Hongxia followed behind He Qingwan, because she didn't know the inside story, she couldn't understand her hesitation at all.

I gently tugged on He Qingwan's sleeve several times, but I didn't see any response from her.

He Qingwan stood in front of the door of the Shuntianfu prison like this, and he had more than an hour of tea.

Eventually, she made up her mind to go inside.

The jailer had already greeted him, and nodded and welcomed He Qingwan in.

The unimpeded flow at this moment did not make He Qingwan relax for a while, but became more hesitant.

Passing through a small open space on the south side of the cell, the corridor paved with blue bricks was bare on both sides, and it was spring, and there was no trace of greenery.

For the convenience of the guards, there was not a single tree in the entire yard.

Dozens of cells, neatly arranged on the north side of the courtyard.

He Qingwan looked over and saw that all the cells were connected together, none of them had windows, only a small iron door was open to the west, as tight as an iron bucket, impermeable.

The jailer who led He Qingwan and Hongxia into the courtyard, after walking to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the iron door with a special rhythm.

After a while, with a creak, the iron door slowly opened, revealing the pitch black inside.

In fact, there are some dim lights inside, but compared to the sunlight outside, it is still too different.

He Qingwan walked in decisively, stood in place and slowed down for a while before he got used to the light inside.

The cell boss on duty asked the reason, and was about to take her to Song Shixiang's cell in the innermost, but before she could think about it, there was a sudden panic in the cell.

Several jailers scrambled out of it, shouting as they ran, "Oh no! Oh no! ”

When they saw He Qingwan's fresh face, they instinctively swallowed back the words behind.

The cell boss who was going to take He Qingwan in didn't care about her, and immediately went over to ask.

He Qingwan was far away, and she was reserved about her identity, so she didn't want to step forward, but turned back to Hongxia and winked.

Hongxia had no choice but to accept the order, and reluctantly moved forward alone, listening intently.

"Oh no! The guy surnamed Song is dead! One of the jailers rushed out, speaking as low as he could, still flustered.

"Which surname is Song?" The cell boss asked, and he vaguely felt bad in his heart.

"That Second Master Song of the Chengping Hou Mansion!"

When the cell boss heard this, his feet immediately softened, and he almost fell down.

Song Shixiang is no better than others, but the emperor personally ordered him to be locked up in Shuntian Mansion, and I heard that he committed a big case!

Now dead......

As if he had lost his soul, the cell boss first pulled out his legs and left, and was about to go out to report the matter, but in an instant, he immediately turned back: "I'll go over and have a look first!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he plunged headlong into the deepest part of the cell.

He Qingwan stood in place rather embarrassed, everyone was only concerned about their own busyness, and no one noticed her at all.

"What's going on?" He Qingwan looked at Hongxia coming over with a pale face, and sighed in her heart.

"Second Master...... Second Master Song...... He's dead! Hongxia replied in a trembling voice.

When He Qingwan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt a sense of relief.

Unwilling to stay here for a long time, He Qingwan immediately made a decision, pulled Hongxia, and turned out of the small iron door.

Hongxia still didn't come to her senses, so she pulled her out, walked through the small clearing in the courtyard, and went straight away.

Until she got into the carriage of Hefu, Hongxia was still losing her mind.

He Qingwan is completely different from her.

The reason why she left so quickly was that she was just worried that if she didn't pay attention, it would be difficult for her to laugh out loud over there......

On the contrary, on the way home, after the initial relief, He Qingwan's heart gradually flooded with sadness.

After all, he and Song Shixiang had a relationship between husband and wife, and at that time, he was willing to marry and planned to live with him for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect Song Shixiang to be such a heartless person......

Fortunately, people are not as good as heaven, and after so many twists and turns, at least she finally got her wish and completely left this past behind......

Back at the He Mansion, He Qingwan first went to Qiu Muyun's house to report the matter.

There were only two mothers and daughters in the house.

"Song Shixiang is dead." He Qingwan's voice was flat, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly when he spoke.

"How is it so fast?" Qiu Muyun was shocked, "It shouldn't be! This medicine shouldn't have been so urgent...... It stands to reason that it will be tomorrow at the earliest, and if it is slow, it is possible to wait for three or five days! ”

"That's not what it means!" He Qingwan hurriedly explained: "This matter has nothing to do with us, he was already out of breath before I passed!" ”

"Really?" Qiu Muyun couldn't believe it.

He Qingwan bowed slightly.

"That food box, I brought it back intact, it inevitably left traces, I asked Hongxia to go to the backyard to find a place to bury it, and the right to sacrifice it to him!"

Qiu Muyun nodded.

For the mother and daughter, a big stone that has been pressed in their hearts for the past few days has finally been removed.

Except for Song Shixiang, no one else knows their role in it......

This time, Song Shixiang really died.

On the third day after Song Shixiang's death, the case was closed.

However, the assassination of the emperor's eldest grandson will inevitably hurt the dignity of the royal family, and the previous case of Sato's escape from prison is also a taboo in front of the emperor.

From the beginning to the end, the case was not brought to the world.

But within the imperial court, there is always an explanation.

In the end, the statement used to keep records is roughly as follows: Song Shixiang assisted Sato in escaping from prison, although Sato was captured and returned to the Fa, but Song Shixiang fled to Mobei, and then was ordered by Fanmeng officials to sneak back to Daqi and plot to assassinate the emperor's eldest grandson, but failed.

The appearance of the little guy in the Yanguo Mansion in the assassination team was judged to be purely accidental, and it has not been mentioned again, so it can be seen that no one has introduced this matter to the Yanguo Mansion anymore.

When Jiang Xuan told Lu Qingrong the news, Lu Qingrong only felt inexplicable.

"That's it?" Lu Qingrong couldn't believe it, "Song Shixiang and others who are greedy for life and afraid of death, who can believe that he hanged himself!" ”

In front of Jiang Xuan, Lu Qingrong had no scruples about speaking.

"When people are dead, this is the only way to do it." Jiang Xuan sighed and didn't want to say more.

"Song Shixiang is dead, what about those Fanmeng people who were caught? Didn't ask any clues? Lu Qingrong asked.

"Those people died before him!" Jiang Xuan didn't hide it from her, "I also found out later that at that time, Yu Linwei had just escorted them to Shuntian Mansion with his front foot, and those people took poison one after another and died cleanly!" The poison they used was the same as that of the Assassins. ”R1152
