“Lord Xing, please take a look.”
The hour did not wait for anyone. When he heard someone shouting for clues, Ji Shuisheng asked Xing Ruhai to take a look. After burying their Godmother, he and Su Qing would check on the situation.
“Alright.”
Xing Ruhai nodded in agreement and immediately ordered someone to bring the man who provided the clue to the government office.
The strange thing was that the coffin had become lighter. The eight of them no longer felt as if there was a huge mountain on their shoulders. It seemed that Godmother was worried about Zhong Yong’s marriage. Aunt Qiu’s words made her feel at ease.
The burial location was on a high hill outside West City. This was a tomb that a Feng Shui master had looked for. It could bring prosperity to future generations, but it could not be conferred with the title of Marquis. They were temporarily burying Madam Li here. When they conquered the dynasty in the future, they would bury Madam Li and Zhong Yong’s father together.
During the burial, Ji Shuisheng and Zhong Yong knelt in front on behalf of her sons. Su Qing and Xiaoying knelt behind them. Li Danin, Qiu Yongkang, and the rest knelt behind Su Qing and Xiaoying.
Although Madam Li only gave birth to one son, Zhong Yong and everyone knelt on the spot. It could be considered a grand funeral.
When the coffin was buried with the first shovel of soil, Zhong Yong cried out for his mother heart-wrenchingly. Snowflakes fell on the coffin, and it was extremely desolate.
After the Godmother was buried, Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng rushed to the government office to see the man who had provided the clues. Godmother must have been there to point out the murderer.
By the time Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing arrived at the government office, Xing Ruhai had already inquired in detail. The man who provided the clue was called Li Dezhuang. He said he had seen someone taking money out of a purse embroidered with pear blossoms a few days ago. Recently, he had been spending a lot of money and eating like a rich man.
Li Dezhuang was a gambler. Although Mo City was dilapidated, gamblers could always find a place to gamble. They could use anything from silver to food and drink as their gambling capital. This person was an old resident of Mo City, not a refugee.
In other words, Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng had made a wrong judgment initially. They had always thought the refugees killed and robbed people to survive.
This was the most apparent clue provided in the past few days. Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing immediately asked him to take them to arrest him.
Li Dezhuang had worked hard for a hundred taels of silver and three fat sheep. He brought Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing to a cellar west of the city. The snow had sealed the door. No footprints were on the snow, so he should still be in the house.
“Sir, Second Lord Wu lives inside. 1 don’t dare to go in, afraid he will seek revenge on me.”
Li Dezhuang whispered to Ji Shuisheng. His eyes were filled with fear. He was terrified of this person called Second Brother Wu.
Li Dezhuang wanted to leave, but Ji Shuisheng grabbed his collar and dragged him into the courtyard. He asked him to knock on the door.
“Knock on the door and confirm if the person inside is Second Brother Wu?”
“Can you open this door?”
Li Dezhuang pointed at the door that was blocked by the heavy snow. The basement houses in the northeast were half underground and half on the ground. It was good to be warm in winter and cool in summer. It was easy to block the door when it snowed heavily.
“Qingxue.”
Ji Shuisheng ordered Li Dezhuang. This person had a cunning face and did not look good.
Li Dezhuang held the wooden shovel and cleared the snow with a sad face. Why did he have to work to provide clues?
After finally cleaning up the snow at the door, Li Dezhuang turned to look at Ji Shuisheng. His bashful look was annoying. Ji Shuisheng was already in a bad mood, so when he saw him like this, he urged impatiently,
“Quickly knock on the door.”
“Second Brother, are you home?”
Li Dezhuang hurried to the house. Hearing him call him second brother proved that they had a good relationship. They had already called each other brothers but still betrayed each other for money.
Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing looked at the door expressionlessly. Both of them clenched their fists tightly. Ji Shuisheng gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. Today was the day of Godmother’s burial. If Second Brother Wu was proven to be Godmother’s murderer, he could be used as a blood sacrifice for Godmother.
“F * ck, you’re here early in the morning to call for souls.”
Second, Brother Wu’s scolding came from the room. It was insulting and overbearing.
“Second brother, there is a chance to make a fortune.”
Li Dezhuang listened to Ji Shuisheng’s words and shouted into the house in fear.
“Make a fortune? What chance do you have to make a fortune?”
In the room, Wu Laoer was very contemptuous when he heard Li Dezhuang’s words. Ji Shuisheng did not want to listen to their nonsense anymore. After confirming that he was in the room, he kicked the door. The door was not sturdy, to begin with, so how could it withstand Ji Shuisheng’s powerful kick? It shattered immediately. The wind blew the snow into the room. Wu Laoer, sleeping on the brick bed, jumped up and cursed.
“Li Dezhuang, how dare you kick down my door?”
Before he could complete his awe-inspiring act, he was kicked down by Ji Shuisheng, who pulled his ankle and threw him heavily to the ground.
Second brother Wu was dizzy from the fall and was still cursing, “Li Dezhuang, how dare you hit me?”
The room was dimly lit, so he couldn’t tell who hit him. He thought it was Li Dezhuang, so he wasn’t afraid until he saw Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng’s murderous eyes.
“The money bag is here.”
Li Dezhuang was a scoundrel. Seeing that Ji Shuisheng had subdued Second Brother Wu, whom he was afraid of, he was not scared anymore. He climbed onto the brick bed and rummaged through it without Ji Shuisheng’s instructions. He found the money bag filled with silver from Second Brother Wu’s clothes and raised it high up in the air. He shouted excitedly at Ji Shuisheng,
“Official, it’s here!”
“Li Dezhuang, you f * eking tricked me…”
When Second Brother Wu saw Li Dezhuang take out his money bag, he was so angry that he wanted to jump up and hit Li Dezhuang. However, Ji Shuisheng stepped on his lower back, and he could not move his entire body. He was so angry that he cursed.
Su Qing took the money bag and looked at the pattern of pear blossoms embroidered on it. Su Qing knew her Godmother’s embroidery work. The pear blossoms on the money bag were embroidered as if they were blooming in the wind. There was not much money left in the money bag. Second brother Wu has squandered it.
“Where did you get the money bag?”
Ji Shuisheng stepped on Second Brother Wu’s lower back and asked. Second Brother Wu screamed in pain, still acting like he didn’t understand.
“I picked it up. Can’t 1 pick it up? Is it illegal?”
“Picked it up? Where did you pick it up?”
Ji Shuisheng grabbed Second Brother Wu’s hair and made him look up into his eyes.
“Yes… 1 picked it up on the road.”
Wu Laoer’s eyes evaded, and he hesitated momentarily before talking. He was lying. Ji Shuisheng beat him up, but he refused to tell the truth. He insisted that he picked up the money bag and had forgotten where he picked it up.
Su Qing didn’t want to waste any more time, so she stuffed a pill into his mouth that could cause pain to the bone marrow. Even the well-trained Wan Family Army couldn’t take this pill, let alone a little hoodlum.
Second Brother Wu was in so much pain that his entire body trembled and rolled on the ground. He screamed in pain and couldn’t take it anymore. “I picked it up at the entrance of the gambling den.”
The entrance of the gambling den? This didn’t make sense. Godmother was killed in the alley next to the winery, so how could the money bag appear at the casino’s entrance?
“You’re lying.”
Ji Shuisheng gave him a kick. Second Elder Wu was in so much pain that his eyeballs were about to pop out. He looked at Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing in horror.. Who were they? How did she know that he was lying?
