"I put it at the bottom of a small box that most people can't find. Zhong Sixteen said.

"Can you find your wife?" Xiao Diyuan asked.

"She may not be able to find it. ”

Xiao Diyuan said: "Then you have to go on a trip." ”

Zhong 16: "......"

Xiao Diyuan took out a string of silver from his pocket.

Zhong Sixteen changed his smile when he saw it, and said, "Okay, okay, then you have to wait." ”

"It's all right, I'll send someone to ride with you. ”

If you ride a horse, it will take less than three quarters of an hour to go back and forth.

Zhong Sixteen nodded and walked out with the two men assigned by Xiao Diyuan.

As soon as Zhong Sixteen left, Xiao Diyuan said to Ding Cong: "From tomorrow, three people will be sent to secretly protect Zhong Sixteen's family and ensure their personal safety." ”

Ding Cong hurriedly said, "Yes." He didn't forget to add: "Second Highness is wise!"

Zhong Sixteen and Xiao Diyuan's people each rode a horse, and Zhong Sixteen's house was about to arrive, and when he was about to get home, Zhong Sixteen said to the man: "In order not to arouse the suspicion of the neighbors, it is better for me to go back alone, you are waiting for me here." ”

The man smiled, "I'm dressed in civilian clothes now, and no one will know my true identity, don't worry." And he said, "If I do not go with me, it will be difficult to turn back and give an account to my master." ”

Zhong Sixteen had no choice but to follow him, and asked him in a low voice as he walked, "What kind of person is your master? Why do you want to investigate this matter?"

The man replied, "Coincidentally, I can't answer either of these questions, so please forgive me." ”

"Where does your master live?"

"He's not from the capital. ”

This answer is simply half-foolish.

Zhong Sixteen was a little depressed and helpless, but he still kept his mouth shut with interest.

The small silver bag was carried by Zhong Sixteen in a flower cloth bag, the size of a palm, with a few red peonies embroidered on it.

The red peony is embroidered with several super precious silk threads, which should only be affordable for large families. Look at the fabric again, it is silk, but it has a certain thickness, and it is very silky to the touch, but it is very tacky.

Such a delicate thing makes people believe that it came from a home with an excellent family environment.

The man said, "This thing is exquisite!"

Zhong Sixteen nodded again and again: "Isn't it? It still had a fragrance back then, but now that the days have passed, the smell has dissipated." ”

The man still picked it up and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, although the fragrance was already very faint, but he could still smell a little, so he said, "Let's wrap it in the cloth bag you used to wrap it in." ”

Zhong Sixteen complied, wrapped it up, put it in his pocket, and left his house with the man.

They soon arrived at the tavern.

Zhong Sixteen handed the small silver bag to Xiao Diyuan.

Xiao Diyuan looked at it carefully for a while, and asked Zhong Sixteen if he could give it to him.

Zhong Sixteenyi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I have kept this thing for more than ten years, and I have feelings, so I am reluctant to give it to you." ”

Xiao Diyuan didn't rob him, but gave him back very automatically, but said: "If it stays at the bottom of your box, it may never be able to play a role, but it is very likely that I will help solve a serious case here." ”

Zhong Sixteen instead held the small silver bag tighter and looked at Xiao Diyuan with some vigilance.

Xiao Diyuan thought to himself - since he loves money so much, it seems that he can only take out the silver.

Although Xiao Diyuan didn't like to use silver to induce/induce him to agree, he would not be too obsessed with it when it was really necessary, so he slowly took out a bag of silver taels from his pocket.

This bag of silver is enough for Zhong Sixteen to eat three meals of today's meal, and Zhong Sixteen's eyes are faintly shining.

Everyone's bottom line is different, and there is no certain standard, for Zhong Sixteen, if the temptation/temptation faced is not big enough, he is very willing to come up with a clear posture, but when the temptation/temptation is big enough, the thoughts in his heart are different.

It's just a small bag, obviously it won't help him much, but if you exchange it for that bag of money, the fool will nod and agree, right? Zhong Sixteen couldn't help but think to himself.

There was no need to struggle too much, Zhong Sixteen quickly made a decision, he handed the small silver bag to Xiao Diyuan with a serious face, and said, "Since it is helpful to solve the case, I think I should still support you." ”

After that, he took the initiative to stuff the small silver bag into Xiao Diyuan's hand, and the other hand couldn't wait to hold the bag of silver.

Xiao Diyuan smiled: "Thank you so much!"

While putting the small silver bag into his pocket, he beckoned Zhong Sixteen to drink tea.

"Uncle Zhong, can you tell us more about Ding An's later incidents? Has he always lived there? Are there any people from his adoptive parents' house who often come to visit?" Xiao Diyuan smiled.

Zhong Sixteen drank the tea with a gurgling sound, and replied after a cup of belly: "Well, I have always lived there." As for the regular customers, there seems to be one, it is said to be a relative of Ding's sister-in-law, who will come to their house every once in a while to walk around. ”

"Have you seen that man?"

"I've never seen it, every time I come by carriage, every time I come with an entourage, it seems to be very mysterious and cautious. ”

Xiao Diyuan pursed his lips and smiled, picked up the teacup and drank it all.

After sending Zhong Sixteen away, Xiao Diyuan hurried to the palace.

Back at the residence, Xiao Diyuan sat on the chair by the window, took out the small silver bag and looked at it carefully.

When he was very young, Liu once embroidered a small sachet for him, and the embroidery on the sachet was the same as that on the silver bag, and the embroidery method was very similar.

Of course, this alone doesn't mean anything, after all, there are many things in this world that are very close in style and technique. However, he had also seen the fabric of this silver bag on a small pendant opened by Prince Xiao Di.

It is very likely that this small silver bag is from the Imperial Palace, and it is from the Liu family.

Things are getting clearer.

Xiao Diyuan put the small silver bag into his pocket again, looked at the dusk scenery outside the window, and his heart drifted far, far away, until that year.

As long as you don't give up, you can always get a glimpse of the big event from some small things. In this world, everything that has happened must have traces to follow.

Xiao Diyuan suddenly added infinite courage.
