Chapter 465 Truth and Lies
"It turns out this is Pearl Plum. It's even more beautiful than I imagined."

Bao Simu walked in the Pearl Plum Forest, but couldn't feel happy in his heart.

Li Haiyang picked up a branch, squatted under the tree and dug for a long time, and said with emotion:

"It's buried very deep, but it's new soil."

He patted the sand on his hands, stood up, and looked around, with a layer of solemnity between his brows:
"There must be at least sixty or seventy of these pearl plum trees. They appeared out of thin air overnight in the heavily guarded Jifu Deserted Courtyard. It is difficult to explain and cannot be done by human beings."

Bao Simu's face turned a little pale, but there was anger in his eyes:

"I never believe in ghosts and gods."

Li Haiyang smiled lightly:
"Who can say that they don't believe in the existence of ghosts and gods at all? If you really don't believe it, why do some people always talk about the words 'comfort the dead'? Why do we need to visit the graves of the dead every year?"

Bao Simu gritted his teeth and said:
"At least this matter, I am convinced, is not caused by the undead!"

Li Haiyang raised his eyebrows and smiled noncommittally:
"So, this scene is so beautiful and shocking that it cannot be done by human beings."

After a pause, he whispered thoughtfully:

"It's just that I don't know who it is, and whose heart it wants to shock."

Li Haiyang looked back at Bao Simu and asked:
"Baozi, has Mrs. Ji been here before?"

Bao Simu shook his head with a solemn expression:

"This is the forbidden area of ​​Ji Mansion. My grandpa seems to be very reluctant to have anyone mention this place in front of him."

Li Haiyang turned his head, admired the beautiful scenery in front of him, and said:

"If you want to find out why these pearl plums appear here, you have to ask some people to find out."

Bao Simu nodded and said with concern, "But my grandpa won't let us investigate further."

Li Haiyang:
"It is hard to disobey the emperor's order. Besides, these days, you and I are like headless flies in trouble. Now this pearly plum forest is just the right time."

Bao Simu's eyes lit up, then darkened again, and he frowned hesitantly:

"But, I don't understand, who is the owner of that jade pendant? Why does my uncle insist that we investigate in private and secretly? Isn't it good to investigate openly and openly?"

Li Haiyang took a deep look at Bao Simu and sighed faintly:
"Baozi, you are still too young. When you are my age, you will understand. Lies that cover up the truth are often more unacceptable than the truth once they are exposed to the sun."

After hearing these words, Bao Simu's chaotic thoughts became clearer. He looked at Li Haiyang with burning eyes and said:

"The truth is the truth, and a lie is a lie. No one can hide a lie and live under the sun all his life."

Bao Simu calmed down and said:

"I had doubted whether Chanyi could be my mother or my father's child left outside, so she would have this jade pendant on her body. However, this idea has been eliminated by me. Since this The jade pendant secretly points to Ji Mansion, Master, just think of Pearl Plum as an opportunity and investigate carefully."

Li Haiyang nodded:
"Check it out."

After the seventh prince's case last time, the two of them already had a tacit understanding.

There was a tacit understanding of each other and a clear division of labor. One went into the house to investigate, and the other stayed outside to check if anyone had any clues.

Unfortunately, Bao Simu checked all the pearl plums and found no clues.

When the sky turned slightly dark, Li Haiyang finally walked out of the house. The fatigue and regret on his face told Bao Simu invisibly - no gain, no clues.
