Chapter 94: The cloth shop is burned(1/2)

"Yes! I obey my orders!" Liu Yun cupped his hands and said.

Liu Zhili took the jade token, ignored Liu Yun, put it in his arms and left without even looking at it. Before Liu Yun could react, Liu Zhili had already walked away.

Long Yuhan looked at Liu Zhili's hurried away figure, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. After all, he was also the king of a country, and the master and servant treated him as nothing from the beginning to the end. And that jade pendant, that was

The jade plaque that his father personally gave to him back then! Why did it become a random jade plaque in her eyes?

But what did they say about the store just now? When did she open the store? Why didn't he know? Long Yuhan was also confused, forget it and ask her again when she comes back.

Long Yuhan finally found time to see her, but she ran away. It was not interesting to stay here by himself, so he might as well go back to review the memorial. Long Yuhan also left angrily.

Along the way, Liu Zhili did not need to hold a jade card to get through smoothly, because her unique face was a pass. Everyone in the palace knew that Liu Zhili was about to become the queen of Langyue Kingdom, not to mention

Her alluring face would be unforgettable to anyone who saw it, and with the emperor's personal guards following her around, none of the guards guarding the door dared to stop her.

Even Xiaoya also became arrogant. If she hadn't thought that the store would be burned down, she would definitely have to show off her power.

When Liu Zhili and Xiaoya arrived at the door of the store, the door was crowded with people. Liu Zhili pushed through the crowd and squeezed in. He saw Uncle Liu sitting in the ruins and crying bitterly. Aunt Liu and Xiaoya also

We hugged each other and cried bitterly. Not much of the goods in the store were burned, and nothing was complete. The air was dry this season, and the cloths were all flammable. They would catch fire with a little fire. Look.

The water on the ground must have been rescued in time, otherwise the store would not have been saved.

"Uncle Liu." Liu Zhili walked slowly to Uncle Liu, handed him a handkerchief, and frowned slightly.

"Miss Zhili, you're here! Uncle Liu is sorry for not taking good care of the store. Now, it's all ruined."

8226;•" As he spoke, Uncle Liu started crying sadly again.

In fact, it didn't matter to Liu Zhili that the items in the shop were gone. She was just worried about whether something would happen to Uncle Liu's family. Now it seemed that as long as everyone was fine, the shop could be reopened even if it was gone.

As for Uncle Liu, this shop has been his hard work for many years. Although she bought it, she still has feelings for it. Now that it is burned down like this, how can she not be sad and feel distressed?

But the current plan is to find the murderer, and this shop cannot be burned down in vain!

"Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, please stop crying now. It's not the time to cry yet. Finding the murderer is the most important thing right now." Liu Zhili said calmly.

"Yes, sister Zhili is right, parents, please stop crying first." Xiang'er was still smart, wiped her tears, and comforted Liu Zhili.

"Well, please tell me the whole story first." Liu Zhili frowned slightly and looked at Uncle Liu and his wife with encouraging eyes.

"When I left yesterday, I saw someone sneaking around at the door, but I didn't pay much attention to it. However, I told Li Er to take good care of the store before I left. But when I was about to go to bed at night, Li Er became disgraced and panicked.

I ran over and told me that there was a fire in the store. When I heard the news, I ran to the store without even wearing a coat to take a look. Later, Aunt Liu and Xiang'er also arrived with the neighbors to help put out the fire, but&#

8226;amp;#8226;amp;#8226;

started to cry.

"Li Er?" Liu Zhili stroked his beautiful chin, looking thoughtful.

"Li Er is the clerk who is responsible for looking after the store every day, and is also responsible for the security of the warehouse every night." Aunt Liu explained.

It seems that there is indeed this person in the store. In my impression, this person is not tall, thin, and doesn't talk much, so Liu Zhili is not very impressed.

"Then where is Li Er now?" Liu Zhili looked at Uncle Liu and asked.

"Li Er just said that he choked on the cigarette last night and felt unwell. He went back to rest." Uncle Liu looked at Liu Zhili with some confusion. He didn't look for the murderer. Why did he ask Li Er?

"Quick! Aunt Liu, follow me to Li Er's house to see if he is still there. Xiang'er and Xiaoya are guarding the store to see if there are any suspicious people. Uncle Liu, go to the tower with Liu Yun and guard secretly.

If you see Li Er, capture him!" Liu Zhili made a quick decision, assigned tasks to everyone, and then split up.

Liu Zhili followed Aunt Liu to Li Er's house, and saw an old woman sitting at the door of the dilapidated house. The old woman was concentrating on peeling beans.

"Aunt Li, is your Li Er here?" Aunt Liu walked over and asked with a smile.

"Li Er, didn't Li Er say that he went out to purchase goods with your shopkeeper Liu?

?" Aunt Li looked at Aunt Liu with a puzzled face.

Aunt Liu and Liu Zhili looked at each other and understood what was going on.

"Aunt Liu, let's go." Liu Zhili said calmly.

"What's wrong?! Did our Li Er get into trouble again?!" Aunt Li quickly put down the beans in her hand and looked at Aunt Liu nervously.

"Aunt Li, it's nothing. I just went to the store and I didn't see him. Let me ask." Aunt Liu is a considerate person. Aunt Li has such a son. At such a young age, she has been worried about him all day long.

It's better not to tell her before you're sure, otherwise she won't be able to bear it.

Liu Zhili glanced at Aunt Liu, nodded appreciatively, and they left.

At this time, Liu Yun and Uncle Liu were hiding in the road next to the city tower, secretly observing the people coming and going. Sure enough, after a while, they saw Li Er carrying a baggage, looking left and right, walking towards the city gate in a panic.

"That's him!" Uncle Liu was about to rush out and catch Li Er, but Liu Yun pushed him to the ground first. Unexpectedly, Li Er was already on guard and pulled out a knife from Bao Fuli, turning over and facing Liu Yun.

Yun stabbed, but Liu Yun was faster. He grabbed Li Er's hand and twisted his arms back. Li Er screamed in pain and fell to the ground with a "pop". People passing by were amazed.

Liuyun's good skills.

When the soldier guarding the door saw something going on in front of him, he impatiently ordered, "You guys, go take a look and see what happened in front of you!"

"What are you doing!" Several fat-headed guards ran over and yelled at Liu Yun.

Liu Yun didn't want to talk to these little minions and didn't even bother to take a look. He held Li Er in one hand and took out the token with the other and said coldly: "Open your dog eyes and see who I am?

!”

One of the guards took a closer look and saw a guard with a sword in front of him. He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Sir, please spare my life! This little one has eyesight and cannot see the mountains. Please spare his life!" The others were also frightened.

Then he knelt down and begged for mercy.

When the leader saw no movement for a long time, he dared to raise his head cautiously. Who was there in front of him? Liu Yun had already gone far away.

"It turns out that you are the imperial guard with a sword in front of me! Thank you, sir, for helping me catch the murderer!" Uncle Liu looked at Liu Yun with admiration, but at the same time he was a little scared. Even the imperial guard with a sword in front of him listened to Liu Zhili's words.

Presumably Liu Zhili's identity is also unusual.

Sure enough, what he said next made Uncle Liu so frightened that he almost fainted.

"I'm just doing things according to the Queen's order, I don't want to help." Liu Yun said coldly, without any expression on his face.

When Liu Zhili and the others arrived at the store, Liu Yun and Uncle Liu had not arrived yet. Liu Zhili asked Xiaoya and the others what they had discovered, and Xiang'er replied, "I just saw the guy from Jinxiu Cloth Store come here.

He glanced furtively and then left."

She had heard about Jinxiu Cloth Shop when she arrived. She heard that Jinxiu Cloth Shop was the largest cloth shop in the capital, but its business had not been very good recently. As for why it was not good, Liu Zhili knew that, too.

Since the store opened by Liu Zhili launched a series of new styles of scarfs, coats, etc., many big customers from official families have rushed to her store to buy them. Even the old customers of Jinxiu Cloth Store have also rushed to patronize.

, Jinxiu Cloth Store will definitely not give up after losing so many customers.

However, as far as she knew, the proprietress behind Jinxiu Cloth Shop was Murong Qing'er, the second daughter of General Murong's family. Unexpectedly, she was really destined to be with the Murong family.

amp;#8226;amp;#8226;amp;#8226; Liu Zhili sneered in his heart.

At this moment, Liu Yun and Uncle Liu came back with Li Er.

Aunt Liu saw the embarrassed Li Er. Although she had already guessed that he was the murderer, she still felt a little sad, "Li Er, back then I pitied your family for being so poor that they couldn't even eat, so I asked you to come to the store to help me and gave you enough money."

The money is used to subsidize the family. Our Jixiang Cloth Shop has treated you well for so many years. Why do you want to retaliate and burn down our shop?! Have we ever done anything wrong to you?!"

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Liu, Li Er, I'm sorry for you."

;amp;#8226;amp;#8226;amp;#8226;amp;#8226;If my mother hadn't been sick, I wouldn't have listened to others' instigation and burned down the shop!" Li Er is also a person who values ​​friendship,

The filial child felt ashamed when he thought of the care given to him by Uncle Liu's family.

"Li Er, who are you talking about?" Liu Zhili asked softly.

"It's the proprietress of Jinxiu Cloth Shop, Murong Qing'er." Li Er lowered his head and timidly said

Replied. It was indeed her!

"Li Er, if you still have a conscience, come with me to the government to testify against Murong Qing'er. I might consider not letting the government punish you." Liu Zhili said calmly.

"Li Er is willing, Li Er will go with you right now!" Li Eryi heard that there was a chance to atone for his sins, and he quickly agreed.

"Okay! Let's set off now!" Liu Zhili was the first to walk in front, followed closely by Uncle Liu and the others.

"Dong dong dong!" Liu Zhili picked up the drumstick and hit the injustice drum at the door of the Yamen. But after beating for a long time, no one was seen.

"That damn faint-hearted official Zhang Linfeng turned a blind eye when someone was beating drums to complain. When he gets back, he must report it to the emperor and have him dismissed and investigated!" Liu Yun snorted coldly in his heart, while taking the drumstick from Liu Zhili's hand and continuing to beat it.

.

Zhang Linfeng is the governor of the capital, specializing in hearing large and small cases in the capital.

After a while, the heavy door opened. Mr. Zhang, who was wearing official uniform, yawned, walked slowly to the hall, and impatiently ordered, "Take them to the hall!"

"Mighty and mightyamp;#8226;amp;#8226;amp;#8226;amp;#8226;"

He shouted feebly.

"I finally had a good night's sleep, but I was woken up by you unscrupulous people again. If you have anything to do, please tell me! I don't have much time to waste with you here!" Zhang Linfeng yawned again as he spoke, and everyone in the hall

No one even glanced at it.

"Your Majesty, the common people want to sue Murong Qing'er, the proprietress of Jinxiu Villa. She sent people to burn down the Cao Min's shop last night. Please make the decision for the Cao Min." Liu Zhili did not intend to reveal his identity. If Master Zhang refused,

If she handles cases impartially, no wonder she uses her trump card!

When Zhang Linfeng heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Liu Zhili, who was standing in the hall and was neither humble nor arrogant. If he tried this case, wouldn't he also try himself? He is not that stupid!
