In Shuntian Mansion, officials and minor officials were all busy.

They have miscellaneous government affairs and many things, and they have a lot of things in their hands. Now that they want to re-invest Youcen's death, their men are getting more and more nervous.

Wen Zifu was very busy, but he was very active.

Bi Zhian took a few people to the Shen family. The hutongzhi was plagued by chores and several previous cases. Wen Zifu took a minor official to the warehouse to search for the old files.

The old man from Shuntian Mansion is in charge of the warehouse.

When he saw Wen Zifu, the man said, "Sir, are you still busy? You have to take care of the candidates?"

Wen Zifu smiled and said, "It's okay. It's much easier than before the spring exam. When the palace exam is over, the ranking will be achieved. Even if you are busy, you can't delay this case. No matter how busy you are, you have to investigate."

After the spring exam, the candidates who failed the exam returned to their hometowns one after another, and stayed in Beijing to wait for the palace examination. Shuntian Mansion arranged for them to eat and live in food and accommodation more than before.

Furthermore, the capital is gradually approaching spring, and the weather is getting warmer, so there is no need for so much charcoal fire, which means that there is another missing thing.

What's more, after things got on track, the people below were able to do it very well, which made both Wen Zifu and Hutongzhi much easier.

Of course, for Wen Zifu, even if the work in his hands could take up all his time in the yamen, as long as the emperor nodded and investigated Youcen's death, he would not even have time to sleep and squat in Shuntian Mansion.

The old man was slightly stunned after hearing Wen Zifu's words. When he realized the significance of the case to Wen Zifu, he nodded in understanding.

"Yes," said the old man, "you have to check. If anything happens, just give me a command."

Wen Zifu agreed.

Back then, Youchen closed the case by committing suicide, one life and one suicide note, and there were only two thin pieces of paper on the documents compiled into files.

And these two pieces of paper were read shortly after Wen Zifu transferred to Shuntian Mansion.

Judging from paper, there is really nothing to question.

Wen Zifu held the document and pursed his lips.

After being an official for so many years, Wen Zifu knew that this was the documentary that was included in the file.

Last year, when he took the death of Di Cha, he closed the case by "self-death" and left a record. Previously, Di Cha's wife brought a letter of guilt into Shuntian Mansion with her self-death. The case files they retrieved from the warehouse were just two pieces of paper.

Whatever you remember or what you don’t remember, follow the rules.

Perhaps, he should learn from Liang Guizhong and then read through the information that was not included in the file.

Wen Zifu asked the old man.

"Before you were transferred, the Wanping Wan Tongzhi in the mansion was a man who liked to remember things," the old man said, taking out another key and opening the door of the warehouse next door. "If he remembers it, then he will be here. However, these documents are only stored for three years..."

As he said that, the old man slogged and counted.

"Eight years of summer, nine years, ten years, eleven years..." the old man sighed with a smile, "Look, it will be three years in a few months. Once the season is cleaned at the end of the season, there will be nowhere to find it. You are lucky, it seems that God's will."

Wen Zifu also laughed: "It's good to find some clues."

Although it was not included in the file, it was cleared in three years and the documents were placed neatly on the shelves.

As for what will be recorded in it, it all depends on the person who wrote it.

If it is a nagging person, it will write more, and there will even be content that has nothing to do with the case. If it is a person who doesn't like to trouble, it may not be much better than the two pieces of paper that have been included in the file.

Wen Zifu found a stack, which was quite thick.

He carried the paper back to the study room.

The rain outside has not stopped and is still unclear, but fortunately the wind is getting lighter and rain will not float in when the windows are opened.

If it is not bright, there is no need to light the light.

Wen Zifu looked through page by page.

As his name suggests, he has recorded a lot of details.

Even so, Wen Zifu was unable to find any clues about Yucen's death from murder.

Too.

Wen Zifu sighed softly.

I heard that Lord Wan is very meticulous, and Lord Bi is very cautious in handling cases. If something had been discovered by Shuntian Mansion back then, he would have proposed it long ago...

Knowing that he shouldn't be discouraged, Wen Zifu still sighed again.

While sighing, he pinched the case file with his fingers, and then turned down the page.

When he let go, he saw a mark where his thumb had just been pinching.

A thumbprint.

Wen Zifu's eyes suddenly tightened.

"This is..." He pressed the paper and looked closer at the corner.

He wanted to see more carefully, but his vision became blurry, but he knew that he had seen it clearly and he would never read it wrong.

There was a crack in the middle of the thumbprint.

The owner of the thumbprint was injured and left a scar that could not be removed.

That master is his elder brother Wen Ziliang.

How old was that year?

Wen Zifu thought that he seemed to be seven or eight years old.

When he was traveling to Xizi Lake at home, he accidentally took Wen Zilan's wooden man into the lake.

The wooden man who carried a knife in Guan Gong was quite small. He was Wen Zilan’s favorite thing at that time, and he even brought it with him when he went out to play.

Wen Zifu was also mean at that time, so he teased his younger brother too much. The wooden man fell into the water with a slam, and the water splashed and sank.

The two brothers stared blankly at the water surface, Wen Zifu's head was blank, and Wen Zilan cried at the top of his throat.

It was just a wooden man, and it was impossible for someone to jump down and catch him.

No matter how young Wen Zilan is, he still understands this principle. He can't get it back and feels so aggrieved. While crying, he chases his brother and beats him.

After returning home, Wen Zifu bought gifts for his younger brother to apologize with the New Year’s money he saved during the New Year.

The wooden man I bought is beautiful, but he is not the one who fell into the water.

Wen Zilan was depressed, and Wen Zifu was also listless.

Wen Ziliang called him into the study, carved a knife with one hand and said with a smile: "If you carve one for him, you will be careful, and the third brother will not be angry."

At that time, Wen Zifu had just learned to carve seals. He was very limited in his ability and even asked Wen Ziliang for help.

By accident, he cut Wen Ziliang's thumb with a knife, and blood flowed out.

Wen Ziliang did not cry out in pain, but instead comforted Wen Zifu.

In the end, the extremely rough wooden man coaxed Wen Zilan. Perhaps it was because he was scared by his elder brother's injury and he did not carry the wooden man who fell into the water again.

Wen Ziliang stopped the blood, but the wound had been healing poorly and became a scar.

Now, Wen Zifu saw this scarred thumbprint on this volume of document, as if he also saw the elder brother who had read the document.

Lord Bi said that in order to communicate the case, Mr. Xia and Wen Ziliang came more than five times in Guangshun Tianfu.

So, how many times did Wen Ziliang read this handwritten book with Wanping?

I spent days running around and thinking too much that I was dazed and didn't even know that there was ink on my fingers, so I accidentally stayed on it.
