Jewelry, gold and silver, calligraphy and paintings...

These were searched from Yu Shu. Wen Yan checked them one by one and found that they were all normal objects without any mechanisms.

"Yu Nian, you are familiar with Yu Shu. Do you think there is anything wrong with these things?" Wen Yan asked.

Yu Nian raised his head from the account book, rubbed his tired eyes, and looked at the things in front of Wen Yan. After a while, he said, "There is nothing wrong... I just didn't know he liked jewelry so much before. As for these calligraphy and paintings, they were painted by him on weekdays, and he usually cherishes them very much."

Your own calligraphy and paintings?

Wen Yan took it. There were five volumes in total, all of which were landscape paintings. The signatures and paintings were very ordinary.

Although she felt something was wrong, Wen Yan couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while. She asked him again, "Is there something wrong with the account book?"

Yu Nian sighed, "Lu Cang has been in charge of the account book these years. Although my father and I check it every month, we haven't found anything wrong. This time is no exception. The income of the chicken farm was normal every month before, but the amount increased dramatically this month."

"The fake salt permits can be said to be extremely profitable. My uncle's family did business here for a few months and they were able to afford a big house when they returned. Lu Cang has been doing this business for so many years. Haven't you ever noticed any changes in him?"

Yu Nian couldn't help pacing back and forth, trying to find some clues from his memory.

Suddenly he stopped walking, frowning, "I saw him wearing a jade hairpin once. The hairpin was of very good quality, and it must have cost a lot of money."

"I asked him about it at the time, and he told me that it was a gift for his lover. I asked him why he didn't marry her, and Lu Cang said that it was impossible for the two of them to be together in this life. Thinking about it carefully, this was the only time he showed a relatively valuable item on his body."

Wen Yan: "What does the jade hairpin look like?"

Yu Nian took out a piece of paper and traced the shape of the hairpin.

The more Wen Yan looked at it, the more familiar it seemed to her, as if she had seen it somewhere before... Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she immediately grabbed the picture and went to find Yu Qian'er.

"Sister Yu!"

Yu Qian'er was still searching the house, but had no results. When he saw Wen Yan, he immediately waved, "How is it? Any clues?"

Wen Yan showed her the style of the hairpin: "How is it? Have you seen it before?"

"Looks so familiar..." Yu Qian'er frowned, and soon a look of shock flashed across his eyes, "What is this picture?"

"The jewelry that appeared on Lu Cang. Sister Yu, you also think you have seen it at Lingzhu's place, right?"

"It's not a feeling, I'm sure." Yu Qian'er clenched the paper, her heart was in turmoil, "I've seen it on her head before, but at that time I just thought the hairpin looked pretty, so I paid more attention to it. It turned out to be a gift from Lu Cang?!"

The water behind this is much murkier.

Wen Yan patted Yu Qianer's shoulder and said, "I think I know where Lu Cang's things are hidden."

On the other side, the county magistrate’s mansion.

He Yang hadn't met Wang Jiu for three days. He didn't know what the commander was thinking, and he didn't even ask about the progress of such an important matter.

But He Yang knew that he was not clean. One night, he came to Ling Zhu. After some twists and turns, He Yang whispered: "Is there anything between you and Lu Cang that I don't know? If anything is exposed, we will all die, understand?"

"What could possibly happen between him and me?" Ling Zhu said coquettishly. She just played with his heart. Men would fall in love with her one after another as long as she beckoned him.

"Really?" He Yang pinched her chin and asked again, "Do you know that if they find any clues about Lu Cang, we will all be finished!"

"Sir, Lingzhu really doesn't know. I'm just passing on the message. If you're worried, just kill Lu Cang. He's just a small housekeeper."

"Do you think I don't want to? The Royal Guards are watching here! If I make any move, they will notice it!"

Although Lingzhu said there was no other intersection, He Yang still planned to investigate further. If he found any evidence related to him, he would destroy it immediately. He Yang thought for a while, then got up and put on his clothes.

Lingzhu was about to fall asleep, and rubbed her eyes sleepily: "Master, where are you going so late?"

"Don't worry."

After He Yang left, Ling Zhu opened his eyes, his eyes were clear. Either the entire Yu family should be executed, or the county magistrate's fault should be found out and he should be removed from office. What's the point of putting the blame on a loser? Lu Cang was really useless. With such a good opportunity, he actually played himself into trouble.

Thinking of this, Lingzhu planned to add fuel to the chaos in Kangmen County.

The next day, Wen Yan and her friends took the collected evidence to the county government office. Unexpectedly, they heard the news as soon as they went out: Lu Cang was dead!

He was poisoned to death!

When they arrived, Lingzhu was kneeling in the court, along with an unfamiliar jailer.

Wang Jiu was rarely seen wearing his official uniform, and he looked at the people kneeling on the ground expressionlessly. His eyes moved around, and when he saw Wen Yan rushing over from the crowd, some joy appeared in his eyes.

"Master He, do you plead guilty to what Ling Zhu said?"

He Yang didn't expect that in the end, the one he was least prepared for was actually his favorite concubine! He was furious and sat up from the stool beside him: "Lingzhu, I have been very kind to you! Why did you frame me!"

"My lord, I didn't!" Ling Zhu cried, "Didn't you hint to me last night to get rid of Lu Cang? Now that the truth has been revealed, you just confess the crime with me. We can still be a ghost couple in the underworld."

With his mouth full of twisted ideas, He Yang's chest was pounding and he almost vomited blood.

Wang Jiu glanced at a few people and asked, "Lingzhu, tell me, why did the county magistrate want to kill Lu Cang?"

Ling Zhu said righteously, "Commander Wang, I didn't want to tell you at first. After all, I am the county magistrate's man. I have been serving him for so many years. Even if the county magistrate doesn't like me, at least I have worked hard for him. But he doesn't care about my life or death at all, so I don't need to hide it for him anymore."

He Yang had a bad premonition in his heart, and pointed at Ling Zhu and cursed: "How dare you! How dare you say that!"

Ling Zhu sneered, "The fake salt permit incident has nothing to do with the Yu family, it was done by the county magistrate! I was also coerced to pass the message between the two!"

The people who were listening outside were in an uproar.

Yu Qianer frowned, grabbed Wen Yan's clothes and asked, "Why are they biting each other? Do we still have to hand over our evidence?"

According to the current situation, the person who committed the most heinous crime is He Yang, the county magistrate of Kangmen County. The most important thing is that if He Yang falls, it will be a victory for the King of Chu.

In that case, Wen Yan curled her lips and said that she would not go as they wished.
