Yang Su rested his elbow on the armrest and told her what had happened. "I suspect now that this person is the 'Fifth Master' or the 'Fifth Master'."

The long tasseled ring arm groaned.

There are too few clues, and she can't say whether it's or not. But the clues brought out by Tang Jian's incident are indeed strange.

"Anyway, the matter between the Tang and Chen families has nothing to do with us, but if we can determine the origin of the silver and the letter-

"If they were not robbed, but deliberately hidden, then the owners of those letters and clothes may have something to do with the 'Fifth Master'."

Changying said: "If it is the fifth master's person, then he may not know the whereabouts of these things, otherwise he will definitely not leave trouble." But if he didn't know it was there, how did he know about it later? ”

Yang Su looked at her: "Could it be because of Tang Jian's abnormality?" ”

Changying asked, "Do you have any way to verify it?" ”

Yang Su picked up the dress on the table: "I can only try it as bait." ”

Long tassel raised an eyebrow.

Yang Su leaned back in the chair: "You have been plotted in the Shilang Mansion of the Ministry of War, and the people who were able to enter there at that time were all powerful people in Beijing, so it can be seen that most of this person is hiding in Beijing, at least he has minions hidden in Beijing, and he also has a certain status."

"If the owner of this garment is in Jingshi, no one else will say it, at least the tailor who made the garment will have seen it. The texture and workmanship of this stitch and thread are exquisite, generally speaking, the people who make it and those who are familiar with it will have some impressions. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"Put a reward at the city gate in the name of catching bandits."

Changying raised his hand and frowned, "If no one claims it?" ”

"There is no loss. I'll start with the source of the official bank and check it again. But the slightest mistake in this garment can show that my guess is in the right direction.

"Because the person who put the money will not want this garment to be recognized. He was so afraid of revealing his identity, so if something went wrong with his clothes, it would at least say something. ”

Yang Su's gaze was full of meaning.

Changying comprehended, nodded and said, "Then let's try it first." ”

Speaking of this, Qin Lu hurriedly came in: "Lord Wang, Lu Yin has found out the results, there are two batches of Lu Yin sent to Shaanxi in the eighteenth year of Qingxi, one is three thousand taels for the prefect of Shaanxi, and one is two thousand taels for Huayang County.

"These two batches of Lu silver have all been recorded in the accounts, and they have all been received by handwriting, and after investigation, they have not encountered robbers on the way."

Yang Su stared instantly, and then got up: "Who was the one who received the silver taels back then?" ”

"Liu Chang, the prefect of Shaanxi, and Li Zhiyi, the prefect of Huayang!"

"Check these two guys!"

Qin Lu said yes and withdrew.

Changying was heavy, and when he saw the fat cat pacing slowly at the entrance of the hall, he walked over and picked it up.

"It's time to cut your nails." She said.

"Yes," Yang Su, who got up to drink water, twisted his head, and then found a small pair of scissors and walked over, "My hands are heavy, you can cut them." ”

Changying gave him the cat in his arms and caught a cat's paw in his hand.

The two sat facing each other, their eyes falling on the cat, and the slanting sun folded their shadows together.

……

The reward notice issued by the Yamen of the Five Cities in the next day was hung under the South City Gate, and naturally the origin of the official silver was concealed, and only the owner of the clothes was declared, and the person who provided the clue gave a bounty of up to 100 taels of silver.

But because there was no guarantee that he would be able to catch a big fish, Yang Su still focused on Lu Yin, who had a clear clue.

Changying took advantage of the fact that she had not returned to the camp in the past two days, and also went to the city gate to walk around a few times.

Although the garment had been ravaged by the wind and rain, it was still perfectly shaped on the wall, and one could imagine how handsome and graceful its owner must have been when he first wore it.

She recalled that the people she was forced to ask when she was trapped were all unusual, but the powerful people in the capital are like clouds, who is in line with the identity of the "fifth master"?

With the increase in the number of people coming and going, it has also spread in the natural city, how can the bounty of one hundred taels of silver not be attractive?

Rong Yin took on the errand of the head of the school review, and was busy in the school field for several days, preparing to welcome the convergence of soldiers and horses from all walks of life.

I came back early in the morning, and when I entered the city, I saw a group of people gathered at the inner gate of the city to look at the clothes on the wall.

The garment was shabby and wrinkled, but it still allowed those who knew the goods to see at a glance its extraordinary cut and texture.

"The general is also interested?"

At this moment, someone around him spoke up.

He turned his head, and his eyebrows were unusually bright, but he had a somewhat unfriendly face.

Rong Yin turned his gaze back to his clothes and said lightly: "What kind of fame?" ”

The corners of Changying's mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly smiled: "There is a notice on the wall, Uncle Rong will see it himself." ”

"Uncle Rong" looked at her coldly and looked at the wall.

The announcement revealed almost no information, just a piece of clothing.

He turned his horse's head and walked slowly through the crowd.

Changying looked at his back and took a deep breath. Every time she sees him, she will feel like she has been robbed of her little wife by a bully, and she can't save Xiuxiu, and she will end up hating her heart.

Rong Yin walked out of the street, and suddenly stopped to explain to the guards: "This is a notice posted by the Yamen of the Five Cities, see which case is this related to?" ”

The guard said: "The subordinates have found out that the King of Jin has been busy with the dispute between the Tang and Chen families recently, and he also had dinner with the Marquis of Wuning, the Prince of Dongyang and the Prince of Guangwei two days earlier.

And that night, something happened to the Yamen of the Five Cities, and it seemed that someone had assassinated Tang Jian. Because of this incident, the Tang family was also very uneasy, and they ran a lot to the Yamen of the Five Cities and the Ten Princes' Mansion in successive days. ”

After hearing this, Rong Yin frowned, looked back at the city gate, and said, "Where is Fu Shizi now?" ”

……

After all, Tang Jian's assassination could not be hidden, and the Tang family, who was still holding a shelf, recently took the initiative to pay attention to this matter.

And the Chen family also began to be afraid because they didn't know the inside story, for fear that the disaster caused by Xue Niang would hurt them, so they found Sun Xie and proposed to withdraw the lawsuit.

Sun Xie was in charge of Shuntian Mansion, knowing that this matter was not simple, how could he be willing to stop there? Therefore, in recent days, he has frequently gone to the Yamen of the Five Cities to inquire about the situation with Yang Su.

On the contrary, the gang of cowards in the Metropolitan Procuratorate were afraid that it would be a hot potato, and they did not mention the matter of taking over the case.

Changying went to the government office the day after she met Rong Yin on the road and officially took office.

Throughout Shangshu Shaoqing and Cheng Chun and Liu Xiao handed over the status of the guard station to her in her office, Gao Xuming and another conductor, Pang Ge, also came in to see her.

Pang Ge cut the rules to the end, Gao Xuming smiled in his mouth, but his waist did not necessarily bend down.

In the past two days, she also looked at Tan Yi, and they helped check Concubine Wu.

Concubine Wu's father was originally the same governor of Liaoyang Mansion, and her official position was not high, but because of Yang Ji's reuse, Concubine Wu has also risen rapidly in the palace in recent years, from a lady who just entered the palace to a side concubine, and gave birth to an imperial grandson, and her father gradually rose to Dengzhou Mansion as the prefect.
