Li Jingshan and Karis walked to the backyard. When they met other people in the palace along the way, they all looked at the two of them sideways. Li Jingshan did not squint and walked calmly. Karis looked at it with a hint of appreciation.

"These days in the palace," said Karis with a sudden smile, "the people we have seen are either fearful of Prince Carlo's might and genuinely afraid of us, or they look down on us. Only the girl is calm, calm and admirable. ”

Li Jingshan smiled faintly, "Put yourself in your shoes, if I am lucky enough to visit Heathrow in the future, I naturally hope to be treated normally." Arrived, please. ”

This vacant room is in the northwest corner of Jin Yuzuo, and it has already been vacated after receiving His Majesty's holy decree, but its location is remote and dark and cramped. Moreover, I don't know if Yue Zangfeng deliberately made things difficult, this room was so empty that there were no tables and chairs, it was really an "empty" house.

Karis looked around and didn't complain, just put the big box he brought with him on the ground, and politely asked Li Jingshan if she could let someone move a set of tables and chairs.

Li Jingshan hurriedly went down to make arrangements. After explaining what she needed, she told her before quitting the workshop.

"Li Niangzi, why are you so polite to the Nayi people." Someone said disdainfully: "Hmph, you can do it with ingenuity, and you want to steal our porcelain skills, but you are a group of speculative and shameless people." ”

Li Jingshan didn't want to argue, but smiled lightly: "Those who come are guests, and they should have basic hospitality." After that, he didn't pay attention to it anymore, and went straight to Yue Zangfeng to restore his life.

-

That night, Li Jingshan and Ruan Mingyu talked about what they saw in the palace.

"Since the beginning of Emperor Yang's sea transportation, it has been more than ten years, and there are more than ten overseas countries. The Heathrow kingdom is said to be the westernmost and most powerful one. ”

Ruan Minh Yu put her arms around Li Jingshan and fed her a grape, "It is said that iron ore is abundant, so the smelting process is developed, and later it has developed into various handicrafts related to it, including mechanical arts. I just didn't know that they would use tricks in jewelry design. ”

Paying attention to overseas trade for the first time, Lai Ching-shan couldn't help but ask, "What kind of goods usually come and go?" It seems that the overland Silk Road is more prevalent. ”

"The trade routes on the road have been around since the founding of the country, and the maritime trade routes have only been open for a few years." Ruan Mingyu said with a smile, "Besides, the sea is treacherous, and the risks are much higher than on land. ”

"Have you ever thought about opening up business overseas?" Li Jingshan swallowed a grape fed by Ruan Mingyu, and returned half a piece of sugar cake to him in return.

"It's not that I haven't thought about it. But first, the risk is too great," Ruan Mingyu swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said, "Second, the best sales are the tea shop, porcelain shop, and silk shop, which are basically monopolized by those few big merchants in the capital, and it is not easy to get involved." If it is purchased in other places and then shipped out, the cost is too high and it is not cost-effective...... What's the matter, my lady wants to go to sea? ”

Li Jingshan naturally thought about it, but after listening to Ruan Mingyu's analysis, he also knew that not long after he took over Jingbao Pavilion, he was committed to competing with Si Zhenfang a few days ago, and it was understandable that he had no time to take care of the overseas market.

And the purpose of her inquiry was not to rush to develop overseas, but to learn more about Heathrow.

"I don't know much about it, but you can ask someone." Ruan Mingyu said with a smile.

Li Jingshan just wanted to ask who he was, but she saw Ruan Mingyu's eyes glancing at the Guanyin willow bonsai in the corner of the house, and looking at her with a smile.

"You mean, Shopkeeper Yuan?"

Ruan Mingyu was very satisfied with the communication between his wife and himself, and pecked her on the cheek to express his approval, before continuing: "He is a nymphomaniac, and he likes to go around looking for some rare flowers and trees. Zeng asked the merchants to collect exotic flowers and plants overseas, and he had more dealings with these people and a lot of information. ”

Li Jingshan happily responded, and was thinking about finding a suitable time to visit the shopkeeper Yuan again. Suddenly, there was an urgent knock on the door outside the courtyard, and after a while, Ruan Shu knocked on the door outside, "Young master and young grandmother, someone from the palace said that he wanted to pass on the young grandmother to enter the palace immediately!" ”

Ruan Mingyu and Li Jingshan glanced at each other, now that it was past the time when the palace gate was locked, it was so urgent, could it be that something big had happened?

Ruan Mingyu personally accompanied Li Jingshan to the palace gate and put a cloak on her, "You go in, I will wait outside the palace gate, and after entering the palace, I want to send someone out to spread a message, so that I can rest assured." ”

Li Jingshan glanced at the dark and gloomy road inside the palace gate, but her heart was warm, and she smiled and nodded, "Well, don't worry. It's going to be fine. ”

Ruan Mingyu tied her cloak and tied it, and printed a kiss on her sideburns before letting her go, "Well, let's go." ”

Li Jingshan took a few steps forward, turned around, and saw the warm light from the wind lamp hanging next to the carriage, and still couldn't help but smile.

And when she entered the Sizhen Bureau, she realized that something really happened - the set of jewelry paid tribute by the Heathrow Kingdom was actually stolen in the palace!

"You need a waist card to enter and exit the palace, and you need to change your clothes and search your body when you enter and exit the Sizhen Bureau, so strict prevention and inspection, it was even stolen! What do the guards in this palace do to eat?! ”

When Li Jingshan walked into the Sizhen Bureau, most of the craftsmen made by Jin Yuzuo had arrived. He was hearing the four princes being furious in the lobby, and the commander of the forbidden army who was on duty that night stood in front of him, eager to lower his head to his chest.

Yue Zangfeng's face was also discouraged, and he said gloomily: "The one who reported the case was the little eunuch who changed shifts in the Sizhen Bureau at that time. When he went to take over, he found that the jewelry was missing. and hurriedly reported to his office. He didn't dare to hide it, so he immediately reported it to the lieutenant. "If something so big happens, it's not good for a bad one, and it's light to lose your life.

Thus it can be concluded that the thing was lost before the end of the day. The palace gate is locked, and if you are taken out of the palace, you are afraid that it will be troublesome. Captain Jian of the forbidden army said heavily.

"Hmph, trouble! I still hid this matter from my father and grandmother, and pressed it in this courtyard first. But the king borrowed the jewel from his grandmother and promised to return it in three days. If you can't get it out then,"

The fourth prince smiled grimly, "I can't protect everyone present." ”

The craftsmen were panicked and shouted "wronged" one after another.

"Enough!" Jian Duwei shouted: "The box where the jewelry is placed has been carefully twisted and unlocked, and there are no obvious traces left around, which indicates that the thief committed the crime." If you can't find the real thief, none of you can escape the involvement! From now on, if you can't find a thief, you can't leave the Bureau for a day! ”

When everyone heard this, some people were not convinced, and the forbidden army standing outside the door stepped forward with two big-eared scrapers and beat people up. Everyone gathered in the lobby in frustration, at a loss. Li Jingshan remembered that Ruan Mingyu was still waiting outside the palace gate, but now he couldn't even pass on the news. It seems that you still have to rely on your own ideas.

She walked up to Captain Jian and saluted, "Dare to ask the general, can you let me take a look at the scene?" ”

Jian Duwei didn't dare to assert himself, and turned his head to look at the four princes first. Seeing that the fourth prince's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't stop him, he nodded and said, "Please come with me." ”

When Li Jingshan followed Jian Duwei to the warehouse, she heard the lazy voice of the fourth prince, "If anyone else wants to see, you can follow." ”

Yue Zangfeng, as the person in charge, had to follow. Two or three more craftsmen followed.

Walking into the warehouse, Li Jingshan did not pay attention to the empty jewelry box, but carefully looked at the traces on the ground and windowsill. I asked a few more questions about the situation when I found out that the theft was stolen. Clues slowly took shape in her mind.

She sorted out her thoughts for a moment and said to Jian Duwei, "General Lao asked the four princes to deign to move here, I roughly know who this thief is." ”

Captain Jian: "???!!! "I hurriedly went to invite the four princes.

Yue Zangfeng looked at Li Jingshan worriedly, and said worriedly: "Ah Shan, this matter is not a child's play, you don't want to come nonsense." ”

Li Jingshan smiled at him soothingly, "Don't worry, Master, I won't talk nonsense." ”

"Yes, this king wants to hear, what do you think?" The fourth prince had walked in and looked at her with interest.

Li Jingshan saw that everyone was there, and gave a salute to the four princes, and said: "The general's analysis is correct, it was the thief of the Sizhen Bureau who committed the crime and stole the jewelry. It's just that this thief is a thief with a weak heart, but he leaks out of the horse's feet. Yes, there is. ”

Li Jingshan pointed to the ground, only to see that on the ground about half a foot in front of the cabinet, there were half shallow mud footprints. Because the light was dim and it was not clear to see, everyone was concerned about the empty jewelry box, and no one had noticed the footprint before.

Jian Duwei hurriedly squatted down and looked at it carefully, while chanting a word, "Thin rope pattern soles...... It's soft-soled shoes, and the hem is added, and the stitches are fine......" he looked up and exclaimed, "Go and find out who wears such shoes!" ”

Yue Zangfeng smiled bitterly and stopped, "General, wait a minute." This is the special shoe for our treasured bureau. All of them had a few pairs of hands. ”

Captain Jian looked down, and sure enough, the shoes on the feet of those craftsmen were exactly the kind of shoes he had just mentioned.

"Whew! So what is the use of this footprint! Jian Duwei slapped his thigh in annoyance.

Li Jingshan said calmly: "The shoe style is the same, but everyone's shoe size is different. We can deduce the height of the person based on the length of the shoes. Generally speaking, seven times the length of a person's feet is his approximate height. ”

Jian Duwei suddenly realized, and hurriedly lowered his head to measure the length of the half of the footprint.

The fourth prince's face looked much better at this time, and he looked at Li Jingshan with a slight provocation in the corner of his eyes, and there was an indescribable emotion in his peach blossom eyes, and he smiled lightly: "I can't see it, you really have two brushes." ”

At this time, Captain Jian got up and reported loudly: "This master without footprints is about six feet five to seven feet two in height. ”

Immediately, the forbidden army stepped forward and pulled out all the people who matched this height. When Captain Jian looked at it, he frowned: "There are a lot of people." ”
