After being reborn, she became the richest man without being a queen

Chapter 174 Third Uncle
After the shopkeeper of the bookstore sold the books to Shen Qingling and Ren Shaochun, he enthusiastically asked them to sit down and drink tea.

Since they want to drink tea, they will inevitably chat.

While chatting, we talked about the person who came to buy used books a month ago.

The shopkeeper recalled it carefully for a long time, and said: "The man should have worn a mask, mainly because he is old and I can't remember his appearance clearly. From this inference, he must have covered his face at that time."

"Since he came to the door with a mask on, it must be a little weird. Can the shopkeeper remember something else? Such a strange person, the shopkeeper will definitely not forget such a strange person if he thinks about it." Shen Qingling said with a smile.

Holding the teacup, Ren Shaochun recalled what the shopkeeper of Wenshi Pavilion said in his mind, and began to think about it by himself.

"It seems to be a little lame." The shopkeeper tilted his head to recall for a long time, and said hesitantly: "The old man can't remember clearly, after all, it has been too long, and he came and walked quickly at that time. The old man vaguely remembers that his legs are not good. It was so neat, I even tripped over the door of the old man's shop."

With that said, the shopkeeper pointed to the slightly high threshold at the door.

Then, as if he remembered something, he got up suddenly and walked quickly to the counter.

After searching for a while, he found a wooden box, walked back holding it, and said to Shen Qingling and Xue Yu: "This is left by the customer who came to buy books a few days ago. I almost forgot if I didn't mention it just now. Since that day, the old man has been keeping it, thinking that one day when the guest comes back, the old man can return it to him.”

What is it?
Shen Qingling sat up straight curiously, and looked at the wooden box with her head.

The shopkeeper opened the wooden box, handed it to Shen Qingling, and said: "It's a ring, it is expensive and valuable at first glance, so this old man dare not keep it private, and keep it properly."

Seeing the ring, Ren Shaochun's face suddenly darkened.

"This belongs to an acquaintance of mine, please give it to the shopkeeper." Ren Shaochun stood up abruptly, and stretched out his hand in front of the shopkeeper, "If the shopkeeper doesn't believe it, you can take it out and have a look. There should be two words in the inner circle, one three and one dao .”

As Ren Shaochun said, the shopkeeper carefully took out the ring, looked at the oil lamp, and saw two words engraved on the inner ring.

It is the Tao of Sanhe.

"It turned out to be something belonging to Mr. Ren Sanlang's acquaintance, so it's just a matter of entrusting Mr. Ren Sanlang to return it to the original owner." The shopkeeper quickly put the ring back, closed the box and handed it to Ren Shaochun.

"Well, I will return it to him, thank you shopkeeper." After Ren Shaochun said this, he hurriedly pulled Shen Qingling out.

Shen Qingling felt strange, but she didn't say much after all, she just took out a piece of silver from her bosom before leaving, threw it to the shopkeeper, and said: "Thank you for your help, shopkeeper, I don't need to give change."

Not long after the two left the bookstore, they walked into a secluded box.

"You don't need to go to the third one, it should be this one." Ren Shaochun took out the ring and said, "The military general he mentioned is Liu Yongdao, the general judge of Wuzhou, and my mother's third brother. This ring is a token of the Liu family in Yanzhou. The man Jade rings for women, and jade earrings for women."

"You didn't even look at it just now, you knew it belonged to Liu Yongdao." Shen Qingling took the ring from Ren Shaochun's hand, and looked at it against the moonlight.

"Because my mother has only one elder brother left." Ren Shaochun's face was extremely ugly, "The Liu family rule, the token of death is buried in the ground, so the ring that can still be seen outside can only be my third uncle's Liu Yongdao."

"So you guess, your third uncle received a letter from the villain? Come here to collect evidence?" Shen Qingling frowned and asked.

Ren Shaochun scratched his head, and said distressedly: "I don't know, but my third uncle will definitely not appear in Yangzhou for no reason, and come to buy used books by such a coincidence."

Right now, as long as Liu Yongdao is found, it seems that the mystery behind the serial murder case can be solved.

"In this way, you go home first, notify your mother and father, and find someone quickly." Shen Qingling returned the ring to Ren Shaochun, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't worry, maybe it's really just a coincidence. "

But where are there so many coincidences?

In particular, the murderer of this serial murder case was one who specialized in murdering court officials.

The two parted ways and walked out of the alley.

Shen Qingling hurried back home to arrange the next day's affairs so that she could spare time, while Ren Shaochun went to the government office first, called his father, and went home together, intending to tell his mother about it.

When Mrs. Ren heard this, she was very anxious, and hurriedly said: "I will write to your third uncle right away."

"I have sent people to search inside and outside Yangzhou City. If Yongdao is still around here, I will definitely find it." Ren Bingyi put Mrs. Ren in his arms, and softly persuaded: "You can't rush, your body is just better, and if there is a problem in a hurry Come on, what should I do?"

"There is an old Liu family's winter house outside the city, you go and look for it." Mrs. Ren thought of something, and grabbed Ren Bingyi's sleeve, "He is not the kind of person who left the territory without authorization, something must have happened. He only came to Yangzhou for a big event...but he didn't even come to me...could it be that something happened and he was worried about implicating me?"

"Yongdao is an official of the imperial court. Who has the guts to touch him? Don't worry, don't worry, nothing will happen." Ren Bingyi didn't dare to talk about the serial murders that have been rumored outside recently, and just kept rushing at his son. With a wink, he turned around and took Mrs. Ren back to the house.

In any case, the first thing to do is to find Liu Yongdao.

The next day, in the early morning, Ren Shaochun sent someone to notify Shen Qingling that he had found Liu Yongdao.

When Shen Qingling went to this Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Yangzhou City to have a look, he found that Liu Yongdao was dead, still hanging on the beam as usual, as for Liu Yongdao's wife and children, it would depend on how the people sent to Wuzhou reported.

The officials carefully unloaded Liu Yongdao's body from the beam.

The body was settled.

Shen Qingling found that Liu Yongdao's corpse was obviously different from other corpses.

The other corpses only had a bruise on the hanging beam, but there was a palm print on Liu Yongdao's neck.

Why are there palm prints?
Judging from the direction of the palm print, this person should be facing Liu Yongdao, and clasped his palm on Liu Yongdao's neck.

"Wu Zuo will be there in a while, let Wu Zuo open the inspection." Ren Bingyi sighed, and walked out of the bedroom with Shen Qingling, walked to the center of the courtyard, and said: "When I came here, the courtyard door was wide open, but this place is remote, so Even if someone died, no one passed by, so go in and check."

The three brothers of the Ren family squatted in the corner, not in a good mood.

It was past noon, and Wu Zuo's autopsy showed that he died of suffocation. There were no other wounds on his body, and the severity of the palm prints was not fatal, so the final cause was still hanging.

Same as those previous cases.

The existence of the palm print only shows that Liu Yongdao had a dispute with someone before his death, which caused the man to violently choke Liu Yongdao.
