After Liluo received the news from Ning Yilai, they met at Xie Yu Teahouse, and many leaves were scattered outside the teahouse, and there was a burst of osmanthus fragrance.

Ning Yi drank tea and looked at Liluo, and seeing that she was still frowning, he comforted softly: "Don't worry, the Jade Rat senior will be fine." ”

Liluo nodded, she knew in her heart that Ning Yi was comforting her, and she also knew that now was not the time to be sentimental, and she needed to find the person behind the scenes quickly, she remembered what Wang Xiaoyue said about the eldest grandson's mansion and the woman in black, so she asked: "Brother Ning, why did they kidnap these girls to come to Beijing?" ”

Ning Yi heard the words "Brother Ning", his heart was as sweet as drinking honey, he thought about it, and replied: "As far as I know, the industry of Changsun Mansion has done well in recent years, Changsun Ming is shrewd and capable, and has accumulated a lot of property for Changsun Family, but he doesn't like to socialize, and he doesn't have much contact with us, and I don't know much about him, I only know that he is a Jingshi who came ten years ago, and because he has some kinship with Changsun Mansion, he took refuge in Changsun Mansion, it seems that because of the big water in his hometown, the family is gone." ”

After listening to this, Liluo nodded, and made a big splash, could there be any hidden meaning behind this, she asked, "Then do you know where Changsun Ming's hometown is?" I want to go and check the file. ”

After serving a little pastry, Ning Yi pushed the pastry in front of Liluo, and said warmly: "You eat something first." I remember that he seemed to be from Quanzhou. ”

Liluo took a bite of the chestnut cake in front of her, the strong chestnut flavor, fragrant but not greasy, she ate the whole in one go, after eating she wiped her mouth and said: "These days, I have checked several of his industries, in addition to some embroidery workshops, that is, some dyeing workshops, and small workshops for sewing and washing clothes, almost all of the workers in them are women." At first, I thought they had written to trick these girls from other places into coming in order to squeeze them to do their labor. There are many girls in Jingshi, and they would rather be maids in the noble mansions of the high gate than go to these dyeing workshops to work as female workers. ”

Ning Yi looked at Liluo with a pair of eyes and listened very seriously.

Liluo was a little embarrassed, she touched her skirt a little twisted, and said: "So you say, is there a possibility that Changsun Ming used letters to trick these girls into coming to Jingshi, and controlled them in a certain way, so that they were forced to work in these dyeing and embroidery workshops." ”

Ning Yi saw that Liluo had thought so deeply, and couldn't help but secretly admire her in his heart, he nodded: "There is this possibility." He remembered the matter of the Wu Mansion that he had investigated recently, so he continued: "Have you heard of Wu Shu, a member of the household department? ”

Liluo thought about it in her heart, she frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "I have never heard of it, is this person related to this case?" ”

"Wu Shu is a member of the household department, an official-level eight-grade, he can be a member of the foreign lang, not that this person is capable, but he was introduced, the household department also has the country's population information, and he is also very good at imitating handwriting"

"You mean?" The apricot eyes of the pear fell wide, and they were blazing.

Ning Yi nodded: "I guess that it was Changsun Ming who pushed him to this position, and Changsun Ming was in cahoots with him, colluding with him, one of them used the information of the letter and the imitation handwriting to abduct these girls to come to Beijing, and the other person hid these girls somewhere." ”

Liluo was a little surprised after hearing this, and then she fell into deep thought, Ning Yi knew that she was thinking about things at this time, and waited patiently on the side.

As if thinking of something, she said, "I always think it's not a good deal." ”

"What's not a good deal?" Ning Yi was a little surprised.

Liluo looked at Ning Yi and said what he thought in his heart: "It's not cost-effective for Changsun Ming to kidnap a girl, think about it, according to the law of our dynasty, abducting and selling a girl can be sentenced to death, to put it bluntly, it is a capital crime to kill the head." Just to save a few labors, he abducted so many girls to come to Jingshi, isn't he afraid of killing his head? ”

Seeing that Ning Yi listened carefully, Liluo continued: "Last time, I heard you say that although the Changsun Mansion is a noble family of the imperial court, the family is not as good as before, and there is almost no real power in the court. ”

"You mean, Changsun Ming has other intentions?" Ning Yi suddenly stood up and asked.

Riluo nodded: "I think his profit should be ten times or even more than a hundred times, so he would openly take such a big risk." ”

Ning Yi also had a great interest in Changsun Ming, and he said: "Okay, I have ordered someone to follow him closely in the past few days, I want to see what tricks he is playing behind his back." ”

Liluo nodded hurriedly: "Fortunately, there are you." ”

Ning Yi wanted to touch Liluo's head, but he was worried that Liluo would be shy in broad daylight, so he had to hold back.

Liluo thought of the jade rat, so she continued to ask, "What you said last time, is there a whereabouts of the woman in black?" ”

Ning Yi shook his head: "I have searched all the rivers and lakes, and I have never heard of this person." This person King Jin has been tracking it down, and I believe that there will be news soon. ”

"King Jin?" How could King Jin know about this, Liluo asked curiously.

Ning Yi nodded with some relief and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is also involved, when I went to Little Willow Lane that day, the King of Jin was already there." ”

"He went after seeing the fireworks?" Riraku asked.

Ning Yi nodded: "It should be, the jade rat is a famous hero on the rivers and lakes, quite prestigious, and the woman in black doesn't dare to do it easily." ”

Liluo nodded after listening, she felt that she needed to write a letter to Lang Qingfeng, it was already the third day, and there was no news from the master, as the master's son, he had the right to know this.

After the two chatted for a while, Ning Yi sent Liluo home, and he also walked towards Biyue Boathouse, he must find a way to find evidence of Wu Shu's crime. Originally, Ning Yi has always been free and uninhibited, but the occurrence of the Jade Rat incident this time made him very vigilant. He didn't want to see Liluo disappointed, and he didn't want to see the people around him in danger. When he saw that Jing Yu always rushed to the scene of the incident as soon as possible, he had a sense of crisis.

Julai Inn.

When Jing Yu rushed to the Julai Inn, Shangguan Chi, the girl, was gnawing on chicken legs in disgrace, she didn't have much rest last night, and she used her brain too much, early this morning, she hurriedly asked Jing Yu's subordinates to buy her two chicken legs. However, the chicken legs of this Jingshi do not have the fragrance in the mountains, and the pheasants of Yanzhi Mountain are rubbed with salt and honey, and I don't know how fragrant they are when they are baked.

Jing Yu saw that she was eating deliciously, so she only sat opposite her in a gentle voice, silently waiting for her to finish eating.

Shangguan Chi saw Jing Yu sitting over, and asked him meaningfully if he wanted to eat, Jing Yu seemed to shake his head with a little disgust.

After eating and drinking, Shangguan Chi shook his head, moved his hands and arms, and heard his neck snap.

Jing Yu's patience was exhausted, and he asked, "How is it, have you found the exit?" ”

"Found it, but I'll have to rush back in a moment, so go open it now." Shangguan Chi said with a big grin.

"Your dad found you?" Jing Yu poured himself a cup of tea, he took a sip and asked.

"Not yet, but I guess it's going to be soon, and generally if I don't come home at twelve o'clock, he'll give me a very severe punishment." Shangguan Chi looked aggrieved after speaking.

"Didn't you say you've never been out of the house?" Jing Yu asked.

"Hehe" Shangguan Chi grimaced: "I lied to you." Although she is disgraced, it still can't stop her playfulness and cuteness.

Jing Yu only shook his head helplessly, not wanting to delve into it.

The two of them walked towards the cellar, and Shangguan Chi explained as he walked: "This mechanism is actually not difficult to lock, the difficulty is that this person has hidden the entrance of the mechanism, and I have a lot of trouble to find it." ”

Shangguan Chi talked a lot, and Jing Yu only listened patiently on the side. "The great thing about this man is that he can make all the walls the same and not see any difference, so he can't tell the difference just by distinguishing the sound." Shangguan Chi continued to explain.

Jing Yu asked, "Then how did you find it?" ”

"Use this to distinguish between the old and the new and the depth of the soil." Shangguan Chi picked up something similar to a thin iron pipe from the ground with some excitement, and said: "Don't underestimate this thing, it's made of dark iron, it's very rare, I detected this thing according to the direction, and I found it." ”

"It's just dark iron, if you find an exit, I'll give you some meteoric iron." Jing Yu said with a relaxed face.

Shangguan Chi was dumbfounded when she heard this, this person could easily get the meteoric iron, which was simply too unexpected for her, she hurriedly said: "You can say a word!" ”

"It's a deal!" Jing Yu looked at Shangguan Chi and replied seriously.

Shangguan Chi smiled with satisfaction.

Jing Yu saw that a piece of the cellar had been dismantled, revealing a large round black shape with a lot of patterns carved on it, which looked a little familiar, and he asked, "What is this?" ”

"This is the mechanism that leads to the exit, these patterns describe the story of Dayu's control of the water, it should be very ancient." Shangguan Chi replied.

"How did this pattern end up here?"

Seeing Jingyu's curiosity, Shangguan Chi explained with a smile: "I guess, this passage was originally used for drainage, and the person who designed the passage was very smart. ”

"Drainage?" Jing Yu's face was still very surprised.

"The so-called drainage system is that there is too much water in Beijing, and even when the road floods Beijing, the water can flow out along these underground channels, you don't underestimate these drainage systems, once a major flood occurs, this is a life-saving artifact." Shangguan Chi said with a proud face.

Jing Yu suddenly had an idea in his mind, this underground passage extends in all directions, not only to all parts of the Jingshi, but also to the outside of the Jingshi City, if Da Liao or other foreign people understand this passage, then the Jingshi is in danger.

"Is there a way to block these passages?" Jing Yu suddenly asked sharply.

Seeing that Jing Yu's expression changed, Shangguan Chi felt that something was wrong, and he might have said too much. She hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry, the passage inside and outside of the Jingshi has long been blocked, as early as the opening of the dynasty, this passage was discovered by the current emperor, he made people pour iron water at that time, sealed nine layers, even if Lu Ban is reincarnated, there is no way to open it." ”

After speaking, Shangguan Chi began to take out the tools in her hand and began to solve this round black thing, she naturally talked a lot, and asked as she did it: "As a prince, why are you so interested in these things?" ”

"What's that?" Jing Yu clasped his hands and watched Shangguan Chi work, he didn't expect that a girl's hands were so dexterous, and he casually answered while watching.

"That's it, secret arts, tricks, investigating and solving cases, etc., you can enjoy a worry-free life, but you are running around for these things all day long." With that, she pulled down one of the handles on the iron ring.

Jing Yu asked, "Do you want to help?" ”

Shangguan Chi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No! ”

Jing Yu rarely talks about these things with others, but today he is interested: "When I was young, you once heard that you sneaked out of the palace to watch the night market performance outside the palace, and I thought it was very good-looking. Jing Yu seemed to remember something happy: "At that time, a house in the night market suddenly caught fire, and the night market became very flustered. At this time, there was a masked hero who supported me with his hand, and after he sent me to an open grass, he rushed into the fire and rescued a mother and daughter inside, and after rescuing the person, he disappeared in the crowd, and I couldn't see him. ”

Shangguan Chi had a suddenly realized expression after hearing this, and when Jing Yu saw this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "Do you understand?" He looked incredulous.

Shangguan Chi hurriedly defended: "Of course I understand, you want to be like him, be an unknown hero, and guard the safety of the Jingshi." After speaking, he winked at Jing Yu, with a look of I understand you.

Seeing her like this, Jing Yu had no choice but to smile helplessly, thinking in her heart: This Shangguan girl is confused on the surface, but smart in her heart.

Shangguan Chi became more and more engrossed, it seemed that he was calculating something in the corner while doing it, and there were words in his mouth, Jing Yu saw her like this, thinking of Shangguan Chi's father Shangguan Yang, it seems that this person has some real skills, Jing Yu only watched silently from the side, and did not disturb her.

……

After the court this morning, Pei Yi silently went to the emperor's study, and had a discussion with the emperor, and the theme of the discussion was, "Is the country precious or the beauty is precious?" Pei Yi also mentioned that Concubine Pei did her best to pray for the emperor's blessing every day.

After Pei Yi left, the emperor began to reflect on himself, Shen Mansion and Pei Mansion have always been-for-tat, and they seem to fight to the death in everything, but if there is one thing, if the two of them stand on the same side, it means that they are very likely to be right.

He thought about the black cry beauty he had been pampering recently, although the beauty was good, but every day in addition to dancing, he was fed grapes, and he was about to vomit after eating recently. It just so happens that the weather is good today, so it's better to go and see Pei Guifei, she has a steady and demure temperament, and she will raise some flowers and plants.

After thinking like this, he headed towards Jingyang Palace.
