Mu Chenmo picked up the file again and read it carefully.

It is written that after investigating the peony of Piaoxianglou, making charms, manipulating five men to kill three people, selling the corpses to the butcher, the butcher divided the body and sold the meat to the bun shop, a woman found a little finger with nails when eating the bun, and everyone went to Jing Zhaoyin to report the case. After Jing Zhaoyin's multiple investigations, he was convicted and sentenced to beheading, and was beheaded after the autumn.

"I'm going to take over this case, first, to investigate the Oiran peony, and second, to find out who faked and framed me."

Lord He looked at Mu Chenmo with an expression of not giving up if he didn't find out the truth, and breathed a sigh of relief, if it wasn't for Master Shen in his early years, he wouldn't have been able to sit in the position of Dali Siqing, how could he watch Mu Chenmo being framed by the villain.

I left the room where Lord He worked and came to the room assigned to me by the Yamen.

Mu Chenmo sat on the chair, pinched his brows, picked up the file and saw it again. On the same day, I bid with Qi Yu and Piaoxianglou, photographed the first night of the peony, chatted with her all night, drank, and talked very happily. Who else could have stolen a seal and made her words so similar?

"Mu Chenmo." Qi Yu's slightly hoarse voice interrupted Mu Chenmo's thoughts.

Mu Chenmo looked up and saw that Qi Yu had already entered his room.

"Who let you in?"

Mu Chenmo glared at Qi Yu dissatisfied, but found that Qi Yu's eyes were red and bloodshot, his eyes were faintly blue, and he looked tired, as if he hadn't rested for several nights.

"I heard Lord He say, I handed over the case of Piaoxianglou Peony to you." Qi Yu looked at Mu Chenmo with some irritation.

"That day, Chengnan moved bricks and left in a hurry because of Peony's case."

Qi Yu sat next to Mu Chenmo, leaned back on the back of the chair, stretched his legs straight, wrapped one hand around his chest, and pinched his brow with the other.

"Did you find anything?" Mu Chenmo raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Yu.

"I'm confused, I want to go to the prison of Dali Temple today to ask Peony, Lord He, let me find you."

Mu Chenmo got up and saw Qi Yu's long legs, frowned and circled his chest, and kicked it with his foot.

"Get out of the way."

When Qi Yu saw it, he immediately retracted his legs, quickly stood up, and took Mu Chenmo's arm and walked out.

All the way to the prison of Dali Temple, Mu Chenmo showed his token and took Qi Yu in.

Entering the prison cell, the two went directly to the cell where Peony was held.

Peony has disheveled hair, is dressed in prison clothes, has a bracelet in her hand, and is shackled on her feet, sitting on the ground, with her back against the wall and looking at the only small window.

Mu Chenmo called softly: "Peony." ”

Peony slowly turned his head, looked at Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu, and turned back again.

Qi Yu's voice was raised, and he grabbed the railing on the cell door with both hands and shook it vigorously.

"Listen to me, I've been tracking it down for the past few days, and you must tell us everything you know."

"Does it work? Isn't it just a life! I'll pay them! A hint of madness flashed in Peony's eyes, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a hint of mockery.

Mu Chenmo yelled at the peony.

"Peony, now I will take over this case! Look at him, look at me, we all believe that you are innocent, if you don't say it, how can we investigate, how can we pay you justice. ”

Peony looked at the two people in front of him, Qi Yu's face was tired, and the cyan stubble on his chin was slightly revealed, and Mu Chenmo's eyes were full of encouragement and affirmation.

Peony leaned against the wall, lowered her head and spoke slowly to the two.

Peony was originally known as Man Xiaoman, lived at the foot of Maoshan since childhood, the poor family could not open the pot, could not go up the mountain to worship the Taoist priest on Maoshan as a teacher, the master saw that she was pitiful and accepted him as an apprentice, and he was a girl who only taught her to draw talismans. But when Xiaoman was ten years old, he went down the mountain with his master to do things for a large family, got lost, was abducted by human traffickers, and sold to Fengyue places.

"Who in Piaoxiang Mansion knows your background, who you usually befriend and who you have drawn talismans." After listening to her story, Mu Chenmo asked three questions in a row.

Peony raised her eyes and looked at Mu Chenmo: "The girls in the building only know that I can draw talismans." When you're fine, let me draw one for them to keep them safe. After thinking about it, he said: "I have good friends with peony, lily, and Mo Ju, and Mo Ju is the smartest and fastest learner, and she can draw better than me." ”

"Who do you think could possibly frame you?" Qi Yu frowned and looked at the peony.

Peony shook her head. Mu Chenmo Qi Yu glanced at each other, feeling that he couldn't find any useful clues here in Peony. Comforted and left the prison.

The hall of Piaoxianglou is deserted, without the laughter and liveliness of the past.

The old mother saw Qi Yu and Mu Chenmo coming in, waved her handkerchief, twisted her waist, and walked in front of the two people.

"Seventh Prince, Lord Mu, you have to call the shots for Peony!" The old mother pulled the crying voice and covered her face with a handkerchief.

Mu Chenmo looked at the old mother calmly: "Mom, can you tell me about what happened in the past few days?" ”

"On that day, the officials rushed to the building and took the peony away indiscriminately." The old mother patted her chest with palpitations and said: "I stepped forward to reason with them, and the poor master said that she is the dementor Mei Ji, who knows evil magic and knows how to control people's hearts." ”

Qi Yu looked around: "Mom, let's take a look around." ”

The old mother hurriedly agreed to accompany the two of them around. was rejected by Qi Yu and Mu Chenmo.

Mu Chenmo looked at the upper and lower floors and said to Qi Yu.

"You're looking for it on the ground floor. I went up to the second floor. Qi Yu nodded in agreement.

Mu Chenmo went up to the second floor and looked for them one by one.

The layout of the rooms prepared for the girls in the Piaoxiang Building is actually similar.

Mu Chenmo pushed open the door of Peony's room, and what greeted him was a red round table and six round stools, and there was a tray on the table, which contained a wine jug and six wine cups. Turning to the inner room, I lifted the curtain of the door that the emerald beads had pierced, and saw a large carved bed with a purple curtain hanging down, and a dresser next to the bed, on which some jewelry was placed.

Mu Chenmo checked them one by one, but found no clues. Sitting on a round stool, I took a closer look at the room again. The old mother said that it was the evidence found here, the talisman with a strange fragrance.

"Mu Chenmo! There can be discoveries. Qi Yu's voice came from outside the door.

"I didn't find any useful clues downstairs either."

Qi Yu came to Mu Chenmo's side, moved a round stool and sat down, picked up the small wine cup on the table in his hand and played with it.

Mu Chenmo didn't make a sound, and muttered as he watched his movements intently.

"What's missing?" Tap your head with your hand.

"Don't fight, it's even more stupid to fight again." Qi Yu watched her movements teasingly.

"Fragrance Charm! Fragrance Charm! ……”

Mu Chenmo slammed the table and stood up, the strange fragrance charm, the scented charm, frightened Qi Yu almost dropped the wine glass he was playing with in his hand to the ground, Mu Chenmo excitedly grabbed Qi Yu's shoulder and said.

"Let's go, find my mother."

One step out, hurriedly went downstairs. Qi Yu followed.

"Mom, you can see a piece of evidence, a strange fragrance charm!"

The old mother hurriedly shook her head, and the poor master searched it out and took it, and I only smelled the fragrance of a hundred flowers.

Mu Chenmo picked up Qi Yu and walked out.

"Where are you going?"

"The room where the evidence is stored in Dali Temple, that charm, must be there."

Mu Chenmo let go of Qi Yu and got into the carriage, and Qi Yu hurriedly followed.

In the evidence room of Dali Temple, Mu Chenmo took the charm and looked at it over and over, sniffing it from time to time with his nose. The fragrance of the flowers that the old mother said was so faint that it was almost impossible to smell.

Qi Yu snatched it up.

"Slow down, that's evidence, be careful."

Looking at Mu Chenmo's nervous appearance, Qi Yu smiled smugly.

"Bah!" Qi Yu touched the charm with his hand.

Mu Chenmo thought that if this was in his previous life, it could be regarded as destroying evidence.

"It's not painted with cinnabar." Qi Yu looked up at Mu Chenmo, his eyes shocked.

Mu Chenmo stepped forward and looked at the talisman in Qi Yu's hand.

"If only I could know the ingredients." Mu Chenmo muttered to himself.

Qi Yu suddenly raised his head and looked at Mu Chenmo.

"Let's go, I'll take you to someone."

Qi Yu walked out of the door of the evidence in two or three steps, Mu Chenmo followed closely, he couldn't guess who he was going to, and thought in his heart that Qi Yu still knew such a strange person, if this was in his previous life, he could use an instrument to test and analyze it.
