Yun Zhizhi rushed out of the room, immediately found He Ping'an, and whispered a few words in his ear.
After hearing the instructions, He Ping'an was very surprised that the young lady knew the location of the murder suspect's hiding place, but he did not ask any further questions.
He simply nodded, then turned and ran straight towards the government office.
at the same time.
The atmosphere inside the Censorate was unusually somber and oppressive.
A group of guards dressed in black were kneeling neatly on the ground, their heads bowed, not daring to raise their heads easily.
"How's the search going?"
The head of the guards, Zhao Shi, had a solemn expression. He slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed firmly on Zhao Yunjin sitting above him, and spoke in a serious tone:
"Your Majesty, your subordinates and the people from the Ministry of Justice have searched almost the entire capital, but we still haven't found any trace of the suspect, Wei Tong."
"What other places haven't been searched?"
Zhao Shi frowned and pondered for a moment before answering truthfully: "Currently, only Xu's Wine Shop and Chen's Wine Shop have not been searched."
Zhao Yunjin narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped the table lightly with his right index finger, as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment, his gaze fell directly on Zhao Shi, his tone calm yet carrying a hint of authority: "Remember, sometimes, the most dangerous place is also the safest place."
"I hope you won't make the same mistake again next time."
Zhao Shi immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Your subordinate knows he was wrong. We will go to Xu's and Chen's wine shops to search for them."
Just then, Zhao San entered the council hall and reported: "Master, someone from the yamen has come to inform us that an anonymous citizen has provided a clue, saying that the suspect is hiding in Xu's Wine Shop."
After listening, Zhao Yunjin frowned slightly, her expression indifferent, and said in a cold voice, "What are you all still standing here for?"
After a group of guards quickly left.
Zhao Yunjin instructed his guard Zhao San, "Go and investigate that anonymous citizen."
"Yes, Master."
The next day, the sun shone brightly and the weather was clear.
At the end of Chen Shi (7-9 AM), Yun Zhizhi was getting ready when Xiao Tao hurriedly entered the room.
Although she was panting heavily, she couldn't hide the smile on her face: "Miss, the murder case has finally been solved! Can we head over to Xu's stall in front of the restaurant later?"
While looking in the bronze mirror, Yun Zhizhi applied orange-red lipstick to herself. Only after she finished did she answer, "I'm not setting up my stall today."
Seeing Xiao Tao's puzzled expression, Yun Zhizhi smiled and patiently explained, "Don't worry, within a day, people will come to buy them. We're not worried about not being able to sell the remaining lipsticks and essential oils."
After all, the system's task of setting up a stall had already ended. If she were to set up a stall in front of Xu's Wine Shop again, wouldn't she be a complete fool?
On the other side, just as He Yang was about to go out to find Yun Zhizhi, he was stopped by a servant in the mansion.
"Second Young Master, Madam is looking for you."
He Yang frowned slightly, but still followed the servant to the back garden.
He could see his mother and cousin sitting in the pavilion from afar, each holding a small bottle. They carefully poured something into their palms, rubbed it, and then applied it to their skin.
"Aunt, I've heard that if you use camellia essential oil consistently for a period of time, it can make your skin whiter and smoother, and it also has sleep-aiding and calming effects. As for rose essential oil, it also has beauty and skin-nourishing effects."
After saying that, Xie Rongrong glanced around casually. When she saw He Yang, she immediately complained to Madam He, "Aunt, my cousin bullied me."
He Yang rolled his eyes. "When did I bully you?"
“I know everything. The essential oils you sell at your stalls outside are only three taels of silver a bottle, but you charged me five taels of silver, a full two taels more. It’s outrageous! I don’t care, you have to give me two lipsticks as compensation.”
Oh no!
She still found out.
He Yang could only reply with a grin, "Alright!"
Madam He, watching their interaction, chimed in, "Yang'er, give your mother two lipsticks and a bottle of essential oil."
She never expected that Zhizhi would actually make rouge and face powder, and that it would be so popular.
He Yang turned to look at her, teasing her with a smug look on his face, "Mother, didn't you not trust the eldest son before?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Madam He's face, but she quickly recovered. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have questioned Zhizhi's abilities."
He Yang pressed on, "So, do you still think we were just messing around?"
Madam He quickly shook her head: "No, you should listen to Zhizhi from now on and learn more from her, even if you only learn a little bit."
It seems my son has really chosen the right person this time. Thinking back, he and Zhizhi often went out to play together, causing quite a bit of trouble.
For this reason, she has repeatedly advised her son to keep his distance from Zhizhi.
However, the situation is quite different now.
Looking at the bare flowers in the back garden, He Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt.
He couldn't help but begin to suspect that his mother was doing it on purpose.
I deliberately chose to meet him in the back garden, so that he would be forced to recall the incident of stealing flowers. That way, I wouldn't be afraid that he would refuse.
"Okay! Actually, yesterday, the boss gave me some lipsticks and essential oils to bring back for you guys to use."
"I chose the shades that suit your age and temperament based on your mother, grandmother, and cousin. Especially for your mother, the shade I chose for you is a true red."
Upon hearing the color code, Madam He smiled with satisfaction: "Yang'er really knows how to handle things."
