The next day, Su Mu discovered that he was sick again.

"Brother Su, are you up yet? Sang Xin from the Thrush Workshop came to report the clue to the human face case. " Lin Yi's voice came from outside the door.

Su Mu replied and casually splashed water on his face. His mind instantly became much clearer.

When he opened the door, Lin Yi was still waiting outside, his body half turned. The morning light shone on his face, as if his face had been plated with gold.

Sang Xin sat in the main hall with two maidservants standing behind him and County Magistrate Ge sitting at the head of the table.

"Yingying has a high spirit, she has offended many people, and they are often at odds. Wushuang of Flowing Mist Pavilion has a benefactor, whose name I am not sure, but that benefactor originally wanted to marry Wu-Shuang, but after seeing her, he changed his mind, and even rarely goes to Flowing Mist Pavilion, so Wushuang really hates Yingying." "Yingying lives next door to me. My makeup is quite complicated, so I began preparing early. On the third show, the son of the King of Western Regions, Liu Zilan, came to her room and stopped there for a long time. Half an incense stick of time later, Liu ZiLan left, and Yingying even threw her cup to the ground, sending all the maids away."

"Liu Zichen has always wanted to take Yingying as his concubine, and Yingying has always been in love with a scholar. He has always been unwilling to do so, but mother has been forcing her these past few days, so she's starting to have a sense of obedience."

Sang Xin spoke for a long time before giving a very detailed explanation. "A lot of them were asked by me, so they should be quite reliable. You guys can consider which ones you can trust."

If someone from the government asked about it, it would definitely take a lot of effort. However, Sang Xin was different, she was a person from the thrush shop.

Even though Su Mu didn't notice the abnormality last night, he couldn't help but wonder: If Sang Xin wasn't elder sister Zi Yu, why would she be so diligent?

"I hope that you can solve this case as soon as possible and don't delay the thrush business from earning money." Sang Xin lowered her head slightly as she looked at the teacup in her hand. She didn't want to have anything to do with Su Mu.

"Miss Sang Xin is indeed very righteous. I will not disappoint you." County Magistrate Ge stood up.

Sang Xin put down his teacup, turned, and left with the two maidservants.

"This person is really strange. He's not afraid of being beaten to death by the bawd even after talking so much." He had seen many cases that occurred in brothels. None of the brothels wanted to provide any clues, and all they wanted to do was hide it from the world. Once, a maidservant provided an important clue. When she wanted to testify in court, she found out that she was already dead. When she checked, she was beaten to death by the Brothel Keeper.

Su Mu heard the county magistrate mumbling and asked Zhou Ye to go with him.

Sure enough, the old procuress was already waiting for him. When she saw him return, she scolded him, "You little b * tch, don't think that I wouldn't dare to do anything to you just because there's someone protecting you. You haven't even gone to the capital yet and you dare to sell your thrush shop.

With a wave of his hand, a guard immediately rushed forward and planted a foot on Sang Xin's knee. Sang Xin immediately fell to his knees. Sang Xin didn't care about these things, he still didn't dare to beat her to death.

Zhou Ye saw that something was wrong and immediately stood up. Zhou Ye had met her yesterday, and the old procuress had some impression of him.

"Yo, why does the government still have to bother about my thrush shop?" The bawd was not afraid. All the people in the workshop had a contract in her hands, and as long as she didn't risk her life, the government would not care about her.

"She is an important witness in the human face case. I am ordered to protect her safety. Anyone who dares to attack her is trying to cover up for the culprit." With a straight face, Zhou Ye stood in front of Sang Xin and gave her a hand.

Sang Xin took the opportunity to stand up and gently thank Zhou Ye. Zhou Ye's ears immediately reddened, and he held it in for a long time before saying: "No need to thank me."

On the other side, Su Mu saw that there was nothing else to do, so he told County Scholar Ge that he planned on going back to his room to continue sleeping. Ever since she and Lin Yi had come to Wu City, the murders in Wu City had happened so frequently. After dealing with two cases consecutively, Su Mu was extremely tired and this illness was a reminder to her. Su Mu was never one to treat his body as a joke. It was not easy to obtain a life, so he couldn't casually trample on it.

Su Mu walked out. His footsteps were a bit unstable, but luckily, he was safely in his room. Su Mu raised his head and slept soundly. Seeing that Su Mu was about to miss dinner, Lin Yi was worried and ran to Su Mu's room to call for someone, but there was no response.

Lin Yi couldn't stop worrying. He took the key from County Magistrate Ge and opened the door. He saw Su Mu lying on the bed. His face was flushed red as he kept shouting something.

Lin Yi quickly ran out to find a servant and ordered him to find a doctor. He was afraid that the servant would not give his all, so he even gave him some silver.

Just when Su Mu was looking for a doctor, someone reported that a corpse similar to the thrush shop was found in the Flowing Mist Pavilion. The deceased was Wu-shuang, who had always held a grudge against Yingying. However, when Wushuang discovered this late, the blood had already dried up.

Lin Yi squatted on the floor and fried the medicine while saying so.

"This murderer is such a waste!" Why would you cut your face off for! " Bao Fu Cheng lowered his head and stamped his feet.

"In that case, I'll leave this case to you. You are not allowed to tell Brother Su about this, and you are not allowed to ask Brother Su for help." Lin Yi carefully stirred the medicine with a wooden spoon. This was already his third pot of medicine. The first two times it was either too much water or too little water, so he could only pour it out.

"Can't you find a servant to do this? This kind of work doesn't suit you. " Bao Fu Cheng always felt that Lin Yi's attitude towards Su Mu wasn't right, but he never dared to think about it. How could Lin Yi do something that went against the rules and regulations of the world?

Seeing that the medicine was almost done frying, he took a wet cloth and placed it on the handle of the claypot, slowly pouring the medicine out, but still accidentally scalded the back of his hand, instantly creating a bubble. Lin Yi endured the pain and poured the medicine into the bowl.

"Even if Su Mu is a rare talent, you don't need to curry favor with her." Bao Fusheng put away his usual smile as he looked at Lin Yi seriously.

"This is not fawning. I know. " Lin Yi didn't want to tell Bao Fu that Su Mu was a girl, so it was fine as long as he knew the secret.

Su Mu was still sleeping. Lin Yi put the medicine on the side and looked at her face. Su Moyu thought too much. Even when she was asleep, she still felt nervous …
