The little girl's presence could be seen from Lingwu Temple to Changxing Marquis Mansion. Zhen Shicheng, with his keen intuition developed from years of handling cases, could not ignore this point.

The subordinate replied, "Sir, I have checked and found that there was no girl named Jiang among the noble ladies who attended the banquet at the Changxing Marquis's mansion that day."

Zhen Shicheng stroked his beard.

Is the last name fake?

This is not difficult to understand. At that time, the girl's brother was involved in the Lingwu Temple murder case, so it is natural for him to be unwilling to reveal his real name.

Zhen Shicheng looked at his subordinate as if he were an idiot: "Why bother with that? Just go and ask the most beautiful lady who attended the banquet that day about her background."

The subordinate's eyes suddenly became extremely subtle when he looked at Zhen Shicheng.

I never thought that adults are such people!

Zhen Shicheng was so angry that he almost pulled out a strand of his beard. He kicked his subordinate and said, "Go check it out!"

The subordinate quickly replied: "The girl's surname is Jiang, she is the fourth daughter of the Duke of Dongping's mansion."

"The Mansion of the Marquis of Dongping?" Zhen Shicheng's eyes flickered and he stroked his beard.

The wife of the Prince of Changxing was born in the Mansion of the Earl of Dongping. It turned out that the little girl was the sister-in-law of the Prince of Changxing.

Lingwu Temple, the flower-viewing banquet at the Changxing Marquis's residence, the beautiful Fourth Miss Jiang, and the Changxing Marquis's son who pays attention to his appearance...

These messages are like pearls, just need a thread to connect them together.

Zhen Shicheng leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, tapping the table lightly with his fingers.

Dealing with one case after another has made this middle-aged man, who is nearly forty, look a little haggard due to his busy schedule. However, his resolute brows and the tightly locked vertical lines between his brows show that he is a person who will not give up easily when faced with a problem.

I, your subordinate, know that this is a time for you to think, so I just keep my mouth shut and dare not disturb you.

After an unknown amount of time, the rhythmic tapping of fingers suddenly stopped and Zhen Shicheng opened his eyes.

"I roughly understand!"

"grown ups--"

"Make arrangements. I want to meet the fourth Miss Jiang."

"What?" The subordinate opened his mouth wide.

My lord, this is too much.

"What?"

The subordinate was embarrassed: "Sir, she is a noblewoman of the Earl's Mansion after all, what is our status in meeting her?"

There must be a reason, both personally and professionally.

Zhen Shicheng stood up and said, "Come with me to the Bo's Mansion. The case has not been settled yet. The Bo's Mansion and the Changxing Marquis Mansion are related by marriage. I need to find a few girls to understand the situation."

The Dongping Earl's Mansion was very surprised when it received Zhen Shicheng's visiting card.

"Hasn't the prince of Changxing been sentenced to immediate execution? Why is he questioning Qian'er for no reason?" Xiao clutched her handkerchief tightly, looking unhappy.

Elder Jiang Er sneered, "How dare Zhen Shicheng sentence the prince of Changxing to death and say that a prince is guilty of the same crime as a commoner? Why can't he ask Qian'er about it? Don't forget that Qian'er was the first wife of the prince of Changxing. Even if they were to be divorced, this fact cannot be changed. It's understandable that Zhen Shicheng wants to learn more from her."

"That won't work. Qian'er has already suffered so much, I don't want her to be stimulated again." Xiao insisted.

Although she didn't want to think too much, out of a mother's intuition, she didn't want her daughter to be exposed at this moment.

Was Qian'er completely unaware of the crimes committed by the Marquis of Changxing as she claimed, or had she already noticed something? What if the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture accused her daughter of knowing the crime but not reporting it?

She couldn't let Qian'er take this risk!

Zhen Shicheng arrived at the Earl's Mansion very quickly, and he was accompanied by Mr. Jiang Er and Jiang Ancheng.

After a brief greeting, Zhen Shicheng said bluntly: "Regarding the case of the murder of ten women by the son of the Marquis of Changxing, I would like to find out more about it from Cao Jiang."

"Lord Zhen, my daughter has severed ties with the eldest son of the Marquis of Changxing, and they are no longer husband and wife." Elder Jiang Er reminded.

Zhen Shicheng smiled and said, "Well, I remember it now. Then I'll trouble the Second Elder to invite your daughter out."

"Master Zhen, to be honest, my daughter is weak and has been abused by the son of the Marquis of Changxing. Now, she has caused such a shocking incident. I can't bear the shock and have fallen ill. Now I can't see anyone. Please forgive me, Master Zhen."

"Is that so?" Zhen Shicheng raised his eyebrows. He had expected this situation.

Not to mention a noble lady from a noble family, even if it were an ordinary family, it would be natural for the woman to feel ashamed and unwilling to show up.

Fortunately, Zhen Shicheng came here today for other reasons and did not insist. He changed the subject and said, "What about the other girls in the Bo's Mansion? They were all at the scene on the day of the crime. They wouldn't all be frightened and sick, right?"

Old Master Jiang Er couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ancheng.

Jiang Ancheng was a down-to-earth person. He liked Zhen Shicheng, who had decisively sentenced the prince of Changxing to a heavy sentence. He smiled and said, "They are all good."

He was also shocked when Si'er saw this, so he bought two pork elbows in sauce to calm her down.

"Then I will go and ask a few girls about the situation."

"Master Zhen, just ask. It would be best if I can help you." Jiang Ancheng said indifferently.

Master Jiang Er curled his lips secretly.

Brother is such a fool. When others encounter something like this, they won't even have time to hide.

Zhen Shicheng laughed out loud: "Thank you very much, uncle. I will treat you to a drink when I am free."

"Then I'll wait for Master Zhen's wine."

Zhen Shicheng asked Jiang Ancheng and others to leave temporarily on the grounds that the case needed to be kept confidential. The first person he met was Jiang Qiao.

Jiang Qiao walked out about a quarter of an hour later, winked at Jiang Si, and whispered, "Don't be nervous, Fourth Sister. Mr. Zhen is quite kind."

Jiang Si nodded and then walked in.

Zhen Shicheng sat steadily, holding a cup of tea in his hand. When he saw Jiang Si coming in, he smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, we meet again."

There was no one else in the hall at this time, Jiang Si knelt down and saluted openly: "After we parted at Lingwu Temple, the master said we would meet again, but I didn't expect that we would meet again in my house."

Zhen Shicheng laughed and pointed to the chair opposite him: "The little girl is a straightforward person, please sit down."

Jiang Si sat down with a calm expression.

The other party had seen her sharp-tongued side in Lingwu Temple, so there was no need for her to pretend to be weak.

"I didn't expect that the little girl was a noblewoman from the Bo family."

Jiang Si smiled slightly: "I never thought that you are not the county lieutenant, but the governor of Shuntian Prefecture."

If she had known at that time that this person was Zhen Qingtian, she would probably have just hidden in the crowd and watched the fun, and perhaps they would not have met today.

Yes, Jiang Si was very sure that Zhen Shicheng's trip to the Earl's Mansion was fake to see Jiang Qian, and the real reason was that he wanted to see her.

This Zhen Qingtian has a keen eye and may have guessed something.

Zhen Shicheng took a sip of tea and asked in a gentle tone, "Miss Jiang, what do you think about the case of the Marquis of Changxing?"

"The son of the Marquis of Changxing deserves his crime and deserves death. Your Excellency's judgment deserves applause and will be remembered forever."

Zhen Shicheng smiled: "Let's not talk about these empty words. Miss Jiang, you are the next target of the Prince of Changxing, right?"
