Qiu Li's early morning went to the Yamen to find Cai Zhifu to come over, and as soon as Cai Meng heard that King Xuan had arrived in Liangzhou, he hurried over without saying a word.

Rong Che said: "This king found out that there was something wrong with a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, so he wanted Cai Zhifu to cooperate with this king to go and search together. ”

Cai Meng listened to Rong Che's words, and said with a straight face: "Although the prince commanded, these things should be done by the lower officials, I don't know what is wrong with the Zhuangzi, the lower officials will definitely find out clearly for the prince." ”

Rong Che said: "This king thinks that there is something hidden on the Zhuangzi that should not be hidden, so you just need to cooperate with this king to investigate." ”

When Cai Meng heard Rong Che's words, he knew in his heart that King Xuan meant to just use the rights of their yamen, so he responded: "Even if the prince commands, it is." ”

For such an interesting person, it is much better to deal with it than the previous prefect of Qianzhou.

Rong Che turned his head to Ji Yanning and said, "Let's go." ”

Ji Yanning stepped forward and bowed slightly to Cai Meng.

Cai Meng returned the salute and asked, "I don't know who this girl is?"

Ji Yanning said: "My surname is Ji." ”

Rong Che said: "Miss Ji is also an important witness in this investigation. ”

Cai Meng nodded, understood, he glanced at Ji Yanning, and knew that the girl in front of him was probably not small.

He asked: "I don't know who owns the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city that the prince said? The lower officials should take down the people in advance to control and interrogate, otherwise they will startle the snakes, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to clean up." ”

Since he wanted to ask Cai Meng for help, Rong Che would not hide it from him, and said: "The owner of the Zhuangzi is named Yao Yun, and I heard that he is the owner of Yao Ji's lantern shop. ”

When Cai Meng heard Yao Yun's name, his eyes moved slightly, he was slightly stunned, and then said, "Lord Wang, will there be any misunderstanding in this?"

Hearing Cai Meng's words, Rong Che raised his eyebrows slightly: "What?"

"Xia Guan has met this Yao Yun a few times, and I think this person should not be a traitor. Cai Meng said, "And there has always been no problem with Yao Ji Lantern Shop, and it has a very good reputation in Liangzhou City." ”

Hearing Cai Meng speak for Yao Yun, Rong Che and Ji Yanning were a little surprised.

It seems that Yao Yun rejected Ji Yanning so confidently yesterday, and he had his own confidence.

If it weren't for the government, how could Yao Yun ignore Ji Yanning like this.

Rong Che's eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "It seems that Lord Cai doesn't believe in this king, and he is not willing to cooperate with this king in investigating the case?"

Cai Meng felt Rong Che's displeasure, and immediately spoke: "Xia Guan doesn't dare! Xia Guan just thinks that Cai Meng behaves well on weekdays, not like an evil person, and Yao Ji's lantern has a good reputation, and the four princes also know it, and they especially like this Yao Ji lantern." ”

Hearing the name of the four princes, Rong Che's sword eyebrows raised slightly.

"Don't say that the Zhuangzi is Yao Yun's, even if it is the fourth prince, this king has to find out. Rong Che's tone was cold, and he looked at Cai Meng's face with some displeasure, and said, "The case that the emperor ordered this king to investigate, is it possible that Lord Cai thinks that he can use the four princes to suppress this king?"

A chill appeared all around Rong Che, and his eyes stared at Cai Meng in front of him.

Cai Meng bowed his waist and arched his hand: "The prince is angry!

Rong Che glanced at him and said, "Then Lord Cai is willing to assist this king?"

"The prince is handling the case, how can the lower officials not cooperate!" Cai Meng immediately said, "The lower officials will do it!"

A trace of sweat oozed from Cai Meng's forehead.

King Xuan is not very old, but his aura is terrifying.

He knew very well that what King Xuan said was true, even if the courtyard belonged to the four princes, if King Xuan wanted to investigate, no one would dare to stop him, with King Xuan's current status, he was afraid that the four princes would not take it seriously.

Cai Meng secretly said that he was really stupid, and he actually bumped into it, and heard that King Xuan had a gentle temperament, but it seemed that it was not the case.

Even if he is a person with a gentle temperament, he is also a prince with a noble status, and he has always only had the share of the prince's orders, where is his share of refutation from this petty official?

Cai Meng didn't say more, he didn't want to provoke such a person when King Xuan was in the limelight, so he could only gather all the officers and soldiers in the yamen and follow Rong Che and them in the direction of the outskirts of the city.

Ji Yanning naturally followed.

He really didn't understand how Yao Yun could suddenly provoke King Xuan.

However, Liangzhou is not far from Chang'an, and he has heard a lot about some things, and now everyone knows that King Xuan is investigating the theft of official silver from the Yamen in Qianzhou, and he has been implicated in a lot of things.

Originally, he wanted to inform Yao Yun in advance, but he didn't go, if King Xuan found out that he was facing Yao Yun in private, he was afraid that he would be involved, and he was afraid that he would not even be able to protect his official position.

Even if you trust a person, you don't know what that person has done in the past.

In such a situation, the best option is to protect yourself.

The group walked with the government for about an hour before coming to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city.

Yuan Wu was so sure that Ying Caiwei's bones were on this Zhuangzi, and they naturally would not let go of the opportunity to search for Zhuangzi.

"Open the door!" a catcher stepped forward and knocked Zhuangzi's door.

An impatient voice came from Zhuangzi: "Who!"

Catching Kuai was still banging the door, shouting, "Open the door, open the door, hurry up!"

Not long after, someone in the village finally opened the door, and two or three people walked out, and as soon as they opened the door, they saw a large number of officers and soldiers outside.

"Official, is there something wrong?" the little guy looked at these catchers, a little surprised, and his voice weakened.

With a cold face, he said, "We suspect that you have hidden some stolen goods on your Zhuangzi! Get out of the way, let us go in and search!"

"Huh...... How could we possibly have any stolen goods here......"

The little guy was about to explain, but he didn't want to listen to any explanation at all, so he rushed into the village with people.

Rong Che and Ji Yanning glanced at each other, then followed and walked directly into the Zhuangzi.

"Aren't you the ones who were going to buy Zhuangzi two days ago? Why did you become a member of the government again?" The little guy saw Rong Che and Ji Yanning, and his memory was good.

After all, their Zhuangzi has always been relatively remote, and there are not many people who will come here, and their group still thought of buying this Zhuangzi at the beginning, so they were naturally more impressed.

Seeing the little guy pointing his finger at Rong Che and them, Cai Meng's face sank behind him, and he scolded softly: "Presumptuous, you dare to be rude to the prince!"

A few little guys looked at each other, and then silently hid aside.

This Zhuangzi said that it is really not small, a large piece of land has been circled, and three small courtyards have been built, but they are all relatively empty, and there are relatively few rooms, and many of them are the original land that has not been touched much.

The Zhuangzi in the countryside is different from the house in the city or in the house, the Zhuangzi is mainly used for work or leisure time, and the Zhuangzi for work is relatively rough.

Ji Yanning walked into the Zhuangzi, looking at the neat and clean courtyard, he felt that it was okay, but for some reason in his heart, he felt that this Zhuangzi always had a cold feeling.

She started from the main courtyard, searched around, did not let go of the grass next to her, even the corner of the house, and slowly walked through the courtyard.

She didn't like this place.

In the past, the places where her bones were buried, when she approached them, she felt uncomfortable at best, not as repulsed as she did now.

Cai Meng gathered the entire Zhuangzi people, a total of seven men, and a mother-in-law who could not speak.

This woman looks to be in her fifties, with gray hair, but she still walks steadily, and her skills are sharp.

Their eyes were on Ji Yanning and his party, not knowing what they wanted to do, and their hearts were uneasy.

"Official, I don't know what we have done!" one of the men said, "Our Zhuangzi has always been peaceful, and nothing can happen!"

The others agreed: "Yes, we are Yao Ji's Zhuangzi, and we make lanterns or something on weekdays, and we don't know anything else." ”

Cai Meng glared at them and motioned for them to shut up.

"If there is a crime, wait until we search again. Cai Meng said.

At this time, Ji Yanning had already walked around the main courtyard and found nothing abnormal, so he walked in the direction of the backyard.

Seeing Ji Yanning and them going to the backyard, the little guys were about to stop them, but when they saw the posture of the officers and soldiers, they could only shut up one after another.

Ji Yanning did find a lot of lanterns in the backyard.

There were a few lanterns in the same pattern, just like the six lanterns she had seen.

"Miss, look at this!" Pearl picked up one of the six-sided lanterns and waved at Ji Yanning, "Isn't this the kind of lantern we saw?"

Ji Yanning turned her head and nodded, it was indeed the six-sided lantern she saw.

There was also one on the table not far from her feet, and she slowly stepped forward, picked up the six lanterns and looked at them, these six lanterns were half-finished, except that they had not yet been pasted with paper, and the others were almost done.

It is made of fine sandalwood, and the carving process is lifelike, which is really good compared to ordinary lanterns.

But how can it be worth five thousand taels of silver?

She put the lantern back on the table, and looked around, still unable to sense the direction of the bones.

The soldiers and guards searched for it, and stepped forward to say to Rong Che: "Lord Wang, nothing was found, it seems to be a normal Zhuangzi." ”

Rong Che nodded and didn't say anything else.

Only Ji Yanning would know where the things were, and how could others easily find them.

But I don't know how the officers and soldiers leaked the news, Ji Yanning had just finished searching the backyard, and Yao Yun had already heard the wind and came to Zhuangzi.

Seeing that Zhuangzi was full of officers and soldiers and guards, Yao Yun's face was very bad.

But no matter what, he was just a businessman, and he had no authority to order these officers and soldiers to leave his Zhuangzi.
