Chapter 324, see the fragments again

Zhou Xian followed Chi Shi's gaze and felt soft, "A Shi is really hard-mouthed. Do you obviously think that Aunt Bai and Aunt Wei are very pitiful. Jiang Chang is so innocent that he will say that?"

"The law is nothing more than human kindness. Don't worry, Lord Xia of Jingzhao Prefecture is not a cruel and ruthless person, he will decide it for himself."

Chi Shi looked at the grass. It was too many people watching there before. Even the grass was stepped on as if it was three inches shorter. The dead boat floated on the shore. Don’t let the holes she made with stones, it could still emit light.

"If I do it again, I will find out without hesitation who is the murderer who killed Jiang Chang."

Chi Shi said softly, "So, I don't have the right to say some sympathy and beautiful words. Many people talk about human feelings, but because of the coldness of law, I said it for it."

Zhou Xian reached out and patted Chi's head. He took out a honey kumquat from his sleeve bag, "Do you eat another one? I used to put two in bed, seeing you like to eat."

Kumquats are born south of the Yangtze River and are only eaten in autumn and winter. Now, the tabletops are covered with white frosted sugar, sour and sweet. After eating them, they moisten the lungs. Recently, the kumquat style has blew up in the capital. Many high-ranking officials and nobles have this sweet fruit on their desktops.

Chi Shi picked up one, with a strange look on his face and stuffed it into his mouth, "Don't you know? This thing is transported by my mother. It is cheap in the south and expensive in the north. The south has a good harvest last year, and no one wants it in the soil."

"My grandma asked someone to make it, and it was delivered to the Northland area, and it became a good thing for guests. When I was a child, I especially liked to eat fresh ones, with sweet skin and sour meat."

Zhou Xian also took one and stuffed it into his mouth. He gave Chi Shi a thumbs up, "You deserve your mother to make money!"

As he was talking, he saw Chi Shi reaching out to him. He smiled, "Are we both eating and taking food? You don't have to take what Guan Yi said before, I have no intention of choosing a concubine."

Chi Shi said "Oh" and "Look at this."

She said, spreading her palms...

Zhou Xian had kumquats in his mouth, and his words were a little confused. His face suddenly changed. He looked around with caution, took out a handkerchief from his arms, covered Chi Shi's palm, and carefully took the thing over.

This is a small piece of broken jade bracelet.

The pieces of jade bracelet he got from the relics of the old palace man who was swallowed by a tiger in Youhai were obviously of the same origin.

Because it was related to his mother's death, he didn't know how many times he had observed it, and that sense of familiarity was simply engraved into his bones.

"Where did you come from?" Zhou Xian asked anxiously.

Chi Shi continued to walk, but he lowered his voice, "The beads on your body fell off and rolled to the feet of Aunt Wei. When I went to pick up the beads, she stuffed them into my hands when the person was not paying attention."

"I was confused before, and I don't know what she meant. When I was eating mandarin fish, I saw kumquats from the south, and I remembered the fragments of jade bracelets you showed me in Youhai."

"I asked Officer Cao and Corsair Su to take Aunt Wei away, and I was thinking that there were other secrets in her."

Seeing Zhou Xian's face was surprised, Chi Shi curled the corner of his mouth, "Didn't you expect it? We two cooperated and just took that bead, you went to catch the water ghost, but there were smarter people who seized the opportunity and gave it..."

Zhou Xian nodded, tightened the pieces of jade bracelet in his hand, glanced around with his own light, and saw that there was no suspicious person, he quickly stuffed the handkerchief into his arms.

"When I go back, I will take it out for comparison. Now let's go to Jingzhao Mansion and hear what she said."

Chi Shi nodded softly.

Zhou Xian quickly led the two horses. The two black and white horses were eating grass under the trees by the river, which was a full meal.

"By the way, this white horse is for you. Sometimes, if you don't want to go out, or if you want to go farther, you will ride a horse."

Chi Shi touched the horse's back, turned over and jumped up.

The white horse and Zhou Xian's dark horse were rubbed against each other, and just now heading towards Jingzhao Mansion, one after another.

At night, Jingzhao Mansion is only on the other side of Hua Street, which is very lively. Most of the alleys are deserted, and ordinary people are reluctant to light lamps and waxes. Most of them are working from sunrise to sunrise and resting.

After galloping for a while, he arrived in front of Jingzhao Mansion. Chi Shi and Zhou Xian went straight into the room. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the large coffin parked in the yard and the Su Corps that was covering the coffin with felt.

"Why did your highness and Ashi come? Because you have found out the case, I have finished writing the autopsy file, and Lord Xia will open the court to hear the case tomorrow. It's too late, and the others have already gone back."

Chi Shi nodded, "Where is that Aunt Wei? I'm worried that the Jiang family will be unfavorable to her."

Su Corsair smiled and blinked at Chi Shi, "Ashi is like your father. Because the case is unknown, whether she is an accomplice is still to be questioned, so I put her in prison with Aunt Bai and her uncle."

"The prison of Jingzhao Mansion is a mere Jiang family who can't reach out to you no matter what."

Su Jie said, taking a key from his waist and throwing it to the Chi, "Go away, there are prison guards below, they know His Highness the King of Chu. I have covered the coffin and are about to leave. You will go back early, and the wind will rise tonight, and it will rain."

Chi Shi and Zhou Xian looked at each other, and without explaining too much to Su Guo, he took the key and entered the dungeon.

Aunt Wei was locked in a separate cell, clean inside, with fresh dry straw on the stone bed, and all the quilts and tables. It was separated from other prisoners from the other prisoners. At first glance, someone had specially explained it.

She was not surprised at all when she saw Chi Shi and Zhou Xian coming over.

"No one comes with you, right?" asked Aunt Wei. Her voice was still as sing as a child, but she was extremely calm. It was completely different from the scared and overwhelmed child she saw by the river before.

Zhou Xian nodded, "Who are you?"

Aunt Wei knelt down with a thud, "My servant is named Wei Yu. My mother once served the Empress in the palace. After the Empress passed away, the former emperor sent the nearby servants around the Empress out of the palace to show kindness."

"But as soon as they left the palace, they were intercepted and killed. My mother and two other aunts escaped, thanks to Lord Li's help. They suspected the cause of the Empress's death, which was related to the bracelet she often wore."

"But the situation was urgent at that time, and before they could even examine it carefully, they could only smash the bracelet, take one piece, escape in a different direction, and hide incognito. Wait for the opportunity to find out the truth."

Chi Shi frowned slightly when he heard this, "Why do you think that now is the best time?"

Aunt Wei sighed, "After my mother left the palace, she didn't dare to go back to Changzhou to find her uncle, so she went to Yizhou to marry. Last year, my parents died, and then my uncle took her to Changzhou. She didn't want to come to the capital..."
