Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 224 Bear’s Paw

The capital has a large population, so finding a child with a red mole on the left hand is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Yun Hao ordered his cronies, "Tell Snake Da to ask his people to help find a child with a red mole on the left hand. Remember to do it in secret and not attract anyone's attention."

The confidant nodded in agreement and quickly left the study.

She Da is the leader of the largest underground gang in Beijing and has a deep friendship with Yun Hao. Over the years, the two of them have maintained a delicate cooperative relationship that is mutually beneficial.

Three days later, in the evening, a henchman took a five or six-year-old boy into Yun Hao's study, "Sir, we found it! This is the child that Sheda and the others found!"

The confidant took the little boy's hand and showed the mole on his tiger's mouth to Yun Hao.

Yun Hao nodded and asked as gently as possible: "My child, what is your name?"

The little boy seemed a little scared. He shrank and whispered, "My name is Afu. Hello, sir."

"I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer them well, you'll be rewarded with silver." Yun Hao said.

"Thank you, sir, Ah Fu will answer the questions well." Ah Fu said with his fists clasped.

"Did you go to Dr. Wu's house in Jingshuifang and send a letter?" Yun Hao asked.

Ah Fu is not very old, and after such a long time, he doesn’t remember much.

"Don't be anxious, think about it slowly." Yun Hao asked someone to bring some pastries for Ah Fu to eat.

Ah Fu ate a lot of pastries, eating four or five pieces at a time. Yun Hao was afraid that he would burst, so he quickly stopped him and said, "You can bring these back later."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." Ah Fu knelt down and kowtowed three times to Yun Hao.

"It doesn't have to be like this, get up." Yun Hao said.

Ah Fu got up from the ground, "I remember, sir! Someone asked me to send a letter to Dr. Wu."

"Can you remember the appearance of the person who sent you the message?" Yun Hao continued to ask.

Ah Fu blinked and tried to remember, "He was wearing a bamboo hat, covering most of his face, so he couldn't see clearly. He was tall, wearing a black robe, and held a wooden stick in his hand."

"Do you still remember what he said?" Yun Hao asked.

"He gave me a letter and asked me to deliver it to Dr. Wu's house in Jingshuifang. He said that if Dr. Wu was not at home, he would leave the letter at the door." Ah Fu recalled.

"Didn't he give you any other instructions or anything?" Yun Hao asked further.

Ah Fu shook his head, "No, sir. He just asked me to deliver the letter, and then gave me some copper coins as reward."

Yun Hao frowned. This description didn't provide much useful information, "Does he have an accent when he speaks?"

"No accent." Ah Fu replied.

"Then does he smell anything?"

Ah Fu thought for a moment and said, "It smells like medicine."

"If you think of anything later, you can come and tell me." Yun Hao gave Ah Fu a piece of silver, "Tianque, take Ah Fu down and settle him properly."

The man who brought Ah Fu came in and took Ah Fu away.

It's really hard to find a tall man with unknown appearance and no obvious features.

The letter smelled of medicine, and the man also smelled of medicine. This might be the only clue.

And this clue may not be useful. Maybe the man was sick during that period and his body would smell of medicine.

He has recovered from his illness and does not need to drink medicine, and his body will no longer smell of medicine.

Yun Hao tapped his fingers on the table and fell into deep thought.

For a long time, I didn't have any clue, so I simply picked up the sword and went outside to practice.

The tip of the sword drew silver tracks in the air, and the sword wind roared, bringing up a piece of snowflakes, which fell one after another.

Snowflakes fell on his hair and shoulders, contrasting sharply with his black clothes.

Turning around, he saw Zhao Wangshu standing in the corridor, smiling. He quickly sheathed his sword and walked towards her, "Why are you here?" "Someone sent a pair of bear paws. Grandma asked me to send one to you. Eat." Zhao Wangshu smiled, "I said I would just call you over and eat together, but Grandma said that your cook should be better at doing this."

"Grandma is so polite." Yun Hao asked his servants to take the bear's paw to the kitchen. He took Zhao Wangshu's hand and entered the Nuan Pavilion.

"Are you in a bad mood?" Zhao Wangshu asked.

"No." Yun Hao denied.

"I can see that there is a sense of depression in your swordsmanship." Zhao Wangshu stared at him with a firm tone.

Yun Hao smiled helplessly, "Maybe it's because there have been a lot of things lately."

"Can you tell me? Maybe I can help you share some of the burden." Zhao Wangshu looked at him gently, his eyes full of concern.

Yun Hao was silent for a while and said: "I am investigating the case of the murder of the second princess, but there are too few clues and the progress is not going well."

"The second princess was killed?" Zhao Wangshu opened his mouth in shock.

"Yes, someone killed her, but we found one person but couldn't catch him." Yun Hao explained the matter simply.

"Yun Hao, you've gone too far. You can try to investigate this case in a different way."

"What other way of thinking?" Yun Hao asked sincerely.

"Who is the biggest profiteer from the death of the second princess?"

"What was their purpose in killing the second princess?"

"Why did you kill the second princess only after she was accused of being married?"

Zhao Wangshu asked three questions in a row, and Yun Hao laughed dumbly, "It's time to trace the origin."

As he said that, he hugged Zhao Wangshu gently and said, "Wangshu, thank you."

"I suddenly feel enlightened, and I can enjoy the delicious food in a relaxed mood." Zhao Wangshu said with a crooked smile.

"Okay." Yun Hao smiled, "Sorry for making you worry."

During lunch, steaming orchid bear paws were served on the table.

Bear paw is the main ingredient, cooked with auxiliary ingredients such as prawns, rapeseed hearts, ham, winter bamboo shoots, etc. It is shiny and smooth and has a unique shape.

Zhao Wangshu took a bite and his eyes lit up, "No wonder they say bear paws, deer antlers, monkey brains, and foie gras are top delicacies."

The bear's paw is cooked just right, retaining its unique deliciousness and removing its own greasy and fishy smell. It has a mellow taste and endless aftertaste.

"If you like it, I'll ask someone to get more." Yun Hao said dotingly.

"No, you just need to try this top-notch delicacy. You can't eat it often. It's too harmful to the world." Zhao Wangshu shook his head and refused.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Yun Hao smiled.

After lunch, Yun Hao sent Zhao Wangshu out. It snowed again in the sky, and the snowflakes were flying like white butterflies dancing in the air.

Yun Hao helped Zhao Wangshu get on the carriage, and he followed.

Zhao Wangshu asked with a smile: "You want to send me back?"

"Well, I'll take you back." Yun Hao nodded, with deep tenderness and concern in his eyes, "It's snowing so hard, I don't trust you to go back alone."

He sat down next to her, "Besides, I want to stay with you for a little longer."

"You are so reluctant to leave me?" Zhao Wangshu joked gently, with a mischievous light in his eyes.

Yun Hao smiled slightly and looked at her quietly.

The carriage drove slowly through the snow, the wheels making a creaking sound as they ran over the snow.
