Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt
Chapter 172 Reporting
"Wait a minute, let me figure it out."
After listening to Li Qing's words, Shen Xuanheng fell into deep thought. He sorted out the existing clues one by one and then deduced them one by one.
First, Li Qing killed Xu You, but did not poison him. Moreover, his mind was controlled by a poisonous insect, making him a scapegoat who surrendered himself to the police.
This shows that the person behind the scenes must be proficient in the art of controlling poison and good at making poisons, otherwise the ice worm poison would be difficult to explain.
She can control poisons and is proficient in poison techniques, so the suspicion of Zhao Qiankun's senior sister became even greater.
At this point, new doubts arise, but how did Zhao Qiankun's senior sister know that Li Qing and the Xu family had a grudge?
Li Qing obviously did not tell anyone else about Xu You's murder, otherwise Widow Zhao would not have looked so surprised, and Xu Mo was even less likely to tell anyone.
In this case, only Gyeonggi Prefecture knew about this.
After all, Xu Mo had reported the case in the beginning, but the case was withdrawn in the end. The government would not investigate unless the people reported it, and no files were left behind. However, there must have been people who knew about it, such as the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture!
Thinking of this, Shen Xuanheng had a headache. The prefect who knew about this had been killed by him a few months ago...
wrong!
Shen Xuanheng's thoughts progressed step by step, and he thought of another possibility. The former governor of Jingji Prefecture was Xu Younian's man. If Xu Younian knew about this matter, then the third prince might also know about it.
Thinking of this, Shen Xuanheng suddenly felt that everything fell into place.
On the day of the poisoning case in the capital, the eldest prince and the third prince both came to the Ministry of Justice, one to quell public grievances and the other to show goodwill. At that time, Shen Xuanheng found it strange that this matter would cause the two princes to come in turn.
If you think about this case carefully and get to the bottom of it, it is very likely that the case was aimed at him as the Minister of Justice.
The poisoning case was just a shadow. The matter was confusing at the beginning, and Xu Mo was caught in the vortex of suspects. Minister Xu of the Ministry of Justice had always advocated convicting Xu Mo. Once he listened to him, Xu Mo would be beheaded immediately.
If Li Qing was thrown out like a puppet at this time, then he, as the Minister of Justice, would inevitably be charged with lax handling of cases and wrongful death.
Therefore, this poisoning case was most likely planned by the Third Prince in order to remove him from the position of Minister of Justice!
Shen Xuanheng's eyes turned cold and anger grew in his heart.
The Third Prince had ulterior motives. He pretended to be friendly on the surface, but secretly plotted to put him in a desperate situation.
"Everyone, I have a plan for this matter."
Half an hour later, Su Xuqing left the Ministry of Justice and fell asleep in the carriage.
Shen Xuanheng had her own plans for the case, and she had no role to play in it, so she left first.
After returning to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, Su Xuqing hadn't even had time to relax when a servant came to report that there was a man outside the mansion who claimed to be Yinhuan's cousin and was eager to see Yinhuan. It seemed that something had happened in her family.
Su Xuqing frowned when she heard the announcement from the doorman.
She glanced at Yinhuan and said hesitantly, "Yinhuan, I remember there is no one left in your family. The old house has been sold a long time ago. Your father is also in the palace. What else could have happened?"
Yinhuan was also a little confused, shaking her head like a rattle, "I don't know either."
Seeing that Yinhuan also had no clue, Su Xuqing had no choice but to ask the doorman to bring someone in.
The person who came was a young man in shorts. When he entered the palace, his whole body was tense and his face was full of awe.
When Yinhuan saw this person, she said happily: "Brother Dazhuang, why are you here?"
Da Zhuang's dark face was full of sorrow. "Yinhuan, I came here this time to tell you something. I don't know what happened a few days ago, but there were suddenly many weasels in our village. Your mother's grave was dug out by weasels. The village chief thought it was unlucky and wanted to dig up your mother's grave and burn the coffin and bones. I took a bullock cart to the capital overnight, you should go back and take a look."
Yinhuan's delicate brows were furrowed, and her chest heaved up and down, obviously she was very angry.
Su Xuqing's beautiful eyes were also filled with anger. "He dug up someone's grave without informing them in advance. The head of Shanshui Village is quite courageous."
Yinhuan shook her head upon hearing this, "Princess, my mother is buried near my grandmother's village, and has nothing to do with Shanshui Village."
"The Crown Princess..."
Yinhuan looked at Su Xuqing pitifully, and her meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Su Xuqing stood up suddenly and said coldly, "You can go back, but I want to go with you. I want to see what kind of unruly people are willing to burn people's corpses without saying a word."
Yinhuan was filled with gratitude when she saw that the Crown Princess cared so much about her.
"Princess, my grandmother's home is not close to the capital. The mountains are high and the road is long and bumpy. Why don't we just forget it?"
"How about that?"
Su Xuqing flicked her sleeves and immediately ordered, "Taozi, go pack your bags. I'll send someone to tell the prince, and we'll set off immediately."
As he spoke, Su Xuqing glanced at Da Zhuang, took out a silver ingot and placed it on the table, "You have done a great job in reporting the news, this is a reward for you."
When Da Zhuang saw the silver, his eyes lit up and he quickly grabbed it in his hand, as if he was afraid that the silver would run away.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
So half an hour later, a team of carriages and horses were ready to set off in front of the palace.
Because they were going on a long journey, Su Xuqing was worried about encountering thieves, so she asked the old prince's wife for a team of guards.
After helping Su Xuqing onto the carriage, Yinhuan looked at Dazhuang and said softly, "Brother Dazhuang, do you want to go back with us?"
Da Zhuang shook his head and said, "No, the village chief didn't allow me to tell you the news. If I go back with you, he will definitely cause trouble for me in the future. I'd better find a job in the capital to avoid the limelight."
Seeing that he had his own ideas, Yinhuan did not force him, and the two parted in front of the mansion gate.
Da Zhuang stood on the street and watched the Crown Princess' carriage gradually go away, with a cold smile on his lips.
He weighed the silver in his hand, walked towards the south of the city, turned several turns in a quiet alley, and came to a long-abandoned courtyard.
Here, a man in black is waiting for him.
"How are things going?"
Da Zhuang smiled flatteringly, "Sir, Yin Huan has returned home, and the Crown Prince's wife has gone with her."
The man in black suddenly turned around, his eyes shining.
"Hahaha, now His Highness the Third Prince knows he should be happy."
Seeing that the man in black looked very satisfied, Da Zhuang rubbed his hands like a fly.
"The one thousand taels that the master promised to give me..."
The man in black paused and laughed.
"Don't worry, I won't miss you."
As he spoke, the man in black reached into his arms and took out the silver bill.
Da Zhuang's eyes were filled with anticipation and his heart was beating faster. That was one thousand taels, enough for him to buy a house anywhere in the Great Zhou and marry a few beautiful women.
However, just as his ambitions began to unfold in his mind, the man in black pulled out a dagger and cut off all his expectations.
"you!"
Blood splattered everywhere and Da Zhuang covered his throat with horror. He wanted to curse unwillingly, but when his lips moved, only scarlet blood flowed out of his mouth.
