Chapter 33: Jinyi Pavilion (Mystery of Young Madam's Death 15)(1/2)
From the many visits and surveys in the past few days, Huaixiu saw different Wu Ruier from different people.
"The Wu Rui'er in Ji Lan's mouth is kind and timid. Aunt Bai calls Wu Rui'er the so-called lady of the world. Why does she use the word "so-called"? Could it be that she is not the lady of the world as we imagined? The Wu Rui'er that Miss Liang knows is very opinionated.
Yes, the three people’s different statements are contradictory.”
Chang'an said, "Maybe the three of them don't really understand Wu Ruier."
Huaixiu said, "That's right. So what kind of person is Wu Rui'er? So I doubt Wu Rui'er. Coincidentally, I heard someone on the street talking about an acrobatic class from the Western Regions. They have a unique skill that is famous for turning a living person into a living person. And the acrobatics from the Western Regions
The troupe came to Xie's Mansion to perform for Aunt Bai's birthday, and the relationship between Aunt Bai and Wu Rui'er is not as unfamiliar as she said, because Wu Rui'er also made clothes for Aunt Bai herself."
Jiang Zedao, "No wonder you went to monitor the acrobatic class. Do you think Wu Rui'er was actually taken out of Xie's Mansion by the acrobatic class through Aunt Bai?"
"yes."
Everyone gasped.
Huaixiu said, "Wu Ruier wore gold and silver before she died, not because she wanted to live a decent life or because she missed Mr. Xie, but more likely to make everyone think that the person under the ruins was herself. Because of Sheng Changsi
While investigating Xie Rui and Wu Xing, there were no clues yet. In fact, there had been problems with the Ministry of War's account for a long time. The governor of Yunzhou had participated in the investigation two years ago, but it was not taken seriously. Therefore, Sheng Changsi and I decided to use this case to
As a result, firstly, through Mrs. Zhao being imprisoned, Wu Ruier might be forced to show up, and secondly, Xie Rui and others were exposed as heretics. Sure enough, on the second day after the fake case was closed, when I monitored the acrobatic class, not only did I discover Bai
Auntie, we also discovered the pirate Hu San."
"Huaixiu, it turns out you were hiding it from me." Chang'an was unhappy.
Huaixiu said sheepishly, "And I deliberately hid it from someone. Sheng Changsi wants to inspect the Ministry of War. The fewer people know about it, the better. Even Brother Qin only found out after the fact."
Speaking of which, the crimes Hu San committed in Shi'an County were also revealed to everyone.
Everyone was silent. Huaixiu sighed, "I'm really sorry. When I was investigating Wu Ruier's case, I investigated the case many times for personal reasons."
Hu Yuzhu was confused after hearing this, Wu Zhuo admired her very much, and Jiang Ze felt a little impressed, "This is not a private matter..."
Chang'an was surprised, "You said Hu San kidnapped Song Yuan and Rong Niang back then?"
Huaixiu said, "One of them is my benefactor, and the other is my childhood companion."
Chang'an pursed his lips and stopped talking, while Zhou Qingyue remained silent.
"Then what does this have to do with the missing body?" Hu Yuzhu asked.
Huai Xiu said, "Since it is suspected that Wu Ruier is not dead, then who is the body of the Xie family?"
Wu Zhuo said, "If we can find Aunt Bai, the truth about all this will surely come to light."
"Aunt Bai has escaped, so we can only start with the source of the body." Jiang Ze raised his sword, "In this case, we will go to the Lin family." Yan Bishuai walked out first.
"Hey," Hu Yuzhu said, "I've never seen you so active in Tongzhou."
Huaixiu followed him out, while Chang'an and Hu Yuzhu squeezed out first for fear of falling behind.
Wu Zhuo looked at Zhou Qingyue and saw that she was distracted, "What about you?"
Zhou Qingyue returned to God and said, "I'm going to find Wu Xing."
"There's no need to be in such a hurry to make meritorious deeds." Wu Zhuo chuckled, "I'll... ask the Yamen to see if there's anything he needs me to do."
When Huaixiu and the other two arrived at Lin's house in the suburbs of Beijing, they found that the place was empty. The neighbors around the building didn't know when they moved out. They said they saw the couple two days ago. It turned out that the Lins were not
The locals came to this village two years ago. Li Zheng said that they came from Yunzhou and settled here because of the war. The men went to the mountains to collect firewood, and the women woven and embroidered at home. The women were very good at embroidery, and sometimes
They will be taken to the city and sold.
Huaixiu received some fabrics from the Lin family, which were quite exotic.
"What's this?"
Hu Yuzhu found a brocade box with the words "Jinyi Pavilion" on it.
Jiang Zedao, "This is a clothing store in Beijing."
"That's right," Li Zheng said, "Mrs. Lin's fabrics were sold to Jinyi Pavilion, and everyone in the village praised her very much."
Huaixiu suddenly remembered that he had heard of Jinyi Pavilion from Miss Liang.
"It looks like we're going on a trip," Huaixiu said.
"I'll go with you." Jiang Ze said.
"I'll go too."
"I'll go too."
"What does it have to do with you? This is our case."
"What does it have to do with you? This is our case too."
Huaixiu heard Yuzhu bickering with Chang'an and shook his head unbearably.
Jinyi Pavilion:
Feng Zheng was reporting the situation to his master, "Lao He and the others have already escaped, and the "Deyuan" store has been closed. Everything has been cleaned up. Even if the store is found in the six doors, it is just an empty shelf and nothing can be found."
."
Mo Yi stood under the window with his hands folded, looking at a ginkgo tree in the yard that had begun to turn yellow, and sighed.
Feng Zheng added, "Er Niang and Hu Laosan said that they wanted to come to see the young master and apologize to him."
Mo Yi said, "How is Hu Laosan's injury?"
Feng Zheng replied, "It's nothing serious."
Mo Yi said, "Then let him go back to Qiongzhou. He is not allowed to come back without an order." There was a hint of anger in his words.
"yes."
Feng Zheng said, "How should we deal with Bai Bing under Er Niang? If she hadn't taken care of Wu Rui'er this time, she wouldn't have attracted the attention of the Six Sects."
At this moment, I heard someone outside say, "Hui Niang wants to see you."
"Come in."
Lu Huiniang walked into the room, and Feng Zheng saluted her, "I've met Madam."
Lu Huiniang nodded, looked at Mo Yi under the window, and said softly, "What happened to Wu Ruier is all Huiniang's fault."
Mo Yi said, "This has nothing to do with you."
Hui Niang shook her head, "Wu Rui'er was a distinguished guest in the store. I heard Er Niang mentioned that she was beaten by her husband, and felt she was very pitiful, so I asked Er Niang to help her. Then Bai Bing asked Lao He to take Wu Rui'er with him.
Leave the Xie family, otherwise it won't lead to what happened later. If Brother Song wants to punish Hui Niang, let's punish Hui Niang." After saying this, he knelt down.
Mo Yi came to her in two or two steps and helped her up, "What are you doing? You don't have to blame yourself. It's because they didn't do things well..."
"Madam, some police officers came from the sixth door and said they want to see you." A little girl reported outside the door.

Huaixiu, Chang'an, Yuzhu, and Jiang Ze came to Jinyi Pavilion. The three girls were stunned by the luxury here.
This is more than just a ready-to-wear store!
The four-door shop door, the large storefront, the exquisite decoration, the elegant style, the ladies coming in and out, the fragrant clothes and all kinds of high-quality silks and satins, make people dazzled.
Chang'an and Yuzhu touched it here and there, "This material is good. I've seen it in Hangzhou."
"This foot of cloth can be used as our salary for one month."
Huaixiu has not cared about these belts since she was a child, and this time she couldn't help but feel, "Being a woman... really costs money!"
Jiang Ze smiled softly after hearing this.
Chang'an came closer to Huaixiu and said, "Look, these girls are dressed better than us."
Huaixiu smiled and said, "How about you stop being a policeman and come here to be a girl."
Changan snorted.
Hui Niang came from the backyard. After hearing this, she chuckled and said, "I don't know how many arrests there are... Hey, it turns out to be Miss Li."
Huaixiu was also surprised to meet Lu Huiniang here, "It turns out that Mrs. Lu's ready-to-wear shop is actually Jinyi Pavilion."
Hui Niang smiled and said, "Ms. Li was made to laugh. By the way, did you find the person you were looking for?"
Huaixiu bowed to Huiniang and said, "I already have some features. I would like to thank Madam for reminding me."
"So, you guys know each other." Chang'an and Yuzhu said in unison.
After a brief conversation, Huaixiu explained the purpose of his visit, and Huiniang invited several of them to go up to the second floor for a detailed discussion.
"Is there more upstairs?" Yuzhu was surprised.
Huiniang led everyone up to the second floor. Unexpectedly, it was even more elegant upstairs. There were more than a dozen ready-made clothes on display on the second floor, with novel styles and gorgeous fabrics. In addition, there were embroiderers working on site. Watch their skillful work.
The girls were very impressed by the needlework and brocade embroidery. Huiniang said, "Every piece of ready-made clothing is tailor-made for the distinguished guests. According to their preferences, the embroiderer will give suggestions and then design it."
Huaixiu said, "Making clothes used to be a very simple thing, but it's not like that."
Hui Niang smiled and said, "If the girls like it, Hui Niang can give them a set of clothes."
Yuzhu couldn't help but pursed her lips and said, "I can afford it."
