Thinking of this, Zhou Qingyun was stunned for a moment. He seemed to understand why Wang Shiyu didn't choose him. If he were her, she probably wouldn't choose someone as cold-hearted as him, and might even stay away from him directly. It turned out that he was a member of the Zhou family.
The emperor naturally knew about his high-profile investigation into the Wang family, but now he no longer had the same worries as in previous years. Instead, he was curious about what his grandson was going to do.
Why did he suddenly want to investigate the affairs of a farmer, and this farmer was the one who had protected him before? According to his grandson's habits, shouldn't he have treated these people as guests of honor?
It is not easy to investigate what happened to the Wang family back then. After all, time has passed and eight years have passed. Even if some people still have some impression of it, it is not enough.
The only flaw of Wang Shiyu was that she brought those gold, silver and jewelry to Qiong Island quietly and put them in the cellar of Qiong Island. Because there was no record of the transportation of these things, it would be difficult for one person to make a single trip and carry these things to Qiong Island thousands of miles away. However, this batch of jewelry was quietly transported from the town to the cellar of Qiong Island. This made Zhou Qingyun really curious about who was helping behind the scenes.
Meanwhile, the people arranged by Yu Xiuming had already arrived at the small courtyard where the Wang family was temporarily living. They also learned that the Wang family had met with Zhou Qingyun and mentioned Wang Shiyu, but they didn't mention much. The old man Wang's words were full of suggestive language, and they didn't quite understand what it meant.
They came with orders that if anyone in the Wang family mentioned Wang Shiyu's name in private, they would be dealt with directly. So the people they sent were not polite. They took advantage of the time when Mr. Wang was out and lured him to a crowded place, planning to kill him at the hands of others with one blow.
At the same time, the responsibility was pushed onto Prince Rong who was chasing people, because An Anwei did not do it himself, but hit Mr. Wang's numb points with stones in the dark, making him unable to dodge the swung big knife for a while. Even serious people can swim. The old man wanted to resist at the time, but unfortunately the numbing point on his leg was pressed, and he could not keep up with his reaction and his neck was directly cut.
Old man Wang was hacked to death by Prince Rong while he was walking on the street. Even though it was a very bloody incident, no one would pursue the matter. Not even the people in the Wang family dared to show up to collect his body. He just lay on the ground with his eyes open, looking quite pitiful. If Zhou Qingyun hadn't taken action, the old man would probably have been left to die in the wilderness.
This incident did not cause any uproar. Zhou Qingyun did not say much after knowing it. Instead, he followed the arrangement of Prince Rong and buried the old man with great honor. Not even a splash was made. Zhou Qingyun investigated for several days but found nothing. In the end, he could only say that the old man was unlucky. After all, he died on the street in full view of everyone.
Although he did not find out how the old man transported the treasures to Qiong Island, he mentioned Wang Shiyu several times, so he was afraid that she was related. Qiong Island had already sent people to investigate the Wang family and the small courtyard they lived in on Qiong Island. He was still young before, and although he investigated, the results were all given to him by the emperor, and he did not believe them now.
Wang Shiyu was under closer surveillance, and Yu Xiuming naturally found out about Zhou Qingyun's movements during this period. He knew that Zhou Qingyun might have had some suspicions, but had not yet confirmed anything. He was even still wondering who was involved.
Yu Xiuming was good at playing the secret-revealing game, so he killed the old man directly and neatly. The matter ended here. Even if Zhou Qingyun tried his best to investigate, he probably wouldn't be able to figure out what happened.
From what they just inquired about, the old man's two children may know a little bit of the inside story, but they don't know much, especially about Wang Shiyu's hidden secrets. They just thought that the old man must have asked someone else to escort them to Qiong Island, but they didn't think that Wang Shiyu would have such a big secret. So Yu Xiuming didn't plan to create confusion on Wang Shiyu, but started from other aspects.
The old man also concealed the secret from his two sons and daughters-in-law, intentionally or unintentionally, and deliberately disturbed their sight, not wanting them to know the secret, because he knew that his two children and daughters-in-law were not people who kept their mouths shut, and he was also worried that this matter would be told by them inadvertently, which would cause a big problem, and he would not be able to succeed in what he wanted to do.
After all, the two brothers Wang Yixin and Wang Yizu are almost his father's yes-men. They do whatever his father says and have no brains of their own. Even if Zhou Qingyun calls these people to him and questions them carefully, they can't say anything. In the end, all that is left is guessing. Anyone can make guesses. It just depends on who has a bigger imagination.
Therefore, killing the old man directly is the most correct choice. Once the old man dies, it will be difficult to investigate what happened afterwards, and there will be no way to investigate.
The only person who knew that Wang Shiyu had a space back then was the old man. Every time they went out to get food, they went alone. Even if others had some suspicions, they had no evidence.
The clever old man was thoughtful, calm and reserved, and there was no way he could say anything. The clever grandmother who knew the truth was also dragged to death by the old man.
Her two remaining sons only had a vague understanding of the situation and had no idea of the actual situation. Zhou Guichun was a fool and did not dare to explore the old man's secret, so she had no idea what had happened.
Even if Zhou Qingyun asked the Wang family again, the Wang family would not be able to say anything. Perhaps because Mo Ruru knew that her daughter's heart had been replaced, she had some guesses, probably thinking about ghosts and gods. But as long as she kept her mouth shut, Yu Xiuming would not intend to take action against Mo Ruru.
But it was just a guess. Even if she told this matter, some people might believe it, but some people who didn't believe in supernatural things would naturally not believe what she said. And Yu Xiuming was guarding against these people with ulterior motives, such as Zhou Qingyun. He now suspected that the reason Zhou Qingyun was holding on to his words was that he didn't want to give up Wang Shiyu, and wanted to imprison her directly and trap her by his side.
Now, Zhou Qingyun has perfectly inherited the Zhou family's thoughtful, worrying and suspicious nature. If you want him not to investigate, that is impossible, so you can only make up for it in other places, let him shift his attention to other places, and stop investigating. The best way to divert attention is to come up with new things, and things that are more bizarre and impossible to guess.
