The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 186 The Bat in the Yamen
But the landlady smiled and said: "That's no need. When the time comes, it will be nice for the prince to introduce me to more tea customers."

Shen Changyan snorted: "That's natural."

With that said, he also stepped out.

Ying Yi felt unwilling and couldn't help but added: "When the time comes, I will definitely bring someone here."

I'm afraid she won't be able to wait until then.

But he didn't say that.

A group of people left from the backyard of Yuelai Teahouse and returned to Yiming Teahouse.

Bai Zhi suggested to Wang Shangshu: "Sir, you said there are no bats in Jingzhaoyi Mansion, how about we go look for them now? It is important to handle cases in every detail, otherwise if you miss even one detail, the case may be judged wrongly."

Wang Shangshu looked at her and asked hesitantly: "Is this still necessary? Jing Zhaoyi should be able to determine whether there are bats in his yamen."

As he spoke, he turned his head and ordered to Jing Zhaoyi: "Give Xianghe County Lord a clear answer."

Jing Zhaoyi was in a dilemma. He couldn't guarantee that there would not be a bat hiding in the yard as big as the yamen.

When Bai Zhi saw this, she didn't embarrass him and said loudly, "We'd better go check it out in person."

Shen Changyan also echoed: "Okay, I'll accompany you there."

Seeing that the two of them had already made up their minds, Wang Shangshu could not stop them anymore, so he could only acquiesce.

A group of people came to Jingzhaoyi Mansion again.

Yingyi took the initiative to ask: "County Master, do you need to prepare chicken blood to lure the bats out?"

Bai Zhi smiled mysteriously, shook her head and said, "No need, I can do it myself."

Yingyi asked no more questions.

Under the leadership of Jing Zhaoyi, Bai Zhi searched from room to room.

Most of the Jingzhaoyi mansion looked down, but no bats were found.

Wang Shangshu got a little impatient when he left, he stopped and asked aloud, "Is it useful to check aimlessly?"

Bai Zhi turned to look at him and said with a smile: "If Master Shangshu is tired, just take a rest on the chair on the verandah."

There was a hint of disdain that could not be concealed in his words.

Is it okay to go this way?

Wang Shangshu could only explain aloud: "It's not that I am tired, but I feel that it is meaningless to continue searching like this, but it seems like..."

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he found a reason to save face: "On the contrary, it would be like exposing the entire Jingzhaoyi Mansion to everyone. It is the center of the government office in the capital. Isn't this bad? What if the bad guys get hold of the structure of Jingzhaoyi Mansion?" , the consequences are simply unimaginable.”

Bai Zhi didn't expect that he would say that, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Continuing to search, there is indeed a suspicion of taking the opportunity to check the inner structure of Jingzhaoyi's mansion.

If it stopped like this, it would confirm Wang Shangshu's statement.

Her brain was working rapidly, looking for a way to deal with it.

Seeing this, Wang Shangshu regained his energy and said again: "Master Xianghe County, I think this is the end of it. It is impossible for there to be bats in Jingzhaoyi Mansion, otherwise we would have found them long ago. Then Yiming Teahouse was poisoned. It has nothing to do with bats."

Bai Zhi smiled coldly, he was still trying to solve the problem for the bat.

Then the purpose behind it is obvious, which is to open up Yuelai Teahouse.

She smiled slightly and nodded in response: "What Master Shangshu said is absolutely correct, but I haven't checked the remaining rooms yet, so I feel uneasy after all. Let's continue checking. If we can't find the bat, I won't bother you anymore." This case."

Shen Changyan saw Wang Shangshu's hesitation and seemed not to agree.

He also echoed, "Including me."

A successful smile flashed in Wang Shangshu's eyes, but he said: "Since the two of you are willing to continue searching, let's do it. Even if you can't find the bat, there is no need to withdraw from this case. It's not that serious. My officer Not serious."

Hearing his words, Bai Zhi's eyes darkened. She had a premonition that he was blocking this on purpose. As for the purpose, we could only wait and see.

But now he is continuing to look for bats to slap Wang Shangshu in the face.

So everyone continued to look for bats in the courtyard and rooms.

Suddenly in a secluded small courtyard, Bai Zhi stopped. She looked at Jing Zhaoyi and asked, "Is anyone living in this courtyard?"

Jing Zhaoyi shook his head, and replied: "No one lives there. It used to be the residence of the yamen servants, but now it's a storage room."

Bai Zhi signaled everyone not to enter the house, and stood in the yard without making a sound.

Everyone's faces showed doubts and surprise.

Bai Zhi didn't explain, but took out a small porcelain bottle from her pocket.

She uncorked the bottle, and there was a bloody smell immediately.

"What is this?" Wang Shangshu asked in surprise.

Bai Zhi put her index finger on her lips to signal him not to speak, and put the small porcelain bottle at the door of the house.

The door was hung with a hook and was not closed tightly, so not long after, a bat flew out from the crack in the door.

Wang Shangshu exclaimed: "How is it possible? How could there be bats in Jingzhaoyi Mansion?"

Hearing this, Bai Zhi turned to look at him and asked in confusion: "How come Master Shangshu is sure that there are no bats in Jingzhaoyi Mansion?"

Wang Shangshu showed an embarrassing expression on his face, but he immediately explained: "Jingzhaoyi's mansion is a government office, not a cave. How could there be bats living there? Someone must have deliberately framed it, trying to confuse the Yiming teahouse diner poisoning case." Audio-visual, excuse the real poisoner."

Bai Zhi nodded at him and said with a smile: "Very good, this statement sounds impeccable. But since this is Jingzhaoyi Mansion, a government office in the capital, a heavily guarded place, who can come here to frame me? Is there anyone in Jingzhaoyi Mansion? The mole?"

Wang Shangshu was stopped by the question, and he couldn't answer these questions.

So he could only turn his head and question Jing Zhaoyi: "What do you think is going on? Who is the ghost in your yamen?"

Jing Zhaoyi waved his hands and shook his head, swearing that there was no mole in the yamen.

But then he realized that by saying this, he clearly did not give Wang Shangshu a chance.

So he changed his words and said: "I'm down to you. I don't know. I'm going to let you check again. I'd also like to invite the Lord Shangshu, the Prince, the Lord of Xianghe County..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Shangshu waved his hand impatiently and hummed: "Waiting for you to check? The cucumber vegetables are also cold."

He turned around and ordered: "Come here, gather all the yamen servants of Jingzhaoyi Mansion in the lobby. Those who voluntarily admit that they are moles, or report others who are confirmed to be correct, will be rewarded heavily and will be promoted under special circumstances."

Wang Shangshu brought his followers and agreed, and then went to do it.

But Bai Zhi pretended not to hear it, but concentrated on staring at the bat next to the small porcelain vase.

Soon another one flew out.

There were two in total, and they both landed next to the small porcelain bottle. They looked into the small porcelain bottle, interested in the bloody smell inside.

Bai Zhi waited for a while, but no third came out, so she made a decision.

The two bats stood there quietly and did not move.

Bai Zhi said to Jing Zhaoyi: "Let them stay here, just throw some worms to them on time for three meals a day."

Jing Zhaoyi asked suspiciously, "Why did you leave them here?"
