"Ah?" Mr. Gu raised his head and was stunned for a moment. Then he came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "The old minister sent someone to check. The black cloth used to wrap the body was only very rare in the capital. Common black fabrics are available in all fabric shops.”
"Really?" Mo Hanqing looked at Mr. Gu with a deep look and asked casually: "Mr. Gu, have you ever compared that fabric with the fabrics from other cloth shops? Are they really the same?"
"Ah?" Master Gu looked at him with some confusion.
"Ha." Mo Hanqing said with a cold smile: "Even if they are all black fabrics, the depth of printing and dyeing, the density of the lines, and the trend of the patterns will still be very different. Will Mr. Gu take all the fabrics one by one? Have you checked it??”
"This..." Master Gu couldn't help but break out cold sweat on his forehead after listening to his words.
These...he really didn't compare them carefully.
"Leng Liu." Mo Hanqing glanced at him lightly, knowing in her heart that he must have never done these things, so she called Leng Wei.
"My subordinate is here." A black figure suddenly appeared in Mo Hanqing's study.
"How is the thing that I arranged for you to do?" Mo Hanqing sat behind the desk and looked directly at Leng Liu and asked.
"Return to Your Highness." Leng Liu knelt on the ground with one knee on the ground, clasped his fists in both hands and said respectfully to Mo Hanqing: "I went to check and found that there are a total of 24 cloth shops in the capital, including 13 cloth shops. When selling this black cloth, my subordinates bought some black cloth from these thirteen cloth shops and compared it with the black cloth used to wrap the corpse. From the softness of the cloth, , printing and dyeing colors, and grain trends, the fabrics sold by only two cloth shops are completely consistent with the black fabric."
"Oh?" Mo Hanqing raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Leng Liu who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a calm voice: "Which cloth shops are there?"
"One of them is the No. 1 cloth shop in the capital, Zhiyun Pavilion, and the other is Yunjin Pavilion, a cloth shop that just opened in the past two days." Leng Liu's voice paused, and then continued: "Because the body was found a few days ago. I found it, so Yunjin Pavilion, which just opened yesterday, will definitely not sell fabrics before it opens, so this black cloth is only available in Zhiyun Pavilion."
"Yes." Mo Hanqing nodded with great satisfaction, glanced at Mr. Gu on the side, and then said in a calm voice: "Have you asked the people in Zhiyun Pavilion? Who are these black fabrics being sold to?"
"Returning to Your Highness, I have already asked the boss of Zhiyun Pavilion. He has given me all the ledgers on the sales of black fabrics in the past year." Leng Liu said as he took something out of his arms. He took out a ledger, presented it to Mo Hanqing with both hands and said, "The ledger is right here."
"Bring it here." Mo Hanqing said calmly.
"Yes." Leng Liu stood up and put the account book in his hand on the desk in front of Mo Hanqing.
Mo Hanqing took the account book and flipped through it. The sales situation of black cloth was very simple.
Although this fabric looks ordinary in style, the workmanship and printing and dyeing techniques are very good, so the price is not cheap. During this year, only the second and sixth princes purchased some in batches, about It is used to make clothes for the guards.
