The same Xiuyu, the same carving skills, but different jade pendants, it seems that there is only this possibility.

Lin Ruo agreed with his guess: "Yes, this jade pendant is Xiuyu from southern Xinjiang, which is very precious, and the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs record that there are two pieces of the same Xiuyu jade pendant, one was given to my mother, and then it has been carried on my sister's body, and my sister's birthday is engraved on the back, but this one is not." Moreover, the books of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not record the whereabouts of another piece of Xiuyu. ”

Murong Chong's eyes were dark: "You mean, this jade pendant is Baique's?" ”

Lin Ruo nodded firmly: "Yes." ”

"Why?"

"Ah Shu said that Liyan had sent someone to find him and asked him to steal this jade pendant from my hand."

Murong Chong frowned: "Do you believe him?" ”

This "he" undoubtedly refers to Leng Shu. Lin Ruo can trust this guard to entrust his life, which really can't help but be a puzzling thing.

Lin Ruo blinked: "This jade pendant, I have always collected it closely, except for the grass, no one else has had the opportunity to take a closer look, if it is not mentioned by others, Ah Shu will not know about this jade pendant, let alone know that this jade pendant is made of Xiuyu." So, in this matter, I believe in him. As for the side, I am sure of the loyalty of the man who ordered him to protect me. ”

Murong Chong nodded: "It's good that you know it in your heart." It's just that if Liyan wants this jade pendant, how can you be sure that it belongs to Bai Que, and not someone who spends money for Jiuxing to get this jade pendant? ”

Lin Ruo shook his head: "I'm not sure, but I'm inclined to have this jade pendant white." Ah Shu once mentioned that Bai Que was poisoned by the Tang Sect, about eleven years ago, don't you think it's a coincidence? Moreover, when he arrived in Beijing, although he caused a lot of trouble to the Lin family, he did not pose a threat to the Lin family, and it was more like wanting to muddy the water in the capital. In addition, Bai Que's identity is too mysterious, and Brother Li sent people to Yangzhou to investigate for a long time, but there was no result. Ah Shu said that Bai Que's identity, in addition to leaving Bai Sanniang, was only known to the late old pavilion master and his father-in-law. ”

Referring to Leng Shu's father-in-law, Lin Ruo's heart froze, he hesitated for a moment, but still chose to speak: "By the way, Ah Shu's father-in-law's deathbed entrustment is related to the fourth brother, and he has clearly stated that he is not allowed to endanger the fourth brother's life. So fourth brother, you say, Ah Shu's father-in-law, will it be the old man of the palace? ”

Murong Chong twisted his eyebrows, and a white light quickly flashed in his mind, so fast that he couldn't catch it, so he could only shake his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"If this jade pendant is really owned by Bai Que, then his identity is only afraid of ...... Not ordinary people. Murong Chong looked at Lin Ruo, a trace of worry crossed his face, and said in a deep voice, "Bai Que and Leng Shu's father-in-law, I will let Wu Blame investigate, you wait for my news, don't let yourself be in danger." ”

Lin Ruo chuckled: "Don't worry, Brother Li has already persuaded me." If Bai Que was the owner of another jade pendant, then he should have found out that the jade pendant had been replaced, and he also knew that his jade pendant was in my hands. Since he waited eleven years for him to appear, he must have his plan, and I will not risk my life. ”

"That's good," Murong Chong relieved his heart, but when he heard Lin Ruo say that Li Yan already knew about it, he sulked in his heart again, "Li Yan also knows?" ”

"Well, if it weren't for Brother Li, maybe I would have gone straight to find the dead under impulse," Lin Ruo saw Murong Chong's displeased look and gently tugged at his sleeve, "Fourth brother, Brother Li is like a father and a brother to me, so after something happens, I will most likely ask him for ideas." Don't taste it, okay? ”

The cowardly end note, with a rare coquettish meaning, made Murong Chong's heart itch unconsciously, and the stuffiness accumulated in his chest was swept away in an instant, and he wanted to take Qiao with a straight face for a long time, but looking at that delicate face, he unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth and blurted out a "good". All the worries were gently peeled off.

Lin Ruo, who originally planned not to go back for dinner, obediently followed him back to the house because of Murong Chong's unexpected arrival, but she was not half unwilling in her heart, and Murong Chong took her hand all the way back to the house in a carriage, and never let go of it, causing the maid to whisper frequently, with an excited smile of gossip on her face.

Now that she has returned home, there is no doubt that Lin Ruolai is in charge of the dinner arrangement, and Steward Tao and Tao Fulai will inform her of tomorrow's arrangements. Since he was going to give Murong Chong a surprise, he naturally avoided Murong Chong.

Therefore, Murong Chong went to the study alone, summoned Wu Blame, and arranged for him to check the bottom of Bai Que, and at the same time carefully told him to be extremely cautious and cautious - after all, it involved the killer organization Jiuxing, and also involved the death of the first killer.

"By the way, the shadow guards left by my father, do you know their whereabouts?"

The reason why he asked so much was because Lin Ruo mentioned Leng Shu's father-in-law. If it is an old person in the palace, a person who can cultivate a skill like Leng Shu is the most likely to be a shadow guard in the past, I believe Lin Ruo also thinks so.

replied without blame: "Those who followed the old prince to the north, including the former deputy shadow envoy, because of Beiqi's plot, none of them came back alive." There are only five people who stayed in Beijing to protect Princess Yu, including the former shadow envoy, that is, the subordinate master. Master passed away ten years ago, handed over the position of shadow envoy to me, Shadow and Styx followed the prince to the south five years ago had an accident, the remaining two, Ender lived in the suburbs of Beijing, and there was still news with his subordinates, and Shadow returned to his hometown eight years ago, and there was no whereabouts. ”

Murong Chong knows all these people, but in comparison, they are unlikely to be Leng Shu's father-in-law.

"The shadow guards who followed my father to the north back then really didn't come back?"

"Yes," Blameless nodded, "at least, not in any way with the Shadow Guards. ”

Murong Chong twisted his eyebrows.

"Lord Wang?"

"Then have you ever fought with Leng Shu?"

"No, but I've seen him stretch out his hand, simply sharp, one move to defeat the enemy, if it is a fight, his subordinates are not sure of victory."

Although he didn't know Murong Chong's intentions, he still told him frankly.

Murong Chong pondered for a moment and said, "You go to Zidian and Qingshuang, they have been with Leng Shu for the longest time, and they should know more about his skills than you, you guys ponder carefully and see if you can find a clue or two from his moves." ”

"The prince is suspicious...... The origin of Leng Shu is related to the shadow guard? ”

Murong Chong waved his hand: "It's hard to say, I'll talk about it when you have the result." ”

"Yes, my subordinates are commanded."

Blameless got the order, neatly turned into a black shadow, and left the study. Murong Chong looked through a few pages of the scroll absentmindedly in the study alone, seeing that the time was almost the same, he put the scroll in his hand on the case and walked towards the front hall.
