Everyone in the world knows that the things given by the emperor cannot be bought and sold privately, nor can they be broken and damaged, otherwise they may be convicted of a great disrespect.

But now that the jade unicorn given to the master by the emperor has been broken, if this is known by the emperor of the current dynasty, it is very likely that the upper and lower levels of the Yuan Mansion have been punished, and I think something similar happened in the previous dynasty.

There was a little palace maid who broke a Nine Dragons chicken blood cup that the emperor gave to the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine kindly concealed it for the little palace maid and replaced it with a fake, but she didn't expect these things to fall into the ears of the queen and convict a crime of bullying the king.

The little palace maid was killed, the imperial concubine was executed by Ling Chi, and the mother family of the imperial concubine was also questioned.

Although there is an element of palace fighting in which the queen is jealous and hateful, the fundamental reason is because of the Nine Dragons Chicken Blood Cup.

Therefore, it is an honor to get a gift from the royal family well, and if you mess it up, it is a double-edged sword that falls on the head.

So many people in the secret room have seen the fragments of the jade unicorn, if this falls on the ears of outsiders, then it is possible that the entire Yuan Mansion will be implicated.

Yancheng County Commander is also an understanding person, after confirming that the jade piece is the jade unicorn given to Yuan Gong by the emperor, he immediately said to the catcher behind him: "Cough cough, today's matter, don't reveal it to anyone." If anyone leaks the slightest bit of information, dereliction of duty will be punished. ”

"Yes." The two catchers clasped their fists and nodded.

Liu Yingyi's heart was satisfied with the county order's advice, and he took the jade piece into his arms, and saw that there were no other clues in this secret room, before raising his legs and stepping out of here.

Shui Qingxiang was quite surprised, whether it was the county order of Lan County or the county order of Yancheng, she respected Liu Yingyi at the same level, I really don't know what kind of identity this Liu Yingyi is, why is she so respected?

She was also a little disappointed with the results of today's search in the secret room, she thought that there were clues about Yuan Youcheng being poisoned in this secret room, but she didn't expect that all of them were Yuan Gong's previous belongings.

In Shui Qingxiang's mind, I can't help but think of an old man in the age of sixtieth year, sitting alone in the secret room holding the items in the Bogu shelf, reminiscing about the past.

The most reluctant to leave here was Ning Wuze, who carefully looked at everything here, as if he saw the master standing in front of him again.

In the end, he reluctantly took one last look and left the secret room.

After everyone came out of the secret room, Liu Yingyi asked everyone to move out of the secret room one by one.

Yuan Yishan, who was guarding at the door, saw the big guy come out, and asked expectantly: "How is it, how is it, how is it inside?" ”

No one paid attention to him.

He thought that when he found his father's secret room, he would find some priceless treasures in it, but he didn't expect that it was just some worthless broken things, and his face was full of disappointment.

Liu Yingyi led Yuan Yishan to a no-man's corner, and took out the jade unicorn fragment just now from his arms: "Have you seen this fragment?" ”

Yuan Yishan's face immediately changed, "This ...... Isn't this a jade unicorn? Where did you find it? How, how did it break? ”

As long as everyone knows that the things given by the emperor cannot be destroyed casually, even if they are the things given by the emperor, it will be ruined all over the house.

"When was the last time you saw the Jade Kirin? Has anyone else seen it? ”

Yuan Yishan's mood suddenly became nervous, "The last time I saw the jade unicorn was more than half a month ago, because this thing has always been placed in my father's study and kept by my father, so we don't want to ask too much." It wasn't until a few days after my father's death that we found out that the jade unicorn in my father's study was missing, and when we asked him, we didn't say anything, just told us not to track it down. ”

"As for whether anyone else has seen it, I really don't know. My father is a quiet man, and I have never allowed others to enter the study, and I am busy with business and rarely enter the study; The second child doesn't like to read, and he won't go in; Only the third child occasionally talks with his father all night in the study. Even the hygiene of this study was cleaned by his father, I remember that once, Yang Xiaolan went in once, and was scolded by her father and did not allow her to come in again. ”

"Yang Xiaolan?" Yoo Young-yi was a little curious, and seemed to hear the name for the first time.

There was a hint of embarrassment on Yuan Yishan's face: "It's my stepmother, the current Mrs. Yuan." ”

Yuan Yishan actually called Mrs. Yuan's name, it can be seen that he does not respect this stepmother, it seems that what Mrs. Yuan said before is true, the Yuan family wants to drive her out of the Yuan Mansion after the death of Yuan Gong.

Liu Yingyi felt that the muddy water of the Yuan family was deeper than he imagined, and not long after the jade unicorn in the study disappeared, Yuan Gong was poisoned, Liu Yingyi felt that there must be some kind of connection between it, but he didn't find it for a while.

"Do you know what's so extraordinary about this jade unicorn?" With Liu Yingyi's understanding of the first emperor, it is impossible to send an ordinary jade unicorn to a friend.

Yuan Yishan thought about it for a while, and then said: "I heard that the emperor regarded my father as a confidant, and he often lamented that if my father was not pure, he would also be a good official who could be of great use in the court, so he gave him a jade unicorn." My father once showed us that in addition to the transparent and ingenious jade of this jade unicorn, there is also a hidden compartment inside. ”

"What? Is there a dark grid in the jade unicorn? ”

"Yes, there is a hollowed out piece of that jade unicorn, which can just hold the space of two inkstones." Yuan Yishan gestured with his hand and tried to recall.

"The size of two inkstones?" Yoo Young-yi muttered thoughtfully to herself.

"How many families are there in the Yuan Mansion?" Liu Yingyi asked suddenly.

Originally, he wanted to ask this question yesterday, but because he always thought that there were important clues in the secret room, he didn't find it here for the time being.

The expression on Yuan Yishan's face was a little unnatural, "Well, although our Yuan family sounds like a big family in Yancheng, all the family members are added together, and there are only twelve people in total." ”

"Are the coachmen and gardeners included?" Liu Yingyi is quite skeptical of this number, you must know that the clan members in these years, even if they are small families, there are more than ten or twenty families, because there are many servants, which is also a manifestation of family wealth.

Yuan Yishan nodded and affirmed the number.

"So among these people, how many people can get close to the master's diet."

"Well, all the meals in the house are all in charge of Wu Ma and Xiaohong in the kitchen. My father didn't like too many people around me, so I only sent Xiao Guizi and Kong Hao to take turns to serve them, and Yang Xiaolan occasionally cooked some side dishes for my father. ”

"Okay, call all the people in your house, and I'll question them one by one."

Although Yuan Yishan showed a little reluctant look on his face, he still agreed.

When Liu Yingyi and Yuan Yishan were talking just now, Shui Qingxiang was listening not far away.

When Yuan Yishan left, Shui Qingxiang stepped forward and asked, "My lord, are you going to ask alone?" ”
