Concubine Agent: My lord, stop pretending

Chapter 180 Perjury, as expected

Su Yan walked to a pool, glanced at the pools of various colors, reached out to caress the blue cloth that was drying in the hand, and couldn't help asking: "Are these all tribute brocades?"

"No, these are ordinary silks and satins. The tribute brocade is woven by a specialized academy, so it's not here." Shen Zhizhi replied.

"Then can you take us to have a look?" Su Yan asked.

"Yes, everyone, please follow me." Shen Zhizhi asked sideways, and walked in front of several people, leading the way for them.

Passing through a courtyard, we came to a quiet courtyard. There are guards guarding the entrance of the courtyard, which shows that it is very strict.

Shen Zhizhi led several people in, then turned to Su Yu and said, "This is the place dedicated to weaving tribute brocade."

In the yard, there are several looms, and there is a young woman sitting in front of each loom. Their expressions are indifferent, they shuttle the lead wires, and their movements are familiar and fast. They don't seem to be aware of the entry of others.

A few people walked around in front of a few looms, looked around, and Su Yan asked, "Are all these girls weavers back then?"

Shen Zhizhi shook his head, and said honestly: "No. We are in charge of Jinniang and Xiuniang who are in charge of Gongjin, and we will change new people every year."

"Why is that so?" Su Yan asked puzzled.

Shen Zhizhi explained: "Because weaving for a long time, the hands will become rough, which will inevitably affect the smoothness and feel of the brocade cloth, so we change the brocade lady and embroiderer every year."

Su Yu was startled, and looked at those Jinniangs in surprise, and seeing that their fingers were very delicate, he couldn't help asking Shen Zhizhi: "Wouldn't it have a greater impact on the cloth if the novice did it?"

"Novices are also selected after thousands of miles, and before they officially take over, they will be trained first." Shen Zhizhi looked at those young Jinniangs and said, "Or let these Jinniangs rest for a month. Raise your hands well before weaving."

Su Yan sighed slightly, it took so much time and attention to detail, just because these silk brocades were to be paid as tribute, and they were really different from the finished products of ordinary cloth.

Su Yu looked at those young women, and asked casually, "Oh, I don't know if Jin Niang, who was in charge of the brocade tribute last year, is still there?"

Shen Zhizhi shook his head slightly, and said: "I don't know which group of Jin Niangs it is. At that time, I have not accepted the business of the cloth village and the family, and the second brother is in charge." After finishing speaking, he said, "If the princess really wants to see that Pi Jinniang, I think there is a record of the bottom line, and I can call it out."

"No need, I'm just asking casually." Su Yan smiled lightly, "Can I have a look around?"

"Of course, the princess can do as she pleases. I have instructed everyone in the cloth workshop to fully cooperate with you adults." Shen Zhizhi cupped his hands, calmly and calmly, quite like a gentleman.

"Then I will take the prince to have a look." Su Yan smiled slightly, took Ye Jing's hand, and the two went to another place to talk.

Seeing the two walking away, Shen Zhizhi looked at Chu Qingzhou and Ye Huan, and said, "I still have some things to deal with, do you two adults?"

"Although the third son is busy, the fifth prince and I will just take a look." Chu Qingzhou laughed.

Shen Zhizhi nodded, gave instructions to the manager, and then left.

Chu Qingzhou's eyes fell on Su Yan who was not far away, and his voice was neither high nor low: "Concubine Jing really lives up to her reputation. This calm and clear thinking really makes people have an urge to understand."

Ye Huan was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Chu Qingzhou inexplicably, as if chewing on his words.

While Su Yan asked Jinniang to learn some knowledge about cloth, he intentionally or unintentionally set their words.As Shen Zhizhi said, these are all new Jinniangs, who don't know anything about the previous year.

On Bufang's side, there were no breakthrough clues, but Fuya's side had the latest progress.

When the four of them returned to the government office, Yao Jing handed over the testimony in his hand again, and said: "This is the result of the interrogation by the officials. As the princess said, those people all gave false testimony. And he confessed that it was a The man in black instructed them to say so, as for the man in black, they have never seen him before."

Su Yan nodded, and said clearly: "Since the man is masked, even if he shows his face, it may not be his real face. What about those witnesses? How did Lord Yao deal with it?"

Yao Jingdao: "As soon as the official interrogated these things, he immediately sent someone to inform you, and he never dealt with those people." After speaking, he looked at Chu Qingzhou and Ye Huan, "Conspiring to give perjury, this crime is like committing a crime. Officials dare not rule lightly."

Ye Huan nodded, looked at Su Yan, and asked, "Sister-in-law Si thinks how to deal with it better?"

"Let it go, they are just ordinary people." Su Yan said.Those people definitely don't know anything, and only by letting go at the right time, maybe they can gain more.

Hearing this, Ye Huan looked at Chu Qingzhou and saw that he had no objection, so he made the arrangement.

Yao Jing wanted to hold a dinner party in a restaurant to clean up the dust for a few of them, but Chu Qingzhou refused.As the prefect of Yuzhou, Yao Jing is not very clear about this case, he only knows that the involvement here may be more complicated than he imagined.

In the evening, a few people had dinner at the city guard's mansion, but Ye Lingxue did not leave the room because she was unwell, so Su Yan ordered someone to bring the food to her room.

After the meal, the four of them sat around the table and began to discuss the next plan and direction of investigation.

In the end, the four decided to split up.Su Yan and Ye Jing went to Shen's Bieyuan tomorrow, Ye Huan investigated the identity of the second young master who died, Chu Qingzhou sat in the government office, and went through all the files again.

After discussing, Su Yan and Ye Jing went back to Ting Yuxuan.

Because of Su Yan's arrival, Ye Huan moved out of Ting Yuxuan and lived in the same courtyard as Chu Qingzhou.

It was very quiet outside the window, and the night was as cold as water. Along the way, the two of them were silent without words.

After not seeing Ye Jing for several days, Su Yan suddenly felt that he didn't know how to get along with him alone.In the past, she took care of him as a child, but now, he seems unwilling to continue to disguise that layer of clothing, at least in front of her, the innocence has long since disappeared.

Yun Sang saw that Su Yan was back, he immediately went up to meet him, and said joyfully, "Princess, you are definitely back!"

Su Yan nodded and said, "You have worked hard these few days."

Yun Sang shook his head again and again: "The slaves don't work hard, but the prince, who doesn't think about tea and food all day long, only cares about the princess."

Su Yan was startled, turned his head to look at Ye Jing, he glanced at her lightly, and walked in.Don't want tea or rice?Are you talking about Ye Jing?Why didn't she see it at all?
"Okay, go down and have a good rest." Su Yan smiled slightly and said to Yun Sang.

Yun Sang answered "Yes" playfully, and retreated.

Su Yu looked at the direction Yun Sang left, and didn't go back to the room immediately, but called to the dark place: "You Zhu."
