On the carriage back, Qin Siyue joked: "Your Highness, didn't you stay there for a few days when you went to the post station to investigate the case?" Why can't you even remember a person? ”

Xiao Wang was inexplicably weak-hearted, his face was indifferent, and he said idly: "Investigating the case is Lord Gu's business, I just need to appease Prince Suhe, besides, all the suspects in the post station at that time were not allowed to leave their rooms without permission, I only seem to have seen her once, where do I remember." ”

Qin Siyue was relieved: "This Doctor Jiang's medical skills are really good, but his character is not very good, he is used to taking Qiao, if it weren't for Si Lang's illness and she still needs to be treated, I would have talked about her a long time ago." ”

Xiao Wangdao: "I have asked people to search for famous doctors, maybe I can find someone with better medical skills than her, and I will replace her when the time comes." ”

He knows Qin Siyue's temperament, he is competitive and jealous, if he speaks for Jiang Wanning, Qin Siyue will attack Jiang Wanning regardless of Si Lang's illness or not.

Last year, the Queen Mother just mentioned it, saying that Qin Siyue had not been able to give the royal family a leaf, and she wanted to pick two more Liangdi for him to put by her side, and the Queen Mother took a fancy to Yao Ying of the Ministry of Rites. Qin Siyue somehow found out about this, and it didn't take long for him to embarrass Yao Ying in public at a party. Yao Ying, who was frightened, refused to enter the East Palace.

Of course, this is a good thing for him, one Qin Siyue is enough trouble, and another one, the two of them fight to the death every day, which is even more of a headache.

When Qin Siyue heard Xiao Wang say this, she felt a little more at ease, and changed the topic: "Your Highness just listened to you and your father, and the north is also starting to be chaotic?" ”

"Inquire less about state affairs."

"The concubine is not inquiring about state affairs, you see that our capital is in chaos like this, or at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the concubine is worried about the people in the north, and the food price over there is afraid that it will rise even more crazy!"

Xiao Wangyu said: "Yes, this morning the dynasty received a report from officials in Dengzhou, Yunzhou and other places, and the price of grain has been out of control, it is said that it has risen to seven or eight taels of silver and a stone, and it is impossible to buy grain." ”

Qin Siyue was secretly delighted, the grain that Lu Shanshan collected here was five taels and two dollars and one stone, plus the cost of transportation, it was six taels and one stone, and according to the current grain price in the north, it was already guaranteed and there was still a little profit.

Xiao Wang saw a smile hidden in her eyes, and couldn't help frowning: "What are you happy about?" ”

There is a food shortage in the north, do you think it's funny?

If it was changed to Nan Yu, Nan Yu would have jumped up and scolded the officials of the DPRK and China for being incompetent, and would have already found a way to solve the problem.

Nan Yu will take the initiative to ask for it, and then will accompany him to the north.

Qin Siyue was happy for a while, forgot to restrain herself, and was questioned by Xiao Wang, so she woke up and pretended to be stupid to deny: "The concubine doesn't have it!" ”

Xiao Wang looked at her suspiciously: "You shouldn't be involved in reselling grain, right?" ”

Recently, there have been rumors that there are many people who are collecting grain and planning to transport it to the north to make a lot of money, including some officials and princes.

Qin Siyue was shocked, and hurriedly denied: "How is it possible? The concubine has no money in her hands, and the East Palace has that little property, what can she do? ”

These words poked Xiao Wang's embarrassment, he may be the poorest prince in the history of Great Qi. His father rewarded him with some inheritance, but those inheritances could not be touched. Without the support of the mother family, the foundation of Anping Bofu is not deep, and his help is still too little.

Xiao Wang said stupidly: "You'd better not touch this kind of thing." ”

In the evening, Jiang Wanning and Brother Jiang Shi had just had dinner, and Zheng Guan came again.

Zheng Guan whispered to Jiang Wanning: "Han Shu is awake, my lord, please come over." ”

Jiang Wanning immediately said: "Let's go." ”

Jiang Shi hurriedly pulled Jiang Wanning aside: "Siniang, are you still going at night?" What is your relationship with that Master Gu? Why did he tell you to go when you had to go? ”

"Brother, don't make trouble, Master Gu really has something important to do with me."

"No, if you don't make it clear, I won't let you go, no matter what kind of adult he is."

Forget it during the day, what's the deal with calling people at night?

Jiang Wanning was helpless: "Brother, have you heard of the mysterious death of thirteen Dayuan merchants in the post station?" ”

"I've heard of it, when I passed by Hexi Town."

"At that time, I was in the post station, Prince Su He wanted to kill everyone in the post station to avenge his people, it was Lord Gu who saved us people, including Zheng Guan, so we all miss Lord Gu's kindness, and Zheng Guan is now simply on an errand for Lord Gu."

Jiang Shigang knew that his sister-in-law was actually one of the parties to this big case.

"It turned out to be a life-saving benefactor, that's okay, you can go, but you have to pay attention yourself, after all, you are your daughter's family, don't suffer a loss."

Jiang Wanning was speechless: "Brother, Master Gu is a righteous gentleman." ”

It's still in that house.

Gu Zhouzhu, Ji Yunchen, as well as Jiuli and Mo Yu, were all in Han Shu's room.

Ji Yunchen was very puzzled: "Who are you waiting for, Gu Zhou?" ”

Gu Zhouzhu didn't know which tendon was wrong, Han Shu woke up and said that there was something important to tell him, but Gu Zhouzhu asked him to close his eyes first and rest his mind, and wait for someone to come.

Gu Zhou stopped and said lightly: "You will know when people come." ”

said that Cao Cao Cao was there, and Jiang Wanning came in the door.

Ji Yunchen saw that Jiang Wanning was not calm, and Huo Ran got up: "What do you mean by Gu Zhou stopping?" Why did you call her? ”

Why did this woman get involved in such an important matter? This is the biggest secret of him and Gu Zhou.

The key is that this Jiang lady has always been mysterious and her purpose is unknown.

Gu Zhou stopped: "Yun Chen, do you remember the murder weapon that could not be found in the case of Prince Suhe?" ”

"What does it have to do with this?"

As soon as Jiang Niangzi heard it, she pointed out that the murder weapon was Bingling, and there was also the post station case, she had long known that the murderer was Hua Yicheng. Jiang Niangzi, tell me, how do you know? ”

Jiang Wanning knew that Gu Zhou's stop was to let Ji Yunchen know her ability and let her really participate in the investigation.

So Jiang Wanning said: "Little Junwang, the room you interrogated me for the first time was Hua Yicheng's, right?" When I went in, I noticed that the window bolt was new, and I asked my people to observe it, and only the window bolt in Hua Yicheng's room was new. ”

"And the night I arrived at the inn, when I was bullied by the people of Dayuan, although Hua Yicheng didn't say anything, he looked at those people of Dayuan with fierce killing intent in his eyes, and he also wore a string of bells on his wrist, but the bells were tied with strips of cloth, if he guessed correctly, it was something he cherished extremely much, from his beloved."

Ji Yunchen was very surprised, he naturally heard Gu Zhouzhu say the original story of the case, but he didn't expect Jiang Wanning to deduce the murderer based on these few details alone.

"What about the footprints?"

"That night, Hu Quan cooperated with Hua Yicheng, they moved the ladder together, and Hu Quan's every step was on Hua Yicheng's footprints, so I only saw one footprint that night, one foot and two inches, which happened to be Hu Quan's footprints."

"This point was only thought of on the day I left the inn, when I saw Hu Quan walking habitually stepping on the footprints of his predecessors."

Ji Yunchen stopped talking, okay, he admitted that Jiang Wanning was very good and meticulous, and no clues could escape her eyes, but just because she had some ability, did Gu Zhouzhu want her to participate in their secrets? Gu Zhouzhu trusted her so much?
