"Your Majesty, we have checked everywhere and there is nothing suspicious, but this is indeed the place where women suffer the most."

Gao Fei walked in from outside. He had already checked the wounds on the bodies, and now it was enough to prove that the other party killed all these women with a dagger.

The modus operandi was very similar, and it was obviously the work of the same person.

"Now let's get rid of all these corpses and preserve them first. We will make a decision when the government starts investigating the case."

After Zhu Han finished his instructions, Gao Fei immediately began to make a decision.

Back on the carriage, Zhu Han told Zhu Biao what he had discovered.

Zhu Biao was shocked and had already followed some clues that Zhu Han could provide.

It is actually not easy to find such a killer in Jiangnan, and the business of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce has already suffered huge losses.

Now the other party has been committing crimes in the Jiangnan area, and the women are all panic-stricken.

Based on the identities of those women, it can be seen that the crime rate in brothels is now the highest.

Zhu Biao thought about it and looked at Zhu Han in shock.

"Uncle Emperor, then should we go to the brothel and have a look, if we can make some discoveries."

"Perhaps we can give those women a way out. If they have really been touched by the murderer, they may be able to follow the clues."

He now feels that the location where he lives is very unsafe, and he wants to move out of the private school, but Zhu Han refuses.

"After all, it is Mr. Song's sincere wish. How could we let his hard work come to nothing like this?"

Zhu Han seemed to have thought of something, so he also gave a few instructions in front of Zhu Biao.

"It just so happens that since we are already here, the private school is the best hiding place."

Zhu Biao listened to Zhu Han's words and nodded in agreement, but he also knew the seriousness of the matter now.

If there is no way to investigate the real culprit, some situations will occur again and again.

It is likely to have some impact on them.

When I returned to the private school, I happened to bump into Ma Rui.

It turned out that he had just come out from teaching the students and met Zhu Han.

Ma Rui was respectful to Zhu Han.

"It is true that the lantern festivals are very beautiful these two days outside. You should take a closer look. This is a special feature of our Jiangnan. If you are single, you may be able to find your perfect match."

Ma Rui gave an introduction to Zhu Han, and Zhu Han nodded gently.

"Mr. Ma, I have been teaching and educating these students here over the years, but are there people from high school?"

Zhu Han and Ma Rui started talking in the yard.

Ma Rui told Zhu Han that he had indeed taught many students in the past few years, but because of the changes in the imperial examination system, it was difficult for those students to pass the exam.

"Your Majesty, you have always been very strict about the imperial examinations, so the talents who stand out in the imperial examinations every year will definitely receive your Majesty's attention."

"Those students all started competing with each other. It is actually a very simple matter to select some more outstanding talents among the students."

Ma Rui sighed as he spoke. He put the book in his hand on the table, picked up the tea and poured Zhu Han a cup.

"Here, all those who study hard but have mediocre qualifications will be screened out."

Zhu Han was indeed thoughtful,

It is very important for the imperial court to be able to select some talents among the candidates who take the imperial examination every year. Only after these talents have been selected at all levels can they gain a foothold in the court.

This has always been what Song Lian is most concerned about,

Every year, students who take part in the imperial examination must undergo multiple investigations, and Zhu Yuanzhang has also ordered that these students must be investigated based on fundamental principles.

They wanted to investigate their ancestors for eighteen generations.

Only people with an innocent family background and some knowledge can stay in Yingtian Mansion and study hard in Gongyuan.

This has always been Zhu Yuanzhang's most vigorous and resolute strategy.

Zhu Biao sat aside and listened to their conversation, suddenly a little curious.

Song Lian has always been very important to his students, and he can see it.

The relationship between Song Lian and Ma Rui is indeed extraordinary.

It would be unreasonable for two people who are so close to just take part in the imperial examination together.

"I'm a little curious about how Mr. Ma and Mr. Song met. Mr. Song has now become the head of civil servants and is deeply favored by His Majesty."

"Since you have some friendship with Mr. Song, why haven't I seen you?"

Ma Rui listened to Zhu Biao's words, smiled lightly, and quickly explained.

It turned out that he and Song Lian had known each other ten years ago, and they took part in the imperial examination together.

Back then, Song Lian was the number one scholar in the imperial examination, and Ma Rui was also a prostitute.

But later he was outcast in the court, so he resigned and returned to his hometown and became a teacher.

"Although being a teacher is relatively leisurely, I can meet different people. All of them want to take the imperial examination road and work hard to serve the country."

Zhu Han and Zhu Biao were both deeply affected by Ma Rui's words. At this moment, Zhu Han suddenly asked.

"Since you have met so many people, I would like to know what kind of person Fang Yuanruo is in your eyes."

Zhu Han's words stunned Ma Rui.

From Song Lian's attitude towards Zhu Han and Zhu Biao, it can be seen that they must be nobles of Yingtian Mansion.

Ma Rui looked at Zhu Han in surprise.

It would also be a good thing if one of his students could take the imperial examination in Yingtian Mansion and get help from noble people.

Ma Rui told Zhu Han his opinion. In fact, he had always been extremely positive about Fang Yuanruo.

Among so many students, Fang Yuanruo is the only one who has been studying hard.

On weekdays, he is also filial to his teachers. He always gets along very harmoniously with his students and is deeply concerned by Ma Rui.

"His family is quite miserable. His mother pulled him back. In order to allow him to study all these years when he grew up alone, his mother..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ma Rui paused as he spoke, with a trace of sadness in his eyes. He skipped the topic and recounted Fang Yuanruo's hard work while studying.

"Among these students, I prefer him to go to high school. After all, he can have his own way out. His good study is more important than anything else."

Zhu Han listened but smiled and said nothing.

He suddenly turned his head and glanced at Principle, but did not find Fang Yuanruo's figure, so he asked curiously.

"Fang Yuanruo doesn't stay in the private school on weekdays. I don't think I saw him studying in the courtyard?"

After hearing Zhu Han's words, Ma Rui quickly explained.

"He still has a mother to take care of at home. Although there is a place for him in the private school, he comes back to live there on weekdays."

"It's okay to stay outside for the night. This is the help my private school provides him. It can also be considered as a place where he can study with peace of mind."

Ma Rui spoke in detail, and Zhu Han was very satisfied.

Just when he wanted to continue asking, the students on the side had questions for Ma Rui.

Ma Rui hurriedly went to answer the students' questions.

Zhu Han and Zhu Biao were sitting in the courtyard. Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Han doubtfully.

"Do you feel there is something wrong with this Fang Yuanruo?"

Zhu Han looked at Zhu Biao and explained his guess.

He was in the private school for a few days. Every time he went to handle a case, Fang Yuanruo was not in the private school, and his whereabouts seemed to be erratic every time.

According to what Ma Rui said, if he had to take care of his mother at home, he would have few opportunities to study every day, and he would also want to obtain fame.

This is really too contradictory.

"I had already seen the injury on his hand that day. Combined with the investigation and reporting news in the past few days, I saw that this person was very deliberate. I have to arrange for Gao Fei to conduct a good investigation to see his whereabouts in the past few days."

Zhu Biao admired Zhu Han very much. They had been secretly investigating the murder case for the past few days in Jiangnan. They did not expect that Zhu Han would make such a discovery.

"That's it, we can quickly find the murderer, but it's just those poor women."

As he spoke, he suddenly felt a little emotional.

It's really scary to live your life normally, only to be hurt by someone in the blink of an eye.

"Although I have been reduced to a prostitute, I will not be killed like this. No matter what, I must give them justice."

Zhu Han looked at Zhu Biao with interest, closed the folding fan in his hand, and tapped his head gently.

"The prince must also study hard. Look at how hard these students work. The purpose of studying is to gain fame. The prince has such good conditions, so he must not slack off."

Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly, "Uncle Huang said yes, I remember it."

Zhu Han looked at Zhu Biao and smiled.

That afternoon, Gao Fei returned to the private school and told Zhu Han some of the information he had investigated.
