After returning to the Yamen, Yun Sheng went directly to the autopsy room.

She also carried a basket in her hand, and in the basket were several pieces of ore larger than the palm of her hand, and the ore was still stained with a little soil, and it looked very new, as if it had just been dug up.

As soon as he stepped into the autopsy room, Yun Sheng put the basket on the empty table, took out a white cloth from the side and spread it out on the table, put on clean gloves, put the few pieces of ore on the white cloth, approached his face, and observed carefully.

Since Zhang Tong came in, he stood aside and looked like he was watching a play.

He wasn't going to help at all.

Yun Sheng took another piece of clean white paper, covered it with one of the ores, and held a small brush in his right hand, dipped in some ink, and gently swept it on the ore through the white paper, and after a while, something was printed on the white paper.

It is the texture of the bottom of the boot.

Although it was not very clear, it was enough for Yun Sheng to roughly judge that this was a man's footprint.

And the texture on this piece of ore is the same as on the other pieces.

The other person who was present at the time, that is, the suspected murderer, did not step on the ground at the scene, but stood on the stones, whether he entered the grass or left the grass, even if he had a conflict with Lu Zhi, he ensured that his feet were standing on those ores.

He was cautious.

It's just that he forgot that the ore had been there for a long time, and it had been rolling in the mud for an unknown number of years, and the surface was stained with a lot of mud, because his weight and strength had aggravated the crushing of the ore, and the lines at the bottom of his boots were still left on the surface of the ore.

Yun Sheng specially selected a few pieces of slightly complete ore and brought them back, the murderer was so careful not to expose the lines on the bottom of his boots, so there must be some clues on the lines.

"What did you find?" Finally, after seeing the lines gradually showing on the white paper, Zhang Tong couldn't help it.

"Look." Yun Sheng picked up the white paper, handed the small piece of texture to Zhang Tong, and asked, "Can you recognize it?" ”

With just one glance, Zhang Tong's face changed slightly, but he quickly disappeared: "I don't recognize it, but I don't feel like it's from Fan County, this pattern is very strange, I haven't seen this kind of pattern." ”

"I've seen it." Yun Sheng glanced at him, then lowered his eyes and hid his emotions.

"Where have you seen it?" Zhang Tong looked up and asked.

Yun Sheng clenched his fists, took a deep breath, covered his face with his hands, and spoke for a long time: "When I was still in the capital before, I went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. During this period, someone came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for something, and I hid under the table and saw the soles of that person's shoes, which were this pattern. ”

"Coming from the capital, Lu Zhi has connections with the people in the capital, and he may have contributed to the destruction of the Xiao Mansion."

"Very likely."

"What? What people from the capital? Zhang Jiusheng suddenly stepped into the door of the autopsy room, and he didn't know how much he heard, so he began to shout when he entered the door.

Zhang Tong handed over the white paper with lines in his hand, Zhang Jiusheng looked at it with a bitter face for a long time, and then asked Yunsheng: "Is this ...... What is it? ”

"I brought a few pieces of ore from the place where Lu Zhi had an accident, and the lines on this white paper were carved out of the ore by me, my lord, what do you look like?" Yun Sheng asked.

When Zhang Jiusheng heard this, he observed it carefully, and looked at it for a long time with the white paper in his hand, Zhang Jiusheng only felt more and more familiar, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said: "This is the texture at the bottom of the boot, but this pattern is a little strange, I haven't seen this kind of pattern in Fan County, and you see that this should be the middle part of the bottom of the boot, this pattern looks a bit like ...... Plum blossom? ”

When Zhang Tong heard this, he leaned over and squinted his eyes to take a closer look: "It seems to be a plum blossom." ”

"Plum blossoms?" Yun Sheng took the white paper, and looked at it carefully for a long time, before confirming that it was indeed a plum blossom, but only half of it.

Yun Sheng hid under the table of the Prime Minister before, because the situation was special at that time, and at the same time, Yun Sheng's emotions told her nervousness, although she barely wrote down the lines of the soles of the man's shoes, but she didn't have the heart to take a closer look at what it was.

Now it seems that that person is not necessarily from Zheng Taishi's mansion.

She has been in Zheng Taishi's Mansion for two years, and she has not seen this kind of pattern in Zheng Taishi's Mansion, so it can also be concluded that Zheng Taishi is not the mastermind.

So who will it be?

in the capital.

Who else wants to put the prime minister to death, who else wants to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots?

In the past, when she was still in the capital, Yun Sheng was well protected by the eldest grandson Prime Minister and her brother, and she didn't know most of the things in the court, and the people and names she could get right were only the objects she had asked about during the investigation.

Now that she thinks about it, she doesn't even know what political enemies her father has in the court.

No, she should know, she asked her brother, and the brother only mentioned a few words, but the time was long, she couldn't remember clearly, she had to find a time to think about it, maybe she could find out who poured the dirty water on the head of the prime minister's house.

"Whether it is ordinary people or dignitaries, the ornaments on the body are all reunited and complete, how can there be half a tattoo? This is a novelty, but the more novel it is, the easier it is to check, half a plum blossom, I'll ask, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow. Zhang Jiusheng said, put down the blank paper and left, and didn't say what he was here for.

Yun Sheng didn't stop him, took off his gloves, threw them aside, and said to Zhang Tong: "I'm also a little tired, go back first, if there's anything, you can go to Zhangfu to find me." ”

"Okay."

After Yun Sheng left, Zhang Tong sat uncomfortably in the autopsy room.

He lied.

Yun Sheng saw it, but he didn't say anything.

He couldn't tell what Yun Sheng was thinking, Zhang Jiusheng was not there just now, she could obviously expose herself, she even had many opportunities to ask about her identity, but Yun Sheng didn't ask, she didn't say anything.

Zhang Tong's mind was a little confused, but he forgot the most critical point, even if Yun Sheng asked to the bottom of it, he couldn't say it.

In his selfish heart, he has regarded Yunsheng as a friend who can deliver his life.

Therefore, he was sad and guilty, and hoped that Yun Sheng could force him, so that he could explain the reason and purpose of his coming here, so that he could feel at ease.

After Yun Sheng left, he did not return to Zhang's Mansion, but went to Baishitang to find Zhang Qiye.

The time that Zhang Qiye promised her had not yet come, but Yun Sheng couldn't wait, Lu Zhi was dead, and she hadn't gotten much information about Lu Zhi yet, so she was extremely passive.

In Baishitang, Zhang Qiye did not sit in the front hall, but squatted in the backyard, taking care of the herbs he had grown.

Zhang Qiye held a small shovel and gently stirred with the soil, careful and cautious, he heard the sound of gentle footsteps behind him, but he didn't look back, only said: "I asked about some information, but it was not complete, Lu Zhi hid himself very well." ”

"I know, he's a very smart guy." Yunsheng said.

"He left Fan County early in the morning and moved to live in other counties, it seems that he has no other intersection with the Xiao family except for the shallow relationship with distant relatives, but in fact, behind the scenes, he has done a lot for Xiao Ting'an's development." Zhang Qiye straightened up, tapped his back with the back of his hand, and continued: "It can be said that Xiao Ting'an can have such a huge family business today is the credit of Lu Zhi, but the tragic death of Xiao Ting'an's family was also caused by Lu Zhi. ”

"The Xiao family is Lu Zhi's tool."

Zhang Qiye thought for a while and said, "It can be said that Lu Zhi is doing things for whom, I haven't found out yet, and it may take more time." ”

"I understand."

"Lu Zhi has always lived in the capital, he has a house in the capital, the location is a little off, and the work in the capital is also quite low-key, he has two concubines, no wife, no children under his knees, and has a daughter, who was born to the three-room Wei, but his daughter is not in the capital, but has been sent to the countryside since she was a child, and the number of times she meets a year is only a handful."

"He was afraid that someone would make a fuss about his daughter, so he sent the child to the countryside to hide, and the two concubines stayed in Beijing to hide from others."

"Yes, he is indeed smart, but unfortunately, being smart is mistaken by being smart." Zhang Qiye put down the small shovel, patted the soil on his hands, walked to the well and washed his hands, and when he walked back, he said to Yun Sheng: "His death this time can be said to be an accident, or it can be said that he was killed and killed. ”

"He has worked hard for the people behind him for so many years, and he does not hesitate to involve dozens of lives in Xiao Ting'an's mansion, and he must have a lot of unknown secrets in his hands. These secrets can be life-saving charms or life-saving charms. Yun Sheng leaned against the red lacquer pillar and hugged his arms.

"It's a pity that the people who contacted him actually killed him, and now I'm afraid that the plan has changed." Zhang Qiye said.

"What about his daughter?" Yun Sheng asked suddenly.

Zhang Qiye shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't found his daughter yet, but he is dead, and it's useless to catch his daughter now, he doesn't know anything about the two concubines he put in the capital, even if he kills them, he can't ask anything." ”

"The second child of the inn told us that when Lu Zhi left the inn in the morning, he took something with him."

"It's a painting." Suddenly, Zhang Jiusheng suddenly appeared from behind, Yun Sheng was startled, but Zhang Qiye seemed to have known about it for a long time, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Looking at Yun Sheng's surprised expression, Zhang Jiusheng reached out and pinched her face: "What are you doing?" Are you unhappy to see me? ”

"No, why are you here, my lord?"

"My drugstore, can't I come?" Zhang Jiusheng answered the question.

Yun angrily knotted: "You know I didn't mean that. ”

Zhang Jiusheng smiled: "Lu Zhi took away a painting that morning, but what was painted in the painting, we don't know, I just went to the room where he lived, and asked Guan Chu to put away all his paintings and take them back to the Yamen, if you are interested, you can go back and study it when you have time." ”

Yun Sheng suddenly became enlightened, clapped his hands violently, and said: "Lu Zhi is a painter, he is the best at drawing what he wants to say with painting, adults are so strategic!" ”

"Eh, I'm so flattered." Zhang Jiusheng said this, and saw that Yun Sheng had already run out of Baishitang with a cigarette, and she planned to ask Zhang Qiye again next time when Zhang Jiusheng was away, but she always felt that something was wrong.

What's wrong?

She didn't know that her mind was now full of Lu Zhi's case.

After Yun Sheng left, the smile on Zhang Jiusheng's face gradually retracted, and he looked at Zhang Qiye with a little seriousness: "Brother......"

"Eh, don't call me, don't be angry with me, Yunsheng is a patient, I'm a doctor, I have to do what she asks." Zhang Qiye shook his hand and said seriously.

Zhang Jiusheng was stunned, and when he reacted, Zhang Qiye was gone.

"Fart! You should have made her listen to you in reverse! ”
