Chapter 48 Inquiry
After Lu Xiaoning learned that the general was the prince of Wei, he lost all mood for shopping.

It seems that she and Wei Wang's house are at odds. Yesterday she offended Princess Yunni, and today she offended Prince Wei's son.

However, the prince of Wei seems quite reasonable, maybe he was overwhelmed by her righteousness, afraid that she would really go to Yushitai to complain about him.

Xi Wu said: "My lord, this prince's martial arts are very high."

After a pause, Xi Wu said again: "The grandson is also good."

Lu Xiaoning squinted at her: "Did you fight with your grandson?"

Why doesn't she know?

Xiwu said expressionlessly: "No, Taisun Qinggong is better than me."

Taisun was able to approach Hancui Pavilion quietly, but she couldn't find it, which is enough to prove that Taisun's lightness kung fu is superior to hers.

Thinking of the picture of Huangfu Shaoye flying with him, Lu Xiaoning couldn't help but pursed his lips, and said, "Let's go, let's get down to business."

When Lu Xiaoning came to Ji's Silk and Satin Village, shopkeeper Sun heard that the lady was coming, so he hurriedly welcomed the lady to the elegant room and served tea in person.

"Miss, are you here to deliver the blueprints for the new shop? The little one has already contacted the carpenter and is ready to enter at any time." Shopkeeper Sun said with a smile.

Lu Xiaoning said leisurely: "I've been busy for the past few days, I haven't had time to draw the blueprints yet, so I'll draw when I get back. I came here today to ask you something."

Shopkeeper Sun saluted: "Miss, it's okay to ask, the little one knows everything."

Lu Xiaoning asked: "Yesterday, a Korean businessman died in Longfu Inn, do you know?"

"I know, that man's name is Jin Zhengxun, a well-known businessman in Korea. Every year, he brings some Korean ginseng, furs, and so on, and then brings back some silk and satin porcelain. We have dealt with each other several times, and this time we have negotiated fifty bolts of cloud silk, fifty bolts of colored satin, fifty bolts of blue cloud silk, and fifty bolts of plain silk. Unfortunately, when the person died, the business also fell through. " Shopkeeper Sun said regretfully.

Lu Xiaoning thought to himself: That Yunwuxiao really belongs to the Ji family.At that time, she glanced at it and thought it belonged to the Ji family.

"Then do you know, apart from discussing business with our Ji family, he also negotiated with other silks and satins?" Lu Xiaoning asked again.

Shopkeeper Sun said: "Almost all the well-known cloth merchants in Jinling City have been contacted by him. After all, he has been in business for more than ten years. This time he will talk to this company, and the next time he will talk to that company. In short, whose goods are easy to talk to?" who to talk about."

Haha, this involves too much, Lu Xiaoning has a heavy heart, if this is the case, it will be more troublesome.

I thought it was a Korean, and the communication was not so extensive.

"Miss, is this the person you want to ask?" Shopkeeper Sun went to fetch a portrait.

Lu Xiaoning glanced at the portrait, he was a man in his thirties, with a long thin face, two beards on his lips, and bright eyes.

"This is..." Lu Xiaoning looked at Shopkeeper Sun suspiciously.

Shopkeeper Sun said: "In the morning, a clerk brought this portrait to ask if he knew this person."

Lu Xiaoning suddenly realized that it was the portrait of the criminal.The people under Huangfu Shaoye are quite efficient in their work.

"Then have you seen it?" Lu Xiaoning asked expectantly.

Shopkeeper Sun shook his head: "Miss, to be honest, I have stayed in Jinling for more than [-] years, and I have never seen this cloth merchant."

Lu Xiaoning's heart sank again.If you haven't even met Shopkeeper Sun, then this person will be hard to find.

Shopkeeper Sun looked at the portrait and said, "If this man is really the murderer, then he must be pretending to be a cloth merchant."

Lu Xiaoning said: "Shopkeeper Sun, your conclusion is too arbitrary, maybe it's a cloth merchant from other places?"

Shopkeeper Sun firmly said: "Impossible, then Jin Zhengxun only does business with local cloth merchants with well-known names and good reputations, and there has never been an exception, so I think that he must not be a cloth merchant. In fact, among the people Jin Zhengxun came into contact with Not only cloth merchants, but also medicine merchants? Many dignitaries in Jinling City also have contacts with him."

Lu Xiaoning thought about it, since shopkeeper Sun said so sure, then this person is 60.00% not a cloth merchant, but the waiter in the shop made it very clear that the person claimed to be delivering fabrics to Kim Zhengxun, and Jin Zhengxun also met him, could it be that he sent cloth? The cloth was just a cover, and the murderer and Kim Jong-hoon knew each other, but Kim Jong-hoon didn't expect that someone would kill him.

Kim Jong-hoon also hides such a secret map related to the crown prince's case. Could it be possible that he sought out some noble person before and wanted to use this map to make a profit?And that nobleman had a guilty conscience or didn't want the matter to be publicized, and he was afraid that Kim Jong-hoon would go to someone else again, so he killed him?
"Miss, why did you ask about this?" Shopkeeper Sun asked curiously.

Lu Xiaoning looked embarrassed, and said: "You don't know Miss Ben very well. Miss Ben is only interested in such mysterious things. I heard it was a secret room murder."

Shopkeeper Sun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Deer, I've heard that this young lady is not very peaceful, Mrs. Ji dotes on her to the sky, and even the masters of the Ji family pamper her very much.

Lu Xiaoning tapped on the coffee table with one finger, continuing the train of thought just now.

If this is the case, then the direction of the investigation should be changed, and it should not be limited to businessmen.I don't know if Gu Shifeng went to Yangzhou to meet Jin Zhengxun's entourage smoothly. The breakthrough of this case may have to fall on this person. If this person is silenced, he will really be caught blind.

This trip was a bit rewarding, but still couldn't find a breakthrough. Lu Xiaoning asked Zhao Yincheng who robbed her of the store. Yesterday, he saw Zhao Yincheng and Huangfu Shaoye Gu Shifeng together, and they seemed to have a good relationship, so he asked about it. .

Shopkeeper Sun said: "Mr. Zhao's father, General Zhao Yi, was once a loyal follower of the prince. He went to southern Yunnan with the prince and died together. The Uncle Anping's mansion was also lonely. Mr. Zhao had an older brother. His name is Zhao Mingcheng, he is brave and good at fighting, but now he is just a small lieutenant stationed on the border in Mobei, and Mr. Zhao is even more incompetent and idle all day long, he is called the number one idler in Jinling..."

Lu Xiaoning knew it in his heart, it seemed that the Anpingbo Mansion was a princeling party, and with the fall of the prince, the Anpingbo Mansion was naturally suppressed everywhere, no wonder Huangfu Shaoye would be with Zhao Yincheng, the origin of his father's generation.Zhao Yincheng, an idler, was probably one of the few people Huangfu Shaoye could trust.

Shopkeeper Sun looked at the time, and it was almost lunch time, so he asked, "Miss, do you want to go back to Lu's residence or eat here? If you eat here, the Huaiyang cuisine in the nearby Zuixianlou is very good. table?"

Lu Xiaoning didn't plan to go back for lunch, and said, "What's the point of calling me over to eat? Where is the Zuixianlou? I'll go over to eat."

Shopkeeper Sun's expression is indescribable, Miss, you really go to a restaurant, is that a place where women can go?
Lu Xiaoning knew what shopkeeper Sun's expression meant, so she didn't care so much. When she was in Huai'an, her cousin always took her to restaurants. What's the big deal?Didn't you go to the brothel?If you say that this is not good in ancient times, patriarchal supremacy, why women should stay at home, don't go out of the door, and don't go through the second door. In her opinion, men are afraid that women will gain more experience when they go out, so they put them away. If you compare yourself, a man can't show off his might.

Lu Xiaoning asked where the Zuixianlou was, and took Xiwu out of Ji's Silk and Satin Village.

"Xiwu, let's go, I will take you to eat delicious food."

Xi Wu curled her lips, looked back at shopkeeper Sun with a distorted expression, and followed the lady's footsteps.

Shopkeeper Sun hurriedly called two assistants and told them to follow the young lady quietly, not to let the young lady suffer.

Even though Xiwu was very skilled in martial arts, even a few strong men couldn't get close to her, shopkeeper Sun was still worried.A place like a restaurant is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, the lady is a woman after all, and if people find out, it will be a big trouble if it is spread that the eldest lady of the Lu family disguises herself as a man to visit the restaurant.
