As soon as the morning sun revealed a little light from the clouds, it sprinkled the light on the earth without hesitation.

The bright light shone on the little girl's fair face, her eyelashes blinked, the corners of her mouth naturally turned up, and she slowly opened her eyes.

The room was filled with the scent of sesame and mochi. Wan Yan turned her head, and the quilt mountain had long since disappeared. She was lying in the middle of the bed, sprawled all over, with messy clothes.

Wan Yan sat up, only remembering discussing the case with the adults last night, she fell asleep while talking, in the dream there were mountains and waters, birds and flowers, and the gentle eyes and sweet embrace of the adults.

Thinking of yesterday's dream, Wan Yan's face became hot, and she searched around, but there was no sign of the adult.

"My lord!" Wan Yan shouted, and saw breakfast on the square table of the inn, and the hot tea in the teacup was still steaming.

Had a really good sleep last night.

There was a sound of opening the door, and Su Jizhi pushed the door and walked in, holding a wooden basin in his hand, and there were still drops of water on his face.

"woke up?"

"Where have you been, my lord?"

"I see that you slept soundly, so go outside and bring you back the wash water by the way."

The adult put the wooden basin on the shelf, and passed the moisture-permeable cotton handkerchief to Wan Yan, "It's already Chen, do you want to get up?"

"Chenshi?" Wan Yan looked at the bright sunshine, and she couldn't believe it, she believed it, "Why didn't your lord call me earlier? We still have a lot of things to do today, and it's all your lord's fault for the delay."

Su Jizhi: "..."

"That's right, whoever makes more money has a straight back."

Wan Yan covered her mouth and smiled, her delicate appearance was brighter than the sun and the moon.

Su Jizhi walked slowly to the side of the bed and pulled up Wanyan, "What else can I call you? I called you before Maoshi, turn over and continue sleeping, and ignore me at all."

"Do I have it? How is it possible? My lord, don't try to lie to me." She refused to admit it, but Wan Yan got up numbly, pointing to the bed and asking, "My lord, where did you go?"

Su Jizhi pretended to be amazed and wronged, "You don't even remember? After falling asleep last night, you kicked over the quilt and pushed me under the quilt. Fortunately, I am quick, otherwise you might not see me today." me."

Wan Yan knew that what the adults said was a lie, but she still lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Then, you took my arm and put it on my heart. I was afraid of waking you up, so I had to let you do whatever you wanted."

With Wanyan holding her forehead, she can do whatever she wants?

"Come on, I'll ask the guy to prepare it earlier, try it, this is a freshly baked mochi." Su Jizhi took Wan Yan's hand and pushed her onto the chair.

"Eat, as you said, we have a lot to do today, and we will have the strength to work when we are full."

At this time, voices came from the corridor, "Can't I leave today?"

A deep male voice replied, "Not yet, I still have things to deal with here, but hurry up, don't worry."

The female voice was very dissatisfied, "Then when will it be? It's been a few days? I can't hide here forever."

"Very soon, don't worry." The male voice tried to comfort him.

"Always procrastinate, procrastinate!" The female voice said harsh words, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of suitable words. When Wan Yan heard the door slam, the woman closed the door angrily.

Wan Yan stopped with a sesame mochi in her hand.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Wan Yan stunned, Su Jizhi asked in a low voice.

"My lord, this voice is so familiar." Wan Yan put down the mochi, walked quickly to the door and opened it, poked her head out, and there was no one in the corridor.

There was a strong fragrance of powder floating in the air.

This smell was like smoke from someone before, and the voice just now seemed to be her.

Wan Yan's old acquaintance: Liao Niang.

Returning to Su Jizhi's side, Wan Yan shook her head in disbelief, "It sounds like a sister I know, but she can't be here, I don't know, maybe it's her."

Wan Yan remembered that Liao Niang went to the land security office to sell the land deed a few days ago. At that time, the land security said she was leaving the capital. If the person just now was Liao Niang, did she leave the capital?
But Wan Yan didn't want to think about it anymore, she was not close to Liao Niang, and what Liao Niang was doing now was none of her business.

"It doesn't matter, my lord, let's eat, the sesame mochi is still hot, and the aroma is tempting."

Sishi, Sanhe Porcelain Workshop.

Su Jizhi explained the purpose of his visit, and the shopkeeper looked sad.

"Master Su, the Porcelain Workshop is now suspending everything, Boss Zhang has been killed, no one is managing the Porcelain Workshop, and Mr. Fu Yin Wang won't let me go. I'm anxious."

Su Jizhi and Wan Yan were sitting in front of the counter in the porcelain workshop, looking at the dusty porcelain, filled with desolation everywhere.

"Master Wang means that the case has not been solved yet, and everything has to be discussed in the long run." Su Jizhi comforted lightly.

"It's a long-term plan, but I have to make a living. I've been stuck here for more than three months. When will it be the first time?"

As long as the shopkeeper, who is over 40 years old, mentions this matter, he can't spit out a gloom.

Su Jizhi couldn't answer either, this was Lord Wang's arrangement, and Lord Wang had his own ideas.

"Is Zhang Kairong's porcelain workshop run by himself?"

"Yes, I am the shopkeeper, and there are two apprentices in the shop."

"The apprentice left after the accident?"

"Leave, and there is no wages, of course he has to go."

Su Jizhi raised his eyes, Master Wang didn't mention this in the file, "How old is the apprentice?"

"It's all teenagers."

"Usually live here? What about the night of the crime?"

The shopkeeper understood the meaning of Su Jizhi's words, "My lord, these two children are the people who have been with Boss Zhang since he opened the store. On the day when the incident happened, our porcelain shop bought a batch of goods, and the two children were in the store."

"Where are they now?" Su Jizhi didn't trust the shopkeeper's words. Whether the two children were suspected or not had to be seen.

The whereabouts of 2000 taels of silver are unknown. This is not something that anyone can do and who cannot.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper actively said in order to solve the case as soon as possible: "The two children are helping workers not far away. I will go to find them to meet the adults in a while."

When the shopkeeper said this, Su Jizhi had ruled out the suspicion of the two children.

It's been four months. If they were the ones who committed the crime, they would have taken the money and found an excuse to escape without a trace.

"Okay, I have to see the person I need to see. I'll trouble the shopkeeper to make a trip later."

The shopkeeper agreed, and Su Jizhi asked again, "There are only four of you, Zhang Kairong, in this porcelain shop?"

"Yes."

Su Jizhi was puzzled: "Then who was Ruan Jingshan who planned to go with Zhang Kairong on the day of the incident?"

"Oh, Mr. Ruan, he is the boss's partner. He runs a dye workshop. When the porcelain workshop opened, it seems that Mr. Ruan also took the money, but I don't know exactly how he is related to Mr. Zhang."

Su Jizhi frowned, "Is it true that Zhang Kairong said that he went to Bao'an Mansion to buy goods?"

"Yes."

"Now let's talk about it specifically, what is Zhang Kairong's temperament? Does he have any enemies?"

"The boss is very nice and intelligent. I have been here since the porcelain workshop opened, and it has been ten years now."

Su Jizhi nodded, "If Zhang Kairong is not good, you can't work here all the time, is that what you mean?"

The shopkeeper finally showed a little smile, and then showed grief in a flash, "So, our boss passed away so badly, who is the murderer? Why did you kill him?"
