Jiachu nodded slowly and heavily, answering the question silently.
Bang!
King Jin fell down on the chair next to Jiachu, staring at the handful of ashes in disbelief, tears welling up instantly.
He still couldn't accept this fact.
"How could An'er die? It's impossible. He definitely made a mistake and refused to return to Beijing. He deliberately tried to escape the golden cicada. In Jiachu, if you want to see someone dead or see a corpse, don't think that you can just take a handful of ashes. You can fool me."
Rather than accepting the news of Zhou An's death, King Jin was more inclined to believe that Zhou An had already won over Jiachu and joined forces to deceive him.
If this is the case, he will not only punish Zhou An, but also punish Jiachu severely!
"Your Majesty, these are really the ashes of the young Marquis..."
Jia Chu could only tell the important things about what he experienced when he arrived in Jinling first, so that the prince could recognize the reality.
Especially the two words of Huayi Test, after getting the results, it was terrifyingly accurate.
There are also the guards of the Jin Palace that he met before and after coming to An County, as well as Zhou An's difficult life in Jinling, and there are also rumors of a killer.
One by one, when everything is connected together, it can only prove one point.
"This is really An'er's ashes..."
Prince Jin's shoulders were slightly slumped, and he leaned his whole body on the back of the chair to barely hold himself up from collapsing.
The shock and grief in his heart soon appeared on his face.
"An'er was actually burned to death by them, and Jiang Yan was allowed to crush his bones and scatter his ashes?"
King Jin clenched his teeth until his teeth chattered and his lips were filled with blood. Still, he could not recover from this sad mood.
Since he had long wanted to compete for the heirloom, he had many children.
But An'er is the only one who has been favored by his father since birth.
Moreover, despite being a domineering person, An'er is extremely intelligent, so his domineering personality has become a charm that conquers his subordinates. In recent years, many vassals have joined his camp because they feel that An'er has the appearance of an emperor.
Moreover, when Hua Yi was approving the horoscopes, he vaguely mentioned how good An'er's fortune was.
He never thought that An'er would die young just after going to Jinling.
It was Hua Yi who finally figured out the news of An'er's death.
"What a good King Kang, what a good Zhou Jingxian. I caused her father to fall from his horse, so she killed my An'er to take revenge. Isn't she afraid that I will let her life be worth one?!"
King Jin's grief was even worse, but his voice this time was not as loud as before.
Jiachu knew that the prince's reason had defeated his emotions, so he dared to retort: "Your Majesty, Princess Xian and Ning Wuchang did not kill the young marquis. I have inquired, and the young marquis set himself on fire..."
At this time, Jia Chu dared to tell King Jin one by one all the details he knew.
After hearing this, King Jin was stunned, as if he had been struck by lightning, and his mind went blank.
It took a long time to come back to his senses, and asked half-confidently: "How do you know these things?"
In order to kill Ning Wuhuang, Zhou An personally led a group of killers to rob and kill the tobacco seeds escorted by officers and soldiers, and also clashed head-on with Jiang Yan, Zhou Jingxian and others.
Is there water in Zhou An's head? Why would he do such a stupid thing?
"I came here to inquire about it in Lai'an County. The situation is absolutely true. If the prince doesn't believe it, you can ask Magistrate An of Lai'an County."
King Jin thought carefully for a moment before he remembered who Magistrate An was.
At this time, he was no longer sad and angry, but more panicked.
If this matter is known to the father or used by Prince Kang and his daughter, not only will he be unable to intervene in the tobacco issue, but Zhou An will also be implicated, making the father feel that he does not care about the great rejuvenation of the country and only cares about himself. Self-interest.
Even the opportunity to compete for reserves is lost!
"Jiachu, you said this bag of ashes belongs to Zhou An?"
King Jin thought of something, and his tone suddenly became much more relaxed.
Jiachu quickly replied: "It belongs to the young marquis. Please rest assured, lord, I have taken care of the matter. Princess Xian and Jiang Yan should not know the identity of the young marquis, otherwise they would not know the young marquis's identity." Their bodies were abandoned.”
Saying that he had left it alone was to soothe King Jin's heart.
In fact, it is a shattering of the bones and ashes.
But there are some things that everyone knows, and there is no need to bring them up again to rub salt into the wound.
After calming down, King Jin realized that what Jiachu said made sense.
If Zhou An's death was really a trap set up by Prince Kang and his daughter, then the real killer move was not to make Zhou An die or not, but to make Zhou An bear the crime, thereby implicating the entire Jin Palace.
In other words, Zhou An's life would be far more beneficial to Prince Kang and his daughter than death.
But Zhou An is dead.
Not only did he die, he didn't even leave a body. No one thought that it had any connection with Prince Jin's Mansion. Even if they did, there was no way to prove it without evidence.
"An'er..."
King Jin finally reached out his hand, took the handful of ashes, and gently touched the cloth bag, with neither joy nor sadness on his face.
"Jia Chu, I always feel that there is something fishy about this matter. An'er is not a stupid person. He will definitely plan everything before doing anything. How could he risk his life to kill someone unless he has no choice?"
This question had been thought about many times by Jia when he was unable to move forward due to injuries on the boat.
finally.
He was also puzzled.
Because of what happened that night, Magistrate An didn't know anything about it either.
"Your Majesty can wait until Princess Xian's escort convoy arrives in Beijing, bribe some officers and soldiers who met the young Marquis that night, and make inquiries."
"Well, that's all."
King Jin put the ashes into an oil paper bag and clenched his fists, with hatred in his eyes.
"If you let me know who killed An'er, I will definitely make her pay ten times a hundred times!"
If someone wants to harm my son, it must be Prince Kang and his daughter... No!
A letter from home suddenly flashed in King Jin's mind.
It happened that at this time, Jia Chu also said: "My lord, do you still remember the reason why you sent me to Jinling to find the young prince?"
"You mean, it was Ning Wuyan who killed An'er?"
King Jin also had such doubts when he thought about the contents of the family letter just now.
But then he waved his hand.
"Ning Wuhuang is just an ordinary commoner. Even if several girls from the Ning family are named Imperial Madams, unless the Ning family wants to rebel, they will never think of killing the royal children. In other words, the Ning family is prosperous, and Ning Wuhuang With both fame and fortune, why would he kill An'er, ruin his own future, or even risk the lives of his entire family?"
This makes sense.
This is what Jia couldn't figure out at first.
According to the news he heard in Lai'an County, the battle lasted for a long time that night.
If the young Marquis had known about the disparity in power from the beginning, even if he made a mistake in judgment, he could have exposed his identity and found an excuse to save his life.
It is absolutely impossible to allow people to be exploited.
"We still have to wait until the tobacco convoy arrives in Beijing to know the truth." King Jin slammed the table and shouted to the guards who were already waiting outside the door: "Come in."
squeak.
The door opened, and the doctor from the palace walked in carrying the medicine box.
The King of Jin first asked the doctor to check Jiachu's injuries, and then told the guards: "Go and find out where the tobacco convoy has gone, and when will it arrive in Beijing?"
"yes."
The guard turned and left.
He had just walked two steps when he heard King Jin calling him from behind.
"Wait! There is one more important thing."
