Chapter 114 The Case of Qixiang 12
"Don't worry." Qi Ming took out the list from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Mo, "The one who has not recovered the small pot of incense is this Liu's House, and the address is here." He said and handed another note .

Yan Mo took the note and said, "Ning'an Street in the east of the city. It's the east of the city again!"

King Xing and the crown prince came forward to observe the list
"I have to go to the Liu Manor to inquire!" Yan Mo stood up.
"What capacity are you going with?" Qi Ming asked unhurriedly.

Yan Mo paused and fell back to her seat. She looked at the wooden box containing the small pot of incense in thought, then covered the box with one hand and said, "Just as my head!"

Qi Ming: "?"

Seeing Qi Ming's puzzled expression, Yan Mo smiled and said, "But... I need an assistant."

When the prince heard the interest, he bowed his head and said: "This subordinate is willing to go with the head!"

"." Yan Mo frowned, "Brother Jin, you can't."

"Subordinate." The prince couldn't believe it, "Subordinate...can't you?"

Yan Mo frowned, and said embarrassedly: "You look like a good boy, so you can't be my assistant. Besides, what I need is a small follower." As she spoke, she turned her gaze to King Xing, the relationship between Qi Ming and the prince Eyes follow.
"Xiao Wang? To be your follower?!" Xing Wang pointed at himself and said!
"Yeah." Yan Mo raised his eyebrows, nodded as a matter of course, and turned to Qi Ming, "I still need some props, take out all the incense that I used on my body last time!"

Qi Ming: "."

Because of the heavy rain yesterday, even if it is just after noon today, it is not particularly sultry.Yan Mo was still dressed in casual clothes, and Qi Yun helped her tie a hair tangle. When she carried the wooden box on her back, she would look like a street trader!
After Qi Yun's attire, King Xing took off his noble aura, he changed his attire reluctantly, and appeared in front of everyone, thinking, this is great, he has become a wild man! !A bandit!
"This palace finally understands. Why must the Nine Emperor Brothers!" The prince praised, "Looking at it this way, it really looks like a little follower!"

"Brother Prince!!" King Xing was very dissatisfied!
"It's useless to talk too much! Let's go!" Yan Mo took the lead and prepared to set off!
King Xing puffed his cheeks, and angrily followed behind Yan Mo.
Qi Yun and Lan Bo drove the carriage together, and they stopped in an alley two streets away from Ning'an Street.
Yan Mo and Qi Ling each carried a wooden box, got out of the carriage calmly, walked out of the alley, and disappeared into the crowd on the avenue
The two of them came to the gate of Liu's mansion slowly, and Yan Mo made a gesture to push Qi Ying's little follower lightly!

Qilin: "What do you do?"

Yan Mo: "Shout!"

"You! You made me..." Qi Ling refused, desperately lowered his voice and said dissatisfiedly, "You let me be a majestic prince, selling in the street?!!!!"

Yan Mo: "That's right!"

Qi Ling: "Why does Xiao Wang listen to you?!"

Yan Mo smiled and said, "Your second brother told me everything! Qi Zi"

Qilin: "Impossible!"

Yan Mo took a deep breath and shouted, "Qi Zi."

"Don't, don't, don't!!!" Qi Yan hurriedly pulled Yan Mo back, "Xiao Wang, I got it!"

In desperation, Qi Ying had no choice but to clear his throat. The corner of his mouth slanted, and he said as he walked: "The sound of the wind, the sound of the rain, the sound of reading, the sound is in my ears. Famous fragrances, expensive fragrances, exotic fragrances, and fragrances compete for beauty!" He waved his fingers and said, "Scholarly and elegant!" Proper scissor hands!
"Yeah~" Yan Mo always felt that something was missing, so he let out a voice inexplicably!
Qilin mechanical rotor: "."

"." Yan Mo returned to God, "You continue!"

"Sex, hobbies, eccentricities, and fun." Qi Ying smiled as a naughty boy, and continued, "Secrets, intercourse, love, care about everything!" After shouting, he cursed privately, "They are all tigers and wolves. Words! Xiao Wang is not yet of age!"

"Selling, what you want is down-to-earth!" Yan Mo continued, "All kinds of strange storybooks and albums, rare fragrances and treasures from all over the world, relieve your boredom, release your nature, today's special offer, pay beforehand, authentic guarantee, No kidding!!"

Sure enough, the gate of Liu's mansion opened slowly, and the manager trotted out, stopping Yan Mo and the two who were about to leave.

The person in charge: "You two, please stay!"

Yan Mo smiled and said, "What do you want to buy, sir?"

The person in charge: "My wife has been very happy recently, the two of you will follow me into the mansion, and show your wife your goods."

"Hey! Good!" Yan Mo's face was full of smiles, imitating Qi Yun's usual appearance, following up with the steward of the Liu residence.

Qi Lin shook his head helplessly behind him, and followed up with the wooden box in his arms.
In the hall of the Liu Mansion, Yan Mo and Qi Ling stood on one side, waiting for Mrs. Liu's family. She observed the furnishings in the mansion, and found that the furniture and ornaments in the corners were old, but the silk decorations on the surface were very new. , to hide the old furniture
After a while, before the person arrived, a scent of medicinal flowers came to the nostrils!Yan Mo recognized this fragrance, it was Xiaocanxiang!
The manager kept a distance and respectfully said: "Madam, these two are the vendors who are out selling today."

"Oh?" Mrs. Liu, who is about forty or so, is dressed in gorgeous clothes, with gold ornaments covering her wrists and hair bun. She sized her up and said, "What's in that box of yours?"

Yan Mo chuckled twice and said, "Look at the extravagance of Madam, what's in the box, I don't dare to tell you the rare treasures, but there must be something you like!" She opened the wooden box and gave a signal with her eyes.

Qi Ling also opened the wooden box on his body, and turned it out layer by layer, displaying the products.

When Madam Liu saw the small pot of incense, she immediately excitedly said: "Isn't this the small pot of incense that was only available at the market the day before yesterday? Why do you have it too?"

"So madam has seen this incense before!" Yan Mo pretended to be very surprised, and continued, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Qingmu is my senior brother, and he taught me to make these small jars of incense." She observed the other party, Yan Mo didn't know whether the case between Qingyu and the girl had spread
Mrs. Liu picked up the small pot of incense, and said happily: "Oh~ so that's the case, I just tried it the day before yesterday! I didn't expect, hahahaha~ Master Xiang likes it very much, and look!" She said softly and He raised his hand noblely, motioning for the other party to smell it.

It seems that Jing Zhaoyin is not useless, at least the secrecy work is done well, Yan Mo thought so, and approached Mrs. Liu's hand very close, the pungent fragrance made her a little dizzy
Yan Mo hurriedly adjusted his breath, and replied: "It smells really good, the combination of this fragrance and Madam's body fragrance is really interesting!"

"Hehehe~" Mrs. Liu smiled shyly, and the gold bracelet jingled with her movements, "I mean, after using the small jar of incense, the skin is much more tender! Just take a whole jar I have used up all the incense! Wipe it all over my body!!"

"No wonder it smells so good that my nose is about to fall off." Yan Mo said vaguely, and continued to laugh, "If Madam likes it, there is a big bottle for me!" She opened the compartment and took out a jade-colored porcelain bottle road.

Mrs. Liu picked up the jade bottle, opened it, smelled it, and said, "Big bottle is better! Well, the fragrance is the same."

"Madam might as well try." Yan Mo made a gesture of invitation.

Mrs. Liu smiled a bit wickedly, and used her fat fingers to draw out a large pile of ointment and rub it on her body!
Qi Lin's facial features were completely screwed together, he quickly adjusted his breath and blocked some of the aroma, in case he fainted on the spot!
After Madam Liu tried it, she touched her delicate skin and said with a smile, "How do you sell it in a big bottle?"

Yan Mo smiled and said, "Madam bought it sincerely. Originally it was 50 taels a bottle, but today I only charge 45 taels. How about it? If so." She opened the bottom of the box, took out another same jade bottle and said, "Two bottles If you want them all, then there will be a total of 80 taels!"

Mrs. Liu's eyes lit up, and when she was about to agree, she saw Yan Mo raised her index finger and shook it again.
"Yeah!" Yan Mon made two tunes, and continued, "It's more than that, the empty bottles of Xiaoguanxiang can offset it, and one offsets five taels!"

Mrs. Liu's big eyes flashed, and suddenly she frowned and said, "Oh! I'll throw away the empty bottle!"

"Ouch!" Yan Mo pretended to be sorry, "Where did you throw it? Hurry up and pack it up!"

Mrs. Liu tentatively asked: "It's just an empty bottle, can it be worth five taels?"

Yan Mo: "Oh! Ma'am, I don't know something. It's a colorful porcelain pot that my brother bought back from the Western Regions. It's unique in the capital!"

"Xiao Cui!" Mrs. Liu stared at her eyes, and quickly called her close maid, "Xiao Cui! Where did you throw those empty bottles of incense?"

Xiao Cui trotted into the hall, and replied respectfully: "Throw it out the back door."

Yan Mo frowned: "Those?"

"Xiaocui bought three cans for me! They're all used up!!" Madam Liu was anxious, she leaned close to Yan Mo, raised her fat three fingers, and asked, "Is it possible to offset 15 taels of silver?!"

"Ahem!!" Yan Mo coughed twice because of the scent, "That's that! Why don't you ask Xiaocui to take me to see it! Maybe it's still there!"

Qingyu only used half a small jar of incense to preserve the fragrance of the body and slow down the corruption. This lady used a whole three bottles! !If it wasn't for Yan Mo and Qi Ying who constantly adjust their breath, I really don't know if the nose is still there. Three bottles, twelve bottles were recovered, and Fangfu five bottles. It happened to be the same. It seems that the one next to the girl last night was one of these three bottles. a bottle!
Mrs. Liu: "Xiao Cui, hurry up! Take her to have a look!"

Yan Mo's eyes signaled Qi Ying to stay where he was and wait, then he and Xiaocui went to the back door of Liu's mansion.

She went out and looked while walking. It turned out that this is the alley where the crime happened. After going to the road, only houses can be seen in the distance, but the bottom of the alley cannot be seen.

After Yan Mo came back along the alley, Xiao Cui asked, "Did you find the girl?"

Yan Mo shook his head: "It seems that someone has already picked it up and when did you throw away the empty porcelain jar?"

Xiaocui: "Madam used up three bottles in one go, and the slaves threw them away during lunch."

Yan Mo thought to himself: I threw it away at lunch, and it reappeared in the middle of the night. The content of the balm has already been changed. Half a day is very tight. Besides, the murderer has to deal with the corpse. I am afraid the murderer is someone who lives nearby.
"Girl, girl," Xiao Cui said, "If this servant knew the value of the porcelain pot, she would definitely not throw it away. Madam, Madam, she will definitely punish this servant."

After staring at the other party for a while, Yan Mo said, "Let's go, Xiaocui, go back to the hall!"

Qi Ying was waiting in the hall, almost fainting, because the room was already filled with fragrance, and it seemed that there was no fresh air at all. He finally knew why the steward had been guarding the door. Following the steward's figure and looking into the courtyard, he Finally saw Yan Mo back
Madam Liu hurriedly asked, "How is it? Did you find it?"

Yan Mo grabbed his sleeve and said, "I found it, Madam, don't worry, the empty porcelain jars will be recycled, and I'll give you another discount of 15 taels, a total of 65 taels, and two big jars of incense!" As she spoke, she walked to the wooden box , pretending to fiddle with the small jar of incense in his sleeve, picked up the jade bottle, closed the box, then turned around and said, "Madam, please put it away."

Mrs. Liu: "Boss, withdraw the money!"

"Yes."

After the transaction was completed, Yan Mo and Qi Lin walked out of the Liu Mansion
Qi Ling: "Is there any result?"

Yan Mo: "The small pot of incense next to the girl's body last night was discarded by the Liu family, and the remaining two, I suspect are on the murderer's body."

"That is to say, whoever owns the small pot of incense and the empty bottle is the murderer!" Qi Ying affirmed!

Yan Mo turned around and said, "Mmm!"

Qilin: "But how to find the empty bottle?"

Yan Mo: "This is the problem we will solve next."

"It's up to you to think about the problem, Xiao Wang will accompany you today, it's a great way to save face!" Qi Ying said with a noble posture, "Where did you get those ointments?"

Yan Mo cast a childish look, and said, "Plucked from the twelve bottles of incense that were recycled."

"What?" Qi Ying yelled, then he looked around and lowered his voice, "You resell the spices used by others?! Unscrupulous merchants!!"

Yan Mo: "Don't worry, I asked Mr. Qi to cook it in a porcelain jar, and I also asked him to inspect it carefully. It is confirmed that it is non-toxic and harmless. It was put into a jade bottle after high-temperature sterilization."

"Mie Jun?" Qi Yan frowned and asked, "What is Mie Jun?"

"Sterilization is sterilization!" Yan Mo put on an expression that was too lazy to explain, and led the way.
"Hey, hey, this is the way to go back." Qi Ling pointed to the back and said.

Yan Mo: "I want to see which residents are around."

The two wandered around for a while, and found that Fangfu was just two or three street corners away.
Yan Mo: "It's Fangfu again. It seems that these clues are all related to Fangfu"

"Meow meow~"

"Huh?" Yan Mo and Qi Yan both looked up and found two or three figures hidden in the tall trees.
"Princess Wangfei." One of the figures lowered his voice, "Why are you here?"

"Ah~ So it's an official post!" Yan Mo said, took down the wooden box and handed it to Qi Ying, and flew up the tree while no one was looking!

One box is very heavy, and one more, Qilin had to put them in the shade of the tree, and then he glanced at the tree, and then he leaned on the trunk to rest
Among the green leaves, Yan Mo hid behind the tree trunk to cover his bright robe, and said to the officials: "What do you find?"

Official messenger: "So far, there has been no change in Fangfu, except for the housekeeper and servants who go out to purchase regularly. Don't worry, the princess, we will send people to follow."

Yan Mo: "Purchase? Where do you go to purchase?"

Official: "Chengdong Vegetable Market."

Yan Mo nodded and said, "Where are those ladies?"

The officer and his companions looked at each other for a while, and said helplessly, "Since they returned to Fangfu, the entire Fangfu has been their voices!"

Official No. [-]: "It's either crying for pain or crying for father and mother! Kill your ears!"

Yan Mo felt it: "Why is it so quiet now?"

Official No. [-]: "If you are tired, you should take a rest"

Yan Mo remembered that the wives of Fangfu had all eaten crotons, and it should be time for the medicine to exert its power.

"By the way, is there someone monitoring that Liu's residence?" Yan Mo asked, pointing in the direction of Liu's residence.

"We have deployed people to monitor the alley where the incident occurred." The officer replied.

Yan Mo: "When will you change the guard?"

Official messenger: "Dinner time."

"I know!" Yan Mo quickly jumped off the big tree after speaking, and said to Qi Lin, "Let's go."

Qi Ling: "Where are you going?"

Yan Mo: "Go home!"

It just so happened that Fang Liulang appeared at the gate at this time. His footsteps were flimsy and his eyes were darkened. When he saw that the officials guarding the gate had not yet withdrawn, he was a little angry and was about to close the gate. When he looked up, he found a familiar figure
"It's you." Fang Liulang, who lost his romantic aura, seemed to be possessed by a ghost, staring at Yan Mo, and said to himself, "How should I get your servant from Yi'an Palace. Hehe, there is always a way." He gave a wicked smile.
