Shan Qingfeng interrupted anxiously, a drop of sweat sliding down his forehead.
"Don't talk anymore. Ah Da, you lead the way and point out where we met the bad guys."
Su Yun: ??? [How could I possibly know who it was? If I knew, I would just watch the ending.]
[I really don't know about this, but in the end it involved Zhu the butcher at the East Street meat stall. Maybe I can ask him to find out. But I don't know if it will be useful, because in the end the person behind it is you, Shan Shaoqing. Isn't this outrageous? ]
Even though she complained in her heart, Su Yun still walked in front obediently, walking slowly.
The group left the house and came to North Street.
[Otherwise, I will lead my men to East Street. I will play the whole game anyway. Maybe I can really get something out of Zhu the Butcher.]
East Street passes through South Street, and Su Yun plays the role of a little beggar very well.
She lowered her head and shrunk her neck as she led the way.
Qin Fuying looked at Shan Qingfeng in confusion. She couldn't understand why Shan Shaoqing wanted Su Yun to lead the way instead if he didn't want her to participate.
Shan Qingfeng gave him a calm look.
Qin Fuying understood that Shan Shaoqing's move was just to alert the enemy.
If the person behind the scenes is still in the capital, he will definitely be exposed.
Shan Qingfeng touched his nose.
In fact, he has been clueless these past two days. It would be better to let this little girl take him with him. Maybe there will be some clues.
Even when he sent someone to watch over a woman who was about to give birth, he was unable to keep the baby safe. When he was there, the baby was safe, but as soon as he left, the baby disappeared.
But he was the one behind the scenes, wasn't this a joke? If it was true as this girl said, then someone must have framed him.
There were really not many people who could be chosen except him, so Shan Qingfeng had some candidates in mind.
Su Yun walked ahead and had already reaped a lot of rewards before reaching East Street.
The kind-hearted wonton seller also gave Su Yun a broken bowl. Now there was not only half a bowl of copper coins in the bowl, but also a few taels of silver.
Su Yun's little face was dirty, but her white teeth were visible when she smiled.
[It turns out that beggars make money this way. They don’t do anything, just walk around and the money will come to them.]
Su Yun's eyes sparkled as if she had discovered a new world.
She would shout to everyone she met, "Look, look, here comes a poor beggar. Hello, auntie, kind uncle, please have pity on a poor guy like me. Give me a steamed bun and some soup, I wish you a long and healthy life..."
Qin Fuying's mouth twitched and she glanced at Shan Qingfeng. She really regretted bringing Yunyun here.
Guan Xi lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders.
The detectives following behind Shan Qingfeng were all trying to hold back their laughter.
Shan Qingfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted.
"Ada, now is not the time to beg. It's more important to do business!"
Su Yun held the small bowl in her arms.
"Ladies and gentlemen, enough is enough. I have work to do."
The onlookers dispersed, but the small bowl in his arms was still filled with water.
A kind-hearted lady couldn't bear to see this and replaced the soup bowl with one so that it could hold the copper coins and scattered silver coins.
Su Yun scratched her head in embarrassment. She covered the bowl with her sleeve and now she didn't dare to shout.
[The ladies and uncles are really so warm and welcoming. There are indeed many good people in this world! ]
Su Yun nodded seriously.
Shan Qingfeng looked up at the sky in silence. What sin had he committed? Why did he have to be disguised as a beggar? Disguising himself as an ordinary child would have been fine...
Soon, the group arrived at East Street.
Su Yun stopped not far from the meat stall.
"Master Shan, do you really want to identify me?"
[We don’t know if this Butcher Zhu is a good person. What if he wrongly accuses someone? ]
"Don't be afraid, Ada, just tell me. If he really is the bad guy, we will never let him go. If he is not, we will not wrongly accuse an innocent person." Shan Qingfeng gave him an affirmative look.
Su Yun raised her chin.
[I understand. It's just a feint to the east and attack in the west to scare the snake. One is to scare the person behind the scenes, and the other is to identify the fake murderer so that the real person behind the scenes can relax their vigilance. So this is what Shan Shaoqing meant. Then it will be easy.]
Shan Qingfeng smiled, looking mysterious.
Su Yun stood up straight and walked towards the meat stall aggressively.
She held the soup bowl in one hand and pointed at Butcher Zhu with the other.
"Sir, it was him. On that dark and windy night, I was about to go out to steal a bite to eat when I saw a figure sneaking around with a baby in his arms."
Butcher Zhu's face was full of confusion. He thrust the boning knife into the chopping board, wiped his hands on his apron twice, and when he came to his senses, he knelt down.
"It's unfair. What I held that night was a piglet. How could it be a baby? This little beggar must have been dazzled. Please help me, sir!"
[Uh... No way, how can it be such a coincidence, I was just making it up. ]
Su Yun didn't know what to say next. This dramatic scene made people who didn't know think that Butcher Zhu was in collusion with them.
Shan Qingfeng seemed to be thinking about something. This Butcher Zhu's reaction was a bit too much.
Maybe it really has something to do with this matter.
"Ada, you must have seen clearly that day, what was in Butcher Zhu's arms was a piglet or a baby."
"I can definitely tell the difference between humans and pigs." Su Yun continued with gritted teeth.
[Since Shan Shaoqing asked me this, there must be something wrong with this butcher Zhu.]
Shan Qingfeng smiled with relief, this girl was not too stupid.
Butcher Zhu kowtowed, "Bang bang bang~"
He kowtowed three times and his forehead turned red.
"My Lord, I was holding a piglet that night. Ah Cui from the alley at the East Street can testify for me. Two days ago, Ah Cui's sow gave birth to piglets, and one of them suffocated to death, so she sold it to me."
"Come here, go to the entrance of the alley on East Street and bring Ah Cui here." Shan Qingfeng waved his hand, and two constables stepped out and trotted away.
Before A Cui came, Butcher Zhu kept kneeling.
Shan Qingfeng approached and asked, "Why are you kneeling? I didn't say you were involved in the missing baby case."
"Your Excellency is very observant. I really have nothing to do with this matter." Butcher Zhu did not stand up. He lowered his head and only a pair of black boots could be seen.
Shan Qingfeng lifted the white cloth covering the meat stall.
Pork belly, pork ribs, and even front and back leg meat were neatly divided and placed on the table.
He covered it with the white cloth again.
"Why did you buy a piglet? It only has two ounces of meat on it, so it can't even make back the money you put into it, right?"
"Your Excellency doesn't know that although piglets don't have much meat, they are extremely tender and taste better than big pigs. Naturally, there will be people who like them and offer to buy them." Butcher Zhu said in a low voice.
Su Yun shuddered, and goose bumps appeared all over her body.
[For some reason, I felt a little scared when I heard Butcher Zhu say this.]
Shan Qingfeng snorted, "Really?"
"Of course, that's something you haven't eaten before. Once you taste it, you'll be reluctant to leave." Butcher Zhu raised his head.
He was a big and strong man with a scar between his eyebrows, so his smile was really creepy.
