Xilingyue responded: "Yes, there is something wrong, so my aunt asked me to ask about the situation." ”

Shopkeeper Liu suddenly sweated like rain: "You ask, you ask, the villain knows everything." ”

Xiling Yue thought for a while, and asked first: "Those two screens are pure gold?" The shopkeeper didn't cut corners, right? ”

"How dare the villain!" Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly argued, "That's what the servant and his wife want, you just give the villain ten dares, and the villain doesn't dare to cut corners!" ”

Seeing that his expression was sincere and not fake, Xiling Yue asked again: "How many people did the screen pass through before it was sent to the Jiedu Embassy?" ”

This is a wonderful question, which does not reveal that she knows nothing about the carving and process of the screen, and she can also inquire about the information she wants. Xiao Guo secretly gave her a thumbs up on the side.

Shopkeeper Liu didn't suspect anything, and replied truthfully: "The villain is in strict accordance with the instructions of his wife, and only two craftsmen are arranged to forge the screen, and the style and carving are all done by the villain, so the shop has been closed for two months, and I dare not have a trace of slackness!" ”

It turned out that this screen was carved by the shopkeeper Liu, and Xilingyue was a little surprised: "You completed the carving alone?" "Yes," shopkeeper Liu nodded again and again, "Didn't Madame say that she didn't want outsiders to know about it, the villain was also a carver in the past, and it took twenty years for Gān to save enough savings to open this shop, and it was an honor for the villain to have the opportunity to work for the servant and his wife, so he naturally wanted to go into battle in person." ”

Xiling Yue pondered for a moment, and asked pretending to be serious: "In that case, why did the pattern of the screen leak out and be known to outsiders?" ”

"Leaked?" Shopkeeper Liu was surprised when he heard this, "It's the style of the screen."

Leaked, or was the carved pattern leaked? ”

"It's a pattern." Xiling Yue said nonsense.

Shopkeeper Liu immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "I won't tell you, if the style is leaked, it is still possible, after all, the screen has passed through the hands of the other two craftsmen." But if it is an engraved pattern, the villain dares to make 10,000 guaranteed tickets and will not be leaked. ”

"Why?"

"Because that allusion was set by Sister Ling! The villain drew the pattern according to her instructions, except for the servant, Mrs. and Sister Ling, the villain didn't let the third ...... No, no, the fifth person has seen it! Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly explained.

It turned out that the allusion to this screen was set by Li Wangzhen, which was a major discovery. Xiling Yue gathered her mind and deliberately snorted coldly: "According to you, could it be that my aunt, uncle, and my sister leaked the pattern?" ”

"No, no, no, that's not what the villain meant!" Shopkeeper Liu was so frightened that his face turned white, and he reluctantly calmed down before he said, "Please allow the villain to say more, has the pattern been copied by someone?" ”

"Exactly!" Xilingyue's face sank more and more, "When the screen was brought to the hairpin banquet, there was a daughter of the family who said that she had seen it." My aunt was very angry when she heard this, and my sister couldn't speak clearly, so she asked me to investigate the situation. ”

"The conscience of heaven and earth! The villain is really wronged! Shopkeeper Liu stretched out his hands and said, "Look at how many calluses and blood blisters the villain grinds out on his hands for these two screens!" This screen is also the most proud work of the villain's life, how can the villain leak his hard work to outsiders? ”

"That's just as well." Xiling Yue became more and more bī true, looking at him suspiciously, "Did you really leak it?"

”

Shopkeeper Liu swore to the sky: "The villain is absolutely innocent!" ”

"Well, I'll trust you." Xilingyue took a sip of cheese and stood up, "Let's stop here today!" You will have to stay in the store these days, and my aunt and uncle will come to you at any time if they have any questions. ”

"Yes, yes, you give the villain a hundred dares, and the villain will not dare to slip away." Shopkeeper Liu respectfully sent her and Xiao Guo away from Rongbao Pingzhai.

When Xilingyue sat back in the carriage, Li Chengxuan had been waiting for nearly half an hour, but he didn't have the slightest impatience, and only asked, "How?" Any clues? ”

Xi Lingyue hesitated for a moment, and repeated the conversation between Fang Cai and Shopkeeper Liu.

Li Chengxuan did not express his opinion after hearing this, but asked rhetorically: "In this whole matter, do you have any doubters?" ”

Xiling Yue pondered for a moment and replied: "I had a brief discussion with Li Fushe yesterday, and we all suspected that the people around him did it. ”

"Absolutely." Li Chengxuan also thought about it, "At least Li Heng's death and the trick of the screen, the people in his house will not escape suspicion." ”

"What is the prince's opinion?" Xiling Yue humbly asked.

"Li Wangzhen." He pointed it out bluntly.

The two thought of going together, and Xiling Yue hurriedly echoed: "Indeed." She is from Ziqing, and the Jiang family has also gone to Ziqing, and she is most likely to get the news and use some means from it. And the shopkeeper Liu said that the allusion to the screen is also what she thinks, and she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I think it is not difficult for her to change the pattern. ”

"Besides, she has the best motive to kill you." Li Chengxuan added lightly.

Xiling Yue lowered her head. Yes, Li Wangzhen likes Brother Yi so much, and Brother Yi is with himself

Agree...... It is very likely that she heard some rumors in advance and learned that she was about to come to Zhenhai, so she set up such a well-planned situation to frame herself.

"But...... But she wants to frame me, there are many ways, why did she kill so many people? Xiling Yue couldn't figure it out.

"You should think about it from her standpoint," Li Chengxuan tapped her forehead with the knuckle of his middle finger, "Li Wangzhen is Li Shidao's daughter, do you know how much power her father has?" ”

Xilingyue has already done his homework: "I know that Ziqing Town, which is under the command of Li Shidao, is collectively referred to as 'Pinglu Ziqing', and has twelve prefectures under its jurisdiction: Zi, Qing, Qi, Deng, Lai, Yan, Hai, Yi, Mi, Yun, Cao, and Pu, which is twice as large as Zhenhai. Moreover, there are many rivers in the territory, such as Huáng River, Wenshui River and Jishui, with fertile soil, convenient farming and prosperous commerce; All states and counties are rich in silk cloth, and they are all good silk, which can occupy the top five; Qingzhou's fairy pattern silk and Yanzhou's mirror flower silk are also high-quality clothing and tribute. It can be said that Ziqing is extremely rich. ”

"It seems that you are really making Shu brocade." Li Chengxuan shook his head and smiled.

"Yes, my father-in-law's family is an imperial businessman, so I naturally pay attention to silk cloth!" Xiling Yue originally smiled and spoke, but when she said this, she suddenly frowned and shouted, "Ah, yes! Silk, silk! ”

Li Chengxuan looked at her: "What did you think of?" ”

"When the fake Ah Luo and Li Heng died, I found two pieces of silk cloth with blood next to the corpse, both of which were left by the murderer! The white silk seems to have been made in ...... From ......" Xiling Yue frowned a pair of moth eyebrows, but did not say any more, and gradually showed a look of surprise on her face.
