“Let’s make an assumption: Wang Changfu first finds out about Wang Dashun’s family and often comes to their house at night. Then, on the day of the incident, he comes in and first takes care of the big yellow dog, then the livestock. His accomplice then appears. That way, the neighbors won’t know anything, right?”
"However, this is just speculation. Have He Gang and He Qiang keep an eye on Wang Changfu these next two days. If they don't find anything, we'll tell Lord Qin about the purse and ask him to order a search to find out Wang Changfu's relationship with Wang Zhangshi. In terms of seniority, Wang Changfu is Wang Zhangshi's cousin, so he has no right to carry Wang Zhangshi's things."
Zheng Qiu nodded after hearing what she said.
Time flies when you're busy. By the time their carriage entered the city, it was already late afternoon. Lu Zheng was leaning against the city wall, feeling bored, but he immediately perked up when he saw the driver.
The carriage belonged to the Gu family, and the driver naturally recognized Lu Zheng. When he saw Lu Zheng coming, he stopped the carriage.
"Xin Xin." Before Gu Xin could ask what was wrong, Lu Zheng lifted the carriage curtain with a big smile.
He thought only Gu Xin and Dong Xue were there, but he didn't expect Zheng Qiu to be there too, and the smile on his face didn't disappear for a moment.
“Young Master Lu.” Zheng Qiu nodded to Lu Zheng.
“Young Master Zheng, you’re here too!” Lu Zheng’s expression was normal now.
"Brother Yuanyuan, what brings you here? Didn't we agree that I would wait for you at the yamen?" Gu Xin didn't expect Lu Zheng to be waiting for her at the city gate.
"I just went to do some errands and didn't go back to the yamen. I was thinking of taking you out for a nice meal tonight, so I came over," Lu Zheng explained.
Gu Xin was delighted to hear that there was something delicious to eat and even invited Zheng Qiu to go with her.
Zheng Qiu recalled watching the two of them eating so affectionately last night and shook his head without hesitation: "Third Young Master and Young Master Lu can go. I haven't finished organizing the report from this morning yet; I'll go organize it and hand it over to Lord Qin in a bit."
Gu Xin regretfully said that she would definitely treat her to something to eat after the case was over.
Then she instructed the driver to take Zheng Qiu back, and told Dongxue to go back and tell her that she had gone to have dinner with Lu Zheng and would go home after dinner.
The carriage departed, and the two began strolling hand in hand.
"Brother Yuanyuan, let me tell you, I made several discoveries today that even Lord Qin didn't make!" Gu Xin excitedly recounted her day's events to Lu Zheng in detail.
“My initial deduction is that the murderer is Wang Changfu and two nephews from Wang Liu’s maternal family. However, there is no evidence yet, and even the murder weapon has not been found. But it will be soon; I have already assigned people to monitor Wang Changfu,” Gu Xin said.
"Didn't you say that Lord Qin gave those two people a ladder that they couldn't even get onto the roof? Aren't you afraid they'll be discovered spying on people?" Lu Zheng asked with a smile.
"No, although their combat skills are too low, they are both quite clever. I trust them. Xiao Qiu also said that they are quite good at this." Gu Xin waved her hand and said.
After chatting for a while, they arrived at the place where Lu Zheng had invited Gu Xin to dinner—a small restaurant.
When the restaurant owner saw Lu Zheng arrive, she greeted him warmly: "Young Master, you're here! Come over here, we've saved you a seat by the window."
Lu Zheng nodded: "Thank you for your help, Aunt Yu."
After saying that, he pulled Gu Xin to the window where the female shopkeeper pointed.
After sitting down, Lu Zheng introduced her to the female shopkeeper: "Aunt Yu, this is Xin Xin, my fiancée."
The female shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and she quickly bowed to Gu Xin: "This humble woman greets Princess Xin Xin!"
