Chapter 85 Mahogany Box
"You also know?" Ji Qingrou asked.

"That's to scare the children." Tao Le hinted.

Ji Qingrou heard the meaning of her words, and raised her eyebrows, "You are the child who hasn't grown up. I... the princess was married by the emperor."

Speaking of bestowing a marriage, he asked Bai Lan, "Have you really given birth to a gentleman?"

Bai Lan blinked, why did she suddenly pull her body again, looked at the old lady's body, "...Let's talk about it after we leave here."

She didn't want to lie to the dead.

After dressing the old lady in the maid's clothes, Tao Le checked the three piles of skins again, and she was not as polite as the old lady, and broke the skins apart with a few strokes of scissors.

The vascular structures inside...

Bai Lan turned his face to look elsewhere.

Even Ji Qingrou, who likes heavy flavors, subconsciously covered her mouth, as if she was about to vomit.

"Huh? What's that?" Bai Lan pointed to the roof beams covered with cobwebs.

Ji Qing followed Bai Lan's direction, and there was a red wooden box there.

"I'll take it down and have a look." He jumped up on his toes and took off the mahogany box.

Bai Lan was dumbfounded, "Wow, what kind of kung fu is this?"

"Qinggong." Ji Qingrou was quite complacent.

Tao Le finished checking the leather bag and said, "It's just the fur." ​​Then he took the mahogany box from Ji Qingrou's hand, looked at the rusty lock, and said, "As evidence, this belongs to Dali Temple."

Bai Lan, the discoverer, and Ji Qingrou, the acquirer, both expressed dissatisfaction.

"There is a lock on this box. Does any of you have the key?"

The two fell silent.

"After the box is opened, I will tell you what's inside." After Tao Le finished speaking, he shouted to the door: "It's over, come in."

Hearing the ending sound inside, An Guogong rushed in first, "Mother!"

Bai Lan, Tao Le, and Ji Qingrou were silent.

No matter how hard you shout, the dead will not come back to life.

Mrs. An Guogong came in slowly later, but when she saw the mahogany box in Tao Le's hand, her pupils constricted.

"Tao Le, what is in your hand?" Tao Zheng asked.

Tao Le gave him the mahogany box, "I found it on the roof beam."

Immediately, Tao Zheng went up to the beam to see if there was anything else left behind, but there was nothing but cobwebs and dust.

"Master Tao, please also arrest the murderer and give my mother an explanation." An Guogong said with grief on his face as he picked up the old lady.

Tao Zheng bowed to Duke An, "Don't worry, Mr. An, the officials will definitely do their best to solve this case, please be patient."

An Guogong left.

Mrs. An Guogong took another look at the mahogany box, and followed An Guogong.

Bai Lan naturally wanted to leave too.

Tao Zheng said, "Wait a minute, Miss Bai."

Bai Lan stopped.

"I heard that it was the Maid of the White Snake who first discovered what happened here." Tao Zheng said solemnly.

Bai Lan replied: "That's true. She was frightened, so she ran to report the situation to me, the master, and I also informed the guard immediately. Is there any problem?"

"No, there is no problem. I want to see the maidservant of the White Lady and ask about the situation at that time."

"She is at the gate of the palace right now, my lord can go there now."

"Okay, but I'm going to Fengxi Palace for a while, so how about it." Tao Zheng turned to Tao Le and said, "Go and inquire about the situation. They are both women, so it's easy to talk."

Tao Le stretched out his hand, but smiled silently.

The corner of Tao Zheng's mouth twitched, "Got it. This month's salary is doubled."
