When Si Jinxing heard this, her eyes dimmed slightly. She turned to look at him and asked, "Have you found any clues?"
Bai Xi nodded and said solemnly:
"Yes. Just now, when the princess was still in the Si Mansion, Mo Yun, who was beside the prince, sent a message.
On that day, the captain of the ship mentioned the Suchuan bandits. By the time the prince's men found the bandits' nest, they were one step too late!
Someone got there first and killed those people!
Fortunately, one person was still alive, but unfortunately his injuries were too severe and he could not be saved!
With his last breath, the man said that the person who assigned them this job was a man.
According to that person, the man was tall and thin, dressed elegantly, and spoke with a Suchuan accent, but nothing else was known about him.
After hearing this, Si Jinxing raised her head slightly and asked, "Why didn't Qi Moli tell me this just now?"
Bai Xi waved his hand and said, "When the prince sent you back, he didn't know there was any new progress in this matter.
Princess, listen to my subordinates. The person behind the incident in Su Bei is probably Han Lan!"
Cold mist?
Si Jinxing asked with suspicion, "Why are the Hanlan people so cruel? Do you have any evidence?"
Bai Xi frowned slightly when he heard this and said:
"After two days of rigorous investigation, our people finally found the tall and thin man who had contact with the bandits.
That person has been appearing near Jianzhou Posthouse recently."
Posthouse?
Upon hearing these two words, Si Jinxing couldn't help but think of the unruly and domineering Princess Hanlan, Yuan Qiuzi.
Could it be that Yuan Qiuzhi had known about her relationship with Qi Moli earlier and had no intention of letting her go from the beginning?
Or maybe... Han Lan couldn't stand losing, so after being defeated by Si Junshan, he came to seek revenge on her?
If you think about it carefully, that day when they were on the boat was the day when Yuan Qiuzhi and others just arrived in Jianzhou.
The timing is quite fitting!
As for the motive for murder...it's not absent.
Si Jinxing thought about it carefully, but always felt that something seemed wrong.
When I met Yuan Qiuzhi at Yaxu Lao today, I could feel that she treated me with condescension and disdain, and didn't take me seriously at all.
When she learned of her identity, Yuan Qiuzhi's face did not show any strange expression.
It seemed that the man didn't even consider himself as an opponent!
In this case, why would Yuan Qiuzhi go to such great lengths for her and set up such a carefully planned ambush in advance?
That person wasn't even surprised that he was alive...
Either that Yuan Qiuzhi was too good at pretending! Or, this matter had nothing to do with Yuan Qiuzhi at all!
Si Jinxing looked at Bai Xi and asked doubtfully:
"That tall, thin man just returned from a mission in northern Jiangsu. He should have been trying to stay out of the spotlight for a while, but why is he showing up so frequently at the post station?"
She paused and said:
"Is there a possibility that it is to confuse the audience?"
Bai Xi was startled when he heard this, then he said:
"Princess, you don't know that Princess Hanlan is the apple of Lord Hanlan's eye and she's the one who says what she means.
How could she avoid the limelight?
I guess her subordinates are all like this too.
However, the princess's suspicion is not without reason, and I will inform His Majesty."
After hearing this, Si Jinxing didn't say anything else, but just waved his hand and asked Bai Xi to leave.
She walked slowly towards the room, but suddenly stopped.
Princess Hanlan, although a woman, can become the commander of an army and has superb martial arts skills!
I guess the strategy in her mind must be extraordinary!
But today......
Today, she was at Yaxu Lao, and she lost her composure in front of everyone just because of a trivial matter?
How could she be the calm, wise, intelligent and generous princess as rumored?
The more Si Jinxing thought about it, the more frightened she became. That person's behavior today must have been a pretense!
I just don’t know what the man’s intention was when he entered the Jingzhao Prefecture prison through Qi Moli.
It's really a sinister intention!
She thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she called Mo Qiu and asked him to tell Qi Moli what she had just thought!
Mo Qiu didn't dare to delay and turned around to leave. After a few leaps, he disappeared.
Every time Si Jinxing saw them perform Qinggong, she was very envious. If they encountered an enemy, this Qinggong would indeed be very useful!
Unfortunately, she never had the chance to learn.
When she entered the house, she saw Qingchan walking out:
"Princess, what took you so long? Are there people being dishonest in the Si Mansion again? Do you need me to teach them a lesson?!"
When Si Jinxing heard this, she thought of how Si Junshan had protected her when they were at the Si Mansion just now.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't touched.
However, she was powerless to do anything about this belated father-daughter relationship.
Si Jinxing shook his head slightly and said:
"Nothing, those people weren't strong enough to hurt me. It was just a rat that attacked me, and I accidentally broke its finger."
Qing Chan nodded after hearing this.
But she looked up and down at her own princess, and seeing that she was fine, she secretly thought that the mouse was really lucky, as only its fingers were broken instead of its neck!
At this moment, Bai Shao's voice came from outside the door:
"Miss, the doorman came up to report that His Royal Highness Prince Heng and Princess Heng have arrived.
They came to visit unexpectedly and are now outside the mansion. Miss, would you like to see them?"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing said without hesitation: "See you, go and invite them to the front yard flower hall, I'll be there soon."
Qi Nanye and Chen Luochu are not casual people. They came here directly, so they must have something important to do.
