The toilets in the yamen are not distinguished from men and women. After all, except for a few female prisoners, there are no other women in the yamen. These female prisoners do not come here to use the toilet on weekdays. They all go to the slums where street slaves live in the back alleys.

There is everything in the carriage in the eldest princess's house, and there is no Gongguan, so Miss Hua can only go to the toilet where hollyhocks are full of. Every time Xiao Ai will guard outside to prevent a young man from breaking in.

Miss Hua looked at the hollyhock in her hand. Although she didn't know why Chen Xiao gave her a broken flower, she knew one thing. Chen Xiao had been to the toilet!

Miss Hua riled and teared her up casually, leaving only the remaining red in the wind...

Shi Jia quickly brought back the news that Yuan Chongjiu's family was gone.

Who is Yuan Chongjiu?

He lives in Baishitou Hutong, and Nie Yuanshen's outer room originally lived in Baishitou Hutong.

Yuan Chongjiu is the landlord of that family.

On that day, Captain Yin took three portraits for Yuan Chongjiu to identify, and Yuan Chongjiu recognized Nie Yuanshen inside.

Hua Jingyao saw Yuan Chongjiu's confession. According to him, the woman moved into Baishitou Hutong four years ago and rented his house. The woman claimed that her surname was Li, and there was also a nanny living there with her. It is said that she was her wet nurse. Miss Li was about twenty years old, with a dignified appearance and elegant manners, like a lady from a wealthy family.

Seeing that they were all women, Yuan Chongjiu refused to rent the house to them, so he was afraid of causing trouble. The next day, the nanny brought a middle-aged man who looked very grand. The man claimed to be Miss Li's cousin, and Yuan Chongjiu rented a house the first day. When he saw the man, he guessed something and thought to himself that Miss Li was eight or ninety-nine, the outer room kept by a man. Such people were not short of money, so he rented the house to them.

Yuan Chongjiu has two small houses in the alley, one rented to Mrs. Li, and the other one lived in their own family. According to the confession, Yuan Chongjiu often saw men who claimed to be Mrs. Li's cousin. The man came here five or six times a month and would spend the night here every time. Mrs. Li didn't go out on weekdays, and occasionally someone saw her, and she was wearing gold and silver.

About two years ago, Yuan Chongjiu's wife went home and said that she saw Madam Li's cousin in the pharmacy at the entrance of the alley. The man was buying medicine. After he left, Yuan's wife asked the man in the pharmacy what medicine the man bought, and the man said it was Thirteenth Taibao.

Therefore, Yuan Chongjiu suspected that Miss Li was pregnant.

More than a month after this incident, Mrs. Li's wet nurse found his house and said that the elderly man at home was sick and wanted to go back to see him. The wet nurse left three months of rent and said that she would come back in three months.

Mrs. Li went there for three months. Seeing that the rent had expired, the person had not come back.

Yuan Chongjiu then found a locksmith and pried open the lock. Only then did he find that the things in the house had been emptied at some point, leaving only a few beds, tables and chairs.

So he rented out the house again, thinking that if Miss Li came back, he would have to refund the rent for one month.

Unexpectedly, Miss Li never came back after going there. It has been two or three years now.

Yuan Chongjiu's confession was well organized, with signatures and connotations, and no flaws were seen.

Now Hua Jingyao took over Nie Yuanshen’s outdoor room and sent Shi Jia to find Yuan Chongjiu to learn more about the situation, but she did not expect that Yuan Chongjiu’s family had already left the house.

"The neighbors said they didn't know when Yuan Chongjiu's family left. They didn't pay attention at first, but later they found that the door of his house had been locked for several days. As for Miss Li, the neighbors said that his house moved in last year and did not know what happened two or three years ago. The young man knocked on the door and asked in Baishitou Hutong. Unexpectedly, all the people living in the alley were tenants, and there were no long-term rentals. Most of them were one or six months. There were two families who moved in last month. They could not know about the things they had in the previous two years." Shi Jia said.

Hua Jingyao's heart moved and said to Shi Jia: "You can find a way to check whether the two houses in Baishitou Hutong belong to Yuan Chongjiu."

Although it is a bit troublesome, fortunately there are tooth shops. Most of the whole yard rented for rent will be through tooth shops.

After spending a long time, Shi Jia found out from the Yashu. The two yards that Yuan Chongjiu mentioned were not his!

Coincidentally, the real landlord of these two houses turned out to be Madam Feng’s grandfather!

Feng's grandfather used to be an imperial chef and bought many family businesses. After his death, he left these businesses to Feng's mother. Feng's mother was the chef of the Zhuangyuan Building. She had no time to manage the family business, so she simply found a time-honored Yajian and entrusted them to rent out all four or five houses. Every few months, the Yajian would send someone to send her the rent to the Zhuangyuan Building.

After Feng's mother passed away, Madam Feng didn't want to stay in the Zhuangyuan Building because of her facial disease, so she came to serve as a chef for Master Hua San. She just informed Yashang a while ago that she would send the rent to Zheluxiang in the future.

As for the several houses left by Mr. Feng, Mrs. Feng only knew the approximate location, and she had never been there once.

Shi Jia was shocked: "Rich people are so low-key!"

Every inch of land is valuable in the capital. Madam Feng owns five or six real estate, but she is still working hard outside. If he hadn't found out about this case, he wouldn't have thought of it.

Hua Jingyao laughed. She had guessed that Miss Feng was rich. Not to mention Mr. Feng’s Royal Chef for now, she would only talk about Madam Feng’s mother. She was the chef of the Zhuangyuan Building. The Zhuangyuan Building is one of the top restaurants in the capital. The chef of the Zhuangyuan Building not only has Yueyin, but also has dividends at the end of the year. The mother and daughter almost all eat and live in the restaurant, so it is impossible not to save money.

"It's okay, Shi Jia, you brothers will start saving money from now on. When your grandson grows up, you will be as rich as Miss Feng." Hua Jingyao comforted.

Shi Jia was stunned. The girl said everything was right, but why was she even more depressed?

In addition, the information found in Yashang was that the two houses in Baishitou Hutong were rented to two merchants from the south four years ago. The two came to do business together and left Beijing together. After they left, the house was empty for more than a year. One of them was rented to an official who had just arrived in the capital the year before. The official rented it for half a year and thought it was too far from the yamen, so he canceled the rent. Last year, one of them was rented to a businessman named Zhang. The lease was for two years. The man paid the rent for two years at a time. The people from Yashang did not ask about it anymore. The rent has not expired. If Shi Jia did not go to investigate, Yashang would think that the man still lives there.

"Where is the person named Zhang doing business? Have you found out?" Hua Jingyao asked.
