After that night, Chu Mu did not appear in her courtyard for several days.

But he sent Nanfeng over to assist Ruan Tang in finding Chunhan and Xia Zhu together.

Ruan Tang wanted to thank him, but he never appeared.

I had no choice but to make some snacks and ask Nanfeng to bring them back to him as a token of gratitude.

When Nanfeng returned to King Ning's Mansion with the food box, he happened to meet Beiyue, who had returned.

"How did you get back?" The south wind was a little surprised.

Beiyue has been staying in the Northwest all this time, helping to investigate the murder of Tana's parents.

"Is there a clue?" Nanfeng asked.

Beiyue nodded, "Well, there is something that must be given to His Highness in person." ”

Seeing his solemn face, Nanfeng guessed that it must be an important clue, otherwise he would not have come back in person.

"Let's go together, I'm just going to find His Highness too."

With that, the two went to the study together.

During this time, Chu Mu has been in the study.

There were too many folds during the time I went to the Western Regions, and Chu Mu was in the study day and night these days.

When the two came in, Chu Mu was sitting upright at the desk and reading the folds.

"Your Highness." The south wind and the north moon saluted in unison.

Xu heard Beiyue's voice, and Chu Mu raised his eyes and looked over.

"Why are you back?" Chu Mu asked the same question as Nanfeng.

"My subordinates have received very important clues, and I will personally return and present them to His Highness."

When Chu Mu heard this, he put down the wolf in his hand.

Beiyue took out a folded cloth bag from his arms, stepped forward, and put his hands in front of Chu Mu.

Chu Mu took it and opened it, and it was half a white jade plaque carved with carp, which was still stained with dots of blood.

Chu Mu looked at the white jade plate, and his eyes became heavy.

"Where did you find this?" He still lowered his eyes and looked at the jade pendant.

"It was found under the couch of a family in that village."

"Who knows about this jade pendant?"

"The county lords in Xia and there, and two of his men."

"Let them cover their mouths tightly, this jade plate will not be used as evidence for the time being, you go back and continue to investigate."

"Yes, Your Highness." Beiyue hurriedly responded.

Soon Kitatsuki withdrew from the study.

Nanfeng then put the food box on Chu Mu's desk, "Your Highness, let's eat something first, this is what Miss Ruan asked me to bring to you." ”

Chu Mu raised his eyes and glanced at the food box, and then spoke for a moment: "Let's put this first." ”

After speaking, his eyes returned to the jade plate in his hand again, he rubbed it lightly through the cloth, got up, walked to the bookshelf on the side, took a wooden box on the top of the bookshelf, and walked back to the desk to sit down.

He opened the wooden box, searched inside for a while, and found a small wooden box.

Nanfeng stood by and watched him until he opened the small wooden box, and inside lay a jade plaque that was exactly the same as the one that Beiyue had given him just now.

Nanfeng was surprised, just now when he put the food box on the table, he glanced at the jade card in his hand, only felt a little familiar, but didn't think much about it.

Now that he saw His Royal Highness take out another identical jade plaque, he suddenly remembered.

The two jade plaques were put together, which were supposed to be one, but they were deliberately separated and turned into a pair.

And this jade plate belongs to the former emperor, that is, the royal brother of His Royal Highness.

At that time, His Royal Highness went on an expedition with the Emperor, and the Emperor gave one of them to His Highness, and the other to another general.

It means that the two of them are the right-hand men of the emperor.

Later, the general was seriously wounded by an arrow on the battlefield in order to save His Royal Highness, and later went.

Before leaving, the general was most relieved that his wife and daughter were to ask the emperor and His Royal Highness to help take care of them.

When the emperor was alive, he did treat the general's family well, but the general was originally from the northwest, and his wife decided to stay in the northwest after the general's death.

The emperor agreed, but the care that should have been given has always been the same.

After the first emperor's funeral, this task was given to Chu Mu.

Chu Mu has naturally taken good care of them over the years, and he has a lot of money and things every year.

"Nanfeng, you sent someone to check, how is General Cheng's family now? And what's going on with this jade plate? Why is it in Tana's village? ”

Although they are all in the northwest, the place where the general's family is located is 108,000 miles away from Tana's house, and they are not in the same direction at all.

And he didn't believe that General Cheng's family would kill the people in Tana's village.

The most important thing is that General Cheng's family is only his wife and two daughters, and three women, and they will never have the ability to kill an entire village.

But what's going on with this jade plaque?

Chu Mu's brows frowned tightly, as if he felt a large net coming towards him, but he couldn't find an exit for a while.

"Your Highness, otherwise your subordinates will go there in person."

Chu Mu glanced at him, then nodded.

"It's okay, you go in person, this king can rest assured."

The south wind responded and was about to go out, when Chu Mu stopped him again.

"How's she doing lately? How's the person looking? ”

Nanfeng was stunned for a moment, and then understood who he was talking about.

"There are no clues yet, Miss Ruan's two maids seem to have disappeared, and there is no trace at all."

Nanfeng's ability to do things, Chu Mu has never questioned it.

Now he can't even find anyone.

"Do you have an eye out there?"

"I also checked, but no, my subordinates think, will this person have left Shangjing?"

Chu Mu twisted his eyebrows, "In any case, you first arrange the matter of finding someone here, and then go to check the matter of the jade plate." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Chu Mu waved his hand and motioned for him to go down.

The south wind made a gesture, turned and retreated.

However, when he closed the door for him, he couldn't help but say another word to Chu Mu.

"Your Highness, the dim sum in the food box was made by Miss Ruan herself, you remember to eat it."

After Nanfeng closed the door, Chu Mu's eyes fell on the food box.

He looked at the box for a few moments before raising his hand to open the lid.

Inside were several delicate dim sums, one of which, he remembered had appeared at a flower-viewing feast, which he knew was made by the chef in her school, seemed to be called 'cake'.

But he didn't eat it at the time.

When I saw it now, I had a little desire to taste it.

He took them all out and put them on the table, only to pick them up one by one and put them in his mouth.

He doesn't really like sweets, but these snacks are not sweet and greasy, but have a fragrance, which will make people unsatisfied after eating.

Before he knew it, he had eaten it all.

He put the snack plate in the food box, lifted it and walked out of the study.

Outside, there was just a louder sound.

Chu Mu carried the food box, and a few leaps forward, and when they fell, they had already arrived in the courtyard of Ruan Tang's courtyard.

But as soon as he fell, and before he could gain a foothold, a gust of wind came at him.

He hurriedly dodged, and soon a figure flew in front of him.

Before he could see the person clearly, there was another wind of applause......
