Linjiang Tongzhi was directly pulled down by the guards, and the victims who saw this scene trembled in their hearts, and they all gathered to stay away from Mu Yunyao.
Mu Yunyao's eyes swept over them one by one, and finally settled on the two people in the crowd with their heads lowered: "Bring out those two people in black clothes."
"Yes."
The two people who were brought out were both men, and their faces looked simple and honest. After they were caught, they kowtowed to Mu Yunyao: "Please spare your life, the county master, we are all ordinary people, and we are the adults who know the same thing. Arranged to come to this garden, the county master spares his life."
"Take it down and interrogate it together."
"The county lord, 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 be so careless."
Mu Yunyao turned her head and looked cold: "I just took you down for interrogation, when did I say that I would kill you? You two keep saying that you are ordinary people, but I don't think there is anyone with a Kyoto accent. Ordinary people in Jiangcheng!"
Si Shu stepped forward, kicked a man in the crook of his leg, and then pulled a dagger from the tattered shirt around his waist. "
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two men were about to bite the poison sac behind their teeth and commit suicide, but they didn't want to wait for them to act, and the guard who detained the two punched them in the cheek, knocking out two teeth directly.
"Miss, there is poison hidden behind the teeth, it seems that it should be a dead man." Even if such a person is alive, it is extremely difficult to interrogate something.
"Take it down for interrogation first, I don't believe that there is really a mouth that can't be opened in the world."
"Yes."
Seeing this scene, the disaster victims, who were still a little uneasy, took a breath and looked around to see if anyone was among them.
Mu Yunyao looked at Linjiang Garden, turned her head and said to the victims: "I will arrange tents as soon as possible, and invite all the people to live in the tents temporarily, Linjiang Garden is very likely to hide clues of thieves. , so you need to do a good search, and please understand."
"Yes, Caomin and others listen to the arrangements of the county master."
Mu Yunyao brought them food and medicinal materials, and also killed the corrupt officials in the city. They feared her and admired her, so they dared not refute her words and obeyed her. was arranged to go out.
"Do a good search 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 fragrance residues... But nothing really useful was found.
Mu Yunyao walked casually, and suddenly saw a few osmanthus trees planted behind a courtyard wall, she went around the courtyard wall and came under the osmanthus trees. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, he walked quickly to a laurel tree, and carefully measured the two inconspicuous pebbles placed under the laurel tree.
Si Qin and Si Shu followed: "Miss, what's wrong with these osmanthus trees?"
"See those two pebbles? There are moss growing on the pebbles, but there is no water in this garden, and there is no flooding here, the soil in the yard is dry... Go and dig and see if you can Can't find anything?"
"Yes." Siqin stepped forward to dig up the soil under the cobblestones, and after a while, he found a box. After opening it, a hairpin was placed inside, as if a woman had buried it when she was bored. "
Mu Yunyao took the hairpin and looked at it carefully. The pearl hairpin was engraved with the Chang'e jade rabbit, especially the rabbit, which was extraordinarily delicate and cute.
His fingers lightly stroked the handle of the hairpin, and suddenly his fingertips paused. Mu Yunyao took a closer look, twisted the head of the hairpin, and poured out a note from the handle, which seemed to be the handwriting of King Yue: " water."
Siqin and Sishu pondered quickly: "Water? Miss, do you mean that the lord wants to show that others are in Yishui City?"
Mu Yunyao looked at the note and then looked at the pebbles, her eyebrows moved slightly: "Is there water in Linjiang Garden?"
"Yes, the garden here also draws living water and runs through most of the courtyard."
"Where are these cobblestones laid?"
"If this is the case... the slaves will look for them immediately."
After searching for about half an hour, I finally fished out a falling 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 are marks under these two pieces of silver, which should be official silver."
"Official silver? It took so much effort to wrap it so tightly, just to hide these two pieces of official silver?" Mu Yunyao took a piece of official silver and looked at it carefully, and suddenly felt that the weight of this piece of silver was wrong. "This silver is too light..."
"Miss, are these two pieces of silver fake?"
"Wrap it in kraft paper, just because I'm afraid the water will soak the two ingots of silver." Mu Yunyao said, and threw the silver ingot directly to the ground, only to hear a click, and the silver ingot actually burst.
The secretary exclaimed: "This silver ingot is still covered with a layer of gilt silver on the outside, and the inside is clay? No wonder I'm afraid of being soaked in water!"
Mu Yunyao took a deep breath: "Pick up the broken silver, and the other good silver must be well preserved and must not be lost!"
"Yes, ma'am."
On the way back to the county government office, Mu Yunyao's face was always bad.
Siqin asked cautiously: "Miss, since there are clues left by His Royal Highness King Yue, you should be fine if you come here, so don't worry so much." "If it's really all right, why would you leave such an important evidence in such a hurry? In the water?" Mu Yunyao's mind was heavy, "His Royal Highness Yue Wang is strong in martial arts, with Yu Heng, Yu Yi and others guarding him, plus Buxian Lou's help, what happened, forcing him to so
situation? There is also the purse found in the cellar behind the county government office, if it is not a last resort, he will not leave the things I gave him..."
In the county jail, Tongzhi Linjiang and the two arrested men were tied up, with bloodstains on their bodies, obviously they had already been tortured.
Mu Yunyao came to the prison and looked at Tongzhi Linjiang who was tied up: "Your lord has suffered so much, don't you think of something to say?"
"Even if you are the county lord, you can't treat a court-appointed official like this!" Tongzhi Linjiang looked sad and angry.
Mu Yunyao sat down on the chair that Si Qin and Si Qi had brought, and sneered when she heard the words: "Any one of the crimes you committed is enough to kill you Ling Chi, I'm just torture you, anyway. And save your life."
"I don't understand what the princess is talking about."
"Salt tax and silver fraud, murdering the prince of the dynasty, killing salt dealers who knew about it, collaborating to destroy the river embankment..." Every time Mu Yunyao said a crime, Tongzhi Linjiang's face became embarrassed.
"How can the county master slander the officials of the court at will?" Linjiang Tongzhi retorted loudly, but there were bursts of guilt in his eyes.
Mu Yunyao stood up with a sneer, and walked out of the prison directly instead of being interrogated as Lin Jiang Tongzhi thought.
Siqin handed a small porcelain bottle to the waiting guard: "Give it to Master Tongzhi, and he will explain everything in the morning tomorrow." "Yes."
