The man in black said calmly: "It was the young master who asked me to come to you. He heard that you were invited by the Ministry of Justice for tea."

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

The man in black: "If you didn't say anything, why would the officials of the Ministry of Justice send you back in person? Seeing the official's kindness to you, I guess you must have missed a lot of clues to the government?"

The shopkeeper eagerly denied: "I really didn't say anything. I can swear. If I tell a lie, I will be thundered and killed!"

The man in black: "You swear to me is useless. You have been targeted by the people from the Ministry of Justice, which is very unfavorable to us."

"I can go back to my hometown, I will leave now, and I will guarantee that I will never come back in the future!"

"You can't get away. Since the people from the Ministry of Justice have already set their sights on you, they will definitely not let you leave easily," the man in black stood up and walked towards him slowly, with a fierce look and a cold tone. "Young Master said that the most reliable person in this world is a dead person. Only when you die can you feel at ease."

The shopkeeper's expression changed drastically and he turned around and wanted to run away.

As soon as he stepped out, he found that two tall and strong men appeared outside the door at some point.

Before the shopkeeper could scream, he was knocked unconscious.

The man in black took out the rope prepared in advance, and passed the rope through the beam of the house and tied a knot below.

They put the shopkeeper's head in and kicked over the stool that was placed under the shopkeeper's feet.

The shopkeeper's neck was suddenly approached and he was hung in mid-air.

He woke up suddenly, struggled desperately with his hands, kicking his legs, and making horrible sounds in his throat.

The man in black and his two accomplices stood by and watched. They had to wait until the shopkeeper died before leaving.

Originally, they didn't have to be so troublesome, and they could kill this person with just one knife, but the young master ordered that they should do it cleanly and not leave any traces.

There was no way, they could only hang the man according to the old rules and pretended that he had committed suicide by hanging himself.

At this moment, the door of the study room was knocked.

Dongdong!

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

The three of them quickly exchanged their eyes.

The man in black asked in a deep voice: "Who?"

A shopkeeper's wife's voice came from outside the door: "It's me, I made some snacks and specially brought them to you."

The man in black: "No, we don't want to eat."

The shopkeeper's wife did not bother her and turned around and left.

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

The shopkeeper hanging on the beam gradually fell into despair.

It seems that he will not be able to escape from death today.

His struggle was getting smaller and smaller. When he was about to lose his life, the door of the study was suddenly kicked open from outside!

Everyone in the room was shocked!

The man in black looked out the door and saw Zhao Xian breaking in with dozens of Yulin Guards.

Zhao Xian did not give the other party a chance to escape, so he took action without saying a word to stop the person, then knocked him out and tied him up and took him away.

The shopkeeper was put down.

He lay on the ground and gasped heavily, his face extremely bad.

Zhao Xian looked at him condescendingly and asked coldly: "Are you still unwilling to say anything now?"

The shopkeeper felt his neck hurt so hard that he made a hoarse voice.

"I said, I said everything."

...

Dong Mingchun didn't even have time to have lunch, so he interrogated the four prisoners one by one in one breath.

The three killers refused to say a word, and tried to bite their tongue and commit suicide. Fortunately, they were discovered in time and did not let them succeed.

As for the shopkeeper of Donglailou, he was already scared and didn't need Dong Mingchun to ask, he said everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

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

...

In order to hold a poetry meeting that day, Qin Wen booked the entire Donglailou. There were many people attending the poetry meeting, and they were all children of aristocratic families, each of which was more difficult to serve.

The shopkeeper was afraid of offending these people, so he ran around and was very busy.

Later, Qin Wen suddenly asked someone to call him over and asked him if he had seen someone who was very suspicious?

Of course the shopkeeper said no.

Qin Wen's face was extremely abnormal at that time. He said that he had lost a very important book. If he couldn't find it back, he would have someone sealed off the entire Donglailoudo!

The shopkeeper was frightened and racked his brains to recall, but it really made him think of it.

He said that he had once seen a scholar entering the private room where Qin Wen was.

Because the shopkeeper knew the scholar and knew that the scholar's family was not well off, he was not qualified to attend a poetry meeting of this level. When he first saw him, he was very surprised, so he was particularly impressed by him.

After hearing this, Qin Wen immediately left Donglailou.

The shopkeeper will not know what happened next.

Dong Mingchun asked: "Have you told others about these things?"

The shopkeeper was hesitant.

Dong Mingchun sneered: "If you don't say anything, I'll send you home."

The shopkeeper was frightened when he heard this.

He knew that he would definitely be dead if he went back, but he was almost killed just now!

The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "No, no, no! I told you all, I told my master about these things. After all, it is about Mr. Qin Jiu, and I dare not not tell him."

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 young master."

He told all the details of how he came into contact with the second young master.

The chief minister sat next to him and wrote every word he said truthfully in the file.

Based on the clues provided by the shopkeeper, Dong Mingchun made people hurry up and compare one by one and investigate one by one.

Even if they sent out all the people they could use, the sun had already set when they found out the results.

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

Zhao Xian rushed back to the palace and handed the files and confessions that Dong Mingchun had sorted out to the prince himself.

Luo Qinghan finished reading these files and confessions one by one.

His eyes remained on the last line of the document—

After a rigorous investigation by the Ministry of Justice, it was confirmed that the real Dong family in Donglailou was the second prince, Luo Yunxuan.

Luo Qinghan put down the file.

Everything is clear.

The poetry meeting was just a pretext. Qin Wen used the name of the poetry meeting to invite young juniors from various families. These people were going to take the examination this year, and they had very strong expectations for this year's examination.

Qin Wen planned to secretly sell the "Book of Changes" containing the exam questions at the poetry meeting.

Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened during the process.

This is the accident for Li Ji.
