"Senior Zheng means..."

"He rested in this inn earlier today, together with that Longmen man."

After flicking the rosary in his hand a few more times, Shopkeeper Zheng asked:

"Where did you meet him?"

"In the night market later, I met Uncle Taihe and had some conflicts with him. At that time, Lin Shaoqing from Dali Temple was also there."

"How is his strength?"

"...According to what Uncle Taihe said, when confronting that person, seven or eight out of ten of his strength cannot be shaken."

"..."

Shopkeeper Zheng was silent. It seemed that what he saw during the day was just the tip of the iceberg. Although he knew that Ashes was not a simple person, he never thought that he would have such an evaluation from Taihe, the deputy supervisor of the Suzhengyuan.

"People are ugly..."

Zheng Zhang sighed and shook his head.

"Forget it, let's ignore Mr. Yu for now. If he wants to do something, we may not be able to stop him alone. It's better to let it go and not provoke him."

"Senior Zheng said yes."

An old man and a young man talked at night while holding candles, and at this time the Liang Mansion was also brightly lit, and they were making a lot of noise in order to track down the snitch.

This is destined to be an uneasy night. There are those who set up the game, those who participate in the game, and those who disrupt the game. There is a mix of fish and dragons, and the forces of all parties are also secretly competing.

It wasn't until the night faded and the sky began to turn pale that the noisy Shangshu quieted down a little.

And after a night of sound sleep, Miss Jing Zhe finally woke up and stretched comfortably. She had never felt so relaxed in body, in a good mood, and at ease physically and mentally.

"You're awake, Miss Jingzhe."

Ashes just pushed the door open at this time, holding a breakfast in his hand, because the wine cup was stolen and went out to investigate, so there was not enough manpower in the Liang residence, so Ashes simply made breakfast for everyone by himself, of course he did not forget about Jing Zhe that one.

"Eat it while it's hot. You fell asleep right away last night. You must be hungry."

In fact, it was exactly the same. After Ashes entered the room, Jing Zhe was captivated by the aroma of breakfast, his stomach was empty, and his stomach and tongue were sending out signals of desire.

"Thank you, thank you..." Jing Zhe was a little embarrassed, and the memory of last night began to slowly recover, "I'm sorry, I was the one who troubled you, but in the end I became the one who was taken care of, it's really outrageous. "

After quickly finishing breakfast, Jing Zhe stroked her belly comfortably, showing a satisfied expression.

"By the way, where is it?"

"It's the residence of Liang Xun's magistrate. Because I was entrusted by others, I came here to help."

"Is that the magistrate? Well... Then I have to meet with someone else. After all, it takes some courtesy to occupy someone else's guest room."

Putting on his coat, Jing Zhe packed up his luggage and followed Ashes to look for Liang Xun. When Jing Zhe saw Liang Xun, he was slightly surprised.

"Prefect Liang, why are you so tired?"

Because of the wine cup, Liang Xun didn't sleep all night last night, he looked quite tired at this moment, when he found out that it was the Jingzhe, he quickly lifted his spirits.

"It's Mrs. Shaoqing. I'm sorry. Something happened in the house last night. Liang has been busy until now. Please forgive me for my impoliteness."

"This is the magistrate of Shangshu, what can be the matter?" Jing Zhe couldn't help being a little puzzled, but after listening to Hui Hui's narration, she became resentful.

When she slapped the table, even the cups on the table jumped a few times.

"How unreasonable! This little thief actually stole from the magistrate's head! If it gets out, what will be the face of Yan Kingdom's legal institutions?"

"It just so happens that this gentleman is kind to me, and this kind of thing happened again. Although Dali Temple will not interfere with other people's actions at will, it is also a detective institution. How can I ignore it? Please let me help!"

Jing Zhe said with great air, obviously she was very concerned about this matter.

Chapter 659 Miss Du: Unlucky, unlucky, unlucky!

Jing Zhe was determined to help track down the whereabouts of the wine cup, and wanted to bring the person who stole it to justice. Seeing her determination, Liang Xun also avoided those excuses.

And Ashes, as her chosen partner, will act together with her. Ashes doesn't care about this, but when Jing Zhe was ready to go to investigate the case in high spirits, he went back to the room first.

After telling the two sisters of Nianxi about the matter, Ashes got the answer that he could do whatever he wanted, completely letting go. Although he felt that the expression on Nian's face was weird when he said this, Ashes still didn't say much. think.

Although Nian is sometimes naughty or jumpy, but he still has a sense of proportion and will not cause any major problems.

With no further worries, Ashes followed Jing Zhe, ready to see what Dali Temple's methods of investigating the case were.

"In the huge Shangshu, how will Miss Jingzhe find the Snitch?"

Ashes asked quite curiously, while Jing Zhe put his akimbo on his hips, raised his head slightly, and said:

"No matter how complicated and chaotic a case is, there are traces to follow after all. After all, there will be a source for everyone and everything. As long as you start from this aspect, find the thread, and then follow it backwards, it will be easy. many."

"Mr. Ember, you and the Longmen man carrying the wine cup haven't acted separately since you came to Shangshu, right?"

"Except for meeting Miss Jingzhe that night, we basically spend the rest of the time together."

Ashes answered truthfully, and Jing Zhe also nodded, she already had a general idea in her mind.

"Let's go, let's walk again along the route Mr. Ember you took to enter Shangshu, and see if we can find any useful clues."

With a flick of his coat, Jing Zhe took the lead and walked ahead, but stopped before walking a few steps, turned the gun and turned back.

"Mr. Ember, you should go first."

Her face was a little rosy, and she obediently followed behind Ashes.

It took some effort, and the two returned to the pier where they logged in at the beginning. They were wondering if they could get some clues from Master Shen, but Master Shen seemed to be out to pick up passengers and punting. After asking around, they all said Without him, Jing Zhe had no choice but to give up.

The road that Master Shen took along was extremely clear in Hui Hui's mind, and it was exactly the same. He walked the road again, stopping and going, but he didn't find any useful clues.

"Miss Jingzhe, did you find anything?"

"Not yet. Detecting cases is not that simple."

Withdrawing her censoring gaze, Jing Zhe didn't show any discouragement on her face. As the young minister of Dali Temple, her temperament is naturally well-cultivated. It is the most basic thing to be neither arrogant nor impatient, let alone something even more difficult than this She has also participated in many cases, so she is not in a hurry.

"Is this the next one? Xingyu Inn...I have heard the name of this inn, but I have never been there."

"At that time, Master Shen took us to settle here temporarily and ordered some food, but some minor accidents happened."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

The two walked into the inn while talking, but the shopkeeper Zheng, who was resting with his eyes closed behind the counter, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the two people who were walking into the inn, squeezed the rosary in his hand, stood up forward.

"Mr. Yu, you are here again."

Shopkeeper Zheng had a complicated look in his eyes, but he didn't show it. He just told the workers in the store to hurry up and prepare some good wine and food.

"Excuse me, Shopkeeper Zheng."

"It's just for business. If you want to disturb me, who is this?"

Shopkeeper Zheng looked at Jing Zhe who was beside Ashes, her racial characteristics were not concealed, which also made Shopkeeper Zheng, who recognized her race, narrow his eyes slightly.

"Jing Zhe, a member of the government." Jing Zhe didn't wait for Ashes to introduce him, and stepped forward to announce his family name.

"Shopkeeper, have any strange people visited your inn in the past few days? Has there been any strange conflict?"

Jing Zhe was also unambiguous, and asked questions directly when he came up. At this time, there were other guests in the inn. Some curious people had already stopped their chopsticks and looked this way.

"This is not a place to talk, don't disturb other guests, Mr. Yu, Ms. Jingzhe, why don't you condescend and move to the private room?"

"It's my negligence, lead the way."

"Okay, buddy, take the two of you to the best box and serve the food quickly."

Watching the two of them go up to the attic, Shopkeeper Zheng still stood where he was, with the Buddhist beads in his hands twirling unceasingly.

This Mr. Yu actually knows a Qilin?

And why did he return to the Xingyu Inn at this time?Did he discover something...

Feeling that things were a bit of a headache, shopkeeper Zheng sighed, turned to look at the knife hanging on the wall, hesitated for a moment, and still did not touch it, but turned and walked into the back kitchen.

After Ashes and Jingzhe took their seats in the private room, the food and wine were served in a short while. After all, there were no strange dishes ordered during the year, and shopkeeper Zheng came with the food and wine.

"Please sit down, shopkeeper."

"I don't know what happened to make this lady so serious?" Shopkeeper Zheng asked Hui Hui and the others with a smile.

"There are artifacts stolen from Liang Xun's magistrate's mansion, and the thief has not subdued the law. I came here this time to solve this matter."

"Shopkeeper, you have to answer those questions truthfully."

Jing Zhe tried to get some clues from shopkeeper Zheng after applying a little pressure as usual, but shopkeeper Zheng is also an old fritter who has been around for a long time, so naturally he is also tight-fisted.

After talking for a while, Jing Zhe didn't get any new clues, and shopkeeper Zheng's overt and secret attempts to get some words out of Ashes also ended in failure.

Apart from knowing that Ashes and Lao Li are friends, shopkeeper Zheng has no way of knowing other information.

Both parties failed to know what they wanted, so the conversation came to an end. Shopkeeper Zheng left the box, Ashes and Jingzhe took advantage of the opportunity to have a light meal, and also left the Xingyu Inn, but they had just stepped out of the threshold of the inn. They realized that someone was following them.

The so-called mountains and rivers are full of doubts and no way out, and there is another village in the shadows of the willows. It is true that there are no clues in the inn, but once they come out, the clues will be chased out by themselves?

"Then, if you have anything to say, tell the truth, so as not to suffer flesh and blood."

Jing Zhe crossed her arms and looked condescendingly at the girl in front of her who had taken the courage to follow the two of them.

"Tsk...unlucky, has this been discovered?"

The man struggled twice, but found that he couldn't break free, so he also gave up the movement to save some energy.

"Should I say long time no see? Miss Du?"

That's right, the person sitting on the ground with her hands bound in front of her was Miss Du who had previously clashed with Ashes, but judging by her appearance, she seemed to have something to say?

"Hmph, stop talking, you guys want to know about that antique, right?"

"I know some clues about that thing."

As soon as these words came out, Jing Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly.

It appears that the source of the clues has been found.

Chapter 660 Ling and her brother-in-law

After loosening the restraint, Miss Du left, and she also left a very intriguing sentence.

"Is it possible that the power of the imperial court intervened in the incident...?"
