"Back." Xie Zhi came out.

He had just come back. Even though he was just wandering around the capital, he was very busy these past two days. He worked at sunrise and never came back at sunset.

Since being repaired by Hai Wangtian, Xie Zhi should not be too active in his work. He doesn't care about God's will or his horoscope. He will go east when he is told and go west when he is told. He is just trying to compete with Ye Caitang for outstanding employees.

appearance.

Xia Yue said: "Have you found out Wang Xi's identity? Are there any suspicious people who come and go with him?"

Xie Zhi took out a stack of paper from his arms, which was densely packed with words he remembered.

Then he flipped through: "Most of them are normal. He not only accepts Ruhui's goods, but also engages in other buying and selling businesses, which is quite shady. But one thing is, I found out that his father once worked as an errand for Concubine Hui's house.

, maybe it’s because of this that I got connected with Master Ruhui.”

"The connection is quite deep." Ye Caitang said: "No wonder, is it difficult to find people from Concubine Hui's natal family now?"

Many officials will send their daughters to the palace to be concubines. If they are favored by the emperor and the emperor likes them, they will indeed become prosperous and help the family. But everything has two sides. If they fall out of favor and do stupid things, they will also harm the family.

Concubine Hui would be arranged to leave the palace and become a nun, which shows that the family was originally weak and could not provide her with support. After her accident, her natal family was inevitably implicated, and the new emperor quickly found an excuse to send her away.

The trees fell and the monkeys dispersed. There were so many servants, maids, servants, mothers-in-law, and stewards in the mansion. Some followed them and some stayed. However, thirty-seven years have passed, and those who stayed are nowhere to be found.

.

"It must be difficult to find, and unless you find someone who is close to Concubine Hui, you may know something about it, otherwise it will be useless to find the corner ones."

Then it would be even harder to find, Ye Caitang nodded repeatedly.

Xia Yue called Lao Zhan and asked him to describe the scene of seeing the murderer in detail, and Xia Yue drew in a hurry.

After a few strokes, he glanced at Ye Caitang.

Ye Caitang felt baffled: "Brother Xie, why do you always look at me? Does the murderer look like me?"

Even if you want to find a reference, it just needs to be something other than a woman. Why are you staring at her?

"Oh, no, I just want to think about things and look around casually out of habit."

Xie Zhi explained weakly.

He didn't dare to say that when he was painting portraits last time, he accidentally offended Ye Caitang, and Ye Caitang kicked him out after just a few strokes. Now he feels a little shadowy.

Although it seemed that Xie Zhi was not very honest, Ye Caitang didn't dig into it and just said "Oh" and let it go.

Adults do not remember the faults of villains. If villains have faults, they will have their own lessons from the master.

Soon, a picture of the murderer was drawn.

Xia Yue and Ye Caitang looked over together.

"This man looks familiar." Xia Yue and Ye Caitang looked at each other, wondering where they had met before.

But where have I seen it? Not in Nanshan.

Xia Yue stood up suddenly.

"Next door to Wang Xi's house."

"Yes, this is the neighbor next door to Wang Xi's house." Ye Caitang slapped his thigh: "This is the neighbor next door to Wang Xi's house. On the day I went to Wang Xi's house, wasn't there an old man next door who came out and asked what happened? There was this guy standing in the yard behind him

Woman, this is who she is."

Therefore, this person cannot be found in Nanshan because she does not live in Nanshan at all.

Suddenly, Ye Caitang felt that the two days of running around were a bit unfair.

But Xia Yue then said: "When you said that, I also had an impression. This person is indeed next door to Wang Xi's house, but if so, why did the coachman Zou Chao die?"

"She must have been to Nanshan." Ye Caitang said: "Don't forget there are also leaves from the scene of Wang Xi's death."

It was that leaf that led them to Nanshan.

"The murderer lives in the capital, but has been to Nanshan. This is not inconsistent. She may have gone to Nanshan first to look for Ruhui, but failed to find her, and then quickly returned to the capital, and then chased Wang Xi all the way."

This all comes together perfectly.

Xia Yue immediately led people to arrest the person, and as expected, Ye Caitang also followed suit.

But it's still a step too late.

Wang Xi's neighbor's family was named Bu. The old man who was going out that day opened the door and asked about the people in his family. There was someone about the same age who was his daughter-in-law.

Wang Tong said: "Where is your daughter-in-law?"

"My daughter-in-law has gone out." Although the old man was old, he was very sober.

"Where did you go and when did you leave?"

"It's been four days since she went there." The old man calculated: "She went to Nanshan to burn incense, a place called Jingxin An. She went there every year and was very familiar with the master in the nunnery. This year, I heard that the master passed away.

, told me that it would take a little longer..."

This is really a mistake. When I investigated Wang Xi's situation before, I also asked the surrounding neighbors. But I only asked about Wang Xi's situation. Who would have thought to ask about Jingxin Temple from the neighbors.

Xia Yue said: "Was your daughter-in-law from the capital before?"

"Yes." The old man nodded: "But life is hard. Both parents died when I was young. I married a man and died young. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to like my son."

"Our family used to be poor and our son was in poor health. Thanks to my daughter-in-law's hard work, our life has become better. It's a pity that my son was so unlucky and died early... He didn't leave a son and a half daughters...

"

The old man said he was sad and wiped his tears.

Ye Caitang and the others had no intention of sympathizing with the old man, they only felt that this woman was powerful.

The old man's daughter-in-law, named Fu Caiyun, fell in love with the old man's good-for-nothing son at first sight, and then led the family out of poverty and into prosperity. Although she had been married before and had no children, the family was still grateful to her.

Her husband died within two years, and Fu Caiyun still supported his father. Although he didn't get close to him much, he had plenty of food and drink, and he was extremely benevolent.

Xia Yue asked, Ye Caitang was looking casually in the yard, and suddenly saw something familiar in the yard.

A grasshopper weaving blades of grass.

Ye Caitang immediately remembered that when they left Nanshan today, the fool at the entrance of the village had such a grasshopper woven by Caoye in his hand.

Ye Caitang immediately picked up the grasshopper.

"Look, sir." Ye Caitang said, "This grasshopper was seen in the hands of a homeless man when we left Nanshan."

"I made this up." The old man explained: "I am young and don't know much about anything, so I just make up a few gadgets and sell them on the street, so I can get some money to support my family."

"The murderer is still in Nanshan."

After hearing this, Xia Yue walked out and might have passed them by. But they didn't know the murderer's appearance at that time, and there were so many people in the village that it was impossible to look at them one by one.

Besides, that place is a ravine and there are woods everywhere. If you hide wherever you want, you will never be able to find it.

Ye Caitang followed for two steps and suddenly caught up.
