Rufeng hurriedly explained, "Princess, please don't misunderstand. This subordinate and Miss Ruoyu are just forced by the situation, and there is no violation of any rules."

"Hey, who asked you this? I mean you actually found two sets of men's clothes?"

Rufeng later said that something was found in the cave.

Yunwei suddenly thought of the two Japanese pirates who died in Kongming Mountain, "Where are the clothes? Take them out and let me see."

Rufeng unpacked his clothes, spread out his clothes, and looked at the accessories carefully.

"These things come from the Xifang Market, and this ring is worn by many vendors in the Xifang Market."

Rufeng said: "After sending Miss Ruoyu off, my subordinates went to the Western Textile Market to investigate and learned that two vendors selling Japanese goods have indeed disappeared recently."

Because they resell Japanese goods privately, the two vendors can speak a little Japanese. Sometimes, in order to show off the purity of the goods, they will pretend to be Japanese. Therefore, it is very likely that they will be misunderstood and eventually die.

"Those two Japanese pirates, do they have any obvious physical characteristics?"

"Have."

The faces of the two Japanese pirates who were discovered were rotten, and they could only be matched based on their physical features.

"Go and ask Uncle Wu to help verify it."

"Yes."

Yunwei put away the evidence and thought that Ruoyu was in the right place when she ran away this time.

If there is news from Sui Linsheng, we can almost connect the whole story.

The next day, Sui Linsheng successfully brought her the news and hand-copied the contents of a secret message.

Yun Wei opened it and took a look: "Are you drawing a talisman?"

Sui Linsheng said in embarrassment: "Japan's characters are very weird. It's good if I can copy them. You can't understand them anyway. Why do you want me to copy them?"

Who said she couldn't understand it? Although it was a ghost-drawing talisman, she could barely understand it.

What was stated in the letter was indeed some response policies. Yun Wei flipped through it curiously and suddenly found that one was missing.

"Are you sure you've finished copying everything?"

"Nonsense, there are so many secret letters, I was so confused when copying them."

Yunwei was confused, but in this last letter, the words stopped abruptly, and it was obvious that one of them had not been copied.

It is impossible for Sui Linsheng to lie, that means someone took the last one away?

Yunwei made a guess, and it seemed that Yingzi was not stupid either.

Gu Changling will question Zhan tomorrow. He has almost all the evidence, but he still has to investigate one more thing.

"Sui Linsheng, please help me one more time. I will definitely help you chase Fangru later."

Sui Linsheng's eyes lit up: "Say!"

……

As Gu Changling's death approached, Qi Yu's uneasiness eased a lot. After leaving work today, he was dragged by his colleagues to a restaurant to relieve his boredom.

He thought it was too tight these past two days and he should relax.

In the restaurant, I exchange glasses, but after a few glasses I get a little drunk.

When drinking, everyone was mostly interested in talking about women, but today my colleague unexpectedly did not mention women, but instead mentioned Gu Changling.

"I really can't believe that Gu Xiuzuan is this kind of person who dares to collaborate with the enemy. Doesn't he know that once he is found out, this kind of crime will be punished by the Nine Clan?"

"Kill the Nine Tribes?" Qi Yu woke up from his wine in an instant, "Isn't it just a few letters? How can it be so serious?"

"Of course it's serious. I heard from the bachelor that his letter contained the Duke's policy of retreating from the enemy. It was very confidential. He was afraid of being leaked to the outside world, so he didn't say too much in court."

"Well, if Gu Changling dares to do this, he must be sure that he does not have the Nine Clan."

"Ah no, no, it must be because of the princess. The Duke of Guo loves his daughter, so he will naturally plead for mercy and not kill the nine tribes."

"That's right. If it is found that someone else is collaborating with the enemy, it will definitely be punished by the Nine Clan."

Qi Yu suddenly felt a chill on his back. Wasn't it just some scrap information that could convict Gu Changling? Why did it sound so serious?

Several people chatted and said that there were doubts in this case. His Highness Fourteenth had never wanted to believe that Gu Xiuzhuan was a collaborator and had been helping him find evidence.

Whether the execution will take place tomorrow is anyone's guess.

The more Qi Yu listened, the more unsure he became, so he excused himself to go back because he felt uncomfortable.

After getting on the carriage, he went directly to Chunfeng Tea House, but this time, he did not find Ding Jie.

It wasn't until closing time that Qi Yu went back anxiously.

At the same time, Qin Xiao secretly warned in the cell, "Your Highness, everything has been taken care of. Tomorrow morning there will be a death row prisoner who is similar to your husband and disguised as your husband. He will be punished in your place. Sir, don't worry. Tomorrow I will take you out safely.”

Gu Changling leaned in the cell, put one hand on his knee, and hummed softly.

Three days have passed without any news of a retrial. Yun Wei failed, right?

In fact, it's not her fault. If His Highness couldn't find out something, how could she find out even if she had a team of secret guards?

The strange thing is that when she left, she looked too serious when she said "believe me".

It was as captivating as when he jumped off the cliff that day, which raised Gu Changling's slight expectations.

Now, it's all in vain.

He took out the note that Yun Wei had sent in from under the straw, put it on the oil lamp and burned it.

The dancing firelight dappled his vision.

After holding back and planning for so long, can you only live behind the scenes in the end?

It was just after Mao Shi, the sky was foggy, and the early summer wind brought a chill, which made the guard guarding the gate of Dali Temple shiver.

He gathered his cloak and leaned against the door and continued to take a nap. Suddenly, there was a sound of a drum, breaking the tranquility of the dawn.

Yunwei was dressed in plain clothes, holding a drum in her hand, and played twenty sticks.

"My daughter and husband have been wronged. I hope Dali Temple will open a court for a retrial!"

The sound was sonorous and powerful, penetrating through many forbidden doors and reaching the ears of Hu Qiong, the minister of Dali Temple.

Cases that have already been judged can only be retried by beating the drum to protest the injustice.

Hu Qiong was dissatisfied, but the other party was the princess. After sending someone to invite the Duke, he ordered people to delay the opening of the court.

Within a few cups of tea, the matter of Gu Changling's retrial in Dali Temple was opened, and it quickly spread. People gathered outside the entrance hall of Dali Temple.

Everyone was chattering about the princess beating drums at Dali Temple to avenge Gu Changling.

The heavy sound of drumsticks spread through the crowd into the prison.

Qin Xiao was taking the condemned prisoners to exchange with Gu Changling. He was surprised when he heard the noise, "Someone is beating drums early in the morning to complain?"

Gu Changling stopped and said, "Don't change it yet."

"But……"

"hold on."

Yun Zhen learned of Yun Wei's actions and hurried over. Hu Qiong greeted him, "My lord, look at this..."

Yun Zhen cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hu. I'm kidding you, I'll take you back right now."

Hu Qiong said politely, "No trouble, the princess is still young and can't help but be impulsive. I'll invite the Duke here."

Yun Wei stood in the lobby, her back straight, her plain clothes as white as snow, and her brows firm.

"Weier, stop messing around and come back with me."

Yun Wei shook her head, "Father, I'm not fooling around. Gu Changling was indeed wronged. I found the evidence."

"What kind of evidence can you, a weak woman, find? Do you know that beating a drum to complain is not a child's play. If you don't have enough evidence, you will disturb the court and defy the emperor's judgment, and you will be punished."
