The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest

One piece of jewelry stood out in particular.

Song Siyao felt it looked familiar. She picked it up and took a look, and sure enough, it was Nan Hong Jin Xin.

"The Southern Red Brocade Heart is made by Wen Yu, and it is the only one of its kind in the world."

Song Siyao looked at Wei Hongjin and said, "Wen Yu has a habit of only making one of each of his works, so as long as we track down the person who bought this Southern Red Brocade Heart, we can find out the identity of the pawnbroker."

Wei Hongjin looked guilty, but deliberately raised her voice, "Song Siyao, why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I bought this jewelry you're talking about?"

"Did I say that?" Song Siyao retorted.

"Then why are you looking at me?" Wei Hongjin said angrily.

“I’ve looked at everyone here, and you’re the only one who asked me this. Princess Hongjin, what are you feeling guilty about?” Song Siyao looked at Wei Hongjin, attacking her psychological defenses.

Her aura was so powerful that Wei Hongjin's nerves snapped instantly. She panicked and stammered, "What do I have to be guilty about? Did you see it? Don't accuse me unjustly!"

Little did she know, her reaction was so obvious that everyone already understood what was going on.

However, there is a lack of empirical evidence.

Tracking down Nan Hongjinxin will take some time; this case is urgent, and we can't wait that long.

However, if there is no other way to determine the identity of the real culprit, even if this method takes a long time, we have no choice but to do it.

However, the speed of Tianji Pavilion has never disappointed Song Siyao.

Not long after Wei Hongjin finished speaking, Ting Han arrived and reported to Song Siyao, "Princess, the person who went to pawn the items has been found."

"Who?" Song Siyao asked.

“Caijiao, a maid from the Princess’s residence,” Ting Han said. “Princess, I have brought her here.”

"Bring him in!" Song Siyao said.

"Yes."

Tinghan brought Caijiao in. When Caijiao saw Wei Hongjin, she knelt down with a thud and cried out, "Princess, save me!"

"Song Siyao, why are you arresting my maid? If you have the guts, come at me!" Wei Hongjin demanded angrily.

"Don't worry, it'll be your turn soon," Song Siyao said in a cold voice.

"That's her! I remember now!" The pawnshop owner pointed at the bell pepper and said, "That day she pawned so many things, they all looked very valuable, and they were all hard-to-get items, so the shop assistants didn't dare to take them. I personally served her."

"I don't know what you're talking about," Bell Pepper pleaded desperately. "Princess, I'm innocent! You must save me!"

"You're innocent? If you're innocent, I, Zhang Laosan, will only ever lose at gambling my whole life!"

Zhang Laosan swore a vicious oath, looking at Caijiao with hatred, "You're the one who instigated us to kill my son and frame Princess Youfeng. You're the one who gave us those silver notes. If we can't live, you, the murderer, can't live either!"

Caijiao didn't dare look at Zhang Laosan at all, and she didn't know how to explain herself.

Wei Hongjin shouted, "What you're saying is all one-sided. What evidence do you have?"

She sneered, her tone mocking, "I know, you were all hired by Song Siyao, you all conspired to frame my maids!"

"Boss, I remember that a dead loan requires a signature and fingerprint. Do you have a copy?" Song Siyao asked.

"Yes, of course," the pawnshop owner quickly replied.

When Caijiao took so many things to the pawnshop, and the price was very low, he was afraid that Caijiao would change her mind, so he watched Caijiao sign and put her fingerprint on the document.

Moreover, he asked the bell pepper to add a sentence: "I pawned it voluntarily and will never go back on my word!"

Sure enough, something unusual must be going on. Such a valuable item is only worth a little silver.

He knew there must be something fishy going on.

"Someone, go to the pawnshop and fetch the account books!" Song Siyao ordered.

Soon, the yamen runners brought the account book and placed it in front of Song Siyao.

Song Siyao flipped through the ledger and pointed to the fake name left by Caijiao, saying, "A name can be faked, but handwriting cannot."

Bell Pepper thought she was very clever; she left a fake name in the ledger, so even if someone investigated later, they wouldn't be able to trace it back to her.

Little did they know that even the wisest person can make a mistake.

Moreover, she is not a wise woman.

"Caijiao, if you confess now, you can still get a lighter sentence. But if you wait until the handwriting comparison is done before you confess, it will be too late!" Song Siyao threatened Caijiao.

Bell pepper kept shaking her head, "It wasn't me! I didn't do anything! I'm innocent!"

"Song Siyao, stop trying to scare me. This princess is not afraid of you!" Wei Hongjin said arrogantly.

"Lord Chen, let's examine the handwriting," Song Siyao said.

"Yes, Princess." Chen Jiang ordered, "Someone, examine the handwriting!"

In just a short while, the handwriting comparison was completed, and the handwriting on the pawnshop's ledger was exactly the same as Caijiao's handwriting.

"Caijiao, what else do you have to say?" Song Siyao demanded.

"So what if the handwriting is the same? I'm short of money, so I had Caijiao take some things to pawn. I don't want outsiders to know that I'm short of money, so I had Caijiao leave a fake name. What's wrong with that?"

Wei Hongjin was still desperately trying to prove that "besides, what evidence do you have to prove that these banknotes are the same ones the pawnshop gave us?"

"We have records of this in our shop. Someone took a banknote from the shop before, and then claimed that the banknote was fake and came back to cause trouble. So we started keeping records of the banknotes we gave to customers. It's just that customers don't know about this habit," the pawnshop owner explained.

“That’s right! We got these silver notes from the pawnshop, but we’ve already spent them. As for who ended up with them, that’s none of my business,” Wei Hongjin denied.

“Princess Hongjin, we have already checked, and these silver notes have not been circulated in the market since they came into your possession,” Cang Yue said.

"Wei Hongjin, stop struggling! Confess!" Song Siyao said.
