Chapter 472 Boots
Lin Tingkai guessed that the horse stool was evidence left by Lin Jinxiao and Chu Nanzhi and his wife who suspected that the Qi family had committed a crime. Now that the horse stool has been burned, let's see what they can do.
Looking proudly at the couple, Lin Tingkai smiled triumphantly: "Since Princess Pingning finds it ridiculous, she should apologize to the Qi family immediately and leave quickly, so as not to cause trouble here."
"There is no need to apologize, as long as Princess Pingning doesn't come to disturb my Qi family in the future, it will be regarded as burning high incense."
Qi Yuhuan despised Chu Nanzhi with hatred, and affectionately pulled Jiang Xueyi to signal: "Husband, let's go back."
"Wait a minute."
Lin Jinxiao looked at Chu Nanzhi's confident look, and gradually realized that she might not be relying on this horse stool to identify the murderer.
Thinking about the veil she showed herself today.
She picked so many comfrey roots on purpose, and brought some alum powder here, but that was definitely not her intention.
The gloomy eyes cast a deep glance at Jiang Xueyi, and he asked solemnly:
"Jiang Yushi, this king sent someone to check the movement of people in the city on the night of Zheng's accident. In the north of the city, apart from Zheng's carriage and Zheng Haichuan's passing through the city, there was also a pregnant woman who was in a hurry to invite her mother's family. Come here to take care of the delivery, no one has left Beicheng after the curfew, so I would like to ask where Jiang Yushi's family was that night?"
"I took a rest after sending my mother-in-law out of the house that night."
Jiang Xueyi replied seriously: "As for my wife, because of her nephew's imprisonment, she stayed in her aunt's room to appease her."
"good."
Qi Yuhuan curled her lips and said: "Since my nephew was imprisoned, my sister couldn't sleep all day long because of her grief. My husband specially asked me to take care of her. When we arrived at dawn, we found out that my mother's carriage had returned to the city by itself, but there was no one there, so we Hurry up and wake up the husband, then report to the police, and look around for mother's trace."
"very good."
Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao looked at each other and smiled, and asked with great interest: "So, before today, none of you have entered Cangshan Mountain?"
"Of course I haven't been there."
Qi Yuhuan rolled her eyes in disdain: "Whoever has nothing to do runs into the deep mountains and wild forests, and our family does not do dyeing business."
"Well, it's true."
Chu Nanzhi said again: "Then let me ask you again, how did you get the news that Wu Enrong changed to travel by water?"
"us."
Qi Yuhuan faltered for a long time and didn't know how to answer her, so he looked at Jiang Xueyi blankly.
Jiang Xueyi looked at the crowd and sighed: "Your Highness, I dare not hide it. Ever since my nephew had an accident, my mother-in-law sent people to the county mansion overnight to inquire about Wu Taishou's itinerary to Luyan Port. I felt bad when I learned that he had changed the water route. , that’s why I was in a hurry to see Taishou Wu.”
"So this is what Jiang Yushi is worried about."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him with a sinister smile: "I'm afraid Jiang Yushi doesn't know the secret between Mrs. Zheng and Taishou Wu?"
Jiang Xueyi's face was gloomy, and he blinked weakly: "It's the mother-in-law's private matter, and the humble job naturally has no way of knowing."
"Could it be that Jiang Yushi is not curious?"
Chu Nanzhi asked meaningfully.
After all, Jiang Xueyi is the confidant supported by the Tang family, so he naturally hopes that the Qi family can be attached to the Tang family.
In this way, after King Qinghe inherits the Datong, his official career will be more stable.
Seeing him today, it is obvious that the Zheng family is relying on the power behind the scenes to be Nandu Wang Lin Tingkai.
Now that the party struggle is in full swing, how could Jiang Xueyi let the Zheng family attach to Wu Enrong and Nandu Wang and provide them with financial resources.
Offending the Empress Dowager and King Qinghe, isn't that tantamount to digging his own grave?
Jiang Xueyi didn't know what she was trying to explain by nagging here for a long time, so she pursed her mouth sullenly: "If the princess comes to investigate the case, for the sake of the highnesses, the humble post can cooperate, and if I come here to chat, I will forgive the humble post." I can't accompany you anymore."
Lin Tingkai also lost his patience, shook his head and sneered coldly: "I didn't expect that the female detective of Luyan Port, who was rumored to be miraculous, would be such an absurd and nonsense person."
As he spoke, he glanced coldly at Lin Jinxiao, who looked calm: "What's even more absurd is that there are still people holding her like this, which is ridiculous."
Lin Jinxiao ignored his sarcasm, and replied calmly: "Why is the third uncle so anxious? Whether it is absurd or not, my princess will give everyone an explanation."
Chu Nanzhi didn't continue to play tricks anymore, looked down at the new boots on Jiang Xueyi's feet, and asked solemnly: "If you remember correctly, the boots on Jiang Yushi's feet were not these two days ago, why did you come back for several days? They haven’t been replaced yet, but today, when everyone is busy looking for Mrs. Zheng’s whereabouts, is there any leisure to exchange for a pair of newly made boots?”
"Princess Pingning, don't rely on the favor of King Pingning to be arrogant."
Lin Tingkai finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "Jiang Yushi is just changing his boots, you have to ask, you are really deceiving people like this, does he have to report to you every day?"
Lin Jinxiao was already extremely disgusted with the noisy temperament of this elderly uncle, his eyes gradually turned sullen, and he raised the hilt of his sword again: "My princess has her own way of handling cases, if the third uncle finds it boring You can leave."
Lin Tingyan also rolled his eyes helplessly at the third child, and reminded in a gentle voice: "Brother Wang, don't be anxious, you and I are here to listen, just be patient and listen to what the nephew and daughter-in-law have to say, don't interrupt him."
Chu Nanzhi felt much more heart-warming after listening to the middle-aged handsome man's words.
I don't know if he is an enemy or a friend, but I just hope that he will not become the enemy of himself and Lin Jinxiao in the future.
Otherwise, she really couldn't bear to plan against such a pretty face who is so fascinating to look at.
Casting a warm smile at him, Chu Nanzhi continued to look at Jiang Xueyi, waiting for his reply.
Jiang Xueyi's face was full of helplessness, and he didn't know why she asked such a boring question.
Qi Yuhuan glanced at Chu Nanzhi with a gloomy expression, and said dissatisfied: "It's just that Princess Pingning has to make such a fuss about changing a pair of boots. Since Princess Pingning loves the boots worn by her husband so much, I will ask someone to bring them to you." You check it out."
"Nonsense, what's so good about a pair of boots."
Jiang Xueyi scolded angrily, but Chu Nanzhi took the words disapprovingly: "Miss Qi is really right, today I want to check all the boots that Jiang Yushi replaced."
After finishing speaking, he ordered Li Ce to follow Qi Yuhuan to pick up the boots.
After the boots were brought, Chu Nanzhi took a closer look, and found that the boots had been wiped clean, and nothing unusual could be seen.
Fortunately, time is in a hurry, and it has not been washed with water.
Jiang Xueyi was extremely annoyed by her rudeness, and said loudly: "The princess asked what should be asked, and what should be inspected, what else can I say?"
"No hurry, no hurry."
Chu Nanzhi calmly stared at the few pairs of boots he had brought, and then looked at the shoes on everyone's feet, and said to Li Ce slowly: "Go to Guan Qi's mansion and prepare ten pots of hot water. I want to invite everyone to soak their feet."
