Because of the previous case of Master Yuanji, the prefect had a good impression of Su Wanqiu, so he also had a lot of doubts about this matter, but the stakes were very high, and he had to investigate it carefully.

"By the way, my lord, I wonder if the array is now on the thief's body?" Su Wanqiu raised her eyes to look at the prefect and asked.

The prefect shook his head and said, "The thief said that it had been handed over to you in the morning. ”

Su Wanqiu said very calmly: "Since this is the case, the adults will have no harm in searching, since I did not instruct people to steal the formation map, I am naturally not afraid of the adults to search, so I can also prove my innocence." ”

After that, Su Wanqiu turned to Chu Yu and said, "Chu Yu, you take the prefect back to the Hou Mansion, and say that I agree to let the Lord search." ”

The prefect was stunned at first, if ordinary people heard that they were going to be searched, they would naturally be extremely frightened, but Su Wanqiu was not only calm, but even took the initiative to ask for a search, so he believed in Su Wanqiu even more.

"There's no need to be so troublesome, I'll send a few people to just go, Miss Su and wait here." The prefect is humane.

Su Wanqiu smiled and nodded.

However, Ye Lin sneered, and the prefect couldn't help but turn his head to look at this person, frowned, slightly dissatisfied, and asked, "Miss Su, I don't know who this is?" ”

"My lord, my brother is sick now, and he is the doctor who treated my brother." Su Wanqiu Road.

It turned out to be just a doctor, and when he heard Su Wanqiu say this, the prefect became more and more unaware that Ye Lin was standing here.

"Miss Su, do you know that since that person dares to say that you instructed him to steal the formation map, do you say that he will hide the formation map in your boudoir in advance?" Ye Lin smiled coldly and said, "As long as you see the array map on the left and right, you can draw a new one, and you let the prefect go and search your room, isn't it in the hands of others?" ”

Su Wanqiu was stunned, and lowered her head slightly, what Ye Lin said was true, she was negligent just now, presumably Mingrong was waiting for the prefect to search his room.

"If you can't find the formation map, Miss is naturally innocent, even if it is searched, it may not have anything to do with Miss, Lord Prefect, that night the people of the Hou Mansion caught the thief, if he really obeyed the orders of the Miss, how could the people of the Hou Mansion send the thief to you?" Fuchun also said.

Fu Chun's words were as if the formation map would inevitably be searched, Su Wanqiu couldn't help but glance at Fu Chun more, but Fu Chun's face was very calm, and he couldn't see any clues.

The prefect frowned and said, "We have to wait for the people they searched to come back first." ”

Su Wanqiu touched the cold tea cup with her fingers, and suddenly remembered that on the night of the lantern, Ming Rong had said that he would send someone to send him back to the house, but he was refused, but then he was attacked, and then when Su Yu sent someone to look for himself and others, he coincidentally met the person who stole the formation map, saying that it was all a coincidence, but it seemed that someone was secretly manipulating everything, which made Su Wanqiu have to be frightened.

Several people waited for a while, and soon the prefect's people came back and forth.

The first person was the advisor beside the prefect, he held a piece of paper in his hand, walked in front of the prefect, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, this is the one that the county guard lost. ”

The prefect suddenly stood up: "Really? Where did you get it? ”

"It's on the bookshelf in Miss Su's boudoir."

As soon as the words fell, Su Wanqiu heard Ye Lin's sneering voice in her ears.

"Sure enough, Miss Su, this array was really found in your boudoir." Ye Lin chuckled.

Chu Yu also walked in, with a look of disbelief on his face, and said: "This is impossible, Miss has never instructed others to steal any formation map, Miss stays at home on weekdays, and she doesn't even know what this array is for, what are you doing sending someone to steal this formation map for no reason?" ”

The prefect also knew this, not only Su Wanqiu, but also Su Yu, who was in the position of Pingyang Hou, but asked to move to Linchuan, which shows that he has no idea about power, otherwise he would not be far from the center of such a power struggle in Kyoto.

And Su Wanqiu is just the third lady of the Hou Mansion who stays at home, even if she has the formation map in hand, she doesn't know how to use it, so it is naturally unlikely that she wants this formation map, and Su Wanqiu's calm expression just now does not seem to be fake, so the prefect is still willing to believe in Su Wanqiu's innocence in his heart.

He nodded and said, "Miss Su, don't worry, how can this official be an unreasonable person, although the formation map was found in the young lady's boudoir, but there are many doubts in this matter, and it cannot be concluded, this official will still investigate carefully, and will never wronged Miss Su." ”

In fact, in the final analysis, it was Ye Lin and Fu Chun's words before that made the prefect have doubts in his heart, otherwise, just by finding this formation diagram, it would be strange if the prefect did not suspect Su Wanqiu.

"Thank you for your trust." Su Wanqiu smiled faintly.

The prefect is willing to let go like this, firstly, because he is Su Yu's concubine after all, no matter how big the prefect is, he doesn't want to be an enemy of Su Yu, and secondly, the thief who stole has been caught, not to mention, the formation map has been found, and the prefect doesn't want to do it again.

Even if you can't ask the mastermind behind the scenes, this case can be closed, and it is better to have more than one thing, so it is not bad to end it hastily.

"In this case, I will take the people away first." The prefect said, "There are still many cases to deal with, so I won't bother Miss Su." ”

Su Wanqiu smiled: "Adults go slowly." ”

Seeing the prefect walk out, Su Wanqiu turned his head to look at Ye Lin and said, "What did Gongzi Li tell you?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just my guess, but I'm a little surprised that I was really right." Ye Lin smiled faintly.

"At this time, it must have been done by the fourth son?" Su Wanqiu asked again.

"If Miss Su thinks so, then it is." Ye Lin smiled, waved his hand, and then walked out.

Seeing that Ye Lin had gone out, Fu Chun seemed to be a little worried, and said, "Miss, don't pay attention to him, this person has always been like this, when I was by the side of the sixth prince before, this person was so annoying." ”

It was rare for Su Wanqiu to see Fu Chun show such a look, so she just smiled lightly and asked casually, "When did Ye Lin follow the sixth prince?" ”

"It was about two years ago, and the slave and maid don't remember it very clearly, the slave and maid only remember that the little princess was seriously ill at that time, and it was Ye Lin who was cured, and since then, Ye Lin has been following the son." Fu Chun thought about it for a while before he said.

Su Wanqiu nodded, turned her head to look at the bright sunshine outside the window, but couldn't help but sigh.
