Chapter 79 Sudden clues
Xingbu Yamen.
Lu Qingfan and Yun Xi were sitting in the side room, waiting for Yu Zhi and Ran Piao to come back and exchange news.
The little girl kept playing with the pink embroidery thread purse in her hand, wondering what she was thinking.
Lu Qingfan, who was a little anxious, couldn't help but look over and asked: "What are you looking at?" His expression was so focused.
"Look at this purse." Yun Xi handed the purse over: "The silk material of this purse is not Jiangnan Su embroidery, but Shu brocade. The threading method is also like Shu embroidery; and the silk thread is made of local unique silk.
…”
Yun Xi dissected the threads, materials, and stitching techniques of the purse one by one, and Lu Qingfan secretly sighed in his heart: The little girl is worthy of being a charlatan. Even a purse cannot escape the fate of being clearly analyzed.
Lu Qingfan listened carefully, and suddenly remembered the polite knock on the door.
"Here we come!" Yun Xi's eyes lit up and she stood up to open the door.
"Miss Yun, Master Lu." By coincidence, both Yu Zhi and Ran Piao arrived.
Yun Xi led the two of them into the room and served them tea diligently. Then she sat down again and waited for the two adults to talk about the case.
"Master Yu, can you speak first?" Ran Piaoqian gave way.
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
As Ran Piao said, Yu Zhi was a humble gentleman. He was polite and courteous even when facing officials several levels lower than himself.
"Young Master Wu from Jingning's Mansion is introverted and even wears mature clothes." Yu Zhi explained to Lu Qingfan and Yun Xi: "He has never seen this purse, and he has asked several questions that Mr. Lu told him one by one.
, no problem."
As for Jiang Han, the second son of the Minister of Rites, he was overjoyed when he suddenly heard about the arrest of Prince Yan. He didn't even bother to hide it when he saw Yu Zhi, an outsider. When he deliberately took out his pink purse, Jiang Han didn't even raise his eyebrows.
, and even shouted "Evil will be rewarded with evil" with great enthusiasm.
"Both of these people have been ruled out." Yun Xi murmured.
"Uh, forgive me for talking too much." Ran Piao pointed at Yun Xi and then looked at the pink purse in Yu Zhi's hand: "Why are there two identical pieces of evidence?"
Didn't it mean that Feng Zhen'er's relics are the same?
Lu Qingfan glanced at Yun Xi with a smile but not a smile: "Just in case, let Yun Zuo's maid embroider an exact one."
Who would have thought that Yun Xi, who was so accurate in autopsy and used needles as hands, was so bad at the female beauty that she could only let the little maid do it for her.
Yun Xi felt embarrassed and glared at Lu Qingfan angrily.
He covered his lips and smiled. When he looked up again, he saw that Yu Zhi and Ran Piao were so overwhelmed by his laughter that they were speechless and looked a little sluggish.
Lu Qingfan coughed lightly and regained his composure: "Continue talking."
Yu Zhi said: "Prince An, he is in Hualou. The lower officials really didn't want to go, so they didn't see him."
"Ouch," Ran Piao heard the word "Hua Lou" and said, "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"
Lu Qingfan nodded, "It doesn't matter, I can go there myself, Prince An."
Yun Xi blinked curiously and thought to herself, could it be that Hualou is not a "brothel"? Otherwise, why would the faces of several adults become so weird?
Ran Piao found out a lot of information about Gao Changdong: "Master Gao is highly regarded. He has been traveling between Mingzhou and Beijing for several years and has made many powerful friends..."
Among them, Yanhou Mansion is the leader.
Among so many suspects, only Gao Changdong has been in contact with Yan Jun.
Yu Zhi's expression suddenly became strange. Lu Qingfan did not miss the change in his expression and asked: "Master Yu, what's wrong?"
"Well, I don't know if this matter is related to me..."
It turned out that when Yu Zhi had a private meeting with Feng Zhen'er, he met Yan Jun once or twice.
One time, before Yu Zhi arrived, Yan Jun started tugging at Feng Zhen'er. After Yu Zhi arrived, he started arguing with Yan Jun, and the two even fought.
"Then what?" Lu Qingfan asked in a deep voice.
They never mentioned the relevant details of the case in front of Yu Zhi, and even asked him to use pink purses to test several young men from aristocratic families.
But what Yu Zhi said made the most critical link in the case appear.
"A low-ranking official is not talented enough to defeat Yan Jun. When he was being beaten severely, Miss Tan appeared and stopped him."
Yan Jun was not a good person, so when he saw Tan Yundie, who also had an outstanding appearance, he felt evil in his heart and threatened that she would not be able to escape Yan Jun's palm.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Gao Changdong appeared, comforted Yan Jun with a few words, and pulled him away.
"Now that I think about it, if I had paid enough attention to Yan Jun at that time, maybe nothing would have happened to Zhen'er, and the girl would have..." Yu Zhi was very upset, and his face turned pale.
"It's him." Yun Xi murmured softly, "It's him."
Tan Yundie’s sweetheart is most likely Gao Changdong!
No wonder she kept silent about this person, because Gao Changdong was already married in Mingzhou; Princess Yuanyue would never tolerate her daughter being a concubine!
The murderer of Yan Jun did not disappear, but had already revealed his identity in an incident unknown to them!
"But Mr. Gao has been away from the capital these days, so he has no time to commit crimes." Ran Piao said honestly.
Lu Qingfan sneered: "I'll find out if you're here or not."
Officials from the Municipal Shipping Department were not allowed to return to Beijing without being summoned. Gao Changdong showed up without warning, and at least he was forced to take a copy of the ginseng.
It is not impossible to take risks for the sake of your sweetheart.
Yun Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she grabbed Lu Qingfan's sleeve: "Sir, didn't you just tell me a good place to hide people?"
"Hualou?" Yu Zhi and Ran Piao said in unison!
Lu Qingfan's eyebrows twitched, looking at the little girl who looked eager to try, thinking that she was probably eager to see what the "Flower House" was.
After all, the two of them had some kind of tacit understanding, and Yun Xi really wanted to see them.
But when she came to the Flower House as she wished, she realized that this "Flower House" was the Flower House in name only.
Looking blankly at the huge "Flower House" plaque with clear eyes, Yun Xi was really confused when surrounded by young men who were all painted with makeup and dressed in fancy clothes.
"Xiao, Xiao Guo Er Guan?"
"You are quite well-informed." Lu Qingfan cast a vague glance at Yun Xi's daughter's attire, and did not forget to say: "Follow closely."
He said this, but in fact he was the one closely following Yun Xi.
His big rough palm held a long sword. Once someone wanted to get close to Yun Xi, Lu Qingfan would block it with his cold eyes and the scabbard.
The chilling aura that permeated his body was so frightening that the few waiters who tried to approach were frightened away by his eyes as cold as ice peaks. In the end, no one dared to get close.
For a moment, even Yu Zhi and Ran Piao who were following behind felt quite safe.
"Following Mr. Lu, we will face mountains of swords and seas of fire, even a low-ranking official dares to try." Ran Piao sighed softly.
Lu Qingfan in front seemed to have heard it, and he tilted his head slightly and asked: "You don't even dare to enter the flower house alone, how can you fight back?"
Ran Piao was so teased that he glared at Yu Zhi, who was holding back his laughter, and then touched his nose and hurried to follow.
Yun Xi shrugged and was amused beside her, her bright peach blossom eyes quietly looking at Lu Qingfan's handsome profile, she felt quite safe following him.
After revealing his identity, the owner of Hualou directly took Lu Qingfan to Prince An's wing.
"Sir, His Highness the County Prince is in the house. Can you and your party go in alone?"
"Thank you." Lu Qingfan nodded briefly, and the flower shop owner smiled and left.
Yun Xi glanced at the leaving figure of the Hualou boss curiously.
"What?" Lu Qingfan asked in a low voice.
"He has changed his appearance." Yun Xi said firmly.
"Flower House Boss?"
"Um."
Now is not the time to delve deeper, so Lu Qingfan decided to meet with the Prince of Hoi'an first.
He pushed open the door, followed by Yun Xi and the two adults. Among the many gauze curtains, he saw the handsome man sitting in the innermost room.
Prince An was holding a wine flask, his clothes were wide open, revealing his solid chest, and his charming and narrow drunken eyes were looking at Lu Qingfan and his party, half awake.
"Who is it?" The man's lazy and hoarse voice coupled with such a gorgeous appearance made him appear a little more affectionate for no reason.
Yun Xi's bright eyes lit up, and Prince An's stature and appearance were consistent with the presumed murderer!
