Li Cheng didn't believe what the woman said.
Immediately he asked, "You said that Du Mubai and Su Qiao had long been in love with each other, is this true or false?"
The woman said, "My lord, the women don't dare to lie, and everything they say is true."
"You are talking nonsense!"
"Sir..." The woman immediately knelt down, lowered her head, trembling all over her body, obviously frightened by Li Cheng, and said quickly, "If your lord doesn't believe it, you can send someone to Nanshen to find out. The girls know that."
Li Cheng's face was ugly.
In his impression, Du Mubai was a modest gentleman with an upright person. If he had already made a private life with other women in his hometown, how would he show his heart to his elder sister
What's the difference between this and the prodigal son!
Ji Yunshu had long noticed that something was wrong with Li Cheng. As long as it was about Du Mubai's relationship, he was very excited.
Among them, there must be something tricky!
Then he asked aloud: "Cheng Shizi, you don't believe that Du Mubai is good with others, do you know something?"
Li Cheng paused for a moment, and said quickly: "What can I know? It's just... Du Mubai is a guest of my house, and I have never heard him say anything about Su Qiao, let alone a good relationship, so I just Do not believe."
The eyes are good, the tone is good.
They are all lying!
But Ji Yunshu looked at him a few times, with some doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask any further, and instead asked the woman, "Do you know when Su Qiao came to Gao Ding?"
The woman thought for a while: "Probably... it's this time."
"Then does she have any relatives in the capital?"
"She and I are both orphans, without parents, let alone relatives." The woman choked a few times.
"Since she came to Gaoding for Du Mubai, did she tell you what it was for Du Mubai?" "She told me that Du Mubai is a very talented person and would never steal. She didn't believe that he would commit suicide, because she always said that Du Mubai was an arrogant person and would never commit suicide no matter what. So, after she saved enough money to redeem herself, she came to Gao immediately.
Sure, we want to find out what happened to Du Mubai's death? I just didn't expect... she actually died. "The woman cried more and more and left.
Tears kept falling down!
Ji Yunshu frowned and pondered softly, "If Su Qiao came to Gao Ding to find out the cause of Du Mubai's death, then, after she was settled in the inn by Miss Zhao Er, she still went out from time to time. Where did she go?"
And Jingrong, who was on the side, heard her words, and then took the end of the sentence and said, "Since Su Qiao has no relatives or acquaintances in the capital, then if she wants to find out the cause of Du Mubai's death, she must go to find Du Mubai's death. Mu Bai is someone you know well."
remind!
Li Cheng: "A person Du Mubai knows? What do you mean?"
He didn't understand, but Ji Yunshu understood.
She reopened Du Mubai's file and saw several names on it.
"Fang Tong? Jiang Wen? Bingzheng?"
Um
Isn't this the person who invited Song Zhi to the poetry party last time
What do they have to do with Du Mubai? Ji Yunshu looked at Jingrong and said, "You're right, Su Qiao will definitely find someone who knows Du Mubai first! And when Du Mubai lived in the Wenshe, he lived in the same room with these three people. , and it was these three people who discovered Du Mubai's body first, so... If I were Su Qiao
If so, I think, I'll go to them first. "
Jing Rong nodded and smiled.
Li Cheng was stunned, and immediately ordered the guards waiting outside, "Go, hurry up and check these people, where are they now?"
"Yes!"
The guards were ordered to investigate immediately.
At the same time, Ji Yunshu helped the woman who was kneeling on the ground up.
"Girl, get up first."
The woman wiped away her tears, looked at the handsome man in front of her, and said, "Sir, I have told you everything I know. If there is nothing else, then I will leave first."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "Okay."
The woman saluted and walked away with a trembling.
Afterwards, Li Cheng was confused: "But if Su Qiao was trying to find out about Du Mubai's death, why did she die?"
Jing Rong said indifferently, "Perhaps... Du Mubai's death was indeed a mystery, but at that time, Su Qiao might have found something, so the murderer decided to silence her."
"Really?" Li Cheng asked.
"I said maybe!"
"But at that time, all departments have thoroughly investigated, and Du Mubai really committed suicide!"
"I said maybe!" Jing Rong emphasized again.
His face was grim.
Li Cheng swallowed and shut his mouth.
The three waited in the hall all morning. Until the guard came back and reported, "Sir, it has been checked. According to the records of the Ministry of Rites, these three people were indeed candidates for the same class as Du Mubai six years ago, and they did live together, but at that time. All failed. Three years ago, three people came to take the test again, but still
They fell off the list, and this year, the three of them came to Gao Ding again for reference, and they still lived in the Wenshe as before. "
Li Cheng: "It's best for them to be in Gaoding, so they don't have to look everywhere. You should take people to Wenshe immediately and bring them to question them!"
"Yes!"
The guard led the order out.
…
Song Zhi also went out early this morning, and he strolled around the bookstore for a long time. Because he won the 22 taels of silver from Xue He last time against poetry, he bought the books he liked this time, and before he left, he picked two more books. The last time he heard Fang Tong say However, he also ran to the bookstore to read in the cold weather because he couldn't afford books, so,
Song Zhi thought that everyone was a scholar and would help if he could, so he bought two more copies and sent them to him.
Song Zhi inquired about Wenshe's location with the staff at the bookstore, and went with the books.
Along the way, he walked very slowly, Gao Ding was too big, and it took a long time to find the Wenshe.
This Wenshe, which is specially used to receive officials, is very large. It is different from ordinary inns. It is like an academy, but it is a little rough.
But for those poor men, it is already very good to have a place to stay.
Song Zhi had just arrived at the door, and his feet hadn't even gone in yet.
A little doorman ran over, and when he saw him, he asked, "Who are you? You don't live here, do you?"
Song Zhi: "I really don't live here, I'm here to find someone."
"Looking for someone? Who?"
"Fang Tong."
The little doorman was very familiar with Fang Tong: "Oh, it's him! He's inside."
"Then please tell him that Song Zhi is looking for him."
"You'd better go in and find it yourself, but you have to register before entering, so as not to mess up when you get there, this is the rule."
"Okay!" Song Zhi responded.
Then he wrote his name and some general information on the booklet handed by the child. This is how to get in.
