Compared with the prison of the Criminal Department, which specializes in detaining felons of the imperial court, and the Yushitai Prison, which detains convicted and impeached officials, the specifications of the Kaifeng Mansion Prison are indeed much lower, but this is still the place where the people in Beijing talk about the tiger, and once the prisoners who are thrown into the Kaifeng Mansion Prison have to take off their skins if they want to come out.

At this time, Jin Yi, who was locked up in the prison, was also in a bad situation, because of the serious injury of his broken hand, coupled with being bound by chains, the whole person shriveled to the ground, and he didn't even move, if it weren't for the ups and downs in his chest, he would have been regarded as a corpse.

When Sun Tu came to the cell and saw his half-dead appearance, his brows still wrinkled slightly: "Didn't I let people take care of him?" He was badly wounded, but he couldn't stand the toss. ”

Shen Liang explained with a wry smile on the side: "Dutou, this is already preferential treatment, otherwise how could this Jin Yi be locked up here alone?" And the injury on his hand has also been treated, and there will be no problem for the time being. ”

Sun Tu nodded at this time, waved his hand to let the jailer who accompanied the two of them in open the prison door, and waited for him to retreat before stepping into the cell and looking at Jin Yi condescendingly: "Jin Yi, do you know what a felony you have committed?" would actually come up with such a means to abduct the daughter of the Yu family, once the people of the Yu Mansion know, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to even want to die peacefully. ”

These threatening words did not make the other party react in the slightest, and he still lay there as if he were in a coma. Sun Tu didn't get angry because of this, but just smiled to himself: "It seems that you have put life and death out of the way?" It's also true, when you take the risk to collude with the thieves of the Pink Swallow, you have already planned to die at most, right? But are you really willing? Obviously, you are in an alliance of companions, but as a result, they suddenly turned their faces and denied that they had killed you, if my people hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid you and Miss Yu would have died at his hands, right? ”

Jin Yi's body, who was just lying quietly on the ground, suddenly trembled, and his eyes slowly opened, looking at Sun Tu thoughtfully. But he still didn't speak, as if waiting for someone to continue.

Sun Tu didn't disappoint him either, and continued: "I won't hide it from you, I came to ask you today to find out those pink swallow thieves and wipe them out. This is not only to vent your evil anger for you, but also to ensure Miss Yu's safety in the future......"

"Butterfly, she's in danger?" Jin Yi finally opened his mouth at this time, obviously for him now, the most important thing is Yu Dieyu's safety.

Sun Tu was relieved, looked at him and said, "Now that Miss Yu has been taken back by the people of the Yu Mansion, there will naturally be no danger, but as long as the Pink Swallow is still there, it will be difficult to say in the future." You should also see the cruelty of those people, if they have the heart to deal with her, unless she has been hiding in the mansion, there will always be a time when she will fall into their hands. And what do the people of Pink Swallow do with women, I don't think I need to say more, right? ”

Seeing that Jin Yi still didn't mean to speak again, Sun Tu said again: "Do you think I'm alarmist? Do you think that since this matter is over, Pink Swallow will not seek her trouble again? You can think so, but what I want to say is that these people are the most cautious, and in order to protect themselves, they can decisively abandon their subordinates, they can kill you, and they dare to keep a woman who may know some of their inside information? Do you dare to bet?

"If you want to protect Miss Yu, the only option is to cooperate with our government to help us capture all the people who are Pink Swallow. In this way, not only does Miss Yu no longer have to worry about being calculated, maybe your charges will be mitigated, and you will be able to go out to see her alive. ”

"Official...... Are the officials telling the truth? This time, Jin Yi was finally moved, he struggled to get up, looked up at Sun Tu and asked.

"My Sun Tu doesn't have to use such words to trick you. Of course, if you want to mitigate the guilt, it depends on what kind of clues and information can be provided. Sun Tu said with a smile, and then waited quietly.

After pondering for a moment, Jin Yi spoke again: "Actually, I don't know much, although the fifth uncle ...... Wang Wu had mentioned that he wanted to lead me into the gang, but it turned out that such a thing happened before he got to that point. ”

"This official is really curious about this, you are just a down-and-out scholar, why do they value you so much?" Sun Tu took the opportunity to ask.

"Because of one of my family's crafts – perfumery." Jin Yi smiled bitterly: "My Jin family was originally a famous perfume family in Tokyo, and it was my father who felt that studying and studying was the right way, so he let me study poetry and books." As a result, I was not gifted enough, not only did I fail the imperial examination, but I also failed to fully inherit the family handicraft, so that after the death of my parents, my family was ruined......"

"Perfumery? What kind of incense do they want you to make for them? Sun Tu hurriedly asked, as if he already had a clue.

Jin Yi hesitated a little before he said: "It is a kind of incense powder that can faint under a sniff, and he asked for the patriarchal system at the beginning, but he failed to do his best at that time, and then he left Tokyo." In my father's notes, there was indeed a relevant statement, but it was still a little insufficient, so they asked me to concoct this ecstasy incense for them......"

Even though he had already guessed, Sun Tu's face still changed after hearing the answer. If the Pink Swallow really gets such things, I'm afraid there will be more innocent women who will be poisoned by them. So what he was most concerned about now had become this: "Have you completely concocted this ecstasy incense?" ”

"Not yet, their requirements are that the smell should be light, the effect should be fast, and there are always shortcomings."

"But my people haven't found anything to do with it in your house."

"I go somewhere else every day to make fragrances for them, and there is no abnormality there."

"But where?" Sun Tu hurriedly asked, this is a clue.

But Jin Yi shook his head: "I don't know about this." Every time I visited, I would be blindfolded and sit in the car, only to know that I was still in the city of Tokyo. ”

"It's really cautious." Sun Tu sighed softly, but from this it could be seen that this place should be the key nest that the Pink Swallow attaches great importance to. So he asked, "You didn't find anything?" For example, what are the characteristics of the surrounding environment? ”

Jin Yi thought about it carefully and said, "I only remember that there was a sound of bamboo coming in from time to time, and I really couldn't think of anything else." ”

"Silk and bamboo sound......" Sun Tu repeated in a low voice, "Are there any other clues?" For example, who you come into contact with. ”

"Only Wang Wu has contact with me, but I heard him say that there seems to be a boss or something who is their leader, but I have never heard him mention who it is."

Sun Tu sighed with some disappointment, it seems that this golden scholar really can't say more valuable clues. But suddenly, he thought of a little more: "You should have used a lot of related spices in your perfume during this time, right?" ”

"Yes, because there is always something lacking, and they are in a hurry, so I will mix it many times a day, and the spices used should be around dozens of catties."

Sun Tu nodded: "Then you tell all these spices." ”

Shen Liang, who was guarding in front of the door, also quickly understood Sun Tu's intentions, and hurriedly memorized them by heart, and after Jin Yi reported more than a dozen spices, he had already memorized them all in his mind. When Sun Tu looked at him, the subordinate clenched his fists and said, "This is a lowly position, so let people go to the spice shops in the city to inquire about who has bought these things." ”

"As long as you buy a large amount of relevant spices in a short period of time, it is suspicious, and it is better to find out the whereabouts of those people for me." Sun Tu instructed again, and Shen Liang took the order and left.

Sun Tu asked Jin Yi some more questions, and it was not until he confirmed that he could not provide more clues before he said, "Then you can rest here." Rest assured, the officials have let people take care of you, and they will not embarrass you. ”

Just as he was about to leave, Jin Yi opened his mouth again: "Official...... Butterfly, she ......"

"She's fine, but I'm afraid the fate between you and her is over." Sun Tu sighed and said. He admired everything that the man and woman had done for love, but he couldn't do anything about it, after all, the disparity between the identities of the two parties was too great, and Jin Yi was so bold as to do such a thing.

Sun Tu walked out of the cell, only to find that someone was waiting for him in front of him, but it was Cui Luoshang. The latter still has a lot of blood stains on his body, and his spirit looks a little excited, obviously he is the only one who tortures Pink Swallow.

Seeing this, Sun Tu's heart moved: "Old Cui, but are there any clues?" ”

"It's all clear." Cui Luoshang flattered, and then said: "These guys really can't explain anything, but the small ones still have some gains." One of them happened to meet the younger one. ”

"Oh? Did you see him when you asked you to find out about the Pink Swallow before? Sun Tu immediately guessed.

"Exactly, this person is a buddy from Chunxuan Building. I didn't talk to him, but I still remember what he looked like. Cui Liushang said.

Sun Tu nodded: "Chunxuan Building?" The green building in Little Sweet Water Alley? It seems that it is time to talk to them, presumably this time these people will not say that they don't know anything. ”

Sun Tu had sent people to the large and small Qinglou Goolan in the city to inquire about the news, but the answers of the people in these places were surprisingly unanimous, that is, he was innocent and had never heard of the existence of any pink swallows. And when the people in the yamen ask again, these people will take out their backers to talk about things, which makes these servants in Kaifeng Mansion a little difficult to handle.

But this time, the people of Chunxuanlou have fallen into the hands of Sun Tu, and the evidence is conclusive, so I am not afraid that they will be so perfunctory to themselves.

"Lao Cui, I'll take you to Chunxuan Tower for a drink tonight." Sun Tu said, with an unpredictable smile on his face.
