Chapter 20 Catch the Thief
"Bold, do you know who is standing in front of you, allowing you to be so presumptuous!" Bai Zhi's face turned cold and she scolded loudly.
Eunuch Hu instantly shrank his neck and became silent.
Ye Yun glanced at Mr. Hu and said, "He didn't take the thing. Although the size of the palm prints is the same, the thickness of the finger bones is different. Compared with his finger bones, the ones on the silk handkerchief are thinner."
"In your opinion, who is this thief?" Eunuch Hu muttered unwillingly.
"Take me to where I lost my things."
Eunuch Hu glanced at Ye Yun and said reluctantly: "Yes, your honor, please come this way."
In his opinion, this noble man obviously wanted to help the child get away with the crime because of his young age. If he still couldn't find any evidence to prove the child's innocence when he got there, it would be interesting to see how the noble man would protect him!
Thinking like this, Eunuch Hu felt the wind at his feet and walked faster.
This place is not far from the scene of the incident, and we can reach it within a few steps.
Ye Yun put the silk handkerchief on the stone table and searched carefully around the stone table, and she really found the clue.
Under the stone pier on the left, there were a few yellow and white hairs scattered. Ye Yun twisted them up, looked at the things in his hands, and looked further along the position where the hairs fell. There was a piece of shallow grass over there, and at the end.
There is a forest.
Ye Yun stood up, looked down and headed towards Asakusa, and finally found a half-palm print covered by Asakusa. The shape was exactly the same as the one on the silk handkerchief.
Ye Yun raised his head and stared at the forest in front, with a smile on his lips.
"Angelica dahurica."
Hearing Ye Yun calling him, Bai Zhi hurried over to him. Ye Yun leaned into Bai Zhi's ear and whispered a few words. Bai Zhi responded and left immediately.
Eunuch Hu and others looked at the two masters and servants who were playing riddles, and they were all a little confused.
After a while, Bai Zhi came back with a brocade box. She opened the brocade box, took out two plates of fruits and placed them on the table, then stepped aside.
Ye Yun glanced at the crowd and said, "Everyone find a place to hide, and remember not to make any noise!"
Hearing this, everyone went to hide in the corner with doubts. Ye Yun glanced at the banyan tree diagonally opposite, jumped up, and in a few breaths, he was hidden among the branches and leaves.
After burning the incense, Ye Yun saw a yellow-white object swishing across the grass from a distance. In the blink of an eye, it squatted on the stone table. It first stared at the fruits on the table, then turned its head and looked around to determine its surroundings.
When no one was around, he quickly picked up a peach from the table and ate it happily.
Maybe he thought the peaches were delicious, so he ate them more happily. After a while, he ate all the peaches on the plate. When he saw this, the corner of Ye Yun's mouth curled up, and he calculated that the time was almost up.
Sure enough, just as Ye Yun expected, the wild monkey, who had been eating happily just now, froze, and then his whole body fell backwards without any warning, falling directly to the ground.
Seeing this, Ye Yun stared at her feet and got down from the tree. She walked to the wild monkey and looked at the sleeping wild monkey with interest. When she saw its bulging cheeks, Ye Yun smiled and squatted down.
With his body, he opened the wild monkey's mouth with his hands, stretched out his fingers and took it out. A blood-red gem rolled down the corner of the wild monkey's mouth and rolled to the ground.
Eunuch Hu hurriedly ran over and took the thing in his hand to examine it. After confirming that it was the one he lost, he was overjoyed and kowtowed to Ye Yun: "I thank you, noble man, for helping me find the ruby!"
"Now that there are witnesses and evidence, should you apologize to the child first?" Ye Yun glanced at Mr. Hu.
"What the noble man said is that the Za family misunderstood you!" Eunuch Hu immediately turned to look at the child, then turned back and said: "I dare you to ask your name, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness today!"
If he hadn't met this noble man today, according to the temperament of the Tongfei Empress, I'm afraid he would have shed his skin even if he didn't die!
"There's no need to repay your kindness." Ye Yun glanced at Mr. Hu and said, "In the future, using your brain more when encountering problems is the best way you can repay me."
After saying that, Ye Yun raised his feet and walked straight forward. Seeing this, Bai Zhi hurriedly kept up and said as he walked: "Princess, where are we going?"
The word "princess" stirs up a thousand waves.
Especially that child, when he heard what Bai Zhi called Ye Yun, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the retreating figure, his eyes filled with astonishment.
When everyone left, two figures walked out from behind the front corner, one old and one young. The younger man looked at the direction Ye Yun left, and suddenly chuckled: "Just now, Mr. Ji and I were still talking about Dali."
There is still a vacancy for the position of Shaoqing Temple, and I am troubled by the lack of candidates to recommend, but now it is a coincidence."
"What Su Xiang means is..."
The two looked at each other and then laughed in unison.
After a lot of trouble, Ye Yun returned to the banquet. Unexpectedly, the performance was still going on. Ye Yun suddenly felt bored and looked around the table in boredom. He happened to see Fu Qimo and Tong Ying leaving the table one after the other.
As if he thought of something fun, Ye Yun waved to Bai Zhi, who came over.
Ye Yun whispered a few words in his ear, and Bai Zhi nodded and quietly left.
"Is the imperial sister tired?" Yu Wenqian saw a hint of impatience on her eyebrows and couldn't help but expressed concern.
"I can't say I'm tired, I just feel like this banquet is a bit long." Ye Yun sighed and said truthfully.
Hearing this, Yu Wenqian smiled and said: "If you bear with me, this Miss Liu is the last one. It will be fast when she finishes playing this piece of music."
Ye Yun hummed, and picked up a piece of pastry to eat. However, when he saw the ruby placed on the corner of the child concubine's table, he paused. Thinking of the time he had used his hands to dig out the wild monkey's mouth, Ye Yun's lips twitched.
He skimmed it and put the snack back intact.
The banquet came to an end with Ye Yun's great anticipation. Among the thousands of flowers, the child concubine chose Jiang Nanyu, the legitimate daughter of Jiang Yan's family, the Minister of War.
"In this performance, Miss Jiang's piano music is undoubtedly unparalleled. According to my opinion, Miss Jiang should be the leader. Come, give Miss Jiang the lottery and this ruby that were previously decided."
Hearing this, Jiang Nanyu hurriedly stood up and thanked her: "I would like to thank the Concubine Tong for the reward."
Concubine Tong smiled and said: "You're welcome, I like you very much. If you have nothing to do, you can always come to Yuxi Palace to sit and talk with me."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present instantly understood that Jiang Nanyu would be the third prince's concubine before long!
Jiang Nanyu naturally understood the meaning of Concubine Tong's words, and was overjoyed at the moment. Ever since she followed her father into the palace and met the third prince in the back garden, she had secretly expressed her love for him. For so many years, she has been burying this love in her heart.
Deep down in her heart, she didn’t dare to tell others, but she didn’t expect that today’s song would actually make her dream come true!
Thinking like this, Jiang Nanyu quietly raised her head and looked at Yu Wensuan who was diagonally opposite, but she didn't know that Yu Wensheng was also looking back at her.
Their eyes met, Jiang Nanyu hurriedly looked away, her ears were burning, and she bowed to the child concubine Yingying with a shy face: "Yes, I have written it down."
After the business was done, Concubine Tong had no intention of sitting down anymore, and hurriedly left the table on the grounds that she felt unwell. As soon as Concubine Tong left, no one was willing to sit still, and they all left the table in twos and twos.
