The prince rarely gets tough and wants to help the Yulin Army. Ming Huazhang, Ren Yao and Jiangling led people to search the city, and they were so busy that they were not touching the ground. Ming Huashang and Xie Jichuan were idle.
What Ming Huashang can do is to draw directions in the early stage to make soldiers more focused when searching, but actually finding people requires experience and intuition. Xie Jichuan Xian was purely because he was lazy and didn’t want to suffer from going out to find someone. He was mixed with Ming Huashang, a physical waste all day long.
Both of them had nothing to do, and their eyes turned to the scene where the murderer finally left behind. They were full of interest in the murderer’s riddle, and stayed in the pavilion all day long and looked at the right, trying to find out where the next victim left by the murderer was the name of the next victim.
Unfortunately, the two of them looked at each floor tiles on the pavilion, but they still found nothing. Xie Jichuan wondered: “No, the pavilion is only? It’s so big, where can he hide it or is it that he wrote his name outside?”
Xie Jichuan’s eyes couldn’t help but fall to the river and the woods. Ming Huashang pondered for a while, shook his head and said, “I don’t think so. His first two gifts – the long-lived lock and the plaque, seemed obvious in hindsight, but in the scene at that time, one was that Manager Qian was happy to get a noble son, and the other was a highly respected miracle doctor. It was reasonable for them to receive such things. The murderer was very considerate of himself and would not write riddles in a very abrupt place, such as engraving words on a certain tree or a stone, that would be too low-level. I guess that the riddle must be right in front of us, a place that everyone can see but not pay attention to.”
Xie Jichuan looked at the pavilion, raised his eyebrows and said, “What is the name of this pavilion?”
Ming Huashang walked outside, circled around, and said, “The name was not written, but there is a couplet here.”
Xie Jichuan gently raised his leg, crossed the railing, and went to see the couplet outside: “The sun is out of the morning and no one cares about it, and the moon is bright and flowing water is allowed to go.”
Ming Huashang touched the edge of the couplet. Even though it was already blackened by smoke, it could still be seen. Xie Jichuan called someone to ask, and the yamen runner replied: “Report to the servant and the second wife of Ming, this was changed by the whole city in order to welcome the saint’s carriage last year.”
It turned out to be changed by the government… Ming Huashang and Xie Jichuan were both a little disappointed. Ming Huashang asked, “Is the wooden sign you changed at that time the time is the one you have now?”
The yamen runner looked at him seriously and shook his head helplessly: “My wife, these couplets are almost the same, I really can’t remember it.”
Ming Huashang said thank you and let the yamen runner go back. Xie Jichuan looked up at the couplet again and said, “It’s a clue, take it back and give it a try. The sun is dark and no one cares about it, and the moon is bright and flowing water is allowed to be found. If the name is hidden in these words, it is really hard to find.”
This couplet is ordinary, and all the common words are used. When combined, you can spell out half of the name of Chang’an. Xie Jichuan is arrogant and quick-witted and good at solving puzzles. He doesn’t believe he will lose.A murderer. He stared at the couplet, hugging his arms without saying a word, quickly combining words in his mind.
Ming Huashang is not good at solving riddles, so she gave up after reading it for a while. She paced in the pavilion, always feeling that they had forgotten something.
She turned around several times, stared at the shape of the Jingzhao Mansion on the ground, and clapped her hands suddenly: “Yes, who said that there is only this pavilion on the scene, and there are obviously corpses!”
Ming Huashang and Xie Jichuan copied couplets back to Jingzhao Mansion, and went to Yizhuang to see Yan Jingcheng’s corpse. Xie Jichuan stared at the autopsy. Now he introduced the body to Ming Huashang. He was familiar with it: “This is Yan Jingcheng. At that time, he was burned to the point of being unrecognizable, and it was recognized by the ornaments on his body.”
Ming Huashang picked up the gold ornaments and broken jade in the tray next to him, and sighed sincerely: “It seems that jewelry still needs gold, not afraid of burning, nor is it afraid of breaking.”
Xie Jichuan raised his eyebrows and said, “If it is to participate in the explosion, then it is true.”
Ming Huashang ignored him and checked Yan Jingcheng’s ornaments one by one. Xie Jichuan looked lazy for a while, and gently exclaimed, calling the guard to come in: “Anyone has come in during this period? Have you ever been here? Why do I feel that there are fewer things?”
The guard said in a trepidation: “No! Sir, the young man patrolled every day. He has to check several times at night, and no thief came in.”
“Is that true?” Xie Jichuan thought about it, “I didn’t remember it specifically, and I always feel that he has more things on him than these.”
Ming Huashang put down the fragments and asked, “Brother Xie, are there any problems?”
Xie Jichuan thought for a while and shook his head slowly: “It’s okay, maybe it’s mine? Is there any clues on these things?”
Ming Huashang sighed: “No, they are all ordinary ones? Rings, belts, and fan pendants, except for the sufficient amount of gold, there are no other abnormalities.”
Xie Jichuan knew that it would be so. He looked at the sky and said, “It’s time to leave, let’s go back to the city first.”
The guard of Yizhuang carefully sent them out. The inspection of Chang’an in the past few days is much stricter than before, and you can feel the solemnity when you walk on the road. Ming Huashang and Xie Jichuan had the Jingzhao Mansion token, and they walked smoothly through the city gate and headed towards Tongjifang. On the way, Xie Jichuan asked, “You are running outside all day, are your family not interested?”
“Yes.” Ming Huashang said, “But I don’t listen.”
Xie Jichuan chuckled softly, “The impression you give is completely different from your true appearance.”
Ming Huashang looks sweet and gentle, and speaks in a cute and charming way, and looks very well-behaved. When he first met, he thought that this was a spoiled daughter. When he saw her in person, he realized that under his beautiful and cute appearance, there might be a rebellious person.Unruly heart.
Ming Huashang blinked innocently, her eyes wide and clear, and she didn’t look like she could do bad things. The two of them were talking in unison. In front of them, it was Jingzhao Mansion. Ming Huashang was anxious to see Ming Huazhang and did not notice that he bumped into someone.
In front of him, there was a thin and short man. He was hit by Ming Huashang, and he seemed to be frightened. He quickly took two steps back and fell to the ground. Ming Huashang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly leaned over to help him: “Sorry, I didn’t see you standing here. Where did you fall? Do you need to see a doctor?”
Although Ming Huashang felt that she didn’t use much effort, the other party fell down, and it was her that was wrong. Unexpectedly, the man was avoiding her like a snake and scorpion. He fiercely avoided Ming Huashang’s hand, got up from the ground regardless of his foot injury, and limped away.
Ming Huashang’s hand was in the air and said in surprise: “I haven’t finished talking yet… Really? Isn’t it okay?”
The other party had already run away. Xie Jichuan slowly stopped beside her, looked up at the person’s back, and said: “You can still run. It seems that the foot injury is not serious. Don’t worry about him, let’s go.”
Ming Huashang frowned, stood up with his knees, and said: “This is the first time I saw someone hitting me. I’m not angry or improper, but I don’t run back.”
Xie Jichuan said leisurely: “There are all kinds of birds in the forest. Maybe he has done something wrong and feels guilty.”
Ming Huashang still felt very strange. She walked into Jingzhao Mansion while talking to Xie Jichuan, and just ran into Ren Yao and Jiangling at the door. Ming Huashang saw them escorting someone with great fanfare and asked in surprise: “Sister Ren, what are you doing?”
Ren Yao said, loosened his wristbands, changed his hand to a knife, and said, “This is a witness. We have found a jewelry store that gave Liu’s son a long life lock. At the end of last year, a person did come to their store to customize the long life lock. At that time, the other party was wearing a cloak. They didn’t see their faces clearly, but they recognized their figure. This is the waiter of that store. We followed your portrait and caught a suspicious person. Jingzhao Yin was interrogating him. Ming Huazhang asked us to bring the waiter to recognize people.”
Jiang Ling followed behind carelessly and said, “Where have you and Xie Jichuan gone again? Why did you come back to Minghuazhang and find you every once incense stick of it, which is so annoying. He said, if you come back, you will go to his palace to rest, and wait until he finishes reviewing the person and go home together.”
Ming Huashang nodded and said, “No need to bother, I’ll go find him.”
Ren Yao said, “Then let’s go together, I’m going to send someone to the inner hall.”
Jiang Ling looked at Shichen and had a premonition that he could not go to the yamen today. Seeing Xie Jichuan standing still, he pulled him over: “I can’t leave, no one can think of leaving. Let’s go, go hungry together.”
The court in Jingzhao Mansion is divided into bright halls,The inner hall, the former is for the people to watch, while the latter is not open to the public. Today, the Jingzhao Mansion uses a more private inner hall. You can hear the sound of the gavel inside from afar. The few of them walked into the court without any reservation.
Jingzhao Yin sat on the top of the suspect, and Ming Huazhang sat on the side with his sleeves. He noticed that someone came outside, and glanced at her light, and then she turned her eyes softly when she saw Ming Huashang’s eyes, and reached out to signal her to come.
Ming Huashang tiptoed behind Ming Huazhang, Ming Huazhang held her wrist and placed her beside him. Neither of them communicated extra, and listened quietly to the interrogation ahead.
Ming Huashang came halfway? After listening to it, he guessed that this was a hawker selling fireworks and firecrackers. He was introverted and had no wife or child. Neighbors said that he had encountered him several times following a good woman, and his whereabouts were sneaky and no one was willing to interact with him. The government thought this person looked very much like a criminal, so it brought him back for interrogation.
Jingzhao Yin was so stern, and slapped the arson, saying, “The unruly He Yong, you are not honest in telling you whether you killed Qian Yi, Chu Ji and Yan Jingcheng?”
“Sir, the Cao people are wronged.” The man kneeling in the hall was dressed in sloppy clothes, speechless, and his eyes were floating everywhere. He looked very gloomy and obscene. He begged for mercy, “A little one, a Cao people, can’t even talk to these big shopkeepers, how can he beg for them to kill them?”
“You dare to argue!” Jingzhao Yin shouted angrily, “It is obvious that someone has seen that you have appeared near Jinxiu Tower several times, following Liu’s carriage. You must be coveting Liu’s beauty, and are dissatisfied with your poverty and loneliness, so you killed her husband, do you admit your guilt?”
The man kept calling for justice, but he went back and forth but couldn’t say anything, and he really didn’t have much persuasiveness. Jingzhao Yin was too lazy to talk in vain. He looked at the waiter with a solemn face and asked, “That day? Is it him who came to your store?”
The waiter frowned and stared at the man kneeling in the hall, looking left and right, hesitantly, “It’s a bit like it.”
All the witnesses said this, then it can be implemented. The yamen runner next to him said, “He must be the murderer. He looks so gloomy, but he doesn’t look like a good person.”
“Yes, he is thin, gloomy and weird, and he still deals with gunpowder all day long. It must be him if he doesn’t run away.”
