After entering the main hall, An Yu offered tea and stood aside silently.
"Master Gu, actually, my prince came here today to ask for advice."
"Your Majesty, please tell me."
Yu Ziye took out the bloody jade button and put it on the table.
Gu Yunshu looked carefully and was surprised, "Huh?"
"Do you know Mr. Gu?"
"To be honest, this jade buckle was originally owned by a lower official. I don't know why it fell into the hands of the prince. What is the reason for the blood stains? Could it be... that this was part of Xu Lin's murder case?
That one?"
"Master Gu, are you sure this is yours?" Yu Ziye asked.
"Yes, but it was lost a few days ago and I have been searching for it to no avail."
Yu Ziye explained the reason, but Gu Yunshu was still puzzled, "But the official has not taken it out of the house recently, so how could it be lost in Jiyuefang and picked up by Miss Xiyan?"
"Is it possible that Mr. Gu wants to say that it grew its legs and slipped out on its own?"
Yu Ziye said this unintentionally, but the smile on his face gradually faded and he raised his head to look at Su Zhen.
The latter thought of how Yu Ziye and others encountered assassins after leaving Jiyuefang last night, and suddenly felt that the jade button was not picked up by Xi Yan, or maybe she had stolen it?
So why was she silenced again?
Gu Yunshu followed his gaze and asked, "Brother Nanshan, do you have any other opinions?"
"May I ask, sir, where did this jade buckle come from?"
"This is my mother's relic."
"It's a pity to say that. Jade is forbidden to be bloody. It would be better for you to wear it less in the future."
Facing Su Zhen's provocation, Gu Yunshu's expression remained unchanged, "It doesn't matter, can the prince return it to the lower official?"
"This... I'm afraid there is some difficulty. It has now been used as evidence. When the case is over, I will help you get it back."
"That's fine."
"Master Gu, this jade has spirituality. I wonder where your mother got it from?" Su Zhen asked.
Gu Yunshu's smile did not reach his eyes, and he replied casually, "It's passed down from our ancestors."
"Really? According to my observation, this jade is at least ten thousand years old."
“I didn’t expect Brother Nanshan to know much about jade.”
"The villain is short-sighted, so naturally he doesn't understand. It's just that my eyes can detect aura, and you can tell if it's a treasure at a glance."
"That's really strange. I didn't expect that I didn't even know I had this treasure in my hand."
"Tsk! There's something even more strange! I once learned fortune-telling from a charlatan, and I don't dare to say whether my guess is accurate or not, but I'm pretty close, but I really can't see through Master Gu." Su
Zhen is a small person, very humble.
Their eyes met, and Gu Yunshu looked away after noticing the playfulness in her eyes.
"Since he is a charlatan, he cannot be trusted entirely."
"Master Gu is right! Oh, by the way, that girl named Qiqi is such a pity. Taiwei Tang holds great power. Mr. Tang will definitely be fine this time. Miss Qiqi will not be able to say for sure.
I want to be a scapegoat."
Gu Yunshu asked calmly, "Brother Nanshan also thinks Tang Yinchen is guilty?"
Su Zhen came forward very shamelessly, "Yes! You don't know that my eldest son was almost implicated last night. Today, he went to the Siwei Mansion to visit him. Who would have thought that he would dare to insult the eldest son? We are here
I thought I would use this jade buckle to convict him, but I didn’t expect to find the original owner for it first, Mr. Gu, what a fate!”
"I see. Then according to what you said, isn't it true that the Tang family's young master is as sinful as the people say?"
"Maybe that's true! If he is a good person, why would they frame him?"
Listening to Su Zhen's efforts to discredit Tang Yinchen, Yu Ziye's lips trembled while suppressing a smile.
"But I was also present in the court today. He was upright and hated evil as much as he hated evil. He didn't look like a bad person."
"Really? He must have hidden it too deeply, and even you were deceived."
"I didn't expect that the Nanshan brothers would be so loyal and have been fighting for the injustice of the prince."
"It's natural."
Su Zhen glanced into the room and suddenly saw a black piece of clothing exposed from behind.
"Master Gu, you..."
Su Zhen wanted to deceive a few more words, but Gu Yunshu took the lead and spoke up, "Your Majesty, I have official duties to attend to. I don't know much about the jade buckle, but there should be clues in the Xu Mansion. If you are interested,
, you might as well check again.”
This means an eviction order is being issued.
"Then let's take our leave first. Thank you, Mr. Gu, for letting me know. I'll treat you to a drink another day."
"It's time to lower your official rank and invite the crown prince."
Yu Ziye smiled and walked out.
"Farewell to the Crown Prince." Yu Changqing saluted again.
Before Su Zhen left, she took a meaningful look inside the room and then followed Yu Ziye's footsteps.
Gu Yunshu sent him out of the house and hurried back to Zhiqiu Garden.
After asking An Yu to step back, he said in a solemn voice, "Come out."
The person inside the house walked out, and it turned out to be the man in black who rescued Su Zhen last night.
"Ha! Named Nanshan? He is quite good at catering to you."
Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, you can leisurely see Nanshan Mountain.
Gu Yun sat back down, took a sip of tea and asked, "Since you are back, why don't you meet Su Zhen face to face?"
"The time has not come yet." He replied calmly.
"He just deliberately said in front of me that Qiqi might become Tang Yinchen's scapegoat, and he also slandered Tang Yinchen and slandered his reputation to test me. I always felt that something was wrong."
"Could he have noticed the jade aura in you and become suspicious?"
"It's hard to say...that's all, let's not talk about him. When do you plan to come back?"
"In the past few days, I have written a note to inform the emperor."
"So good."
The man in black thought for a while, but still felt uneasy, "You and Yuchen should be careful. They will start directly from the Taiwei Mansion. They must not be able to wait any longer."
"Even though they have overwhelming power, do they really dare to ignore the king's laws, frame them at will, and take human lives at a cost?!"
He laughed out loud, "You have been immersed in official circles for many years and have been dealing with them all day long. Do you still think that those people have good intentions?"
"That's not the case. I just think they are too rampant. If the throne falls into the hands of King Qin, I'm afraid the country will not be protected."
"With the death of Xu Lin, the Xu family has not only rectified the family tradition, but also dealt a heavy blow to the Taiwei's Mansion, and then dragged you into the water. Now it has even stained the Marquis's Mansion and the Taifu's Mansion, and even the emperor has treated him a little too much.
Being tolerant is the best way to kill two birds with one stone."
"So, do you think King Qin sent someone to kill Xu Lin?"
"It's not impossible, but it's also possible that Xu Jing came up with a plan to please King Qin. If he is really so vicious, Su Zhen and the others may really be in trouble. I'm not here these days. If they are in a dilemma, could you please help them?
A handful."
"good."
Xiao Chuhong's eyes flashed with cold light, and he slowly took off his mask.
Those people owe him, even if they spend everything they have, they must pay with their blood!
...
After Yu Ziye and others left Zuo Xiang's Mansion, they were walking on the street holding the reins in their hands. Su Zhen looked back from time to time.
"Aning, Gu Yunshu must be hiding something. Even if he is not the murderer, he must be involved in this case."
"Of course, otherwise he wouldn't be in a hurry to let us leave." Su Zhen stroked her chin, "But I always feel something is weird. How can the spiritual energy on his body be heavier than the jade button itself?" This chapter has been completed!
