"I'll find it myself."
Murong Shi walked in, with a bright and excited smile on her face.
At this time, Shen Zhiyan came out and said coldly: "His Highness is not here, the princess should go back."
Seeing that, she suddenly remembered that day in the alley in front of Jian's house, she fell to the ground, and he took away her first kiss.
Immediately, blushes appeared on her cheeks, and her anger rose slowly.
However, if there are important things to do today, let's do the important things first. She bossed her around and said, "Hurry up and send someone to send a message to His Highness to come to Dali Temple."
He asked casually: "Is there any important matter for the princess to ask His Highness?"
"I can solve the tragedy of Jian's family." She said boldly, and she was so excited that she flew into the sky. "Today, Lin Lang and I went to Jian's house and found the same important evidence."
"Oh what?" He didn't care, she could find any important physical evidence. He and His Highness visited Jian's house three or four times, but they didn't find anything important related to the murderer.
"I won't tell you, I'll just tell His Highness." Murong Shi snorted arrogantly, "I'll wait until His Highness comes down."
"I'm afraid the things you found belonged to Jane's family, not left by the murderer."
"Impossible. I won't be fooled by you."
"what did you find"
This was said by Murong Ci who came out of Neiyuan. Although she didn't think the princess could find any useful evidence, it was better than nothing.
Murong Shi went over in surprise, and suddenly thought that they said just now that His Highness is not here? She asked suspiciously: "Your Highness, aren't you here?"
Murong Ci said directly: "The main point, what did you find, show me."
Murong Shi clenched her right hand tightly, "Your Highness, if the thing I found was really left by the murderer, do you want to reward me?"
Murong Ci was quite speechless and could only nod.
So Murong Shi handed the thing in his hand to His Highness, Murong Ci took it, and Shen Zhiyan and others focused their eyes on that thing.
Murong Ci looked at it carefully, it was a long strip of topaz, about the length of the middle finger, with a delicate hibiscus flower carved on the front, and nothing on the back, a red string was tied to one end of the jade plaque, the style was quite simple . However, this topaz jade is of high quality and the carving is also very fine, it doesn't look like those ordinary jade plaques on the market.
Shen Zhiyan looked at it for a while, "This jade tablet should have some background."
"Where did you find this jade tablet?" she asked Murong Shi.
"Lin Lang and I went to Jian's house to investigate. We searched inside and out, and finally found this jade plaque in the servant's room." The transparent skin can be broken by blowing.
"Your Highness and I have searched for the servant's room several times, but why can't we find it?" He frowned.
"Let's be careful." She said with a smile, her beautiful eyes blinking intelligently.
"Where did you find it in the room?" Murong Ci asked again.
"Your Highness, the servant and the princess looked around in that servant's room. The room was a bit dark, and the princess accidentally bumped into it. The servant helped the princess to sit down, and then the princess noticed that there was light in the corner of the wall." Lin Lang Said.
"I didn't notice it at first, because I wanted to sit for a while, so I dragged the bench out, so I saw it." Murong Shi said with a frown.
Murong Ci looked at this jade tablet over and over again, could this jade tablet belong to the servant of Jian's family
Shen Zhiyan deduced: "Your Highness, this jade plaque is of high quality, and it doesn't look like something owned by the Jian family."
Murong Shi was even happier when she heard this, "Your Highness, will I be rewarded for my great achievements this time?"
Murong Ci winked at Qin Ruo, "I want someone to check this jade tablet, but I will reward you."
Murong Shi was about to ask what the reward was, but saw His Highness and Qin Ruo walking out, hurriedly chased after her and shouted: "Your Highness, I will go wherever you go."
Qin Ruo turned around to stop her, and said coldly: "Your Highness has important matters to attend to, if the princess insists on following, then the reward will be lost."
Murong Shi opened her mouth, but failed to catch up after all.
Shen Zhiyan didn't follow, since His Highness had a way to find out the origin of the jade plaque, he was relieved.
Murong Ci and Qin Ruo rushed to No. 1 Villa in the World and showed Rong Zhan the jade plaque.
Rong Zhan looked at it carefully for a long while, and said in a low voice, "Although this jade plaque is simple in shape, it has a lot of history."
"What's the origin?" Murong Ci asked urgently.
"When the No. 1 village in the world spied on and collected news from the world, I had seen a jade tablet very similar to this one, but I couldn't remember it at the moment."
"Is there a record?"
"Yes, owner, wait a moment, I'll go check the file."
Rong Zhan quickly stepped into the dark room where the files were kept, and they waited in the inner hall.
Qin Ruo beamed with joy, "If we can find out the origin of this jade plaque, we will be able to solve the two massacres."
Murong Ci also had a happy expression on his face, "I hope so."
However, knowing the origin of the murderer and arresting him is another matter.
After a cup of tea, Rong Zhan finally came back with a book in his hand
Book, happily said: "Master, let's see if it's the same."
She took the booklet and compared the pattern on the booklet with the jade plaque, "It is indeed the same. This is the jade plaque unique to Baihualou. Baihualou is an organization of killers."
He explained: "This jade card is the unique identity certificate of Baihualou, and only those with higher status have this kind of jade card. I ordered my subordinates to check Baihualou two years ago, but Baihualou's whereabouts were erratic, It’s hard to track down, and it took me more than half a year to find out a little bit.”
"Be specific."
"About five years ago, people from Baihualou suddenly came and went in the capital, but their behavior was very strange and erratic. I don't know what exactly Baihualou does, what purpose and teachings it has. Inquire about the internal affairs, even if you arrest and torture the people in Baihualou, you can’t get a single word from them. They would rather take poison and commit suicide than say a word. Baihualou should have multiple grades, different grades, The identities are naturally different, the higher the grade, the higher the status. Also, most of the people in Baihualou are women, so their identity certificates are jade plaques carved from topaz."
"Who is the leader of Baihualou and has he done any major things in the capital in the past few years?"
"There is no way to know the internal situation of Baihualou, and even its leader can't be found out. I only know this, but the hidden strength of Baihualou should not be underestimated, perhaps not worse than No. 1 village in the world. In the past two years I have been sending people to pay close attention to the movements of Baihualou, but there seems to be no movement." Rong Zhan shook his plain fan slowly, looking leisurely.
"Baihualou is really mysterious." Murong Ci frowned thoughtfully.
"In the eyes of others, our No. 1 village in the world is still as mysterious as it is," Qin Ruo said with a smile.
"Qin Ruo said that well. The No. 1 Village in the World opens its doors to the general public, but few people know the secrets of the No. 1 Village in the World." He frowned and smiled.
"The Baihualou jade plaque appeared in Jian's house, so the people in Baihualou are the murderers of the massacre of the Li family and the Jian family." Murong Ci's cold eyes froze.
"Why did Baihualou kill Li's family and Jian's family? Could it be to take money from people to eliminate disasters?" Qin Ruo guessed.
"Very likely." Rong Zhan said decisively, "The Li family and Jian family should not provoke Baihualou."
Back at Dali Temple, Murong Ci told Shen Zhiyan about Baihualou, and their speculations were very consistent:
Either Baihualou takes people's money to eliminate disasters for others, or Baihualou is brewing a terrifying conspiracy.
Shen Zhiyan pondered for a while, and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to check Baihualou?"
There were a few thin lines between her brows, "I asked you before, the lair of Baihualou is very secret, no one knows where it is, and it's not easy to find."
His eyes were filled with disappointment, "In other words, even if we know that the people in Baihualou are the murderers, we can't do anything to them, and we can't arrest them."
Qin Ruo asked sadly: "Then what should I do? I can't do anything?"
Murong Ci nodded, as if a sense of powerlessness gripped her heart, "If God has mercy, there may be a chance to find the lair of Baihualou."
Then they talked about Miss Huang. She was already familiar with the environment of Dali Temple, and after taking the medicine, she became more and more cheerful. Not only could she get along well with the aunt who was doing chores, but she also resisted the approach of the yamen servants, with a smile on her face.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Miss Huang is fine in Dali Temple. She knows that everyone has no ill intentions towards her, so she is not afraid of their approach, and sometimes she jokes with them." Shen Zhiyan laughed.
"She knew that Old Man Huang had passed away, so she must have died of grief." Qin Ruo's face was full of pity.
"Well, she was heartbroken in those two days, but then she thought about it, and it was fine."
"Miss Huang is alone, helpless, and has no relatives or friends in the capital. If she is not allowed to stay in Dali Temple, I am afraid that it will be difficult for her to survive outside alone, and she will be bullied." Murong Ci said worriedly, " Why don't you Dali Temple invite her to be a servant, just to help the aunt who cooks."
"That's exactly what I mean, but I haven't asked Miss Huang's wishes yet." Shen Zhiyan laughed.
"Then the Japanese Palace will ask her in a few days."
"good."
After all, they went to the back garden to visit Miss Huang together.
Ms. Huang's cooking skills are quite good. She cooked some home-cooked dishes for them to try, and thanked them solemnly.
They were eating, Murong Shi rushed in hurriedly, Lin Lang followed behind.
Murong Ci's good mood is gone forever, why is she here again
Murong Shi sat down, happily said: "I happen to be hungry, I want to eat too."
Lin Lang went to get a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Shen Zhiyan knew that His Highness was upset, and asked, "Didn't the princess go back to the palace?"
"I still want to ask Your Highness for a reward." Murong Shi smiled so that her eyebrows and eyes narrowed like crescent moons, "Have you thought about how to reward me, Your Highness?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Murong Ci bowed his head to eat.
"Your Highness, have you found the murderer? When are you going to arrest the murderer?" Murong Shi asked inarticulately while chewing on duck meat.
"Princess, Your Highness doesn't like to talk during meals." Qin Ruo mourned for His Highness.
"Oh." Murong Shi finally stopped.
Murong Ci swallowed his food, stood up and left without saying, "I still have important things to do, so let's go ahead."
Murong Shi was gnawing on the chicken leg, just gnawing on it, watching His Highness fly away with a dazed expression.
