"But what happened to my Rouge Pavilion that brought Lord Zhai here?"

The woman said, in fact, there was a bit of inquiry.

"I really want to ask Shopkeeper Zhan about something."

Zhai Yeqian said lightly, but did not show half of his thoughts.

Shopkeeper Zhan's eyes flashed for a moment, and then he pursed his lips and smiled, "Lord Zhai has found something, right?" ”

Zhai Yeqian couldn't deny it, and took out the Dongzhu that had been put away by himself before from his body.

"This ......"

After the shopkeeper Zhan saw Zhai Yeqian take out the Dongzhu from his body, his face suddenly changed slightly.

Zhai Yeqian quietly took in the change in the expression of the shopkeeper Zhan, "I want to ask the shopkeeper Zhan if he still remembers who he sold this Dongzhu to?" ”

The more high-end the things in Rouge Pavilion, the more they will highlight their unique attributes, not only because of the different identities of customers, different marks will be made on things, but also because customers will never produce that thing after buying it, so as to ensure that the things in the hands of customers are unique.

Even if the customer's belongings are lost in the future, there will be a basis for trying to find them.

When Zhai Yeqian took out Dongzhu, the shopkeeper Zhan recognized it at a glance as something in his store, but she didn't remember who this thing was sold to.

Zhai Yeqian had been paying attention to the change in the look of the shopkeeper Zhan, knowing that she recognized this as something in her Rouge Pavilion, "I also hope that the shopkeeper Zhan will take a good look, this Dongzhu hairpin is very involved." ”

The shopkeeper Zhan heard the words and recalled it seriously, but time has passed too long, there are people who come in and out of her Rouge Pavilion every day, and the most important thing in the capital is the rich people, although her Rouge Pavilion things are expensive, but there is no shortage of buyers, although she has an amazing memory, she can't remember who this Dongzhu sold to in the end.

"Someone, bring me my record book."

Every thing sold in the Rouge Pavilion would be recorded in the book, although she didn't think about it for a while, but after reading the booklet, she knew who bought it.

The second child in the store listened to the instructions of the shopkeeper Zhan, and immediately went down to look for the booklet, but in the blink of an eye, he had already picked up the booklet.

Checking the booklet, the shopkeeper Zhan looked at the marks on the hairpin, and finally found a person, "It should be this one." As he spoke, he pointed to Du Yanwan and Zhai Yeqi.

"Li Wan'er? The girl of the Li family? ”

The Li family is a well-known wealthy merchant family in the capital, and it is not surprising that they can afford Dongzhu, but how could the original owner, Shen Lian, have anything to do with the Li family? It looks like we have to go to Li's house.

Du Yanwan thought about it, so he glanced at Zhai Yeqi, and after saying goodbye to the shopkeeper Zhan, the two left.

Lee House.

The decoration of the entire mansion is exquisite and luxurious, compared with the solemnity of the Shen Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion, there is a touch of merchant extravagance, and as soon as the subordinates of the Li Mansion heard that General Zhai was coming, they immediately returned to the mansion to report the news.

I can't figure out why Zhai Mansion has a relationship with the people in the government? The other party is still the famous General Zhai, the emperor's cronies!

As soon as Master Li heard that Zhai Yeqi was coming, he hurriedly ran out to greet him, he was a generation of wealthy businessmen, but the status of businessmen has always been low, and he is looked down upon, and now that an official family has come to his house, he naturally wants to entertain him well.

After understanding the intentions of Zhai Yeqian and Du Yanwan, Master Li's face showed a little regret, "You are talking about my little daughter, unfortunately she died of illness two days ago." ”

Master Li said with a little sadness on his face, his little daughter has been sick since she was born, he was carefully raised to a teenager, and he was about to leave the cabinet, but he didn't expect her to suddenly die of a vicious illness.

"Miss Li, she died?" Du Yanwan couldn't help but say loudly.

caused Master Li to look at Du Yanwan, and Du Yanwan smiled awkwardly after realizing that he had said the wrong thing, "I just feel a little surprised." ”

This said to Master Li's sadness, "Who said it wasn't, my daughter has been weak since she was a child, and I almost raised her in the palm of my hand, just because I was afraid that she would have an accident one day, but I didn't expect that I would take precautions, and my daughter still suddenly died of a vicious illness!" ”

He sighed as he spoke.

Du Yanwan and Zhai Yeyan glanced at each other, and saw that Master Li didn't seem to be lying, he really loved his daughter, and his daughter's death also hit him hard.

"Master Li, I have a reluctant invitation below."

Hearing this, Master Li temporarily withdrew from the grief of losing his daughter, "Lord Zhai, please speak." ”

"I wonder if Master Li ever suspected that Ling Yan's death might not be a sudden illness, but man-made?"

"How could such a thing happen?"

Master Li's face showed disbelief, "Who will frame my daughter?" ”

"I want to see Miss Li's corpse, I don't know if it is inconvenient for Master Li?"

Master Li had a little hesitation on his face when he heard this, a woman's reputation has always been very important, even if his daughter is dead, he can't let a foreign man go to see his daughter, ruining his daughter's reputation after her death!

As soon as Du Yanwan saw Master Li's expression, he knew what he was thinking, "Master Li, your daughter is likely to have been killed, don't you want to avenge your daughter and let her die in vain?" ”

Master Li was a little moved by Du Yanwan's words.

"And you can go over and watch, with so many people here, will Miss Li's reputation still be ruined?"

Du Yan saw that Master Li was moved, and immediately said again.

Hearing that Master Li was completely moved, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "I'll take you to see it!" ”

His daughter's body is still in the mourning hall, look at what, how many people are here, and can anyone smear his daughter's reputation?

The group soon came to the front of the mourning hall, the mourning hall was hung with white sails all around, and there were a few maids in white clothes standing around, crying one by one so that their eyes and noses were red, and the maids bent down to salute after seeing Master Li, and Master Li asked people to get up, and then said the identity of Zhai Yeqi, and explained the intention of Zhai Yeqi and Du Yanwan.

"Lord Zhai, my daughter's body is right in front, go and take a look."

Saying that, he had already led Zhai Yeqian and Du Yanwan over.

Du Yanwan glanced into the coffin, and saw that the woman's eyes were closed, her face was serene, and she looked as if she was asleep, and there was almost no problem with her appearance.

Zhai Yeqi's gaze swept around Li Wan'er's body, and then turned to Master Li and asked, "Master Li, do you mind if I do an autopsy?" ”

As soon as Master Li heard that Zhai Yeqian was going to conduct an autopsy, his face suddenly changed, and he agreed to take a look at her dead daughter, he could reluctantly agree, but to conduct an autopsy and cut open his daughter's body, he couldn't accept it!

"Lord Zhai, forget about this autopsy, my daughter has passed away, I want to leave her a quiet place." In the end, it was because of Zhai Yeqi's identity, Master Li was polite when he spoke.

I had long expected that this would be such a situation, and there was not the slightest surprise in Zhai Yeqi's eyes.

Du Yanwan can also understand, after all, in ancient times, he has always advocated remarks such as what the body hair and skin are affected by parents and cannot be easily damaged.

But this problem arises in Li Wan'er, if the coffin is not opened for an autopsy, how can we know why she died?

But if people don't agree, you can't always hold a knife on someone's neck and force them to agree, right?

Silently glanced at Zhai Yeqi, Zhai Yeqian lowered his eyelids slightly, and said to Master Li: "In this way, I still have something to ask Master Li in the future." ”

"Lord Zhai, please speak." Seeing that Zhai Yeyan had not examined his daughter's body, Master Li's attitude changed slightly.

Zhai Yeqian took out the Dongzhu hairpin from his body, "This is Miss Li's thing?" As he spoke, he handed the hairpin to Master Li.

"This ......" After Master Li saw the Dongzhu hairpin, a trace of doubt flashed on his face, but he still took the hairpin and observed it carefully.

Because he feels sorry for his daughter and knows that his daughter is weak, he loves his daughter very much, and he will buy any valuable jewelry almost without blinking his eyes. There are so many expensive jewelry in his daughter that he can't recognize it at all, whether the east pearl hairpin in front of him is his daughter's.

Just as Master Li was thinking about the maid beside him, he said in surprise: "This hairpin is similar to Miss's one!" ”

Hearing this, several people couldn't help but look at the little maid.

The little maid is Li Wan'er's personal maid, and she is dressed in white at the moment, and her eyes are crying red.

"Do you recognize this hairpin?" As he spoke, Master Li handed over the hairpin in his hand to the little maid for identification.

The little maid took it and looked at it, then shook her head, "Although this one is similar to Miss's, it is not Miss's, and the pattern on Miss's hairpin is a lotus flower, not a chrysanthemum." As he spoke, he pointed to Du Yanwan and Zhai Yeqian on the inside of the hairpin.

It's a very hidden place, and it's rarely found by the average person.

"Not your young lady's?"

So is Boss Zhan lying?

But looking at Boss Zhan just now, it didn't look like she was lying at all, could it be that someone had done something to her booklet?

"This hairpin is indeed not our lady's, our young lady's favorite is this hairpin slave maid, how can I remember it wrong? If you don't believe it, the slave will bring the young lady's hairpin! ”

"In that case, why don't you go!"

"No."

Because Li Wan'er's favorite was this hairpin before her death, she stayed but was buried, and now it is placed in the coffin, and the little maid whispered an offended word, and took out a similar hairpin from the coffin.

Du Yanwan and Zhai Yeqian looked at it, it was indeed as the little maid said, a small lotus flower was carved on the inside, it seemed that the one in their hands was really not Li Wan'er's.

"That being the case, I disturbed Master Li."

Du Yanwan wanted to see what she had discovered, but Zhai Yeqian had already said goodbye, so she could only reluctantly follow behind Zhai Yewan.
