Qiu Shuxia had a hard time making a decision, so she didn't reveal any news to the outside world, but she was still investigating.

But Shou Chunbo was anxious to know the truth, and he was even more anxious to control the truth, but he didn't have much effort to delay - although he wanted to believe that Zhu Qigui was the real murderer, and there was no culprit in addition, but in order to let his mother, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, trust this result without doubt, he still personally followed the murder route provided by Zheng Keji and investigated it again.

Speaking of which, from the point of view of inference, there is actually no problem with Zhu Qigui being the real murderer:

After Jian Yiyu moved to Liaozhou City with his dependents, he only guarded the tomb for a few days, and then according to the default rules, he said that he was sick and left Xiaolu, and then he was supposed to "recuperate" in the house, but in fact, his whereabouts were erratic, and he often saw this and that in private - what he saw was the hands left to him by Jian Pingyu's father and son, as for what he discussed with these people, even Jian Limiao, who had been sending people to secretly monitor him, was not very clear, let alone others.

Since the outside room more or less knew that the second and third rooms of the Jian family were not in harmony, and Jian Pingyu had always preferred the second room before his death, everyone thought that this was Jian Pingyu's manipulation when he split the family, and privately left something for the second room, handed it over to his henchmen to take charge of, and after the division of the house, let Jian Yiyu collect them separately.

Otherwise, a person who has just died of his grandfather and father, what reason is there not to keep filial piety, and he needs to sneakily go in and out of Liaozhou all day long?

For this reason, the people of the Jian clan actually questioned him with the big house and the third room - but the people in the two rooms ignored it, the third room was not short of money at all, and the big house didn't want to bear the reputation of the second room that bullied people.

In this way, although many people in the Jian family knew that Jian Yi was not very peaceful during his filial piety, because the big house and the third room refused to come out, they were always not good at acting on the scene, so they could only watch it like this.

There are many witnesses to this, and there is no way to fake this.

And Zhu Qigui was when Jian Yiyu accidentally went to Huangxian County and had a separate meeting with a person who had been a steward in the Jian family, and he set his eyes on this young man who was plain and simple but did not hide his wealth.

As for saying that he was not Jian Yiyou's opponent head-to-head, how he tied up Jian Yiyou and Jian Yiyou's guards - he set a trap on Jian Yiyou's way back to Liaozhou - the location and specific situation of the trap, Zheng Keji and Shou Chunbo went to see it in person, and they didn't find any flaws.

And Jian Yiyu's trip was secret, and he even only brought two guards, and those two guards had not yet participated in the conversation, which had been confirmed from the mouth of the manager of the barren county.

So Liaozhou didn't know where he was going at all, so naturally he could only find a way around.

As for the news of Jian Yiyou's disappearance, the steward in Huangxian County calculated the time according to the time, and Jian Yiyu was talking to him about what happened after he left - the steward was arrested and taken to the yamen after Zhu Qigui was punished, and it was only under the punishment that Ai Ai spoke: "The little one thought that the third prince was entangled in something and couldn't get out of it for the time being, and he was afraid that the matter of the third prince would be ruined, so he didn't dare to talk about it." ”

In fact, although he did have such considerations, he was also worried that something would really happen to Jian Yiyou, in that case, he would be angry if he couldn't say it. And if he didn't mention it, because Jian Yiyu's trip was secret, and his guards disappeared together, there might still be hope of obscuring the past.

As for what Jian Yiyu was looking for him, the steward also admitted that Jian Pingyu did keep a hand before his death, and hid the property of about 100,000 taels of silver, and after the family was separated, he handed it over to Jian Yiyu in private.

This industry has been taken care of by Jian Pingyu, and on the surface it has nothing to do with the Jian family, and even if the big house and the third room have to be considered, it is difficult to find a reason to divide it equally.

However, the second room is weak now, and if the big house and the third room really want to be embarrassed, it is not reasonable to solve the problem.

That's why Jian Yiyu contacted these stewards separately to discuss how to hide the big house and the third room and transfer the property to the second house.

According to the case file, Zheng Keji asked the bottom of the question here: "Since this property was privately donated to the second house by Jian Laoguo, why did the third son of Jian meet with the steward in private immediately after the aftermath, instead of keeping filial piety and returning to the imperial capital?" ”

After all, Jian Yi has just returned to his hometown, he is not familiar with the place, and the filial piety of his grandfather and father has not yet been completed. If he really wants to hide from the big house and the third room, and get the things left by his grandfather, as usual, he should take care of his obscurity, and wait for no one to pay attention to him, and then take action!

The steward said: "Originally, the old prince also told the third prince to do this, but I heard that the son of the third prince was infected with a cold, and when he went to the pharmacy in the big house to get the medicine, he was ridiculed and rejected by the shopkeeper, and later he had to ask someone to change the prescription, remove the precious flavors inside, and only use ordinary medicines - this matter made the third prince depressed for several days, so he decided to get the things left by the old prince in his hand as soon as possible. ”

——Combined with the fact that Jian Yiyou has always been very favored by his grandfather and father, even if the eldest princess and the empress dowager of the Jin Kingdom prefer Jian Xubai, Jian Yiyou is also a rich and noble son who grew up in pampering.

After being stimulated by the pharmacy shopkeeper, he was eager to get the things given by his grandfather, so as to get rid of the evil breath in his chest, which was reasonable.

As for whether this will be discovered by Dafang and Sanfang, and then have an argument with him - Zheng Keji, who interrogated the steward at the time, and Shou Chunbo, who can read the case file, both have the same idea: Maybe he just wants Dafang and Sanfang to find out?

After all, although Jian Yiyu has lost two backers, he still has the biological mother of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom. The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom has always been weak and she is biased, and the second room is obviously weak at the moment, not to mention the industry of 100,000 taels of silver, which is nothing to the third room at the moment, even if the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom knows that Jian Pingyu is partial to the second room, what is the possibility of forcing the second room to take out this property and divide it equally?

And the big house - although the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom has no grievances with the Jian family's big house, she has no feelings, the eldest princess is not a very fair person, will she care if the Jian family's big house suffers a loss?

In the final analysis, the young Jian Yi was still angry about what happened to him, and took revenge in this way.

It's a pity that what he didn't expect was that this revenge was not yet completed, and he himself died first.

Not only him, but even his concubine and only child are gone-the second room of the Jian family is extinct!

Shou Chunbo put down the case file and rubbed his forehead, he doubted, but he couldn't find a flaw, he closed his eyes for a moment, but when he opened his eyes, he was concerned about the death of Shen's mother and son: "So, the ruffian who harmed my nephew has nothing to do with Zhu Qigui?" ”

Zheng Keji, the assassin of Liaozhou, considered the wording and said, "Judging from the previous arraignment of the lower officials, this is the case. However, there is no news about the man in the hat that the ruffian said, so whether this matter is really like this, the lower officials dare not say anything! ”

"The man in the hat?" Shou Chunbo muttered to himself, "Wanted for so long, there is no news at all?" ”

"Your Majesty is ashamed!" Zheng Keji said cautiously, "Although there are people everywhere who unveil the list, after verification, it is found that they are all chasing after the wind, which is not credible!" ”

Shou Chunbo muttered: "Although this person's face is not clear, but with the fact that he is far taller than ordinary people, and has entered my third brother's house many times at night, there are two clues, so it is said that there should be no news!" ”

But now the fact is that there is no news - Shou Chunbo is silent, this situation is easy to explain, even if this man with a hat has long left the boundary near Liaozhou, but he has appeared in Liaozhou, but no one has provided such clues, obviously because he has been hiding his whereabouts!

Then he must have an accomplice, and the identity and power of the accomplice here are not low, otherwise it would be impossible to sweep the traces so cleanly; Second, it is impossible to hide the rumors so tightly, after all, the amount of wanted money is as high as 10,000 taels of silver!

Among them, the yamen paid 1,000 taels, the Jian family paid 9,000 taels, and the Jian family even released rumors to help the person who caught the man with the hat, not only can he get the 10,000 taels of reward, but he can also become the guest of the Jian family!

No one reported it like this, and it was difficult for Shou Chunbo not to suspect the three rooms of the Jian family.

But one of the purposes of his coming this time was to exonerate the third room of the Jian family!

In fact, if you want to talk about feelings, Shou Chunbo is not very deep for Jian Yiyu and Jian Xubai.

Because he actually doesn't approve of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom remarrying, but he is a filial person, and the relationship between the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom and Lao Shou Chunbo has long been broken, so he can't bear to say anything against it. But for half-brothers and sisters, there is inevitably estrangement and alienation.

This is also the reason why he has been silent all these years, including the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, who thinks that he is by nature. After all, there are many people in this world who don't like to talk - but I don't know that he deliberately rarely speaks because he doesn't know how to get along with his stepfather and half-siblings.

Since everyone assumes that he is a silent person, when he is impatient to talk to his younger siblings, everyone will not think that he does not like his younger siblings, but will only think that he is originally of this nature. Child.

In this way, the harmony of the family continued.

Therefore, Shou Chunbo didn't have much disgust with the secret decree of the Empress Dowager and Emperor Duanhua, after all, he himself thought that it was more important to coax his own mother than to seek justice for Jian Yiyou.

But first of all, he has to find out the real truth and sweep away all the clues that may point to the third room of the Jian family!

To avoid the truth being exposed one day, if the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom is still there at that time, how can she stand it?

"The big clans near Liaozhou, are there any people who have grievances with the Jane family?" Shou Chunbo hesitated for a moment and asked, "These people...... Have you checked it? ”

Zheng Keji's heart jumped when he heard this, he didn't know Shou Chunbo's thoughts, so he replied very carefully: "Old Duke Jian is highly respected, and he was once a noble minister, and in the city and countryside, they all admired Lao Guogong very much, and there was no dispute with Lao Guogong and the Jian family. Moreover, Liaozhou is a remote place, and there are not many real big households. The so-called big clan, in the final analysis, is just a rich man in the countryside! ”

The implication is that the Jian family has no grievances with the local clans, and the local clans have no ability to get the Jian family.

He said this not all to protect the local clan, but mainly for his own consideration: if Jian Yiyou is believed to have died at the hands of Zhu Qigui, Zhu Qigui is just a commoner who has committed a crime and served in the army, he does not know etiquette and shame, does not know the fear of national law, and commits the crime of murdering the eldest princess's beloved son, although Zheng Keji also has to receive the crime of having no way to govern, but there is still room for mediation;

But if the local clan is involved in this matter, the meaning changes: how can those who can be called big clans have nothing to do with the government?

During the New Year's holidays, the whole country should be honored.

Once this kind of family becomes the culprit, Zheng Keji will not be accused of having no way to govern and educate, and he will become a collusion between officials and gentry, brewing a big conspiracy that he can't even think of!

"Well, you go down first, I'll think about it later!" Shou Chunbo's original intention was just to make preparations with both hands, and in the case that no one could be found for the time being, he would first find a scapegoat for backup, but seeing Zheng Keji say this, he thought about it, and he didn't force it, "I'll look for you again if I have something to do!" ”

Zheng Keji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, got up and retired: "The lower official obeys the order!" ”

It's just that he walked to the door, and he didn't want a famous official outside to rush in, and said with a look of ecstasy: "Someone has unveiled the list, and the man with the hat has news!" ”

Zheng Keji was stunned, and Shou Chunbo behind him stood up, striding out, and asked urgently: "Who revealed the list?" Where are the people?! ”
