Chapter Ninety-Six: Finding the Door

"Mrs. Chen......" Lin Yanzhi thought for a moment and then said, "Your Highness, I want to go to Mrs. Zhang's place, maybe I can ask something."

Qin Tianze didn't ask anything, he just said, "Okay."

But when they had gone out, someone else said, "Your Highness, the gates of the city have been sealed at your command, and besides, my subordinates have found this on the way to search."

Qin Tianze took the thing he presented and saw that it was half a jade pendant, he couldn't see why, so he asked, "Where did you pick it up?"

"On the streets south of the city."

Lin Yanzhi was curious and asked him to take a look.

Hey?

The pattern on this jade pendant seems to have been seen somewhere......

Suddenly, Lin Yanzhi remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the pattern on this jade pendant seems to be the same as the bronze medal I saw at the tea shack owner.

Qin Tianan also took a look, and he touched the crack of the jade pendant with his fingers: "Although this jade pendant has been around for some years, the quality is excellent, even if it is only half, it can be sold for a good price if it is re-polished, if it is not accidentally lost, someone deliberately left it."

"Have you searched the south side of the city?" Qin Tianze asked.

"Back to Your Highness, there are many houses there, and they are still searching."

Suddenly, a carriage came, and a man stepped out of it, came to them, and said, "See Your Highness."

"Are you?"

The man coughed twice: "Back to Your Highness, the minister is the general judge here, I was lying on the hospital bed before, I couldn't greet you, I hope Your Highness will forgive your sins."

"Zhang Tong's judgment?"

He glanced at Lin Yanzhi quickly, lowered his eyes, and said lightly, "I've seen Lord Lin."

Lin Yanzhi replied with a salute and said, "Coincidentally, Mrs. Ling and I are very speculative, and we are planning to go to your house to talk to her."

Zhang Tongju was stunned: "Lord Lin, it's late at night, and the insiders have already rested."

Lin Yanzhi reacted that it was already midnight, and said embarrassedly, "Then I'll bother me tomorrow." But why did Master Zhang come here?" Fun Cabinet

"I just learned that His Highness was searching everywhere, although I don't know why, but I also wanted to do my part, so I hurriedly rushed from home."

Qin Tianze listened to his words and looked at him inquiringly: "Chen Taishou was killed tonight, and this palace is looking for the murderer."

Zhang Tongju looked stunned, lost his mind for a moment, and muttered: "Even if he deserves it, he should be in front of the people, but I didn't expect that he would die like this, and it would be cheap for him."

Seeing Qin Tianze frowning, he said again: "Mrs. Chen guards them and they have lost their conscience, and the ministers are really resentful in their hearts, and they are speechless for a while, so I hope Your Highness is not strange."

Qin Tianze smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, you're just holding grievances for the people of Yanzhou."

In the end, he waved his hand and asked Zhang Tongju to go back to rest first, and then go to his house tomorrow.

Qin Tian'an on the side played with the half of the jade pendant in his hand, looked at the carriage that was moving away, retracted his gaze and turned to look at Qin Tianze, and the two looked at each other meaningfully and smiled.

He handed the jade pendant to Lin Yanzhi: "This, you take it tomorrow and ask Mrs. Zhang."

"Huh? Is this her thing? How do you know?"

"You are trapped in the eyes of a little bean, naturally you can't see it, I can see it, the jade pendant on the waist of the general judge just now is the other half." Qin Tianan raised his eyebrows, "But...... Whether it's his wife's or not, that's hard to say."

Lin Yanzhi nodded: "Nine times out of ten, if I were his wife, I would have lost my belongings with my husband, and I wouldn't have been able to sleep if I didn't find them, but this general judgment said that his wife would have slept a long time ago."

Qin Tianan knocked her on the head: "Let's go, go back and rest first, and we'll know tomorrow."

After Lin Yanzhi went back, she saw that Ah Qin had just come back with a tired face, so she stepped forward and said, "Ah Qin? How did you get back here? Shouldn't you be home with your brother?"

Ah Qin was stunned, and explained with a light smile, "I'll take a peek

The time my brother did, he couldn't bear the hardship and passed away."

"Original...... I don't know ......."

"It's that I didn't make it clear, I'm fine. It's good that they can be reunited with their families, and that's what my brother wanted to see on his deathbed, and he said he wanted his brothers and friends to come home and be with their families." Ah Qin shook his head, "By the way, my lord, most of the people who were locked up have been rescued, but I heard from them that there are still some people on the mountain, and I wanted them to lead the way, but they said that every time they go up the mountain, they are taken blindfolded, and they don't know which one they are digging now, alas...... Hopefully we can find the rest of them as soon as possible, and hopefully they can make it through."

"Yes, I'll go to Zhang Tongju's place tomorrow and look for it." Lin Yanzhi nodded, thinking of Wei Qiancheng, she described his appearance to Ah Qin and asked her if she had seen it.

Ah Qin shook his head: "I didn't see the person my lord said, and his name is not on the list of rescued people, maybe he is among those people on the mountain?"

Lin Yanzhi bowed, and then asked Ah Qin to rest, while she sat in the courtyard and nagged to God, asking God to keep him safe and sound and return to Shengjing with her.

After a long time, when I felt that I was too sleepy to open my eyes, I went back to my room and fell asleep.

The next day, Qin Tianze looked at Lin Yanzhi's spiritless appearance worriedly, and asked her to go back and have a good rest, but she refused.

"I'm fine, I can't sleep well when I go back anyway, just let me go with you, Mrs. Zhang, who is also a woman, is always better at talking than you, and I have to go to Qiancheng, Your Highness, let's hurry."

Lin Yanzhi patted her face, woke up, and then jumped on the horse.

When she arrived at Zhang's mansion, Mrs. Zhang welcomed her to the side hall and poured her a cup of tea: "I heard that my husband said that the adult is looking for a concubine, but I don't know what is going on?"

"Did Madame lose anything yesterday?"

Mrs. Zhang was puzzled, "No, why do you have this question?"

"It's nothing, today I picked up a hanging ornament on the way here, near your house, and I thought it was yours when I saw that the style was similar to the one you wore yesterday." Lin Yanzhi leaned closer and asked, "By the way, when I was at Mrs. Zeng's place, I saw that you seemed to be at odds with Mrs. Chen, what happened between the two of you?"

"It's nothing, it's just that sometimes when I see her dressed, I am jealous."

"That's it? Why is the lady afraid of her?"

Mrs. Zhang's hand holding the fruit plate paused, and she chuckled and said, "My lord is wrong, how can I be afraid of her." She took out a peach in her hand and handed it to Lin Yanzhi.

Lin Yanzhi shrugged her shoulders, shook her hand with a smile, and only looked at her fixedly.

Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, then retreated, and said with a calm face, "What do you want me to say?"

"Mrs. Zhang, I see that Mrs. Chen's dress is very elegant, compared to your body, it is obviously more eye-catching for you, and you are jealous...... I'm afraid not."

Mrs. Zhang bit her lip, and suddenly looked at Lin Yanzhi with a funny face: "Then according to my lordship, what am I jealous of her?"

Lin Yanzhi took out the jade pendant in her sleeve and put it in front of her, looked at her expression carefully, and sure enough, she saw a flash of hatred in her eyes.

"Madame recognizes this jade pendant?"

Mrs. Zhang forced herself not to look at it anymore, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said with a smile: "Naturally, this is my husband's belongings, why is it in the hands of adults?"

"Isn't the half of Zhang Tong's sentence on him? This is the one I just picked up with you, and Madame and I think about it, who is this half of jade? I will return my good things to their rightful owners."

「…… I don't know."

Lin Yanzhi sighed, she reached out and held Mrs. Zhang's hand: "If you don't say it, I guess it, but I don't understand why you have to swallow your anger so much?"

Mrs. Zhang stared at her deeply: "The concubine is a little unwell, if the adult has nothing else to do, please forgive the concubine for being unaccompanied."

Lin Yanzhi withdrew her hand: "It's okay, I already know what I want to know."

After Mrs. Zhang walked out of the side hall, she walked to Zhang Tongju's room with an angry face, and sure enough, she saw Mrs. Chen lying on the bed

She strode over and lifted her bed, "He was so fond of you that he fished you out of prison."

Mrs. Chen's pale face had a shallow smile: "Yes, he also said that he would take me to Beiyuan to accompany me to old age."

Mrs. Zhang sneered, "Go to Beiyuan? Do you think you can carry this sick body to the North Abyss?"

"Girl ...... Shadow Girl"

"Hahahaha, Yunying girl? I'm telling you, she won't come, he didn't do it well this time, so who is in a position to ask Miss Yunying to continue to come for treatment."

Mrs. Chen looked at the figure flashing outside the window, and the smile on her face was even stronger.

That figure was Lin Yanzhi, she hurriedly wanted to tell Qin Tianze about it, and met Qin Tianan on the way to the front hall.

"Yanzhi, but what did you find?"

"Mrs. Chen is really here, and they said that they have reached the North Abyss."

Qin Tianan said, "Sure enough." Then he grabbed Lin Yanzhi and turned back to Zhang Tongju's room, and was about to push the door in, but the door opened first.

Mrs. Chen stood in front of the door and smiled faintly at them.

"Mrs. Chen, you could have been hiding here for the rest of your life, why did you leave that jade pendant?" Lin Yanzhi was puzzled.

Mrs. Chen didn't explain much about this, only said that she should be coerced and brought to Zhang Tongju quickly, otherwise she would not be in a hurry.

Qin Tianan saw that she had said so herself, so she was happy to save her effort, and immediately pulled out her sword and put it on her neck.

The three of them came to the front hall together, and the moment Zhang Tongju saw Mrs. Chen, Huo Di jumped up from his chair, stared at the silver sword around her neck, pointed at Qin Tian'an with a trembling hand, and shouted, "Remove your sword for me!"

Qin Tianan raised his eyebrows: "Zhang Tongju's courage is really big enough to dare to talk to me like this?" Not only did he move away, but he even pressed closer to her neck, "If I don't move away, what can you do with me?" Besides, she is a sinner, and if you protect her, you are also a sinner, so what right do you have?"

Zhang Tongju wanted to kill Qin Tianan at this time: "Who are you?"
