Chapter 25: Meeting Zhu Yu Again (Mystery of the Young Madam's Death 7)(1/2)

Jinyi Pavilion.

Feng Zheng hurriedly came to a study room and handed the secret box to a man wearing ink, "Sir, the news just came."

Mo Yi took out a small note from the secret tube, read it and handed it to Feng Zheng.

Feng Zheng saw only one line written on it, "Li Huaixiu may have targeted Xie Rui." He couldn't help but be surprised.

Feng Zheng heard his master sigh, "When will the goods arrive?"

Feng Zheng said, "Two days later."

Mo Yi said, "These few days are crucial, you should pay more attention."

Feng Zheng thought for a while, "Xie Rui's intention is to cancel the transaction, because...Miss Li is checking closely, just in case something happens..."

Mo Yi said, "He is afraid, but once the goods are in the warehouse, it will not be easy to get them out. Tell Xu Changan not to let her investigate anymore."

"This..." Feng Zheng was a little embarrassed, "I might not be able to stop Miss Li."

Mo Yi said, "Closing the case as soon as possible is also a way to stop it."

Feng Zheng thought for a while and understood, "Yes." He added, "One more thing. The tea merchant named Cheng that the young master asked to be investigated was found. He is just an ordinary tea merchant. There is nothing suspicious. I don't know why Miss Li is looking for it.

he."

Mo Yi remained silent after hearing this, and Feng Zheng slowly exited the room.

Huaixiu, Chang'an, and Qin Zhen came to the Liang Mansion. The Liang Mansion was holding a funeral. The editor of the Imperial Academy had a small official position but a great reputation. However, there were very few people who came to pay their respects.

Liang Min's official coffin had been transported back a few days ago, causing quite a commotion in the capital. No one thought that Liang Min would be in a precarious situation. It is elegant for a scholar to be romantic, but it is too much.

shame.

Huaixiu and the others offered incense to Liang Min, and Liang Min's daughter Liang Miaotong returned the favor and thanked her, "Are you from the Six Doors?"

Qin Zhen replied, "Yes."

"Is it my father's business?"

Liang Miaotong is a lady in the family. Her mother is the daughter of the former Minister of Rites. She has a good family tradition. Huaixiu sees that she is very polite. Mrs. Liang Min is already ill. Miss Liang is in charge of all affairs in the house, welcoming guests and seeing off guests.

Everyone is always polite and courteous. How could such a well-educated young lady have such a father?

Huaixiu said, "I came to your mansion today to discuss the case of Wu Ruier, the young lady of the mansion, who is a member of the Ministry of War."

Liang Miaotong's eyes turned red instantly, "Rui'er... I heard about her, because my father... I haven't had time to miss her yet..." Liang Miaotong wiped her eyes

Wiping the corners of his eyes, he calmed down his emotions and said, "I made a few of the police officers laugh. May I ask your surnames?"

Liang Miaotong just asked politely, and it didn't matter whether he answered or not. Chang'an coughed lightly and signaled that Huaixiu didn't need to sign up.

Who knows that Huaixiu is not shy, "I'm Li Huaixiu."

"Captain Li..." Liang Miaotong paused and widened his eyes, "Li... Huaixiu?"

"Exactly...the person Miss Liang has in mind."

Liang Miaotong took a step back in shock. Chang'an let out a long sigh and muttered, "It's over, I can't ask anything else."

As expected, Liang Miaotong was shocked and angry, "How dare you come here? Come on, come on."

Several servants came over and asked, "Miss, what happened?"

"Kick them out." Liang Miaotong said tremblingly, her words stammering out of anger.

The servants didn't know why and didn't move for a while.

Huaixiu said, "I know Miss Liang doesn't want to see me. However, Huaixiu is here with business matters. I hope Miss Liang will not put personal grudges above official matters."

Liang Miaotong said angrily, "You are here on official business. Let me ask you, why are you trying to punish my father?"

Huaixiu frowned, "It's not Huaixiu's fault with Master Liang..."

"My father has always been upright and would never do such a thing."

Huai Xiu said, "We have witnesses."

"Does my father admit it?"

"Master Liang hasn't had time yet..."

Liang Miaotong was aggressive, "My father didn't recognize me, and he was just a madman, biting me randomly?"

"This...if Miss Liang wants to know what happened at that time, Huaixiu will tell Miss Liang one by one in detail, but there are more important things now. Madam Xie is a good friend of Miss Liang, and Miss Liang must also

I want to find out what happened to the young lady."

"What qualifications do you have to check..."

"Miaotong, don't be unreasonable."

At this moment, Liang Min's wife Zeng came out, and beside her was Prince Ning's eldest son Zhu Yu.

Huaixiu was surprised.

"Miss Li." Zhu Yu greeted her first and said with a smile, "We meet again."

"I've met the crown prince." Huaixiu saluted, and Qin Zhen saluted. Chang'an didn't recognize him, so Qin Zhen pulled him to salute.

Zhu Yu said, "I didn't expect that Miss Li really entered six doors."

Huaixiu couldn't bear to tell everyone that she was taking an exam, so she just smiled awkwardly.

Mrs. Zeng looked at Huaixiu and said, "Since the Six Doors are handling the case, how can the Liang Mansion not cooperate. Miaotong, if Agent Li has something to ask, please answer it quickly."

Liang Miaotong was dissatisfied and turned her head stubbornly. Mrs. Zeng said again, "Follow me."

Mrs. Zeng took her daughter aside and Liang Miaotong said, "Auntie, that Li Huaixiu is..."

"I know." Mrs. Zeng said, "The case they came to investigate the Xie family is completely different from your father's case. Besides, your father...is not unjust."

"Aniang?" Liang Miaotong was surprised by her mother's words. Her father had always been her idol, how could he do such a thing? But she heard her mother sigh, "Eighteen years ago, just before I got engaged to your father.

, it is true that a woman came to look for your father. Your father was not there at the time, and the people in the house drove the woman away, saying that she was a crazy woman. I only found out about it after the fact. I asked your father about it, but your father hesitated.

I didn't give a clear answer, because I was getting married soon, and I was filled with joy. I didn't notice anything unusual about your father, so I slowly forgot about it. After the news of your father's death came, I was also extremely sad.

I don't believe it. The Crown Prince has just told me the cause of the matter and Li Xiangjun's situation, and I just thought of that matter." Mrs. Zeng closed her eyes, looking painful and helpless.

Liang Miaotong was extremely shocked by Zeng's words. Suddenly, the tall image of his father, whom he admired most, collapsed.

The truth is always cruel. People always like to see beautiful things, but they don't know that underneath beautiful things, there will also be evil.

Huaixiu looked at the mother and daughter from a distance.

Zhu Yu said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Zeng is sensible."

Huaixiu said, "Is it the prince who sent Master Liang's official coffin back?"

"Yes." Zhu Yu said, "The case has been handed over to Dali Temple, and Acheng has been sentenced to death."

Huaixiu sighed.

Zhu Yu asked again, "I just heard from Miss Li that she is investigating the case at the residence of Wai Lang, a member of the military department?"

Huaixiu told the truth, "To be honest with you, this case will be reviewed by the six sects, and the Yamen will treat us as an examination question."

Zhu Yu was not surprised, "That's it."

Just as he was talking, Liang Miaotong came over. Although he was still unwilling to accept it, he still saluted, "Captain Li, I was so rude just now. I hope you can forgive me."

Huaixiu quickly returned the courtesy, "Huaixiu was too abrupt. Huaixiu has a few questions for Miss Liang."

Liang Miaotong nodded, "Please follow me."

Liang Miaotong took several people into the side hall and took their seats. Zhu Yu said goodbye to Zeng.

Huaixiu asked several questions in turn.

"Since Rui'er got married, I rarely met her. The last time we met was two months ago. We went to Jinyi Pavilion together. Jinyi Pavilion bought a new batch of silk and satin. Mrs. Lu left some for us...

..."

"Wait a minute." Huaixiu interrupted Liang Miaotong, "It is said that the young lady does not like Lingluo silk and satin."

Liang Miaotong said, "Jinyi Pavilion is not only a ready-made clothing store, but also teaches needlepoint to some boudoir ladies. Mrs. Lu from Jinyi Pavilion has excellent embroidery skills and is also enthusiastic. Girls who are about to get married hope to get her guidance and make their own clothes."

Wedding dress. Rui'er got married last year, and her wedding dress was made by herself under the guidance of Mrs. Lu. I have already made an engagement with the Xu family, so I invited Rui'er to go with us. It just so happened that Rui'er also wanted to choose for Aunt Bai.

Buy fabrics to make new clothes.”

"Is it Aunt Bai from the Xie Mansion?"

"yes."

"The young lady personally made her clothes?"

Liang Miaotong said, "This is how Rui'er treats others. Living in the same courtyard, it's Aunt Bai's birthday."

Huaixiu remembered that Aunt Bai had sourly said that Wu Rui'er looked down on her.

Huaixiu asked again, "Did anything unusual happen to the young lady that time?"
