Chapter 1496
Liu'er saw something strange on King Qi's face, so he said to the maid: "If you think about it again, what are the characteristics of that man?"
The maid laughed, "Sir, didn't you say he was your friend? How come you don't even know who he is?"
King Qi took out the token of the Jingzhao Mansion and said in a deep voice: "I am from the Jingzhao Mansion. I am tracking down a gangster. I learned that he had been on the Huafang, so I came to check if there are any clues left.
Here, you just have to recall carefully what characteristics this person has."
Liu'er and the maid were shocked when they heard that they were from the government, and their attitudes immediately became respectful.
"Could this gangster be the one who killed Chun Niang?" Liu'er turned pale and said to the maid, "You have to think quickly. If the murderer is found, you can avenge Chun Niang."
Liu Er tried hard to recall, but still couldn't think of any characteristics, and said dejectedly: "The man is about forty or fifty years old, he doesn't look old, he has white hair on his temples, and he wears a jade ring on his hand. The rest,
I really can’t think of it.”
After King Qi came back from Xisu River, he went directly back to Jingzhao Mansion.
He sat in the study for a long time in despair, and only told the people outside that if the prince came back, he would ask the prince to go to the study to find him.
Yu Wenhao returned to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion around midnight. He learned that King Qi was waiting for him in the study, so he drank a pot of water and went to the study to look for him.
Seeing King Qi's pale face, he walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"
King Qi raised his head, even breathing was a little difficult, "Fifth Brother, I went to the Huafang today and picked up a piece of something from the Huafang. Take a look."
With trembling hands, he took out the black iron plate from his arms and placed it on the table. Then he quickly retracted his hand, as if the iron plate was burning people.
Yu Wenhao glanced at it, and his expression suddenly changed. He suddenly reached out and looked for the engraving. When he saw the three characters, he was shocked.
"This Black Iron Brand was given as a reward by the Emperor's Grandfather when he was in court. It only cost five yuan in total." Yu Wenhao looked at King Qi, "Did you find it from the boat?"
"Yes, it turns out that Chun Niang's maid was ill on the eighth night of the Lunar New Year and did not go to serve her. Instead, she asked another maid to go. The maid said she picked up this iron sign that night."
King Qi looked at Yu Wenhao, stunned and confused, "Fifth brother, this black iron plate has three characters engraved on it. It belongs to my father."
Yu Wenhao immediately asked: "Who have you seen this brand before?"
"No." King Qi immediately shook his head, "How dare I show it to others? I came back immediately after taking the sign. I also drew a portrait of my father and showed it to the maid. The maid said it looked very similar, but she was not sure.
."
Yu Wenhao scolded angrily, "Are you crazy? How could you draw a portrait of your father and show it to them? Did you get that portrait back?"
"Took it and tore it up." King Qi's face turned pale, "Fifth brother, my father carries this piece of black iron with him, but how could he steal the military map? He wants the military map, so just give the order and call for people.
Just send it to the palace."
Yu Wenhao shook his head, "Not my father, but this person can contact my father at any time, and even steal the black iron sign that my father carries with me. He knew that we would go to the painting boat to investigate, so he asked the maid to give us the sign. He
He wants to prevent us from continuing the investigation, and at the same time warns us that he can contact the father, or even attack the father. This is an intimidation and threat."
"But, this sign is the maid..." King Qi thought for a moment and suddenly understood, "The maid was bribed. No, I have to go find her."
"You don't have to go in person, send someone to go. I'm afraid that the people on the boat will have been silenced by now." Yu Wenhao looked at him expressionlessly, "This is a game, Old Seven, you are in trouble.
