The group of people noisily arrived at the Pan Mansion at the corner of the long street in the west of the city, Feng Shaojin's face was familiar, and the task of knocking on the door was naturally pushed over by Ji Xiamo, Feng Shaojin was helpless, but he had to condescend to straighten the brocade robe, and walked to the door of the Pan Mansion and knocked on the door panel.

The door was opened by a man in his forties, who opened the closed door a crack, and looked at several people suspiciously, his voice hoarse. "Who are you?"

Seeing that Ji Xiamo and Feng Shaojin didn't seem to have any intention of speaking, Qin Yan touched his nose and leaned over, raising his chin like a dog, and looking at people with dog-eyed eyes looking at people with his nostrils pointing up. "This is the fifth prince today, who came to investigate the case of Pan Mansion on the order of the Holy Lord!"

"Lord Wang!?" The man was startled, quickly opened the door, and knelt down and bowed. "The grass people see the prince, I don't know the prince's drive, and I hope the prince will forgive me for the rudeness."

"It doesn't matter." Feng Shao waved his hand. "Chang Gongzi Pan can be at home now."

"In! The grass people took the prince there. The man stood up and bent over sideways.

Feng Shaojin bowed slightly, looked back at Ji Xiamo, Ji Xiamo withdrew his gaze from the man, covered the darkness under his eyes, and followed Feng Shaojin into Pan's Mansion with a smile.

Walking in the courtyard of Pan's house, Ji Xia Mo looked around without a trace. Although the Pan Mansion has been defeated, this Pan Mansion is not as luxurious as the original Mansion, but it can be regarded as solid compared to ordinary people.

Ji Xia Mo looked at the man who led the way, walked a few steps briskly and stood side by side with a kind smile on his face. "I don't know what to call it?"

"Li Zhi, the grass people, is the housekeeper of the Pan Mansion."

"I wonder if the butler can tell me more about that day." Ji Xiamo slowed down, Li Zhi glanced at Feng Shaojin behind him, hesitated, and slowed down.

"That Japan is the birthday of the adult, and the adult set up a family banquet in the hall, and after drinking a few more glasses, he was in a good mood, so he gave a few jars of wine to the people in the house. The people were greedy for cups, and they forgot the rules for a while, and they got drunk, but they didn't expect to ...... later" Speaking of this, Li Zhi shook his head and sighed, wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

"I wonder where the housekeeper was on the day of the fire?"

"Because of the cold of the grass people in those two days, he was unwell and had been lying in bed to rest, and he felt thirsty at night, and when he called for someone, but no one answered, he groped his way up and got up, and saw a red outside the window. The grass people were so frightened that they ran out without even putting on their shoes, shouting loudly, but no one appeared, and in the end they could only watch Pan's mansion burned to ashes. ”

Ji Xiamo thought in his heart, but patted Li Zhi's shoulder with his hand. "Condolences."

During the conversation, several people came to the living room, Li Zhi took two steps back and made a respectful gesture, "A few adults, please wait here, and the grass people will go to inform the son." ”

Ji Xiamo nodded and smiled back, and when Li Zhi left, Ji Xiamo began to look at the living room carefully.

A woman in a coarse cloth garment walked in hunched in, carefully served tea to the four of them, and then turned to leave.

"Wait!" Ji Xia Mo opened her mouth and called the woman, but the woman stopped and was silent, because she buried her head, it was difficult to see her face clearly

Ji Xiamo walked to the woman's side, touched her chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly bent down and squatted, and a pair of eyes were on the woman's face.

Frightened by Ji Xiamo's suddenly enlarged face, the woman screamed and fell back to the ground again and again, looking at Ji Xiamo with a pair of eyes in horror, trembling like chaff.

Ji Xia Mo sighed lightly, touched his face, and looked back at Feng Shaojin on the side. "Am I ugly?"

"It's not ugly." Feng Shaojin leaned on the chair next to him and played with the wrench on his thumb, and when he heard Ji Xiamo ask like this, he suddenly laughed.

"Dumb woman, what are you doing here?" With a soft drink, a handsome young man strode from outside, thinking that this person should be Pan Zilong, the eldest son of Pan Mansion.

Seeing Pan Zilong coming in, the dumb woman hurriedly knelt on the ground and shrank timidly.

"Don't get down yet." Pan Zilong shouted, the dumb woman kowtowed again and again, and quickly withdrew from the living room.

"The grass people see the five princes, I don't know how the prince is driving, and I hope to forgive my sins!" Pan Zilong bowed to Feng Shaojin, and the free and easy gestures were somewhat similar to Feng Shaojin, and it was no wonder that Feng Shaojin had a good impression of this person.

"It's okay, it's the king who didn't notify him in advance." Feng Shaojin put down the teacup in his hand and motioned to Ji Xiamo on the side. "This is the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who came to investigate the case of Panfu on the orders of the emperor."

"Investigation ......" Pan Zilong was stunned, as if he was puzzled.

"According to the autopsy investigation, there are many suspicious points in this case, and it is by no means an accident, I am afraid that it was harmed by others."

"What!" Pan Zilong exclaimed in surprise and retreated again and again, his handsome face full of astonishment. "This, how is this possible?"

"Lord Wang!" Pan Zilong took two steps forward, his eyes wide open and he looked at Feng Shaojin eagerly. "My father has always been kind to others, and he has never made enemies with others, who is so fierce and cruel, harming my father and brother, and slaughtering my whole house?"

"Eldest Prince Pan, don't worry." Feng Shaojin comforted. "Heaven is clear, this case will definitely come to light, and Pan Mansion will be fair."

"Mr. Pan." Ji Xiamo stepped forward and motioned for Pan Zilong to calm down. "Can you tell me a little bit about the day?"

"Yes." Pan Zilong nodded and sat on the chair a little decadently. "That day, I ran out of paper and ink in my room, so I left the mansion with my scholar and went to Xuan Ya Ge to choose some paper and ink, but I never thought that when I came back, the house was already covered by fire."

"I heard that it was Lord Pan's birthday, why weren't you here as the eldest son? Just give some paper and ink to the next person, how can you, an eldest son, leave the house late at night for this? Ji Xiamo stared at Pan Zilong with a torch in his eyes, quite aggressive.

"Ji Gongzi doesn't know." Pan Zilong smiled bitterly. "Although I am the eldest son of Panfu, my biological mother died when I was young, and I am not the only son in Panfu, so my situation in Panfu has always been very embarrassing. I gave my father a birthday gift and made an excuse to leave. ”

"I have nothing to do on weekdays, I have always liked to dance and ink, and I am very particular about paper and ink.

Looking at Pan Zilong's dim side face, Ji Xiamo narrowed his eyes slightly, and paced in the hall with his hands behind his back.

"I wonder where that scholar of Mr. Pan is now?"

"The little pheasant was frightened that day, he has been having nightmares for the past few days, and now he is resting in the room, if Ji Gongzi wants to ask something, I will ask someone to call him."

"Ah, no." Ji Xia Mo hooked his lips and smiled, dissipating the stern sù on his face. "Let him have a good rest, but there doesn't seem to be any scholar around Mr. Pan before."

"I met the pheasant last month, and my parents were deceased, so I saw that he was pitiful and took him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He was also very well-behaved, and I liked him, so I kept him with me. ”

"That's ......" Ji Xiamo nodded, muttered for a moment of inexplicability, and then said again. Master Pan has a daughter named Pan Han'er, and Pan Han'er has a personal maid by her side, right? ”

"That girl's name is Xiao Lian, Han'er picked it up at the back door many years ago, it is said that she escaped because of the plague at home, Han'er took pity on her and took her by her side."

"And where is she now?"

"Some time ago, this little girl's hands and feet were not clean, and she dared to steal things in the house in exchange for money, and her father was furious, so he beat him and drove him out."

"That is, no one knows where she is now?"

"Yes!" Pan Zilong nodded, seeing that Ji Xiamo's face was different, he was slightly stunned, and said in surprise. "Could it be that she'......?"

"Before the case is revealed, everyone is suspicious." Ji Xiamo's smile was unfathomable, and the ambiguous words made Pan Zilong's face stiffen.

Next, Ji Xiamo didn't ask any more, but miscellaneous, chatting with Pan Zilong about daily life, gossiping about the gossip in Pan's mansion. Pan Zilong didn't know what Ji Xiamo meant, so he could only answer Ji Xiamo's question carefully.

This is said to be in the afternoon, I don't know how many pots of tea I have drunk, seeing Feng Shaojin and Qin Yan sitting on the side with their heads on the side, they are a little drowsy, although Pan Zilong in front of him is still sitting upright, but it is difficult to hide the fatigue and irritability on his face, Ji Xiamo's eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked a meaningful arc.

"That's it!" Ji Xiamo slapped the table and stood up, stretching lazily.

Qin Yan and Feng Shaojin were also a lot more energetic by this fright, and then stood up. Qin Yan touched the corners of his mouth and looked at Ji Xiamo in a bit of confusion. "That's it."

"Mr. Pan, I'm interrupted today! I'll wait for some things, so I won't bother here. Ji Xiamo clasped his fists and said with a smile.

"Don't dare!" Pan Zilong arched his hand. "I also hope that Gongzi Ji can solve this case as soon as possible and give justice to my Pan Mansion."

"Naturally! Responsibilities. Ji Xia Mo nodded strictly, turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly his body shook and fell towards Pan Zilong. Oops! ”

Pan Zilong was startled, and he went to help by inertia, Ji Xiamo quickly held Pan Zilong's hand, and the dark light in his eyes flashed.

A pressure came from behind, and Jin Wuji grabbed Ji Xiamo's back collar with a cold face, and picked him up with one hand.

Ji Xia Mo turned his head and squeezed a mouthful of small white teeth. "Feet are numb, feet are numb......"

"Lord Wang, Qin Xiaoyan, let's go." Ji Xia Mo carefully dragged his clothes back from Jin Wuji's hand, and shrunk his neck timidly, he didn't forget Jin Wuji's ability to break the big lock with one hand, his small and thin neck, two fingers can be pinched.

The three of them were sent outside Pan's house by Pan Zilong, and got into the carriage one after another under Pan Zilong's respect.

"Xiao Mo, did you find anything again?" On the carriage, Feng Shaojin asked.

"No clue." Ji Xia Mo rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, and swept the suspicions he had discovered so far through his mind one by one, trying to find something that could be implicated.

"Lord Wang, you send a few people to Xuan Ya Pavilion to ask if Pan Zilong went there on the night of the fire, when he went, and what he bought."

"Do you suspect Pan Zilong?" Qin Yan was surprised.

"As I said, before the truth is revealed, anyone can be a criminal."

"Good!" Feng Shaojin nodded. "The king will send later."

"Also, send more people to inquire into the homes of the people living around Pan's Mansion, and list them all for me in the book, no matter how big or small. And the missing maidservant, find her for me. ”

"Ji Xiamo, I think this maid may be a murderer." Qin Yan came over. "She must have been jealous of Lord Pan for driving her out of the mansion, so she committed murder."

Ji Xiamo glanced at Qin Yan, deeply anxious about Qin Yan's IQ.

"Don't talk about the entire Pan Mansion, you can just find a little girl in your General's Mansion to see if you can kill Pan Zilong."

"......" Qin Yan

Too lazy to burn his brain with Qin Yan again, Ji Xiamo looked at Feng Shaojin on the side. "Lord Wang, since you know Pan Zilong, do you know if he can do martial arts?"

"Pan Zilong is very knowledgeable, and he is modest and sprinkled, and he does not sell his reputation and reputation, and this king appreciates it very much, but if he talks about martial arts, he should not understand it." Feng Shao frowned and thought. "This king remembers that he once said that he did not like to associate with reckless men, and even less to like swords."

"That's ......"

"What's wrong?"

"Tsk! I found something interesting. Ji Xia Mo grinned and winked mysteriously at Feng Shaojin.

"What's the secret?" Qin Yan was curious.

"You're everywhere!" Ji Xiamo slapped Qin Yan's face impatiently, pushing him aside. "It's past noon, let's go eat! Starving! ”

"How about going to the first floor? This king is in for a treat. ”

"Thank you, Lord ~~~~" raised his hands in gratitude.

Someone has a treat, don't eat for nothing!!

But this Pan Zilong, I'm afraid he has hidden a lot of secrets.
