Yu Jiujiu and Qin Zheng stood in the yard and talked for a long time before leaving.
After she left, Qin Zheng stood alone in the yard for a long time, thinking about what she had just said and what to do. It wasn't until a cool night breeze blew in his face that he suddenly turned around. God comes.
At this time, his confidant Li Cheng saw his expression moving slightly and knew that he had finished thinking about the matter. He hurriedly came over and asked: "Third Master, what are you going to do with the woman inside? Do you want to hand it over to the Second Young Master?"
Qin Zheng slowly shook his head: "Xuesong is a scholar, so he is inevitably a little soft-hearted. He has been sleeping with this woman for many years, and he can't bear to be cruel to her, but it is impossible to keep her."
Qin Zheng would gnash his teeth with hatred whenever he thought that Shen Shuxuan had ruined the life of his brilliant nephew, causing Qin Xuesong to waste a full eight years.
Eight years.
It's been such a long time.
With Xuesong's intelligence, if he hadn't met Shen Shuxuan, he would have been able to become the top scholar in high school and enter the Hanlin Academy in the past eight years. With the help of his elder brother in Beijing, he would be the successor to Xiang Jiang in the future. It's not impossible.
But now, it's all because of Shen Shuxuan. From the age of seventeen to twenty-six, he is still a scholar.
"Shen Shuxuan is from the Shen family. She must know a lot of things. Go and ask her in person. After asking, kill her and throw her body into a mass grave. Don't let Xuesong know about this." Soon, Qin Zheng made a decision.
He looked coldly and told Li Cheng which questions he should ask.
Naturally, he can ask these questions himself.
But he really didn't want to see this disgusting woman.
"Yes, Third Master." Li Cheng did not doubt that he was there. After receiving the order, he went through the questions Qin Zheng just said in his mind, then turned around and entered the dilapidated house.
Qin Zheng returned to the carriage and waited patiently.
He leaned on the cushions of the carriage, closing his eyes and taking a nap.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a knock on the carriage window.
Qin Zheng lifted the curtain of the car and glanced outside lightly.
"Third Master, after asking all the questions, she doesn't know much," Li Cheng said.
"Yeah." Qin Zheng responded lightly.
"The corpse has been wrapped in a mattress and taken to the mass grave." Li Cheng added.
"Go back." Qin Zheng put down the car curtain and said.
As soon as the driver in front received the order, he immediately cracked his whip and the carriage followed slowly back to Qin's house.
The night is already very deep.
However, as soon as Qin Zheng returned, there was Mrs. Zhou's mother-in-law waiting at the door, saying that the old lady and the second master were waiting for him, and asked him to come back and hurry over.
Qin Zheng guessed that they were asking about Princess Ling Fu's meeting with him.
It was so late, and he originally wanted to report back tomorrow, but seeing that Mrs. Zhou and his second brother were taking this matter so seriously, he nodded, and went to Mrs. Zhou's yard wearing the cold air of late night dew. .
As soon as we entered the courtyard, we saw that the main room was brightly lit.
He thought that Mrs. Zhou was so old and still had to stay up late to wait, so he hurriedly stepped in.
"Third brother is back." Qin Ming was sitting upright, with sleepiness in his brows. When he saw him coming back, he sat up straight and said.
Mrs. Zhou was half-lying on the beauty's couch and taking a nap.
After hearing this, she immediately woke up and sat up with the help of her maid.
Mrs. Zhou winked at the mother-in-law beside her.
The mother-in-law immediately gave a serious order, asking everyone to get out.
Immediately, only Mrs. Zhou, the second master of the Qin family, Qin Ming, Qin Zheng, and four confidants around Mrs. Zhou were left in the room.
The mother-in-law poured Qin Zheng a cup of hot tea.
Qin Zheng was indeed a little thirsty, so he quickly took a sip and immediately told the story of his meeting with Yu Jiujiu that night.
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard that Yu Jiujiu wanted him to find out the causes and consequences of Gao Yuanzhi's death.
"Gao Yuanzhi's case was decided by the judge under the general judge of Xinzhou Prefecture. Because he thought it was just a small and insignificant case, Xinzhou Prefecture did not pay much attention to it. The case has been closed. The conclusion was that he was drunk and made a mistake. , If I want to restart the investigation, I must have a suitable reason, otherwise, I will have to scare the snake." Qin Ming frowned slightly and said.
"Isn't this simple?" Qin Zheng has been doing business with Mrs. Zhou for many years. In addition to his sharp mind, he has also seen a lot of crooked ways.
At this time, he sneered and said, "Although Gao Yuanzhi is dead, who can guarantee that a little gangster like him never did anything harmful to nature during his lifetime? What's more, he was originally from Shaoxing Prefecture and was a refugee in the past. He sneaked into Xinzhou Prefecture.
"Xue Heng is now the general judge of Shaoxing Prefecture and is in charge of the criminal names of Shaoxing Prefecture. We only need to send him a letter and say that the officials from Shaoxing Prefecture discovered that Gao Yuanzhi was involved in a murder case and suspected Gao Yuanzhi was not killed in a drunken stumble at all, but a vendetta. So, can’t the investigation of this case be reopened?"
When Qin Ming heard this, he patted his head: "You are right, I will send someone to deliver a message to Xue Heng tonight."
The Xue Heng they mentioned was the eldest nephew of Qin Ming and Qin Zheng, and the eldest son of Qin Zhao, the eldest son of the Qin family. He was thirty-two years old this year, two years older than Qin Zheng.
Shaoxing Prefecture is not too far from Xinzhou Prefecture. If we hurry up, it will be enough to deliver the letter to Xue Heng by this time tomorrow night.
"The letter can be sent first, but second brother, you have to start taking action tomorrow. Time is tight. The princess only gives us seven days to investigate this case." Qin Zheng reminded him.
"Well, I understand. I'll take care of it right away. Second brother, do you have anything else to say?" Qin Ming nodded cautiously and asked again.
"Shen Shuxuan is dead. He was executed according to the princess's order. The princess meant that Shen Shuxuan had already been executed by her. If she were to keep her alive, if she was discovered, she would be frightened." Qin Zheng looked at him, his face Bu Hong lied breathlessly, "I don't plan to tell Xuesong about this. It's okay if my second brother knows. Anyway, in the eyes of outsiders, Shen Shuxuan died as early as yesterday."
"I understand." Qin Ming glanced at him and saw that he had nothing else to say, so he stood up and left.
As for how Shen Shuxuan died, no one in the Qin family cared.
No one felt sorry for it.
Qin Zheng stayed, talked with Mrs. Zhou for a while, and then left.
After Yu Jiujiu went back there, he rested.
For several days, she patiently waited for the results of Qin Ming's investigation, eating and sleeping. Because her previous order to kill Shen Shuxuan was too powerful, no one in the Shen family dared to cause trouble.
This made her a little bored for a while, so she wanted to go out for a walk again.
On this day, the Qin family suddenly sent an invitation.
