Chapter 781 The scapegoat
The New Year of Su Wen's twenty-third year passed quietly with the sudden death of the Empress Dowager.
It was already the afternoon of the sixth day of the first lunar month when Jiang Hao met Xu Xing.
The only person in the Duke of Weiguo's mansion who was allowed to kneel down in the palace was the old lady, but she was very old, and except for the first day when she went to the palace to pay homage to the empress dowager, the emperor pardoned her and she no longer had to go to the palace.
But she still went to the palace every other day, which was to maintain the friendship between her and the Queen Mother before she got married.
On the day of the empress dowager's funeral, the old lady also went to see her off for the last time. Her two grandsons were always by her side, which made many people envious.
After Xu Xing sent the old lady back home, he didn't even have time to eat and came to Qianxi Building.
"This year, I was planning to host a family dinner and invite you to my house for a meal when my father came back."
Xu Xing had been planning this meal for quite some time, but plans cannot keep up with changes, and with the death of the Queen Mother, the meal had to be put on hold.
"After the fifteenth, my father will have to go back to the military camp. I don't know if I can make it in time."
Because Jiang Hao was so popular with him, he couldn't wait to let his father meet her.
The interpersonal relationships in their house are not complicated, and there are not so many intrigues. There is no mother-in-law and no need to set any rules. The old lady is also gentle and kind. After my father meets her, he doesn't have to worry about whether she will bully him.
Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Why is the prince more nervous than me?"
"I thought that after you met my father, you would always let me meet your mother as well."
After he finished speaking, his face suddenly turned red.
Huh~
That was the original idea.
"boom--"
The door of the tea room was pushed open, and Zhuifeng hurried in: "Prince, Luo Qiongchuan's body has been found."
Ok?
Jiang Hao listened silently, but was very suspicious in his heart. Luo Qiongchuan was taken to the mountains by her and killed with one knife. No one knew about it except her. His body should have been eaten by jackals, tigers and leopards long ago. Who would have found him?
"He was found in a pile of dirt less than a hundred meters away from the inn. His leg bone was broken. He must have fallen down the hillside after escaping and hit the back of his head on a rock. His face was covered in blood that had all frozen into ice."
"The local government has submitted the case file to the Dali Temple. The innkeeper and the waiter are witnesses, confirming that he killed the King of Qi and his son. The evidence is solid, there are witnesses, and there is a motive for the crime. Once we sort it out, the case will be settled."
Xu Xing nodded without comment: "If that's the case, then let's do it this way."
His aunt asked him to privately investigate who killed the King of Qi, but he never expected that it would be like this.
The steward of Prince Qi's mansion killed his master for some reason and eventually fell to his death.
What a joke!
"Okay, why don't you say anything? Do you think there's something suspicious?"
"No."
Jiang Hao smiled and shook his head.
It was originally believed that the King of Qi was killed, and as a father, Emperor Suwen had to get to the bottom of it.
Who would have thought that he would find a scapegoat to make this matter perfect.
The King of Qi probably never imagined that his father would be so cruel that even after he died, not only did he not investigate the real cause of death, but he insisted on sending his body to Lingnan Prefecture, preventing him from entering the imperial mausoleum.
Fortunately, she had a trick up her sleeve and didn't rush to let the Condor Camp take the blame, so she kept this super trump card in her hand.
Seeing that she didn't even offer any analysis of the case, which was different from her usual style, Xu Xing looked at her twice more.
He had a vague feeling that Jiang Hao must be hiding something from him.
Could it be that what she didn't say was related to the death of King Qi?
