don't wear no acquaintance

At dawn, after Xia Guang sent Zhao Yunshen home, he brought Lei Ting and others to Baodeng Alley, sealed off the yard, and conducted a detailed search again.

"Old man, did you hear anything unusual last night?"

Bai Shile was asking about the old man, that is, Liu Laicai, who lived in the next yard and was unwell.

"Cough cough cough... I heard someone talking, and when I came over, I saw some adults, cough cough..."

The old man was thin and his complexion was sallow. At this time, he was very nervous. He coughed and was out of breath after he finished speaking. He also felt uncomfortable listening to Bai Shile, but he still patiently waited for the old man to finish coughing.

"Then before that, did you hear other movements or see any suspicious people?"

Bai Shile's question made the old man start to think seriously, and then slowly shook his head;
"I didn't hear any movement before this, but..."

Suddenly, the old man seemed to think of something, but also seemed not sure, as if he didn't know whether to say it or not.

"You don't have to worry, just tell us what's going on, maybe something that seems insignificant can help us a lot."

"Besides, life is at stake in this matter. If the murderer is not caught and brought to justice as soon as possible, none of us can feel at ease!"

Bai Shile's unassuming gentle analysis moved old man Liu, and then said without any scruples;

"Yesterday, before dark, I saw two young men rushing into the yard, looking at their posture...it seems that something is not quite right...cough cough..."

Old man Liu coughed again before he finished speaking, and seeing his uncomfortable appearance, he knew that the problem had not lasted for a day or two. Bai Shile took another look at his thin and rough clothes, and looked away calmly, waiting for him to calm down. then asked again;

"What's wrong? Have you seen the faces of those two people?"

"My old man can't say for sure. I just feel that the two of them are a little flustered. They still turn their heads and look back from time to time as they walk. They lower their heads as they walk, and they don't see their faces clearly. However, their bodies and walking posture, He looks like a young man at first glance, I can’t go wrong with this, I dare to pat my chest to assure you.”

There is indeed an extra clue in what old man Liu said!
If the deceased was really Zhang Tiangui, who was that person with him?
What role did he play in this matter?
"Thank you..."

"My lord, there is a man here! He is alive!"

Just as Bai Shile opened his mouth to thank Old Man Liu, Xia Guang shouted from behind the main house.

"Please wait a moment!"

Upon hearing that there was a big living person, Bai Shile immediately got up and said this to old man Liu.

"Listen to the adults!"

Old man Liu hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully.

Bai Shile turned around and strode towards the back. At the back, Xia Guang and several guards were carrying an unconscious young man up from a cellar.

"You are angry, you just passed out!"

Putting the person on the ground, Lei Ting stepped forward to take a breath, and said affirmatively to Bai Shile.

"Take it out and let old man Liu recognize it!"

After gaining something, Bai Shile's mood became lighter, and after giving the order, she turned around and left again.

When he came out, he saw that Old Man Liu was accompanied by a young man in his twenties. The moment he saw Bai Shile and Lei Ting, the young man froze, and he was so nervous that he was at a loss. bow your head.

"This is Xiaomin's eldest grandson, named Liu Sui. The child has never seen the world, so please don't blame him!"

Seeing his grandson Liu Sui nervously sticking to his side, old man Liu hurriedly opened his mouth to apologize to Bai Shile.

"It's okay!"

After taking a few glances at Liu Sui, who had his head down, Bai Shile spoke in a good-tempered manner.

"This person was just discovered from the cellar at the back. Please take a closer look. Is he one of the two you saw yesterday?"

Bai Shile pointed to the unconscious man with pale face and dressed in blue and gray coarse cloth jacket and trousers and asked Old Man Liu.

"It's him...it's him!"

But before Old Man Liu could speak, the timid Liu Sui suddenly answered in the affirmative.

"In front of adults, don't talk nonsense!"

Old man Liu, who was afraid that his grandson would cause trouble, immediately began to preach, and then looked at Bai Shile anxiously.

"My lord, my lord's words are inappropriate, please forgive me!"

"You know him?"

After Bai Shile gave old man Liu a reassuring look, he stared at the nervous Liu Sui and asked slowly.

"I... Xiaomin have met him several times in recent days, and I always saw him coming in and out of here, and..."

Liu Sui fell silent while talking, and raised his head to look at Bai Shile uneasily.

"Don't worry, just tell what you see!"

Encouraged by Bai Shile, Liu Sui spoke again;
"And he has been wearing this suit for the past few days. Once when he saw me looking at him, he scolded me fiercely, so I recognize him!"

Xu felt that the "Guan Ye" was not as scary as in the appearance. After Liu Sui finished speaking in one breath, he was obviously more relaxed than before, and he dared to raise his head to look at other people.

"Then do you know this person's name?"

Bai Shile's questioning this time caused Liu Sui to shake his head, and the old man Liu said after being silent for a while;

"This young man just moved here recently. The old son is gone, so the old couple sold the yard cheaply and moved out of the capital. Maybe he is the new buyer of the yard..."

"My lord, Xiaomin suddenly remembered that I heard someone calling him 'zhuzi' outside the alley two days ago, I don't know if it was his name!"

Just as Old Man Liu finished speaking, Liu Sui, who suddenly remembered this matter, said uncertainly.

"I know, thank you both for your cooperation. If you think of anything else or find other clues, you can go to the Jingwei Office."

"At that time, the two of you will say that you can find Xia Guang."

After Bai Shile finished speaking, Xia Guang on the side added his name.

After seeing off the grandparents of the Liu family, Bai Shile brought the 'Light of Hope' - the unconscious man to the yamen again, and the yard was handed over to Lei Ting to deal with the aftermath.

In an instant, 'he' felt a headache!
"What did you say?"

Thinking of the king of Anjun—Ye Lingfeng, Zhao Yun was deeply disgusted, and his pretty brows were also wrinkled, and he couldn't hide his disgust.

"Prince An didn't say it, but Princess Wenxi said that she would come to visit Madam!"

After Yurun finished speaking, she raised her head and carefully looked at the face of her 'Miss'. Seeing the familiar and not familiar pretty face turned cold, she knew that her 'Miss' was unhappy, so she immediately to ask probingly;
"Why don't the servants find an excuse to let them go?"

Facing a county prince and a princess, it is really difficult to do this, but Yurun thinks she might be able to.

"No need to—"

Zhao Yunshen rejected Yurun's proposal without even thinking about it, then put down the book in his hand, got up slowly and walked outside;
Seeing this, Yurun quickly followed...
