Since Ma Xianglan herself has nothing to do with Song Shi'an, and has nothing to do with the family in the capital, this matter should have nothing to do with Song Shi'an.

However, despite knowing such an answer, the whole thing is still too coincidental!

Because of Jingzhou's unique miasma poisoning, a large-scale epidemic occurred in the capital, and the treatment method needed the blood of people who were infected with the epidemic and recovered, and it happened that Song Shi'an met the conditions, and it was logical that the local officials were reinstated, and they were able to take the opportunity to show favor to the group of micro-ministers, to redeem the decline of the previous two years, and even to increase his prestige, even the emperor had to write down such a great achievement from him. If this is all a coincidence, then God may care too much about Song Shi'an!

"In other words, there's nothing suspicious about it, is it?" Jun Yuchen's eyes were slightly dark, and his expression was gloomy.

Jiang Jiantao nodded and said, "From the information I found, it's like this, but it's ......." He paused, and said with some hesitation, "There is one thing, I don't know if it is suspicious." ”

"What?" Jun Yuchen asked vigilantly.

Jiang Jiantao said uncertainly: "Actually, Ma Xianglan's husband was not harmed by the second shopkeeper of Chunshangju. Because this matter involves the epidemic, and also involves the owner of Helian Mansion behind Chunshangju, I don't dare to take it lightly, so I specially sent someone to check the whereabouts of Ma Xianglan's husband, and it turned out that Ma Xianglan's husband was indeed killed, but not the second shopkeeper of Chunshangju, but a merchant who sold cloth with Ma Xianglan's husband, and had found Ma Xianglan's husband's body from his home, and he himself confessed. ”

"Then why does Ma Xianglan think that she is the second shopkeeper of Chunshangju?" Jun Yuchen keenly sensed that something was wrong.

If it weren't for Ma Xianglan's belief that the second shopkeeper of Chunshangju was the murderer of her husband, in order to take revenge on Chunshangju, she deliberately threw herself into the well closest to Chunshangju, polluting the water source, and the epidemic in the capital would not have made such a big fuss. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people suffering from the epidemic and the medicine was far from enough, Song Shi'an would not have been reinstated by the official so easily.

Why Ma Xianglan thinks that the second shopkeeper of Chun Shangju is the murderer of her husband, this is very important. Moreover, Jun Yuchen also knew that Helian Mansion was connected with his wife's honor and disgrace, so he would naturally pay more attention to this matter.

According to the murderer's confession, he didn't expect Ma Xianglan to go to Beijing to look for a husband, and he was very flustered, afraid that Ma Xianglan would find out that he had killed someone, so he wanted to plant this matter on others. It just so happened that the second shopkeeper of Chunshangju bought the house that Ma Xianglan's husband bought before his death, and the murderer thought that this was a good opportunity to plant blame, so he deliberately deceived and induced Ma Xianglan, making her mistakenly think that the second shopkeeper of Chunshangju was the murderer, and deliberately said to Ma Xianglan that Chunshangju's wealth was great, and even if she sued the Jingshou Mansion, it would be impossible to win, and prevented her from sueling, thinking that it would drag on for a while, Ma Xianglan would not have the energy to sue again. I didn't expect Ma Xianglan to be so stubborn, seeing that there was no hope of suing, she actually committed suicide by throwing herself into a well to take revenge on Chun Shangju, and the result was ...... caused the spread of the epidemic. ”

But judging from this confession, it is also very logical, and he can't find the slightest flaw, and once again cleared up all his involvement with Song Shi'an.

"It sounds like it's just a coincidence, and it doesn't seem suspicious." Jun Yuchen squinted slightly, but Song Shi'an's benefits in this matter were too great, and it was difficult for him to let go.

Zichu said next to him: "You say, the person who caused this epidemic is called Ma Xianglan? ”

"yes!" Jiang Jiantao nodded.

Zichu lowered his eyes slightly, then raised them, and said slowly: "If you say so, I think there is something strange about this matter." ”

"What? Could it be that the princess recognizes this Ma Xianglan? Jiang Jiantao said with some surprise.

Zichu nodded, and told her what happened when she left the palace, and said: "If the epidemic this time is caused by the pollution of the water source, then I contracted the epidemic, it should be contracted when I went out of the palace with Minglu that day and was infected when I went to live and eat in the spring, which means that the water source was already polluted at that time." In other words, after Ma Xianglan and I met, Ma Xianglan immediately committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, so that she could catch up in time. ”

"It's a bit of a time crunch to put it that way, but it's not impossible." Jiang Jiantao said.

Zichu shook his head: "Time is tight on the one hand, on the other hand, Ma Xianglan seemed to be misled at that time, thinking that it was impossible for Jingzhao Mansion to avenge her, so she deliberately made a big fuss." I think she should be thinking that the matter is getting bigger, there are more people paying attention, and the yamen is not able to suppress this case, and in the final analysis, she still wants to avenge her husband. But at that time, I told her that if she had evidence, she could go to Jingzhao Mansion to complain, and the people around her also said the same, I felt that Ma Xianglan was moved at that time, and wanted to sue, how could she commit suicide by throwing herself into a well in a blink of an eye and take revenge on Chunshangju? I've always felt that it's unnatural here. ”

Jun Yuchen and Jiang Jiantao glanced at each other, and their expressions became serious.

If only based on the information found by Jiang Jiantao, Ma Xianglan dared to hire someone to hit the carriage of the second shopkeeper in Chun on the street, so as to make the matter bigger and discredit the shopkeeper Cao, she is obviously a woman with a strong personality. A woman with such a temperament will not flinch easily when she encounters an incident, but since she is bent on revenge against the shopkeeper Cao, she knows that she is poisoned by miasma, but she deliberately committed suicide by throwing herself into a well to take revenge on Chunshangju, Ma Xianglan can also do it, but it is not abrupt.

But now that there is an eyewitness Zichu who clearly tells the situation at that time, people can detect that something is wrong.

Ma Xianglan obviously wants to seek justice for her deceased husband, if she was deceived before, thinking that Jing Zhaoyin was corrupt and would not judge the case impartially, but Zichu had clearly told her that Jing Zhaoyin was not such a person, and so many people around him echoed it, it stands to reason that Ma Xianglan should give it a try anyway, it is impossible to turn around and commit suicide by throwing herself into a well!

"Are you sure that Ma Xianglan committed suicide and not was killed?" Jun Yuchen asked contemplatively.

Jiang Jiantao said in a deep voice: "I can only be sure that she was drowned!" As for whether he killed or not, now the corpse is soaked and rotted, and it is really difficult to determine. ”

Suicide by throwing oneself into a well is drowning, but if someone throws oneself into a well, it is also possible to drown, but the conclusions of the two cases are very different.

"There is something strange about this matter, but unfortunately, we have no evidence." After a long time, Jiang Jiantao sighed and said, "Because Song Shi'an was once infected with miasma, he was able to provide medicine for epidemic patients, and," a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "It is said that our right minister is now very kind-hearted and loves the people like a son, in order to save more epidemic patients, regardless of the dissuasion of the imperial doctor, cut blood to save people, so that he fainted several times, and now everyone is praising him, and the momentum is flourishing." If there is not enough evidence, some doubts alone will not only not be enough to convict him, but will also attract some unnecessary criticism to the princess and the prince. So, now it seems that we can only put up with it for the time being. ”

Jun Yuchen remembered the news brought by Song Zilan and Ye He Minglu before, and when he thought that Song Shi'an actually sacrificed Zichu and Helian Mansion as his stepping stones in order to recover, and almost killed himself and Zichu to lose this child, the anger in his heart couldn't be extinguished.

Hearing this, the corners of his lips curled slightly, cold as ice: "Yes, we have no evidence now, but it doesn't mean that we can't do anything about him Song Shi'an and his son." If you don't have any evidence, you can look for it, and then reveal it at the right opportunity, that's really interesting! ”

If people know that this epidemic was deliberately arranged by Song Shi'an's father and son behind their backs, the purpose is to let Song Shi'an reinstate his official and return to the court, and at the same time show favor to the group of micro-ministers, for his own selfish interests, causing tens of thousands of officials and nobles to be sick, and even some people died, then the situation will be even more exciting......

As for Song Ziqing's side, Song Zilan also promised Zichu and her husband that she would do her best to dig out the truth from her sister. Let's see what other tricks Song Shi'an and his son have in order to deal with them in time.

Besides, Song Shi'an was reinstated and returned to the court, Jun Yuchen and Jiang Jiantao were very vigilant in their hearts, especially Jun Yuchen, who was even more worried about Song Shi'an's thoughts about Zichu and Helian Mansion, and what he would do again, so he made enough preparations.

For the child in Zichu's womb, externally, he has already unified his voice with the emperor, only saying that it was a miscarriage, and now Zichu is weak after waking up and can't see anyone.

However, unexpectedly, Song Shi'an, who returned to the court, turned out to be a changer, although he was not gentle and elegant to people and things, he was no longer as arrogant and conceited as before, and he was even more exhausted in business, even when he met Jun Yuchen and Jiang Jiantao, he was able to greet each other with a smile and put on a posture of wanting to get along with each other. Even, occasionally in the city to meet Helian Haoran a few times, there is no out-of-character words and deeds, most of them turn their faces when they touch it, as if there is no such person in front of them.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiantao and Jun Yuchen both breathed a sigh of relief, but Zichu felt a little puzzled.

On this day, Ye He Minglu and Jiang Jiantao, as well as Nangong Qingyang, Song Zilan and his wife, came to Yulan Palace to visit Zichu together.

"He reappeared in the rivers and lakes this time, and he was like two people before, but it seemed that he was really thinking about it during his filial piety, and realized that his previous behavior was inappropriate, so he changed his mind when he came out again, and such a change was really unexpected. Coupled with his virtue of sacrificing himself to save others during the epidemic, many people in the court are now singing praises for him, but the previous haze has been swept away. ”

Zichu's face was calm when she talked about her father, only a trace of sarcasm appeared in her eyes, which truly reflected the disgust in her heart.

"This is called easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change!" Jun Yuchen said lightly, "It's just that I'm at a disadvantage now, and I have to make a show." ”

Jiang Jiantao nodded, and then sighed again: "It's just that this is not good for us." If Song Shi'an is still as proud and conceited as before, and acts arrogantly, whether it is to grasp his handle or design, there are still traces to follow. Now he knows how to be restrained, and he is cautious everywhere, and he has put in 12 points of effort in the right business, and he doesn't leave his hands like a loach, but we don't know where to start. ”
