"The woman was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and her Mandarin language had a hint of Wu accent. She said that she would go back to the south after the new year to choose the four treasures of the study as gifts for her uncles and brothers. Because she was a big customer, Wang Quan took her to the second building."

Female relatives?
The person who gave Chu Liangchen the ingot of gold was also a woman.

"After Wang Quan received the letter that someone secretly handed over, he would put it in a secret compartment behind a Guanyin statue on the second floor. There are two rooms on the second floor. One is a warehouse, and a screen is used to separate a guest waiting room. Elegant room.”

"The rest is where Wang Quan occasionally rests, and the Guanyin statue is here."

"I checked the shipping brochure in the store. The things the woman wanted were quite rare and messy. The shopkeeper went to the warehouse to look for them, which would take a long time. If she had come prepared, she would have had a chance to take a peek. The letter that Chen Shenji gave to Wang Quan."

Gu Shiwei frowned as he listened, "There is only Wang Quan in the store. He is dead. How do you know that this big customer is a woman?"

"In addition to buying pens, ink, paper and inkstones, she also did other special things in Mirror Lane, so is she remembered?"

Han Shiyan gave Gu Shinwei an appreciative look, "Yes, she also bought a lot of rouge and gouache that are popular in Bianjing City. The rouge and gouache shop is right opposite the Four Treasures Shop of the Study. You can still see it from the store."

"Because she bought a lot, she was remembered. Not only that, she asked about some things about Wang Quan on the pretext of buying pens, inks, paper and inkstones."

"Very arrogant, isn't it? She seems to be sure that the government can't find her, so she doesn't hide it too much."

Gu Shiwei listened and raised his eyebrows, "Of course you can be arrogant. I dare to ask Han Yushi, do you know how many boudoir ladies there are in Bianjing City? What are their names? Who can see her wearing a curtain hat? What did he look like when he was born?"

Han Shiyan was speechless.

That's not exactly the problem.

"They are hidden in the boudoir. During the day, they can be a weak and weak girl who takes three steps and vomits blood. At night, she will pick up a sword and kill everyone! Who knows?"

"Even if that person is your unmarried wife, you may only know about her family background, name and date of birth."

In this case, the clue equals no clue.

Gu Shiwei ate three skewers in a row and got a little tired of it. She put down the stick and shook her head at Han Shiyan.

"Furthermore, this can only mean that this woman had the opportunity to peek at the letter, but it does not prove that she was the one who peeked at it."

"If I knew in advance where Wang Quan placed his letters on weekdays, a person with my skills could easily flip through them and read eight hundred chapters while it was dark. Not only that, I could even dance a section in that room Hu Xuan Wu!”

Gu Shiwei said, then paused, "Of course, I can't dance the Hu Xuan Dance. You can think of it as a monkey jumping up to pick chestnuts!"

Han Shiyan was silent again. He silently turned down the fire and put the sugar-burning pot on the ground aside.

I always feel that the chestnuts are not so delicious all of a sudden.

Seeing this, Gu Shiwei immediately stretched out his hand and started roasting it on the fire.

Because of long-term sword practice, she had a lot of calluses on her hands, and she didn't look as good-looking as an average little girl.

Not only that, when her wrists were flying, the scars on her arms could still be vaguely glimpsed.

Han Shiyan looked at it, his eyes flashing. These injuries should have been caused when Gu Shiwei was surrounded and killed in the mass grave three years ago.

"You will know everything about Chu Liangchen when you look at the files in a moment. How much do you know about the case of the missing official bank in the canal in the 26th year of Shenghe?"

Han Shiyan looked away from Gu Shiwei's hand and frowned. "The case of the disappearance of Guanyin in Shenghe in 26 years?"

Han Shiyan suddenly calmed down and shook his head, "To be precise, there is no case of missing official silver at all. In the 26th year of Shenghe, two large ships transporting tax silver collided in the river and finally sank. Into the canal."

"But this was not handled as a case because the money was not stolen by thieves, but by accident."

"The official silver did not disappear, but sank to the bottom of the river. At that time, the imperial court sent people to salvage it underwater. Although the silver coins were not recovered, someone saw the boxes and cages containing the coins sinking at the bottom of the river."

"The Yushitai basically did nothing in this matter. Because there is no need for impeachment, the imperial court will naturally punish those people and escort them to unfavorable conditions."

"There were two people responsible for escorting the tax money at that time. I can't remember their specific names, but they all died in the shipwreck. The ship transporting the tax money was very large, and the draft was very deep because of the weight of the money."

"The two boats sinking together will create a huge whirlpool. The people on the boat swam to escape, but many people were sucked in by the whirlpool. Therefore, the casualties were quite heavy, but there were still some people who escaped death."

He said, paused, and started again.

"Before you ask, this is how the imperial court views this batch of tax money. It is different from the weapon-breaking case."

The whereabouts of the weapons in the weapon-breaking case are still unknown, and the tax money is still sleeping at the bottom of the canal in the hearts of the officials!
"Of course, since you ask this, it means there is something hidden about this batch of tax money."

Gu Shiwei gave Han Shiyan a thumbs up. It was so much easier to talk to smart people!

Unlike Wu Jiang and Jing Li, they were just playing the piano against each other.

Still playing the piano to two cows!

Han Shiyan observed Gu Shiwei's expression and saw that she was relatively calm. He couldn't help but said, "Gu Shiwei, let me investigate the case with you?"

He always felt that he had eaten too many chestnuts wrapped in sugar tonight, which made him full of thoughts.

This is probably like feeling full after eating too much!
He had to run into trouble with Gu Shiwei again and again!

"Aren't we investigating the case together now?"

She said, listening to the thumping footsteps not far away, thinking that Chu Liangchen's place should be almost there, and Wu Jiang would be free to come over.

She thought about it, made a shushing gesture to Han Shiyan, jumped lightly, and climbed to the roof.

As soon as Gu Shiwei left, Wu Jiang rushed in. He looked around and saw the small stool opposite Han Shiyan and several bamboo sticks in different directions, and he exclaimed.

"Where is Gu's family? I even said that I would invite her to eat meat and drink wine! If it weren't for her, I would have been beaten by the old man and my uncle in Kaifeng Mansion! Then Chu Liangchen, Chu Liangchen can do anything. Got it!"

Han Shiyan was still thinking about what Gu Shinwei had just said, and couldn't help but smile.

Hearing Wujiang's whirring sound again, I couldn't help but curse, "Did you go back to Bianjing and leave your brain behind! You're like a monkey jumping up and down to pick chestnuts!"

Wu Jiang was stunned and sat down on the stool, "What monkey? Monkeys can also pick chestnuts. Where did you learn that?"

"How many years have we known each other, haven't I always been like this? Wherever I have my brain!"
