On the way out of Huanyu Mountain, Su Zhen asked Jingyao on the side, wanting to hear about the dumb slave from her mouth, but her mouth was very strict, and Su Zhen didn't pry out the slightest clue.

However, her silence also confirmed from the side that Su Zhen's thinking was not wrong. Jingyao is helping the dumb slave hide some secrets, and this secret must be related to the horse thief case back then.

However, when they rode into Kyoto Castle, they saw a variety of enamel porcelain displayed on the hawkers' stalls, and the patterns on them were detailed and lifelike.

Su Zhen jumped off the horse with wide eyes, walked to a vendor, picked up a porcelain doll and looked at it, the look of surprise in her eyes came from the bottom of her heart.

Jingyao approached on horseback, pursing the corners of her lips as if she didn't care, "I didn't expect you to like these gadgets so much." ”

Su Zhen's brows furrowed more and more, this cloisonné enamel is so precious, how can it be everywhere in one day?

"That's not right! It's a fake! Su Hao didn't know how to distinguish this at all, so she just casually said nonsense, "Boss, you're not authentic!" Actually selling fakes! ”

The peddler's face changed instantly, if it weren't for seeing Su Hao in an official uniform, he was afraid that he would have rushed out and beaten her violently, "My lord, you can't talk nonsense, how can this be a fake!" ”

"Really? I wonder who wrote these things of yours? ”

"It's... This... My lord, you see this everywhere, why are you staring at the villain? ”

"Then you tell you the truth, where the hell did these things come from? Not yesterday! ”

"My lord, they all say that scarcity is expensive, and this thing is true, but because there are too many, it is not worth much. You may not know that at noon today, there are a lot of purple dandelions floating in the sky, flying everywhere, and then after landing, they become these porcelain dolls. ”

"Dandelion? This girl has only heard of turning stones into gold and beans into soldiers, and has never heard of dandelions turning into porcelain dolls. ”

Jingyao trembled with laughter on the horse, making it clear that she didn't believe in the hawker's words.

"Girl, how dare the villain make up nonsense to deceive you, if you don't believe it, you can ask."

There were also knick-knacks selling at the nearby stalls, and he interjected, "What he said is true, those dandelions are much bigger than usual, and they look quite beautiful." ”

Su Zhen finally understood why Yu Changqing didn't take people to Huanyu Mountain in person, it turned out to be because of this strange thing.

Put the porcelain doll back in its place, neatly turn over on the horse, and ride away.

"Where are you going?"

Su Hao didn't respond to her, and quickly turned the corner and disappeared from Jingyao's sight.

Seeing that she was leaving, the vendor hurriedly said, "Girl, do you want to buy a few and go back?" ”

"Cut, keep it for yourself."

Jingyao glanced at it in disgust, and did not continue to follow Su Zhen, but decided to go back to the palace first.

......

The Governor's Office.

When Su Zhen returned to the Captain's Mansion, it was already completely dark, so she turned over and dismounted, and handed the reins to the guard at the door.

"Su Shaoqing, you can count it back, Lord Yu has been waiting for you for a long time."

Su Hao nodded and walked quickly inside.

Along the way, Suda kept hearing them talk about dandelions turning into porcelain dolls.

Inside the tooth door, Yu Changqing and Jin Lian were seriously flipping through the files in front of the table, and there were several well-dressed old men next to them who were identifying the porcelain dolls on the table, one of which was the one that Li Jiu found in Xiyan's room.

When Su Zhen pushed the door in, it attracted everyone's attention.

"Mistress."

"Well, I'm back." Yu Changqing glanced up at her slightly, and then picked up a pen and wrote a few lines on the paper, "What did you find in Huanyu Mountain?" ”

"Lord Yu, I want to bring up the case of Princess Jingyao being kidnapped by horse thieves in the twenty-ninth year of Shangde."

"What are you looking at that for? Now the most important thing is to find the murderer for Li Jieyu. Jin Lian said.

"As far as I know, Princess Jingyao was robbed by horse thieves after sneaking out of the palace when she was eight years old. In the same year, a group of horse thieves wantonly killed homeless people for the red goods escorted by the dart bureau, and kidnapped many women to go up the mountain. And the cottage where those horse thieves are located is the same mountain as Princess Jingyao. There is no room for two tigers on one mountain, and there is only one cottage on that mountain. ”

"What else?"

"Among the women snatched by the horse thieves, there is a person named Yue Xian'er, I suspect that the dumb slave is Yue Xian'er!"

Su Zhen untied the cloth bag on her back, revealing the painting inside, "You take a closer look at this painting." ”

Yu Changqing put down his pen and looked at the painting with Jin Lian, but he didn't know why.

Su Hao explained, "This painting was found in Xiyan's room, you can take a closer look, whether it is the handwriting or the style of painting, it is not at all the same as Xiyan. And you see the background in this picture of beauty, it is the river connected behind Huanyu Mountain, I have inquired, there were indeed lotus flowers planted there in the past. ”

"You suspect it's a dumb slave... That is, the painting that Yue Xian'er painted for them in your mouth? ”

Jin Lian still felt incredible, how could this good and dignified case of Jieyu's disappearance be involved in the horse thief case and the princess robbery case back then.

In fact, Su Zhen couldn't say what was going on, and always felt that there was a very critical connection point missing. and Mo Shen said that what the hell Yin Shen said before he fell into a coma, as well as his gestures, she still can't figure it out.

"The files of previous years are in the torture room, you go with my token, they won't stop you."

Su Hao took the token and said solemnly, "Well, thank you." ”

When Su Zhen went out, Jin Lian pursed his lips and asked, "My lord, do you really believe him?" I feel like we're about to be taken into the ditch by him, and the more we check, the more biased we get. ”

Yu Changqing shook his head, "The appearance of these weird porcelain dolls has proved that the direction we are investigating is correct, the more we feel that it is impossible, the closer we get to the truth, the more we must continue to investigate." If what Su Hao said is right, it was Yueluo who died in the palace, so what did Xiyan and Li Jieyu hide for? ”

"A woman in the Red Mansion, a Jieyu Niangniang in the palace, and a maid beside the princess, no matter what you think, these three people don't seem to be able to beat each other, right?"

"Whether there is a connection or not, you will find out if you look it up."

"Yes."

Jin Lian catered to him on his face, but he was uncomfortable in his heart, since Su Zhen was assigned by the emperor to their captain's mansion, the imperial lord seemed to value that young man very much.

......

There were many files stored in the torture room in the imperial chief's mouth, and after Su Zhen inquired several times, he went around and found the torture room.

It was heavily guarded and surrounded by trees, so any thieves or assassins could spot it immediately.

"Stop! Who are you? "As soon as I approached the front of the hospital, someone immediately stopped me.

Su Zhen showed her tooth card and the token given to her by Yu Changqing, "Two eldest brothers, under Su Hao, I have been ordered by the Imperial Lord to check the files of previous years. ”

The guard took the two signs to identify them, and after confirming that they were correct, they gave them back to her, "Go in, move quickly, don't linger in there." ”

"Got it, thank you."
