There were not as many people in Yangchuanfang during the day as there were at night, especially when something as big as a murder occurred. After the brief bustle, there was no one in front of Yuheng Tower.
The nearby Chunlou people were cursing and saying that tonight's business would be affected, while the girls in Yuhenglou were thinking about what to do in the future.
The guard stepped forward to ask for instructions, and Xin Shun nodded: "Go ahead."
The Yamen Guards and soldiers from Congxinwei Mansion surrounded Yuheng Tower, and a large number of people went in to search. The girls' jewelry was turned upside down, letters, books, calligraphy and paintings were taken away, and cabinets of all sizes were opened. Some
The large cabinet and bed were also moved away with force to check whether there were hidden compartments.
The whole Yuheng Tower was in a state of uproar, and the sound of a woman crying anxiously could be heard constantly.
Finally, five letters were found in the chief steward's study, three from Yong'an and two from Linning. The contents of the letters completely confirmed the connection between Yuheng Tower and the Daping Dynasty.
A young general from the Xinwei Mansion came out and asked if everyone in Yuheng Tower should be taken away.
Xin Shun thought for a while and nodded: "Take them all away."
The onlookers did not dare to come closer this time and gathered around from a distance. Xin Shun stood in the sky and read the five letters. There was not much confidential content, and two of them were letters from home.
A fast horse galloped forward, and the sound of hoofbeats penetrated the lively crowd.
Xin Shun looked back and saw that the person coming was the Yamen Guards.
"Sir!" the Yamen Guard gasped after dismounting his horse, "Something happened, Mr. Chen is dead!"
"Chen Yongming?"
"Master Chen committed suicide! He also set fire to He Xinyun!"
Xin Shun frowned and looked at him without speaking.
"It was... committing suicide out of fear of crime." the Yamen Guard continued.
"Is there any letter left at the scene?"
"Um."
"I know," Xin Shun looked away, turned around and walked towards the sedan, "Go back to the Yamen."
As the sedan chair left, the girls and maids in Yuheng Tower, as well as the handymen, including the cooks in the backyard, were all taken away in a large manner.
The crowd did not disperse immediately. Xie Zhong and his entourage stood at the far end of the crowd. Xie Zhong looked at Xin Shun's sedan with envy in his eyes.
"Sir, it's been really chaotic these days." said the young attendant.
"Yes." Xie Zhong nodded.
"Qian Fengrong has been moving goods at the dock for so long, but he still doesn't find anything useful." The young attendant pouted.
Xie Zhong glanced at him and said nothing.
In fact, the warehouse list given by Qian Fengrong was very useful.
"Huh?" the attendant called, "Sir, wanted portrait!"
Xie Zhong followed his expectations and found two brand new portraits.
With just one glance, Xie Zhong immediately recognized the person in the painting.
"Why is it her!" Xie Zhong was surprised and walked over quickly.
"Sir, do you know him?"
"You also know," Xie Zhong said, "the girl who left Zhaozhou when we came by boat."
"Oh!" The attendant slapped his head, "It's the beauty that this big pervert like Qian Fengrong can't forget!"
"It must be her," Xie Zhong looked at the portrait of Zhi Changle on the side, "This one also matches."
"That's a coincidence, isn't it?"
Xie Zhong thought for a while, then stepped forward to take off the portrait, when he heard shouting: "There's more over there! Hurry!"
Xie Zhong stopped and saw two government guards running up quickly. They came up and tore off the portrait that had just been posted.
They already had a stack in their hands, folded the torn portraits, and were ready to go to the next place.
"Two officers," the young attendant called to them, "what are you doing, have you been caught?"
"It's wrong, it's wrong, they are not the people we want to arrest!"
"Oh, then they are..."
"It's none of your business! It's not the murderer anyway!" the Yamen guard scolded, and the two of them ran away quickly, looking like they were in a hurry.
"Bah!" the little follower spat.
"Let's go, let's go." Xie Zhong said with a gentle smile.
Because something happened at Yuheng Tower, there were a lot of portraits sent here immediately.
The guards worked separately, panting from exhaustion.
Doctor Li and his young apprentice packed their bags and were about to leave, when they saw two government guards tearing up the portrait that had just been posted.
"This is strange," the young apprentice said, "Master, what are they doing?"
Doctor Li shook his head.
"I think we might as well go to the Yamen?"
Dr. Li was also hesitating whether to go or not.
The current situation is chaotic, and a medical hospital is a good place to stay. Now that I have abandoned a safe place, I really don’t know where to go in the future.
"Furthermore, everyone in Yuheng Tower has been taken away, which means that none of the people in Yuheng Tower are good people. Then those who killed them must not be bad people. Then those of us who show the way are not bad people, right?" The young apprentice continued. said.
Although it sounded a bit confusing, Doctor Li understood: "Huh? Why is your head so smart?"
"Then let's go to the Yamen?"
Doctor Li thought for a while, but still hesitated: "How about we go to the Yamen to have a look, and we don't necessarily go in, but we just hang around the door?"
"Yeah!" The little apprentice nodded.
A big palm suddenly slapped Dr. Li on the shoulder.
Doctor Li turned around in fright.
The young tall man looked at him coldly: "Doctor Li?"
Doctor Li stammered: "I'm not..."
"That's him!" There was another person standing next to the man, who was one of Dr. Li's chess friends.
"You!" Dr. Li's eyes widened.
"We, General Nie, have invited us," said the young and tall man, "and we would also like to ask Doctor Li to come with us."
"General, general..." Dr. Li's knees softened and he almost collapsed.
The young apprentice quickly helped him with his eyesight, but he was also sweating: "Yes, General Nie?"
There were not many generals with the surname Nie, but the most famous one had a high and powerful position. If he stamped his feet, his entire compliance would be shaken up.
"Let's go," the man said.
Xin Shun returned to the government office and heard that Nie Huimo had arrived.
Rushing to the autopsy room, Nie Huimo sat on a chair, with a handsome profile and a pair of cold black eyes falling quietly on the five corpses.
"General." Xin Shun approached and said.
There was another corpse in the entire autopsy room, and the ice had just been delivered.
Xin Shun's eyes fell on the rolled-up portrait in Nie Huimo's hand. He coughed lightly and said, "This Ah Li, she..."
"Sir, how certain are you that we can catch her in Congxin," Nie Huimo said.
Xin Shun paused for a moment, then said bravely: "Fengcai has never thought about this."
"You don't want to catch her?" Nie Huimo turned to look at him.
"This, I can't catch it."
"Where's the trap?" Nie Huimo said.
"trap?"
"Know what she wants and fulfill her request, and she will obediently throw herself into the trap."
Xin Shun was stunned: "General, is it either Li Qian or Bei Yuan?"
"Look," Nie Huimo looked back at the corpses, "her weaknesses are so obvious."
"That's true..." Xin Shun said in a low voice.
I don't know why, but I feel sad in my heart.
She is only a young girl, yet she is burdened with such deep hatred of her country and her family.
