When the crowd dispersed, Su Juan's words made everyone realize that something was wrong!
Song Qianfan's eyes were dark, and he knew that someone must want to harm him.
Song Qianhang was a little nervous. Could it be that his sister-in-law had figured out that he was the one behind the incident?
Qiu Chuchong, who had already walked to the door, narrowed his eyes slightly. He thought the case was indeed strange, so he postponed the trial. He didn't expect that the prince's wife was very smart and should have noticed the strangeness.
[Liang Yin's husband doesn't care about his wife and the baby in her womb. If he just wants to give her to the prefect of Chuzhou to seek some favors and personal gains, wouldn't he get more benefits by getting close to Prince Jing's mansion?]
[After all, Liang Yin was betting that this man would not dare to offend Prince Jing's Mansion.]
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. It was indeed true. One was a prefect and the other was a prince. They were royal relatives, and even a fool would know what to choose.
[But he kept suing Song Qianfan, and there were physical and witness evidence, and he wanted Qiu Chuchong to convict Song Qianfan, which was really suspicious.]
[A beast who doesn't treat his wife as a human being would offend the royal family for her? That's too outrageous. I don't believe it.]
At this time, Qiu Chuchong had already developed some admiration for Su Juan. No wonder His Majesty valued her so much. She was really smart.
After hearing what Su Juan said, Song Qianhang frowned and realized that something was wrong. Could it be that besides himself, there was someone else fanning the flames of this matter?
Song Qianfan looked at Liang Yin's husband coldly, and he had a plan in mind. This man must have been instructed to kill him!
Who on earth is plotting against me behind my back? He has such a vicious heart.
The man kept his head down the whole time, his eyes flickering, and he didn't dare to look at anyone.
Liang Yin now had nowhere to go, and the maid who had been supporting her was unlikely to stay by her side to take care of her. Qiu Chuchong felt sorry for her and temporarily detained her in Jingzhao Prefecture. He also sent people to secretly monitor Liang Yin's husband and Song Qianfan.
Whoever it is, there will be big moves next.
...
After leaving Jingzhao Prefecture, Song Qianfan called Li Ming and Li An to investigate the matter. Princess Jing was waiting for him with red eyes, and kept repeating that Song Qianfan had suffered.
Su Juan stretched lazily. She had bought two hot buns at some point and was chewing them. She was too lazy to think about what had just happened.
Song Qianhang was concerned about who was behind Liang Yin's husband. Did this person set up a trap for Song Qianfan long ago, or did he set the trap based on the incident he discovered?
At this time, Qiu Chuchong had already entered the palace and reported to the emperor on the progress of today's case.
The old emperor's eyes darkened slightly. It seemed that someone else was involved in this matter. "Continue to investigate and make sure to find out who is behind this matter and instigated it."
Qiu Chuchong nodded, knowing that this matter was probably related to party disputes, and how could the emperor not care about it? "I understand."
Thinking of this, he was afraid that he would not be able to control it well and displease the emperor. After all, everyone in the capital knew that His Majesty favored Prince Jing. Although Prince Jing had no intention, he was very likely to be the future crown prince. Song Qianfan was Prince Jing's son. He immediately asked secretly, "Your Majesty, Prince Jing's son..."
The old emperor felt a pain in his forehead again. He waved his hand and said, "You decide for yourself."
Qiu Chuchong's uneasy heart finally settled down. Who said that he was not afraid of offending the powerful and influential people just because he handled so many big cases? If Prince Jing ascended the throne in the future, he would be clearly doomed. He was really acting rashly at this moment.
The old emperor then asked about another matter that concerned him, "I heard that Su Juan also went to see it. Did anything happen?"
Speaking of Su Juan, Qiu Chuchong smiled, "The Crown Prince's Consort is smart and has helped me a lot."
The old emperor snorted, "Why are you covering up for her? I don't know her personality well enough."
She would not be called Su Juan until she turned the court of Jingzhao Prefecture upside down.
Qiu Chuchong could see that although the emperor seemed to be disgusted on the surface, his words were full of favoritism towards the Crown Prince's Consort. It seemed that the Crown Prince's Consort's personality was just what His Majesty wanted.
His eyes flashed. This person can predict the future, why not borrow his knowledge?
"Your Majesty, I have a request, and I hope Your Majesty can grant it."
...
The next day, he went to court early.
"What? You want me to help Director Qiu investigate the case!?"
The Su family was dumbfounded.
[Old Emperor, are you okay?! ]
"This case is complicated, and you are familiar with the people involved. It's just right." The old emperor coughed lightly. This Su Juan is so disrespectful. There are other people here... Don't I have any face?
At this moment, he did not realize that due to Su Juan's constant complaints, he had gradually become tolerant of her words like "old emperor", "you are sick", "are you okay" and so on.
[I am a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue. My greatest ability is to calculate money and keep accounts...]
Qiu Chuchong: The Crown Prince’s wife is too modest.
If the person was not already in the Ministry of Revenue, he would definitely have asked him to come to Jingzhao Prefecture to do things for him.
[You asked me to investigate the case, aren't you kidding me!? ]
The old emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "At least you have some self-awareness."
[If Song Qianfan is convicted in the future, Prince Jing’s Mansion will have to kick me out. The old emperor is so cruel. He won’t let me live...]
"Your Majesty, if I were to get involved in this case, I'm afraid I would be biased. After all, the prince is my husband, and I don't think Lord Qiu would be reassured."
Su Juan pointed out clearly that if Qiu Chuchong had any brains, he should not have dragged her into this.
Qiu Chuchong said, "Don't worry, Princess. I believe that you can handle the case impartially."
Su Juan: “???” [Are you okay, old man? ]
[How many benefits did the old emperor give you to allow you to speak for him like this! ?]
Su Juan felt a lump in her chest, unable to let out or get out. If she went back, Princess Jing would tear her to pieces.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that I cannot handle this important task."
[Which good family would let a weak woman who can barely even tie a chicken to investigate a case? The case is about my husband whom I have been married to for only over half a year. Isn’t this going to alienate our relationship?! ]
"Cough—cough cough!" The old emperor choked on his own saliva.
Weak as a kite?
Weak woman?
If the secret guard hadn't reported it that night, who would have thought that she could have such skills with her body.
That night, he called back one of the two secret guards he had sent to guard him. He only had a few secret guards, and these two were the best ones. It was such a waste.
Just this mouth can kill many people, especially weak women.
"I don't think there is anyone more suitable than you."
There is no chance of breaking up your relationship as husband and wife.
The old emperor gave Su Juan a look and said, "Work hard and do a good job. Promotion and honor will not be a dream."
This look fell into Su Juan's eyes, [Damn it, the old emperor is threatening me! ]
[If you can do it, do it. If you can’t, take off your official hat and get out...]
Old Emperor: “…”
The pot on my head feels so heavy.
Qiu Chuchong exclaimed, the fact that the Crown Prince's Consort could live to this day was entirely due to the magnanimity of His Majesty.
