It had to be said that Ji Yunshu had learned a new skill.
In modern times, this would be called cultural relic restoration.
This woman was not only an expert in portrait reconstruction, but she was also very skilled in restoration work.
She waved her brush and wrote four characters on the paper – Han Chang Jian Seal.
There was also a flower next to it.
She said, "This should be a square seal with the words' Han Chang Jian Seal 'engraved on it. In the middle of these four characters, there is a picture of a flower, but I'm not sure what kind of flower it is."
She was sure it was those four characters.
One of the new officials stretched his neck to look at the paper. He was rather doubtful, "But, there is only a small print on the corner of the book. Teacher Ji, are you sure there are only four characters? Also, where did you get the blurry picture you drew? "" I saw the blurry picture in the other book! " She explained, "I think when this seal fell, it left a very small and blurry mark on the two books. In other words, if we can find this seal, we will be able to find out which night the book was delivered.
Who are the owners of the books that entered the room? Or rather, the owner of the seal is also the owner of these two books. In that case … "
Jing Rong frowned and finished her sentence, "So, the murderer is either related to the owner of the seal, or … the murderer is the owner of the seal."
The murderer is the owner of the seal!
And all the key lies in this seal.
When the two of them reached this conclusion, they did not notice the expressions of Li Cheng and the other old officials.
When he saw the four characters, Li Cheng almost lost his balance.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
His palms were sweating profusely.
Jing Rong tilted his head to look at him and noticed the abnormality.
He asked, "Heir Cheng, do you know who it is?"
Yes, he knew!
And he knew it clearly.
But now, he couldn't say a single word.
It was as if his throat was blocked by something.
The whole hall of the City Sector was deathly silent.
The atmosphere was heavy.
Finally, a surprised old official said, "This is the seal of the Hanlin Academy."
"Hanlin Academy?"
"Yes, it's the Hanlin Academy."
"Whose?"
The old official had some misgivings, he did not know if he should say it or not.
After all, the owner of this seal was no ordinary person!
Seeing that he didn't answer, the impatient Jing Rong put on a cold face and said, "I hope you can understand that this case is under the jurisdiction of the City Division. Or not? It's all your fault. It has nothing to do with us. "
Make your attitude clear.
The old official swallowed and glanced at Li Cheng before saying, "It's … Hanlin Academy's Lord Gong."
"Which Lord Gong?"
He was about to say —
Li Cheng interrupted, "Gong Zuo Xiang's son … Gong Shilin."
"It's him?" Ji Yunshu was shocked.
They had all seen the banquet hosted by the Third Prince.
That modest and courteous Official Gong!
Unexpectedly, a person who seemed to have nothing to do with the case actually became the key figure of the entire case.
Now, Li Cheng was in a complicated mood. That kind of feeling was indescribable.
His expression was extremely unsightly, and his facial features looked as if they were about to twist together.
He sat down on the chair weakly, and his soft and powerless fist lightly smashed on the tea table beside him.
…
It was still snowing.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier.
Almost all of Gaoding City was covered under the white snow.
Gong Shilin didn't know why, but he suddenly brought a pot of wine and went to the Third Prince's residence.
Na Tuo was feeling proud because of Na Yan's matter.
He was planning to find someone to celebrate with, but Gong Shilin unexpectedly came!
He even brought wine with him.
He hurriedly pulled Gong Shilin into the room and sat down.
"What kind of wind is it today? Why did you take the initiative to come here? I was just about to send someone to find you! Tell me, did you hear about me and Na Yan, so you want to drink to celebrate? "Na Tuo said as he poured two full cups of wine.
He handed one to Gong Shilin.
Gong Shilin's expression was cold, and his eyes were empty. He took the wine and drank it in one gulp.
He looked very forthright.
Na Tuo felt a little strange.
His whole atmosphere was wrong.
"Shilin, what's wrong?"
He smiled and said, "It's nothing."
"You and I have known each other for so many years. How could I not know what's on your mind? Tell me, what's wrong? "
"It's really nothing …"
"Don't tell me it's nothing." Na Tuo took the empty wine cup in front of him and filled it with wine as he said, "As long as I can solve it for you, nothing else is a problem! Hurry up and tell me, don't hide everything in your heart. "
Gong Shilin picked up the wine cup and took a small sip.
He looked down at the wine in the cup and was silent for a long time.
Finally, he asked, "If you were given a choice, what would you choose?"
"What choice?"
"Me, and your throne."
Ah!
Na Tuo was shocked, "Why you and the throne?"
Gong Shilin looked up, his fingers holding the wine cup tightened. "If … I mean if! If I committed an unforgivable crime, and you need to give up your throne to save me, what would you choose? "
This was really a dilemma!
For Na Tuo, everything he did now was only for one thing, and that was to become the Crown Prince.
To become the future King of Huyi!
Above tens of thousands of people!
The path that he had planned had nothing to do with his good brother Gong Shilin's interests or conflicts of interest.
But now, it was put together and he had to make a choice.
Difficult!
More difficult than ascending to the heavens!
Na Tuo stared at him in confusion. "Why do you suddenly ask?"
Gong Shilin said, "Just tell me, what will you choose?"
"…"
Gong Shilin did not press him anymore, but continued to drink.
He waited for the person opposite to think clearly.
After a long time —
Na Tuo said seriously, "If, you really committed an unforgivable crime, I will do my best to save you, even if … I have to sacrifice my throne."
"Really?"
"Shilin, I am not as heartless as you think! You and I grew up together, we are closer than brothers and sisters, how can I watch you get into trouble and do nothing? I think, if it were you, you would make the same choice as me. "
This answer was beyond Gong Shilin's expectations.
Because, since the first day he met Na Tuo, in Na Tuo's eyes and heart, it had always been the throne.
But he did not expect that the person who yearned for power would make such a choice!
