Su Shi sat alone in the carriage, unable to calm down his thoughts.
The reason why Lin Mo came to him was because the banquet was over and everyone who attended the banquet was drunk. Even though everyone was drunk and unconscious, they were still chanting something about the wine.
His sister-in-law also agreed with Mrs. Qin on the wedding date of Su Shi and Qin Nan, so she left first with her drunken eldest brother.
So Su Shi was the only one in the carriage, and he also took this moment to sort out his thoughts.
A royal princess, a prince of the general's palace, and an important official of the court are all investigating the cause of the prince's death, and they still haven't given up even after ten years.
So is there any relationship between them? Are they advancing and retreating together? Or do they each fight on their own?
Zhou Xuan and Su Zhou were acting together, but did they know that Qin Zhidao was also investigating the cause of the prince's death?
At this time, Su Shi thought of Zhong Lingyao again.
Zhong Lingyao is the adopted daughter of Zhong Lichuan, the prince's valet. She was rescued by Qin Zhidao, but now she is in the flower garden, and the person behind the flower garden is Zhou Xuan.
From this, it can be seen that the relationship between the three of them is like a monk with lice on his head - it is obvious.
Su Shi's eyes narrowed involuntarily, and then he showed a solemn expression.
If only Zhou Xuan and Su Zhou were investigating this matter, he wouldn't take it seriously because ten years ago, Zhou Xuan was only eight or nine years old, and Su Zhou was only sixteen years old.
According to Su Shi's algorithm before time travel, Zhou Xuan was just a child at that time, and Su Zhou was also underage, so their inferences were not very credible in Su Shi's opinion.
But Qin Zhidao was different. He should have been in his thirties ten years ago and had been immersed in official circles for a long time. If there was no evidence that convinced him, he would not have spent such a long time on a hypothetical inference.
Su Shi even suspected that Qin Zhidao was the one who pushed Zhou Xuan and Su Zhou to investigate the matter.
If someone really wants to deal with the prince and kill him, then their plan must be very detailed, secret, and clever, and they will never take action if they are not sure.
Because they only have one chance to take action. If they miss, the consequences will be disastrous, which means tens of millions of heads will fall to the ground.
So if the prince really died unexpectedly, it would be impossible for Zhou Xuan and Su Zhou to see the flaw in it. After all, they were too young at the time.
Moreover, Su Shi believed that even if Qin Zhidao saw the flaw and made him believe that there was something fishy about the prince's death, he would definitely not have any substantial evidence. Otherwise, there would have been a huge storm in Kyoto.
This can also explain why Qin Zhidao saved Zhong Lingyao.
In Qin Zhidao's view, when the prince was killed, no matter how subtle the other party's plan was, someone should be aware of it, and the most likely person to notice that something fishy was going on was to serve the prince Zhong Lichuan closely.
Since Zhong Lingyao has the closest relationship with Zhong Lichuan, it is definitely possible that Zhong Lichuan once left some clues to Zhong Lingyao.
But Su Shi thought about it again and thought that this possibility was unlikely, because Zhong Lingyao was only seven years old at the time, and Zhong Lingyao might not be able to understand it if he just left some clues. From the fact that Zhong Lingyao was willing to die later, it can be inferred that she had no knowledge of this matter at all.
Another incident can also confirm that Zhong Lingyao had no knowledge, that is, after Qin Zhidao rescued Zhong Lingyao, he must have asked Zhong Lingyao about Zhong Lichuan in detail, but obviously found nothing.
Su Shi couldn't help but stretch, and then lay down comfortably.
The carriage was very wide, so Su Shi could stretch his body as much as possible. When his body was in the most comfortable state, his brain worked faster.
What concerned Su Shi most at this time was that Qin Nan overheard the conversation between his father and Zhong Lingyao.
From these simple words, Su Shi could probably guess what Qin Zhidao meant, that is, Qin Zhidao seemed to want to set up a plan in order to find out the cause of the prince's death.
The reason why Qin Zhidao wanted to discuss with Zhong Lingyao was that Zhong Lingyao was obviously a key link in this layout.
So when Zhong Lingyao came to the capital, this game had already begun.
So what exactly did Qin Zhidao set up? And will the other party fall into his trap?
Su Shi didn't know, so he couldn't help but sigh.
Because although he didn't know what Qin Zhidao planned, it was foreseeable that such comfortable days would be few in the future.
Because even if he thought with his toes, Su Shi knew that Zhou Xuan and Su Zhou were definitely involved in this plan.
And Su Zhou is about to leave the capital and return to the border, so naturally his role will only be played by Su Shi.
Su Zhou was his eldest brother, Qin Zhidao was about to become his father-in-law, and he regarded Zhou Xuan as a friend. More importantly, the prince was also the benefactor of the general's mansion, so Su Shi couldn't help but participate in this situation.
Thinking of this, Su Shi's mood became calmer.
There was no nervousness, no excitement, and no fear. When faced with the real big event, Su Shi's mood was calm without any disturbance.
So when the carriage arrived at the General's Mansion and Su Shi got off the carriage and slowly walked into the General's Mansion, Lin Mo looked at him in surprise.
Because he had never seen Su Shi like this before.
Su Shi used to feel domineering, arrogant, and arrogant to others.
In the past few days, Su Shi gave others the impression that he was humble, calm, and talented.
But now Lin Mo felt different.
He felt an absolute tranquility from Su Shi's body.
Calm, quiet, still.
This kind of silence is as quiet as a virgin moving like a loose rabbit, it is also the calm before the storm, and it is the calm before the tsunami is about to explode.
Looking at Su Shi's back, Lin Mo suddenly felt frightened and panicked.
The night passed quickly because Su Shi had a good rest.
So Su Shi also got up very early.
After getting up, Su Shi started his daily exercise as usual.
After several days of exercise, his body seemed to have adapted to the intensity of exercise, so when he finished exercising, he no longer lay on the bed like a dead dog.
In the past, when Su Shi was exercising, someone would always feel the novelty, so there would be people watching from the sidelines from time to time.
But today, no one was watching, because although Su Shi's expression and behavior were no different from before, everyone felt that the second young master today seemed different from before.
As for what was different, no one could tell, but everyone did not dare to look at him, as if they were deeply afraid of Su Shi today.
After Su Shi took a shower and changed clothes, Su Zhou appeared in his dormitory.
Although he was extremely drunk last night, after a night's rest, Su Zhou's spirit had recovered and his body was still upright.
At this time, he was looking at Su Shi quietly.
Although he was not afraid of Su Shi yet, Su Shi still surprised him.
But at the same time, he also felt some surprises, because he knew that Su Shi had made a choice.
