If she was favored by King Qi, why would she kill her for no reason?"

Zu An recalled that the appearance of the woman in the coffin just now was indeed very beautiful, at least much prettier than the Princess of Qi, and she was even younger.

His expression was extremely strange: "Could it be that the concubine is stealing someone secretly?"

After thinking about it, I'm afraid this is the only reason that can make a man who loves her so cruelly murder her.

"This is indeed the greatest possibility," Sang Qian's face turned red, "but who dares to touch King Qi's woman after being overly ambitious?"

Zu An's expression was also a little unnatural, thinking that I had touched the emperor's woman, so what does it mean?

He looked up and looked outside: "It's almost dawn, let's go out first."

Sang Qian nodded, knowing that this was definitely not a place where she could stay for a long time. When she saw Zu An carrying Qiu Yue on his shoulders, she couldn't help but be stunned: "What are you doing?"

Zu An replied: "This is the most critical witness. If you stay here, you will be silenced by King Qi at any time. It is better to take it away."

Sang Qian hesitated: "But just having a witness may not be useful."

She looked at the coffin beside her: "It's best to take away the body of the concubine, so that we can be convicted."

Zu An shook his head: "It doesn't matter if it's just a maid. Stealing the princess's body is a serious crime. If the conviction fails, I can't bear the blame from King Qi. It's just a case investigation, there is no need to involve myself."

Sang Qian was a little suspicious: "Why do I think it's more like you don't want to convict King Qi?"

"You're thinking too much. Let's go." Zu An smiled, but his heart was filled with fear. This woman was really too smart. He really didn't want to turn this case into a solid case. In that case, the emperor would have no one to check and balance him.

It will be more troublesome for you.

Of course, these thoughts cannot be made known to the Sang family. Although they keep saying they are in alliance with him, after all, they were famous royalists in the past. Who knows what they think.

With the experience they just had, and the fact that it was the deepest time for people to sleep now, they left Prince Qi's Mansion smoothly.

"Where are you going to put her?" Sang Qian glanced at Qiu Yue on Zu An's shoulder and asked curiously.

Zu An didn't answer, just looked at her with a smile.

Sang Qian's face changed: "You want to let our family go, no, absolutely not!"

Zu An said: "You also know that many people are watching my mansion right now. If you take it back, you will be discovered soon. I have no other place. After thinking about it, I can only ask you for help. Aren't we allies?"

"

Sang Qian refused: "There are many people watching around our house."

Zu An said with a smile: "That was before. Now that the emperor has asked your father-in-law to make meritorious deeds and appointed him as the Minister of Duzhi, the people watching around have already withdrawn. Sister Qian'er, please do me a favor. Next time, my brother will give you a stick."

lollipop."

Duzhi Shangshu manages the country's financial statistics and branch regulations. Together with the officials, Sangong, Kecao, Jiabu and Tuntian, they are also called the Five Cao Shangshu.

The functions of these five ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are very similar to those of the six ministers in the previous history, but their authority is much smaller. They are the busiest and most trivial departments in the ministerial province, and they are located under the ministerial order and the left and right servants.

For example, the head of the Yu family, Yu Xuanchong, and Bi Linglong's father, Bi Qi, are their immediate superiors.

"Don't try to bribe me with a lollipop!" Sang Qian's face turned green and red, but she couldn't resist his insistence. "I'd like to state in advance that this is just this one time. I won't do it next time. I really fell into your trap today.

"

Zu An laughed and put his hand on her shoulder: "Thank you, sister Qian'er."

The two were so close to each other in the coffin, and she gradually got used to each other's contact. In addition, she had been thinking about how to deal with this maid, and she didn't realize anything for a while.

Back at Sang's house, the two of them did not dare to alert the servants, fearing that the secret would be revealed, so they sneaked in secretly from the backyard.

Who would have known that not long after we entered, a voice suddenly shouted from the side: "Who?"

Then a bright sword stabbed out from the side. At the critical moment, Zu An hurriedly stretched out his hand to clamp the tip of the sword.

"Azu?" The other party's voice turned into surprise.

The two of them looked back and saw that the beautiful woman in front of them was not Zheng Dan.

"Aren't you asleep yet?" Zu Anxin thought and almost capsized in the gutter. Before, he was fine in the heavily guarded Prince Qi's Mansion, but he was discovered here instead. After all, the two of them were returning to Sang's house, so they subconsciously relaxed their vigilance.

"I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep. Suddenly I heard some noise outside and thought there was a thief." Zheng Dan put away her weapon and smiled shyly. As the leader of a gang, she was much more vigilant than ordinary people.

, plus some gadgets from the world were arranged around, so they were discovered when they passed by.

She was very happy after seeing Zu An. She thought he was here to find her, but she immediately saw Sang Qian beside him. Her eyes fell on Zu An's hand on her shoulder, and her expression was extremely strange for a moment: "You guys

…”

Sang Qian finally came to her senses and pushed Zu An's hand away: "We just went out to investigate the case and came back."

"When investigating the case, I found out that I had changed my clothes." Zheng Dan said with a half-smile.

Sang Qian suddenly felt particularly embarrassed. The two of them were obviously innocent, but why did it sound like she had something to do with Zu An?

She was usually very eloquent, but now she was a little confused when facing her sister-in-law. She hurriedly pushed Zu An: "Speak quickly."

Zu An then said: "We did go to Prince Qi's Mansion just now to investigate the case. This is the maid brought back from the Prince's Mansion."

Zheng Dan was startled: "Go into the house quickly, don't be seen."

After entering the house and smelling the faint fragrance of tea, Sang Qian had to admit that her sister-in-law was really a classic and elegant beauty, and this temperament often made her envious.

Zu An roughly recounted what had just happened, and Zheng Dan sighed repeatedly: "You are so courageous. Once people from Prince Qi's palace discover you, you will be in trouble."

"Don't worry, she only needs to stay here for one night, and I will take her away after tomorrow." Zu An replied.

Sang Qian suddenly became wary: "Do you want to stay here for the night?"

Zu An stood up and said goodbye: "Don't dare to disturb me, I'll come back tomorrow."

No wonder the other party is wary. There are no men in Sang Mansion now, so it is really inconvenient to have guests.

Sang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little embarrassed: "Be careful on the way, I'll settle this maid first."

After Zu An left, she said goodbye to her beautiful sister-in-law, hid the maid and returned to the house.

Thinking that he had been lying in the coffin for so long and that he was wearing the clothes of a dead person, he hurriedly called the lady at home to prepare hot water so that he could take a bath and change clothes.

The old woman smiled and said, "What a coincidence today. Both the young lady and the young mistress have to take a bath in the middle of the night."

Sang Qian was startled: "Sister-in-law also wants to wash?"

She didn't stay with the dead in the coffin, so why did she need to wash it?

"Yes, she just asked me to prepare hot water not long ago." The woman replied and went to do her own thing.

Sang Qian's face changed a little. She suddenly remembered that her sister-in-law was only wearing pajamas just now, but they had been chatting about things together for so long, but she didn't look uncomfortable in front of Zu An, as if she was used to dressing like this in front of him.

Generally, she felt a little inexplicably irritable.

"Could it be..." Looking at the direction of Zheng Dan's room, Sang Qian grasped the sword in her hand and walked over with a serious face.

That bastard, do you think our Sang family has no one?
