Qingzhou City finally quieted down late at night, and on the towering wooden building, two black-clothed people with face towels, one tall and one short, stood together.

Shen Qingyang raised his hand, pointed to a large mansion in front of him and said:

After the princess returned to Beijing, the main courtyard was empty, and there were only a few mothers-in-law on duty at night. I'll be able to put them all asleep in about two quarters of an hour, and you will wait at the corner door, and don't move, until I come back and pick you up." ”

Mei Xue nodded and followed Shen Qingyang down the wooden building quickly.

Miscellaneous peanut trees, at the corner gate of the remote garden, Mei Xue squatted in the flowers and waited for a long time, Shen Qingyang turned back and led her all the way into the main courtyard.

The courtyard was pitch black, and Shen Qingyang closed the doors and windows of the main house before lighting a small corner lamp.

Starting from the bedroom, to the main hall and study, Mei Xue carefully checked all the items, but did not find anything unusual.

Not even the slightest unusual smell.

Shen Qingyang opened the door lock of Princess Chenyang's private warehouse in the main courtyard again, and took Mei Xue in to check it.

But nothing was found.

Shen Qingyang frowned, extinguished the corner lamp in his hand and left the princess's mansion with Mei Xue.

It was almost dawn, and they couldn't stay any longer.

Mei Xue didn't feel depressed, and after returning to the inn, she cleaned her hands and sat down at the table, and after thinking about it, she said to Shen Qingyang:

"Look for an opportunity to see if you can let me go to Cai Yu's house to have a look."

Shen Qingyang looked at Mei Xue, thought for a while and said:

"It's very easy, I'll go to Yuan Hao and ask him to invite Cai Yu to drink."

Mei Xue said "um", and no longer paid attention to Shen Qingyang, just sat silently by the window and closed her eyes, and went through all the details of the princess's mansion just now, but still found nothing.

Shen Qingyang stood at the door of the room, looked at Mei Xue for a while, and then quietly went out.

In the evening of the next day, Shen Qingyang took Mei Xue out, and not long after dark, they entered Cai Yu's study in the outer courtyard.

They are all precious calligraphy, paintings and utensils, and they are well placed.

Shen Qingyang held the small corner lamp, followed Mei Xue and moved slowly, carefully checking all the places, including the corners and corners of the bedroom and the clean room.

But there was still nothing, not even the slightest sign of suspicion.

Shen Qingyang put the lamp on the table and whispered to Mei Xue:

"Why don't you go back today, and then find a chance to see the rooms of the concubines, and those who can serve the princess closely."

Mei Xue shook her head, her eyes turning to a picture of Hanjiang fishing on the back wall.

Shen Qingyang stopped talking and walked to Mei Xue with the lamp.

Mei Xue reached out and touched the painting, and whispered:

"Everything in this study is a fine product, but this painting is too ordinary, but it hangs in such an eye-catching position."

Mei Xue's fingers slowly slid to the blank space of the painting, and her voice was still very low:

"The blank space of this painting is also too wide."

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows and moved, immediately handed the lamp to Mei Xue, and then stretched out his long arm and took the painting from the wall.

A narrow wooden door looms out of the wall.

Shen Qingyang gritted his teeth and said to Mei Xue:

"You stay here and wait for me, I'll go in and have a look. If there is a situation, you can run, if you can't, you can hide, and don't worry about me. ”

As he spoke, Shen Qingyang stuffed a gold token to Mei Xue, took the lamp in her hand, turned around and entered the dark passage.

Watching Shen Qingyang walk into the dark room, Mei Xue pursed her lips and smiled silently, then closed the wooden door, stepped on a chair and hung the painting on the wall.

After wiping the marks on the chair, Mei Xue walked to the dark shadow in the corner and waited quietly for Shen Qingyang.

The moonlight is cold, and the weather in Qingzhou has a winter chill compared with Luoyang.

Mei Xue looked at the flower shadows outside through the window, and her fingers hanging down her sleeves gently rubbed her fingers.

Maybe tonight, in two or three days at most, the truth will come out.

How many sins are hidden in this prosperous world?

Involving Princess Chenyang and Emperor Mingde, who was already angry, a bloody storm could not be avoided.

It was more than an hour before there was a gentle knock on the wooden door.

Mei Xue stood on the chair and took down the painting, and Shen Qingyang pushed open the wooden door and walked out.

In the dim light, Mei Xue could see that Shen Qingyang's face was extremely unhappy.

He didn't say anything, and after the two of them cleaned up the study without any flaws, they quickly left the princess's mansion.

As soon as he returned to the inn, Shen Qingyang irritably ripped off the face towel on his face and fell to the ground with hatred.

Mei Xue glanced at him, walked over and picked up the face towel and put it on the table, ignored him, cleaned her hands and sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

Shen Qingyang sulked for a while before he said in a deep voice:

"The dark passage is very long, and at the other end leads to a large house on another street, where a woman lives, and several children and servants who serve them."

When Mei Xue heard it, her first guess was that Cai Yuma had raised an outer room outside.

But since Princess Chenyang is willing to take a few concubines for Cai Juman, and has given birth to several children, why didn't Cai Juma justifiably include this woman in the mansion?

But looking at Shen Qingyang's face, Mei Xue felt that things would definitely not be as simple as she thought.

Sure enough, Shen Qingyang continued:

"The woman looked to be at least fifty years old, and her appearance was very ordinary, like an ordinary village woman."

Mei Xue was really surprised, staring at Shen Qingyang, speechless for a long time.

If it is said that Cai Yuma stole a beautiful outer room and wanted Princess Chenyang to vacate the position of the main room and ruthlessly murdered her, it is barely reasonable, but what is the situation now?

Only two days later, Shen Qingyang found out everything.

It turned out that Cai Yuma's loss of his wife was a scam at all, and his original wife not only lived well, but also lived across the street from the princess's mansion.

He has lived for almost twenty years, raised several children, and his eldest daughter has already married.

The people who now live with the original partner are two sons and several grandchildren.

And the titular husband who was originally married turned out to be a down-and-out classmate of Cai Yuma when he was studying.

Mei Xue was so shocked that she couldn't imagine that this thing comparable to a drama would appear alive in front of her.

Shen Qingyang sneered, gritted his teeth as soon as he grabbed the cup in his hand and said:

"Whether Cai Yu poisoned the princess or not, he will definitely die."

When Princess Chenyang was suffering from illness day and night, Cai's family was happy and enjoyed the privileged life provided by the princess's mansion.

And what Mei Xue thought was that the poison in Princess Chenyang was most likely caused by Cai Yuma.

His original wife is likely to be involved.

The children have grown up and the family has a lot of money, and they don't need Princess Chenyang now.

No, it was the couple who had been calculating Princess Chenyang's life from the beginning.

The next day, Shen Qingyang asked one of Yuan Hao's subordinates to bring two teams of soldiers in the name of anti-theft, and he and Mei Xue pretended to be ordinary soldiers to join them, and successfully searched the courtyard where Cai Yuma's original partner lived.

Mei Xue found a box from the original bedroom, which contained more than half a box of ground purple shirt leaf powder, which was packed in a small porcelain bottle.

Mei Xue opened a small porcelain vase and sniffed it, looked at the woman opposite lightly and said:

"I wonder where Madame got so many precious medicines? It cost Cai a lot of money, right? ”

The woman's face turned white, but she still argued:

"I don't know Cai Juma at all, this medicine ...... This medicine ...... It is for me to heal the sick. ”

Mei Xue smiled, ignored her, and asked a soldier to take the box for her and left.

People always have to pay for their greed, more than 20 years of deception, and involving the murder of the princess, how many heads will be on the ground?

Mei Xue was packing up her things in the inn and preparing to go back to Luoyang, Shen Qingyang walked in, sat at the table for a while and said:

"The princess's mansion has been sealed, and all the people involved have been imprisoned, do you want to meet Cai Yu?"

Mei Xue did not answer him, but asked:

"What about the children in the princess's mansion?"

The original partner and her children and grandchildren will definitely die, but the children born by these concubines have been called Princess Chenyang's "mother" for many years, as long as Princess Chenyang is willing to intercede, even if they are Cai Yu's children, they can probably save a life.

Shen Qingyang was silent and said:

"They are all in prison, and they will be escorted to the capital together to obey His Majesty's fate."

Mei Xue had nothing to say, so after thinking about it, she followed Shen Qingyang to the prison of the Qingzhou Mansion.

She was really curious about such a strange person in the world.

As Li Jinzhi said, Cai Yu is very ugly, not to mention the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, his face is also burnt yellow, his eyes bulge outward, and his sparse beard makes him more like a mouse.

can just look at the appearance of Emperor Mingde, the brothers of the King of Shu and Li Jinzhi, Li Jinyu and others, you can deduce how beautiful Princess Chenyang would be when she was young.

But most of a woman's life was ruined at the hands of this filthy man in front of her.

Mei Xue looked at him and felt speechless.

Cai Yu knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, begging Shen Qingyang hoarsely to let him see Princess Chenyang, Shen Qingyang was furious, and grabbed him by the neck through the gap in the pillar of the prison door and said:

"Brute, you never want to see the princess again, you remember to me, even if the princess is willing to leave you a whole corpse, I will let you live better than die first."

Cai Yu was pinched by Shen Qingyang, and his feet hung in the air and kept kicking.

Mei Xue gave Cai Yu one last look in disgust, then turned around and walked out.
