The emperor waved his hand, "You don't need to look for him, I have an excerpt written by him here." ”

An Guohou doesn't care too much about the affairs of the court now, so he doesn't write much.

What is his handwriting, the emperor's impression is not deep.

After searching for a while, the emperor finally found a copy of An Guohou's recital.

"Come, come and see."

The emperor beckoned Wan Lin and Huo Jing over.

At the moment of opening the recital, all three of them showed puzzled expressions.

"The handwriting on this secret letter is not the same as the handwriting on the fold!" Huo Jing said with some disappointment.

Wan Lin also frowned, "It's really not a person's handwriting!" How so? ”

"Wait a minute, I'll go find an excerpt and take a look!"

The emperor said and rummaged for a while, and quickly brought another notebook.

"This is Dou Shangshu's excerpt?" Wan Lin guessed.

The emperor nodded, "That's right. ”

After opening Dou Xianxu's recital, the three of them showed disappointed expressions at the same time.

Wan Linxian said: "It's not Dou Xianxu's handwriting on the secret letter, in fact, this is normal. After all, the secret letter refers to Dou Xian's succession, how could it be their brother's handwriting? ”

"yes, that's common sense." The emperor first agreed with Wan Lin's words, and then said in embarrassment: "But whose handwriting is this?" Do you still have to compare all the notes with these two secret letters? ”

Wan Lin said: "There are not many shops in the capital that sell super paint smoke ink, if there are customers who often buy super paint smoke ink, or buy a lot of super paint smoke ink at one time, the shopkeeper will definitely remember." Why don't you just start here? ”

Huo Jing immediately agreed and said: "What Lord Wan said is, then let's start with the shop that sells super lacquer and smoke ink!" ”

"Wan Lin, since you are so anxious to investigate the case, then explore the case with the prince. But you have to be very careful not to let anything happen again. ”

After the emperor finished telling with concern, the eunuch brought in three bowls of ginseng soup.

"Your Majesty, the ginseng soup is ready. Let's drink the ginseng soup with the two adults. ”

The emperor said to Wan Lin with concern: "Your body has only recovered for a short time, and you drank ginseng soup to replenish your body." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

Wan Lin had no intention of expressing his gratitude to the emperor, and drank the ginseng soup with great gratitude.

Wan Lin and Huo Jing met King Jie on the way out of the palace together.

King Jie looked solemn and hurried, he only looked at his feet, and did not notice that the two of them were walking across from him.

Wan Lin and Huo Jing glanced at each other instantly, and they both understood each other's eyes.

They were all a little suspicious of King Jie.

"I've seen Your Highness!"

The two of them greeted King Jie in unison.

When King Jie saw them, although he stopped, he still had an anxious look on his face.

He asked Huo Jing first, "This king heard that you took someone to the Marquis of Anguo's mansion?" Can An Guohou have anything to do with what happened in the past few days? ”

Huo Jing replied truthfully: "It's hard to say this, and the minister doesn't dare to say any conclusions." ”

King Jie asked again: "Then what is the clue that you went to An Guohou's house to find?" Why did you go to the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion instead of investigating elsewhere? ”

King Jie's two questions caught Huo Jing off guard.

But Huo Jing's mind was calm, and he quickly thought for a while and replied: "The minister thinks that he should start with the harem family members first, and just go to the Marquis of Anguo's mansion for a routine investigation." Some clues have indeed been found in the Mansion of the Marquis of Anguo, but the connection with the case has not yet been determined. ”

King Jie looked at Huo Jing and smiled, "Hehe, although the prince is still young, he is very smart, and the father really chose the right person to hand over this case to you to investigate." ”

After questioning Huo Jing about the case, King Jie became concerned about Wan Lin again, and asked him about his kidnapping and recovery.

Because Wan Lin was still suspicious of King Jie, he didn't tell him too much, and he was polite and a little alienated.

King Jie knew that Wan Lin was a little more wary of people at this time than before, so he didn't blame him for seeing his attitude towards himself, and after chatting with him for a few words, he hurried away.

Wan Lin and Huo Jing looked at King Jie for a moment, and Huo Jing asked puzzledly, "Why did King Jie enter the palace in a hurry?" Is it for this purpose? ”

Wan Lin also guessed: "Eighty percent is for this matter." Let's go to the shop that sells super paint smoke ink first. ”

Yun Guifei was very well-informed, as soon as she heard that her brother's house was actually searched by Huo Jing and others, she was so angry that she immediately went to the emperor to reason.

"It seems that someone really wants to bring down our Dou family! Okay, if you make a move, this palace wants to see what else you can do? ”

Yun Guifei was angry, but she didn't lose her mind, and stopped in time before going out.

She suddenly realized that she should stand still.

Because the emperor is a Ming monarch, since he has not believed that the queen is the murderer of himself, he will definitely not easily believe that Dou Xianji has anything to do with these things.

Yun Guifei thought for a moment again, and still freshened up, but she didn't go to the emperor, but to the queen.

Wan Lin and Huo Jing quickly searched all the shops in the capital that sold super paint and smoke, and finally found a clue in the last shop.

The shopkeeper said that the amount of super-lacquered smoke and ink in his store is not much, although there are more powerful and rich people in the capital, but this ink can be sold for more than a dozen yuan a month.

Moreover, this ink is expensive, so there are not as many customers who buy this ink as there are people who buy other ink.

But there are two people who come here almost every month to buy five or six pieces of super lacquered smoke ink.

"Who are these two people?"

Wan Lin and Huo Jing couldn't wait to ask.

"One is Master Yu Hongxin, a wealthy businessman in the capital, and the other is His Royal Highness King Jie."

"His Royal Highness?"

Wan Lin and Huo Jing immediately glanced at each other again, and Wan Lin hurriedly reminded Huo Jing in his ear: "Don't be in a hurry to suspect His Royal Highness King Jie. ”

Huo Jing said a little unconvinced: "But King Jie is very suspicious, that Yu Hongxin is a businessman, so it won't have anything to do with this matter, right?" ”

Wan Lin said calmly: "Since both of them often buy Yu Hongxin, we should both go and visit." Because sometimes the more unlikely a person is, the more likely he is to be the real murderer. ”

Huo Jing was persuaded by Wan Lin, and hurriedly asked the shopkeeper for Yu Hongxin's address and went to his house first.

Yu Hongxin is one of the richest families in the capital, but their family made a fortune in business, and they have little to do with the imperial court on the surface.

When Wan Lin and Huo Jing arrived at Yu's mansion, Yu Hongxin was about to go out.

"Who are you two?"

Yu Hongxin saw that although the two of them were wearing civilian clothes, they were both extraordinary, and there was a team of officials behind them, so he guessed that they were officials.

Wan Lin was afraid that Huo Jing would be impulsive, so he hurriedly said, "You are Master Yu, right?" We're here to ask you something. Do you often buy ultra-lacquer smoke ink? ”

Yu Hongxin hesitated for a moment, and then said: "That's right, I don't have any hobbies, I just like to see the words written in super lacquer smoke and ink glowing purple jade in the sun." ”

Wan Lin couldn't help but smile enviously when he heard this, "You are so elegant!" ”

Yu Hongxin bowed his hand politely to the two of them and asked, "Please forgive me for being clumsy, what are you two like?" And why are you asking me this question? ”

Huo Jing was a little anxious and said directly; "This is the Lord Wan of the Imperial History Tower, and below is the Inspector Teshi. We suspect that you have something to do with a case, so we are here to investigate. ”

Huo Jing said and took out the token given to him by the emperor.

Yu Hongxin didn't dare to slack off when he saw the token, and hurriedly said: "Two adults, please come in!" What do you two want to check, the old man will fully cooperate. ”

Wan Lin said politely: "Can you take us to the study to have a look?" ”

Yu Hongxin nodded and said, "What's inconvenient about this?" Two of you, please! ”

Yu Hongxin led the two of them to the study.

After Wan Lin and Huo Jing came to Yu Hongxin's study, they suddenly had a feeling of opening their eyes.

Yu Hongxin's study is all made of golden silk nanmu, and as soon as he enters the house, he is greeted by a mellow aroma of the best agarwood.

Wan Lin read a lot of books, and at a glance he could see that there were many precious books on the shelves, and just one book was worth a thousand gold.

Not only that, but there are also calligraphy paintings by many famous artists hanging on the walls of Yu Hongxin's study, and even people like Huo Jing, who have no research on calligraphy and painting, can see that these works are very valuable.

And the super lacquer smoke ink that Wanlin regarded as a treasure was placed on the bookcase.

This ink is five or six yuan, which is equivalent to 1,800 taels of silver, and it hurts to see it.

Yu Hongxin said humbly: "The old man is a little shabby here, which makes the two adults laugh." ”

Wan Lin couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, and said in his heart that no matter how simple it was here, his study would become a pigsty.

Huo Jing didn't say too much to him, he came directly to the bookcase, and after looking at the inkstone, he picked up a piece of paper at the top of the desktop and looked at it carefully.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, as soon as he saw the words on it, Huo Jing immediately frowned and looked at Wan Lin.

Wan Lin saw that he was winking at him, and immediately leaned over.

Huo Jing whispered in his ear: "Lord Wan, when you look at the words on it, is it very similar to the handwriting on the secret letter?" ”

Wan Lin said quietly: "That's right, this handwriting is indeed very similar to the handwriting on the secret letter. ”

"What are you talking about, two adults?"

Yu Hongxin saw that the two of them were talking to each other, and asked curiously.

Wan Lin turned his head, smiled at him, and asked very naturally, "Are all the words on this written by you?" ”

Yu Hongxin replied with a little pride: "Hehe, the words on this are not written by the old man, but by my son, and his words are much better than the old man." He usually likes to copy books, saying that this can make the book solid. The following words were written by the old man. ”

After Yu Hongxin finished speaking, he took out another piece of paper from under this piece of paper, "Look, this is the old man's handwriting." ”

Yu Hongxin suddenly reacted that Wan Lin and Huo Jing seemed to be very interested in their father and son's words, so he asked strangely, "What do you two want to investigate?" ”

Huo Jing said directly: "We now suspect that Ling Lang is related to the kidnapping of Lord Wan and the assassination of Mrs. Yuxiu. Where's Ling Lang? Ask him to come with us to Dali Temple. ”
