Tian's little cook

Chapter 517 New Clues
Jing Hong continued to ask: "You said that Lin Zhimo said that she was from Mo City, but no one in Mo City remembered that there was a woman with such spots on her face."

Yuan Xue couldn't answer, and Yuan Shen's forehead began to break out in cold sweat: "My lord, it was indeed Lin Zhimo who said this to my little girl, she won't talk nonsense."

Jing Hong stared at Yuan Xue, and then said, "She's not talking nonsense, so that means Lin Zhimo is lying."

"Lying?" Yuan Xue said these two words unconsciously, and suddenly felt that what Jinghong said made sense.

That's right, at that time Lin Zhimo had been talking tit for tat with herself, so she might have lied to herself by reporting an address at random.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xue's hatred for Lin Zhimo deepened.

Jing Hong continued to ask: "Miss Yuan, you said that you got into the carriage of the caravan in Fengcheng, do you remember where Lin Zhimo and the third prince got into the carriage?"

Yuan Xue shook her head, "The caravan stopped and went, I don't know when they got into the carriage."

She had a special carriage, and before she met Lin Jiao, she rarely got out of the carriage unless she was staying.

Most of the caravans were businessmen, and Yuan Xue was an official girl, so she definitely wouldn't talk to these people.

Jing Hong was silent for a while.

They searched for the clues provided by Yuan Xue, the places where the third prince might appear or go, but they couldn't find any clues.

For the present plan, he had to come and talk to Yuan Xue in person to see if he could find any more clues.

If the third prince is no longer found, the situation in the capital will get worse and worse, and the consequences will affect the entire Dasheng Dynasty.

Yuan Xue was also desperately trying to remember.

The Jinghong who came today must have been sent by the imperial concubine. If she couldn't provide any more useful clues, not only would she not be able to marry the third prince, her father might not even be able to secure his official position.

The heavy atmosphere in the study made Yuanxue recall the whole process again.

Suddenly, Yuan Xue called out: "My lord, someone may know."

"Who?" Jing Hong and Yuan Shen asked at the same time.

"The leader of the caravan." Yuan Xue said quickly: "When the caravan stopped at the gate of Xicheng City, I saw the third prince talking to the leader, and the conversation seemed familiar."

"What's the team leader's name? Where did he go?" Jing Hong asked immediately.

"It seems to be called Sun Ling." Yuan Xue confirmed again: "Yes, that person is Sun Ling. At that time, the caravan continued to go north."

Yuan Shen hurriedly added, "Even if the caravans who come to Xicheng just stay, they will register. I will ask someone to send the registration materials over now."

"No need, let's go directly." Jinghong didn't want to waste time.

Yuan Shen quickly agreed, and Yuan Xue also proposed to check.

When we arrived at the management office at the gate of the city, the steward saw Yuan Shen coming, and hurried forward: "Master Yuan, my subordinates didn't know you were here, so I'm not far away to welcome you, but I still hope."

"Stop talking nonsense, take out the materials." Jinghong interrupted him impatiently.

Yuan Shen immediately yelled at him: "Didn't you hear what your lord said? Hurry up and get the caravan registration information."

The manager was so frightened that he quickly brought the registration materials over.

According to the time when Yuan Xue returned to the city last time, after a while, the manager finally found the relevant records.

The matter was serious, Yuan Shen let the steward go out, only the three of them and two guards were left in the room.

Jing Hong took a look, and it turned out that the leader of the caravan was Sun Ling, and he was going to a certain city in the northwest for trade.

Jing Hong put down the information, made a rough calculation, and beckoned to a guard beside him: "Sun Ling's caravan should be on the way back, so send someone to bring him to the city immediately."

The guards led the order, and Yuan Xue asked full of expectation: "My lord, can we find the third prince now?"
