Wen Zhi entered the government office's recording room, but April was blocked from outside.
"Should I honor the new lady or the Wen Shaodong family?" The person who came was the head catcher just now, followed by a clerk with a pen in his hand.
Wen Zhi saluted, "It's just a title, the officer can do as he pleases."
"Then let's call you Young Master!" There is only one girl in the Wen family, and she has always been called this way before. "My name is Gao Xu, and I am the head catcher of the government office. This is why I invited you and Miss Xiao here."
As he spoke, he took out a rouge box from his sleeve.
"From Rouge Tower?" Wen Zhi was startled, "What's going on?"
Gao Xu said, "So, this is indeed from Rouge Tower?"
Wen Zhi reached out and picked it up, verified it carefully, and then nodded cautiously, "Yes!"
"Last night, there was a murder case outside the city. This thing fell beside the deceased, so we invited Shopkeeper Liu from Rouge House to come over. In order to verify the authenticity again and again, we bothered the young master to follow him." Gao Xu explained.
Wen Zhi suddenly felt that the box in his palm was extremely hot, "Kill, kill? What does this have to do with Shopkeeper Liu?"
"This thing came from Rouge Tower. What if shopkeeper Liu has seen the murderer?" Gao Xu looked at the pale complexion, "Don't be nervous, Shaodong family. We are just summoning all the people who may be involved in the case to the government office for questioning one by one. No other meaning."
Wen Zhi nodded and looked at the rouge box in his hand, "This is not a recent one. It is branded on it. It should be from a month ago. It looks like there is no wear and tear inside. It should not be a personal belonging."
If it is a portable item, it must be used daily, and the fat inside must have been lost.
"A month ago?" Gao Xu reached out and took it, and sure enough he saw a stamp on the bottom of the box.
Wen Zhi hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper Liu should have a directory for buying rouge. As long as the official investigates carefully, he will probably provide some clues. As for shopkeeper Liu, he has always been kind and honest, so he must have nothing to do with this matter."
"That's what I said, but we can't let him go until we are sure that this matter has nothing to do with him." Gao Xu put away the rouge box.
Wen Zhi was a little embarrassed, "Can you please not notify Shopkeeper Liu's family for now? Shopkeeper Liu's mother is not in good health and can't bear the stimulation."
Gao Xu was stunned for a moment, then nodded knowingly, "Okay!"
Speaking of which, Shopkeeper Liu was kind to Wen Zhi. When the carriage went out of control, Shopkeeper Liu rushed up and hugged her. As a result, his leg was broken by a horse's hoof, and he was now lame.
Therefore, Wen Zhi could not sit idly by.
"By the way, Xiao Zi..." Wen Zhi asked hurriedly.
Gao Xu smiled meaningfully, "I was taken back by the Xiao family a long time ago."
Wen Zhi: "..."
Therefore, she is not considered a member of the Xiao family.
After a long while, Wen Zhi asked again, "Can I see Shopkeeper Liu?"
"No!" Gao Xu shook his head and refused.
Wen Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and he obviously realized that something was wrong. This was not like an ordinary inquiry. I'm afraid they had some other evidence, so...
Seeing their young lady coming out of the recording room, April and Uncle Chen hurriedly greeted her.
"Miss?"
"Is Miss okay?"
Wen Zhi shook his head, "Uncle Chen, please go and ask, what happened in Rouge Tower?"
"Yes!" Uncle Chen immediately saluted and left.
April Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay. Just now, my new aunt...that man entered the government office and took the Xiao family away without even asking you a question. It's really annoying."
"Xiao Changling is here?" Wen Zhi asked.
April looked angry.
"There is a problem in Rouge Tower. They are afraid that I will bring trouble to the Xiao family." Wen Zhi still doesn't know the nature of those people. "They are a bunch of villains who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages!"
"That's unreasonable!" April stamped her feet angrily.
Suddenly there was a "meow" and a cat jumped down from the wall, frightening Wen Zhi to the point where he almost jumped.
But I heard the instigator actually laughed out loud, and slowly walked out of the corner, looking carefree, like a playboy, "I've heard all the bad things about the Xiao family behind their backs, sister..."
When he called her sister, Wen Zhi felt the hairs all over his body stand on end.
Wen Zhi took a breath, "Why are you here?"
