"Where was the deceased found? Did he have any identification on him?"

Tang Tang replied truthfully: "The deceased was found on the mountain of Pingcang Mountain. The torrential rain a few days ago washed the body out. It was found by people who went out for a walk, and then called the police. No identification was found around the body. Not even her clothes were found, she was buried naked on the mountain."

"The temperature in Pingcang Mountain is low, especially in early spring. The temperature at night is still close to zero. Only the temperature is higher during the day. If you want the corpse to rot like this, there are two possibilities. One is that the corpse was buried on the mountain before. It has already started to rot, and after being washed out of the ground by the heavy rain, the rot continues. Second, the time for the corpse to be exposed to the outside is at least one to two months. A month ago, it was still winter, and the average temperature on the mountain was around zero degrees. The decomposition process of the temperature corpse is quite slow, so the corpse has been exposed for a longer time. Which do you think is more likely?"

"Although Pingcang Mountain is not a tourist attraction, it is also a place where people in Pingcheng often go to play. If the body is exposed in that position, it would not take so long to be discovered. I speculate that the body must have been buried before it was buried. Rotten, and probably in the middle stages of decay."

Ji Linglan nodded, and said: "These are just our conjectures, and the exact time of death has to be examined by a medical entomologist. The skeleton of the corpse is well preserved, DNA can be extracted for comparison, and she died not shortly ago , the family members should report the disappearance, and the identity of the deceased should not be difficult to find out."

Tang Tang said with a bitter face: "Master, if her DNA is not stored in the database, the exact time of death will not be guessed for a while. Based on the clues we have so far, if we want to find out her identity, it is not a needle in a haystack. , not far behind."

Ji Linglan said angrily: "The deceased, female, was about 165 centimeters tall, with a thin body, aged 25 to 30, and had been missing for at least two months. Her DNA could still be collected and stored. With so much information, there is still With so many advanced instruments, forensic experts of various specialties, and theoretical support, if you tell me to find a needle in a haystack, what should we do if this corpse appears in ancient times, so let’s not investigate it.”

Tang Tang smiled embarrassingly, and asked, "Master, are you in a bad mood? What happened?"

Ji Linglan was startled, and then said, "Sorry, I shouldn't bring my personal emotions into work."

"Master, you don't need to apologize to me, let alone it's off-duty time." Tang Tang frowned slightly, and said, "Master, it's not the prince who really imprisoned you, right?"

"No, he won't." Ji Linglan retorted subconsciously, and when he realized it, he couldn't help being a little dazed at his certainty.

"Master, how did you tell that person, is the matter settled now?"

Ji Linglan was silent for a while, then sighed, and said, "Tang Tang, I... I seem to have feelings for him too."

Tang Tang opened his mouth wide in surprise, and said, "Master, do you mean that you also fell in love with him?"

"It should be." Ji Linglan smiled wryly, and said, "I should like that feeling."

"Should? Master, you haven't experienced feelings before, will you mistake friendship or family affection for love?"

Ji Linglan said amusedly: "I haven't been in a relationship before. Haven't I made friends or gotten along with relatives? That feeling is different."

"Did the master agree to associate with that person?" Tang Tang felt a little disappointed, as if something he had cherished for so long would no longer be his own in the future.

Unaware of Tang Tang's tone, Ji Linglan said to herself, "No. I'm not to the point of being overwhelmed by love, I just like him a little bit."

"Then why is the master in a bad mood?"

"Tang Tang, if..." Ji Linglan suddenly stopped talking, and said with a long breath: "Forget it, I can't tell myself, so how can I tell you."

"The master is in a bad mood, is it related to that person?"

Ji Linglan nodded and said: "Well. I'm fine, but I don't understand something and I'm just irritable. It's getting late, you should go back quickly. After you find out the information about the deceased, you can leave me a letter. "

"Okay, if the master wants to find someone to chat with, just call me and promise to be there on call."

"Well, go ahead and drive carefully."

Ji Linglan watched Tang Tang leave the door. He didn't leave the anatomy room in a hurry. Instead, he turned on the music on his mobile phone and listened quietly. The soft melody and familiar places calmed him down quickly. He couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly. He didn't Thinking that I will have a day when I will be trapped by love.

Time passed quickly, and Ji Linglan, who hadn't gone out for a few days, took Xiao Linzi and Ji Xinchen out.Although he didn't inform Fu Nanling, he also knew that his whereabouts would definitely not be hidden from him.

Under the leadership of Xiao Linzi, Ji Linglan went straight to the gate of Yaxing.Looking up at the signboard, he turned to Xiao Linzi and asked, "Xiao Linzi, do you know the housing prices in the capital?"

Xiao Linzi smiled wryly, and said: "My lord, this slave has been serving the master in the palace all year round, and rarely has the chance to come out. I really don't know the prices in this capital."

Ji Linglan frowned slightly, and said helplessly: "I should ask Big Brother Lu to accompany me. But I've already come, so I just go in and have a look. If I'm really not sure, then wait until next time, and let Big Brother Lu come with me to negotiate the price." .”

Ji Xinchen looked around, eyes full of novelty, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, Kyoto is so lively, it's really much more prosperous than Yongning Town. Do you really want to buy a store here? What about our previous store?"

"Leave the previous shop and house for now, maybe I will go back someday."

Whether it is ancient or modern, real estate is always the most precious thing in people's hearts. After all, if you have a house, you have a nest, which can shelter you from the wind and rain, and no matter how poor you are, you have a place to go back to.

"What about the doctor? Mr. Zhang can't come here, who will give us a prescription?"

"Then it's the same as Yongning Town, pick a reliable doctor, and let's cooperate with him."

In fact, in the past two years, Ji Linglan has also learned medical skills from Mr. Zhang, and has a general understanding of the herbal medicine of this era.In addition, he spent the past two years re-studying medicine, so he can still prescribe medicines for common diseases.

"I came in a hurry, and I didn't have a chance to tell Mr. Zhang. A few days ago, Mr. Zhang asked me about the shopkeeper. Shopkeeper, why don't we ask someone to send a message to Mr. Zhang, so that he won't worry."

"OK, I'll send someone to deliver a letter when I get back. Let's go in and have a look."

Ji Linglan led the way, and the three of them walked into the dental store. Unlike the deserted dental store in Yongning Town, there were people coming and going, and it was very lively.The three of Ji Linglan entered the door, but no one greeted them.

After waiting for a while, a clerk who was free noticed the three of them.

The clerk sized up the three of them, and greeted with a smile: "Which house do the three guest officials belong to, and what do you want to buy?"

In order to go out today, Ji Linglan specially picked out the most plain and inconspicuous clothes, but Zai Su was also a product of the palace. It is the best thing.Although the store clerk saw them unfamiliar, he still had some insight.

Ji Linglan asked strangely: "Do I still need to declare my family name to buy things?"

The clerk quickly said: "That's not true, it's just that the people who come to our place are regular customers. Just tell us what you want, and we will arrange it and send it to your house."

Ji Linglan had no intention of declaring her family name, and said bluntly: "I want to see if there are any shops along the street for sale or lease."

The clerk smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that the young master came here. A storefront was put up just now. It is on Dayang Street in the east of the city. As we all know, the people living in the east and south of the city are rich families. If you want to buy this store, the business must be booming." .”

"What did the shop do before? How big was it?"

"This shop used to be a restaurant. It has three floors. The first floor is the lobby, and the second and third floors are private rooms. The place is bright and spacious."

"It's too big. Is there a slightly smaller pavement? Just two or two rooms on the first floor."

The man thought for a while, and said, "Sorry, my lord, the capital is so prosperous that shops are scarce, and we have only had this one shop here in the past month. If it wasn't for my lord's coincidence that it wouldn't last until noon, this shop should be It's sold."

Ji Linglan frowned slightly, and said, "Then how much money does this shop cost?"

"Such a large pavement only costs 3000 taels of silver, which is absolutely worth it!"

"Ten taels?"

Ji Linglan's shop in Yongning Town cost less than 300 taels. Although he knew that the shop in Kyoto would be very expensive, he didn't expect it to be ten times more expensive.

The man looked at it, and the smile on his face faded, and said: "The shop on the third floor is still in the east of the city. This is already an extremely low price. If the owner is not in a hurry to sell, the price can be doubled." .”

It's not that Ji Linglan can't get 3000 taels, it's just that his medicine itself can't be sold at a high price, and I don't know how long it will take to sell 3000 taels before it can be paid back.But after thinking about it, this storefront is an asset, even if it is not used anywhere, it may appreciate in value.

"Can the price be lowered?"

Seeing Ji Linglan's question, the clerk knew there was something to be said for this deal, and said: "The owner said, 3000 taels, no second price. Young master, if you buy this shop, you must make money. Even if you put it in If you don’t use it there, if you hang it in our dental store, the price will be doubled at least.”

"If you don't have money, don't come to the dental clinic to ask the store, so as not to embarrass yourself."

A strange voice came from behind, Ji Linglan turned around and saw a man in his 20s looking at him with disdain.

Ji Linglan frowned slightly, this person looked kind-hearted, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Xiao Linzi's face turned cold when he heard the words, Ji Linglan was someone their lords held dear to their hearts, and their lords were reluctant to say aloud, now someone is so bold as to find fault, isn't this 'playing lanterns in the latrine - looking for shit'? .

"Whose dog is this? Why was it released? It smells like excrement when it opens its mouth. It stinks!"

Ji Xinchen couldn't hold it back for a while, and laughed out a 'poof'.Ji Linglan looked at Xiao Linzi in surprise, never expecting that he had the potential to be poisonous.

Seeing this, the man turned pale with anger, and said, "Presumptuous! You little bastard with no hair on his mouth, who are you talking about?"

Xiao Linzi is an eunuch, and the most taboo thing is this kind of words, this person just hit his pain.His face became ugly, and he said with a sneer: "Of course it means you, a dung beetle crawling out of a cesspit, spraying manure all over your mouth, and the whole Kyoto is filled with the stench of you, you should go back to your cesspit, don't spend all your time!" I just want to do some sinister and immoral things, be careful not to have a baby!"

"you wanna die!"

The man raised his hand and hit Xiao Linzi. Just as Ji Linglan was about to step forward, he didn't expect that the thin Xiao Linzi grabbed the man's wrist and kicked him. With a "bang", the man was kicked and knelt down on his knees, covering his stomach with one hand and crying in pain.

The man looked at it, and quickly persuaded him: "Guest officer, let go, let go, let's make money with peace, and make money with peace."

The people behind the man came back to their senses and gathered around one after another, saying: "Those who dare to touch our Ping Palace, I think you don't want to live anymore!"

When the people in the store heard that they were from Prince Ping's Mansion, they began to discuss in a low voice.

"Hey, it turned out to be someone from Prince Ping's Mansion, now there is a good show to watch."

"Ping Wang is the candidate for the future crown prince. Except for the current emperor, who would dare to oppose him. I think those three boys will kowtow and confess their crimes later."

"His Highness King Ping is all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. How can the servants of the palace be so useless to be beaten so weakly by such a thin person?"

"People are not sages. It is inevitable that His Royal Highness Prince Ping manages state affairs and the people in the palace are negligent in discipline. I understand, I understand."

Hearing this, Xiao Linzi straightened his back even more, raised his hand and slapped him again, knocking out one of the man's front teeth, and said arrogantly: "I just moved, what can you do to me?"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw it. The development of the plot was obviously not what they expected. They didn't expect that someone would dare to confront the people of the Peace Palace.

"Very good! Come on, brothers, we can't weaken the reputation of our Prince Ping's Mansion, and let me take care of you if you are beaten to death or maimed!"

"Hula la" a group of people rolled up their sleeves and rushed towards Xiao Linzi and the others.Ji Linglan pulled Ji Xinchen behind her, and just about to make a move, she saw a flash, and the person who had just rushed up flew out at twice the speed.

"Bang bang bang", 'kuang bang bang', 'pingling bang bang', 'twittering crackling', all the people who were standing just now fell to the ground, all of them hunched over with pain in their faces. All twisted.

At this moment, three people walked in from outside the door. The heads of the heads were a little pale, the facial features were exquisite, and the facial contours were sharp. In front, with one hand behind, walked in with a blank expression.

Seeing this, Xiao Linzi quickly let go, walked up to him in two or three steps, and saluted, "Your servant sees the prince."

Ji Linglan looked at Fu Nanling, followed by saluting: "Xiaomin sees the prince."

The spectators froze on the spot. Many of them were managers of rich families. They had seen many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but no one had seen Fu Nanling. Their hearts were pounding when they suddenly heard a stern shout.

"Bold! His Royal Highness is here, hurry up and salute!"

"King of the Mausoleum?"

Everyone was startled, and they knelt down on the ground one after another, saying: "See His Royal Highness Mausoleum!"

Fu Nanling's eyes were fixed on Ji Linglan from the beginning to the end, and he said lightly: "Get up."

Everyone looked at each other and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, King Ling."

The spectators evacuated the scene one after another, as fast as a monster chasing after them.In the blink of an eye, only the shop assistants, the people from Pingwangfu, and Fu Nanling and his party were left in the crowded shop just now.

Others can run away, but those in the tooth shop can't. The steward peeked at Fu Nanling frightenedly. This is a frightening master. Even though they have never seen him before, everyone knows the name of King Ling. Xiao, accompanied by his name is often arrogant, ruthless, murderous and so on.Even the women frightened the children by saying, 'If you are disobedient, wait until the King of Mausoleum comes and eat you'.

Ji Linglan kept her head down all the time, except when Fu Nanling first came in, she never looked at him again.

Fu Nanling felt depressed and had nowhere to vent, so he turned his head to look at the group of people lying on the ground pretending to be dead. Unfortunately, they were about to become Fu Nanling's punching bag.

"This King Ping has not been canonized as the crown prince, but he bullies his brother so recklessly. If he really gains power in the future, won't we royal heirs have no way out?"

If Fu Nanling's words reach Fu Lianchao's ears, then Fu Nanping will be reprimanded at least, and at worst, he will not be the crown prince.

The person who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead did not dare to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and quickly prostrated himself on the ground, explaining: "His Majesty, calm down, this matter is because the slaves are blind to Mount Tai, and it has nothing to do with the master. The slaves are willing to be punished. Also, please don't implicate the slaves' faults on the master, His Royal Highness the Mausoleum."

"Involvement?" Fu Nanling sneered, and said: "The little slaves are so domineering, who is relying on power, how can you say that it has nothing to do with him? Today's matter, if they happen to be from the Ling Palace, if not This king has nothing to do and came here to wander around, what will happen to them? Do you really think that all the people in this capital are blind and deaf?"

Obviously they were the ones who were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, and the other party didn't even lose a single hair, and the person kneeling on the ground felt aggrieved.

"His Royal Highness..."

Fu Nanling didn't give them a chance to speak, and continued: "This king has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and rarely set foot outside the palace, but for some reason he ended up with a notorious end, saying that this king is arrogant, ruthless, and murderous. This king is very Strange, this king seldom even comes out of the palace gates. Why do the people in the capital think that this king is arrogant and domineering? Has this king bullied anyone or killed someone? Seeing you now, this king has figured it out. It turns out that the reputation of this king was ruined by you people with ulterior motives. The purpose is nothing more than to deceive the people of the capital, step on the reputation of this king, and establish the image of a modest gentleman for your master. Okay, what a good one' King Ping who is all-rounder in civil and military affairs! This king admires, admires!"

The people on the ground were dumbfounded when they heard this, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness..."

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is even more impossible for Fu Nanling to give them a chance to speak, saying: "Come here, escort them back to Prince Ping's mansion. This king will personally ask King Ping for an explanation."

"Yes, your subordinates obey!"

Without giving the people in Prince Ping's Mansion a chance to speak, Fu Nanling's people quickly dragged them out.

Ji Linglan looked a little funny on the sidelines, and couldn't help admiring Fu Nanling's wit. Through such an incident, Fu Nanling not only made the people present start to question Ping Wang's character, but also washed away his own notoriety. Bundle.More importantly, if this matter spreads to Fu Lianchao's ears again, Fu Nanping's image in Fu Lianchao's heart will be greatly reduced, and it is likely to affect the decision to be elected as the crown prince.A trivial matter, let Fu Nanling handle it like this, killing three birds with one stone.

Although Fu Nanling didn't do anything to those people, but after Fu Nanping learned about this incident, the fate of those people can be imagined, which is much more relieved than doing it himself.

Fu Nanling looked at the smashed tables and chairs all around, and said, "Who is in charge of the dentist?"

Liu Xin hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said: "Go back to your lord, the villain Liu Xin is in charge of the tooth shop."

"All the losses here, how much is it worth, you sort it out, and it will be paid by the Mausoleum Palace."

Liu Xin smiled obsequiously, and said: "My lord, these tables and chairs are worthless, so I won't bother my lord."

Fu Nanling frowned slightly, and said displeasedly: "No, I will not be less than a penny in the compensation, so as not to let someone spread my king's repudiation and ruin my reputation."

"Yes, the villain will tidy up later."

"The shop in the east of the city, I want it. Later, you send the land deed and house deed to the Mausoleum Palace, and the accountant will give you a piece of money."

"Yes, the villain obeys."

Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan, turned around and left the tooth shop, and the rest of them quickly followed after seeing this.

Liu Xin led the other people in the tooth shop, and hurriedly saluted: "Respectfully send off the prince."

Ji Linglan looked at Fu Nanling in front of him, turned his footsteps, and walked in the opposite direction. Seeing this, Ji Xinchen hurriedly followed, Xiao Linzi looked at Fu Nanling, then at Ji Linglan, sighed silently, and immediately Also followed.

Fu Nanling stopped in his tracks, and looked back, bitterness flashed across his long and narrow phoenix eyes.

Xiao Lizi asked in a low voice: "Master, shall we still follow?"

Fu Nanling looked at Lu Jiu and said, "Lu Jiu, you go and protect him."

"Yes, your subordinates obey!"

After Lu Jiu saluted, he quickly chased after him, and soon disappeared around the corner with Ji Linglan and the other three.

"Master, shall we go back home?"

Fu Nanling withdrew his gaze and said lightly: "No, go to the palace."

"Yes, master."

Ji Xinchen looked behind him in fear, and said with some concern: "Master, why didn't you tell the prince when you left, won't the prince blame you?"

"Need not."

For several days in succession, Fu Nanling never even visited his yard, obviously determined to deceive him to the end.While Ji Linglan was disappointed, he was also very angry, and didn't want to talk to him at all.

"Alan." Lu Jiu called out to stop Ji Linglan.

Ji Linglan paused, turned to look at Lu Jiu, and said, "Brother Lu, I heard that you were injured on a mission a few days ago, how is your injury now?"

"No problem, just a little skin trauma." Lu Jiu looked at the sky and said, "It's almost noon now, why don't we sit down in a restaurant and chat while eating."

Ji Linglan naturally understood what Lu Jiu wanted to say, but she didn't stop her, saying, "It's been a long time since I had dinner with Big Brother Lu, this time I invite you!"

"Let's go to the Yanbin Building. The food there is not bad, Alan can try it."

"Success, listen to Brother Lu."

Under the leadership of Lu Jiu, a group of four quickly came to the banquet building, asked for a private room facing the street, and everyone walked in.

Ji Linglan looked up at Xiao Linzi and Ji Xinchen, and said, "You two sit down too. I'll order something if you want to eat."

Seeing Ji Linglan speaking, Ji Xinchen sat down obediently. When they were in Yongning Town, they ate together every day, so there was no psychological burden.

Seeing this, Xiao Linzi sat down in the last seat.

Ji Linglan knew the preferences of Lu Jiu and Ji Xinchen, but she was not very familiar with Xiao Linzi, so she asked specifically. The four of them ordered eight dishes, a pot of wine, two catties of scallion pancakes, and a pot of vegetables and eggs. flower soup.

"Brother Lu, I heard that a few days ago, I lost a brother when I went on a mission?"

Lu Jiu nodded, sadness appeared in his calm eyes, and said: "Zero Er was hacked to death by the killer in order to cover our evacuation alone in the rear."

"Brother Lu, who is Zero Two, have I met him?"

"Zero Two's real name is Chen Kai. He comes from Yingwei. He was transferred to work with the master five years ago. You have seen him, but he is usually taciturn, so you may not have noticed."

"The body of Chen Kai..."

"It has been found, the prince ordered a proper burial, and took his family to the capital for resettlement."

Ji Linglan nodded and said, "Is the prince in trouble these days?"

Lu Jiu replied truthfully: "There are indeed some troubles. For some reason, Prince Ping suddenly attacked and suppressed the followers of the prince. Fortunately, the prince responded in time, and the situation has eased now."
