Mrs. Prime Minister

Chapter 300 Who Dare To Touch Her (9)
But under such circumstances, some people are the busiest.

Zheng Jiuru, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, went to Lanyue Tower to inquire about Quyi's assassination of Fang Ren's son.The customers who can go to Lanyue Tower to consume are all famous and famous figures in the capital, and the shopkeeper has records of their coming to the building.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs investigated the case himself, and the shopkeeper naturally handed over the records with both hands, and Zheng Jiuru asked the people who came to the building that day one by one according to the situation of that day.But just as Jun Aozhi guessed, those noble people were not shrewd people, they didn't help each other, as if they were afraid of taking responsibility, no matter how Zheng Jiuru asked, they evaded and evaded not knowing.

Zheng Jiuru was also very helpless, so he had to ask the shopkeeper.

Because Fang Ren's son died here at Lanyue Tower, the guests were also affected, and the business was not as good as before.

In the second year of junior high school, it was even clearer and colder. Zheng Jiuru stood in a blue dress. Although he was in his forties, his face was clear and handsome, and he looked very gentle and harmless.

"Shopkeeper, you come to the building every day to take care of the business in the building. I don't know if you have seen the day when General Qu stabbed Master Fang's only son to death?" It stands to reason that if there is a dispute in the building, the waiter will definitely be the first Time to notify the shopkeeper to deal with it.

The shopkeeper was in his 40s, dressed in light-colored clothes, with a round face like a Maitreya Buddha, and a very kind smile made him look very kind.

Hearing Zheng Jiuru's question, his eyes flickered.

"Master Zheng, Mr. Fang was killed before the Caomin arrived that day. The Caomin really didn't know the exact process."

"Then the little girl in your building should know too?"

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed again, he looked around, approached Zheng Jiuru, and whispered in his ear with a bitter face, "Master Zheng, to tell you the truth, the grassroots know about this, but you also You know, Mr. Fang is the nephew of the concubine Xian, and General Naqu is a celebrity around the Fifth Highness. No matter which grassroots person he is, he really can't afford to offend him. So even if the grassroots knew the whole story, it was absolutely impossible to go For whom did you testify?"

Zheng Jiuru understood the shopkeeper's mood very well, but he was still a little displeased. He frowned and said, "Shopkeeper, no one dared to hide what happened at the emperor's feet, let alone this case was investigated by His Majesty himself. Conceal it, if it reaches His Majesty's ears, you don't have to wait for His Majesty the Fifth Highness and Concubine Xian to trouble you, His Majesty will let you go home to retire with a decree, so the shopkeeper should weigh it carefully before answering."

The shopkeeper's forehead gradually seeped cold sweat, and he said in surprise, "Did His Majesty ordered the investigation?"

Zheng Jiuru nodded sullenly.

The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat off his head with his sleeve, a gust of cold wind blew from the door, he couldn't help shivering, his complexion changed erratically, and his expression was very complicated.

Zheng Jiuru didn't bother him either, let him think clearly.

After a while, the shopkeeper finally gritted his teeth, "Okay, if you testify, you will testify. Although the grassroots are just grassroots, I don't want someone to die wronged."

Zheng Jiuru frowned.

"Master Zheng, to tell you the truth, the Caomin witnessed the whole thing happen that day. On that day, Mr. Fang and Mr. Qu came to drink in the Caomin building. Mr. Fang and Mr. Qu didn't meet at first, but later the two came from the private room. After Li came out, they met by coincidence. Cao Min saw that Mr. Fang and General Qu looked very unsightly, and was afraid that they would start arguing, so he planned to persuade him. Young Master Fang whispered something in General Qu's ear, General Qu's expression changed immediately, he drew his sword and stabbed Young Master Fang to death."

"Is there anyone else present?"

"Yes." The shopkeeper whispered, "Several friends of Mr. Fang and a person brought by General Qu are at the side."

"Who did Mr. Fang bring?"

The shopkeeper whispered a few names.

Zheng Jiuru asked, "Who is the person brought by General Naqu?"

The shopkeeper frowned when he heard this, "Cao Min doesn't know either."

The person who took a pen to record what the shopkeeper said couldn't help but paused, Zheng Jiuru also frowned, "Does the shopkeeper really not recognize that person?" There was obvious disbelief in his tone.

Lanyue Tower is the largest restaurant in the capital, and the guests who come to consume in the building are all royal family and nobles in the capital. It can be said that the guests who come to consume in Lanyue Tower are all old customers.And the shopkeeper has also stayed in Lanyue Building for many years, and his knowledge is also very broad.How could it be possible to have no impression of the people in the building at all.

"Caomin will never dare to lie to Mr. Zheng." Hearing the chill in Zheng Jiuru's words, the shopkeeper couldn't help but quickly defend himself, "Caomin has been the shopkeeper in Lanyuelou for almost ten years. Since Lanyue Since the establishment of the building, it can be said that there are no guests in this building who are not familiar with Caomin. Caomin has no other advantages, but they have the ability to remember people. As long as they have met people once, they can call out their names, but they must have an impression. .”

"... But the man Cao Min who came to the building with Mr. Qu that day must have never seen him before, and..." He hesitated, as if he didn't know whether to say it or not.

Zheng Jiuru immediately asked, "And what?"

Recalling the scene of that day, the shopkeeper hesitated, "...and that person is quite strange..."

"What a strange method."

"Master Zheng should also know that the food and drinks in our Lanyue Building are top-grade, and a meal can cost ordinary people ten years, so most of the people who come to Lanyue Building to spend are young people who are well-dressed. It’s just that the ministers of the DPRK and China occasionally come here when they have banquets.”

Zheng Jiuru nodded, "So what?"

"But the man who came with General Qu that day was dressed in linen clothes, a hemp-colored cloak, and even a hat that was covered tightly. It seems that even a small family in the capital would not be so careless about his clothes. , it really doesn't look like a guest who can enter the building to eat, but Cao Min saw that it was the guest brought by Mr. Qu, so he didn't dare to say anything more."

"Where did that person go after that?"

"Huh?" The shopkeeper looked surprised, slammed the table suddenly, and suddenly realized, "Sir, don't you say that the grass man has not remembered that when the chaos happened, the man was no longer there, and even the grass man who left when he left None noticed."

Zheng Jiuru felt that something was really wrong.

He stood on the spot and thought for a while, tapped the table lightly with his finger bones, and stopped for a while, "Do you still have an impression of that man's facial features?"

"Because the man's attire is strange, Cao Min paid special attention to the man's appearance. He looks very ordinary, but his figure is quite burly, with a high nose bridge and slightly deep eye sockets. He doesn't look like a person from Dayuan. "
