The black shadow moved quickly and placed its hand on Jiang Si's arm.

Jiang Si reached out and rubbed the shadow's head, sighing, "Erniu, why are you here?"

The black shadow was Erniu who had not been seen for some time.

Seeing Erniu twitching his nose affectionately, Jiang seemed both angry and amused.

In other words, she had smelled the familiar scent early on. If it were another girl walking in the garden in the middle of the night and suddenly being stalked by a dark shadow, she would probably have been scared to death.

"Woo woo——" Erniu called out in a flattering manner.

"Come with me first." Jiang Si stroked Erniu's head, knowing that it was not advisable to stay here for long, and continued walking forward.

Passing through the moon-shaped gate, the Prince's residence was completely quiet, except for the red lanterns in the corridor which were still on, emitting a light orange glow.

The entire courtyard of the prince's residence was bathed in light orange. Compared to the horror and danger in the garden, it seemed like another world.

The man and the dog quickly entered the east courtyard.

With the secret recipe of the love potion, Jiang Si was not worried that the two maids and Jiang Qiao would suddenly wake up. After entering the house, he washed his hands first, and then took Erniu to the empty east room.

The east side room is slightly taller and wider than the west side room, but the layout is the same.

Jiang Si sat down without turning on the light, and looked at Erniu in the light coming in from the window.

"Woof——" Erniu barked.

The big dog seemed to understand the situation very well and knew to lower his voice when he barked to please the dog.

"Erniu, why are you here?"

Erniu took a step forward, and suddenly raised his two front legs into a standing position.

Jiang Si noticed at a glance that in addition to the official badge on Erniu's neck, there was also a small treasure bag.

No matter how smart Erniu is, he can't hang the golden bag up by himself, which means that the golden bag belongs to... Yu Qi.

Jiang Si thought of this and did nothing for a moment.

"Woof woof." Erniu wagged his tail and moved his big mouth forward, obviously urging Jiang Si to quickly take down the golden bag.

Jiang Si paused for a moment, took off the golden pouch, and laughed at himself: Tonight is really strange, I got two golden pouches in succession, one from the female corpse, and one from Erniu, and neither of them came from a normal place.

Inside the purse was a square folded piece of paper with a simple sentence written on it: The prince of Changxing is not a good person, leave as soon as possible.

The final signature is a single character, "謹".

As expected, this was indeed the secret that Yu Qi passed on to her through Erniu.

Jiang Si had originally made up his mind to stay away from Yu Jian, but when he saw these words on the paper, he suddenly became curious.

How did Yu Qi know that the Prince of Changxing was not a good person? Did he see the Prince of Changxing abducting a woman?

Thinking of this, Jiang Sigu suddenly wanted to meet Yu Jin.

If Yu Qi had evidence that the Prince of Changxing had committed the crime, it would be much easier for her to bring him to justice.

Let’s go meet Yu Qi after leaving Changxing Marquis’ Mansion.

Jiang Si made up his mind and rubbed Erniu's thick fur: "I'll take the golden bag, go back."

Erniu glanced at Jiang Si and sat down.

Jiang Si was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Don't worry, your master will know that I received the golden purse when he sees it is gone."

Erniu just lay on the ground, stroking his tail lazily.

"Do you still want to reply?" Jiang seemed surprised.

There was only one reminder in Yu Qi's letter, so she just accepted it. There was no need to reply at all.

The big dog glanced at Jiang Si again and put its face to the ground.

That's not a reply.

Jiang Si looked at Erniu, wondering what it meant.

Erniu seemed to be annoyed that Jiang had not guessed it in time. He rubbed his tail in dissatisfaction, then put his face on his front legs and closed his eyes.

Jiang Si: “…”

"Erniu, do you want to stay?"

Erniu barked twice.

"That won't do. You'll be discovered soon if you stay here." Jiang Si couldn't help but frown, and his dissatisfaction with Yu Qi increased a little.

It must have been that bastard's order!

Erniu walked slowly to the window and jumped out of it.

After a moment, the big dog put its front legs on the window sill outside and poked its furry head out.

The meaning is very obvious. It wants to settle down under the window and will not leave until Jiang Si leaves.

"Erniu, go back quickly." Jiang Si said helplessly.

Erniu glanced at Jiang Si, then shrank into the shade of the trees and flowers outside the window, his head lowered to the ground, his two front paws covering his eyes.

I don’t want to listen! I don’t want to listen!

Jiang Si: “…”

She turned around and prepared to have a good chat with Yu Qi about life!

Giving up the idea of ​​persuading Erniu to leave, Jiang Si closed the window and returned to the west room.

Jiang Qiao was still sleeping soundly on the bed. The effect of the Ecstasy Powder should help her sleep soundly until dawn.

Jiang Si sat on the chair and took out the golden bag from the female corpse.

The material of the brocade bag cannot be said to be good, but it is certainly not bad either. The girl who can wear such a brocade bag should not be from a poor family.

Jiang Si opened the jewel bag, and a small amulet fell out of it.

Jiang Si picked up the amulet and looked at it over and over again.

The front of the amulet has the words "Peace and Good Fortune" written on it, and the back has the three small characters "Lingwu Temple" written on it.

Jiang seemed to have never heard of Lingwu Temple.

Precisely because she had never heard of it, she felt a little hopeful.

The temple is small and not well-known, so people who go to the temple to pray for amulets often live nearby, which narrows the search area.

Just like the story of Tofu Xishi Xiu Niangzi, when a good daughter is lost for unknown reasons, the family of the missing daughter cannot help but make some move.

From the conversation between the two servants, we can learn that at least seven or eight girls were buried under the peonies in the past two years. However, as time went by, their beauties turned into dry bones, and it was difficult to find any clues about them. Therefore, Lady Xiu's daughter and the girl who died tonight are the key to finding the prince of Changxing Marquis.

She needs to find out the identity of the girl who died tonight as soon as possible, and also find out the residence of Tofu Beauty Xiu Niangzi.

In this case, there is really no need for her to stay in Changxing Marquis's Mansion any longer. Previously, she was not sure when she could bring the Changxing Marquis's son to justice, and she was afraid that Jiang Qiao would get into trouble if she made a fuss about leaving. But now, as long as she is given some time to contact the families of the two girls, she will be able to expose the true identity of the Changxing Marquis's son, and then she will naturally not be worried about Jiang Qiao being implicated.

After thinking about all this, Jiang Si changed his clothes and lay down beside Jiang Qiao. Soon he fell into a deep sleep.

The moon disappeared into the clouds. In a house with a crooked jujube tree in front of the gate of Quezi Hutong, Yu Jin sat at a stone table under the tree in the yard, staring blankly with a white jade wine glass in his hand.

Why did she go to Changxing Marquis Mansion for no reason?

I wonder if she will listen to Erniu's advice and leave there as soon as possible after seeing the golden bag he brought...

Thinking of the obvious wariness and alienation in the girl's eyes every time she saw him, Yu Jin sighed deeply.

Probably they won’t listen.

Fortunately, he had thought of this a long time ago and told Erniu to stay there and not leave.

The good thing about Erniu is that he is even thicker-skinned than him.

Thinking of this, Yu Jin finally smiled.
