It was Xu Shuyan! Lu Chengfeng immediately thought of the young man holding a folding fan!

That was Xu Mengzhang, the son of Old Master Xu's family. Last night he wanted to have a poetry contest with him, but the result was that they didn't get to know each other.

He originally wanted to visit Old Master Xu at his house, but when he heard Xu Shuyan, he was the witness of the time. It was like a happy rain coming from the sky, and a sweet rain after a long drought! He walked out with a meteoric stride!

Wu Jingmo saw that the search and interrogation at Tianxiang Tower was almost complete, and he couldn't find anything new after further questioning, so he followed closely.

As he walked, he waved his hand and ordered:

"First take the suspect Xuanji back to Jingzhao Mansion and put her in jail to await trial!"

As soon as Lu Chengfeng heard Xuanji's name in front, and it was connected with the two heart-wrenching words "suspect" and "prison", he couldn't wait to turn around and glared at him:

"What kind of suspect! What kind of person is in jail! I've already asked you so clearly! The suspect is Xue Wu! Not Xuanji!"

Wu Jingmo looked apologetic but said plausibly:

"I know that Xue Wu's suspicion is indeed greater, and I have ordered a city-wide arrest. However, Xuanji has not been cleared of suspicion yet! The law does not tolerate mercy, and I only act in accordance with the law!"

Lu Chengfeng could actually understand that he was right to act in accordance with the law. It was because of his personal feelings that he was biased.

After all, he, Wu Jingmo, is not only the criminal detective on this case, but also the temporary chief officer of Jingzhao Mansion.

This case caused a bloodbath overnight and has already caused a sensation in the whole city! The eyes of both the common people and the civil and military officials of the court were all staring at him!

As the saying goes, there are three sparks for a new official to take office, and Wu Jingmo's first spark in his tenure was started by this case!

What's more, he has been so favored by King Xuan recently, so he needs to be more vigilant and establish his reputation and status in Jinghua City.

Although Lu Chengfeng felt sorry for Xuanji in his heart, he felt a little more relaxed when he thought that Xue Wu would be caught soon as the legal net was open and tight.

By the way, in the past two days, the city has been strictly restricted. If you want to leave Jinghua City, you must hold official registration, household registration certificate or a customs clearance certificate from the imperial court before you can leave the city.

And this Xue Wu is a brothel girl with no household registration and no ability to redeem her deed of prostitution. Even if she secretly consorts with the Cao gang, it is still very difficult to get out of the city!

Moreover, after misplacing the white horse carriage yesterday, he and Wu Jingmo were furious after returning to the city! All the guards who were guarding the gate at the time of the incident were all reprimanded and changed their posts.

Last night, as soon as Wu Jing and Mo Fu took office, the city gates were further strengthened. Not only were they questioned first, but they were also strictly searched. Only after repeated confirmation could they leave the city.

The current Jinghua City is heavily guarded, and the hoop is as tight as an iron barrel, not even a mouse can escape.

Therefore, Xue Wu can only remain in the city for now! He is just waiting for the good news that the soldiers will capture him in one fell swoop!

Moreover, as long as he finds Xu Shuyan, provides Xuanji with alibi, and uses a lancet to frame her, it will be self-defeating.

Lu Chengfeng thought about it, and his heart finally felt refreshed.

"Brother Chengfeng, the Xu Mansion has arrived." Wu Jingmo said slowly.

Old Master Xu's high-gate courtyard is also within the bustling and wealthy West City. It is not far from Yinghua Street and can be reached in just a few miles by car.

Lu Chengfeng and Wu Jingmo rode in a carriage, crossed the Yugou Bridge across both banks of the Ying River, arrived at the other side of Yinghua Street, passed through two neighborhoods, and arrived at the Xu Mansion.

This Xu Mansion, at first glance, looks like a place where literati and poets live. It is planted with orchids and bamboos. As soon as you step into the outer hall, you can already smell the refreshing fragrance of ink. After passing the outer gate, there is even more fragrance of books.

The room is full and the humanities are prosperous.

When Mr. Xu Shuyan and Mr. Xu met Lu Chengfeng and Wu Jingmo, they were greatly surprised!

Unexpectedly, we just met by chance yesterday and politely and humbly went to Mianwang Xifu to ask for advice. Today, Lu Chengfeng has already visited his house first!

"His Royal Highness's sudden visit made Xu feel extremely honored, and our house suddenly became full of glory!

After saying that, he realized that he seemed to have ignored Wu Jingmo in his words, so he politely said:

"I didn't know Master Wu is here too! Two distinguished guests are coming to our door. I'm going to welcome you from afar! I'm going to welcome you from afar!"

Neither Lu Chengfeng nor Wu Jingmo dared to ask the questions in their minds rashly.

After all, Mr. Xu Mengzhang, the master of the Xu Mansion, is the prince's teacher. As the son of the prince's teacher, Xu Shuyan must be a little closer to the prince!

They have no confidence and wonder if the person in front of them will tell the truth?

So, the three of them first chatted about poetry, poetry, and the art of literature.

Mr. Xu had a very lively conversation with the two of them, and the conversation was very interesting. He had already dug out all the out-of-print books in his family with great interest.

"My father just went to the East Palace. If his old man is here, I can't wait to pull you two to see him right away!"

Xu Shuyan was already interested, and said with a bright smile, as if he wanted to pull them together to have a long conversation. He was willing to talk about poetry, songs, philosophy of life, romance, and the situation in the imperial court.

Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but want to interrupt him several times, but Wu Jingmo quietly pulled his sleeve.

That's right, after all, it's time to talk, so it's better to be cautious.

In the blink of an eye, all three sticks of incense were burned.

Lu Chengfeng

When she thought that Xuanji might still be suffering in Jingzhao Mansion at this moment, she couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted:

"Mr. Xu, with all due respect, Brother Jingmo and I are here today to ask for something important."

Xu Shuyan smiled lightly and said:

"Are you two asking me to get my father's autographed articles? But there are many people who want it! Those calligraphy treasures are a waste if they are given to vulgar people. Either they don't ask for deep understanding, just for the sake of being arty, or they just exchange them for money in the blink of an eye. I

I'm too lazy to pay attention to them! I think you two are worth it!"

As he spoke, he moved to the deeper study at the back to pick out two pieces of his father's calligraphy to give to the two talented men in front of him.

Wu Jingmo hurriedly said:

"Master Xu, please be patient. The two of us are here today not for calligraphy, but for a case."

"Case? What case?" Mr. Xu looked confused.

I wonder how a scholarly family like Xu Mansion and a great Confucian family could be related to any case! I'm afraid the two of them are mistaken!

"Mr. Xu, actually we are here to ask you for confirmation. Were you in the room of Xuanji, the oiran of Tianxiang Tower, at Youshi the day before yesterday?"

Lu Chengfeng saw that he had misunderstood and hurriedly explained.

"That's right! That afternoon, I was in Xuanji's Tianzi No. 1 room, and I left in You just now!" Xu Shuyan still looked confused.

"Mr. Xu, do you remember whether it was the beginning or end of You when you left?" Lu Chengfeng asked.

"I, Xu, have never seen a woman as charming as Miss Xuanji in my life! It's not easy for me to have the opportunity to kiss Fangze. She is such a warm and fragrant soft jade, and I have been wandering around for a long time! Brother Chengfeng, I believe you also understand."

Lu Chengfeng saw that he was addicted to memories, with an intoxicated look on his face, and was filled with jealousy, but he had to grit his teeth, calm down, and said in a seductive manner:

"I wonder if it started snowing when Brother Shuyan left?"

"Exactly! If it hadn't been for the fact that it had snowed late in the evening, and I was worried that the servants in the mansion would be careless and the out-of-print ancient books hanging in the courtyard would be soaked by the snow, I wouldn't have returned home in a hurry!"

Xu Shuyan replied somewhat sadly.

Great! Lu Chengfeng recalled that when he rescued Xiao Guzi at the entrance of the alley that day, it had just started to snow.

In other words, Xu Shuyan stayed until the suspect completed the Jiang family case. In this way, Xuanji had no time to commit the crime, and she was naturally innocent!

Lu Chengfeng winked at Wu Jingmo proudly and raised his eyebrows.

Wu Jingmo saw that he was relieved and smiled understandingly.
Chapter completed!
