Song Heng took stock of the people who had issues with her and Shen Wan, but those people only had some minor issues with them. They probably wouldn't buy someone to kill someone, and they probably didn't have the guts to buy someone to kill someone.
Wait, he missed one, the virtuous concubine!
"Xian concubine." Shen Wan frowned and said "Xian concubine."
"Xian Concubine?" Song Ziyu frowned slightly and said, "Did Mom say that person was ordered by Xian Concubine? But hasn't she been thrown into the cold palace?" Although she can't leave the house now, she still listens to Cui. I once said that a virtuous concubine was thrown into the cold palace.
"Moreover, the holiday between mother and you happened a long time ago. There is no reason for her to wait until she is in the cold palace to take revenge on mother."
Shen Wan said: "You don't know, something happened between me and her at the Lantern Festival Night Banquet."
Song Ziyu and Song Ziling looked at each other and asked, "Does it have anything to do with you, mother, that the virtuous concubine was thrown into the cold palace?"
Shen Wan nodded and said: "She wanted to die on her own. She wanted to harm me first. I can't blame her."
Song Ziling thought for a while and asked: "Mom, you got sick when you came back from the palace, but she was the one who caused it?"
Shen Wan said: "It was indeed her fault."
"This virtuous concubine is so bad! She harmed others and was thrown into the cold palace, but she still didn't give up and ordered others to harm her." Song Ziling was so angry that her teeth itched.
"Then the virtuous concubine has been thrown into the cold palace, how can she instigate others to harm the mother?" Song Ziyu couldn't figure it out. After all, the cold palace is no different from a prison.
Shen Wan smiled, Song Ziyu was still a little girl after all! She said: "The virtuous concubine was relegated to the cold palace, but she still has a maternal clan!"
Although she didn't know what the Xian Concubine's maternal clan was? But since she was able to enter the palace and was once a concubine, she must have been from a maternal clan that was either a high-ranking official or a distinguished noble.
Xian Concubine’s mother clan may have known that Xian Concubine’s banishment to the cold palace was related to her, so they ordered people to kidnap her. Moreover, they ordered people to kidnap her, maybe they wanted to do the same as Xian Concubine, to torture her first and then Kill them. It’s really not like a family doesn’t come into the same house. The process of killing is almost the same!
Song Heng also felt that the concubine's mother's family was the most suspicious, so he asked Butler Yun to send the killer's body to the Fuyin Yamen, and also asked Butler Yun to send people to investigate the Qiansha Sect and the Yong'an Hou Mansion, and investigate the Yong'an Hou Mansion. Who has the person come into contact with recently?
Although the people in the Yong'an Houfu had motives and suspicions, they couldn't go directly to the door without evidence. The killer's body was sent to the Yamen, and the Yamen would naturally track down the Thousand Kills Sect and the people behind it. They took a two-pronged approach, and worked with the Yamen Checking them together will naturally be faster.
Butler Yun sent the killer's body to the Yamen and told the head catcher that this man killed the boy in the general's mansion and injured the general's wife and a little girl. He asked the head catcher to solve the case as soon as possible and find out who was behind the scenes. Give the dead boy and his wife an explanation.
Someone paid to murder the wife of the general who ruled the country. This was a big case, and the governor took it very seriously, and immediately sent the best detectives to investigate the case.
The next day, the head catcher went to the general's mansion and asked Shen Wan what happened that day, and who did she have a grudge against recently? Who did she have a feud with? Shen Wan told Shen Wan everything about what happened that day. She told the story once, and also mentioned all the people she had issues with. She also told the story about the Xian concubine, but she only talked about the first time she had friction with the Xian concubine.
When the head catcher learned that she and the maid had killed the killer in order to save herself, he couldn't help but say in his heart: Mrs. Song is brave.
You must know that the killers of Qianshamen are all very professional killers, and their professional skills are quite excellent. Mrs. Song and her little maid are really amazing at being able to kill such professional killers.
The police officer conducted secret interviews one by one to investigate those who had an affair with Shen Wan. At the same time, he was also investigating the Qianshan Sect's stronghold in the imperial city.
The Song family reported it to the official, and within two days the news spread throughout the imperial city that someone was paying to kill Shen Wan.
Many people were discussing after dinner, who paid to murder the wife of the general who ruled the country?
After several days of discussion, everyone felt that the Chen Guogong Mansion was the most suspect. After all, their family had lost such a big person. They had a grudge, so they hired a murderer to kill someone, which was enough to be their motive.
This word reached the ears of Chen Guogong, and he went to ask Old Cui and Xiao Cui if they had done it. Old Cui and Xiao Cui both swore and swore, so Chen Guogong believed them. Arranged some servants to go out and refute the rumors.
