"Hmm. "Yan Saburo is naturally not concerned about the trouble of the three stewards," King Wei has already set his sights on the Yao Mansion to find out the owner of the handprint. But I don't seem to be too worried about He Xiaoyuan, I think there is a way to deal with it. ”

"You can't trust her completely. Chitose said lazily, "If it is revealed, it will be affected by her." ”

Yan Saburo nodded: "I'll discuss with her again, time is running out." ”

......

An hour later, what was supposed to happen happened.

The two guards lifted the curtain and said stiffly to He Xiaoyuan and Yan Sanlang: "You two, come out!"

Trouble comes to the door. And Yan Saburo noticed that the uniform of this guard was different from that of Yaofu.

This is the royal family's bodyguard.

He had to carry the box on his back and was escorted to the mountain with He Xiaoyuan, but all the way he walked around, all he saw were people from Yao Mansion.

Everyone was brought up.

Sure enough, there were only women and teenagers in their early teens.

The group was taken halfway up the mountain, where there was a large open space and a few rooms.

A large house in the middle was brightly lit, and the room was full of servants of the Yao family. As for the women in the Yao family's rooms, they have not yet arrived at the scene.

When Yan Saburo arrived, he happened to see the wife of the third steward of the Yao Mansion coming out of the black stone house, with black ink still on her hands.

Sure enough, the method that King Wei came up with was to compare the palm prints.

The woman's face was as pale as earth, and the third steward was nowhere to be seen, obviously the Yao Mansion punished the two of them very heavily.

However, the wife of the third steward is by no means a spy, which is evidenced by the fact that she can get out of the black stone house safely.

There were more than 400 people in the Yao family, more than half of whom were women, and more than 20 children over the age of 10. These children are the hope of the Yao family in the future, and of course they must be taken away when they leave the capital.

So, this time, there are a lot of people who want to be screened.

Yan Saburo remained silent, glanced at He Xiaoyuan, and saw that her face was as usual. What's behind her?

asked before, He Xiaoyuan refused to reveal it, only said that he would see it when the time came. She was so good at the chest that he didn't mention it anymore.

In the room, Gong Qian said to Ke Yanhua fairly: "Master Ke, everyone in the Yao family is eligible. The king's meaning is to start with the subordinates. ”

"The king is thoughtful. Ke Yanhua nodded, "Then call the expatriates in first." "It would be best if it could be found out that the spy had infiltrated from outside, so as not to make a big fuss against the Yao family, and King Wei would save his grandfather's face to some extent.

Standing under Father-in-law Qian is the second steward. When he saw Father-in-law Qian's gaze sweeping over, he immediately understood and strode out of the house.

It's freezing and it's crowded.

The second steward opened his mouth to speak, and in a blink of an eye, he saw He Xiaoyuan and Yan Saburo standing aside, and immediately changed his mind, pointed at the two of them and said, "You two come in." ”

The two followed the second steward and walked into the Black Stone House.

The atmosphere in the room was solemn, and there were a few people sitting in front of him, and Yan Saburo only recognized one father-in-law. It's just that on this occasion, Father-in-law Qian looked at him as if he were a stranger, and his eyes did not fluctuate.

The two hurriedly saluted.

He Xiaoyuan's face was full of cramped and uneasy, and Yan Sanlang's performance was even more accurate, his eyes wandered and flew around, revealing timidity.

As a confidant of King Wei, Ke Yanhua didn't bother to ask what the surnames of these two grass people were. But he caught a glimpse of the bookcase behind Yan Saburo, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand: "What's in there?"

Without waiting for the guards on the side to pull it, Yan Saburo obediently unloaded the bookcase and opened the lid by himself.

The cat jumped out and burrowed into his feet, too, looking frightened.

He Xiaoyuan watched from the side, and secretly said that if there is a master, there must be a cat, and this is really a good thing.

"Cat?" Ke Yanhua was surprised, and his voice was raised three degrees, "How can it be a cat!"

The team's schedule is so tight, and the materials are not enough to distribute, how can there be a subordinate who will keep a cat in the team!

The second steward immediately replied: "These two are the accompanying doctors brought into the team by Huo Peng, and they are usually managed by Huo Peng." ”

The implication is that the three stewards are aware and connived.

Huo Peng was denounced by him, and he didn't know where he was unlucky at this time. If the person is not at the scene, he can only accuse.

Father-in-law Qian recognized the two people in front of him, turned his head to Ke Yanhua and said, "That person fell ill in Wushibao, and it was they who discovered the cause. ”

Liao Qing ate the water of the cold well in Wushibao, and the wind was cold and almost died, Ke Yanhua knew about this, and he glanced at He Xiaoyuan more when he heard the words.

"No, don't dare to take credit!" she had a worried look on her face, and she stammered a little when she spoke, "Lord Hui, this cat's sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and it has been trained to distinguish medicine and poison, so it is a good helper for practicing medicine." ”

"Really?" the palace man checked the box and found that there was only a little clutter inside. To be honest, Ke Yanhua didn't care why there was still a cat in the convoy. Now that he had more important tasks to perform, he clicked on the paper on his desk and said to the two of them, "Come up and dip in ink and stamp a palm print." ”

Yan Saburo came first.

The ink was already on the side, and he reached out to press it, his palms still trembling a little. Father-in-law Qian couldn't help but shouted: "Press it steadily, don't tremble!"

"Yes, yes!" Yan Saburo took a deep breath and printed his palm on the paper, and his movements were a little hasty.

"Lift up!"

When he raised his palm, someone next to him came over and blew lightly to make the ink dry quickly.

He Xiaokite was also required to act in accordance with the law, and pressed the palm print on the paper.

Soon, Ke Yanhua took out a palm print and compared it with Yan Saburo's side by side.

The paper is thin but not torn, tough and transparent.

"It doesn't match. He only glanced at it, then waved his hand to Yan Saburo to step back.

The twelve-year-old was slightly taller than his peers and had larger hands...... Larger than the palm print of a spy, it is easy to get rid of.

At this time, He Xiaokite's palm print was also blown dry, and the palace people carefully handed it over, and Ke Yanhua spread it on the table and compared it again.

At this moment, Yan Saburo's whole heart was raised.

He Xiaokite's hands are small, and this time it is not so easy to rule out. Ke Yanhua folded the two pieces of paper together, held them up, and pointed them to the lamp.

Only then did Yan Saburo notice that the oil lamp in front of him was exceptionally bright, and just such a small light made the whole house as bright as day. It glowed with a hint of gold, and the smoke was small, and there was a faint aroma in the air.

It's not fruity, it's a bit like fat, and people who are hungry smell even hungrier.

The peculiar smell soon reminded Tsubame of a lamp oil he had seen in books: whale oil.

Giant whales in the sea are not so easy to hunt, so to some extent, pure whale oil is even more rare than shark oil, after all, sharks also live in land swamps.

Once the paper is close to the oil lamp, it becomes almost transparent. So the palm prints on the paper easily overlapped.
