Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

  Chapter 338 338. Rice spike tattoo

  The maid was very frightened and said tremblingly, "Princess, you need the emperor's consent to leave the palace, otherwise you will be punished by the palace rules!"

  Princess Changle didn't take it seriously, "Brother Huang loves me so much, he won't punish me, let's go."

  The maids still refused. The emperor will not punish the princesses, but there will be many who should punish them. If the princesses are allowed to leave the palace, they will probably be beaten to death.

  She was so frightened that she knelt down and cried, "Princess, please don't leave the palace for the sake of serving me carefully!"

  Princess Changle ran out of patience, raised her eyebrows, and shouted impatiently, "Are you going?"

  The maid begged, "Princess, let's ask the emperor first, and wait for the emperor's consent before leaving the palace, okay?"

  Princess Changle immediately became upset, "Are you from the emperor or from this princess?"

  The palace maid hurriedly said, "The servant belongs to the princess."

   But it is really miserable to follow the princess, because the princess has acted recklessly, and seven or eight court ladies have already died.

  Princess Changle fiercely raised the maid's chin, and threatened, "Since you belong to this princess, please listen to what I say, otherwise this princess will not let you have a good time!"

  The palace maid trembled with fear, and hurriedly responded, "My servant will help the princess change immediately."

  After some dressing, the princess changed out of the princess outfit and put on the maid's costume worn by the maids, and then led the maids towards the cold palace.

  Lenggong is next to the palace wall, you can go out from there.

  Princess Changle knows martial arts. She held a whip in her hand, and flicked it, the whip wrapped around a raised brick on the palace wall. She pulled it, and after making sure it was stable, she pulled the maid and flew out of the wall.

  The maid was so frightened that she fell to the ground with limp legs.

  Princess Changle saw this and cursed, "Useless things!"

  The palace maid was extremely wronged, she doesn't know martial arts, and the palace walls are so high, it's normal, but the princess never thinks of others, she can only suffer in silence.

  Princess Changle didn't care about the maid at all, so she whipped the maid, "Let's go."

  The maid flinched from the pain, and tears came out immediately, but she didn't dare to cry, otherwise she would be whipped, so she quickly got up and followed the princess' pace.

  …

  Dali Temple.

  A secret guard handed some letter paper to Tang Jinghong, "General, this is evidence that Liu Jingxian violated the law."

  Liu Jingxian was Si Yingzong's former boss, who took Si Yingzong's credit to replace him, but was the boss who made Si Yingzong take the blame when something happened.

  Tang Jinghong looked at the letter paper, secretly thought, after many days of investigation, finally collected enough evidence, "Find someone to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to expose him, and let his head fall within three days."

  The hidden guard cupped his hands, "Yes, General."

   Tang Jinghong stood in front of the window, staring at a white daisy outside the window, thought for a while, left the room, and went to the room where Shaoqing of Dali Temple handled the case.

  The Shaoqing of Dali Temple...Ren Buqing looked up at Tang Jinghong and threatened, "The general is here?"

  Tang Jinghong himself is not familiar with Ren Buqing, but he has become acquainted with Ren Buqing in the past few days working together, "Did you find "cloud" in the investigation?"

  Ren Buqing immediately frowned, looking very worried, "No, it's too mysterious and hidden too deeply."

  Tang Jinghong asked again, "Has the anonymous sender been investigated?"

  The case of buying and selling official positions in the Minister of the Ministry of War was not noticed at all. It was revealed that someone sent a letter to Doctor Yu Shi at night.

   Doctor Yu Shi is very pedantic and stubborn, but he is absolutely dedicated to his duty and is absolutely loyal to Da Ling. As soon as he read the letter, he immediately presented it to the emperor at the court meeting the next day.

  That's why the Minister of the Ministry of War was sent to prison.

  Ren Buqing felt that it was hard for a smart woman to cook without rice, "General, the handwriting is very strange, and I can't match anyone in the capital. Moreover, the Minister of the Ministry of War does not open his mouth, so the case has basically not progressed."

  Tang Jinghong frowned and thought for a moment, "I'll go to Tianlong to chat with Master Shangshu."

  Ren Buqing got up quickly, "General, I will go with you."

  Tang Jinghong nodded, and the two walked towards the prison together.

  …

   Sky Prison.

  The dungeon is dark and gloomy, filled with damp and decaying atmosphere, and also has an unpleasant smell.

  In a prison deep in the sky prison, a middle-aged man wearing a prison uniform sat cross-legged on the hay, with his eyes closed, and the only light from the skylight fell on him.

  The bright light dispelled the darkness on his body, and the dust rolled in his messy hair, illuminating his never-before-seen embarrassment.

  Suddenly, the sound of keys and chains sounded, and the door of the dungeon opened.

  Tang Jinghong and Ren Buqing walked in one after the other.

  Tang Jinghong lowered his eyes and stared at the middle-aged man for a while, then said calmly, "Master Shangshu, are you still unwilling to say a word?"

  Shi Rongping opened his eyes, and the eyes were dazzled by the light. He quickly covered them with his palms, "General Tang, buying and selling official positions, the evidence is solid, and I also plead guilty. What else do you want me to say?"

  Tang Jinghong said, "As far as I know, Mrs. Shangshu's wife is a good businessman. Her business has been doing well in recent years. I think Mr. Shangshu will not take such risks just for tens of thousands of taels of silver."

  Shi Rongping closed his eyes and stopped talking.

  Tang Jinghong pondered for a while, "Master Shangshu, you can't solve the problem by avoiding it like this..."

  Shi Rongping made up his mind to ignore Tang Jinghong, no matter what Tang Jinghong said, he kept silent.

   Tang Jinghong frowned. What exactly is Shi Rongping hiding?

   "Master Shangshu, what does "cloud" mean?"

  Shi Rongping still remained silent, but his eyes rolled, obviously knowing something.

   Tang Jinghong saw that Shi Rongping didn't speak, so he took Ren Buqing to the outside of the prison, turned a corner, and came to another cell.

  The official buyer Fu Qingsheng was imprisoned here, and he also kept silent, saying nothing.

  But Tang Jinghong didn't come to question this time. When he told Chu Qingzhi about the case yesterday, he got a hint, and now he came to verify it.

  Tang Jinghong ordered the jailer, "Go and take off his clothes to see if there are any tattoos on ears of rice."

  The jailer took the order, "Yes, General."

  After hearing Tang Jinghong's words, Fu Qingsheng glanced at Tang Jinghong unexpectedly. How did he know about the rice ear tattoo?

  The accident in his eyes did not miss Tang Jinghong's eyes, and Tang Jinghong became more and more sure that this matter was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface.

  The jailer stripped Fu Qingsheng of all his clothes, and saw a rice ear tattoo on his arm.

  Tang Jinghong stared at the rice ear tattoo, which was also on the bodies of the dead merchants in Shuiyun County. It can be seen that these people are all from the same power.

   "Take people out and interrogate what happened to the tattoo on the ear of rice."

   "Yes, General."

  Fu Qingsheng panicked. Tang Jinghong obviously had some kind of clue, otherwise he wouldn't have found the tattoo. Where was it exposed?
