On the second floor of the Guozijian study, no one is allowed to enter and exit at will, and even if you go in to count the books, only the Guozijian Wine Master and this Dr. Jiang go together, so the scene is preserved to the greatest extent possible.

The matter is very big, and it is related to the manuscript of the first Empress Shengxiaoren, so the prince of the country and Dr. Jiang did not dare to make a time, what the book was like last night, and what it is still like now.

As soon as Qin Shao entered, he saw several books scattered on the ground, which was incompatible with the neatness of the bookshelves.

Empress Xiaoren once wrote a lot of books about Shinong industry and commerce, which greatly promoted the development of Daliang, making Daliang among the powerful countries, and at the same time, under her proposal, Daliang abolished the slavery system in the founding of the country. Therefore, the royal family of Daliang won the hearts of the people, even if several gate valve families joined forces to rebel later, and the momentum was once greater than that of the royal family, but the rebellion was suppressed with the support of the people of Limin.

The Jinyi guard system was also established at the suggestion of the empress, which was originally a pro-army trained by the empress herself, and after the founding of the Great Liang country, it was directly transformed into the emperor's direct janissaries.

The few manuscripts scattered on the ground are indeed written by Empress Shengxiaoren herself, and there are also instructions from Emperor Gaozu on the development of minerals.

Most of the books in Guozijian's collection are manuscripts on farmland and water conservancy, manufacturing machinery, and mining and smelting. Over the years, under the teaching of Empress Shengxiaoren, the people of Daliang have already applied these studies well, and Qin Shao didn't understand why someone would come to study the content of the manuscript.

In order to enlighten the people, Empress Shengxiaoren had ordered people to transcribe these contents and introduce them to the people for everyone to learn.

Some people say that Empress Sheng Xiaoren is the daughter of the Mandate of Heaven, which is not an exaggeration at all, because many things raised by Empress Sheng Xiaoren are unheard of before. Under her and Gaozu's rule, Daliang quickly jumped from an unknown small country in the north to one of the major powers on the continent, and the national strength was the highest at that time.

Ye Chengcheng is interested in these things? Qin Shao was a little unconvinced.

But according to the confessions of the guards, they followed them with their greyhounds last night, and they did chase them before they reached the Tonghat Alley before they lost them. The time, place, including the back of the thief described by the guards were all the same as Ye Chengcheng, and now the difference is the evidence.

It's a pity that there is not a single book here, otherwise there is a physical evidence, and Ye Chengcheng can be caught first.

Qin Shao flipped through the books, and even the pages were intact, not a single corner had been dropped.

He asked Dr. Jiang to put the book back where it was.

Dr. Jiang did so, and he realized that the books were on the top floor of the shelf. Even Dr. Jiang's height has to stand on tiptoe when he puts a book. Ye Qingcheng's petite body couldn't reach it even if he stretched out his arms. Did Ye Tingcheng step on something?

Qin Shao carefully inspected the lower level of the bookshelf, and there was no sign of being trampled on.

He raised his eyes and saw the candle placed on the top of the bookshelf to count the gap between the second layer, according to Ye Tingcheng's height, why did he put the candle in such a high place? You must know that Ye Chengcheng jumped up and blew out the candle last night. Such a high position should be placed here by a man who is about his height.

Qin Shao had an extra layer of doubt in his heart.

He examined the shelves again, and found a white mark on the wood at the edge of a row of shelves, as if it had been hit. Qin Shao called Dr. Jiang, "Is there this trace on this bookshelf originally?" ”

"Nope." Dr. Jiang looked at it carefully, shook his head, and said, "The bookshelves here are all in good condition. When did this appear, I really don't know, I really didn't have it before. ”

Qin Shao stood in front of the bookshelf and stared for a long time, thinking about what it was that caused such a scar.

Could it be that the person who entered here last night was really not Ye Chengcheng? Or is it not just Ye Tingcheng who came in alone? Instead, someone else came running.

"My lord, there are traces of a fight outside." Lu Xun checked the window and found that there was damage to the railing of the cloister, so he immediately screamed.

Hearing this, Qin Shao walked out quickly, went around to the window, and sure enough, he saw the sunken railing and the sawdust scattered on the ground where Lu Xun pointed out.

"It's the force of the palm." Qin Shao looked at it and said with certainty. If it is a sword, it is mostly a mark of cutting or stabbing, which is easy to identify, and if it is a heavy object, most of them will also leave the angular shape of the impact object, and even iron filings or other things will be mixed in the wood, and this kind of trace can only be done by the force of the palm.

Inspired by this trace, Qin Shao immediately remembered the scar on the bookshelf, and that was the finger force.

It seems that the person who entered the Guozijian last night was not only Ye Chengcheng, but also another master, judging by the palm power and finger power left on the wood, this person's martial arts are not below him, and his height is about the same as him, most of them are a man.

And most of the people who fought with him were Ye Tingcheng.

Qin Shao's brows immediately shrank tightly. Who is Ye Chengcheng? She is definitely not the previous Ye Chengcheng.

He also fought with Ye Qingcheng last night, that girl was scheming, teasing him again and again, if it weren't for the fact that his palm wind just blew off her veil, I was afraid that it would not be so easy to catch her, maybe she would really be slipped away.

Yes, Qin Shao's mind suddenly flashed a trace of clarity, Ye Tingcheng is very good at using the things around her to create favorable conditions for herself, she must have found that she couldn't beat that person after fighting that person outside, so she got into the study, there were many bookshelves in the study, and if she wanted not to alarm the guards, it was obvious that Ye Tingcheng's figure was taking a big advantage.

"Did the greyhounds find only one person last night?" Qin Shao asked.

"That's according to the records." Lu Xun nodded.

That's strange, if it's two people, it's impossible for the greyhound to just chase Ye Tingcheng?

But he thought about it, if the greyhound was familiar with the man's breath, it wouldn't be tracked, would it?

"Send me all the materials in the study." Qin Shao commanded.

"Yes." Lu Xun nodded.

"Around Chacha." Qin Shao said.

He jumped from the second floor, and if the man were to run, he would obviously jump from that position.

Qin Shao really found a footprint nearby, the mark was already very shallow, but it could be seen that the footprint was not Ye Qingcheng's, but belonged to a man.

Very few people will pass by in this place, so the person who left this shallow mark must be the one who jumped down last night, of course, there are a few smaller footprints on the side, and that belongs to Ye Chengcheng.

"Who raised the spirit dog of the Guozijian?" Qin Shao asked.

"It's the guards who take turns feeding." Lu Xun also jumped down with Qin Shao and replied.

"Call all the guards here, and I'll take a look." Qin Shao said.

"Yes." Lu Xun took the order and ran away.

Qin Shao clasped his hands to his chest, looking at the footprints on the ground a little distracted, Ye Qingcheng was able to retreat under the attack of such a master, this is not simple, it is simply incredible. Who the hell is she? Could it be that the current Ye Chengcheng is really being impersonated?

In his previous life, there was a red birthmark on Ye Chengcheng's back, as her husband, he naturally knew it, and he also loved that birthmark very much at the beginning, because when Ye Chengcheng was emotional, the birthmark would become more and more red, which was in stark contrast to the snow-white skin on her body, and it was difficult to describe in words.

If the current Ye Chengcheng is fake, then the birthmark must not be fake.

It's just Ye Qingcheng's identity, how can he see her back!

Qin Shao's thoughts were chaotic, he recalled the fragments of his contact with Ye Tingcheng, trying to find out what clues, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ye Tingcheng was really completely different from his previous life, just like two people.

If it weren't for the fact that she was already familiar with her to a certain extent, outsiders wouldn't be able to see why they came.

But this Ye Qingcheng didn't seem to be reborn at all, because there was no fear, guilt and weakness in her eyes when she looked at him, but open, even happy and joyful.

Does she like him? The idea popped into his mind and was quickly rejected by him.

Regardless of whether Ye Chengcheng is the original one or not, she is still a cunning and changeable person, as you can see from last night, not a word of what she said is true.

How could she possibly like him!

Just as Qin Shao was slowly sorting out his thoughts, Lu Xun had already called all the guards who were not on duty.

The guards stood in four rows, Qin Shao retracted his thoughts, took a cursory look, and selected a few people who were about the same height as himself from the middle, and let them stand up. He asked Lu Xun to question these people individually, asking them where they were before and after the time of the thief last night, and what they were doing, but there were witnesses.

After Lu Xun finished asking, he eliminated a few more people, leaving only an undocumented guard who claimed to be going to squat in the toilet.

Lu Xun asked the Jinyi guard to come over and take the guard away first, and then dismissed the others. When the guards on duty came back, Qin Shao also found two people from them, and also asked someone to bring them back to the Fusi Yamen of Jinyi Weibei Town and temporarily detain them.

Qin Shao's actions made the guards of the Guozijian a little angry, but Qin Shao was a thousand households in brocade clothes, and they didn't say anything even if they were angry in their hearts. The person they chased last night was obviously a petite person, and the few guards Qin Shao took away were tall, obviously not the same person as the person they chased last night.

Qin Shao didn't make any explanation, which made many guards unconvinced.

Jin Yiwei is too domineering.

After Qin Shao left, the guards went to the sacrificial wine lord's side.

The Lord of the Wine Sacrifice didn't want to provoke the fishy body, but he couldn't stand the anger of the guards of the Guozi Prison, so he could only give an excerpt to Emperor Zhao, asking Qin Shao why he took people away indiscriminately.
