Chapter 534 Tribute Jade Pendant.

On the way back to the post house, Bao Zheng seemed to suddenly think of something, so he hurriedly said: "I think it must be that Du Quan who found out that the murderer killed someone, so he was killed, that is to say, he was killed." ”

After listening to Bao Zheng's words, everyone felt that this was very possible. Because, if Du Quan is the murderer who killed Ruyan Girl, then how could he be killed, is there two murderers? And that person killed Du Quan for his own safety?

This is obviously unlikely, killing a girl like smoke, why two people, then the only thing that can be explained is that Du Quan discovered the murderer's secret, and wanted to threaten the murderer with this, but was brutally killed by the murderer.

When everyone said these words, Hua Lang didn't say a word.

After returning to the post house from the whip shop, they all stayed in the post house and didn't go there until the evening, when Duan Suxing came to visit.

At that time, there was a touch of sunset in the sky, and the wind was soft, such a scenery suddenly reminded Hualang of the spring in Jiangnan, and he had not been back to Jiangnan for a long time.

Everyone sat down in the courtyard of the post house, and as soon as the wind blew, there were petals full of trees floating, and Hualang heard that Duan Suxing liked to plant flowers and trees, but he knew that Duan Suxing was not here to talk about flowers today.

Duan Suxing put the fish-shaped jade pendant on the table and said directly: "I have investigated clearly, this is a tribute jade pendant, there is this in the list of tributes in various places, but our royal Duan clan has never seen this jade pendant, it may have been taken away when the tribute was transported into the palace." ”

After listening to Duan Suxing's words, Hua Lang was very surprised and asked, "Can the tribute also be taken away?" ”

Duan Suxing was helpless for a while, and said: "This is also a helpless thing, every year various places send tribute, except for most of the tribute sent to the palace, the rest are divided by some officials, this is our tradition in Dali, in order to make these officials content, don't think about corruption." ”

After hearing these words, Hua Lang couldn't help but want to laugh, he had never heard of such a way to prevent corruption among officials, people are greedy people, and they will never be fed, and the more they let them do this, the more they don't know how to stop.

However, at this time, Hua Lang had no intention of thinking about this, and he asked a little eagerly: "Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can investigate clearly, who got this fish-shaped jade pendant in the first place?" ”

Duan Suxing sighed and said: "No one got this fish-shaped jade pendant, it stands to reason that such a precious thing is to be sent to the palace, but this jade pendant was not sent to the palace, so I think it must have been someone who did something in it when the tribute was sent." ”

"So someone is using some means to keep the fish-shaped jade pendant that should have been sent to the palace for himself?"

"That's right, that's true!"

After the two finished saying this, Wen Meng was suddenly puzzled: "Since this fish-shaped jade pendant is a thing of the palace, how could it fall into the hands of the girl like smoke?" ”

Wen Meng's question was not very difficult to answer, and after she finished asking, Yin Wuxian hurriedly said: "It must be that official who went to Le Yalou to find fun, and then gave it to Miss Ruyan." ”

At this time, Wen Yanbo shook his head again and again, and said: "It's right that the official who owns this jade pendant went to Le Yalou, but I think it's unlikely that it was given away, it should have been left in Miss Ruyan's room, otherwise how could Miss Ruyan only dare to hide it and not dare to wear it?" ”

After Wen Yanbo finished speaking, the others turned around again and again and said that it was extremely possible.

It's just that at this time, Bao Zheng raised another question, and said: "If it is lost, that official should know where Lu Dao is left, why doesn't he go to Le Yalou to look for it, I think if he goes to look for it, he will definitely be able to find the girl who is like smoke." ”

After Hua Lang finished speaking, Wen Yanbo was speechless for a while, and at this time, Hua Lang smiled: "What Brother Bao said is right, but there is a slight discrepancy, that is, the official went to find Miss Ruyan, but he did not ask for the jade pendant from Miss Ruyan, and he was threatened by Miss Ruyan." ”

When everyone heard this, they all immediately looked at Hua Lang, and at this time, Hua Lang looked at everyone and smiled calmly, and continued: "If the smoke girl is a woman in the dust, there must be a lot of people in contact, and there are a lot of things to know from these people, when she got this fish-shaped jade pendant, she may have known the origin of this jade pendant, or the official inadvertently revealed the origin of the jade pendant, when the girl Ruyan mastered the jade pendant, she felt that her future was suddenly brighter, She can use the jade pendant to threaten that official, so that the official must support Ruyan, until Ruyan girl becomes the top brand of Le Yalou, I think this is the reason for her sudden change in temper, after all, if a person has a backstage, his temper will be bigger. ”

After Hua Lang explained this, everyone nodded yes, and at this time, they also understood why the girl Ruyan was killed, she threatened an official with a jade pendant, then that official must be full of hatred for her, she must be looking for an opportunity to kill Ruyan, maybe that night he thought it was an opportunity, so he threw the whip of the turtle slave Du Quan and went to kill, but Du Quan found out, and killed Du Quan after the worst.

At this time, all the reasoning seemed to make sense, as if this was the way things were, and all they had to do was to find the owner of the fish-shaped jade pendant, which was not brought up by Hua Lang, and the crown prince Duan Suxing also thought of it.

It's just that when Duan Suxing said that the matter of finding the owner of the jade pendant was handed over to him, Hua Lang was not as happy as everyone imagined, just like Hua Lang felt that even if he found the owner of the jade pendant, he would not be able to know who the murderer was.

But no matter what, Duan Suxing still had to find the owner of the jade pendant.

When Duan Suxing left the post house, the sunset was over, and the wind blew faintly cool.

Hua Lang sat in the courtyard and looked at the petals of the tree that he couldn't name, and smiled faintly, he felt that it was time for this case to end, because he had already understood a little bit, but other than that, he had to figure out one more thing, and that was the problem of the folding fan that Miss Huiqiong had said.

If he wants to find out about this matter, he has two ways, one is to get rid of this matter to the crown prince Duan Suxing and let him investigate the matter of the fan, and the other is for Hua Lang to ask Miss Huiqiong, but if she is willing to say it, it is not necessarily.

When night fell, when the wind of late spring still subsided, Hua Lang turned around and returned to his room, when he went back to the house, Wen Meng was reading a book, it was a book of words, she read it with relish, as if she really wanted to be a woman with poetry and books.
