Chapter 397 The Truth (Part One)


    However, Yun Shang didn''te back. Prince Jing asked the butler to look around the mansion for


    her, but he couldn''t find her. He guessed that Yun Shang must have gone out. After thinking for a while,


    Prince Jing told the Butler about Yun Shang''s whereabouts, and left a letter to her. Then he rushed to


    the small forest in the south of the city, waiting for his people to meet him.


    At this time, Yun Shang was in the Yuman tower. In the wing room, there were all kinds of people,


    including beggars, prostitutes and peddlers.


    "I asked you to pay attention to the movements in the imperial city a few days ago, but I am afraid that


    my guards didn''t get my intention loud and clear. That is why I came here myself today to ask you


    something, something small but important." Yun Shang took the only seat in the wing room, and


    scanned the people in the room with a casual nce.


    Everyone gazed at Yun Shang. They dared not to breathe heavily in fear of disturbing this beautiful


    woman.


    "How about the price of the oil in the city a few days ago?" Yun Shang said gently.


    The others didn''t expect that Yun Shang would ask such a question. They were silent for a moment

    before someone said, "the price has increased a month ago. It is one kilo of oil. It has increased about


    four hundred. I asked the owner some days ago and dared not buy it because I can not afford it."


    Yun Shang knocked her fingers slightly on the table and asked, "is there any store selling oil? Do you


    know which store is the first to rise the price of the oil? "


    "At the beginning, it is the Li''s shop in the south of the city who rose the price. The price of his store


    didn''t soar that much at first. It just increased one hundred per kilo. Butter, I found that the city''s


    stock of the oil became less and less, so the price seemed to rise very soon. So the Li''s shop


    increased it again in a hurry." Said a woman.


    Yun Shang meditated for a moment and nodded her head, "there is a soldier of the prison living in the


    Shui Jing Alley of the west of the city. Does anyone know his name?"


    "I remember him. His name is Liu Sanjin." A bearded man with a cloth which was broken from the iron


    mouth said to her in a hurry.


    Yun Shang chuckled, "what about his character?"


    The middle-aged man with long beard meditated for a moment before he said, "he has a straight


    temper and is always jealous of evil. He often bragged that he was a inferior in the court of justice. But


    he fell ill not long ago all of a sudden and was in aa all day. One day, I saw he go to work


    with his pale face and told him to have a good rest. But he somehow diedter. I don''t know what


    happened to him. He used toe to me to ask for fortune tellers. I even gave his family fifty when he


    was buried. "


    Yun Shang thought about it for a while and nodded her head. "Have you noticed any strange people


    "A strange person?" The fortune teller shook his head. "I set up a fortune teller near his house, but I


    haven''t seen anyone strangeing to him."


    "There is a strange person!" A beggar who was about ten years old squeezed out from the crowd and


    walked to Yun Shang. "Hearing your words, I suddenly remembered that day I got a chicken leg. I was


    afraid that it would be taken away by other beggars, so I hid myself in a big tree to eat the chicken leg.


    It was daytime, and the prison guard should have gone to work, but I saw a maning out of his


    house. When he walked out of his home, I thought he was a rtive of the prison guard, so I didn''t pay


    much attention to him. But it suddenly urred to me that the man with a full beard and a machete in


    his hand was dressed so well that he didn''t look like a citizen of the state of Ning. "


    The fortune teller also patted his thigh and said, "Yes, I remember too! by the way, I''ve seen a lot. The


    outfit of that man should belong to the state of Yng."


    The state of Yng. Yun Shang knocked at the teacup on the table with a crisp sound when she heard


    the words. Did Cangjue Kangning get involved in it?


    Yun Shang kept her countenance and continued asking, "has anyone from the state of Ynge


    here in the city in recent half a month?"


    "Yes, they have." Another old beggar immediately said, "I was begging at the gate of the city. More than


    ten days ago, there were people from the state of Yng entering the city. But they all dressed like


    people from the state of Ning. When they entered the city, they said thenguage of the state of Ning.


    But when I went to beg them for money, they cursed me for a while. And I knew they said thenguage


    of the state of Yng."


    Yun Shang fell silent on the old beggar''s words. It was about a month ago when Cangjue Kangning


    came into the city. With their status, they would not hide the fact that they were from the state of Yng


    at all. The people the old beggar saw was probably... They were probably the people of Cangjue


    Qingsu. But she didn''t know if Cangjue Qingsu was among them as well.


    At the thought of Prince Cangjue Kangning''s death, Yun Shang suddenly realized that she had been


    somewhat puzzled before. Killing Prince Cangjue Kangning would only lead to discontent in the state of


    Yng. If it were Li Jingyan and the seventh prince of the state of Xia who killed him, they wouldn''t


    have done that.


    Cangjue Qingsu and Li Jingyan had always been in touch with each other because of Hua Jing. It was


    not surprising that they would join hands to make the n.


    Yun Shang suppressed her guess in her heart and turned to everyone. "I want to know things like this,


    especially the details that are a bit strange. It''s not as big as you think. It doesn''t have to be


    any big events. Think it over again. Is there something like this happening in the city?"
