So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

Chapter 49: Innocent Heart, Bridge to the Other Shore

Although Shou Junwu usually shouts and yells when he is with them, the oppressive feeling of being a royal relative is still very prominent in front of outsiders.

"Let me see who is driving up the prices?" he shouted, and the owner of Changji Clothing Store instantly began to tremble like a sieve.

"According to the laws of our dynasty, all goods must be clearly marked with prices. Random price increases will result in a fine and closure of the business at the very least, or caning and exile at the worst. I wonder if the shopkeeper is still going to do business?" He frowned and said coldly.

"No, no, sir, it's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding." The shopkeeper bowed repeatedly, "This dress is a gift from me to Madam."

The shopkeeper immediately winked at the waiter who had just cleverly reported the news, and several of the guys hurriedly folded and packed the clothes.

"How dare you! Do you think I am coveting these things from you?" Shou Junwu's rage grew instead of diminishing.

Xiao Yueshan put ten taels of silver on the table and said, "It's the right amount. I won't be short of money, but business should be based on honesty."

"Yes, yes, ma'am, you are right." The shopkeeper was sweating profusely. "Thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am."

"In addition to the ones I just took, I want all the clothes that Lao Cui from Yonghe Lane sent last spring and summer." She ordered. Since Zhou Yao and Shou Junwu brought people here, they can expand the search range to avoid missing any evidence.

"Yes, ma'am, please wait a moment." The shopkeeper wiped the sweat off his forehead and hurriedly asked the clerk to go to the warehouse to get clothes.

With the pressure of two sets of official uniforms, the guys became more nimble and quickly sorted out the clothes sent by Lao Cui.

Shou Junwu ordered the guards to count the clothes and send them back to the Dali Temple. He took the silver and returned it to Xiao Yueshan, "Sister-in-law has helped me so much, how can I let you spend money again?" He casually told Wo Yan to settle the bill with the shopkeeper, and at the same time asked the shopkeeper to sign his testimony.

After finishing her official duties, Xiao Yueshan introduced Shou Junwu to Qiu Shunci, who was surprised that her sister could be so familiar with the son of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. During these two days together, Qiu Shunci felt that her best friend had changed a lot. She comforted herself that they had not seen each other since Xiao Yueshan got married, and some changes were normal.

Seeing that it was time for dinner again, Shou Junwu suggested going to Zuihuayin as usual. Xiao Yueshan was almost overwhelmed. Although it was her own business, she would get tired of eating it every day. She didn't expect Shou Junwu to be so obsessed. She even suspected that Lu Jiayan had put drugs in the dishes to make this rich young man obsessed.

Forget it, it’s good to keep it in the family, so just eat it.

It was only when I arrived at Zuihuayin that I found out that there was a special performance by Wu Bai recently, and the two new songs released by "Mr. Yuanjun" Lu Jiayan were "Sudden Self" and "Wanderer's Love Song".

Shou Junwu really likes "Sudden Self". He played it five or six times in one night. It made Mr. Qianshan's pipa spark. Xiao Yueshan was almost crazy. It seems that this kid likes to listen to songs on repeat...

In order to avoid repeating in his mind the whole night, "Then don't stay, time will never come back... If there is only this life, why wait to start over", and to ensure that his own business can continue normally, Xiao Yueshan quickly said, "Master Shou, we got a lot of things today, why don't we go back and take a look."

Zhou Yao and Qiu Shunci looked at her with gratitude. This song was really addictive.

Even the shopkeeper Deng Xiao looked at his young lady with gratitude. Although the song was good, he couldn't play it on repeat all the time... It was totally driving away customers.

Yes! Investigating the case is important! I almost forgot about the main thing! Shou Junwu finally pulled himself out of the music world, asked the waiter to pack some snacks, and sent Qiu Shunci home. The three of them rushed back to Dali Temple to check the results of today's work.

The Duke Dingguo Mansion is indeed their plug-in, with all financial, material and human resources fully utilized. Even Ji Shu has never fought such a wealthy war.

When the three of them returned to the Dali Temple, Ji Shu had already arranged for the people brought by Shou Junwu to register the clothes received today.

Now, these burly guards were carefully removing the embroidery and interlayer of the clothes with small scissors. Xiao Yueshan couldn't help laughing when she saw Zhang Fei embroidering.

Shou Junwu put the packed snacks on the table and said, "Teacher Ji, you've been tired all day. Eat something first."

Ji Shu's expression was very solemn, and some of the embroidery on his clothes had been removed.

Without exception, every piece of clothing Yan Niang made had a note tucked underneath the embroidery pattern.

Some were written with a pen, some were written in blood, some were very neat, some were very sloppy, and some did not look like Deng Wenkai's handwriting. It looked like someone had copied the patterns of his handwriting and the characters were not in shape.

But every one of them said: "Jiangzhou embezzled relief, Huainan protected it, the official Shen Xin bribed Kai with benefits, Kai dared not accept it, fearing that he would betray the emperor."

In addition to the twenty-three pieces of clothing found at the beginning, there were eighteen other pieces of clothing that were not embroidered in Yan Niang's style, and there was a note hidden in the embroidery patterns or interlayers.

Yunxiang looked at many of Yanniang's embroidery works and said that this woman's left hand was weak and she must have been injured. The others should have been embroidered by an older person, or her eyesight was not very good. Although this person's hands were sharp, there were many mistakes and omissions in the stitches, which was due to poor eyesight.

Three hundred and sixty lines, the best.

The coroner's autopsy results mentioned that the young female corpse had an injury on her left arm. It was probably because the woman did not receive good medical treatment after the injury and could only rely on self-healing. At the same time, she had to do a lot of work, which led to signs of hyperplasia at the broken hand bone.

The person Ji Shu arranged to check the household registration information also had good news. Deng Wenkai's wife's surname was You, and it was confirmed that the elderly couple were both Deng Wenkai's parents and his parents-in-law.

He and Yan Niang were both adopted by the You couple, so the old couple of the You family also called him their son. However, he was old when they adopted him, so they did not change his surname. The young woman was Deng Wenkai's wife.

He also ordered someone to go to the Ministry of Personnel to borrow Deng Wenkai's personal Jiali file, which recorded in detail his county and township name, his father and grandfather's official titles, his relatives and relatives, his age, appearance, his merits and demerits, and his grades.

The Jiali archives stated that Deng Wenkai was seven feet tall, slender, with sharp corners and a flat warehouse, which corresponded to the blackened corpse of the young man who was poisoned in the stone wall.

It seems that Deng Wenkai's mother and wife kept sewing the notes he left into their clothes, hoping to leave evidence in this way.

A corrupted official uniform was also found in the pile of corpses. Ji Shu had asked the coroner to clean it. One could vaguely see many words written in the interlayer of the uniform. The coroner had copied some of them, which looked like accounts. It would take some time to identify and copy the rest.

The Doctrine of the Mean says: "The heart of a child, the way of utmost sincerity, the unity of knowledge and action are the bridge to the other shore." Deng Wenkai's sincerity is touching.

The four of them looked at the notes they took out from their clothes and couldn't help but shed tears.

Just as he was worrying, Su Liang, the head of the Fengtian Prefecture police, ran in and said, "Master Ji, we have been waiting in Yonghe Lane for the past few days. There is nothing unusual in other families. Today, we caught someone who was trying to escape at night."

After saying that, he asked the detectives to bring him up. Upon closer inspection, they found that the man was a familiar face - Huang Fu, the ox cart driver in Yonghe Lane.
