Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 83 Discovery
Shen Lingze took a closer look at the yard when he heard the words, and couldn't help but feel moved.

Seeing him like this, Su Jingning smiled and said, "It seems that the son has already discovered something."

Shen Lingze nodded and smiled lightly: "I got something."

On the other hand, Xiaochi was still at a loss, and he glanced at the yard several times, but he didn't see any problem.

Why does he look similar to other people's yards!

Shen Lingze said, "Miss Su might as well tell you about her discovery first."

Su Jingning didn't refuse, and said directly: "There are some problems with the clothes hanging in the yard."

She explained: "You can see that the coats on the top are made of rough cloth, and they look very worn, and you can even see the patches.

But the inner coat next to it is made of high-quality white silk, which looks almost new.

It stands to reason that if you can afford such a fine white silk, how can you wear patched coarse cloth clothes? It looks more like a deliberate disguise to me. "

What she hasn't said yet is that the apron hanging to dry next to it is also made of high-quality materials, and the patterns embroidered on it are newly popular among young ladies and wives of aristocratic families.

But the people living in the small courtyard here are not very wealthy. She doesn't believe that the people living here can catch up with the trend so much.

Shen Lingze listened to her words, looked carefully again, and sighed with a smile: "Miss Su is really meticulous, I didn't notice this."

He shared his findings: "I see that the cart is very new, and the wheels and handles are almost free from wear and tear, unlike the ones used by poor people."

Su Jingning really looked like this.

Shen Lingze was already instructing Xiaochi at this time: "Send someone to check the people in that courtyard."

Xiaochi responded immediately, and went out frustrated.

He has been monitoring here for a month, but his master and this Miss Su have not found anything tricky, it is simply too incompetent.

Xiaochi had already gone out to make arrangements, so Su Jingning closed the window.

The other party has been staying in the room, who knows if he is observing in secret, it is better to be careful not to be discovered.

The two sat together drinking tea and waiting patiently.

After a while, Koike came back.

"Master, the tenants over there are a couple who have lived here for a year. They are rare long-term tenants. I heard that the men usually do odd jobs everywhere, and the women work in a wealthy business named Yang. help out with some chores."

That's wrong, since the two of them work in other people's homes, they certainly won't be rich enough to afford good silk cloth.

Su Jingning said: "Since they have a problem, they are probably the accomplices of these three Tatars."

Shen Lingze answered, "Perhaps he also shouldered the responsibility of monitoring."

Su Jingning also nodded.

Someone should have reached a cooperation with the Tatars, so people were sent to give orders to the three Tatars to cooperate with them, and at the same time, they played a monitoring role to prevent the Tatars from coming.

"Since this is the case, you may be able to find something by following this clue."

Shen Lingze nodded and said, "Check that rich businessman."

Xiaochi replied: "It has been checked by someone."

He still didn't understand: "Then how did the couple communicate with the three Tatars?"

Shen Lingze glanced at him, then shook his head and explained: "They seem to be separated by a courtyard, but I guess the room inside has been opened." So no matter how they met and discussed inside, they couldn't see it from the outside. Something unusual.

Xiaochi suddenly realized.

This man is too treacherous!

Who would have thought that they could pass the news like this!
No, his master and Miss Su thought of it.

Xiaochi became proud again, no matter how cunning he was, he couldn't escape their grasp!
Su Jingning added from the side: "It is estimated that there is also a problem with the courtyard in the middle. In order to prevent outsiders from suddenly living in and discovering the tricks in it, the other party must also take control of this courtyard. You can check it carefully."

She told Xiaochi in detail: "If you haven't rented it out, you can check with the landlord. If it is rented out, it will be even better. If you spend money to rent it but can't live in it, there is definitely a problem."

Xiaochi nodded repeatedly.

Shen Lingze smiled as he watched from the side, once again lamenting how much more convenient it is to have a smart person to work with.

A little talk can make sense, and can help to give ideas, and even think of things that I have neglected, and I don’t feel tired when talking about important things, but much more relaxed.

After speaking, Koike asked for instructions and went out to work.

Shen Lingze looked at the time and it was already noon, and he couldn't help but said, "Why don't you go back after eating, anyway, this is a restaurant, so it's convenient to eat."

Su Jingning was about to get up, and then sat back after hearing this, and agreed after a little thought.

Anyway, it's the same wherever you eat, and it might be more troublesome to go back to the Taoist temple.

Shen Lingze asked her about her taste.

Su Jingning doesn't have a particular preference for food, she just says it's casual.

Shen Lingze pondered for a while and ordered some dishes.

"This restaurant belongs to my aunt, and the taste is not bad."

Su Jingning understood, no wonder she chose to monitor the small courtyard here, it was indeed cheap and safe.

Soon, the dishes will be ready.

Su Jingning couldn't help showing a little smile when she looked over.

There are all kinds of spicy, sour, sweet and sour dishes on the table.

Shen Lingze blinked and said with a smile: "I really don't know what you like to eat, so you might as well have some of various flavors, there will always be something palatable."

Su Jingning thanked, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry."

Without saying a word, the two ate quietly.

The food in the restaurant tastes really good, but what Su Jingning ate was quite sweet.

After eating, the two sat down for a while to eat.

Shen Lingze talked about the fake seal that Su Jingning helped make before.

"I made a fake copy based on the previous official document, and it will be completed soon, and I will find an opportunity to submit it."

Su Jingning nodded and asked, "Your Majesty may have guessed who the Holy Majesty will ask to investigate this matter?"

Shen Lingze said: "I'm not sure yet, probably someone from the Procuratorate or the Ministry of Punishment."

Su Jingning's heart skipped a beat. Her uncle has just been appointed as the imperial censor of the imperial capital, and she won't go back to the old path of her previous life. Let him investigate this corruption case!
But the crown prince prompted his uncle to secretly recover in order to fight against the seventh prince.

This time they planned for so long to reveal the corruption case. They pulled Wang Chun off his horse and broke the Seventh Prince's arm. Uncle guessed it would be difficult to escape.

Thinking of this, her complexion became a little bad.

In the previous life, my uncle was accused of collaborating with the enemy on the way to investigate the corruption case.

Although the situation has changed this time, she is still very uneasy.

Seeing her strange expression, Shen Lingze couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Su Jingning woke up, looked at him and shook her head with a smile, "It's nothing, just lost in thought."
