Lu Zhu smiled happily: "Thank you, Brother Lin, you are the best!"
Lin Xiaodong and Lu Zhu boarded the carriage back to Jiangji City.
On the other side, Chen Yuansi led the team back, met Masnian, and asked him: "What are you doing?"
Chen Yuansi smiled and said: "Someone came to Jinhai Tower just now.
It is said that a poor man stole a stone.
I took someone to see it, and who do you think this person is?"
"who?"
Masnian tilted his head.
"Lin Duhu! Miss Lvzhu is also here. The guy from Jinhailou also doesn't open his eyes. What happened to the poor man with a stone? He insisted on coming to report to the official. I took someone to take a look, and it turned out to be Lin Duhu. "
Chen Yuansi curled his lips and sneered: "That guy got a black nose and a swollen face. He is really asking for trouble!"
"Lin Duhu and Miss Lvzhu are going to Jinhai Tower to sell stones?"
Masnian felt strange.
"Yes, I sold it for five thousand taels of gold!"
Chen Yuan thought.
Masnian pretended not to care and nodded: "I understand, go ahead."
Chen Yuansi left, and Masnian quietly went to Master Shen's residence.
Master Shen's investigation reached a deadlock and he was drinking tea at his residence.
"Mr. Ma, come in and sit down. You can have a drink with me."
Shen Chengren asked Masnian to sit down next to him.
The two had a drink, and Masnian said, "Sir, I have something that I don't know whether to say or not."
Shen Chengren narrowed his eyes: "What's the matter?"
"I just think this matter is strange, so I came to inform Mr. Shen."
Masnian cupped his hand and continued: "My subordinates told me that Lin Duhu just took Miss Lvzhu to Jinhai Tower and sold a stone, earning five thousand taels of gold."
"Is there such a thing?"
Shen Chengren fell into deep thought.
"My subordinates saw it in person.
I just find it strange that Lin Duhu is a subordinate of the princess, so he doesn’t need to sell things for money, right?"
Masnian wondered.
Shen Chengren didn't care on the surface, and said easily: "Lin Duhu is a popular figure in front of the princess. When the princess is happy, she will reward Lin Duhu with some rare objects from the palace, and Lin Duhu will sell them for money. This is nothing. .”
Masnian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Yes, I just think that since I know about this matter, I should tell the adults."
"Well, I understand, come on, come on, have some tea."
Masnian left after two drinks. Shortly after he left, Shen Chengren went to the princess palace.
It was already afternoon and Lin Xiaodong left. Princess Xiyun felt empty and sat in front of the window, feeling depressed and doing nothing.
"Princess, Lord Ma just reported something to me."
Shen Chengren came in to see the ceremony, sat down and said.
"What's up?"
"Master Ma said that his men saw Lin Duhu and Miss Lvzhu selling stones at Jinhai Tower for five thousand taels of gold.
City Lord Ma said that since he knows about the matter, he should report it to me."
Shen Chengrendao.
Princess Xiyun nodded and explained: "The stone in Lin Xiaodong's hand was taken when we were picking fairy flowers with me. I know about this. Selling the stone is probably for food, clothing and housing."
Shen Chengren hesitated and said, "Princess, Lin Xiaodong is good at stargazing. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I always feel that things are not that simple."
Princess Xiyun straightened up: "You mean, he found the royal heir of the Yaowu clan?"
"It's a serious matter, so it's better to be cautious."
Shen Chengren looked at Princess Xiyun's face and reminded.
"Okay, let's go to Jinhai Tower now."
Princess Xiyun stood up.
Shen Chengren nodded: "I'll arrange a ride right away."
Princess Xiyun, Shen Chengren, Feng Xingyan and others came to Jinhai Tower.
Kaneko Minoru saw that the three of them were well-groomed and followed by guards. He hurriedly greeted them personally and saluted: "You three come to see the jewelry?"
Shen Chengren pointed at Princess Xiyun: "This is the current princess!"
Jin Zishi was so frightened that she trembled: "I've seen the princess before!"
Princess Xiyun said coldly: "Find a secluded place to talk."
"Yes yes yes!"
Kaneko took a few people up to the second floor and sat down in the room to talk.
Shen Chengren asked: "Did someone come to sell stones just now?"
Jin Zishi sweated: "Yes, yes, yes, Lin Duhu sold a piece of chrysoberyl."
"What kind of stone, let's take a look."
Princess Xiyun said.
Jin Zishi ordered his servants to bring the stones.
Princess Xiyun picked it up, looked at it, and said disdainfully: "There are several boxes of such stones in the Deep Sea Dragon Palace, and they are all over the floor."
Shen Chengren asked: "When Lin Duhu came, who did he see and what did he say?"
Jin Zimin wiped his sweat and said: "I have only met me, a clerk in the store, and our Mr. Palm Eyes."
"Mr. Palm Eyes?"
Princess Xiyun asked.
Jin Zishi thought for a moment and clapped her hands: "Zhang Lanyue! My name is Zhang Lanyue, Mr. Zhang Yan! After Lin Duhu talked to her, she suddenly said she wanted to leave, packed her luggage and left!"
Shen Chengren stood up: "Run away?
Where did you run to?"
Jin Zishi shook his head: "I don't know. She said it's almost winter and it's too cold in Xingfeng City. She wants to move to a warmer place or something. She probably went to the south."
"What did she and Lin Duhu say?"
Princess Xiyun asked.
Jin Zishi shook his head: "I don't know. I gave the money and collected the stones and left. They talked for a long time!"
"Take me to her room!"
Princess Xiyun also stood up.
Jin Zishi took Princess Xiyun and others to Zhang Lanyue's room.
The fragrance has not dissipated, and there is no trace of people.
"Damn! Just one step away!"
Shen Chengren punched the door frame.
Princess Xiyun looked around the room. It was decorated luxuriously and elegantly, and the owner had extraordinary taste.
"Go and notify Lord Ma, ask him to come in person, and at the same time send people to blockade the whole city. We must find this Zhang Lanyue!"
Shen Chengren said to the people around him.
Princess Xiyun asked Jin Zishi: "How much do you know about Zhang Lanyue?"
Jin Zishi shook his head: "I'm not sure, she said she came from Taichung City, and she used to be a salesperson in another jewelry store.
I saw that she had good eyesight, so I asked her to work for me.
Jewelry is a precious thing that is rare for ordinary people to see, and there are very few gentlemen like her who have seen the world."
"When did she come?"
Shen Chengren asked.
"About half a year ago."
"Who is with her?"
Princess Xiyun asked.
Jin Zimin thought for a moment and said: "There are many people around her, both men and women, who call her Fifth Miss.
Moreover, these people are not kind-looking and very fierce, so I dare not offend them."
"Do you know where these people are?"
Shen Chengren asked.
"I know! A month ago, one of Zhang Lanyue's uncles died, and I went there once."
Shen Chengren and Princess Xiyun exchanged glances and both thought that a month ago, it was when Wan Fangzhai and the Yaowu tribe came to Xingfeng City to investigate.
"You take us there."
Princess Xiyun said.
Shen Chengren thought for a while and said, "Wait until Master Ma brings someone here before going."
Masnian came quickly with a large group of people and said hurriedly: "I have sent people to blockade the whole city and are searching Zhang Lanyue from house to house. Princess, why do you want to arrest this person?"
"Don't ask. This person is of great importance. We must not let her escape. Bring someone with us."
