Mengfei Qiqi

Chapter 477 A Little Jealous 10
"Ah?" Lord Gu raised his head, was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, nodded and said: "The old minister sent someone to check, and the black cloth used to wrap the corpse is only a very rare thing in the capital. Common black fabrics are available in various fabric shops."

"Really?" Mo Hanqing looked at Mr. Gu deeply, and asked casually, "Did Mr. Gu compare the fabric with the fabrics of other cloth shops? Are they really the same?"

"Ah?" Master Gu looked at him with some puzzlement.

"Oh." Mo Hanqing said with a cold smile: "Even if they are all black fabrics, there will still be great differences in the depth of printing and dyeing, the density of lines, and the trend of patterns. Will Mr. Gu make all those fabrics one by one? Checked??"

"This..." Listening to his words, Mr. Gu couldn't help breaking out of cold sweat on his forehead.

These... He really didn't compare them carefully.

"Leng Liu." Mo Hanqing glanced at him lightly, already knowing in his heart that he must have never done these things, so he called out to Leng Wei.

"The subordinate is here." A black figure suddenly appeared in Mo Hanqing's study.

"What happened to what this king arranged for you to do?" Mo Hanqing asked while sitting behind the desk, looking directly at Leng Liu.

"Return to Your Highness." Leng Liu knelt on the ground on one knee, cupped his fists and said respectfully to Mo Hanqing: "I went to check and found that there are 24 cloth shops in the capital, and [-] of them are for sale. This kind of black cloth, the subordinates bought some black cloth from these thirteen cloth shops, and compared it with the black cloth used to wrap the corpse before, from the softness of the cloth, printing and dyeing From the perspective of color and grain trends, only the fabrics sold by the two cloth houses are completely consistent with the black fabric."

"Oh?" Mo Hanqing raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Leng Liu who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a calm voice, "Which two cloth houses?"

"One of them is the No. [-] cloth shop in the capital, Zhiyun Pavilion, and the other is the cloth shop that just opened these two days, Yunjin Pavilion." Leng Liu's voice paused, and then continued: "Because the corpse was killed a few days ago. I found out, so the Yunjin Pavilion, which just opened yesterday, will definitely not sell fabrics before the opening, so this black fabric is only available in the Zhiyun Pavilion."

"Yeah." Mo Hanqing nodded with great satisfaction, glanced at Mr. Gu at the side, and then said in a calm voice, "Have you asked the people at Zhiyun Pavilion? Who are you selling all these black fabrics to?"

"Returning to His Highness, this subordinate has already asked the boss of Zhiyun Pavilion, and he has given his subordinate all the sales records of black cloth in the past year." Leng Liu took out the black cloth from his pocket while talking. After drawing out a ledger, he handed it to Mo Hanqing with both hands and said, "Here is the ledger."

"Bring it here." Mo Hanqing said lightly.

"Yes." Leng Liu stood up and handed the ledger to the desk in front of Mo Hanqing.

Mo Hanqing took the ledger and flipped through it casually. It was very simple about the sale of black cloth.

Although the fabric looks ordinary in style, the price is not cheap because of its excellent workmanship and printing and dyeing techniques. During this year, only the second and sixth princes purchased some in batches. It is used to make clothes for guards.
