Granny Yu smiled and introduced: "This tall is jade, and the thin is amber." ”

Xiao Chengzi smiled on her face, but she was contemptuous in her heart, what is an amber girl, her face is yellow and thin, she looks like she is malnourished, how can she be a lady's personal ring?

On the contrary, it is this jade that is the appearance of the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Hello two sisters, the slave has already seen it, don't delay the two sisters to serve Miss Sima. Granny Yu, whose residence is behind this courtyard? ”

Xiao Chengzi didn't find anything abnormal, and saw that the walls of this Qingtian Courtyard were more than seven feet, so he asked the back casually.

Granny Yu took Xiao Chengzi out and replied: "The alley behind that is the residence of the people in the house, and the one separated from the young lady by a wall, only the maid-in-law lives." ”

When he was about to walk to the Hanging Flower Gate, Xiao Chengzi had nothing to say and smiled: "Granny Yu, Miss Sima's personal maid ring is a family child, right?" That jadeite is not bad. ”

Granny Yu accepted the silver ticket today, was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law has lost his eyes, hasn't he?" Amber is the granddaughter of the old lady's companion, and Jade, which the young lady bought back from the street. ”

Xiao Chengzi was shocked in her heart, bought it from the street? This Sima Mansion is too unsophisticated, right?

Just as she was about to ask questions, Granny Yu had already sent Xiao Chengzi to the front hall and turned around and went back to the backyard. Xiao Chengzi saw that there were twenty or thirty people standing densely in the front hall, and he didn't make a sound, and stood quietly next to him.

Yan Rongling was counting people according to the roster, except for Lao Li, who was guarding the gatehouse, everyone else was already here.

The background of Sima Mansion is not enough, and the subordinates in the mansion are also uneven, from the perspective of Yan Rongling and Xiao Yao. There are neither burly and bold people, nor handsome people, if you have to say that Sima Yu and any of them are reluctant, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public.

Yan Rongling didn't see the flaw, so he had to say goodbye to Prime Minister Sima Cheng.

After leaving Sima Mansion, Yan Rongling asked, "What's the situation inside?" Did you find anything? ”

Xiao Chengzi told the truth, and said at the end: "Master, according to the slave, unless you are strong in martial arts, you can't climb the wall." Besides, in the big place of Qingtian Courtyard, there are almost ten people to serve it, and it is not very likely. ”

Originally, Yan Rongling was very sure that it must be an internal thief who caused Sima Yu's pregnancy, but now it seems that it doesn't make sense.

"Brother Xiao, let's go to the Criminal Department to see where Sima Yu's confession is and see if there is anything to discover."

Xiao Yao was also puzzled, and nodded and replied, "Okay." ”

After tossing for a day, Yan Rongling and the three of them stayed in the Criminal Department to carefully read the files, and only returned to the palace before the palace gate was locked.

In the Qingzhi Palace, Gu Fanghua had already gone back and forth many times, and anxiously complained to Danzhu and them: "Why haven't they come back yet?" I'm in a hurry. ”

Danzhu stopped the needle and thread on the embroidery, searched his eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when the princes come back, they will definitely let people pass the news." ”

Gu Fanghua pouted, tearing the orchid she had just picked back from the Imperial Garden, and said unhappily: "It's all grandmothers, and they won't let me go with me." ”

Danzhu and the others snickered and didn't speak, only Zimei said: "The county lord thinks, which master can solve the case?" The criminal department didn't solve the case, and when the time came, it was solved by several masters, and it didn't surprise the emperor? ”

Gu Fanghua couldn't help but stuff the orchid in his hand into Zimei's mouth, and scolded with a smile: "Do you think they can really win the veterans of the Criminal Department who have been solving cases when they become monks halfway?" It's just to see who Lord Kim wants to sell. ”

Zimei muttered, "So troublesome? The slave maid still thinks that the masters can do anything! ”

As she was talking, Ying'er came to report: "Back to the county lord, the fifth prince came over and said that there was news from outside to tell the county lord." ”

Gu Fanghua didn't want to pay attention to Yan Shaoxun, but she wanted to know the news outside. I had to take Danzhu and Zimei out to see Yan Shaoxun.

Yan Shaoxun smiled brightly, and when he saw Gu Fanghua come out, he smiled with a pair of peach blossom eyes, narrowing into a long and narrow line.

"Cousin Mingzhu, I went to the Criminal Department today and checked the time of the case, as well as the interrogation files of Sima Mansion's subordinates."

Gu Fanghua hurriedly asked, "Fifth cousin, what did you find?" ”

Yan Shaoxun said regretfully: "Sima Yu's boudoir is heavily guarded, there are eight people serving in the courtyard, and there are two rough mothers-in-law guarding the door. It is difficult to establish the theory of internal thieves, I am afraid that it is caused by outsiders. ”

Gu Fanghua frowned and said, "Didn't Sima Yu say anything?" ”

Sima Yu only said that in the past two months, she has only gone out on March 15 and has seen Brother Zhong's foreign man. As for whether Brother Zhong violated her, she didn't even know about husband and wife. ”

Yan Shaoxun was a little embarrassed to say, this Sima Yu's situation looks like the Virgin Mary, and she is pregnant without a man.

Sima Yu insisted that he had never been close to a man, and the closest person was Zhong Zibin. Although this did not directly accuse Zhong Zibin, it was also very unfavorable.

Gu Fanghua sneered and scolded: "This Sima Yu is purely ambiguous, how can she be pregnant if she is not close to a man?" ”

Yan Shaoxun smiled and comforted: "Cousin Mingzhu, don't worry. I will definitely be able to find out the truth and return Brother Zhong's innocence. ”

Gu Fanghua was noncommittal, and asked instead: "What about the sixth cousin and the ninth cousin?" Did they find anything? Are you all in this together? ”

"That's not true, my sixth brother and I went to visit Brother Zhong first. I heard that the sixth brother went to Sima Mansion later, and the ninth brother went back to Wuping Hou's Mansion first. ”

Yan Shaoxun looked at Gu Fanghua sullenly, and then said, "Why don't I go to the Qinguo Mansion tomorrow and ask Miss Zhong to come into the palace to accompany you?" ”

Gu Fanghua refused: "No need, now the Zhong family is on the cusp." If Jiaojiao enters the palace tomorrow, it will soon spread to the streets, and it will be said that the Zhong family has entered the palace to ask her grandmother for help. ”

Yan Shaoxun never thought that Gu Fanghua had thought it through so thoroughly.

Secretly thought: It is estimated that only by solving this case can Gu Fanghua look at it differently. In this way, it is even more important to hurry.

"Cousin Mingzhu, then I'll go back first, you rest early."

Gu Fanghua waved her hand listlessly and replied, "Okay, I know." The fifth cousin will go back to rest first, and you must tell me if you have any news. ”

At this time, Yan Qihuo was also talking to Empress Jiang about the progress of this case in the Criminal Department.

After finishing speaking, Yan Qi sighed: "Queen Mother, judging from the confession and evidence alone, I feel that Sima Yu seems to be a child given by God, and I don't know why they want to hold on to the Zhong family." ”

Empress Jiang sneered: "What a god-given child, it's just a fool's errand." This made Bengong a little suspicious of whether Sima Yu was pregnant. ”

Yan Qi smiled and said, "Queen Mother, this is true. ”

Empress Jiang tapped the armrest with the red gold ruby armor on her tail finger, and said in silence for a while: "Xiao Jiu, this matter is not as simple as it seems. ”

"Why?"
