Chapter 238: Investigation 3
"Also...... Still conditional? Xilingyue politely refused, "Or...... Forget it, don't dare to work hard for the prince. โ
Li Chengxuan's face did not change: "Don't worry, I just want to know your identity and origin, and the purpose of your coming to Zhenhai." โ
Hearing this, Xilingyue gritted her teeth, lifted the curtain and said to the coachman: "Stop, I want to go down!" โ
The coachman kept moving, turned his head and grinned at her: "Hehe, the detective lady is offended, I only listen to the prince's orders." โ
Only then did Xi Lingyue find out that the coachman was pretending to be Xiao Guo's guard, but because he had smeared his face black and dirty, and was wearing gray clothes and hunched over, he didn't notice it!
Xilingyue couldn't get out of the car, and she didn't have the courage to jump out of the car to escape from the street performance, so she had to sit back in the car, but she made up her mind not to say a word.
Li Chengxuan pretended to be displeased: "It's okay if you don't say it, but you know the secret of this king, but this king doesn't know your secret, so this king can't feel at ease." "Do you know what will happen to you?" โ
Xiling Yue shuddered suddenly.
Seeing this, Li Chengxuan evoked a heart-warming smile, and his words were vague: "How?" Would you rather reassure the king, or would you ......"
"Don't!" Xilingyue didn't dare to listen any further, bit her lower lip, and asked hesitantly, "If I say it, you can really let me go?" โ
"Nature." Li Chengxuan lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, and said leisurely, "The secret of this king is also in your hands, what are you afraid of?" โ
Xiling Yue didn't answer immediately, and struggled in her heart for a long time before she finally made up her mind: "Okay, I'll tell you everything!" โ
After half a burnt incense, the carriage was still circling in Runzhou City, and Xilingyue had already told all about his identity and origin, without reservation. Li Chengxuan gradually laughed after hearing this: "In this way, you pretended to be Jiang Yunyi, but you just wanted to go to the Jiedu Embassy Mansion to find you...... Future sister-in-law? โ
"Not exactly." Xiling Yue confessed, "I was looking for an opportunity to persuade her to break the marriage." โ
Li Chengxuan was speechless.
Xilingyue also felt that she was too embarrassed, and lowered her head and said: "If you want to scold, scold, I also know that I am stupid, so I will be used." โ
"Audacious, stupid!" Li Chengxuan made a comment, but it was not enough, and added, "Self-inflicted!" โ
"Yes, yes, I already regret it, and now I just want to get out of the place and leave the place quickly." Xiling Yue hung her head.
"The twenty-day deadline is coming soon, what do you have a clue?" Li Chengxuan asked the key.
"Naturally, I don't have a clue," Xiling Yue was a little dissatisfied when she thought of this, "The time is too tight, Li Servant was originally going to give me two months, why did you change it to twenty days?" โ
"This king is saving you." Li Chengxuan said succinctly, "If it takes two months, you won't be able to leave Zhenhai." โ
"Why?" Xilingyue didn't understand.
Li Chengxuan obviously didn't want to say more, and changed the topic strongly: "What did you just hear?" โ
Xi Lingyue's thoughts were taken away by him, and in an instant, he shifted to the investigation of the case, and replied seriously: "It's nothing, I just inquired that one night in May this year, a group of people quietly moved into Jiang's mansion." โ
"If you enter the house at night, you will either be a traitor or a thief." Li Chengxuan commented lightly.
Xilingyue also thought about it and nodded approvingly: "I always feel that the murderer of the prince is the same group of people who burned Jiang's mansion. โ
"Don't jump to conclusions just yet."
"Could it be that the prince has a clue?"
"No," Li Chengxuan's eyes sank, "However, you should go find someone first." โ
"Looking for whom?"
"The craftsman who carved the golden screen."
After half a stick of incense, the carriage stopped in front of a shop called "Rong Bao Ping Zhai".
Li Chengxuan lifted the curtain and glanced out, and said, "It's inconvenient for me to show up, let Xiao Guo accompany you in." โ
Xiling Yue nodded again and again, she naturally didn't want Li Chengxuan to show up, after all, this prince was too jade tree in the wind, once he appeared, he would definitely be impressive, and it was hard to guarantee that he would not be noticed by the mastermind behind the scenes.
Xilingyue got out of the carriage and walked into Rongbao Pingzhai accompanied by Xiao Guo's guards. What catches your eye is a variety of screens, most of which are carved from wood: sandalwood, ebonywood, huรกng pear...... Occasionally, there are also stone, lacquer, and plain silk screens, with different patterns and different relief hollows, which are amazing.
A middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper greeted him and asked enthusiastically, "This lady wants to buy a screen?" โ
Xilingyue took out the waist card of the Jiedu Embassy and motioned to him: "Shopkeeper Liu, can you take a step to speak?" โ
Shopkeeper Liu looked at the waist card and didn't ask anything, and led her and Xiao Guo's guards to the backyard wing. The two of them immediately sat down, and the shopkeeper Liu arranged for someone to serve the cheese, and then asked respectfully: "I don't know how the villain should call you?" โ
Xiling Yue was about to open her mouth to make up an identity, only to hear Xiao Guo take the first step to reply: "My lady is the niece of Mrs. Gao, the daughter of the school inspector Sikong and the Pinglu Ziqing Festival. He said with a look of pride on his face.
Xi Lingyue wiped the sweat from her forehead, and secretly said that Xiao Guo's nonsense is not very clever, and I am afraid that it will be exposed.
Sure enough, Shopkeeper Liu said "Huh": "No, Mrs. Li has accompanied her wife to the shop a few times...... villain
You know her. โ
Xilingyue sighed helplessly, thinking about how to complete this lie, but Xiao Guo said solemnly: "Did I say that my lady forgot the truth?" My lady is the sister-in-law of the true lady, and the second line in the family - the name of the boudoir is called 'Forget the Moon Lady'! Do you remember? โ
These words made Xilingyue dizzy, but Shopkeeper Liu actually understood, and hurriedly bowed and apologized: "Ah! It turned out to be Li Erniang! The villain said that you have an outstanding temperament and are noble and extraordinary...... Forgive the villain's clumsiness, and please bear with me. โ
Li Wangyue? It's good, I went out on my own and got a new name. Xiling Yue gฤn laughed and waved his hand at the shopkeeper Liu: "It's okay, when I first arrived in Zhenhai, the shopkeeper shouldn't recognize me." โ
After saying that, she glanced at Xiao Guo, and the latter even raised her eyebrows in response, which means "Look at how witty I am, how adaptable I am."
Xiling Yue simply ignored his existence, and listened to the shopkeeper Liu asking: "I don't know why Li Erniang's visit to the small shop is expensive?" But what kind of work did the servant and his wife give? โ
"It's not, it's just that my aunt and sister have some things that are inconvenient to show up, so they asked me to ask the shopkeeper a few words." Xiling Yue casually talked nonsense.
Shopkeeper Liu immediately became nervous: "Ah, I don't know...... I wonder what Madame commands? โ
"A few months ago, my aunt and uncle built two huรกng gold screens in your place, I don't know if the shopkeeper still remembers?" Xiling Yue deliberately lowered her voice.
"That's nature, the villain has never seen so much huรกng gold in his life, how can he forget." The more the shopkeeper Liu listened, the more nervous he became, and he asked cautiously, "But what's wrong with that screen?" โ
