The man in Black said calmly, "the childe asked me to come to you. He heard that you were invited by the Ministry of punishment to have tea."

The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "I didn't say anything, really!"

The man in black smiled: "if you didn't say anything, why did the officials of the Ministry of punishment send you back in person? Looking at the officials' nice appearance to you, you must have missed a lot of clues to the government?"

The shopkeeper eagerly denied: "I really didn't say anything. I can swear that if I betrayed the childe, I'll die!"

Man in Black: "it's no use swearing to me. You've been targeted by the people of the criminal department, which is very unfavorable to us."

"I can go back to my hometown. I'll go now and promise never to come back again!"

"You can't go away. Since the people of the Ministry of punishment have been staring at you, they won't let you leave easily." the man in black stood up and walked slowly towards him, with fierce eyes and cold tone. "The childe said that the most reliable person in the world is a dead man. The childe can be at ease only when you die."

The shopkeeper's face changed greatly and turned to run.

As soon as he stepped out of the front foot, he found that two men of the same tall and strong appeared outside the door.

He was knocked unconscious before the shopkeeper shouted.

The man in black took out the rope prepared in advance. The rope went through the beam and tied a knot below.

They put the shopkeeper's head in, and then kicked over the stool under the shopkeeper's feet.

The shopkeeper's neck was suddenly approached and the whole person was suspended in mid air.

He woke up at once, struggling desperately with his hands, kicking his feet, and making a painful sound in his throat.

The man in black and his two accomplices stood by and watched. They couldn't leave until the shopkeeper was out of breath.

Originally, they didn't have to be so troublesome. They could kill this man with one knife, but the childe told them to do it clean and leave no trace.

No way, they can only hang the man according to the old rules, pretending to hang himself.

Just then, the door of the study was knocked.

Dong Dong!

The man in black and his two accomplices immediately changed their faces.

The three quickly exchanged eyes.

The man in black asked in a deep voice, "who?"

Outside the door came the voice of the shopkeeper's wife: "it's me. I made some snacks for you."

Man in Black: "no, we don't want to eat."

The shopkeeper's wife didn't bother much and turned and left.

Listening to the fading footsteps, the man in black and his two associates breathed a sigh of relief.

The shopkeeper hanging from the beam gradually fell into despair.

It seems that he will die today.

The strength of his struggle was getting smaller and smaller. When he was about to die, the door of the study was suddenly kicked open from the outside!

Everyone in the room was surprised!

The man in black looked out the door and saw Zhao Xian break in with dozens of Yu Linwei.

Zhao Xian didn't give the other party a chance to escape. Without saying a word, he stopped the three people, knocked out, tied them up and took them away.

The shopkeeper was put down.

He lay on the ground panting, his face very bad.

Zhao Xian looked down at him and asked coldly, "are you still unwilling to say anything now?"

The shopkeeper felt a burning pain in his neck. He struggled to make a hoarse voice.

"I said, I said everything."

……

Dong Mingchun didn't even have time to eat lunch. He interrogated the four prisoners one by one at a time.

The three killers refused to say a word and tried to bite their tongue and commit suicide. Fortunately, they were found in time and didn't let them succeed.

As for the shopkeeper of Donglai building, he had already been frightened. He didn't need Dong Mingchun to ask. He said everything like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

What he said was almost the same as what Dong Mingchun said before.

……

On that day, Qin Wen wrapped up the whole Donglai building in order to hold the poetry meeting. Many people attended the poetry meeting, all of them children of aristocratic families, which were more difficult to serve one by one.

The shopkeeper was afraid of offending this group of people and ran around in person. He was very busy.

Later, Qin Wen suddenly asked someone to call him over and ask him if he had seen any suspicious people?

Of course the shopkeeper said no.

Qin Wen's face was very bad at that time. He said he had lost a very important book. If he couldn't find it back, he would have the whole Donglai building sealed up!

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he racked his brains to think about it. The result really made him think of it.

He said he once saw a scholar enter the elegant room where Qin Wen was.

Because the shopkeeper knew the scholar and knew that the scholar's family was not very good, he was not qualified to attend this level of poetry fair. He was very surprised when he saw him at first, so he was particularly impressed.

Hearing this, Qin Wen immediately left the Donglai building.

After that, the shopkeeper didn't know.

Dong Mingchun asked, "have you told anyone about these things?"

The shopkeeper hesitated.

Dong Mingchun sneered: "if you don't say it, I'll let someone take you home."

The shopkeeper was frightened when he heard this.

He knew he would only die if he went back. He was almost killed just now.

The shopkeeper said hurriedly, "no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Dong Mingchun asked, "who is your master?"

The shopkeeper said with difficulty, "I don't know who he is. I only know that everyone calls him the second childe."

He explained in detail how he came into contact with the second childe.

Long Shi sat beside him and truthfully recorded every word he said in the file.

According to the clues provided by the shopkeeper, Dong Mingchun asked people to seize the time to compare and investigate one by one.

Even if they sent out all the people who could use them, by the time they found out the results, the sun had set.

There is only one last night before the three-day appointment.

Zhao Xian hurried back to the palace and handed over the dossier and confession sorted out by Dong Mingchun to the prince himself.

Luo QingHan read these files and confessions one by one.

His eyes rested on the last line of the file——

After the close investigation of the Ministry of punishment, it is confirmed that the real owner of Donglai building is the second prince, Luo Yunxuan.

Luo QingHan put down the file.

Everything is clear.

The poetry club is just a cover. Qin Wen, in the name of the poetry club, invited young descendants of various families. These people are going to take the HKCEE this year. They have very strong expectations for this year's HKCEE.

Qin Wen plans to quietly sell the book of changes with HKCEE topics at the poetry fair.

Unexpectedly, there was an accident in the process.

Li Ji was this accident.

He originally just wanted to curry favor with those aristocratic families through the poetry club, but he inadvertently discovered the secret of the poetry club.
