Who put the yellow robe on me?

After a while, the painter was called over and the man in black began to describe the appearance of the general.

The painter's pen moved rapidly, and soon, a portrait of a military general appeared vividly on the paper.

"It's him." Lin Hu looked at the portrait and confirmed with his last bit of strength.

Bai Binggong looked at the portrait, thought for a moment, and said coldly: "Very good. We will send people to wait at the entrance of the inn at the north gate of the capital tonight. We will definitely wait for this general."

"Master Bai!" Jiang Chen frowned slightly and expressed a different opinion, "I'm afraid that if we go now, the man in black won't show up anymore."

"Oh? Why does Your Highness the Sixteenth Prince say that?" Lord Bai Bing was confused.

"Lord Bai, Lin Hu has been arrested for failing to poison the people. Let's not talk about whether this general knew about it. If the refugees were not poisoned, this general might not have appeared." Xiong Zhiheng on the side seconded.

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he felt that the Ministry of Justice of Daliang Kingdom was full of trash.

"Ahem! Lord Xiong is right. After Lin Hu is captured, this general will not appear again."

Bai Binggong casually took out the portrait painted by the painter and pondered for a long time.

"Come here, copy this portrait several times and post it on the bulletin board in the capital! Anyone who sees this person will be rewarded for reporting him!"

Jiang Chen thought that this Ministry of Justice, under the leadership of this Minister of Justice, was becoming increasingly useless. He then said to Bai Binggong:

"Master Bai, could you please give me a copy of this portrait?"

"Yes! Yes! Of course! But does His Highness Sixteen know this person? What's the use of this?"

"No, Lord Bai, I don't know this person, but there may be someone in the palace who knows him."

"Oh? Know him in the palace? Is this person from the palace?" Bai Binggong looked puzzled.

"Maybe...right? I plan to take it to the Ministry of Personnel and ask them to help check whether there is such a person in the palace." Jiang Chen glanced at Bai Binggong, turned to Xiong Zhiheng and said.

"Why did His Highness the Sixteenth Prince take it to the Ministry of Personnel? How do you confirm that this person is from the imperial palace?" Bai Binggong was even more confused.

"Mr. Xiong, can you explain it to me?" Jiang Chen asked Xiong Zhiheng.

Bai Binggong turned to look at Xiong Zhiheng. Xiong Zhiheng recalled the whole process, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He said:

"Master Bai! Sixteenth Prince! Just now, Lin Hu said that the general told him that if there was a fire in the palace at midnight, then he should go to the south gate of the capital and poison it. So how did this general know that there was a fire in the palace?"

"There are only two possible scenarios. The first is that this general is not from the imperial palace. If he is not from the imperial palace, he could have gone to the south gate of the capital and poisoned the person himself. There is no need to ask someone else to do it."

"If he hires Lin Hu to do this again, once Lin Hu is arrested, wouldn't that expose him?"

"Then there is only one possibility, that is, this general is a member of the imperial palace. After setting the fire that day, he was unable to leave the palace, so we need to hire Lin Hu to poison the South Gate!"

"Your Highness the Sixteenth! Lord Bai! This is just my own guess. I don't know if it's accurate."

"Very good! Very good! Mr. Xiong is a great talent!" Jiang Chen clapped his hands and expressed his thoughts.

"Hehehe...right? Lord Xiong is a capable man in my Ministry of Justice!" Bai Binggong smiled awkwardly but politely.

"Hahaha, Lord Bai, with talents like Lord Xiong, the Ministry of Justice will surely prosper under your leadership!" Jiang Chen's heart moved and he smiled sinisterly.

While they were talking, the painter quickly painted another portrait of the general.

Jiang Chen picked up the portrait and said to Bai Binggong, "Master Bai, I will take this portrait to the Ministry of Personnel to try my luck. You should stick to your original plan and post it outside the city wall gate."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Sixteenth Prince!" Lord Bai Bing clasped his hands together.

After leaving the Ministry of Justice prison, Jiang Chen felt that there was a glimmer of hope in the whole incident.

He went straight to the Ministry of Personnel, hoping to find out the identity of this military general as soon as possible.

On the way to the Ministry of Personnel, there was a picturesque garden with fragrant flowers, but Jiang Chen had no intention of appreciating it at the moment.

At this moment, he heard a gust of wind, and saw the Thirteenth Princess Jiang Sirou flying out lightly, with the wooden sword in her hand stabbing Jiang Chen.

"Little thief, where are you running to? I want to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens!"

Jiang Chen was embarrassed. It was the same familiar scene again. He quickly took a step back, raised his hand and gently pushed the wooden sword away, skillfully avoiding it.

Jiang Sirou landed slowly, smiling brightly: "Sixteenth brother, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Jiang Chen smiled helplessly: "Thirteenth sister, please stop making trouble. I have a clue about the man in black, and I am about to go to the Ministry of Personnel to investigate the case."

He Xiaowei also came out from behind the flowers at this time, her eyes full of concern: "The Ministry of Personnel is investigating the case? Your Highness, what exactly happened?"

Jiang Chen told the whole story of what happened in the Ministry of Justice prison, the interrogation of the man in black, the portrait painter, Xiong Zhiheng's talent, etc.

He Xiaowei listened intently, her eyes full of admiration: "Your Highness, your mind is so strong, it is really admirable."

Jiang Sirou waved her hand impatiently: "Alright, alright, you two can spend some time alone together sometime. Sixteenth brother, let me take a look at the portrait first to see who it is."

He Xiaowei pursed her lips slightly, and Jiang Chen chuckled.

When Jiang Chen opened the portrait, Jiang Sirou's pupils suddenly contracted and she exclaimed, "Is it him? This person... this person..."

He Xiaowei was startled by Jiang Sirou's reaction: "Sister Rou, what's wrong? Have you seen this person?"

"Yeah!" Jiang Sirou nodded firmly.

"Are you sure? Where have you seen him?" Jiang Chen looked stunned.

Jiang Sirou frowned and thought, then shook her head: "I don't know where exactly, but I must have seen it in the palace."

He Xiaowei said softly, "If that's the case, then it confirms His Highness the Sixteenth Prince's suspicions. This man in black must be inextricably linked to someone within the palace."

Jiang Sirou nodded and said resolutely: "Then let's go to the Ministry of Personnel together and check whether there is such a person."

The three of them immediately rushed to the Ministry of Personnel.

When he arrived at the entrance of the Ministry of Personnel, the Minister of Personnel Wu Gongjin was standing at the door.

Wu Gongjin smiled and saluted: "Your Highness the Sixteenth, Princess Jingyi, Miss He, how come you have time to come to the Ministry of Personnel?"

The three of them looked at each other, all feeling a little confused, as if Wu Gongjin was waiting for someone at the door.

Jiang Chen said, "Minister Wu, we came to the Ministry of Personnel to check whether a person is from the palace." Jiang Chen briefly explained his purpose.

Wu Gongjin said, "Oh, I see. Your Highness, please come into the hall so we can take a closer look."

The three followed Wu Gongjin into the main hall, and Jiang Chen handed the portrait to Wu Gongjin.

After taking the portrait and examining it carefully for a moment, Wu Gongjin shook his head and said, "This person looks unfamiliar. I don't think I've seen him before."

He turned and instructed the Right Assistant Minister Sun Wenzhao, "Go and search the archives one by one to see if there is anyone who resembles this portrait."

"Yes! Your lord!"
