Yunshu thanked the waiter, changed into new clothes, and came to Dongfeng Street.

Soon he found the place where his savior had said he would sell himself to bury his father.

The woman's hair was disheveled like grass and her face was pale. She sat there crying with her head down. In front of her lay her father, covered with a white cloth.

Xie Yunshu said: "Go bury your father first." Then he squatted down and gave the woman ten taels of silver.

"Thank you, Miss Yunshu." It seems that this is the woman the savior was talking about.

"The young master asked Miss to go back to the Minister's Mansion because something important has happened. I will wait for you in the Marquis' Mansion."

Yunshu looked up at the sun. It was almost noon and he felt a little hungry, so he went to the Minister's residence to have lunch.

Yun Shu didn't know why she listened to that young master.

Maybe it was the reason that saved her life.

I don’t know what the big deal is?

Yun Shu returned to the Minister's Mansion and felt it was dead compared to the joyous scene just now.

She had only been gone for over an hour, what had happened?

There were even fewer people appreciating the flowers in the garden, and there were even maids and servants carrying white cloth and white curtains to decorate the courtyard.

This is a scene of someone dying. Could it be Minister Li? After all, he is old, and something like that happened to him. It is normal for him to not be able to hold on and die all of a sudden.

Yun Shu came to the main hall and everyone had solemn and sad expressions.

Minister Li was also sitting here, like an old man in his twilight years, completely different from the high-spirited man he was just now.

If Minister Li hadn't died, who else could be in charge of this Minister's Mansion?

Ren Yunshu racked his brains but could not imagine that he was the one who died.

Li Ye asked, "Where have you been during this time, Yunshu?"

"I went out to relax after fighting with Li Yufei." Almost all members of the Li family were here, but they didn't see Li Yufei slapping her.

"After Yufei quarreled with you, she was killed when she returned home." Li Ye said.

What, Li Yufei is dead, is this true or false?

How is this possible? Li Yufei was living a good life until her death in her previous life.

The case has been reported to the Minister's Mansion and people from the government office have arrived.

Li Yufei's body was still in her room.

Zhao Xinfeng, the county magistrate of the Beijing government, and his men are still investigating one by one.

Those who are not suspected will be allowed to go, while those who are suspected will be kept for further questioning.

Xie Qingyun cried and said, "Yunshu, why did you slap Sister Yufei? If it wasn't for that slap, Sister Yufei wouldn't be angry and wouldn't..."

At this time, the county magistrate Zhao Xinfeng came over and asked, "Why wasn't this lady here when she was interrogated just now?" She happened to be wearing a light green dress, and she remembered the light green silk thread in Li Yufei's fingernails.

"Reporting to the master, after arguing with Miss Li, I felt bored and went out for a walk. I just came back from outside."

"Since the young lady has left, why did she come back?"

"This is my cousin's house. I'm here to enjoy the flowers today, so of course I have to come back for lunch."

People don't kill themselves.

Yun Shu was telling the truth.

Zhao Xinfeng stepped forward and said to Li Ye: "Sir Li, I have found several clues."

"Miss Li must have been killed at 9:00 p.m. with a single knife." Stabbed in the heart, the Li family members burst into tears.

Especially Li Yufei's mother, who had just seen Li Yufei's body and fainted from crying. She has just woken up and is holding on to her last breath.

Unexpectedly, when she heard Zhao Xinfeng talking about her daughter's death again, her face was immediately filled with tears. Who on earth killed her daughter? She wanted to cut her into pieces.

"Miss Li holds a strand of green silk in her hands and between her fingernails. This should be what she grabbed from the murderer." Zhao Xinfeng showed everyone the silk thread preserved in his palm.

Green, green, this is the evidence Fei'er left for her of the murderer.

Who is wearing green clothes here?

"I have questioned them one by one. Considering the time when Miss Li was killed, only five people meet the conditions for killing Miss Li."

"Those five people?" Li Yufei's mother asked anxiously.

"This is still my preliminary judgment. We need to interrogate the details in detail, but these five people have no motive to kill Miss Li." Zhao Xinfeng continued: "Liu Erniang, the cook of the Minister's Mansion, Mingshan, the eldest son of the Jiang Mansion, Li Yuling, the second wife of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, Song Fendi, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and a young man named Fang Tingshen."

After saying that, Zhao Xinfeng glanced at Xie Yunshu: "Xie Yunshu, the eldest lady of Yong'an Marquis Mansion, also has a grudge."

Li Yufei's mother, Feng, cried and shouted, "I knew it was her. First she slapped my daughter, and then she tried to kill her." After saying that, she was about to rush forward to hit Xie Yunshu. She looked like she would not be satisfied even if she killed Yunshu.

Zhao Xinfeng's men hurriedly stopped Feng and said, "It's just a grudge. Find the real murderer first. Madam Li, don't be impulsive."

"Who else could it be? It's her. Yufei is a good child and has no grudges against anyone. But today, just because I called her a motherless child, she wants to kill Yufei." Feng was angry.

Feng's husband, Li Yufei's biological father, Li Wen, had a hateful expression on his face. He comforted Feng and said, "When Lord Zhao finds out the murderer, if it is really Xie Yunshu, our Minister's Mansion will definitely not let her go."

The six people whose lives were at stake were called to the living room to talk.

Except for the cook who was trembling, everyone else was calm.

Zhao Xinfeng first asked the cook: "What are you doing at Sishi?"

"I feel... I am not feeling well. I will go back to my room and rest."

"Who can testify?"

"I was resting alone, and there was no one to testify." The cook replied in a trembling voice: "I have never seen such a big scene, I was scared, but I definitely did not kill the second young lady."

Zhao Xinfeng came to Jiang Mingshan and asked, "What is Mr. Jiang doing at this time?"

"I am admiring the flowers by the lotus pond in the back garden."

"Who can testify?"

"The sun was a bit hot at that time, and many people had returned to the pavilion. No one was in the lotus pond. If there were maids and servants walking around, they should be able to see me."

Jiang Mingshan's family is in business, and they have a large fortune. He has nothing to do with Li Yufei. If you say he killed someone, he really has no motive at all.

Zhao Xinfeng walked up to Li Yuling again.

Li Yuling still had tears on her face. It was her niece who died. She cried, "Lord Zhao, Yufei is my niece. At 9:00 PM, I was chatting with the lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the front hall."

"So, you are with Miss Song?"

Song Fendi also stepped forward and said, "At that time, we were chatting together all the time and didn't move around."

Finally, Zhao Xinfeng asked Fang Tingshen, "Mr. Fang, right? Where were you and what were you doing at that time?"

"I am a friend of Mr. Li Chengyuan. I came here today to attend the flower-viewing banquet at the Minister's Mansion."

Zhao Xinfeng interrupted and said, "Just answer whatever you ask, Master Fang."

"I remember that after I talked to Miss Xie, I went back to the back garden to look for someone."

Li Yi asked: "What do you say there?"

"After Miss Xie and Miss Li had an argument, I saw Miss Xie walking to the backyard alone, so I went to greet her. After greeting Miss Xie, I went to the study to find Master Li."

"Ms. Xie, where did you go at that time? Didn't you just say that you went out after arguing with Miss Li?" Zhao Xinfeng asked Xie Yunshu.
