with words in mind

Chapter 92 The tarantula poisoning case 6
Ji Shenwen hurriedly defended: "In the next Caomin, there is no intention to look down on others, and there is no intention of looking down on others. As King Yi'an said, I thought that what Suilan threw was a token, and I refused to accept it if I didn't want to accept it. It is actually poisonous and there is no falsehood!"

Yan Mo: "In other words, Sui Lan is here to kill you?! It's just that she misestimated your ability and put herself in!"

Ji Shenwen: "It should be so."

"No wonder. We will find a film bag in Sui Lan's room." Yan Mo thought, then asked, "Why didn't you justify yesterday in the prison?"

"They were arrested without saying a word, and they didn't dare to say anything at will." Ji Shenwen said obediently.

"Really?" Yan Mo raised an eyebrow, stared at Ji Shenwen and said, "You deliberately didn't make excuses in order to make mistakes and make things worse, right?"

Ji Shenwen hurriedly said: "Why did the princess say this?"

Yan Mo: "I'm not familiar with the situation in the DPRK, but after a few days of observation, generally speaking, everyone has the greatest opinion on the Prime Minister and King Yi'an, and it's difficult to deal with them everywhere. Now I know that Suilan is here to kill you. When you received the note, you jumped in knowing it was a trap, trying to draw out the mastermind behind the scenes!"

Ji Shenwen saw that the other party had exposed his own thoughts, and his temperament became more and more calm: "The princess is really unusual! Just as you said."

Yan Mo raised his chin and said, "Each each other! Young Master Ji opened my eyes. When I first saw you, you are innocent and harmless, but I didn't expect you to have deep scheming! It's really like gathering people and dividing them into groups!" She squinted disdainfully. Qi Ming glanced at him, while the other party just sipped his tea and lowered his eyebrows with a smile.

"Whoever wants to kill you, do you have a choice in mind?" Yan Mo retracted his gaze and asked Ji Shenwen.

Ji Shenwen: "Although my father is a prime minister, his powers have long been emptied, and he has only shown his face in the upper court. I don't know who hates my father so much that he wants to kill him to relieve his hatred."

"I didn't kill you to understand hatred, but to provoke the relationship between Xiang Sui and the royal father." Qi Ming put down the teacup gracefully and raised his head, "If you died, Xiang Su would definitely blame himself, if it wasn't for his presence. There is no support in the DPRK, how could you suffer this catastrophe, and you will inevitably feel resentment in your heart, and it is not difficult to imagine what will happen to each other at that time.

"Fortunately, I concealed my martial arts and did not let the other party succeed! Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable," Ji Shenwen said with his eyes down in thought.

"The source of the spider venom. It seems that the jade bracelet has to start with these two things to find the mastermind behind the scenes." Yan Mo sorted out his thoughts.
Ji Shenwen suddenly thought of something, and said urgently: "There is still a clue! I will remember the father-in-law who delivered the note yesterday!"

Yan Mo listened and looked at the prince.

"Leave this matter to this palace."

Lu Jiu and Qi Huwei stood outside the Xing'e Palace, finally waiting for Yan Mo and his party.

After leaving the palace gate, Yan Mo looked at the Xing'e Palace behind her, what she cared about was Lord Wu.

Qi Ming saw through her thoughts and said, "Don't worry, we will take Master Ji away, and Lord Wu will find him."

Yan Mo withdrew his gaze, raised his head and skipped it, deliberately opened the distance from Qi Ming across Ji Shenwen, followed behind the prince, and walked to the next place.

The prince led a group to the Jingshi room, and ordered to count the number of the father-in-law, and to manage the horse arrangement of the Grand Duke.

"There are 25 father-in-laws at the referral desk, please count them, Your Highness." The father-in-law in charge said as he handed over the register, and Lu Jiu and Qi Huwei helped to check the number and make marks.

Prince: "All look up, can you recognize this thing?"

The father-in-law lined up, looked up at Gao Shu one by one, showed their faces, and answered uniformly: "Kite."

The fathers-in-law at the transfer desk all took their turn, and Ji Shenwen, who was hiding in the room, identified them one by one. If it was, he would knock on the edge of the window twice, but the whole process was very quiet, and guard Qi had to cross out the name on the register.
"There are 30 people in the Imperial Garden, please count them, Your Highness."

"There are 32 people in the cleaning office, please count them, Your Highness."

"There are 60 people in the Antique Building, please count them, Your Highness."

"There are 26 people in Huafang Zhai, please count them, Your Highness."

More than an hour passed, and the father-in-law came in batches after batches. Ji Shenwen shook his head helplessly at Yan Mo, but he did not find the target person.

Yan Mo thought about it and said, "Could it be?" She was thinking of Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Feng who were detained.

The Crown Prince led everyone to the Shenxing Company again. As soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw the guards coming to report: "His Royal Highness, Eunuch Cui committed suicide in fear of sin."

Everyone was startled, Yan Mo hurried in, and the guards behind Qi quickly checked Eunuch Cui's body.

The guards also asked three questions, and said that Eunuch Cui died suddenly.

Eunuch Cui was lying on the haystack, his posture was very peaceful, there was no hidden medicine bottle on his body, no other wounds, only a mouth full of black blood, and it was difficult for him to find the residual traces of poison in one of his nostrils.
"It's dead already." Qi Huwei stood up and shook his head. "He wasn't injured. He should have been poisoned to death. He hid the poison pill in his nose to avoid the search."

Yan Mo stared at Eunuch Cui for a long time and felt that something was wrong. She asked Ji Shenwen to come to identify it.

"It's him." Ji Shenwen affirmed.

"Eunuch Cui doesn't seem easy. Mingming" Yan Mo hasn't finished speaking yet.
"The Grand Duke who can do the honorable room in the palace, how can he do without any skills." Qi Ming interrupted.

When Yan Mo saw this, she understood it, and in case the partition wall had ears, she stopped talking.

Afterwards, the prince took everyone to the transfer desk.
In the transfer desk, Jiang Yan was showing off the purse embroidered by his daughter, and several adults gathered around him to sort out the documents on the case.

"Oh, my youngest daughter is 17 years old and she is getting married. I won't be able to enjoy it for long as a father." Jiang Yan said with a sigh, "My daughter is married and the only thing left in the family is my life. Yeah," he wiped his tears
I can see the sympathy of the adults, the speechless silence, the teasing teasing
It was not until Yuan Shangshu entered the room and gave everyone a sharp look, the adults returned to their jobs one after another.
Yuan Shangshu came to Jiang Yan and said arrogantly: "Has the Oda Order of the Ministry of Household been prepared? This official is still waiting for His Majesty's instructions!"

Jiang Yan carefully put away his purse, stood up and handed over the documents respectfully: "It's already drawn up, Sir Yuan."

Yuan Shangshu arrogantly took over the next document and looked at the contents, and said, "Mr. Jiang, the rules for vending fields here cannot be lenient by population, but by household. Too frequent farmland trading is not conducive to the stability of the community."

Jiang Yan: "If it is based on households, there is no quantitative basis for the amount of land to be bought and sold, which will give unscrupulous officials an opportunity to enrich their own pockets, and the common people will be vulnerable to persecution."

Yuan Shangshu: "Humph! What does Mr. Jiang mean by this?! Are all the officials under the sage's rule a waste of selfishness? Do you know how much copywriting work will be added to local officials based on the population?"

"At most one trip, this is His Majesty's expectation. If people want to buy or sell property, they only need to go to the relevant department to report their needs, register and confirm the amount of money, and then they can make a deal. To this end, the lower official also edited a new work procedure. , it can greatly reduce the cumbersome procedures, and it can also be convenient for the people, please adults take a look." Jiang Yan said and put a book on the ground.

Yuan Shangshu looked at it, frowned, and vetoed: "This system is useless, just confirming the identity of the buyer and seller is a hidden danger!" Seeing that the other party wanted to refute, he said without doubt, "Mr. Jiang, no need to say more. , This Oda Order can be changed to a household-by-household grace Vendian!"

At this time, the prince led a group of people across the threshold, the sun was rising outside, and the adults in the house had to narrow their eyes.

"See His Royal Highness."

"See His Royal Highness King Yi'an."

"See Princess Yi'an."

Prince: "All get up."

At this time, the Prime Minister hurried over and saw Ji Shenwen lowered his brows and pleasing his eyes, and hurriedly saluted: "See His Royal Highness Prince, see King Yi'an, see Wang Concubine Empress."

Prince: "Auxiliary adults don't need gifts."

At this time, another big man came in a hurry, it was Wu Zhao, the minister of punishment.

"Haha." Wu Zhao breathed heavily, "His Royal Highness. Wei Chen has been looking for you for a long time. Hurry up and turn the entire palace back. Wei. Wei Chen see His Royal Highness Prince, see. King Yi'an and Princess"

The prince lifted Wu Zhaozuo's yawning hand and said with a smile: "Master Wu has worked hard, and this palace has been waiting for you for a long time." Seeing that all the staff were present, the prince took out the jade bracelet and asked, "Does anyone recognize this thing? Someone was there yesterday. Drop it here."

There was a burst of murmurs in the large crowd, most of them were
"Who was so careless and dropped something?"

"Don't know that."

"Why does it look like it's a woman's thing?"

Jiang Yan looked at the jade bracelet, thinking of yesterday's scene, guessing that it was the jade bracelet on Sui Lan's body, so he didn't say much.
Unexpectedly, after everyone muttered for a while, they all looked at Jiang Yan. As a strict wife control and daughter control, he is of course the most likely.

"Is it your wife's?"

"Or your daughter's?"

"Oh! Not at all! My daughter doesn't like jade, she likes crystal. My wife loves gold, saying that gold is more flattering to the skin tone, and jade is too picky!" Jiang Yan quickly defended!

When the prime minister saw the jade bracelet, he frowned, and he seemed to have thought of something.
Yan Mo noticed the Prime Minister's abnormality, she didn't dare to stare at him for too long, so she turned to observe the others.
Wu Zhao: "Huh? Isn't this evidence on Sui Lan's body?"

"Suilan? Is that the dead palace maid?"

"Ouch, sin sin"

The prince asked Wu Zhao, "Master Wu, are you sure this is the jade bracelet on Sui Lan's body?"

Wu Zhao took the jade bracelet and checked it out: "The color, texture, texture and size are very similar to the Sui Lan."

Prince: "Master Wu, Sui Lan's jade bracelet is still in the evidence cabinet of the Ministry of Punishment. If you don't believe me, you can go and have a look. This jade bracelet was indeed discovered by this palace yesterday. No one of the adults present recognized it. ?"

A group of adults shook their heads one after another, looking puzzled
Yuan Shangshu stared at the jade bracelet for a while, and stood there with peace of mind.
The prince looked at Yan Mo and saw that she shook his head slightly, so the prince had to put away the jade bracelet and said, "In this case, this thing should be kept by this palace first."

After seeing Yan Mo and the prince's eye contact, Yuan Shangshu stepped forward and said, "I heard that Princess Yi'an is very smart, and His Majesty's order is to solve the case within three days. I don't know how this palace maid's case has progressed? Once today is over, Princess Yi'an can It's overdue!"

"." Yan Mo looked at Yuan Shangshu and frowned, she didn't want to give up, but time was running out.
Seeing that the other party did not speak, Yuan Shangshu said proudly: "Although he borrowed the power of the princess, but he failed to complete His Majesty's task, I am afraid that punishment is inevitable." The last four words were spoken in a long tone.
"Master Yuan's words are too bad. The murderer of Xiaolu's case was caught yesterday, and the princess' mission has already been completed."

Yan Mo looked at Qi Ming in surprise, what about Ji Shenwen?
"Concubine Ai, don't be nervous." Qi Ming looked back at Yan Mo with a smile, took her shoulders and said, "Master Yuan is also worried about you and me. Since this is over, why don't we go back to the palace as soon as possible." His tone became tactful and ambiguous.
Thinking of what happened last night, Yan Mo made a face: You dare to go on and try!

"Ha!" Qi Ming chuckled, causing the adults to avoid their gazes, the light of young people's love is too dazzling!

Yan Mo patted off Qi Ming's shoulders, took a big step forward, opened up the distance, released his aura, stood with his hands behind his back, and don't get close to anyone!

"Concubine Ai is shy." The curvature of Qi Ming's mouth was very beautiful, and he smiled brightly.

The prince was restraining himself just now. He loosened his fists after clenching each other and said to Yan Mo, "I will follow this palace to Qinzheng Hall to report this matter to the emperor."

"Yes, His Royal Highness." Yan Mo said respectfully.

Yuan Shangshu: "In that case, Lord Wu, take Young Master Ji into custody!"

After Yan Mo heard this, she stared at Yuan Shangshu, she suddenly understood something.

"Slow!" The prince stretched out his hand to stop Wu Zhao, "Ji Gongzi is temporarily under the care of this palace."

Yuan Shangshu: "His Royal Highness, is it so insecure? He is a suspect!"

The prince smiled and said, "Then let Master Wu take it to Xing'e Palace?"

"Uh" Wu Zhao remembered Wu Guifei's embarrassment, he looked at Yuan Shangshu and was in a dilemma.
Qi Ming coughed twice at the right time
Wu Zhao recalled what Princess Yi'an had agreed to put Ji Shenwen in the Xing'e Palace yesterday in the Heavenly Prison. Qi Ming avoided the crowd, deliberately slowed down, and said to himself, "If the emperor really wants to target and help each other, the great master will help him. But the immediate dismissal is not without precedent in the previous dynasty, why didn't the father and emperor do this? Wu Shangshu can think about it."

"." Wu Zhao ducked his eyes and said, "The East Palace is heavily guarded, more than enough to hold a prisoner."

The prince smiled and said, "That's it!"

Yuan Shangshu was so angry that he glared at Wu Zhao!
The prince gave a wink to the palace people who followed him, and they escorted Ji Shenwen to the East Palace. When Ji Shenwen passed the prime minister, he showed a gentle smile, signaling his father not to worry too much. The prime minister watched him disappear within sight.
"Let's go." The prince led Yan Mo and his party out of the transfer desk and went to the Hall of Qinzheng.

Yuan Shangshu looked at Yan Mo who was far away and said softly to himself, "The rivers and lakes are wild!"

After reporting the whole story to the emperor, the prince sent Yan Mo and Qi Ming to the palace gate as usual.
Outside the palace gate, the prince gestured with one hand to the palace people who were following to stand still, and then walked out with Yan Mo Xingxing several dozen feet away to ensure that the palace people could not hear their conversation.

Yan Mo asked softly, "His Royal Highness, why did you take out a similar jade bracelet from the tribute to deceive the adults?"

"Bengong suspects that someone has deducted the tribute privately. I don't know how. The jade bracelet that was deducted privately has no evidence to prove it. Come here because the palace is not good at learning.”

"Haha." Yan Mo wanted to form an embarrassed eyebrow, "I am also lucky to be able to set a standard one by one. Your Highness does not need to be discouraged. Your trap today is not for nothing!"

Prince: "Huh?"

Yan Mo: "Even Lord Wu thought this jade bracelet was the one of Suilan, so it can be seen that they are indeed similar, and I see that Lord Prime Minister seems to recognize this thing, and I would trouble His Royal Highness to arrange it. I want to have a chat with Lord Prime Minister alone. ."

The prince was about to agree, but Qi Ming said before him, "You don't need to trouble the emperor for this matter, this king will take you there."

Prince: "It's okay, this palace"

Qi Ming restrained his smile and bowed: "I have a good relationship with the prime minister, and everyone has heard that today, the emperor's brother is leading us to investigate around the palace for the sake of Young Master Ji, which will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the ministers. It's better to stop." He knelt down on one knee as he spoke, as if he was being reprimanded by the prince.

Lu Jiu pulled down the guards and knelt down together.

The guards of the city gate and the palace people couldn't hear the conversation of the masters because of the distance, but they could see the situation and glanced sideways.
Yan Mo also prepared to cooperate with Qi Ming's gesture to kneel, but was stopped by the prince's gesture.
Prince: "Forget it. Ben Gong knows your painstaking efforts, so let's get up."

Qi Ming frowned slightly, stood up and said, "Brother Xie Huang."

The prince lowered his eyes and sighed: "Let's say goodbye today, and I don't know when we will see you next time."

Yan Mo: "Prince don't need to be sentimental. The case is not over yet, and Lord Fox has to save his son Ji! I believe we will see you soon!"

Hearing this, the prince showed a relieved smile.
"Can you lend me this jade bracelet to observe for a few days?" Yan Mo asked, staring at the jade bracelet.

"It's okay, just take it." The prince handed the jade bracelet.

"The sun is shining outside, please come back, Brother Huang." Qi Ming bowed respectfully.

The prince looked at Yan Mo, nodded slightly in agreement, and turned back to the palace gate.
Yan Mo and Qi Ming got into the carriage, and Lu Jiu and Qi escort drove the carriage to the palace
"Did you know that Ji Shenwen knows martial arts?!" Yan Mo sat in the carriage, keeping his distance from Qi Ming and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Ji Gongzi?!"

Qi Ming smiled lightly and said, "Concubine Ai is so much like questioning a husband who provokes trouble."

Yan Mo: "Don't interrupt! Reply-answer-me!"

Qi Ming: "Ji Gongzi is the only son who complements each other. Six years ago, the father began to deliberately weaken the powers of the prime minister. This king suggested that Ji Gongzi practice martial arts to protect himself."

Yan Mo: "You just believe that he is innocent?"

Qi Ming: "It doesn't matter if I believe it or not. Yan'er can just let go of the investigation. No matter what the result is, I'll be on your side."

Yan Mo looked at Qi Ming suspiciously for a while, and said, "What should I do next? If there is no reason, why don't you go into the palace to investigate?"

"Don't worry, I have already arranged for people to investigate the dark market transaction of tarantula." Qi Ming looked at himself seriously, and then said, "I will tell you as soon as there is news."

"That's right, even if you want to breed poisonous spiders in the palace, you have to buy them from outside the palace." Yan Mo pondered, "It may be more efficient to investigate the dark market, but one of the people present today is very suspicious!"

Qi Ming: "?"

Yan Mo: "This Master Yuan seems to have been against you all the time. When he was embarrassing me just now, you said that Xiaolu's case had been closed, and he asked Master Wu to escort Ji Gongzi, indicating that he had known Suilan for a long time. His death has nothing to do with Xiaolu's case!"

Qi Ming smiled and said, "Do you remember Lu Weifa?"

Hearing this name, Yan Mo's heart tensed, how could she forget that it was the first mission she performed, and the first time she used the moment to kill someone.
Yan Mo said stiffly, "Remember."

Qi Ming: "He is Yuan Shangshu's disciple."

"It turned out to be him!" Yan Mo recalled, "Not only that, but I also found that Lord Wu may have little to do with this matter."

Qi Ming raised his eyes and stared at Yan Mo: "Looks like you have eyes, what do you say?"

Yan Mo: "When Brother Jin took out the fake jade bracelet, Master Wu was not nervous, and even believed that it was Suilan's jade bracelet. If there is a ghost in his heart, he should wait and see what happens, just like Master Jiang!"

"Haha." Qi Ming smiled, "Sir Jiang can't wait to get rid of the relationship, after all, everyone took him as an imaginary prisoner yesterday."

"So I infer that Master Wu is just pushing the boat, and the most suspicious person is this Master Yuan!" Yan Mo put a finger to the tip of his nose and thought, "And... Eunuch Cui's death. When I tested him with Acacia, he was obviously very Afraid, why did you commit suicide in fear of sin in just one day?"

Qi Ming also pondered: "The methods of the Department of Penalties have always been cruel and inhumane. If you are afraid of being punished and commit suicide, it is unreasonable, and Eunuch Cui has already confessed his guilt."

Yan Mo: "And there are no scars on his body, indicating that he was not tortured, so why did he seek death? Who was instructing him to send a note to Ji Gongzi?"
