Chapter 35 I Want to Redress My Injustice (Part )
Changshan's mother and daughter-in-law looked flustered and at a loss, but it was obvious that they had no opinion of their own. They looked at the ferocious-looking yamen runner beside Su Liuyue and could only nod.

Changshan's home is very small, just a dilapidated, narrow house covered with moss. Because Changshan's mother is in poor health, Su Liuyue did not let her lead the way, but asked Mrs. Sun, who led them here, to help take care of Changshan's mother outside.

Changshan's wife led them into the house. As soon as they entered the door, there was a small hall with a room on each side. The room on the left was where Changshan's mother lived, and the room on the right was where Changshan and his wife lived.

It was obvious that the furniture in the house was quite old. The dining table they placed in the small living room was even crooked, and three of the four legs had things padding underneath. It seemed that Chang Youde and his parents had passed away one after another, leaving them an orphan and a widow, and their life was indeed very difficult.

When they came over just now, Sister Sun also told them about the situation of Changshan and his mother over the years.

After Chang Youde passed away, Changshan's mother made a living by renting the mule cart to the neighbors and doing some sewing and mending work. Fortunately, most of the neighbors were nice people and felt very sorry for them as an orphan and a widow, so they would help them from time to time, which is how they managed to survive all these years.

Later, when Changshan grew up, he was able to work outside to help support the family, and their life became better.

The Changshan couple's room was also very small, with only a wooden bed and a few shabby boxes for storing things placed at the head of the bed.

Su Liuyue took a quick look around and then asked the yamen runners beside him to search through the boxes.

Changshan's daughter-in-law stood beside Su Liuyue with a pale face, her ten fingers twisted together, looking uneasy.

Soon, one of the yamen runners made a discovery. He lifted up a pillow on the bed and saw a piece of...dirty-looking cloth hidden under the pillow, and there was obviously something painted on the cloth!
The bailiff hurried to Su Liuyue and handed her the cloth with both hands, "Young Master Su, I found this thing!"

Su Liuyue grabbed the cloth and her eyes widened slightly when she saw what was drawn on it.

However, the cloth was covered with messy lines painted with rough strokes. Most of them were wavy lines with some up and some down, and a few were straight lines. The clearest thing on it was the one in the middle that looked like a small house.

This actually looks like a...topographic map!

Those wavy lines, the high ones are mountains, and the low and dense ones look like rivers.

And that small house, if she guessed correctly, was the safe house that Changshan and his son used to imprison and kill their victims!
When Changshan's wife saw the cloth, her face turned even paler, and her voice began to sob. "This... This was something my husband accidentally found in an old box in my mother-in-law's room before we fled the capital. My mother-in-law only knew that it was something left by my father-in-law, but she didn't know what it was, so my husband... took it away... For a while, he looked at this cloth almost every night..."

Su Liuyue glanced at her and immediately called the yamen runners over, asking them if they could recognize where the topographic map showed.

However, the lines on it were too rough and too sloppy. Rather than a topographic map, it looked more like a bored kid's doodle. Several yamen runners looked at it for a long time and said with a sad face: "Young Master Su, you really stumped us. Daqing is so big, let alone other places, even the terrain near the capital, we... are not very clear.

Unless you are someone who specializes in drawing topographic maps or is often exposed to topographic maps, no one can tell at a glance where this is..."

Su Liuyue was slightly stunned and stared at the yamen runner who was speaking for a long time, which made him a little uneasy. When she was about to ask him if he had said something wrong, Su Liuyue suddenly turned around and walked out quickly.

Ping Shaoyin was standing in the yard with one hand behind his back, his back straight. His fierce and aloof temperament was totally out of place in this small and shabby yard. Seeing Su Liuyue coming out and walking towards him quickly, Ping Shaoyin was slightly startled, his brows slightly frowned, and he subconsciously wanted to step back.

"Stop, don't retreat, I have something important to talk to you about!"

Su Liuyue gritted her teeth in annoyance, ignoring Ping Shaoyin's sharp eyes, and walked to a place exactly three steps away from him, and handed him the rag in her hand. "We found something that looks like a topographic map in Changshan's room. I suspect that the house drawn on it is where Chang Youde and his son imprisoned and killed their victims. Can you guess where this is?"

After a pause, she seemed to have thought of something and said, "If you think it's dirty, I'll hold it up for you to see..."

Before she finished her words, the man not far away glanced at her indifferently, stretched out his hand and took the dirty cloth leisurely.

Su Liuyue: “…”

Here it comes again, here it comes again. She always can't help but wonder whether this guy's mysophobia is fake.

Ping Shaoyin spread out the cloth, his eyes suddenly became sharp and focused, and after a moment, he said with certainty: "This is a forest near Luoxiapo outside Xinjing City. The mountain above is the northern section of the Yanshan Mountain Range, and this river is the Luosha River."

Everyone couldn't help but look at Ping Shaoyin in surprise. One of the yamen runners who came out with Su Liuyue couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "You really are worthy of being the emperor... ahem, Ping Shaoyin!"

Ping Shaoyin glanced at him with cold eyes, threw the rag in his hand to the yamen runner, pulled out a clean towel from his waist and wiped his hands, and said in a calm voice: "Why don't you send someone to Luoxia Slope to find the house on the topographic map! Why do you want me to take action for such a trivial matter?"

Upon hearing this, several yamen runners stood up straight, saluted and said, "Yes! I'll go right away!"

After saying that, they rushed out of the Chang family.

Don’t miss this ready-made opportunity to make a contribution!

The yard, which had seemed a little cramped due to too many people, suddenly became a lot more spacious.

Ping Shaoyin looked at Su Liuyue with complicated eyes and said, "You..."

Before he finished speaking, Feng Dali's excited voice came from outside, "Shao Yin Ping! Young Master Su! We successfully captured Changshan! Damn, even though that grandson is skinny and small, he runs like the wind and scurries around like a mouse. We are not familiar with the terrain around here and almost lost him just now!"

Upon hearing this, Su Liuyue hurried outside and saw Feng Dali carrying Changshan like a chick not far away, followed by Lulu and another yamen runner who went with them to chase someone, walking towards them in big strides.

Changshan was still struggling there, his face livid as he shouted heartbreakingly, "I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill anyone! What right do you have to say that I killed those women?! I...I want justice!"
