Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 493: Clues Left by King Yue

Tongzhi Linjiang was directly dragged down by the guards. Seeing this scene, the victims trembled in their hearts, and they all gathered a little further away from Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao's eyes swept over them one by one, and finally fixed on the two people with their heads bowed in the crowd: "Bring those two people in black clothes out."

"Yes."

The two people who were brought out were both men, and their faces looked simple and honest. After being caught, they kept kowtowing to Mu Yunyao: "Please forgive me, princess, we are all ordinary people. Please forgive anyone who came to this garden under the arrangement of the princess."

"Take them down and interrogate them together."

"Princess, we are all ordinary people. Why do you treat us like this? Is it because you don't like us? Even if you have the credit for helping the victims, you can't treat human lives like this."

Mu Yunyao turned her head and looked cold: "I just brought you down for interrogation. When did I say that I wanted your lives? You two keep saying that you are ordinary people. I don't think there is a Lin who speaks with a Kyoto accent. Ordinary people in Jiangcheng!"

The secretary stepped forward, kicked a man in the crook of the leg, and then pulled out a dagger from the tattered clothes around his waist. "

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two men were about to bite the poison sacs behind their teeth to kill themselves, but they didn't want to wait for them to move, and the guard who detained them punched them on the cheek, knocking out two teeth directly.

"Miss, there's poison hidden behind the teeth. It looks like a dead man." Even if such a person is alive, it is extremely difficult to interrogate him.

"Take it down for interrogation first, I don't believe there is really a mouth that cannot be pried open."

"Yes."

Seeing this scene, the disaster victims, who were still a little uneasy, took a deep breath and looked around at the people around to see if there was anyone among them.

Mu Yunyao looked at Linjiang Garden, turned her head and said to the victims: "I will arrange the tents as soon as possible, and invite all the common people to live in the tents temporarily. There is a high possibility that there are clues of thieves hidden in Linjiang Garden. , so we need to search carefully, and please forgive me.”

"Yes, Caomin and the others all listen to the arrangement of the princess."

Mu Yunyao brought them food and medicinal materials, and killed corrupt and inactive officials in the city. While they were afraid of her, they also felt admiration from their hearts. were arranged to go out.

"Search carefully and see if you can find any clues."

After searching for nearly an hour and a half, someone found the black ash after the paper was burnt under the soil, and there were drug and incense residues...but nothing that was really useful was found.

Mu Yunyao walked casually, and suddenly saw a few osmanthus trees planted behind a courtyard wall, she walked around the courtyard walls and came under the osmanthus trees. Suddenly his eyes were fixed, and he walked quickly to a osmanthus tree, carefully measuring two unremarkable pebbles placed under the osmanthus tree.

Si Qin and Si Shu followed up: "Miss, what's wrong with these osmanthus trees?"

"See those two pebbles? There is moss growing on the pebbles, but there is no water in this garden, and there is no flood here, and the soil in the yard is dry... Go dig and see Can you find something?"

"Yes." Si Qin stepped forward and dug the soil under the cobblestones, and found a box after a while. After opening it, there was a hairpin inside, as if it was buried by a woman when she was bored. "

Mu Yunyao took the hairpin and looked it over carefully. The jade rabbit of Chang'e was engraved on the hairpin, especially the rabbit, which was extraordinarily exquisite and cute. She knew at a glance that it was buried by King Yue.

Caressing the handle of the hairpin lightly with her fingers, she suddenly paused with her fingertips. Mu Yunyao took a closer look, twisted the head of the hairpin, and poured out a note from the handle, which seemed to be written by King Yue: " water."

Si Qin and Si Shu thought quickly: "Shui? Miss, is it possible that the prince wants to show that others are in Yishui City?"

Mu Yunyao looked at the note and then at the pebbles, her brows slightly moved: "Is there water in Linjiang Garden?"

"Yes, the garden here also draws running water, which runs through most of the courtyard."

"Where are these pebbles laid?"

"If this is the case... the servant will go find it immediately."

After searching for about half an hour, I finally fished out a stone in the water, wrapped in layers of kraft paper. The kraft paper was opened layer by layer, revealing two ingots of silver.

"Miss, there is a mark on the bottom of these two ingots of silver, it should be official silver."

"Official silver? It took such a lot of effort and wrapped it so tightly, just to hide these two ingots of official silver?" Mu Yunyao took a piece of official silver and looked it over carefully, suddenly felt that the weight of the ingot was wrong. "This silver is too light..."

"Miss, are these two ingots of silver fake?"

"Wrap it in kraft paper, because I'm afraid that the water will soak the two ingots of silver." Mu Yunyao said, and directly dropped the silver ingot in her hand on the ground, only to hear a thud, and the silver ingot burst open.

The secretary exclaimed: "This silver ingot has a layer of gilt silver on the outside and clay on the inside? No wonder it's afraid of being soaked in water!"

Mu Yunyao took a deep breath: "Pick up the broken silver, and the other intact ingot of silver must be preserved carefully, and it must not be lost!"

"Yes, miss."

On the way back to the county government office, Mu Yunyao's expression remained unwell.

Si Qin cautiously asked: "Miss, since you have the clues left by His Royal Highness King Yue, I think others should be fine, so don't worry so much."

"If it's really all right, why did you leave such important physical evidence in the water in a hurry?" Mu Yunyao thought heavily, "His Royal Highness King Yue has excellent martial arts skills, and there are Yu Heng, Yu Yi and others guarding him by his side. Lou's staff helped him, what happened to force him into such a situation? And the purse found in the cellar behind the county office, if it was not a last resort, he would not have left the things I gave him... "

In the county government prison, Tongzhi Linjiang and the two arrested men were tied up, with bloodstains on their bodies, obviously they had been tortured.

Mu Yunyao came to the prison and looked at Linjiang Tongzhi who was tied up: "My lord has suffered so much, don't you think of something to say?"

"Even if you are a princess, you can't treat a court official like this!" Tongzhi Linjiang looked sad and indignant.

Mu Yunyao sat down on the chair brought by Siqin and Siqi, and sneered when she heard the words: "Any one of the crimes you have committed is enough to kill you Ling Chi, I am just torture you now, no matter what You still have your life."

"I don't understand what the princess is talking about."

"Falsifying salt tax, tax and silver, murdering the current prince, killing salt merchants who knew it, colluding to destroy river embankments..." Every time Mu Yunyao mentioned a crime, Linjiang Tongzhi's face became embarrassing.

"How can the princess slander the court officials at will?" Tongzhi Linjiang retorted loudly, but there was a guilty conscience in his eyes.

Mu Yunyao stood up with a sneer, and instead of interrogating Linjiang Tongzhi, she went straight out of the prison.

Si Qin handed a small porcelain bottle to the waiting guard: "Give it to Master Tongzhi, and he will explain everything in the morning."

"Yes."
