"You three, don't leave! Carry the body out! Otherwise, how can I rest?!"

Yun Xi couldn't help but turn around and glance at Lu Shangshu, who was jumping in anger, and couldn't help but smile.

Qingguo rubbed his sore ears and said, "I understand, Master Shangshu, this slave is not deaf yet."

After saying that, the little maid looked like she was doing something big, but in fact she carefully took the body out again.

Lu Shangshu walked into the study with a livid face and shouted at the master to open the window for some fresh air!

Ren Danqing, who was hiding in the corner, smiled and patted Ran Piao on the shoulder: "Why did you come back so early? I also want to see what method Yun Yatou will use to deal with Lu Shangshu!"

Although the little girl is pretty and capable, she is actually a scheming little fox at heart! Look at the way she talks nonsense when she opens her mouth, as if she is ready to vent her anger before letting Lu Shangshu go.

Ran Piao smiled coquettishly: "I also want to slow down, Mr. Lu will never have time to wait."

As soon as he heard that Yun Xi was in trouble, he flew back immediately.

Ran Piao is not worried at all that Lu Shangshu dares to use violence against Yun Xi... That girl Qingguo's iron fist will definitely beat Lord Shangshu to the ground!

In the first half of his life, Ran Piao did not do as many bold things as he did in the past three months. Looking at the entire criminal department, the people Lu Qingfan leads are not only bold, but also synonymous with "relying on talent and letting go".

Ren Danqing sighed while fanning himself: "Lu Shangshu is not capable, and his structure is also small."

"You are very narrow-minded." Ran Piao complained in agreement.

In other words, he would never dare to say anything wrong to Master Shangfeng.

The guard guarding the widow's workshop didn't dare to challenge Lu Qingfan. After the door opened, he didn't even fart and went back to resume his duties.

Lu Qingfan had no intention of pursuing the gangster's guilt and signaled Yun Xi to discuss the case together after placing the body.

"Yes." Yun Xi always acted swiftly, and this time was no exception. While Lu Qingfan was greeting everyone waiting in the room, Bo Niang's body was smoothly placed in the widow's house.

Yun Xi mixed some of the potions she brought with her into a new potion, and brushed it on Bo Niang's skin bit by bit with Qingguo.

"Miss, what is this potion used for? After using it on Bo Niang, will her body not break into pieces?" Qingguo asked curiously while working.

"Well, despite the poor appearance of this potion, it has a miraculous effect on this kind of charcoal-grilled skin." Yun Xi explained while brushing it patiently: "After the skin softens and regains its elasticity and moisture, the thinning

My mother can be considered a complete corpse."

As Bo Niang's half-brother, Zhuoer certainly doesn't want his best friend to be buried in dust, right?

The master and servant divided the labor and cooperated, and soon the potion was applied all over the corpse.

Near noon, Master Yunxi and his servant quickly returned to the house.

Lu Qingfan sat at the table with a calm expression, and Lu Shangshu's stirring stick did not affect his concentration on solving the case at all.

"Your Excellency is reading the confession." Ran Piao explained enthusiastically.

"Thank you, Lord Ran."

Yun Xi and Qing Guo sat on small stools, took warm tea to moisten their throats, and then heard Lu Qingfan say calmly: "What I didn't say in Feiyan Tower, I can say it now."

Ren Danqing and Ran Piao were used to Yun Xi not telling others about some of his shocking inferences. When they heard that the little girl had reservations, they both looked at her curiously.

Yun Xi pondered for a moment, "The murderer was not seeking revenge, but was trying to extract a confession."

She took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, on which was a simple drawing of a tied up woman, with some scars on her body outlined in rich ink black.

"I drew all the wounds on the deceased's body. There were not only whip wounds, dagger wounds, but also insect and ant bite wounds. In order to extract a confession, the murderer even sprinkled honey on the deceased's wounds."

These subtle clues are obtained after applying texture-softening herbs.

The criminals believed that no layman would leave anything behind after touching the charcoal-grilled corpse, so he was very bold and did not cover up the traces.

In fact, if he hadn't met the cautious Zhuoer and the knowledgeable Yunxi, the murderer's goal would have been achieved.

"Forcing a confession...to find something?" Lu Qingfan asked.

The modus operandi of killing the deceased in order to find something is not uncommon, especially in the few cases they have been exposed to recently.

Yun Xi also found the list of notes left by Aunt Wen after her death.

"Then the murderer is not good enough. After three days of interrogation, there was no result. When the body was found, he was still looking for something..." Ren Danqing curled his lips: "For ordinary people, even if it takes three days to find it, I'm afraid it will be too late."

I've found it already."

"I have two inferences about this matter: first, he is a novice and does not know how to search for hidden objects; second, he does not know what he is looking for, but finds it for others."

After Yun Xi finished speaking, Lu Qingfan asked: "Looking for someone else? I don't know what it is, but I know that it must be in Bo Niang's hands, right?"

Yun Xi nodded: "It's just an inference."

That was the possibility that Lu Qingfan least wanted to see.

It can be seen from the confession that the girls in Feiyan Tower never noticed anything wrong with Bo Niang, which is why the murderer was so bold.

"It is said that Bo Niang always speaks the truth in Feiyan Tower, and no one dares to question her actions." Ren Danqing pulled out one of the confessions and said: "Unlike the affectionate and righteous landlady that Mr. Zhuo said, in Feiyan Tower, Bo Niang never said anything

Words can determine life or death for these girls."

Therefore, Bo Niang said she was not feeling well and asked the housekeeper to take care of everything. No one in the building had any objections.

Lu Qingfan nodded and motioned to Lord Ran to tell him about the progress there.

While Yun Xi was doing the autopsy and fighting with Lu Shangshu, everyone was busy.

Ran Piao wants to go to Shuntian Mansion to check the records of Yanhualiu over the years to rule out the possibility of habitual criminals robbing money.

Shuntian Fuyin will not give it.

"Why don't you give it? You didn't bring a coordinating investigation order?" Now that Lu Qingfan has firmly taken the position of minister, and is quite famous inside and outside the capital, Shuntian Mansion still doesn't buy it?

"Xunfu Yin said that if the Ministry of Punishment wants to access the files, it must go through the Tripartite Warrants of the Procuratorate of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple. How can you tell me that there is such a thing? I also wanted to borrow it when I was in the position of inspecting the school.

Just borrow from anyone else, I’ve never heard of such trouble!”

After Ran Piao finished speaking angrily, he was shocked to realize that these words had really caused trouble for Lu Qingfan. He glanced at Lu Qingfan's face and swallowed back the complaints that followed.

Lu Qingfan's thin lips parted slightly: "Then give Shuntian Mansion a three-way warrant."

Yun Xi tilted her head and saw a dark glint in Lu Qingfan's eyes, wondering what good idea he had thought of.

Shuntianfu.

Ran Piao stood outside the door again and couldn't help but sigh.

In the past month or so, he has hit a wall more than once or twice in Shuntian Mansion; Han Tongpan and Master Zhao are full of tricks, and it seems that without making things difficult for Ran Piao, he can't highlight that Shuntian Mansion is the yamen of "Master Qingtian's parents and people's officials"

Seems like.

Ran Piao slapped his hand in front of Han Tongpan and Master Zhao. The two were dumbfounded again.

"Ah, this..." Han Tongpan was so shocked that he couldn't speak. They actually immediately asked for the transfer order from the Third Division.

Not to mention the delicate balance that is always maintained between these three departments, Lu Qingfan's popularity after entering Beijing is also obvious to all.

"Why, how did you get warrants from three government offices in such a short period of time?" Master Zhao said suspiciously while looking at it.

"It's not just that." Ran Piao raised his eyebrows and stood with his hands behind his back to show off: "There will be a 'surprise' waiting for you two in a while!"

After Ran Piao finished speaking, he walked out deliberately and slowly with eight-character steps.

When he walked to the entrance of Shuntian Mansion, Ran Piao passed by a group of guards and did not forget to turn around and wave provocatively at the confused Han Tongpan and Master Zhao.

Hey, here comes the "surprise".

"Shuntian Mansion has received the decree from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Han Tongpan and Master Zhao looked at each other, one respectfully greeted the soldiers entrusting the prince with the edict, and the other hurried back to report the news.

How could Xun Yanqing, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, who could not shrink out of his body, sit in the hall? He quickly straightened his clothes and followed Master Zhao out to kowtow and receive the order.

The decree was not complicated. It said that if Xun Yanqing of Shuntian Prefecture did not want to be the prefect, he could go to the county in the suburbs of Beijing to manage the land, water and agriculture, and return the government to a good official who dared to do something.

Xun Yanqing's face turned red when he was criticized by the current prince, and he kept kowtowing to argue, and his black gauze hat was so frightened that he tilted his head.

"Should!"

Ran Piao curled his lips towards Shuntian Mansion, hummed a tune and walked briskly to the Penal Department Yamen with his hands behind his back.

It seems like being a capable stabber would be a good idea?!
