Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 73
The business of Yangji Flower Cake is booming but not every day. There is no fixed number of days when he will close the shop, so Linshan has been working very hard these few days.

Every day, he watched the steaming doorway but couldn't reveal half of it, so when the business closed today, Lin Shan suddenly regained his energy, this is about to move!

After sealing the door, the boss wore a fur hat and walked out onto the street with his hands folded, greeting people along the way, but his eyes scanned up, down, left, and right vigilantly.Turn right out of the street and there was a carriage parked there, the boss got into the carriage and headed south.

Lin Shan went to the street and told Shen Yu about the situation, "My lord, do you want to continue following?"

"Follow, you drive."

Lin Shan took the reins from the coachman and followed the carriage, neither far nor near, until the carriage arrived at Ruyifang.

What a coincidence, Ruyifang, Tianyin Pavilion and Mingzhu Tower are all suitable for pleasure, especially for those high-ranking officials and nobles. If there are too many people, it is inevitable to chat for a while, and some secrets of the court are recorded for others to use.

Shen Yu felt that there was a net in front of him, a net aimed at all officials of the court had opened its mouth wide, and when the net was closed, the court and the public would also be shocked by it.

"Adult, do you want to follow?"

"Go straight in, things are likely to come to a conclusion today." Shen Yu lifted the corner of his robe, got off the carriage and stood straight at the gate of Ruyifang. Mr. Ruyi smiled wryly and welcomed Shen Yu in.

The owner of Yangji Flower Cake is a simple middle-aged man, not only in his clothes but also in his appearance. There are no distinctive features on his face that can be remembered at a glance. When he walks into the crowd and turns around, he can forget him. looks.

Four people stood in the lobby of Ruyifang, which was empty, because Ruyifang hadn't opened for a long time because it was related to the homicide case.

"Boss Yang, it seems that you lured me here on purpose."

"Master Shen, it is clear that I came to Ruyifang today to surrender to you at the scene of the murder. I killed the two dealers in Ruyifang."

"Oh, why!" Shen Yu sat down on a chair beside him, touched his armor and glanced at Boss Yang.

"No reason, those two people used to help in my store, and I fired them because their hands and feet were not clean. Later, they often went back to my store to steal things. Once they stole my secret recipe, not only returning it to me but also Asked me for a ransom, said that if I dared to report to the government, I would copy the secret recipe hundreds of times and distribute it to anyone.”

"I'm a dutiful businessman, a secret recipe handed down from my ancestors. If this is spread out, my family's livelihood will be ruined. I had no other choice, so I found them and said that I would pay a ransom."

"When we agreed to meet, I brought two special flower cakes with arsenic in them. I thought about begging them again, if they let me keep them, I would not kill them. But when he saw that I didn't bring money, he beat me up. , I nestled in the corner and watched him eat two handfuls of flower cakes, and then died of poison. I went back to the shop and drove the bullock cart and threw him two to the old mountain pass."

"Then why didn't you surrender yourself in the first place?"

"I was scared in my heart, and I thought about it slowly. As a result, people have been staring at me at the door of my shop for the past few days. I thought that the matter might have been exposed. So I had to turn myself in."

"The place where the accident happened was in the duty room of Ruyifang. He was on duty twice that night."

Shen Yu stared at the boss for a long time without saying a word, there was no superfluous expression on that simple face, as if he was talking about something that happened in his memory.

"Linshan, it seems that your surveillance ability is not good. An ordinary person like the boss has noticed it. Go back and get the punishment."

"Yes." Lin Shan didn't argue, it was meaningless for him to argue even if it was a lie, and what the boss meant was that he was ready to die.

Naturally, the duty room, bullock carts, arsenic and other things that committed crimes must all have traces of the boss's murder.

"Do you know Miss Miaoyin from Tianyin Pavilion? She said that when she gets tired of singing, she likes to have a bite of Chengxi Yangji's flower cake. She feels solid and warm."

The boss's face twitched twice, "I have sent flower cakes a few times, and Miss Miaoyin will always give more money."

"It's a pity that she died so badly. Does Boss Yang want to hear about it?"

"No need, good people have good rewards. If you don't live a good life in this life, you will be good in the next life."

"Linshan, take him back to the yamen and hand it over to your lord."

"Yes." Lin Shan led the people away.

Shen Yu looked at the piece of sky above Ruyifang's head, "Mr. Ruyi should visit him in the prison every day, after all, he is the one who ended the days when Ruyifang was closed."

"Master Shen said so."

"Mr. Ruyi, you know who those two people are and how they died. Don't think that everything will be fine if you find someone to cover the bag. It doesn't matter if you don't tell me now. I will keep investigating until I find the real culprit, and Ruyi Fang, it's best not to let me catch any more tricks, or I will let you get out of the capital forever."

"Master Shen, Xiaomin does business honestly, and it will be the same in the future. You are welcome to come and play with Master Shen at any time." Mr. Ruyi smiled at the door and watched Shen Yu leave, then turned back to the hall, and a man in gray came out , blurred.

"How did you come?"

"Don't be so alien, you and I are now our own masters, but we were friends who fought side by side before."

"If you are a friend, you won't bring the fire to me."

Chick, "You're playing with fire, aren't you? Ruyifang, Mingzhu Tower and Tianyin Pavilion are all managed by you alone? Aren't those secret scandals going to pass through your hands one day? Now accuse me of not being a villain and suing first ?"

"It's meaningless to say this now, where are the account books?"

"I didn't see it. Those two people gave an account book that had been embezzled. Our people didn't notice it for a while. It was only after the two of them died that they discovered the true and false."

"Do you think I'll believe it?"

"I don't believe you will ask the eldest prince to look for it?" Hahaha, the man in gray seems to be laughing at Mr. Ruyi's pretending to be stupid.

"Qingye, that account book is too dangerous, that's why I haven't handed it over to the master for a long time. Now its whereabouts are unknown, and it is likely to have fallen into the hands of a prince or an ambitious person. There will be trouble. And now Shen Yu has Keeping an eye on this place, sooner or later he will discover the secret of the account book."

"Isn't it better to make trouble, fish in troubled waters, let alone a small servant of the Ministry of punishment, can you turn over the sky? And I have tried his skills, and I can barely watch. Why, are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, Qingye, those two are relatives no matter what..."

"So what, as long as he can get revenge, I am willing to fall into the endless hell. I don't blame you if you are afraid to back down, but don't stop me, or I will kill you as well."

"Also, I will find the account book." The man in gray turned and left after speaking.

Mr. Ruyi stood with his hands behind his back, looked up at the little skylight above his head, and sighed.

"Sir, the First Prince is here."

Mr. Ruyi collected his expression and went to the door to welcome the First Prince. Xiao Yan walked into Ruyifang with his hands behind his back.

"The eldest prince's visit is not far away, and I hope you will forgive me."

"These hypocrisy can be avoided. The prince is here to tell you that I have found the murderer who killed those two little thieves."
