Out of the noodle shop did not walk a few steps, Ji Zizhen received Ji Liang's urgent call, so he hurriedly followed the official back to Dali Temple, and Ye Yun continued to go to the reporter's house to inquire about the situation, and after checking the two houses, Ye Yun found that these missing men had been to a pawnshop called Yongxing before the incident.

Ye Yun has also heard of this Yongxing pawnshop, with good credit and fair prices, it has developed into the largest pawnshop in the imperial capital in just two years, and is deeply trusted by the people.

Solving cases is based on empirical evidence, and this alone is not enough to explain anything, but years of experience in solving cases tell Ye Yun that there are not so many coincidences in life, there must be problems in this!

Thinking of this, Ye Yun looked up at the sky, and saw that there was still an hour before the sun sank in the west, so he turned around and went straight to Dali Temple.

In the backyard of Dali Temple, Ji Liang sat in the back hall and frowned, he looked at the severed limbs and stumps that occupied almost half of the courtyard, and his face became more and more solemn.

Such an inhumane thing happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and I am afraid that spreading it will cause turmoil in the imperial capital and panic among the people!

"Zizhen!"

Hearing Ji Liang call himself, Ji Zizhen came in from outside: "Father." ”

"But there is something to be detected." Ji Liang said in a deep voice.

"There were multiple marks of raptor bites on the limbs, and nothing else was found." Thistle truth.

Hearing this, Ji Liang's brows frowned even tighter, and he pondered a little and said, "How could a bird of prey appear in the imperial capital?" ”

"Father, this matter will definitely shock the government and the opposition, and the top priority should be to ask the Emperor Ming to send troops to the whole city to search for the whereabouts of the birds of prey!" Thistle truth.

"You're right, for the father, enter the palace immediately to face the saint, and this place will be handed over to you, be sure to let the officials properly store their limbs, and deal with it after the matter is clear!" Ji Liang instructed.

"The father is relieved, the child understands."

After receiving Ji Zizhen's assurance, Ji Liang hurriedly ordered someone to prepare the car, and then hurried to the palace by car.

As soon as Ye Yun came in from Dali Temple, he saw that the officials in the courtyard were carrying one after another shelves covered with white cloths in and out, and there was a strong smell of rancid smell under the white cloth.

Ye Yun couldn't help but feel puzzled, and immediately stopped a pair of servants and asked, "What happened, what is it in your hands?" ”

"Princess Hui, these are human limbs, Lord Shaoqing ordered the younger ones to temporarily put them in the ice cellar, and then deal with them after the case is clarified." The first official replied.

Human limbs? Ye Yun's eyes flashed, and then he lifted a corner of the white cloth covering it, and a blistered white and swollen arm appeared in front of him, there were many lacerations on it, some small and some large, among which Ye Yun also found a huge tooth mark on the inside of his arm, and when he looked up, he arrived at the fracture, compared to the wound on the arm, the wound at the fracture was even more miserable, as if he was bitten by something and torn off from his body.

Closing the white cloth again, Ye Yun asked, "Are these severed limbs like this?" ”

"Yes, in addition to human arms, there are human legs and feet."

"Where did you find all these limbs?"

"It was found on the bank of the Hui Canal outside the imperial capital." The voice came from the right side, Ye Yun turned around, and saw thistle really walking straight towards her through the weeping flower gate, and said as she walked: "This morning, Dali Temple received a report that someone found an arm in the grass on the bank of the Hui Canal outside the city, so he sent the officials to check, but he didn't expect to find hundreds of stumps in the depths of the grass, these stumps have obvious bites, and after examination, all these bites came from birds of prey. ”

Hearing this, Ye Yun asked carefully: "What can be found around the scene of the crime, such as bones, hair, the clothes of the deceased, bloodstains or animal footprints, etc.?" ”

Thistle shook her head: "Other than that, nothing else has been found." ”

Ye Yun frowned slightly, doubts flashed in his eyes, strange, if he was really bitten to death by a bird of prey, there would definitely be traces on the scene, and it would never be so clean, this matter is definitely strange!

"Where's thistle-sama?"

"I'm in the palace."

Ye Yun nodded clearly, there was such a big incident, it was impossible to hide it, rather than waiting for Yu Wenyong to be punished afterwards, it was better to ask for responsibility first.

Thinking of this, and thinking of the reason why he came back this time, Ye Yun said: "Once this matter spreads in the imperial capital, I am afraid it will cause a lot of commotion, Ji Shaoqing should still prepare early and appease public opinion." ”

"Xia Guan understands, thank you princess for reminding me." The thistle really thanked him.

"In addition, there is a matter to discuss in this palace."

"Princess, please speak."

"Today's visit to the palace found a clue, but it is difficult to complete it alone in the palace, and several officials are needed to assist the palace in investigating the case."

Hearing this, Ji Zizhen looked up at her and said, "I don't know how many people the princess needs?" ”

"Not much, five people are enough."

"The next official will do it immediately."

"Don't worry, just let them go to the princess's mansion tomorrow."

"Okay, I wonder if the princess has any other orders?"

"That's all for the time being, it's not too early, and the palace will go back to the house first." After speaking, Ye Yun turned around and was about to leave, then he thought of something again, stopped and said: "By the way, please also ask Ji Shaoqing to tell Lord Ji on behalf of the palace, the next few days the palace will go out to investigate the case, in order to save time, I will not come to Dali Temple to report, as for the stump case... If Ji Shaoqing needs help, she can come directly to the princess's mansion to find the palace. ”

"Yes, the lower official wrote it down."

This time, Ye Yun didn't stay any longer, went straight out, got into the carriage and went straight to the princess's mansion.

In the evening, Ye Yun had dinner, Bai Zhi handed over a cup of tea, Ye Yun took a sip of tea in his mouth with one hand, sipped a few times, and spit the tea into the spittoon.

There were some water stains at the corners of his mouth, Ye Yun took out a handkerchief to wipe it, and just wiped it, Lu Wu came in from outside, Ye Yun glanced at Bai Zhi, who nodded knowingly, and then looked at the maid standing on the side and said, "You all go down." ”

Four or five maids had a tacit understanding of Fu Fushen, and then followed Bai Zhi to the outside of the hospital.

When there was no one in the house, Ye Yun signaled that Lu Wu could speak.

Lu Wu arched his hand and said: "Princess, there is news from the palace that the princess's appointment as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple was recommended by Su Xiang and Lord Ji. ”

"Oh?" Ye Yun raised his eyebrows lightly: "Do you know the reason?" "Ji Liang is okay to say, after all, last time in Lingyuan Palace, he witnessed the whole process of proving his innocence, and he had some expectations and curiosity about her, but this Su Xiang Su Muyun.... Whether it is the original owner or her, she has no contact with this Su Xiang, and it can even be said that in addition to this name and rumors about him, even his appearance is vague, and such a person suddenly recommends you, no matter who it is, you will have doubts.

"I heard that it was the day of the flower viewing banquet, princess, you took the cocoon to clear the suspicion of a child, and it happened to be witnessed by two adults, and it happened to be a shortage of people in Dali Temple, so there was a recommendation." Lu Wu explained.

Ye Yun nodded, I see, but she was too careful.
