Chapter 80: Diao Chan's Family Causes Trouble

Shen Pu was a little surprised.

Since Zhao Kong was poisoned, Zhao Ji has been sending people to urge Shen Pu to solve the case as soon as possible, and also took the initiative to provide some clues, hoping that Shen Pu can follow his own ideas and put the charges on others.

Shen Pu naturally knew Zhao Ji's thoughts.

Although he knew that this matter was very likely to be related to Zhao Ji, he could not find any evidence.

However, through the investigation in the past few days, he still has some information and knows that this Zhao Ji has intersections with many people in the rivers and lakes, including several masters.

Motioning for Qinglian to go to the back of the mansion, Shen Pu greeted her.

In the courtyard, Zhao Ji's sedan chair stopped in the middle of the courtyard, but the people had not come down yet.

Fu Cheng Hu Cheng was standing next to the sedan chair, whispering something to Zhao Ji.

Shen Pu walked over quickly.

"It's late for the lower official to greet the old palace master, please ......" Shen Pu's words didn't wait for him to finish, and the sedan curtain was lifted.

"Lord Shen doesn't have to be polite, this king is just passing by here, stopping by to visit your lordship, there is nothing else, if you can be lucky enough to enter this mansion, and talk to Lord Shen for a few words, it should be a great honor." Zhao Ji said.

"The old palace master can come to the palace, it is really a blessing for the lower officials, please talk inside." Shen Pu still maintains that kind of appearance that is neither humble nor arrogant.

Zhao Ji walked down at this time.

A maid next to the sedan chair lowered her head and held Zhao Ji's hand.

This maid's face was a little pale, and she didn't know why, she always glanced at Shen Pu intentionally or unintentionally, as if she had something to say.

Shen Pu only saw her in the living room of Anle Palace Mansion when he went to arrest Zhao Kong last time, and he didn't even say a word.

"Old palace master, Xia Guan doesn't have much tea here, but when he comes, he brings some scattered leaves from his cousin, if the old palace master doesn't dislike it, he can make it." Shen Pu said.

Zhao Ji knew that the cousin Shen Pu was talking about was the royal concubine in the palace, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, but he still smiled and didn't answer.

Shen Pu thought that when Zhao Ji came here, he would definitely urge him to find the murderer who poisoned Zhao Kong, but he didn't want this Zhao Ji to say nothing, but after saying some innocuous words, he was going to leave.

Shen Pu didn't hold back, stood up and prepared to send him off.

The maid bypassed the table and planned to help Zhao Ji, but for some reason, she stumbled under her feet and fell suddenly, and a green bracelet rolled out of her long sleeves and broke into two pieces.

"How could you be so careless?" Zhao Ji stood up on the table, but he didn't mean to pull the maid up, but looked at the bracelet on the ground.

The maid quickly got up, picked up the bracelet in a panic, and was about to put it back in her sleeve, but was stopped by Zhao Ji.

"Where's the source, bring it up."

The maid's face changed, and she took two steps back.

"This is what the slave saw inadvertently from Mrs. Tang, and it is not a valuable thing."

"Did you dare not hear the words of this king clearly?" Zhao Ji suddenly raised his voice and shouted.

The maid's body trembled, and she hesitated to move forward, and it took a long time to put the bracelet on the table.

Shen Pu and Hu Cheng also looked at the bracelet at the same time.

At first glance, it didn't seem to be anything special, but Shen Pu quickly noticed the difference between this bracelet, in the middle of the broken plane, a blood-red silk thread could be faintly seen, like a thin little worm, as his gaze moved, it seemed to be writhing.

Zhao Ji grabbed the bracelet in his hand, brought it to his eyes, and aimed at the sunlight outside the door.

"Bold minion, this is the dragon and phoenix jade bracelet given by the first emperor, it was lost a month ago, this king is ashamed of his love for the first emperor, but he doesn't want to be stolen by you." Before the words fell, Zhao Ji had already slapped the maid in the face.

The delicate cheeks instantly became red and swollen.

The maid trembled with fright and fell to her knees.

"The old palace master spares his life, this thing is indeed obtained by the slave maid from Mrs. Tang, the slave and maid don't know this thing, but they are curious about the internal pattern, so they use it to play."

"Who is this Mrs. Tang?" Hu Cheng asked.

Zhao Ji did not rush to answer Hu Cheng, but handed the jade bracelet to Shen Pu.

Shen Pu followed Zhao Ji's appearance and aimed it at the sun.

The thread-like thing inside the jade bracelet slowly enlarged as it approached the eyes, and finally turned into a long red dragon dancing in the clouds. It's just that because it has been broken, the dragon's body has been broken from the middle, but it still looks lifelike.

Needless to say, this is a rare treasure in the world.

"This jade bracelet is said to have been obtained from the corpse of a fallen soldier during the expedition of the first emperor, and it was originally a pair, a dragon bracelet and a phoenix bracelet. The magic lies in the fact that every rainy weather, the dragon and phoenix inside will be hidden in the clouds, and when the rain is over, the sky will be clear, and then it will come out again. Zhao Ji explained, "The first emperor loved it like a treasure, if it weren't for the fact that the king and his wife went to the palace to visit the queen, the first emperor would not be willing to give this thing to the king." ”

This royal treasure is truly extraordinary.

Shen Pu's gaze fell on the trembling maid who was kneeling on the ground again.

"This is the dragon bracelet, where is the phoenix bracelet now?" Zhao Ji asked at the maid.

"The slave doesn't know." Hearing that this thing was so precious, the maid was already paralyzed with fright.

Hu Cheng suddenly leaned over, grabbed the maid's collar, and lifted her up with all his might.

"Tell me quickly, who is Mrs. Tang, but is she still in the house?"

The maid's lips trembled, but she couldn't speak.

"This person's name is Tang Lubu, and he is a nurse newly recruited by this king in the palace, and he accompanied the rebel son to Qingliu County to meet the second prince a few days ago. This king remembered that his wife was lonely, and he was afraid that there would be an accident outside, so he arranged to live in the mansion together. Zhao Ji explained on behalf of the maid.

"Is this really something you got from Mrs. Tang?" Shen Pu motioned for Hu Cheng to let go of the maid, deliberately did not amplify his voice, and asked.

The maid knelt on the ground again, wiping the cold sweat from her face.

The slave didn't dare to lie, that day, the slave and maid had nothing to do, and went to talk to Sister Ju'er, and it happened that Mrs. Tang was also talking to Ju'er, and the slave saw that the bracelet in her hand was very good-looking, so she used it to play. I really don't know that it is a treasure given by the first emperor. It is expected that at this time, the phoenix bracelet should still be at Mrs. Tang's place, and she asked the lord and the old palace master to send someone to find it, so as to be innocent of the slave and maid. ”

Shen Pu and Hu Cheng glanced at each other.

blatantly dared to steal in the Anle Palace, and the stolen things were the treasures of the first emperor, where did this Mrs. Tang come from to be so bold?

"Lord Shen, since you and Hu Mansion Cheng happened to encounter this matter face to face, this king has the courage to ask the two adults to go to the mansion to search in the Tang Lu Bu house, if it is as this cheap maid said, please Lord Shen judge impartially, this king will not tolerate it." Zhao Ji said.

The maid crawled half a step on her knees and came to Shen Pu's feet.

"The slave maid also asked Lord Shen to move to the house, so that the slave and maid could get rid of suspicion."

Looking down at the maid's pitiful appearance, Shen Pu seemed to have a very strange feeling, this maid's eyes clearly concealed extremely complex emotions, as if there were a thousand words, but there was nowhere to confide.

"What's your name?" Shen Pu asked.

"The slave's nickname is Zhu'er."

"Okay, the next official will go to the mansion with the old palace master." Shen Pu agreed.
