Ye Yanshan couldn't draw for a long time with a pen, so his brother urged him: "What are you waiting for?"

Xiao Ye said worriedly: "I haven't seen him open his eyes, I need to imagine a little." ”

Guan Tongsheng said, "I'll come." He reached out and grabbed the pen, and soon highly restored Zhang Mao lying on the corpse bed. He pushed the painting in front of the shopkeeper, "This is what he looks like when he is asleep, do you know?"

Brother Lian and Ye Yanshan couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths, and they looked at both sides together, pretending not to know Guan Shud.

The shopkeeper looked at the painting and laughed twice, would there be such a big wound on the neck of the person who was asleep? This is obviously dead, okay? Fortunately, the shopkeeper is also a person who has seen the world, and immediately ignores the life and death of the person in the painting, and only concentrates on looking at the face.

"Isn't this Mr. Shu? The villain recognizes it, and he always comes to taste the villain's craftsmanship several times a month. ”

Brother Lian asked, "Mr. Shu?"

"Yes, when the villain first saw him, he told the villain. ”

"Every time he comes alone or with friends. ”

"The villain is in the back kitchen most of the time, and this villain really doesn't remember. ”

The shopkeeper next to him said: "The villain remembers that sometimes alone, sometimes with his wife and son, comes into the private room upstairs, his son especially likes to eat steamed pork ribs, every time he must order." ”

Brother Lian was overjoyed, "Does Xiao Er know where his family lives?"

"You know, just in the past two streets and alleys, there is a three-entry courtyard, right next door to my uncle's house. ”

The three of them immediately got up, and Ye Yanshan stretched out his hand to pull the shopkeeper over, "Take us there." ”

*

The capital of the Great Calendar Dynasty is divided into three layers, the most central is the imperial city, and most of the Beijing officials within the three grades live here.

On the outer floor is the inner city, where most of the people are locals of the capital, where their families have lived for generations, and there are officials of great character who have been rewarded by the emperor to the mansion such as the Lian Di family. The inner city is the most prosperous and lively place in the entire capital, and the area is more than ten times larger than the imperial city.

Outside the inner city gate is the outer city, most of them are outsiders who stay in the capital, spontaneously gathered, and slowly more and more people built houses spontaneously, and became their own streets, so it looked much more chaotic than the inner city. The reason why the outer city is called the outer city is because there is no city gate, and beyond it is a vast crop field, similar to the suburbs at the junction of urban and rural areas.

The carriage quickly came to the door of a courtyard, and several people were stunned when they got out of the car, the gate was closed, and a few big words were pasted on the door: Jiwu for sale.

The shopkeeper said inexplicably: "A few days ago, I went to my uncle's house to play, and I saw his house buy a lot of food, and I thought that Mr. Shu was really generous, and he had to eat for a year to buy so many good things." ”

Brother Lian felt that this murder case became more and more strange the more she investigated, she asked Xiao Er to go back first, and said to Guan Tongsheng: "Zhang Mao must have a secret on his body, you can't wear this official robe, go to the car and change into big black clothes, let's go in and have a look." ”

Guan Tongsheng nodded, and quickly went to the car to change over.

Brother Lian walked to the door, knocked on the door, and after a while, he heard an old male voice from far and near: "Coming, coming." ”

The door opened, and an old man in a coarse gray coat appeared in the door, "Do you want to buy a house?"

Brother Lian nodded, pointed to Ye Yanshan and said, "Yes, my son-in-law wants to buy a house in the outer city," said and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "My wife can't accommodate the newly acquired little lady, you have to stay away, and if you can't see it, you won't be noisy." ”

The old man glanced at Ye Yanshan enviously, and Xiao Ye immediately straightened his chest cooperatively, looking like he needed to be happy in life.

Even his younger brother turned around and peeked at Ye Lingshan, and found that his chest actually had a group of wives and concubines, and his peerless bearing flashed, this guy really has a talent for acting, and he is smart, this case is over, I have to let Guan Shudud find a way to transfer him to the Criminal Department to work together.

The old man smiled and invited a few of them into the gate, except for the old man, only his wife was cleaning in the house. The flowers and plants in the courtyard are very lush, which shows that they are carefully cared for on weekdays. The house is full of large items, and the furniture is all mahogany. Looking at the floor again, I was really shocked, the floor tiles of the main house in the first three courtyards were all high-quality tiles fired by the Nanhuai brick kiln.

Nanhuai brick kiln is an official kiln for the palace to burn floor tiles, in addition to the palace floor tiles every year, the firing defects are supplied to the civilians, but the price is also three or four times that of the usual floor tiles.

Looking at the main building materials of the house, the use of excellent nanmu is also used.

Looking at the whole house, it feels like a big word.

"Old man, the things you use in this house are all good things, and you get a lot of money, right?"

The old man said: "The original owner said, it doesn't matter how much money you have, if you like it, you have a fate, just four thousand taels of silver." ”

"Then you can earn it when you buy it, I don't know what the original owner did for a living? Such a good house is only sold for 4,000 taels, it can't be something unclean, right?"

The old man suddenly said angrily: "The master can't talk nonsense, my master died suddenly of a heart disease, and the master mother followed the will, and the soul was returned to her hometown, and everything in the house was sold cheaply, and nothing was left." ”

"I don't know what the original owner's surname is?"

"Alas, my master's surname is Shu, his name is Shu Mao, and he is in the cotton, cloth, and garment business. What a good person, and generous to the people, the old man has only been here for a year, and the housewife has given 100 taels of silver severance pay. ”

"What about the other people, when did they disperse, and where did they go?"

"Early yesterday morning, more than 20 people were in the front yard, and as soon as the housekeeper sent the money, it was immediately dispersed, and the old man did not know where it went. ”
