"I remember it seemed to be golden, so I spotted it right away. I realized then that it wasn't actually a dung cart. If it was a dung cart, it wouldn't be so exquisite," Fang Zheng said.

Guan Ning narrowed his eyes. This was very useful information. If the source could be traced, it would definitely be a major breakthrough in the case.

"okay, I get it."

"Any other clues?"

Fang Zheng thought for a moment and said, "They were dressed very similarly, but I can't remember anything else."

Guan Ning nodded. They were dressed in the same way, so it was likely that they were organized and would not be fighting alone.

"This hundred taels is yours. From today on, don't go home or show up. Go stay at Guan's mansion. It's safe there. Once the storm has died down, I'll let you go. How do you do that?"

Fang Zheng was overjoyed: "Sir, the Guan Mansion you are talking about is the Guan Guogong Mansion?"

Guan Ning nodded.

Fang Zheng was immediately excited: "So, you are Prince Guan?"

"Is there another person named Guan Ning in the capital?" Guan Ning smiled.

Fang Zheng finally realized that this person was actually the Guan family's heir. "Okay, okay, I'm willing to go!"

"I've heard for a long time that the Guan family is kind and generous, and is the best family in the capital!"

"I am willing to listen to you, my Lord!"

Guan Ning smiled and helped him up.

"Let's go."

"Yes!"

Yuwen Hong, who was following behind, remained silent, walking in the night, feeling inexplicably deep.

Fang Zheng's attitude just now touched him a little. Whether it was the Imperial Guards or the Ministry of Justice, the people were afraid of them, but they were disrespectful. Although he hated Guan Ning, as far as he knew, the Guan family had a very good reputation.

At this moment, he actually wondered if he had any prejudice against this young man?

Thinking of this, he shook his head violently.

What am I thinking? I am His Majesty's servant. This man is used by His Majesty, but also suspected by His Majesty. My job is to supervise him.

"..."

Return to Guan Mansion.

Guan Ning immediately found some blueprints and drew more than a dozen of them, which he then handed over one by one to Fang Zheng for identification. With his recollection and hints, he continued to improve and finally drew a logo that was almost 90% accurate.

This is a symbol similar to a phoenix, which is very special.

Guan Ning went to Lou Xinyue, Luo Zhongtian and others one after another, but they had been in the martial arts world for so many years and had seen a lot, but they had never seen such a sign.

Finally, he went to Chen Wanjin's yard.

"Why are you back so late?" Chen Wanjin was already getting ready for bed. She was wearing a plain long skirt and had her hair tied up in a bun. She came up to help Guan Ning take off her clothes.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "I'm doing some work outside."

"By the way, have you seen this?" After all, Chen Wanjin had been to the palace, and of course Guan Ning was just trying his luck.

Chen Wanjin looked at him carefully with her bright eyes for a few seconds, and was about to shake her head, but suddenly hesitated.

"This one……"

"I think I've seen this somewhere."

When these words were spoken, Guan Ning was startled and his eyes widened. Do you really know him?

"you sure?"

"Madam, think about it carefully!" he exclaimed.

Chen Wanjin's cheeks turned red. She was caught off guard by the call of "wife", but she soon fell into deep thought, looking at the mark on the rice paper, standing quietly for a long time.

Suddenly, her face changed.

"what!"

"I remembered."

"This symbol is a totem of the clan government!"

"I've seen similar totems on the carriages of concubines taken away by the Imperial Clan Court in the harem."

Zongrenfu?

Guan Ning was surprised. Isn't that the place where the royal family was supervised and dealt with? It was also an extremely famous place. If you entered there, no matter if you were a prince or a concubine, you would most likely die a miserable death.

How could this place be related to Chen Tu's case? They are two completely unrelated entities. The Ministry of Clan Affairs only supervises the royal family.

"Guan Ning, what's wrong?"

"Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Guan Ning came back to his senses and smiled, "Nothing, just curious."

Chen Wanjin felt something was wrong, but she didn't ask any further questions.

"By the way, why hasn't Xiaotu come lately?"

"Did you hear what he was doing?"

Guan Ning was startled and immediately said, "Maybe the Censorate has been very busy recently. Don't look down on him because he is a lowly official, but he has a lot to do."
