The Rebirth of the First Daughter as the Head of the Family

Chapter 171
The carriage stopped in front of the City Patroller's gate, but Song Jinyue hadn't gotten out of the carriage yet.

Then I heard the officer come forward and say to Qin Sheng: "Master Qin, today's case is not open to the public."

Song Jinyue lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw the official glance at the carriage.

The meaning couldn't be more clear. Qin Sheng has an official position and was appointed by the emperor, so he can go in to interrogate today's case together, but if he is an irrelevant bystander, he can't go in.

"The person in the carriage is Princess Ronghua. It is related to today's case. Please go in and pass it on to Lord Du."

Qin Sheng met Song Jinyue's eyes and understood that she wanted to go in and have a look today.

The officer heard Qin Sheng talk about who was in the carriage, so he retreated and went to discuss with the adults.

Not long after, the official came out from the inside, raised his hand and respectfully invited the two of them in, but they didn't ask them to bring their servants in.

Entering the yamen, I saw Mrs. Song, Chunchan and Yun Xing kneeling and lying down.

Master Du ordered the officer to move a chair to his side, invited Qin Sheng to take the seat, and then ordered the officer to move the chair to the side of the yamen, and raised his hand to signal Song Jinyue to sit down and talk.

When passing Mrs. Song, Song Jinyue took a good look.

I haven't seen her for a few days, but Mrs. Song's stature has lost a little, the clothes that used to fit her look loose and baggy, and her complexion is not as good as before.

His expression was gloomy with a bit of gray defeat.

Song Jinyue already knew the confessions of the old lady, Chunchan and Yunxing.

Come here today, just to see how far the case has progressed.

Regarding the Shen family who was confessed by several people, Master Du looked at Song Jinyue with temptation in his eyes.

Song Jinyue turned her eyes lightly, with a gesture of indifference and nothing to do with me.

Master Du didn't want to rashly call Mrs. Shen to inspect the city, after all, the matter of the brocade cloth for the witchcraft doll hadn't made any progress yet.

"Go and bring Manager Li of Yong'an Pawnshop for questioning."

"Yes."

After thinking about it, Mrs. Du decided to arrest shopkeeper Li first and then look at it.

The officials of the City Patrol Division went to Yong'an's pawn shop in a mighty manner, and naturally they also brought a seal.

After all, the poison has now been confirmed by personal and physical evidence, and it was taken from the treasurer Li of the Yongan pawnshop, and the poison came from Beiguo.

A spy name can kill shopkeeper Li.

It's just that he never expected that the official mission of the City Patrol Division returned without success.

The Yong'an pawnshop has already closed today, and the pawnshop has long been empty.

When Song Jinyue heard the news, she was shocked. The news about shopkeeper Li was so magical?
She sent Chun Chan and Yun Xing to the City Patrol Secretary last night, but today Yong'an Pawn Shop is empty?
Does the Patrol Division have the eyes and ears of shopkeeper Li?

Who is this person?
Could it be Master Du?
So many doubts made Song Jinyue dare not trust Lord Du rashly.

Master Du in the high hall stared coldly, glared at the officials, and scolded: "A bunch of trash!"

"Snapped"

As he slammed his palm on the table heavily, the yamen fell silent immediately.

"Lord Du, first report to His Majesty, and immediately send someone to guard the city gate." Qin Sheng said.

Now is not the time to get angry, but to try to find people first.

After all, this matter is related to the spies of the Northern Kingdom, and it also involves the mistress of the Duke's Mansion.

After the officials took Mrs. Song, Chunchan and Yun Xing to prison, Song Jinyue stood up and said goodbye.

Qin Sheng originally intended to send her back, but now that the case of the City Patrol Secretary is urgent, he has no choice but to send her.

He ordered his servant to take her back in person, and then he gave up.

After returning to Zhang's mansion, Song Jinyue went to her grandmother's yard first, and reported the itinerary for the day one by one. Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but blame her, telling her to bring more people when she leaves the mansion in the future.

Don't worry her.

Song Jinyue responded one by one, and after several reassurances, Mrs. Zhang let her go back to rest.

After arriving at the courtyard of Aunt Shen's, the maid stepped forward and replied: "The Princess is here, and the two young ladies and gentlemen from Madam's natal family are now inside."

Song Jinyue frowned slightly, and then said to the maid: "I'll come back later."

The servant girl sent her away respectfully, and then went into the room to reply.

She was walking towards the Green Bamboo Pavilion, and when she passed a dense bamboo forest, she saw Cousin Zhi coming towards her from the other end of the corridor.

"When I left the house today, why didn't you ask me to come with you? My mother kept nagging me for a long time!"

Zhang Dingzhi frowned and reproached for a few words, stepped forward and dragged his cousin back to the Cuizhu Pavilion.

"I was thinking of going to the City Patrol Secretary to see the two maidservants today, and I was worried that Mrs. Du would not ask me to see them, and I would be troublesome to Cousin Zhi if I ran away for nothing!"

Zhang Dingzhi glared at his cousin, dissatisfied, "Can I still be tired? It's fine if you don't want to take me with you, but you are still using this to lie to me now. How heartless!"

The lie was exposed, Song Jinyue could only smile awkwardly.

Fortunately, the Green Bamboo Pavilion was in front of her eyes, so she changed the subject and urged her cousin, "Go in quickly, I'm freezing outside today."

Seeing this delicate cousin complaining to himself with a lovely and pitiful appearance, Zhang Dingzhi didn't have the heart to blame him, so he quickly dragged her into the room.

He also ordered the maid to go down and prepare ginger soup to dispel the cold.

The two of them sat together on the soft couch, the earth dragon in the room was burning extremely vigorously, and the heat wave hit their faces.

"Tell me quickly, what happened today, and don't keep it from me!"

Zhang Dingzhi asked about today's affairs while frustrating his cousin's reddish fingers from the cold.

If you dare to lie to me, I will never forgive you!

Song Jinyue had no choice but to tell Cousin Zhi what happened one by one in detail.

When Zhang Dingzhi heard his cousin mention that the Yong'an pawn shop in the capital might be a spy from the Northern Kingdom, he was shocked and didn't recover for a while.

This pawn shop has been open in the capital for some years.

If the matter about the poison was exposed, no one would have guessed that Bei Guo was involved behind the pawnshop.

"Cousin, let the officials investigate this matter, you don't want to interfere any more in the near future."

She couldn't help feeling a little scared, and she was also worried about her cousin.

"Cousin, you should stay in Zhangfu, don't go back!"

Thinking of the unclear relationship between Shen and shopkeeper Li, Zhang Dingzhi was afraid that his cousin would be threatened, and put his own life in danger.

"Cousin Zhi, don't worry, I have made arrangements in the mansion now. It will be fine."

It is impossible for her to stay in the Zhang Mansion forever, the reason for leaving the Duke's Mansion this time is to make Ling'er show her feet.

It's just about Ling'er, she never mentioned it to Master Du, after all, there is no evidence now, and she is not sure whether Master Du is credible.

After seeing off Cousin Zhi, Song Jinyue ordered the kitchen to cook chicken soup again.

When the servants brought the chicken soup, Song Jinyue ordered it to be packed, and then she went to her aunt Xie's yard in person.

I told my aunt that she was going to deliver some chicken soup to Qin Sheng.

With a smile in Xie's eyes, he told her to go back early.
