Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 382

Yun Shang sneered in a cold way, "the real culprit must have spent a lot of money for the fake jade token. This jade pendant is forged by the famous make master Li Qian. It's not much different from the real one. The fake master Li Qian died in a ruined temple a few dozen miles away from a small village last night."

"They Killed him to keep the secrets?" Qian Yin frowned.

Yun Shang shook her head. "If they killed him to keep a secret, the murderer wouldn't have left this drawing on Li Qian's body, waiting for my shadow guards to get it. Besides, the man who killed Li Qian seemed to attract my secret guards to get the drawing. The original dark guards couldn't find Li Qian, but someone hired a little beggar to inform them the information about Li Qian."

"Is there a trap?" Qian Yin frowned and asked.

Yun Shang shook her head. "I know that Li Qian is a fake master, because my grandfather was deceived by him in the past too. He is good at faking. But he has a habit of leaving his own marks on his faked things." Yun Shang pointed to the painting in her hands. She could see faintly some visible lines on it, which seemed to be a Li character from a fine take-up, as if the lines were not well acquainted with ink and had a gap.

"I just came back from the imperial palace. If I go back to the palace again now, I'm afraid people will feel suspicious about it. Tomorrow, I'll go to my father and take the jade badge to see if it is really a fake one prepared by Li Qian." Yun Shang said calmly, putting the drawing away carefully. Besides the jade badge, the crowds also thought it was the evidence of Prince Jing's murder of Cangjue Kangning because someone heard his voice. Everyone at the Yuman tower heard that Cangjue Kangning and Prince Jing had a quarrel. If The jade badge was a fake one, then the voice of Prince Jing must be fake too.

"Who can imitate Prince Jing's voice so well?" Yun Shang murmured with a frown on her face.

Qian Yin, who stood behind her, thought for a while and said, "when I was a child, there was a barista who came in our village who could imitate the sound of all kinds of animals. He was quite similar to the master."

A master of imitating all kinds of voice? Yun Shang was taken aback. She turned to Qian Yin and ordered, "send someone to keep an eye on all the masters who could imitate voices in the whole imperial city. Also, investigate Li Qian again. I want to know his recent whereabouts and who he has met these days."

Qian Yin nodded her head. Yun Shang kept silent for a while and felt strange. She thought to herself, Cangjue Kangning was indeed in the Yuman tower. Many people saw him go downstairs. If it was a verbal entertainer who cheated the common people downstairs, then Cangjue Kangning and Prince Jing had been arguing for a long time. He couldn't be deceived by a verbal entertainer, right?
