Yizhi explained.

"Awesome! In such a short period of time, you can think so carefully." Xiao Kai saluted Fang Yi straight to express his admiration for his eloquence.

Yuchi Baoqi was also a little stunned when he heard it, and nodded in agreement with Xiao Kai.

Li Mingda asked the two of them to sit down, and the trial was about to begin immediately.

Xiao Kai was a little excited, stroking the jade fan in his hand with his fingers, and keeping his eyes on the direction of the door.He wants to see what kind of beauty this Shi Hongyu is and how smart she is.

Shi Hongyu, who was wearing shackles, was escorted up immediately.Because of the rash on her cheeks, her cheeks were flushed, and she looked a bit shy from a distance, and she was so beautiful.

Xiao Kaiming knew that she was a vicious woman and possibly a murderer, but seeing such a face, his heart still couldn't stop beating, it was so beautiful.It can't be said that her beauty is the best in the world. In fact, Princess Jinyang's beauty is not inferior to hers.But Shi Hongyu's eyes are so seductive, when a man looks at it, a bone-piercing desire is aroused.And the beauty of the princess is: rich and dignified when she is quiet, like a precious peony in buds; lively and lovely when moving, like a little white rabbit shuttling among orchid bushes.

The difference between the two kinds of beauty caused his body to react differently.For people like Shi Hongyu, he will be unconsciously inspired by masculine desires, while for princesses, Xiao Kai can only respect and like them, but this kind of liking is not the kind of liking for men and women, just like he thinks orchids are beautiful. Like orchids, the kind of appreciative liking.

After Shi Hongyu knelt down, she felt Xiao Kai's gaze, and looked at him affectionately with a smile on her lips.

Xiao Kai's eyes became straighter.

"Fang Shizi should understand now, why would a man believe her words." Li Mingda really couldn't ignore Xiao Kai's reaction, and sighed directly to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi kept looking at Xiao Kai.At this time, because of the princess's words, Xiao Kai also looked back and looked at Li Mingda and Fang Yizhi with some embarrassment.

Fang Yizhi smiled at Li Mingda, "Thank you for your reminder, Yizhi understands."

Xiao Kai felt as if he had been ridiculed.

At this time, Yuchi Baoqi suddenly laughed unceremoniously, and Xiao Kai was now sure that he must have been ridiculed.

As expected of Fang Yizhi, Fang Yizhi speaks euphemistically, making people feel uncomfortable at first, but the more you think about his words, the more powerful they become.

Shi Hongyu was also attracted by Fang Yizhi's words at the moment, her eyes immediately fell on Fang Yizhi, and she stuck to Fang Yizhi and refused to leave.

Because this man is so special, after seeing her appearance, no man can always show a cold attitude like him and ignore her.Don't people all instinctively like things that are pleasing to the eye?Why is he an exception?

"Where is the map of the gold mine?" The small official in charge of the criminal department came out again.

Shi Hongyu glanced at him, then stared at Fang Yizhi, then smiled and said, "I can interrogate me, but I want him to come, otherwise I don't want to say a word."

Fang Yi raised his eyes and looked at Shi Hongyu.

Shi Hongyu winked at Fang Yi, pulled up the corners of her mouth, and smiled coquettishly.

Both Xiao Kai and Yuchi Baoqi saw that Shi Hongyu's dishonest appearance was to tease Fang Yizhi.

Now the two of them are really sure that this woman is different, even Fang Yizhi dares to provoke her.Zhou Xiaohe, who was born in a noble family, ended up so miserable. She is just a criminal with no identity. It's hard to imagine...

The room suddenly became very quiet.

Fang Yi bowed his head and flipped through the case files, he was calm, elegant, and handled things indifferently like an exiled immortal.

Seeing that he ignored her, Shi Hongyu became even more interested.

"In that case, don't interrogate me, I won't say anything."

"How about torture?" Yuchi Baoqi really couldn't understand Shi Hongyu's arrogant attitude, so he proposed to Li Mingda.

Shi Hongyu turned her eyes and looked at Yuchi Baoqi with a smile, "Mr. Yuchi is cruel, but I like whipping. If Mr. Yuchi likes it too, I can whip Hongyu myself."

"Tsk tsk..." Xiao Kai laughed, admiring Shi Hongyu's fearlessness, she could even talk about being tortured so eloquently.

At that moment, the little official called her to be presumptuous with a trembling voice, but all he got was Shi Hongyu's sloppy laughter.

The Yacha was ordered to slap his mouth, and Shi Hongyu screamed a few times after being beaten, but it was a strange moan in pain.

Some yamen servants even blushed when they heard it.

Xiao Kai turned on the fan to fan the wind, feeling his face was hot, and turned to look at Fang Yizhi and Li Mingda questioningly.He deeply thought that this Shi Hongyu was not only troublesome, but also very troublesome to interrogate.

Fang Yizhi also raised his eyes to look at Li Mingda at this time, "I don't recommend trying it now."

Li Mingda felt that he really couldn't play with this rascal girl.Shi Hongyu must know that everyone interrogating her is trying to find key clues in the case from her, and whether she confesses or not, she will be punished with death.If she didn't say anything, she might have lived longer, which is why she was so fearless and arrogant and refused to confess.

Li Mingda couldn't think of a better way to deal with her at the moment, so he could only follow Fang Yizhi's suggestion and ask someone to detain her first.He was held in solitary confinement and closely guarded.

Yuchi Baoqi shook her head and sighed: "It's not easy, it's really not easy! This woman is even more difficult to deal with than a seven-foot man."

"It's not just a seven-foot man," Xiao Kai sighed, "I'm almost as good as a thousand troops."

"Have you two had dinner tonight?"

"No." Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly said, and then looked at Li Mingda expectantly, thinking that the princess planned to take them to dinner together.

"Then let's all go home and eat. Since Shi Hongyu has been caught, you two should go back to rest after a tiring day, and you don't have to come tomorrow." Li Mingda said.

"This……"

Before Yuchi Baoqi could argue, Xiao Kai got up first, saluted the princess impatiently, and then left.Seeing this, Yuchi Baoqi couldn't stay any longer, so she saluted and left with Xiao Kai.

After Xiao Kai went out and waited for Yuchi Baoqi to arrive, he dragged him to his house for dinner.

"It's better to ask Di Huaiying to help, those two are too uncertain, I'm afraid they don't have enough concentration." Li Mingda said.

Fang Yizhi nodded, "I also have the same intention, Huaiying is studying, I will ask him to take a few days off."

Li Mingda nodded, and turned to worry about the interrogation of Shi Hongyu.

"This kind of person is not suitable for your lord to interrogate in person." Fang Yi saw Li Mingda looking at him curiously, and explained carefully, "You are a lowly person, and your lord has integrity in his heart, so naturally he can't deal with her, so you might as well leave it to Yi Zhi .”

Fang Yizhi said that she could not deal with Shi Hongyu with an upright person, and at the same time volunteered herself.

"Yes. But what you said just now seems to elevate me and demean you."

"It's not self-deprecation, it's the truth." Fang Yi said bluntly, seeing Li Mingda looking at himself with curious eyes, and was about to explain when Li Mingda sighed.

"People are not sages, it's normal. I'm not as upright as you think, sometimes I'm bad." Li Mingda teased,

"How?" Fang Yi asked directly.

"Of course I can't say it, otherwise how can I be upright in your eyes? I'm afraid that if I say it, you will be ashamed to be with me." Li Mingda said.

Fang Yi smiled and shook his head, saying no.When he looked at Li Mingda again, his eyes were like stars, and there was no room for anything else in his eyes.

Li Mingda and Fang Yizhi then took a rest, and while eating Luoxiang rice cakes and drinking tea, they researched to whom Shi Hongyu's map was sent.

"I can't get out of Pingkangfang. Since she hid there and chose that shop, she must have known about it earlier. Chang'an City is so big, and there are not many remote places with few people. She was wanted, but she chose Pingkang Fang, which has a large number of people, may have a greater risk of exposure. It must be because there are people she knows well there, and it is more convenient to contact them." Fang Yi analyzed directly.

Li Mingda nodded, "My thinking is probably similar to yours. It seems that we will start to investigate all the residents in Pingkang Fang."

"In the future, I will find a reason to ask the people in the yamen to make a record for each household again, so that the name will be more legitimate, and I will avoid abusing others." Fang Yi said straight.

Li Mingda nodded.

The two then continued to interrogate Shuntong, and called Fengyuelou's fake mother to confront her.

It was only then that the fake mother suddenly realized that King Han, whom he thought to be his great backer for the past two years, was actually a fake!

"How could you treat me like this! I was still hoping to come and save us!" The fake mother broke down in anger and cried, and slapped Shuntong with both hands, blaming him for lying to her.

Shuntong lowered his head guiltily and let his fake mother beat him.

After the false mother calmed down, she also understood that she had no backing to rely on, and now she could only be sentenced lightly if she confessed obediently and interceded a lot.

The fake mother was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Shuntong wonderingly, "No, if you didn't work for the King of Han, where did Shi Hongyu come from? She said she was from the King of Han. A few months ago, she took a Box Jinzi came to me and told me that King Han secretly sent her here. She said that our Fengyue Tower has received so much care from King Han, and now we should be grateful to do something for King Han. I just took Fengyue Lou is a place to pass on news, but she didn't dare to ask why, and just wanted to repay her kindness, so she went with her."

"I'm afraid you're still greedy for money." Tian Hanshan couldn't help poking at it.

"There is also a reason for this." The false mother said embarrassedly.

"It's impossible for the King of Han to send someone to you. I've been spreading false rumors all these years. He didn't even know about my helping you until today." Shuntong said honestly.

The fake mother was shocked, "Then, who is that Shi Hongyu... No wonder she said that this matter is top secret, and she is not allowed to mention it to anyone, not even you. So she lied! I have endured in prison for so long, and even covered it up." she!"

The fake mother was so angry that she kowtowed to Li Mingda, "The slave family just let her go in and out of Fengyuelou to pass on news to others, and she really didn't participate in other things, and she didn't know about it."

"Did you ever witness her meet anyone?"

"I've seen it before. He was a man in ordinary clothes. He didn't like to talk. When I came in, I greeted him, and he gave me the money and asked for a room. Every time Shi Hongyu went in to look for him, he came out soon after entering. Later , About a month and a half ago, that man stopped coming. Shi Hongyu came here occasionally to find the dumb brother. I didn't expect her to have such a good appetite that she could eat the four brothers. But this kind of thing doesn't matter I, I don't care, the four mutes in the kitchen really like her and obey her."

Li Mingda narrowed his eyes.It seems that this Fengyue Building was originally a place for Shi Hongyu to spread his message, and later she developed it into a place to escape.

"Do you remember the appearance of the person she connected with?" Li Mingda asked.

"Round face, fat, small eyes... that's all. It's a very ordinary appearance, which makes people forget his characteristics." The false mother thought for a while, "By the way, Xiaoqing from the building once went to When shopping for vegetables, he said he met that man in Pingkangfang."

"Where did I meet you?"

"No specifics."

Li Mingda asked someone to bring Xiaoqing up immediately.

"There is no one who was arrested." Fang Yizhi said immediately.

Fake mother: "She disappeared more than ten days ago, and she probably ran away with some wild man."

"Is there anything special about Xiaoqing?" Fang Yi asked directly.

The false mother thought for a while, then hurriedly said, "There is a mole on her chest, when it is exposed, it is very attractive."

Fang Yizhi and Li Mingda looked at each other and confirmed that the boiled head of Fengyue Tower belonged to Xiaoqing.Because there was indeed a mole on the chest of the dismembered corpse.

Xiaoqing probably saw something she shouldn't have seen. After Shi Hongyu learned about it, he ordered the four dumb brothers to put him under house arrest.The cellar is located in a remote area, and it is the territory managed by the dumb brother. If you keep your mouth shut and lock people there, it is indeed not easy to be discovered.

Li Mingda then questioned Shuntong, how he dared to act in the name of King Han.

"Is anyone among them instigating you?"

Shuntong shook his head, "Back when I was in trouble for my false mother, I went to drink in the wanton building. There was a man who saw that I was pitiful, and suddenly kindly invited me to drink. It's been so long, I don't remember his appearance very much, but It seems to be the same person as the fake mother said, with a round face, small eyes, and a very common appearance. Yes. I still remember that he has a Jin accent."

Fake mother: "I remember what you said. No wonder I think that man's speech is a bit awkward. It's not a very authentic Chang'an accent, it's a bit like a Jinzhou accent."
