Chapter 22 New Clues
Han Shiyan couldn't help but shudder and took a step back slightly.

He felt that Gu Shiwei was like a butcher holding a knife, standing in front of the butcher's bench, sharpening the knife, preparing to cut off his fattest piece of meat.

"Where does the theory of ghosts and gods come from? It's just that some people are not upright, and the Yushitai collects evidence of their crimes and punishes them severely according to the law."

"Just like your Imperial City Secretary, you are obviously an invisible shadow. If you insist on being the hyena that shows off to the world, you will end up destroying yourself sooner or later."

Han Shiyan knew that he was notorious, but he never explained a word of it.

Today, for the first time for the first time in history, I gave a thorough explanation to the evil man from the Imperial City Division.

He had a hunch that if he told her too late, the fierce-looking girl in front of him might really do the ridiculous thing of pressing her head and asking him to take turns getting engaged to her enemy's daughter.

Ke finished one family and then the next, just like Gu Shiwei followed his master after following him.

It's something she can do!

Feeling Han Shiyan's resistance, Gu Shiwei shook his head in disappointment, saying that he was so stubborn!It's not the time to draw your sword yet!

She thought about it, her eyes moved, she took out the earring she had received from Ding Yang's mother, and handed it to Han Shiyan, "Do you have any clues? We, a humble citizen like us, have never seen Jin. Ah jade."

Seeing that Gu Shiwei had returned to normal, Han Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief.

He took the earring, rubbed it in his hand a few times, and said, "Let's go find Master Jia first and let him see the seal."

"As for the three possibilities you mentioned earlier, if the letter that framed Zhang Chunting was exchanged by Ding Yang after he killed Mr. Guan, then Miss Chunling, who had seen the original letter in Hangzhou, might have been in grave danger. not enough."

If the letter was exchanged midway, and Zhu Cheng was already dead, Miss Chunling would be a strong witness who had seen the real letter.

The people behind the scenes want to frame Zhang Chunting, and they will definitely kill people and silence them.

Han Shiyan said, picked up the earring, looked at the light, and then handed it to Gu Shiwei, "This jewelry is very exquisite. Although it is not expensive, it cannot be made by an unknown goldsmith." from."

"I don't know much about these jewelry. If you trust me, I can ask Wang Yushi to help me take a look."

Wang Yushi had eighteen concubines, and he was very familiar with the affairs of these women.

"But you should be right. This thing is not owned by a pawn like Ding Yang. It should be related to his death and have special meaning to him."

Just as Gu Shiwei was about to nod, he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him.

The muddy Wu Jiang, with a red face, galloped closer. He smiled, turned over and dismounted.He scratched his head in embarrassment and said bluntly, "Just now, the old man scolded me bloody. He said that the face of Kaifeng Mansion has been brought to shame by me."

"Even if I drag you two by the thighs today, I must investigate the case with you. Otherwise, Kaifeng Mansion will have no place in Bianjing City."

"Although I don't understand, Kaifeng Mansion is obviously there. It occupies a vast area, let alone a foothold. Even if it is rolling all over the ground, there is still no land."

As he said this, he looked over shamelessly and exclaimed when he saw the earrings, "Isn't this the Chunliu from Yixian Pavilion? My fifth sister has wanted to buy it for a long time, but I didn't expect that you, Brother Shi Yan, would buy it." It’s time to see the bride away.”

"If I had known this, I would have taken the lead and exchanged a set of my fifth sister's headgear with you. In this way, my fifth sister can get what she likes, and brother Shi Yan, you won't look fussy when giving gifts!"

"Where can I find a girl who only gives me an earring?" Wu Jiang spoke like fried beans, which made Han Shiyan speechless.

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as mute."

Wu Jiang made a gesture to seal his mouth, and then looked at the two of them pretending to be flattering.

Gu Shiwei looked amused, "Then if you go to this Xianxian Pavilion, you can find out who bought the jewelry?"

Wu Jiang thought for a while, "Wu Jiang from the General's Mansion can't investigate it, but Officer Wu from the Kaifeng Mansion can investigate it, if this thing is related to the case."

Yixian Pavilion is a well-known time-honored silver building in Bianjing City, located on the most prosperous Zhuque Street.

The merchants that can stand firm under the emperor's feet have more or less strong backgrounds and will not reveal the affairs of their customers casually.But when Kaifeng Mansion goes to investigate and inquire about the case, it's a completely different story.

Gu Shiwei took a deep look at Wu Jiang and nodded without hesitation, "It's related to the case."

Wu Jiang instantly became happy, "There is something I can do to help. By the way, the old man asked me to tell you that Ding Yang undoubtedly hanged himself. There were no signs of struggle on his body, but there was an old spot on his heart. The injury should have been caused by someone kicking him three or four days ago."

"I still have bruises. Other than that he was good enough to kill a cow!"

Wu Jiang got on his horse as he spoke. Han Shiyan watched and silently returned the earring to Gu Shiwei. The two looked at each other and followed Wu Jiang towards Zhuque Street. Coincidentally, it was Master Jia's shop. Also in the same direction.

The three of them rode through the busy city and soon arrived at the entrance of the Xianxian Pavilion.

The boy who greeted the guests at the door saw that Wu Jiang smelled bad and wanted to stop the guests, but when he saw Gu Shinwei behind him who was wearing the imperial uniform, he hesitated for a moment and quickly went inside to report to the shopkeeper.

Wu Jiang didn't notice at all and kept talking to himself, "I heard that a wealthy businessman in the south got a piece of fine jade and took it to Yixian Pavilion to make a set of headgear. The remaining scraps were used as a reward."

"Xianxiange took the scraps and made a set of gold-inlaid small heads and noodles, which are called real willows. It means they look like real willow branches. My fifth sister doesn't like anything else, she just likes all kinds of weird shapes. Ear clang.”

"She liked this real willow very much at that time, but it was a pity that she came a step too late and asked someone to buy it. She didn't think about it when she went home and even drew a picture by herself based on her memory."

As soon as Wu Jiang finished speaking, a white noodle shopkeeper came out. He was about forty years old and looked white and soft, like a glutinous rice dumpling.

"Little General Wu is right! I am Li Xiao, the chief shopkeeper of this line pavilion."

Although the price of the willow branches suddenly dropped a bit when he said it was a willow branch, it was still a rough statement but not a rough one.

Hearing this, Wu Jiang coughed twice, straightened his expression, and gained some authority, "Don't call me General Wu. Now I am the new official of Kaifeng Mansion."

He said, looking around and lowering his voice, "Now Zhenliu's earrings are involved in a murder case. We need to know who the buyer is?"

The shopkeeper's ears twitched, and he looked calmly at Han Shiyan and Gu Shiwei behind Wu Jiang, "You three, please follow me here."

As he spoke, he led the three of them to the private room on the second floor and took out another thick blue book.

He dipped his hand in his mouth and turned it over. After flipping for a while, he finally turned to the page with real willow head jewelry. Gu Shiwei looked at it quietly and saw the words written in black and white at the bottom of the album. A row of small words: "The King of Yushitai is pleased to present poplar branches in Furong Lane".
