Chu Nanzhi saw that he couldn't find any clues from the smell of fat powder remaining on the flesh, so he had to turn to the topic and said: "Master Taiwei has lived in the capital for a long time, has he heard anything about the art of disguise? He must be an expert in this field.
Bar?"
After all, this person had appeared in Beijing back then, so he was probably someone from the residence of a powerful person in Beijing.
Yin Sinian pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I have heard a little about the art of disguise, but it is rare to see someone who can actually distinguish the fake from the real."
The room gradually fell into silence, and everyone remained silent. The only sound was the slight whistling of leaves outside the courtyard.
After a long time, Yin Sinian suddenly raised his head and said in surprise: "I remember that when Emperor Chonghua was still alive, there was a maid from the North who paid tribute in the Weilan Palace of his favorite concubine Shangguan Rou. She was famous for her makeup skills in the palace.
, deeply loved by Shangguan Rou, it is said that this woman is quite proficient in the art of disguise. However, after Emperor Chonghua escaped from the world, this woman also disappeared with the death of Shangguan Rou, and there has been no news about her to this day."
"I see."
Chu Nanzhi suddenly understood: This person must be hiding somewhere, or perhaps being taken in by a noble person.
Yin Sinian looked at the small piece of meat skin in his hand and was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Could it be that the princess thinks that this person is the murderer of Erlang of the Lin family?"
"Not only that."
Chu Nanzhi answered truthfully: "I even suspect that this is the same person who instigated Lin Erlang to assassinate me and the disciples of the Qi family to assassinate the imperial envoy a while ago."
"She's just a palace maid, but she has such extraordinary abilities?"
Yin Sinian frowned in disbelief: "Is it just a coincidence?"
"I have a general understanding of Lin Erlang's temperament."
Chu Nanzhi took back the small piece of flesh from Yin Sinian's hand and said, "Why would he rather die than surrender to hide this small piece of flesh? I heard his wife say that yesterday he was preparing a sealing gift for me and my husband.
As he went out, I think he must have known the traces of the person who instigated him to go to Polo Temple to assassinate, so he followed him there."
Combined with the circumstances of Lin Jinhong's death, it was naturally the female assassin who had met him who could make him relax his vigilance.
Yin Sinian also began to agree with her point of view. He held his chin and said suspiciously: "The maid is from Weilan Palace. Could this matter have anything to do with His Highness the Sixth Prince?"
"I don't see it."
Chu Nanzhi bit her lip tightly, pondered for a moment, and slowly analyzed: "If it was Uncle Sixth Emperor who did it, there is no need for him to tell me that much information. Besides, I also heard that the people in Weilan Palace were not all.
When I returned to Prince Beibin's residence, I told him that Feng Yue and Feng Changshi who were with Concubine Yue had also joined the Tang family."
"Well, I'm afraid this Feng Yue is the person in front of the Queen Mother."
Yin Sinian stared at Chu Nanzhi, still recalling her previous words in his mind, and then said in detail: "After Shangguan Rou died of illness, some of the maids and chamberlains around her were incorporated into other palaces, and some of them were incorporated into other palaces.
Several people are missing. If I hadn't seen Princess Qian yesterday, I would never have thought that Feng Changshi was actually working for the Queen Mother."
"Since Feng Changshi can choose him to live in another house, then this maid who knows the art of disguise can also join other masters."
Combining the conjecture just now, Chu Nanzhi looked at Yin Sinian meaningfully and asked: "Please forgive me for being bold. Taiwei Yin has lived in the capital for many years and has a great reputation. What fear do you have in the hearts of the Taiwei?"
man of?"
"A fearful person?"
Yin Sinian glanced at her in confusion: "Why does the princess ask this question?"
"It's just a casual question."
Chu Nanzhi curled her lips casually and said with a smile: "I, after investigating so many cases, I often encounter obstacles. Just like those eldest princesses in Nanhua Temple before, I almost lost all my efforts. I will try it later.
During Wu Enrong's case, if Chang Lao hadn't come up with the secret decree authorized by His Majesty, I would have almost lost my ability to deal with him."
"Ahem, Princess, you don't have to take them seriously, just do everything fairly and have a clear conscience."
Yin Sinian suddenly realized that she seemed to be giving him instructions, and then he began to answer her questions seriously: "There are quite a few people that I am afraid of in Jinling City, although I can barely be the Queen Mother.
She is somewhat favored, but after all, she cannot go against her wishes, so the people she fears the most and the ones she respects the most are of course the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty."
Although he also mentioned His Majesty, Chu Nanzhi could feel that the only person he feared the most in his heart was the Empress Dowager.
I'm afraid everyone in the court, no matter which faction they belong to, must respect this old man openly.
From this point of view, could it be that the person whom King Beibin mentioned that he could not afford to offend was actually the Empress Dowager?
It shouldn't be like this.
Although I have never met her, I always feel that I have been in close contact with her for a long time, and even have a feeling of sympathy and sympathy with her. How could she send someone to murder me if there is no grievance or enmity?
Even if she wants to kill herself, she can just find any excuse. Why go to such trouble and let herself know many confidential things.
Something is wrong, there must be something wrong.
Could it be that Uncle Six Emperors really shouted to catch the thief?
This is even more impossible.
If he wants to win over Lin Jinxiao, he has to rely on himself to deal with the situation. It won't do him any good if he hurts my mother.
Chu Nanzhi frowned in distress.
Just at this moment, the voice of an old servant sounded outside the door: "My lord, Princess Wanying wants to see you. She said that your lord is about to return to the capital, and she came here to see you off."
"Ahem, this little princess is really greedy and tight-lipped."
Yin Sinian complained with some dissatisfaction: "I have been here in Luyan Port for two days, and only now did she know that she came to see me as her uncle."
After saying that, he quickly told Yin Liuxuan beside him: "Hurry up and greet us."
Yin Liuxuan left in response, and Chu Nanzhi immediately came to his senses, bowed his body and said, "Since Princess Wanying wants to see you, I won't disturb you."
"Hey, Princess is not an outsider. Since you know His Highness's life experience, you should also call Princess Wanying your cousin. Why do you need to be so unfamiliar with her?"
Yin Sinian forced her to stay, sat down together, and begged sincerely:
"The child Wanying is also pitiful. Duke An Guo died in battle shortly after he married Princess Yanjun. He left behind Princess Yanjun, Princess Wanying and their daughter. Although the Empress Dowager has treated them with love and affection these years,
Plus, Wanying has lost her father's love since she was a child, which makes her a little more withdrawn. Yesterday, I heard Mrs. Ji say that she is very close to His Highness and the Princess. If she stays here, she will have to trouble the Princess.
Just take care of it more."
"Oh, is it so?"
Chu Nanzhi was slightly stunned. She did like to get close to the pretty boy, but did she really want to get close to her?
Not wanting to disobey the old lieutenant, Chu Nanzhi could only pretend to obey and replied: "The little princess is indeed very smart and lovable. Even if the lieutenant doesn't say anything, I should take good care of her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Liuxuan led the three masters and servants of Ji Wanying and strolled in.
That small and graceful appearance, if it weren't for the little tricks he likes to do all day long, would really look like a pitiful little thing, and he can't help but make people feel pity for him.
