Zhou Jingxian lowered her head and shook her head again.
"My granddaughter doesn't know. At that time, my granddaughter was worried that other killers would come back and endanger Mr. Ning and the tobacco seeds, so she went north with Colonel Ning first. The case should be informed to Governor Su and they would be responsible."
I see.
After Zhou Qian mentally calculated the memorial about Tobacco Seeds and the date when the convoy entered Beijing, he knew that Zhou Jingxian was not lying.
Moreover.
Both King Jin and King Kang have their own positions. Even Jiang Yan may have his own thoughts, but Su Rui will never lie.
Suri only talked about the raid on the convoy, but did not mention the closing of the case. It seems that the paperwork to close the case is still on the way. Since it was not delivered quickly, it must not involve the royal family.
"Old Shi, didn't you send someone to Jinling? What did that person say?"
Zhou Qian looked at King Jin sharply.
Just now he was so confused and suspected that Jingxian was impure. Now that he knew Zhou An was involved in the killer case, he felt so guilty and wanted Zhou An to come back to life and tell the truth clearly.
But I remembered that Su Rui's memorial mentioned that Zhou An tried to bribe the killer to endanger Ning Wuyan.
Coupled with Zhou An's arrogant and domineering character, he felt that it was more likely that Zhou An was the mastermind behind this matter.
"Father, my son is guilty!"
The King of Jin knew that the situation was reversed and was not good for him, and he could not tolerate his quibbles. He simply pushed out the dead man as a target and suffered all the anger of his father.
"It was because of the lax discipline of my subordinates that Zhou An was kidnapped by assassins in Jinling, resulting in his death. However, because the guards I sent did not find any tokens, and Magistrate Jiang sent people to remove Zhou An's body, It has long since been shattered into ashes.”
"In order to prevent the corpses from being mixed with the guards of the Jin Palace and being discovered, the people I sent took it upon themselves to burn all the people involved in the case again. Their bones were shattered and ashes were scattered. Please don't worry, father."
Jiang Yan actually burned Zhou An's bones again, crushing the bones and scattering ashes? !
This news almost made Zhou Jingxian raise her head in shock, revealing her guilty conscience at this time.
She had specifically told Zheng Donglin to check for clues on the remains of the body.
Zheng Donglin was absolutely loyal. Even though his mind was not that flexible, he was very serious about his work. Moreover, he later conducted an autopsy. Logically speaking, Jiang Yan would not let Jiang Yan discover Zhou An's identity.
"Jiang Yan crushed Zhou An's body into ashes? Is this true?"
Zhou Qian was shocked, angry and distressed, and his heart throbbed with anger.
At this moment, he wished he could give Jiang Yan wings, let him fly over, and explain clearly why he did this.
at this time.
The clear sound of horse hooves sounded in the street.
"Report! Report from Jiangnan Dao Governor Su!"
The messenger's voice echoed in Zhuque Street, making Zhou Jingxian and Prince Jin, who were kneeling on the ground, feel their hearts tremble.
If nothing else, this memorial should have concluded the case.
Both Zhou Jingxian and King Jin were worried that Zhou An's death would be known to outsiders.
But one of them is worried about the reputation of the Daxing royal family.
The other is worried about the reputation of Jin Palace.
Zhou Qian glanced at King Jin, whose expression changed dramatically, and strengthened his inner guess.
The case in Lai'an County is indeed closely related to Zhou An.
This guy is really brave!
"Send Suri's report!"
Zhou Qian shouted loudly.
The sound was as loud as thunder, attracting everyone's attention.
King Kang looked at his daughter who was kneeling on the ground, and then glanced at King Jin who was kneeling not far away, his brows furrowed so hard he could pick up a fly.
It's so lively, what happened?
He subconsciously checked his hands, and based on what happened recently, he began to make guesses.
This way.
The messenger left immediately after delivering the report.
Zhou Qian opened the report and quickly read it three times from beginning to end.
There is indeed a report about the case in Lai'an County.
It was claimed that the case was closed, but due to public outrage, the body of the person who was believed to be behind the scenes was crushed and thrown into ashes.
Su Rui intercepted Jiang Yan's official report and specifically wrote that since the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes was unknown, he joined forces with Luoyang Road to send troops to protect Princess Xian and Colonel Ning as they headed north.
In addition, there is another happy event.
It's about tobacco growing.
But at this time, Zhou Qian was not as interested as when he had just welcomed the tobacco convoy into Beijing.
After confirming that Zhou An was dead and that Zhou An's death had not affected the reputation of the royal family, he felt very complicated at this time.
Thinking of Zhou An, before leaving the capital, he specifically said goodbye to him, vowing to go to the place where talents from the south of the Yangtze River gathered and bring back a great poet who was no less talented than Xu Jidao.
Zhou Gan sighed: "Did you bring Zhou An's ashes back?"
"...The guards brought back a phalanx."
King Jin knew he couldn't hide it from his father, so he simply followed Zhou Jingxian's example and said everything he could.
"The guards first went to Jinling to look for An'er, but they never found An'er's whereabouts. Later, they were taken by Su Shi to find Master Hua and did some calculations. After learning that An'er was in a dangerous situation, they went to Lai'an County according to what Master Hua said. Looking for An'er, I just told you what happened next."
"The guards were worried that the so-called mastermind was An'er, so they took the ashes and spread the ashes of other killers."
King Jin put his head on the ground and burst into tears.
"Father, An'er was wrongly accused. He was one of those killers. They must have wanted to take An'er as a hostage to save his life, but who knew that An'er refused to obey. Maybe it was dark and windy at that time. , An'er made a mistake and shot Ning Wuyan."
"I originally had illusions, thinking that it was not An'er, my father. I was guilty. I failed to let my subordinates take good care of An'er, and that's why I was reduced to the situation where a white-haired person gave away a black-haired person. I regret it. !”
Sobs sounded under the palace wall.
When King Kang, who was standing not far away, heard the news, he overturned all the guesses in his mind, and his heart was scratching like a cat: What happened? Why did Brother Ten still cry when he faced off against Jingxian? Using a bitter trick on juniors? Brother Ten shouldn't be so shameless.
Su Peiyuan stood between the two groups of people. After vaguely listening to a few words, he wished he had gotten up today and came to work without his ears.
Anhou is dead!
Not only was he burned to death as the leader of a killer gang, he was also crushed to death by Jiang Yan.
The most important thing is that the royal family cannot declare such a tragic death to the world.
This is definitely the most aggrieved death for a young royal prince in the history of Daxing.
"Uncle Jin Wang, my condolences."
Zhou Jingxian said this without any intention of taking pleasure in others' misfortune.
But King Jin secretly gritted his teeth.
Condolences?
He must make Zhou Jingxian and Ning Wuhao repay a hundredfold for what An'er suffered!
Before, he was thinking of winning over Ning Wuchang, but now that Zhou Jingxian knows what An'er has done, in order to draw Ning Wuchang into his camp, he will definitely sow discord and deepen Ning Wuchang's resentment towards the Jin Palace.
No.
There was no need to sow discord. If nothing else happened, An'er was going for Ning Wuhuang. Unexpectedly, he was killed in reverse. No matter how he died, the cause must be attributed to Ning Wuhuang.
His father valued Ning Wuyi, so the Jin Palace could not do anything to Ning Wuyi, and even the entire Daxing Kingdom could not find anyone who wanted to offend Ning Wuyi at this time.
But he has other helpers!
"Old Shi, girl Jingxian is talking to you, can't you hear her?"
After Zhou Qian saw that King Jin had already experienced the pain of losing his son, he did not intend to give King Jin a chance to show the deep love between father and son.
Zhizi Mo Ruofu, who knew the temper of King Jin, could only say: "Zhou An's death was an accident. I don't want to see such an accident happen again, and I don't want to see anyone hurting the pillars of the family for their own selfish interests." It jeopardizes the great rejuvenation of the country, Lao Shi, do you understand what I mean?"
