"The place where she died is not far from Lijia Village. I think this woman gave my father to the Su family. If the two elders of the Su family were still alive, we could learn something from them." Su Yin said in a deep voice.
"It doesn't matter if the two old guys in the Su family are gone. Our good uncle is still alive. Calculating his age, he was nine years old at that time and should have known some things." When Su Xinguang mentioned his uncle, he narrowed his eyes slightly with a ferocious light in his eyes.
"We have to have a good meeting with our good uncle."
Su Xinguang held the bracelet in his hand. "This person is probably the traitor that my grandmother mentioned, or maybe he is from Concubine Li's side. Sister, think about it carefully. What other characteristics are there on the female corpse?"
They didn't know whether they kept their father behind out of compassion or for other purposes.
Su Yin tried hard to recall that she had only made a cursory observation at the time and had not conducted a very detailed inspection.
Su Xinguang said, "If you can't figure it out, it doesn't matter. I'll have the people from the Dark Chamber go to the cave, dig out the female corpse, and bring it back to Shangjing City."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yin thought, "She has six fingers on her left hand. The sixth finger is not very obvious, but you can see that there is a protruding bone at the position of the little finger on her left hand."
"This is an important clue."
"Mother Zhao is from Bayi County, Meizhou, and father is from Dongtu County, Meizhou. According to the map, from Shangjing City to Meizhou, one must first reach Bayi County and then Dongtu County. There are two possibilities for this situation. This woman was traveling with both mother and father, and something might have happened along the way, so she first dropped mother off in Bayi County. Then she continued to run forward with father and arrived at Dongtu County."
"Based on the wounds on her body, the other party is very likely to be hunted down. The only people who know about them are the beneficiary, Concubine Li, and the forces behind them. Therefore, the people who are hunting her down are most likely Concubine Li's men."
The two of them chatted back and forth, speculating on what happened back then, and many things were uncertain.
"Six fingers, with this feature, it should not be difficult to find out the other party's identity, unless someone in the palace deliberately erases her." The situation Su Xinguang mentioned at the end has a high probability of happening.
"The Dark Chamber is investigating, and Su Xiaoyong is also working on it. With a two-pronged approach, we will be able to find clues."
"This incident in the northwest means good days for our good uncle are coming."
The brother and sister looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
Prince Jing's Mansion
The atmosphere in the entire palace was extremely depressing. All the servants worked with their necks hunched, trying not to make any noise, for fear of disturbing the prince.
Eunuch Hong hurried across the courtyard towards the study. As soon as he reached the door of the study, he heard angry voices coming from inside the house.
"Are you useless? You can't even handle such a small matter. Take him away and give him thirty strokes of the cane."
The door of the study was opened, and a maid was dragged out by two servants. The maid's face was red and swollen, and she was too scared to cry out. If she cried out, the punishment would not only be thirty strokes of the cane, but her life.
Eunuch Hong took a glance, then withdrew his gaze indifferently and strode into the study. When the guards at the door saw that it was Eunuch Hong, no one stopped him.
"Your servant greets the prince." Eunuch Hong noticed the broken pieces of porcelain on the ground, but without any hesitation, he knelt down. The pain of the porcelain piercing his skin spread from his knees to his whole body, but he remained calm, as if he was kneeling on flat ground.
He knew very well that these fragments were specially left for him.
The prince was punishing him for his previous plan being wrong, and even more so for not seeing through the King of Qin's scheme, causing him to fall so hard and suffer such an insult.
Song Yunhe became furious when he thought about having to copy the Sutra of Rebirth a hundred times for Marquis Shunyi.
We cannot touch the Marquis’ Mansion for now. We can slowly clean up the Mansion after this matter has calmed down.
If the Marquis' Mansion dares to accept his Sutra of Rebirth, then let's see if they have the blessing to enjoy it.
Song Yunhe had a cold face as he glanced at Eunuch Hong and noticed the blood flowing from his knee.
He withdrew his gaze indifferently and asked her to get up without saying anything.
Eunuch Hong just knelt there.
He calculated the time silently in his mind, and only spoke when the time was almost up.
This time can give the prince some time to calm down, and will not cripple his legs.
"Your Majesty, there is news from the northwest."
When he heard the news from the northwest, Song Yunhe became a little interested, but his face was still gloomy, and he had no intention of letting him get up.
"explain."
"The young master has already established a firm foothold in the northwest, and is favored by Duke Su. He has also won over the generals in the northwest. Now the generals and soldiers in the northwest are full of praise for him."
Song Yunhe, who had a gloomy face just now, suddenly turned from gloomy to bright, and was overjoyed, "Hurry up and get up and talk."
Eunuch Hong stood up with trembling legs, and still respectfully described the situation in the northwest. "The young master is very smart, and has made dozens of contributions in the army. On New Year's Day, the Darong launched a surprise attack, which was discovered by the young master. They used the same trick to not only annihilate the attacking troops, but also captured the traitor Xu Tao who was communicating with Darong."
"Good! Very good!" Song Yunhe was overjoyed and walked to Eunuch Hong. "You have picked a good seedling."
Eunuch Hong did not dare to take credit for it. "This is all thanks to the prince. It won't be long before the young master will be in charge of the Northwest Army."
Song Yunhe nodded, "He is good in every way. The only bad thing is that he is too young."
"Your Highness, in fact, it won't take many years for him to be old enough to command the Northwest Army. This year, after the New Year, the young master will be eleven years old. In another three years, he will be fourteen."
Song Yunhe nodded in agreement, "It's not impossible to use these three years to serve as a military advisor and make some military achievements, and then take charge of the Northwest Army when you are fourteen. Tsk tsk, it would be so impressive if a young general were to be known to others."
When that kid takes power, it will be the day when Duke Su dies, and also the day when he sits on the throne.
Three years. As long as he can plan for another three years and let the person on the throne live for another three years, then the next person to sit on that position will definitely be him.
Thinking of this, Song Yunhe felt even better.
"Your Highness, there is news coming from the northwest." Eunuch Hong spoke at the right time.
"explain."
Song Yunhe, in a good mood, walked to the couch and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and sipped it carefully.
"Darung's sneak attack not only captured the spy Xu Tao, but also captured two people who wanted to take the position of commander, and these two people were the King of Wu's men."
“Puff”…
Song Yunhe spat out the tea in his mouth and looked at him in disbelief. "Whose people did you just say you belong to?"
