Chapter 85: Lord Song Catches the Traitor
When Song Yunchu turned to look at Chu Yunni, he saw him thinking and thought he was thinking about how to catch the traitor in the shop.
Outsiders should not have the opportunity to tamper with these clothes. There are so many problems with the clothes, there must be a traitor among the guys.
"When you recruited employees, did you investigate their backgrounds?"
Chu Yuni came back to her senses and quickly responded, "Of course I have checked their backgrounds. After all, my family has a big business and we can't hire any messy people. Besides, the guys will supervise each other. If anyone is lazy or dishonest, my father will not keep them."
"So, the one who had the opportunity to touch these clothes should be the senior one among the guys. He has the final say and could find a reason to transfer the others away so that he could do something. Or, he could be cunning and drug the others while they were sleeping so that they would sleep more deeply and not be discovered."
"Your Excellency is right. I will immediately send people to search the place where the men live to see if there is anything like knockout drugs."
"A search alone is not enough. Do you think anyone would leave the drugs in their house after giving them to others? It would be more appropriate to just throw away such important evidence."
Song Yunchu waved his folding fan and fanned slowly, "Call all the guys out. Miss Jiang just said that this material that destroys silk is called Tianxuan grass. This herb is mostly found growing in the wild. It has a characteristic that people or objects that come into contact with it will have a special smell that can last up to two or three days."
"So long?" Chu Yuni was quite surprised. "You mean to call them all out so that Miss Jiang can find this person by smell?"
"Of course. Haven't you just seen Miss Jiang's abilities?"
"That's great! Please wait, I'll go and call someone right away!"
Chu Yuni was excited, but she was also gritting her teeth.
The Chu family shop has never treated its employees harshly. I don't know which traitor would dare to betray the Chu family.
Soon, all the guys were gathered together by Chu Yuni.
Song Yunchu swept his eyes over the twenty-odd people in front of him and said in a cold tone, "You all saw what happened today. The Chu family was framed and suffered heavy losses. It was all because of someone among you who betrayed his master for fame and fortune. Your master just said that if the person who did this has no choice but to do so, he might consider giving him a lighter sentence. It's not too late for you to come out and admit it now. If you don't admit it, then wait for Miss Jiang to find you out."
After Song Yunchu finished speaking, still no one acknowledged it.
"You don't want to come forward, right? Then I'll have to trouble Miss Jiang."
Song Yunchu winked at Jiang Rumin.
Jiang Rumin understood and started checking the first waiter's hands.
She checked more than ten people, most of whom were calm. When she checked the hands of the next female waitress, she saw abrasions on her palms, which were obviously new and bleeding.
She frowned slightly and asked the waitress, "What's wrong with your palm?"
"Miss Jiang, I just accidentally fell in the backyard. I was about to apply medicine when the young master called me over to gather together."
"Really?" Jiang Rumin sniffed her palm, then looked up and said in a serious tone, "You lied."
The girl's eyes tightened, "I didn't, they all saw me fall!"
"It's true that you fell, but you didn't fall accidentally. You fell on purpose. You hurt your palm because you wanted to cover up the smell of herbs in your hand with the smell of blood. Do you think I can't smell it? You really underestimate my sense of smell."
Jiang Rumin said, turning to Song Yunchu and said with certainty, "Sir Song, it's her!"
Song Yunchu said: "Catch her!"
At her command, two guards immediately pulled the female servant out of the crowd and brought her in front of her.
"Please spare my life, sir!" The female servant saw that she could no longer hide herself, and her legs were shaking with fear as she begged for mercy. "I don't want to betray you, sir. I have my own reasons! I..."
Seeing that Song Yunchu had a cold expression, she turned her gaze to Chu Yuni, "Sir, I have worked diligently for the Chu family for five years. Please forgive me this time! My family member is seriously ill, and I discussed with the shopkeeper whether he could lend me a year's salary first. The shopkeeper did not agree, and I really had no choice. A mysterious person paid for my family's medical treatment, so I..."
"So you betrayed the Chu family and destroyed the clothes in the shop to repay the so-called mysterious man?"
Chu Yuni laughed angrily, "The wages paid by my shop are higher than those of other shops. You and the shopkeeper can't borrow money, why don't you visit your other relatives and friends? I don't accept your so-called difficulties! If you told me about the mysterious man earlier, I might be willing to help you, but you insisted on listening to him, isn't it because he pays more money?"
"Sir, I..."
"That's enough. I don't want to hear it." Chu Yuni interrupted her coldly and turned to look at Song Yunchu. "What do you think should be done?"
"This female clerk framed her boss and caused the store to face heavy losses. She will definitely not be able to pay back the money. You really don't need to show mercy to such a subordinate. Just deal with her according to the court laws and hand her over to the Dali Temple for trial. Lord Tang will naturally make a fair judgment on the sentence."
"Okay." Chu Yuni nodded in agreement, no longer paying attention to the guy's pleas for mercy, and had her escorted out directly.
Things finally calmed down. Chu Yuni sorted out her feelings and bowed to Song Yunchu, "Thank you very much for today's matter, Lord Song."
Song Yunchu smiled and said, "Today's hero is Miss Jiang. You can thank her later."
"I only discovered the problem with the clothes, but it was Lord Song who actually found out the traitor."
Jiang Rumin explained, "That's indeed the smell of Tianxuan grass on the clothes. The smell of this herb can remain on clothes because the clothes have been soaked for a long time. But on people's hands, there is no smell at all. They come into contact with water three times a day, so if you wash your hands a few more times, the smell will be gone."
"Lord Song just made up a story and acted out a play with me. He wanted to test whether there was anyone who was guilty of stealing. As you saw, people with a clear conscience were very calm. Only those who were guilty would try every means to cover up their guilt and be exposed as soon as they cheated."
Chu Yuni was stunned.
So that's what's going on... She really thought Miss Jiang's nose was so sharp that she could smell the smell of medicine and blood mixed together.
It turned out that the female waitress was too clever for her own good and revealed the flaw.
"Master Song's method really saves time and effort."
Chu Yunni admired Song Yunchu even more.
Song Yunchu said, "Okay, you should quickly clean up this mess at home, and then go back to the Mingjing Division and do your job well. The mastermind behind the frame-up of your family is not so easy to catch, but you have to remember this grudge, there will always be a chance to repay it in the future."
The female waiter only mentioned the "mysterious man", so no matter how the Dali Temple interrogated and tortured her, it would be in vain. In the end, only the female waiter was convicted, and the mastermind behind the scenes remained hidden.
This damn author treats the scumbag too well. Others always take the blame for him while he gets away with it.
Song Yunchu left the Chu family shop with an unhappy mood.
Jiang Rumin also said goodbye to Chu Yuni and left.
Chu Yuni asked someone to burn all the clothes that Jiang Rumin had picked out, and then went home to visit her sick father and told her family the good news that the shop had been cleared of the accusation.
Mrs. Chu was quite moved. "This Lord Song really cares about his subordinates. He is willing to come to the scene in person to handle our family's affairs. Yuni, you must thank Lord Song and Miss Jiang."
"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely thank them."
Miss Jiang's side was easy to deal with. He turned around and told his men to take care of her business. She would definitely not be able to hide the fact that she was pretending to be sick, but as long as she said that she was buying tonics for her family and specifically bought those with high profits, Miss Jiang would be able to earn more.
As for Lord Song...hehe.
Late that night, Chu Yuni changed into an inconspicuous set of coarse cloth clothes, put on a fake beard, and went to the most famous brothel in the east of the city - Avon Pavilion.
The clerk at Avon Court was reluctant to pay attention to him because of his shabby appearance, until he calmly threw a gold ingot to the clerk.
"Oh, Master, you are so generous! What do you need? Just ask."
"Keep your voice down. I don't want to make any noise. Find me a private room and bring the most delicate and fair-skinned girls here to let me have a look. Remember, we don't want big and strong girls, those with dark skin, and those who have served others."
