After clearing away the onlookers, Di Xue took Han Shu and Zhang Ying back to Dali Temple.
Looking at the female corpse on the stage, Di Xue sorted out what she had learned from the scene.
The female corpse is called Chunying, she is about the same age as Zhao Yufeng, and she is Zhao Yufeng's personal maid. There are not many servants in the Zhao family, so she takes care of a lot of things.
In ordinary days, she is responsible for the purchasing of the Zhao family. In addition, she also provides Zhao Yufeng with food, clothing and daily life, so it can be said that she is someone the Zhao family cannot do without.
Di Xue checked the female body and found that there were no traces of water in her lungs, which proved that she died when she was pushed into the water.
The skin of the female corpse was not particularly foamy. Di Xue judged that the time of her death was this morning.
A wound was found behind her head, and it seemed that something heavy had hit her head, causing her death.
After examining the body, Di Xue fell into deep thought. She would not believe it if Zhao Yufeng had no connection with Chunying's death.
However, the Zhao Mansion was very strange. Chunying disappeared in the Zhao Mansion for a day, but no one was looking for her. It was possible that she was an ordinary maid, but it was impossible for her.
Just as Di Xue was thinking, Chu Ran knocked on the door and walked in.
Seeing one more corpse, he looked helpless:
"How come I haven't left long enough and there's one more corpse!"
Di Xue also smiled helplessly. After explaining what happened to Chu Ran, Chu Ran nodded and said that he already knew what the poison Zhao Yufeng was.
"There is a cloud in the ancient book that flesh and blood are all mundane things. Take three qian from Xuerong and two qian from Diman, and then add Yuan Shui. After mixing, the flesh and blood can be dissolved into mundane world. The face will be like a peach, and the body will be weak and boneless."
After Chu Ran finished speaking, Di Xue asked: "What is the name of this poison?"
"Man Rong Powder, this is the poison that Zhao Yufeng was poisoned with."
After Chu Ran finished speaking, Di Xue nodded: "But this snowmelt flower is extremely rare, and Diman is also very rare. How did the poisoner get it?"
"I wonder if you have ever heard of Wanbaozhai?"
After Chu Ran finished speaking, Di Xue returned: "You mean, Wanbaozhai has this poison?"
"Wanbaozhai collects all the treasures in the world. I heard that they auctioned a bottle of Manrong Powder a few days ago. The price was extremely high, and the buyer was not an ordinary person."
"Looks like we have to take a trip."
Di Xue and Chu Ran agreed, so in the evening, they disguised themselves and went to Wanbaozhai.
Wanbaozhai is not located in the central and prosperous location of Yuanjing, but rather in the more remote north.
There are relatively few people on the street, mostly workshops dyeing, weaving, and making paper.
But after Di Xue walked in, she saw Wanbaozhai at a glance.
Because it is the only four-story building in the surrounding area, the building is entirely made of dark red wood.
Solemn and quaint, it seems to have been here for a long time.
When Di Xue and Chu Ran arrived at the door, they were stopped by the boy:
"Boy, there is an auction in Wanbaozhai today, so you can't enter without a token."
After hearing this, Chu Ran took out two wooden tokens embedded with gold and handed them to the young man. After seeing them, the young man quickly introduced the two of them into the building politely.
The building was brightly lit, and there were tens of thousands of boxes surrounding the first floor. Did anyone come to unlock the box and retrieve it?
The boy led Di Xue and Chu Ran to the person in charge downstairs, and then said:
"These two are the ones holding the golden token!"
"You two?" The steward was a little confused, but still looked at Chu Ran and Di Xue, and then returned:
"Two distinguished guests, as far as I know, only one golden token from Wanbaozhai has been issued. I'm afraid one of you two is fake!"
After the steward finished speaking, he took the two gold-lettered tokens and compared them carefully, then kept saying, "It's weird!"
"You two, this golden token is the unique engraving technology of my Wanbaozhai. Now I can't tell the authenticity of your tokens, so I can only ask the shopkeeper for instructions!"
After the steward finished speaking, he went upstairs.
Di Xue asked Chu Ran in a low voice: "Where did you get the two tokens?"
"I took one from my father, and the other was imitated by myself. I didn't know there was only one gold token!"
After Chu Ran finished speaking, Di Xue was filled with admiration. This handicraft was really fake. No wonder the toolbox was so easy to use.
As soon as Di Xue finished asking, she heard a pleasant female voice from upstairs:
"Bring them both here!"
Upon hearing this, the steward quickly said to Di Xue and the others:
"Two distinguished guests, I will take you to see the shopkeeper right now. If you have any questions, you can ask them."
Di Xue and the other two followed the steward up to the second floor, and saw that most of the doors on the second floor were locked.
"This is the second-class treasure of my Wanbaozhai. Generally, only distinguished customers with copper-character tokens are allowed to purchase it!"
After the steward finished speaking, he led the two of them to the door of a room in the corner.
I saw him knocking on the door respectfully and saying: "My boss, I've brought you here!"
"Come in!" The sweet female voice sounded again.
After receiving the agreement, the steward opened the door and Di Xue looked inside.
I saw a beautiful woman in red lying casually on a soft seat in the room. This person was Lin Yuling, the shopkeeper of Wanbaozhai.
She was probably in her early thirties, but Di Xue wasn't sure because she couldn't accurately judge her age.
Her face is as delicate as a flower, and her temperament is as gorgeous as a red peony. Sitting there is casual and natural, but people can't take their eyes away.
She was tall and tall, and the fragrance of orchid spread out from her hands. For a moment, people forgot where they were deep in themselves, and could only see the beauty in front of them.
"Bring your two tokens and take a look!" Lin Yuling said.
The steward quickly handed over the token. Lin Yuling looked at it for a while and said, "Your counterfeiting skills are indeed good, but you shouldn't cheat me, Wanbaozhai. This token has never been seen in front of others. How did you counterfeit it? Who gave it to you?"
Chu Ran did not panic, but stepped forward and said: "I have met the shopkeeper, Chu Ran. This token was given by my father, Prince Heng Chu Heng. My father said that this token can be exchanged for news about Wanbaozhai. "
After Chu Ran finished speaking, Lin Yuling seemed to be talking to herself: "No wonder, I just said how could they be so similar."
But she seemed to have returned to normal and asked: "What questions do you want to ask?"
"We want to know who was the buyer of Man Rong San the day before yesterday!"
Di Xue stepped forward and returned.
"So that's what happened, but you have to think about it and take it back after using it! Or the person who gave you the token has thought about it!"
After Lin Yuling finished speaking, her eyes couldn't help but darken, and her eyes seemed to be filled with anticipation.
Chu Ran nodded:
"When my father gave me this token, he said that you could help me. He said that the token is a dead lump, but the person is alive. Although he hasn't seen you for a long time, he still thinks of you as an old friend, so even if you order Once the card is used, you can visit me at any time, or my father can come here."
Lin Yuling couldn't help but chuckle after hearing Chu Ran's words: "Old friend? He thinks beautifully."
After saying that, she changed her attitude and said very coldly: "In that case, I can tell you the answer to your question, but after you know the answer, you two go back and tell him not to step into the gate of my Wanbaozhai!"
