Tongquan was even more puzzled: "Why?"

Bai Jiuxiao didn't reply to him. After thinking about it, he picked up the pen and added a row of small words below.

【Everything is here】

Then he waited for the ink to dry, rolled the paper into a very thin roll, stuffed it into a small bamboo tube, took the pigeon in Tongquan's hand and tied it to the pigeon's leg.

"Take it to the yard and release it." Bai Jiuxiao handed the pigeon back to him.

"To whom?"

"Pass it to whoever you want, just let it go."

Tongquan: "."

Guessing that she must have a purpose, she didn't ask any more questions and went to the yard to release the carrier pigeon.

He came back and said: "My subordinates have released the pigeons according to the prince's instructions."

Bai Jiuxiao nodded: "Well, it's okay, let's go down."

Tongquan: "."

The next morning, the Jiuwang Mansion distributed monthly money.

Usually we go to the accounting office one by one to collect them, but today the housekeeper asked everyone to gather in the yard and distribute them together.

When the money was distributed, everyone was delighted to find that the monthly money had increased. Usually it was paid in copper coins, but this time it was all in silver.

Yuan Zhu was standing in the crowd, wanting to yawn, but forced himself to hold it back.

He was so sleepy that he barely slept last night. The map Bai Jiuxiao sent was too difficult to copy, so he spent half the night copying it.

In the morning, I took the opportunity to go out to buy groceries and gave away the map.

Now I just want to sleep.

Fortunately, there was not much work in the morning. After receiving the money, I hid somewhere for a while and took a breather.

Originally, he was worried that Bai Jiuxiao would pursue the matter of attracting bees when he came back. Now it seems that Wei Feng was right, Bai Jiuxiao did not find out about attracting bees at all.

Wei Feng said that if Bai Jiuxiao discovered Miifeng, he would definitely kill Miifeng, but Miifeng was recalled, and it was fine, which meant that Bai Jiuxiao didn't notice it at all, and the four masters sent out were simply unable to defeat him in martial arts. , failed to kill him and was killed instead.

It was finally his turn.

The accountant gave him a piece of silver and asked him to put his fingerprint on the receipt record in the account book.

After pressing his fingerprints, he was about to leave when a long sword was suddenly placed across his neck.

He was shocked, and everyone present was also shocked.

Those who hold the sword are from the same source.

"Guard, what do you mean?" Yuan Zhu was panicking and tried to calm down.

Tongquan tilted his head and pointed at the silver in his hand: "Didn't you notice it was dark?"

Yuan Zhu looked at the broken silver in his hand.

It's as black as charcoal.

His expression changed and he was so frightened that he immediately threw it away.

Everyone present was also shocked.

Silver turns black when exposed to poison. Could it be that his hands are poisonous?

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous!"

As Tongquan spoke, he took a piece of silver from the table in front of the accounting room with the hand that was not holding the sword. He pinched it in his palm and twisted it. When he spread his hand, the silver became black.

Everyone was surprised.

Yuan Zhu was also shocked.

"Guess why the silver in my hand has turned black?" Tongquan asked Yuan Zhu.

After asking, without waiting for Yuan Zhu to answer, he continued: "Because I touched the pigeon that Prince Fei Ge sent out the message yesterday."

Yuan Zhu's breathing was stagnant.

That pigeon was tampered with?

"There is a medicine on the feathers of that pigeon. This medicine can remain on human skin for three days and cannot be washed away. This medicine can turn silver black." Tongquan said.

Yesterday he was still wondering why he had to bathe the pigeons, and his prince just told him the reason.

It turns out that the water in the copper basin is medicine.

"I bumped into the pigeon because I released it. Why did you bump into it?" Tongquan asked Yuan Zhu.

Yuan Zhu's face was as white as paper.

"Tell me, who is your master?" The long sword in Tongquan's hand moved closer to his neck.

Yuan Zhu's eyes trembled and his heart trembled, and he was extremely flustered.

But he couldn't admit it.

Once he admits it, not only will he die, but his brother will also die.

"My master is the Ninth Prince. I just accidentally shot down the pigeon. I didn't know it was the prince's homing pigeon. Later I found out and I quickly released it."

Tongquan sneered coldly: "Do you believe this? Is it careless to apply bee-attracting powder on the ear of the prince's sword?"

Yuan Zhu was shocked all over.

Found bee attracting powder?

That's right, he must have discovered the bee-attracting powder, so he caught the traitor in the house, and used flying pigeons smeared with the medicine to test it.

"I don't know what you are talking about?" Yuan Zhu refused to admit it.

"The prince said that as long as you tell who is behind the scenes, you will be spared."

"There is no one behind the scenes."

"You don't want to say that, right? Okay, then just like Shi Wu did, first go and endure all kinds of punishments in the palace, and then be executed in public."

After Tongquan finished speaking, he ordered the guards: "Come here, take this eater down and torture him until he confesses."

Several palace guards came forward, captured Yuan Zhu and took him away.

In the middle of the afternoon, Bai Jiuxiao was sitting on the bedside with her clothes on, reading the book of war, when Tongquan knocked on the door and came in.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Zhu bit his tongue and committed suicide. He is unwilling to say anything."

Bai Jiuxiao didn't have much surprise and didn't even raise his eyes from the book of war.

Wasn't Shi Wu even beaten to death and unable to find out anything?

It seems that the master behind the scenes is the same person.

Moreover, if he doesn't commit suicide, she will kill him.

"I know." Bai Jiuxiao said softly.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates don't understand very well. Why don't we stand still and expose Yuan Zhu first, and then secretly follow him and find the person behind him?"

They just pulled people out without asking any questions, and the people behind the scenes felt even more relaxed.

Only then did Bai Jiuxiao lift his eyes from the book.

She couldn't tell him because she had a dream yesterday afternoon, in which she killed the craftsman.

Although yesterday afternoon, she didn't know who Xizuo was, so the Xizuo in the dream had no face, but he admitted that he had planted bee powder.

According to the rules of her dreams, if she killed this person in the dream, then in reality it was the person who killed her.

Therefore, this person cannot stay for a long time and must be found and dealt with immediately.

You can't tell Tongquan this.

"It's okay. Send someone to secretly keep an eye on the chestnut forest in Xishan. The person behind the scenes will definitely send someone to investigate after receiving the map." Bai Jiuxiao said.

Tongquan was shocked: "The prince painted the chestnut forest in Xishan?"

"Well, although I deliberately painted it so that it is difficult for them to recognize it, and I want to make them scratch their heads, but they will definitely see it sooner or later." Bai Jiuxiao said.

The corner of Tongquan's mouth twitched, and he turned around to get the tea can on the table: "Are you sure that the prince didn't copy this picture of "Happy with Plum Blossoms"?

"I painted a chestnut forest, why did I copy that picture?" Bai Jiuxiao also looked confused.

Tongquan is sweating.

He stepped forward and handed the tea can to her for her to see.

Bai Jiuxiao took a closer look and said, "Well, there is some resemblance."

Tongquan: "."
