Du Li confessed: "Yes."

"Mrs. Du gave birth to a daughter, and you snatched her away and threw her into the Qinglan River, killing her. Is this true?"

"yes."

"And then he poisoned Xu Jin. Is that true?"

"yes."

…

The county magistrate asked Du Li about his crimes one by one, and Du Li confessed to them all.

The crowd was stunned! After the shock, they were in an uproar.

"They say women are the most vicious, it's true! Madam Du can be so cruel to her own sister, she is unworthy of being a human being!"

"Not to mention her own sister, she even harmed her newborn niece. She is so cruel!"

"Poor Madam Du's daughter, she was thrown into the Qinglan River right after she was born. I'm afraid even her body is gone now."

"She threw away someone else's daughter and let her own daughter take her place. She has enjoyed the benefits for so many years. I don't think Du Yingying is a good person!"

The public was outraged.

Some people were so angry that they picked up stones from the ground and threw them at Du Tang.

"What are you doing! You are not allowed to act so rudely in the court!" the official scolded the man.

However, although they speak harshly, they do not actually hinder the actions, and even seem to condone them.

Beyond legal principles is human nature.

The yamen runners are also human beings, with their own likes and dislikes. They really dislike vicious people like Du Tang.

If it weren't for the white clothes he was wearing, he would have thrown things at her.

Realizing that the officials were not really trying to stop them, the people became more excited. For a moment, rotten vegetable leaves, stones, and clods of earth were all thrown towards Du Tang.

In the end, the lawsuit ended with Du Tang being thrown into jail.

The county magistrate also sentenced Du Tang to return the Du family's property and Wenxiu Pavilion to Du Li, and compensate her.

As for Liu Ran, he could not escape the punishment of the law. All the dirty things he had done in the past were now exposed.

The county magistrate naturally has to handle the case impartially.

The people applauded the result.

When the ladies and young ladies heard about this, they sighed and lamented for a while, but what they were most concerned about was whether Madam Du would continue to make clothes for them in the future?

After all, Madam Du has gone through a series of tragic events, and her health has been damaged by being locked in a dark room for many years. She might stop doing this in the future.

For a while, every family sent people to inquire about the situation, and circles of people gathered in front of the Tattoo Pavilion.

Unfortunately, the tattoo studio is closed and there is a sign outside saying "temporarily closed".

Everyone had to return disappointed and inform the host of the situation.

Du family.

Du Li gathered all the embroiderers in the Tattoo Pavilion and asked them about the store's situation over the years, especially the customers who had recently placed orders with the Tattoo Pavilion, with the intention of making compensation.

She didn't plan to continue running the Tattoo Pavilion, nor did she plan to stay in this sad place. If possible, she wanted to try to find her child. Even if... she met with an accident, she wanted to find her body and bury her. In the future, she would have a place to worship and commemorate her during the Qingming Festival and the Ghost Festival every year.

But she obviously couldn't do it herself, and she had been imprisoned for more than ten years, and almost all of her previous connections were gone. Now the only person she could turn to was Shen Yizi.

"Miss Shen has done me a great favor. Even if I were to go through fire and water, it would not be enough to repay her. Miss Shen said before that she came to Jincheng for me. If Miss Shen does not despise my impotent body, I would naturally be happy to serve Miss Shen. But before I leave, I would like to ask Miss Shen to help me fulfill a wish."

As Du Li said this, he knelt down in front of Shen Yizi and kowtowed.

Shen Yizhi hurriedly pulled her back and asked, "But do you want me to help you find your daughter's whereabouts?"

Du Li nodded with sobs, and when she lowered her head, a string of hot tears fell from her eyes.

"Even if you don't tell me, I will still help you. Just stay home and I'll go out for a while."

* The Qinglan River is the second largest tributary of the Jinlong River, running through the north and south regions and passing through many towns. Jincheng is just one of them.

At this time, Shen Yizhi was standing by the Qinglan River. This place was still desolate a few years ago. It was precisely because of its desolation that Du Tang had Du Li's newly born daughter abandoned here.

Now it has developed into a prosperous and bustling ferry crossing - Jiuqu Ferry.

Shen Yizhi found a relatively quiet place and put Yichang down.

"Go down there and look for any aquatic creatures that have developed intelligence. If there are any, ask them if they saw a baby girl sixteen years ago."

Yichang took the order and went, sinking into the water silently.

Shen Yizhi walked into a restaurant near the river - Wangjiang Tower.

It is said that this is a national chain restaurant with branches in every state and county, and a rare five floors.

Except for royal buildings, civilian buildings are rarely built with more than three floors. It is not that they cannot do it, but that they cannot.

Once the height exceeds the limit, it is considered an illegal building and will be "complained".

In modern times, if you are complained about, the most you will get is a fine or detention, but here, you may lose your head.

The fact that Wangjiang Tower was built so high shows that the owner behind it is so powerful that he can even make the royal family happy. Maybe he is a member of the royal family himself.

Shen Yizi leaned on the railing, looking out at the river, his mind full of all kinds of thoughts.

She ordered four signature dim sum and sat waiting.

Emerald soup steamed dumplings, kidney bean balls, milk crystal date cakes, hot roast pork elbow with sauce.

There are four dumplings in each plate. The steamed dumplings are like translucent jade. They not only look beautiful, but also taste soft, non-greasy, smooth and rich.

Although the ingredients did not contain any spiritual energy, the chef's cooking skills were extremely high. If he used the same ingredients, Shen Yizi thought he would probably not be as good as the chef.

The kidney bean balls are very delicate and melt in your mouth as soon as you bite them. Each one has a different filling, both sweet and salty. Her favorite is the one with brown sugar syrup.

Sweet but not greasy, sweet and refreshing.

There is nothing special about the jujube cake, but Wangjianglou has made a new idea. It is supported by fresh green bamboo leaves, which makes the cake more crystal clear. Inside is a kind of cream-like filling, which is fragrant, smooth and tender.

But the most surprising thing for her was the fourth dish, hot-roasted pork elbow with sauce, which was prepared similarly to roujiamo, but more refined.

A hot steamed bun the size of a child's palm still has the aroma of wheat fresh from the oven. The pork elbow in sauce is cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of saltiness, fat and lean meat, and very tasty. When you take a bite of the steamed bun, the sauce inside bursts in your mouth and will flow down the corners of your mouth if you are not careful.

It's really delicious.

Shen Yizi was thinking about the recipe while eating, thinking about going back and making it with spiritual materials for Qing Bao and the others to taste.

A large ship sailed over on the river and slowly approached the dock.
