Looking at Zhou Jue's serious look, Song Huan knew that this matter was by no means simple!
"continue!"
Zhou Jue continued: "Liu Tieniu said that when he saw Yue Ling returning home, he thought Yue Ling had done something wrong or was pregnant with a guest's child, so she was driven home."
"Unexpectedly, the man who brought Yueling home was very generous. He gave Liu Tieniu ten taels of silver and said he wanted to marry Yueling!"
"And the man vowed that he would give Liu Tieniu another fifty taels of silver as a betrothal gift when they get married."
"The man also said that he would arrange a decent job for Yueling, and that would be to work as a cook in the cafeteria of the steel mill."
"Liu Tieniu was so happy that he thought it was pie in the sky. He was afraid that the other party would regret it, so he immediately agreed."
"However, just a few days after the good days, the sad news came that Yueling had committed suicide."
"Yueling died. Liu Tieniu didn't care about being sad. He just felt that the fifty taels of silver he had on his lips were gone. He regretted not marrying Yueling earlier!"
"He also wanted to find that person to help Yueling deal with the aftermath, but that person seemed to have disappeared from the world. No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find him!"
After hearing this, Song Huan had already made a guess.
Yueling met a benefactor in a brothel who wanted to marry her, but the benefactor put forward a condition, which was to tamper with her in the cafeteria of the steelmaking plant.
Women in brothels have to be good, which can be said to be a great temptation for Yueling.
Under the instigation of her benefactor, Yue Ling became more enlightened and was willing to take the risk for him.
Therefore, this is the scene where Yueling "accidentally" appeared in the suburbs and was "accidentally" injured.
It was precisely because she had this benefactor in her heart that Yue Ling struggled desperately in the bathtub that night and refused to obey.
As a brothel girl, it was impossible for Yueling to hang herself in anger for the sake of her so-called chastity.
So her hanging... was also framed by someone with ulterior motives!
Zhou Jue paused and continued: "Liu Tieniu is very disappointed after losing his daughter and not getting any money."
"He wanted to go drinking with the remaining silver, but he met a stranger in the tavern with whom he could chat, and he confided his troubles to the man."
"The man heard about what happened to him and insisted that Yueling must have been mistreated and humiliated in the palace, so he hanged himself."
"The man said that Prince Rong attaches great importance to reputation the most in his life, and he can't get a grain of sand out of his eyes."
"If we gather a few more farmers together and make trouble outside the palace when there are many people, we will definitely attract your attention."
"Perhaps, Your Majesty, you will pay him a large amount of money in order to settle the matter!"
"Drunk and cowardly, when Liu Tieniu heard that there was money to be made, he didn't care whether he was afraid or not. He immediately found a group of brothers and went to mourn outside the palace that night."
"As expected, Your Majesty, you actually gave him a large sum of money!"
"Liu Tieniu was overjoyed and immediately invited his brothers to the tavern to celebrate."
"What a coincidence, he met the person who gave him advice again."
Hearing this, Song Huan burst into laughter.
I originally thought that Liu Tieniu, like Yue Ling, was a soldier who had been arranged to die in advance by someone with intentions.
They are willing to risk their lives and ruin their reputations.
Unexpectedly, this Liu Tieniu was simply poor and reckless!
It was precisely because of poverty and endless greed that he had the courage to come to the palace to cause trouble!
Song Huan asked: "The person who gave him the proposal must be generous and treat him and his brothers to a feast!"
Zhou Jue was stunned when he heard this: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you really know things like a god!"
"How did you guess that?"
Song Huan smiled and said: "There are not so many coincidences in this world."
"Someone has deliberately proposed to him to come to the palace to cause trouble. He will definitely not let him cause trouble just once."
"The excuse to invite Liu Tieniu and other farmers to dinner is just an excuse to poison them in advance."
"If they succeed in getting money from me, then this person will continue to treat them to dinner."
"In this way, we can not only detoxify the last poison, but also continue to poison them!"
"If this king gets angry, he will arrest them."
"If they don't take the antidote, they will soon be poisoned and die in my palace."
"So the ending is that no matter what I do, it will make things worse!"
"Either I am a bully who forces an ignorant girl to death. Because he is guilty of being a thief, he can only send some money to her old father."
"Either this king is a ruthless villain who killed his whole family."
"Not only will the ignorant girl be forced to death, but her father will also be poisoned to death!"
"The person who can come up with this trick is definitely not simple!"
Zhou Jue just asked the whole story from Liu Tieniu's mouth, but Zhou Jue had not yet thought about the truth.
Unexpectedly, Prince Rong could accurately tell the ultimate purpose of the person behind the scenes after only hearing a general outline.
Song Huan's meticulous thinking made Zhou Jue admire him to the extreme!
"Your Highness has thought deeply, and I am sincerely convinced!"
"But don't worry, Your Highness, in order to catch the man behind the scenes, Wei Chen has let Liu Tieniu and the other two farmers go."
"After Liu Tieniu returns, that person will definitely try his best to find Liu Erniu again."
"Weichen has sent people to follow them at all times. As long as this person appears, Weichen will immediately take him back to Dali Temple!"
Song Huan was very satisfied: "Master Zhou is really thoughtful and considerate."
"but……"
But at this moment, Song Huan could already guess who was behind it.
Ever since rumors about the haunting of the steel mill began to spread, this person has been clinging to the steel mill.
He has a posture of not giving up until Song Huan's reputation is ruined!
Song Huan could tell that this person hated him deeply and wanted nothing more than to discredit him.
However, my wrist is not strong enough, so I can only make small fuss like this without making any big waves.
It's just that if you do this a few times from time to time, your reputation will naturally become bad as time goes by.
In the long run, even if his reputation is not ruined by him, he will probably annoy him to death!
This person is not Sun Shutong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, who else could he be?
Zhou Jue asked curiously: "Your Highness, have you guessed who is behind this?"
Song Huan nodded: "I guess it's almost the same."
"But to punish him, we have to rely on Mr. Zhou to catch the key criminals."
Zhou Jue had a strong sense of propriety and did not ask who Song Huan was. Instead, he cupped his hands and replied loudly: "Wei Chen understands!"
After sending Zhou Jue away, Song Huan couldn't wait and planned to summon Huo Qi.
Huo Qi has been missing lately, sometimes appearing very quickly, sometimes taking a long time to appear.
It's just that when he was away, it wasn't like there were no shadow guards guarding the darkness at all.
In recent times, Huo Qi's subordinate Li Mu has often been responsible for Song Huan's safety.
