Chapter 95 The tarantula poisoning case 9
In the guest room of Yuan Mansion's west courtyard, three swordsmen were resting, and four or five maids took eggs to relieve their swelling.
Yuan Xiao: "Can you tell the opponent's martial arts skills?"

The tall swordsman: "Reporting to the adults, no. However, I can judge from the following that the thief is a man and a woman, and the two have great internal strength, and they are definitely not ordinary people!"

Yuan Xiao: "Hmph, it seems that he is undoubtedly!"

Tall Swordsman: "Your lord means."

The smile at the corner of Yuan Xiao's mouth did not reach the corner of his eyes: "King Yi'an's hands and eyes are open to the sky, and it is not surprising that he will know the plan of this official."

The tall swordsman: "Sir, since you already know the identity of the other party, what are your instructions?"

"Don't worry, this official has already made arrangements for this, you all have a good rest." Yuan Xiao squinted at Swordsman No. [-], who was holding an ice pack, frowning in disgust.
The two maids drooped their blushing faces and massaged the bruises on Swordsman No. [-]'s face and arms with eggs.
Yuan Xiao shook his head and said to the housekeeper behind him, "I'll leave it to you."

"Yes, sir."

On the other side of the capital, on a fence, two heads stick out, and the shadows of the trees are high, obscuring their figures.

Yan Mo found out the situation in the courtyard through Ye Qun's gap: "Who's house is this time?"

"Guess." Qi Ming uttered a sentence, and swept forward generously. Xian Yanmo entered the mansion one step at a time, and drew out the soft sword from his waist. It reflected the moonlight and made silver blocks flicker. The lines ooze out and hide, and the decorations in the garden such as flowers, plants and fences are damaged!
Yan Mo looked at Qi Ming's useful weapon, and said with interest, "You still have such a good thing hidden? Why didn't you take it out in Yuan Mansion just now?"

Qi Ming looked back and chuckled: "As far as you are concerned, defeating them is easy, such as Zhengao, why should I show my weapons."

Yan Mo raised his jaw and said, "So, the owner of this house is not easy, and he needs you to show his soft sword?"

"Haha~" Qi Ming lowered his head and laughed to himself, and continued to destroy the furnishings in the mansion!

Yan Mo: "Fox, what are you doing? This will only cause trouble!"

"Just come with me." Qi Ming said with a smile, falling down softly.

Seeing that there was no sound at all, Yan Mo frowned, put his hands around his chest, and followed Qi Ming unhappily.

A few dense and straight bamboo groups in front blocked the brightly lit window, making the figure inside the window slightly rickety.
Qi Ming quickly sprang out from the corner of a house!One palm after another knocked out the guard Fu Ding, and led Yan Mo to the study where the candles were flickering.

A gust of gloomy wind blew, and the study lost its warmth. The slightly hunched figure stood up and was about to close the window. Suddenly, he felt a cold breath!

Two cold and chilling figures broke through the door!A silver light swirled and disappeared in the darkness. The tall and slender silhouette was followed by an equally stern and serious figure. The two of them walked steadily and slowly approached the rickety old man who was clearly silhouetted by the light in front of the window sill.
"Come to take the life of this old man?" Although Ji Yun wanted to hide from people, she didn't move her legs, took a deep breath and said, "I know that one day, you will do it, I have nothing else to ask for. , I just ask you to spare my son!"

"Sir Mutual Help?" Yan Mo heard the voice, put away his momentum, pulled down the mask, and said in surprise.

In the study, a bit of warmth was restored in an instant. The Prime Minister Ji slid his hand tightly on the window edge, looked at the person who came, and said discouraged: "Haha. Ah. Princess Yi'an? That one?"

"Helping each other to stay well, Lord." Qi Ming pulled down his mask and smiled.

"You scared the old man to death." Ji Yun used the edge of the window to prop herself up and moved her limp legs. Qi Ming stepped forward to support her, and Ji Yun slowly sat back in the chair, "Just now, the old man is still thinking about how to give Your Majesty sends a letter"

"Sir, don't light the lamp." Seeing that Ji Yun was about to light the lamp again, Qi Ming stopped him, "Everything today is because of the theft in the Prime Minister's mansion, please don't hesitate to take out a few valuables."

Ji Yun was stunned. After she realized it, she turned around and found a few valuables and a stack of silver notes on the bookshelf behind her, and offered them with both hands!

Qi Ming didn't take it immediately, he turned to Yan Mo and joked, "Please also ask the boss to take a look."

Yan Mo took the objects with both hands, gave Qi Ming a blank look, and said to Ji Yun, "Don't worry, my lord, I will send these things back in a while."

"It's okay, wangfei, these are just external things, the old man doesn't care much." Ji Yun smiled, "Before, the wangfei was running around for my son, and the old man didn't have time to say thank you."

"Ji Dasheng has become a good son. Not only is he outstanding in appearance, but his mind is also deep and meticulous. He will definitely survive this disaster. Besides, I didn't help much," Yan Mo said embarrassedly, "He is still locked up. in the palace."

"If it weren't for the wit of the princess, my son would have endured hardship in prison." Ji Yun cupped her hands and said, "I thank the princess here!"

"Sir! It's not necessary!" Yan Mo stopped him.

Ji Yun saw the picture scroll on Yan Mo's back and asked with concern, "What's behind the princess?"

Yan Mo gave a bright smile: "From Yuan Shang Shu Jia Shun!"

When Ji Yun heard this, she blinked her eyes and forced out an aunt-like smile: "Princess is really good!"

While Yan Mo and Ji Yun were talking, Qi Ming had already walked out of the study, dragged in two courtiers, and when they put them down, he happened to hear the prime minister praise Yan Mo.

"Hahaha~" Qi Ming chuckled softly, full of pride for his daughter-in-law, and said to Ji Yun, "Mr. Supplement, these two are Yuan Shangshu's eyeliner, you can write it down, removing it directly will cause Yuan Shangshu's eyeliner. The attention of Shang Shu, keep it and be careful, and it can also be used against others when necessary."

"Yes! The old minister thanked the lord." Ji Yun stood up and came to Qi Ming, bowing respectfully.

Yan Mo remembered Prime Minister Bai Ri's expression when he saw the jade bracelet, and he stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Auxiliary, at the transfer desk, when you saw the jade bracelet, you seem to know it?"

Ji Yun reacted and said, "The old man was just about to talk about this, but the princess was referring to the green and white bean seed jade bracelet?"

Yan Mo: "That's right."

Ji Yun bypassed the two of them, found a booklet in the bookcase by moonlight, and handed it respectfully: "Li Zhan, a member of the Ministry of Rites, privately deducts tributes all the year round and manipulates the ledger. This is evidence of a crime. Although this old man has no real power The power of inspection and supervision is still there, and now the old man's position in the court is at stake, if it is not a matter of harm to the people, I will hide it first, and report it when necessary, for the sake of stability."

Yan Mo took a look at the booklet and handed it to Qi Ming.

Qi Ming took the booklet and returned it to the prime minister without even looking at it, and asked, "There is no light, please help me to explain to the princess."

"Yes." Ji Yun explained to Yan Mo, "This kind of jade is quite rare among the people. Although it is of high quality in the palace, it is not of the highest quality. Your Majesty is benevolent. He also opened his eyes when such things were trivial. Close your eyes. Two years ago, when Mr. Li was counting the tribute, the old man happened to see it. I avoided looking at it from a distance. I only saw a white and green jade. I don't know where it goes out, so I don't dare to say it rashly."

Yan Mo: "This Master Li might go to the transfer desk?"

Ji Yun: "If the documents are delivered, he can get in."

Yan Mo: "Then does he know that Lord Auxiliary has such evidence?"

Ji Yun: "As far as the old man knows, he shouldn't know."

Yan Mo: "Do you know what tarantulas are?"

Ji Yun: "I only know that it is a poisonous spider, and I don't know about the others."

Yan Mo: "Suilan's jade bracelet was stained with the venom of this kind of spider. She originally wanted to use this poison to kill Linglang, but fortunately, Ji Gongzi knew martial arts and avoided him."

"Ah! That's how it is!" Ji Yun clung to her skinny hands and worried, "These goddamn scumbags! How dare you do it like this!!"

Yan Mo: "Master Mutual Support, can Master Li and Yuan Shangshu have any intersection?"

Ji Yun calmed down and thought about it. After a while, she replied, "I remembered it! Master Li once recommended himself to Yuan Shangshu, and hoped that he could be transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Households."

"Transfer?" Yan Mo pondered, "Isn't he enough to get the tribute? Why should he be transferred?"

Ji Yun: "The Ministry of Rites is the least oily among the six departments. There are not many items that Mr. Li can detain privately. Otherwise, it will be difficult to balance the book, and the officialdom will need to use various mediation. I think those tributes also went into other people's pockets."

Yan Mo doesn't know the officialdom very well, so he wondered, "Does the Ministry of households have a lot of oil and water?"

Qi Ming listened with a chuckle and said, "The Ministry of Households manages finances and taxes, and it is very involved with local officials.

Yan Mo: "It seems that these two have a very close relationship!"

"What the princess means is that Yuan Shangshu and Lord Li conspired about my son's affairs?" Ji Yun said nervously, "Isn't this a thief calling to catch a thief?!"

Yan Mo: "It seems very likely! Sir, don't worry, since Young Master Ji is in the East Palace, the Crown Prince will definitely keep him safe. I will find evidence as soon as possible and return Young Master Ji to his innocence!"

"Princess Lao!" Ji Yunyu knelt down and thanked her!

Yan Mo supported him and said, "Sir!"

"Ji Gongzi, the king and the princess will definitely rescue each other, so don't worry about helping each other." After Qi Ming's face became serious, he said slightly embarrassedly, "This king has destroyed the flowers and plants in the courtyard, don't be in a hurry to repair it, you must be true when you are acting. We won't stay any longer!" As he said that, he pulled Yan Mo and went to the window, ready to leave!
"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Yi'an." Ji Yun said respectfully to the void, "Respectfully send off the prince and princess."

The starry night murmurs and retreats, the morning dew grows slightly, and the night sky of the capital begins to appear fish-mammed white
In the Yi'an Prince's Mansion, there was movement in the main house of Yanming Courtyard, Yan Mo stepped out of the door of the bed, followed by Qi Ming.

Yan Mo put down the scroll, moved his shoulders and neck, unfolded half of the scroll and placed it on the desk, and looked at it in the early morning light: "I want to see, what mystery is hidden in it?"

"Famous items are not for everyone, so it's a good place to hide things or information." Qi Ming glanced at the picture scroll and turned to the wardrobe.
When Yan Mo heard this, he turned around and was about to chase Qi Ming out, but when he turned around, he saw Qi Ming taking off his coat! !Show your underwear! !
He found a long robe from the closet with ease and put it on himself.

"Fox! You have to change your clothes! Also! When did you put your clothes in my closet?" Yan Mo said furiously.

"Oh, concubine, don't worry~" Qi Ming chuckled softly, "Are you yelling like this for fear that others won't know that this king is in your house?"

Yan Mo walked to the wardrobe in three steps and two steps, looked at Qi Ming, and found that the waistline of the robe was slightly higher, and then looked at the hem of the clothes, and it was also short, revealing black trousers.

Yan Mo: "Is this my dress?"

"This is a unisex model designed by this king." Qi Ming used his figure to cover Yan Mo, and the corners of his mouth slanted, he must establish a wolf-like nature to be looked down upon.

Yan Mo, who sensed the other party's intentions, pursed his lips, his eyes widened, and he punched Qi Ming's sturdy chest with a backhand: "Get out of the way! Don't get in the way! Wear it if you like!" .

Qi Ming staggered for half a step, covered the place where he was beaten, and said with a smile, "Thank Ai Fei for sharing~" As he said, he handsomely lifted the collar that had not been closed, and the silver tail ring gleamed under his movements. Enhance his masculinity!
"Humph! Amorous and pure man!" Yan Mo stopped, looked back with a wicked smile, and said ruthlessly, "Boys and women! Women's clothing!!"

"Uh" Qi Ming's charming smile froze, and his face darkened instantly, wolf. Diluted wolf. gone wolf.
Because Yan Mo got up at this hour to practice, so Zhu Shui got up early and went outside to wait for his princess. Hearing a sound from the back room, he knocked on the door and asked, "Is my sister awake?"

Who knows, as soon as the door is opened, it is his own prince who is thrown out!
Yan Mo slammed his palm out!Qi Ming ducked his head sideways, and took advantage of the situation to circle around Yan Mo's hand, avoiding the opponent's attack! !
Another palm brushed across Qi Ming's chest!Qi Ming rolled his eyes and raised the corner of his mouth!Point it out quickly! !Click on Zhong Yanmo's waist! !
"Ha!" A lovely staccato came out of Yan Mo's throat! !

"Wait for the princess to wash up!" Qi Ming curled the corners of his mouth and turned away proudly after speaking to Zhu Shui!

"Stinky Fox!!!!!!"

In the morning, the golden crow was still bright red. Everyone got up one after another, and after breakfast, they gathered in the study of Yanmingyuan.Yan Mo brought the picture scroll for Qi Yun to take a good look at, while Bo Lan and Zhu Shui stood by and served.

Qi Ming took a corner by himself, sat down, put on a small smile, and looked at Yan Mo from a distance.

Yan Mo pretended that he didn't exist, Wuzi and Qi Yun carefully studied the scroll, Hanzi helped to rub the pattern of the golden thread.

"What did you find?" Yan Mo asked Hanzi.

The idiot turned the pattern up and down, and zoomed out a few more pictures, but he didn't see the reason!
"I think it should be a word!" Yan Mo said while picking up the large and small drawings.

"Sister, you also know that I don't read much, and I don't even recognize the words that are difficult to write." Hanzi wondered, thinking about it, and said, "Why don't you ask the prince?"

"I'll leave this to you!" Yan indifferently said!

The idiot shrank his head and did not dare to defy it. He held the blueprint on his waist and quietly went to Qi Ming's side to ask.

Qi Ming's movements were elegant, his long sleeves swayed, and he looked at the next few drawings carefully.

Qi Yun opened an exquisite layered wooden box, took out a glass mirror, and looked at the scroll
Qi Yun: "Well, this kind of cyan is extremely difficult to extract. As far as the subordinates know, the horse blue in Mingzhou is the best raw material for extracting indigo, and then the cyan is further extracted from the indigo, and the color is bright, and then mixed with a certain amount of mineral powder. , to form such brilliant colors.”

Yan Mo: "The pigments on the market are frequently traded, so it can't explain anything."

Qi Yun: "Hey, don't worry about the master, I remember that this paint was requisitioned by the royal family five years ago, and it is not available to the public. Is this painting made by a court painter?"

"It's not." Qi Ming got up and came to the scroll and said, "The palace painters are recognized by the king, and their brushwork and style are not difficult to distinguish."

"That's the outflow of paint from the palace!" Qi Yun concluded.

"That Mr. Li?" Yan Mo asked Qi Ming.

"It's very possible." Qi Ming affirmed, "The tribute and painting boat supplies are all stored in Qianlincang. It seems that Master Li gave Yuan Shangshu a lot of gifts."

"Hey!" Qi Yun shouted, "Look what I found!" He took out tweezers from the box, picked up a trace of white wool caught by the gold thread on the scroll, and said, "Look at the master, it's spider silk. !"

Everyone gathered, the glazed mirror transformed their faces into shape, and the spider silk floated on the scroll like a living thing
"Really spider silk?" Yan Mo asked.

"It is definitely spider silk. Spider silks come and go in different shapes and directions. Unlike silkworms, they can only spit out one type of silk." Qi Yun affirmed, "The question now is, how to determine that this is the spider of a tarantula. What about silk?"

Yan Mo: "Just prove that it is poisonous."

Qi Yun: "Then you can only test the poison!"

Yan Mo thought seriously and said, "Acid-alkaline. Animal poison. Alkaloid."

The bizarre quotations from the big master are back!Qi Yun sneered in his heart and asked, "Big head, what is that?"

"Huh? I don't know either." Yan Mo looked confused. Although she seemed to understand what she said, she didn't know how to explain it to others, "Check the drug!"

On Jingcheng Avenue, the vendors had just set up their stalls and received a few waves of guests before the rumors began!In the market, good news and bad news spread quickly, which is a gossip topic that people talk about.
"Have you heard? Yesterday, both the prime minister's mansion and Yuan Shangshu's mansion were robbed!"

"What? Who is so daring to provoke court officials?!"

"More than that! I also heard that the prime minister's son is molesting the maids in the palace!"

"Hey! It's not! It was said that the prime minister's son hooked up with that King Yi'an! Long Yangzhi's good two were love at first sight!"

"Then the princess doesn't want to explode on the spot! The man you have worked so hard for actually likes men!!"

"Who said no!"

"Do you think it is possible that the prime minister's house is the wealth of the princess' robbery?"

"Dignified princess! Don't you stop?!"

"She was born in the rough, what's impossible? A savage man is scary, but if a savage girl is jealous, that's a disaster!!"

"Then what happened to the scholar Yuan Shang?"

"To cover up! The robbery is too conspicuous, so let's rob his two!!"

"I really didn't expect that such a beautiful His Royal Highness Prince Yi'an would actually feel bad for the Slave Family!"

"In this world, even men are going to snatch men from our women! Hey, I don't have a good-looking face, even men are inferior! Boss, let's have another bowl of soy milk!"

"Girl, you already drank three bowls of soy milk, do you want more?"

"What do you know? Soy milk is beautiful, drink more, maybe I will become a beauty someday~"

"Come on~ girl, be careful of your mouth! If you become beautiful one day, you must come to our stall often! I, whenever a girl passes by, I will point to you and say, drink my soy milk, and keep it safe. You are beautiful—"

"Hehehe~ The store is really good at doing business~ Then let's have another bowl to help the little girl hang out!"

"Okay~"

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, in the East Palace of the Imperial City, flowers are falling on the branches, and under the circular wooden window, the prince and Ji Gongzi are playing chess.

Ji Shenwen: "Your Highness is distracted? Is there something on your mind?"

"Bengong really hasn't played chess for a long time." The prince recalled something, and his voice was a little vague.
"Caomin heard that His Highness loves chess games, and he has been thinking that if there is a chance, he must have a good discussion with His Highness." Ji Shenwen said with a warm expression on his face.

"That's the past." The prince made a random move, and then his thoughts drifted away, "I wonder how the second emperor's younger brother is investigating? Will he come to the palace today?"

Outside the carved edge painting door, Lan Xue and Bai Xue brought refreshments and breakfast to enter, and they bowed their knees slightly before they approached the prince.

"This is the Longjing Crisp, as well as the market snacks, fried dough sticks and soy milk, all of which His Highness likes to eat. His Highness must eat all of them today." Lan Xue "ordered" the Prince with the appearance of a little adult.

"Okay, I will listen to you in everything." The prince picked up the soy milk and said, "You are almost the same as the Hu mama next to the queen mother, and you always like to talk about it."

"Pfft——" Lan Xue suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood! !The blood foam instantly stained the prince's face! !
"Lan Xue!!!" Qi Jin exclaimed!
