C178 (2/2)

In this side chamber, although Chang Yu was sighing, he could not let the young miss of the Zhao Family go. After all, the two of them loved each other so much that it would be impossible for him to give up on this Miss Zhao and escape.

Just like this, Wang San came to ask for money from Chang Yu every now and then. Chang Yu was already afraid of Wang San. Later on, Wang San once again asked Chang Yu for money, and Chang Yu was truly out of money. Seeing that he couldn't take it out, Wang San left while cursing.

That night, Wang San had a good friend, Liu Er, who was also a local rascal. The two of them drank wine, and after Wang San drank too much, he told Liu Er about the matter.

When Liu Er heard this, he did not think like Wang San did about how to get money from that poor bastard, Eternal Jade. Instead, he went to the Outer Palace and told the story to Steward Zhao. When Steward Zhao heard this, he almost fainted on the spot from anger.

But for the sake of his daughter's reputation, Steward Zhao could only swallow his anger. After returning, Liu Er gave Wang San a piece of the silver he got from the Zhao Family. The two of them were so happy that they almost died from laughter.

Not long after, it was autumn and business was busy. Wang San didn't have the time to hang out with Liu Er and Liu Qing.

Later on, Second Wife Liu came to find Wang San, saying that he had not been home for some days. Wang San thought that since he had gotten the money, Second Wife Liu went to the brothel and went out to play, so he didn't go home. Thus, he advised his sister-in-law, but they didn't take it to heart.

In the end, it was only a few days before they heard that the young miss of the Zhao Family had been secretly murdered. Not long after that, the government sent people to capture Chang Yu.

Wang San told everything he knew to Luo Lingwei. Luo Lingwei thought for a moment before looking at the materials in her hands.

Thinking that she was very close to the truth, she nodded and said to the people below her, ”Bring that corpse you found during the day to the hall for Wang San to recognize it. Do you recognize it?”

The two attendants accepted the order. After a short while, the corpse of the man that was dug out from the Zhao Mansion pond was brought out from the memorial hall.

When Wang San saw the male corpse, his entire body trembled. He pointed at it and said, ”This …” The old lady! ”This person is my good friend, Liu Er. Why is he …”

Luo Lingwei waved her hand: ”Since that's the case, it's good that you recognize him. Someone, carry him away.”

Seeing that she recognized the corpse, Luo Lingwei quickly called for someone to carry it down. She was afraid that if she looked at it a bit longer, she would vomit again.

”Wang San, I ask you, do you know anything else about this?”

Luo Lingwei asked a few more times. After confirming that Wang San had told her everything, she took him in as a male supervisor and left the hall.

After leaving the hall, Luo Lingwei did not rest. Instead, she instructed Xiaoqing and Zhang Long to report to the Zhao manor the next day.

The next day, the two of them disguised themselves and snuck into the Zhao Mansion to ask around from the maids and servants.

Indeed, as soon as the four of them entered the Zhao manor, they were ordered by the steward to not ask too many questions or else the two of them would be watched.

When Xiaoqing and Zhang Long heard this, their hearts skipped a beat. They knew there was something strange about the Zhao Mansion!
