Although it was night, Madam Zhu quickly recognized the place.

This place is very close to Shuntian Mansion, and she came here not long ago.

Once, when Hua Jingwen came back from the Lu family and passed by Shuntian Mansion, she sent Madam Zhu around to see if there was a newly opened book shop. Madam Zhu thought that Hua Jingwen wanted to buy books, so she didn't care. After returning to the house, she told Hua Jingwen about the specific location of the book shop, but Hua Jingwen asked her if she had seen Hua Jingyao. Only then did Madam Zhu realize that the owner of this book shop was the third girl in the mansion, that is, Hua Jingyao, who was called Miss Hua outside.

Madam Zhu stood outside the carriage, her feet seemed to have roots, and she couldn't move in an instant.

Why did he bring her here? This is the shop of the third girl.

Thinking of this, Madam Zhu suddenly turned around and looked at the carriage she was riding on.

Maybe I don’t want to attract attention. There are no lanterns hanging on the carriage, and I can’t see the logo. At first glance, I don’t know which one it belongs to.

But Madam Zhu can confirm at a glance that the owner of the carriage is either the prince, the prince, or the princess.

Now the carriage is parked outside this book shop, she can know without thinking about it. She brought her here to Miss Hua.

Perhaps, Mrs. Huang and Lao Huang, together with the honest young man Ada, are also Miss Hua’s people.

There was a urging sound in my ears, it was the one who brought her here.

With the lights coming out of the book shop, Madam Zhu could vaguely see the outline of this man. She was a young man in her twenties.

Madam Zhu exhaled a long breath. At this moment, she had no way out and could only move forward. No matter what was waiting for her in the bookstore, she had no choice but to go.

......

Mrs. Lu looked at the drip in the corner of the house impatiently. The people who went to Shuntian Mansion to collect the body had not yet come back, and these people were increasingly procrastinating in their work.

"Have the cabin been packed out?" asked Mrs. Lu.

The maid hurriedly said, "Everything is packed, and the birthday materials are delivered. Just outside the cattle shed. When the time comes, the people will be buried and carried directly in. The people in the mansion will not go there, so they will not scare anyone."

Mrs. Lu was not afraid of the coffin scaring people. She was just waiting for the right words of Prefect Li of Shuntian Prefecture, just like Master Hua. Master Hua Si did not commit any crime, but just went to Shuntian Prefecture to help investigate the case.

Of course, there must be people sent by Shuntian Prefecture to pay tribute.

The staff in the mansion have already gone to the mansion of the Prefect Li. Whether the Master Hua Si is buried in a grand ceremony or a straw mat is buried in a mass grave, it depends on the attitude of the Prefect Li.

After waiting for another incense stick, Mrs. Lu yawned with a veil covering her mouth. At this moment, a maid hurriedly walked in: "Madam, the people who went to Shuntian Mansion have returned, and they have not received the body of the Fourth Master."

"What?" Mrs. Lu's sleepiness disappeared suddenly. She couldn't help but raise her voice, "Where is the person who went to get the body, let him in, I want to ask myself."

Old Huang walked in with a hunched over, and the maids in the room frowned in disgust. Mrs. Lu also smelled an unpleasant smell, not knowing whether it was the smell of sweat or horse manure.

She held back her disgust and said to Lao Huang: "What's going on? What about the body of the Fourth Master? What did Shuntian Mansion say?"

Lao Huang's voice was heavy, as if there was thick phlegm in his throat: "I didn't say much, just said it was a serious crime. The body had to be tested by the coroner before the cause of death was announced. When the entire case was solved, the family would be brought back."

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Lu held the hand of a veil and slapped the armrest of the chair. "When someone asked someone to send a letter to him, he kept saying that he asked his relatives to collect the body. It took only a few hours, so why didn't he let him take it? Besides, how can the coroner be examined for an autopsy? It would be impossible to open the stomach without the consent of the uncle's mansion!"

The maid on the side also said, "Old Huang, didn't you tell them that it was the yamen who came to report the news and asked us to get the body?"

"I said it, they refused to admit it, saying that it was nothing. They just informed the person that he had died and did not mention the body being taken. We heard it wrong." Lao Huang's phlegm sound became heavier, which made Mrs. Lu feel upset.

"Come, go and report the message to Master." Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth, but what could she do, a woman in the inner husband? She could only ask Master Hua about such a problem.

Master Hua was sitting in the study outside, and he was waiting for others.

In the afternoon, the staff went to Shuntian Mansion and did not meet the prefect Li, so they went to the prefect Li Mansion in the evening. Master Hua asked him to bring an ancient book.

Master Hua asked someone to inquire. Two days ago, Prefect Li saw this book in Rongbaozhai and couldn't put it down. Unfortunately, it cost 500 taels. Prefect Li couldn't afford so much money for the moment, so he had to give up.

Although the Qingyuan Bo Mansion was not rich, it was nothing but five hundred taels. Master Hua sent someone to Rongbaozhai to buy this book and asked his staff to take it to the Li Mansion.

I had heard that Prefect Li was afraid of him. Now it seems that it is true. Otherwise, how could a third-rank official not even get 500 taels of silver?

Anyone has weaknesses. Prefect Li is the second-tier and is deeply trusted by the emperor, but he also has weaknesses.

Fear of being stingy, love books as if they are destined.

Master Hua tapped his fingers on the table and said to another staff member: "Li Gong, who is like the one who gives him a whole box of gold, he is afraid that he will not even have a good face, for fear that it will affect his official voice when it is heard, but if he gives him a book like this, the situation will be different."

The staff member looked admiring and complimented: "It's still Dongweng who has foresight, just an ancient book, but only five hundred taels can do the things. The students admire them very much, and admire them very much."

Master Hua stroked his beard and listened to his assistant's heartfelt words, and felt more and more relieved.

He was very satisfied with these two aides. As it turns out, the aides do not depend on the number, but on the ability.

I don’t know that the aide sent to the Li Mansion should have been on the way back with good news.

At this moment, the servant came in from outside and said, "Brother, the person who went to Shuntian Mansion to get the corpse is back, but the body has not been brought back."

......

At this time, the aide that Master Hua was thinking about was squatting in the small class room of the Wucheng Bingmasi. It was said that it was a class room, but it was actually a cage. I don’t know how the guys from the Wucheng Bingmasi could be so damaged. This cage was not only small, but also short. Unless it was a five or six-year-old child, he would not stand up at all. If he met the tall one, he would not be able to sit straight on his back.

However, the people captured by the Five City Military Command will not stay in this cage for more than one day.

Whether it is a thief or a horse sent by a patrolman, he can leave as long as he pays the fine silver. As for those who cannot pay the fine silver, he will beat him and transfer it to Shuntian Mansion.
