Leng Yuebai took the message handed over by Jiang Zhinian and looked at it carefully.

"I know there are always some news in the market that we can't find."

"Often these people's opinions can help us analyze important clues."

Jiang Zhinian nodded and began to read the file, which recorded some information about the Song family.

Because he had heard some news about the Song family before, Jiang Zhinian knew which information to focus on when he looked at the detailed files again.

"The Song family's ancestral home is Muzhou, northwest of the capital..."

"There are only two branches of the Song family living in the capital now. The direct branch is Song Xiangjian and his eldest brother's family. The clan members live in Muzhou. His parents died nineteen years ago."

"The records show that he was returning to his ancestral land to worship his ancestors. It was winter and the weather was freezing cold. He died suddenly on the way."

"His eldest brother died eighteen years ago. He returned to the clan to collect the body for them, and then observed mourning in the clan. He also brought his eldest sister-in-law and nephew back to the capital."

"A year later, he rescued the princess. Song Xiangjian's grandfather actually joined the army, but he died on the battlefield..."

"Song Xiangjian's father studied and passed the imperial examination, became an official and married his boss's daughter. He was a fifth-rank official in the capital, which was mediocre. Later, Song Xiangjian's parents died, and the Song family fell into decline. Although Mr. Song was a minor official in the Ministry of Justice, because of Song Xiangjian's relationship, Mr. Song was promoted to the sixth-rank director of the Ministry of Justice, which was very inconspicuous..."

Jiang Zhinian looked at the information carefully.

I instinctively felt that there were many things wrong.

"The deaths of his parents and his eldest brother were all somewhat strange."

"With the wealth of the Song family, he would not have died suddenly on the road. And his elder brother, with his talent for studying, would have passed the imperial examination and become a second-class Jinshi."

“But he died suddenly.”

Leng Yuebai nodded and said, "I also think there is a problem. I have sent someone to Muzhou to investigate the Song family's affairs."

"Although I often went to the palace before, and Song Xiangjian was the consort of Princess Mindai, to be honest, we rarely paid attention to this person."

"Inconspicuous, doing things in a standard way."

"I asked my parents, but they didn't have any impression either."

"Even during the palace banquet, he sat with Princess Mindai, and there was nothing strange about it."

"I don't really talk to people."

"I don't really have any impression of anything else, so this Song Xiangjian is very strange. Other princes-in-law are not like this."

"Especially if the family background is low, they will definitely try to make friends with many powerful people and make plans for their own family. He is almost devoted to the princess, as if he really loves her deeply."

“But I feel like something is not right.”

"My parents have a good relationship, but not like Princess Min Dai and Song Xiang Jian."

Leng Yuebai didn't understand much about love, but after investigating the affairs of Princess Mindai and Song Xiangjian, he instinctively felt strange.

Leng Yuebai looked at the information Jiang Zhinian gave him again. It said that when they were in the cold drink shop, some noble families discussed the matter of Princess Mindai and Song Xiangjian.

"Song Xiangjian is very strict with his nephew, but he is so lax with his daughter. He has raised her to be spoiled and arrogant. Everyone knows that Yan Sisi is very spoiled."

"I remember when I was little, when we entered the palace, my grandmother always told me that if I met Yan Sisi, I should not argue with her and should stay away from her."

"Do you think Song Xiangjian is really doing this for his daughter's good?"

"My aunt taught my cousins ​​very strictly because she knew that my cousins ​​would have to manage the household affairs and the family after they got married, so they would naturally have to learn a lot. She also required strict temperament and behavior, and taught them since they were young. Now my cousins' every move is a model for the legitimate daughters of noble families."

"You don't know, my cousin went through a lot just to practice her manners. She had to practice standing and walking when she was very young. She cried when she was very tired, but my aunt endured it even though she felt bad. She said that spoiling her when she was young and letting her not learn was what harmed her. Now my cousin is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Her manners and rules are very good, and her reputation is also good. My cousin is grateful that her mother was strict with her when she was a child."

"My aunt is the same. She is doing it for the good of her daughter. My mother said that when she was in the boudoir, my grandparents spoiled her, but if she made a mistake, they would punish her severely."

Jiang Zhinian smiled and said, "It seems that you have also discovered the problem."

"I have an idea, but let me ask you first, do other princesses use Song Xiangjian to ask for their princes-in-law? Will they compare them?"

Speaking of this, Leng Yuebai said: "Don't mention it, it's really like this, the contrast."

"Some of the fights between other princesses and their husbands were well known to everyone. When the emperor called them into the palace to talk, the princesses said that their husbands were not good to them at all. Look at what Prince Consort Song did."

"This is something that has come to light. If it hadn't been made public, I wouldn't know."

"But all the princesses and their consorts do not look very good when compared to Min Dai and Song Xiangjian. Some of them have concubines, or they have a confidante."

The emperor has many princes and princesses.

After learning this, Jiang Zhinian smiled and said, "Song Xiangjian must not like Princess Mindai."

Leng Yuebai actually had this guess in his mind, but he just didn't say it out loud.

"It turns out that it's not just my guess."

"If it was fake from the beginning, it would be really scary."

"If it weren't for the recent revelation of Madam Wu's affair, which taught me that some admiration can be faked, I would have really believed that Princess Mindai and her husband had a deep relationship."

"I think Song Xiangjian can do that for Princess Mindai."

"And Song Xiangjian is a spy, which makes it even more terrifying."

"It's scary to think about it!"

"If that's the case, the princess is pitiful."

Jiang Zhinian said: "We should look at the case itself and not be subjective."

"Song Xiangjian must be pretending. Only pretending can make him look so perfect, but there is always a flaw."

Leng Yuebai said seriously, "In this case, I will immediately ask the Dali Temple to arrange for someone to arrest Song Xiangjian."

Jiang Zhinian said: "If possible, you'd better seal off the Song family and don't let anyone in or out. I'm worried that his sister-in-law and his nephew may also have problems."

Jiang Zhinian thought about the affairs of the Yongping Marquis Mansion and connected it to the Song family. He felt that since Song Xiangjian did not like the princess, there might be someone like Su Wanruo around him.

But according to the case files, there were not many people.

So Jiang Zhinian could only say that there was something wrong with his sister-in-law and nephew.

You can’t just answer the question directly, you still have to interrogate it.

We can only prevent them from escaping for the time being.

Leng Yuebai nodded and said, "I know."

"No one can escape, including Song Qibin from the Imperial College."
