Chapter Thirty-One
After gathering her composure, Bai Zhi held back her anger and said, "Go back to the princess, I haven't seen anyone coming back."
It seems they didn't find anything~ Ye Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself.
After a while, Ye Yun gave instructions: "Tomorrow I will go to Dali Temple for work. If they come back, I will collect the things they brought back and put them in the study. I will look at them when I come back."
"Yes!" Bai Zhi said respectfully.
Looking around Bai Zhi and Bai Zhi, Ye Yun's mouth curled up with a playful smile: "Since you have nothing to do, you should go down first. I have to rest."
"My subordinates, please retire!" Chu Ci bowed to Ye Yun expressionlessly, then turned and left without looking away.
Seeing Chu Ci striding away, Bai Zhi said to Ye Yun anxiously: "Princess, Bai Zhi is leaving."
Then he ran after Chu Ci and said while chasing: "Chu Ci, wait for me!"
Hearing this, the latter walked faster and faster.
Ye Yun, who had witnessed the whole incident, laughed out loud, his eyes full of interest.
Early the next morning, Ye Yun went to Dali Temple dressed in men's clothing. As soon as she entered, Ye Yun felt something was wrong. Except for the two government officials guarding the door, she didn't meet anyone along the way!
Just when Ye Yun was confused, a hurried servant with a sword came in from the hanging flower door in the east courtyard. Ye Yun hurriedly called out to stop him: "Wait a minute!"
Suddenly hearing the sound, the officer suddenly stopped and turned around, only to see a man standing diagonally in front of him. He was about to scold whoever was trespassing in Dali Temple. However, when his eyes passed over the man's face, he was suddenly startled and hurriedly stepped forward.
A few steps later: "The younger one has met the eldest princess."
Ye Yun nodded slightly, hummed and asked, "What happened? Where are all the people in this temple?"
"To report to the eldest princess, a mutilation case broke out yesterday. It was dawn this morning, so Master Ji took the whole temple people out of the city to look for clues," the Yamen servant replied.
"Then why are you back?"
"Back to the eldest princess, Ji-sama came out to get something. After getting it, he has to rush back."
"Well, go and get your things quickly, don't delay the business."
"Yes, I'm resigning." After saying that, the Yamen servant hurriedly went to the assembly hall, came out of it a moment later, holding a bag of things in his hand, and hurried out of the city.
Ye Yun was the only one standing in the courtyard. She raised her head and glanced at the sky. The sun had already risen in the sky. It would be noon in two hours. Thinking of what happened yesterday, Ye Yun estimated the time while entering from the assembly hall.
.
On Ji Zizhen's desk, there was a brand new file half open. Ye Yun's sharp eyes recognized it at a glance as the file from yesterday's mutilated body case. After thinking about it again and again, Ye Yun stepped forward and picked up the file and looked at it carefully.
Again, perhaps due to limited clues, it only recorded the person who reported the crime, the location of the incident, and the autopsy results. It was impossible to find any clues based on these things alone. Ye Yun put the file back to its original position and immediately went to his location.
Sit down, lean back, close your eyes, and start thinking about how to solve the case next.
At present, the only clue she has is one Yongxing pawnshop, but Yongxing pawnshop has a great influence in the imperial capital. From wealthy families to common people, there are not a few people who have visited Yongxing pawnshop.
From the objects seen in the pawn shop, we can conclude that the objects on the second floor are exquisite and gorgeous, not something ordinary people can own, and must come from wealthy families. However, most of the objects on the first floor are older and look like they are at home.
It has been passed down from generation to generation, and the price is completely incomparable to the price on the second floor. You don’t have to think about where it comes from.
Therefore, the three pawn tickets found in the homes of the three reporters could not explain anything at all. It was precisely because of this that she ordered the five government officials to go to the homes of the remaining reporters to question. One person and two people could be a coincidence, but
It would be unusual if dozens of people had been there.
Ye Yun sat in the meeting hall for more than an hour, and finally waited until Feng Yuchun came to the door.
After hearing that the Yamen servant reported that someone was looking for him outside the temple, Ye Yun immediately got up from his chair and followed the Yamen servant to the entrance of Dali Temple.
Outside the door, Feng Yuchun was pacing back and forth anxiously. When he saw Ye Yun coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to apologize: "My lord, please forgive me. The common people were delayed on the road and kept you waiting for a long time."
"Young Master Feng's words are serious, and the Young Master is willing to come, which is enough to show the Young Master's character. However, this matter may put Young Master Feng in jail. I wonder if the Young Master is still willing to help?" Ye Yundao said.
"Your Excellency, saving the life of the grass-roots lady is equivalent to saving the lives of the grass-roots. Even if it takes the lives of the grass-roots, the grass-roots will not hesitate!" Feng Yuchun said impassionedly, and Ye Yun couldn't help but secretly praise him. Who said that scholars are useless?
At least in terms of being a human being, scholars are much better than ordinary people!
"In that case, we all rely on the young master." After saying that, Ye Yun leaned into Feng Yuchun's ear and muttered for a while before stopping.
After hearing Ye Yun's plan, Feng Yuchun was stunned for a moment and then bowed heavily: "Don't worry, sir, the common people will go now!"
"Master Feng, be careful."
Feng Yuchun nodded heavily to Ye Yun, then turned around and strode away.
Watching Feng Yuchun's figure walking further and further away, Ye Yun said lightly: "Follow him. If there is an emergency, be sure to ensure his safety." Just after the words were spoken, a shadow flashed somewhere and disappeared in an instant.
At the door of Yongxing Pawn Shop, Feng Yuchun glanced at the plaque on the door and went in without hesitation. As soon as he entered the door, Feng Yuchun sat down on the ground and cried loudly: "Come here, come and take a look. The largest in the imperial capital."
The Yongxing pawnshop is oppressing ordinary people, come here, please give Feng some criticism!"
Feng Yuchun made such a fuss, and a crowd of people immediately gathered outside the store. When they saw that he was clearly dressed as a scholar but sitting and rolling on the ground without any regard for the etiquette of a scholar, they immediately believed his words and asked about the reason.
"If you have any grievances, why don't you get up and say it, so that we can know how to help you," said a young man.
"That's right, little brother, a scholar values face most. How can you be so decent lying on the ground like this?" an old man agreed while standing at the door of Yongxing Pawn Shop.
Hearing this, Feng Yuchun cried even louder, and explained while shouting: "You don't know, yesterday my mother was seriously ill, Feng pawned the only jade pendant in the house to Yongxing pawn shop. At that time, the shop clerk said that this thing was the most
When I pawned the money for one tael of silver, Feng thought that with the Yongxing name, he wouldn’t be able to deceive me, a penniless scholar, so he listened to the man’s words and pawned the money for one tael of silver. Unexpectedly, this morning he and I
When I talked about this, I realized that the jade pendant was handed down from my ancestors and is worth at least five taels!"
"May I ask, brother, if you still remember which guy it is?" someone else asked.
Feng Yuchun scanned the crowd, shook his head and said, "Yesterday I was thinking about my mother's serious illness, but I didn't pay much attention to that person's appearance."
The lobby was in chaos, and a waiter had already gone to the back hall to inform the shopkeeper of the matter. At this moment, the boss rushed over and saw that the door was blocked by people. His face paused, and he immediately put on a smiling face and squeezed into the crowd.
