The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

Chapter 340 Suddenly enlightened

Han Shiyan had been thinking about this issue before. The person behind the scenes was obviously very ruthless and used killing moves at every step, but yet he was inexplicably confused.

They still knew too little. What benefits did he give King Qi to make him confess and commit suicide?

And why don't you want him to continue the investigation with Gu Shiwei?
During the Fei Que case, was Yuan Huo deliberately injured under the instructions of the people behind the scenes to make Wang Shen the scapegoat? Who killed Wang Shen in prison? Who wrote his bloody letter "I am guilty"?

If Yuan Huo deliberately avoided it at that time, it means that before the Fei Que case, he knew that someone would cause trouble at the crown prince ceremony.

The person who stole the jade seal was undoubtedly King Qi, but how could the jade seal obtained by King Qi fall into the hands of the Northern Dynasties?
The person who ordered Yuan Huo to avoid wanted Wang Shen dead. Why did Wang Shen have to die? The reason was that he saw the imperial concubine Li Chang burning paper for the dead little maid in the palace, and picked up the narcissus jade bead.

"The people behind the scenes have done so many things. We can think that the Feiqiao case is not actually caused by the forces of King Qi."

Han Shiyan did not directly talk about the relationship between Yuan Huo and Sun Changshan, but first talked about the conclusions he came to after thinking.

"It was the Prince of Qi who stole the imperial seal, but it was probably someone else who ordered Li Chang to assassinate the emperor."

"That person most likely coerced Li Chang into assassinating him. The matter is inextricably linked to the dead little palace maid Fu Ya."

"Wang Shen picked up the narcissus jade beads and didn't pay much attention to it, but the person behind the scenes would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, and killed Wang Shen. According to my inference, Yuan Huo may have taken orders from that person a long time ago."

"After Yuan Huo was injured and Wang Shen entered the game, he did another thing for that person."

Gu Shinwei's eyes gradually brightened.

"The robbery of the ship by the three Sun Changshan brothers was an accidental act, but Yuan Huo's chance rescue may not necessarily be a fateful meeting."

As she spoke, she suddenly felt enlightened.

Although Han Shiyan did not answer her question directly, he gave her a clear idea.

"Yuan Huo is the chief inspector in front of the palace, and he is mainly on duty in the Forbidden Palace on weekdays. Why did he rescue Lu Yi on the boat returning to Bianjing from Suzhou at that time?"

"According to Lu Yi, their merchant ship never had a fight with the water bandits from beginning to end. They were captured with almost no resistance. When there was no bloody conflict, Yuan Huo, as an official of the imperial court, did not arrest people for interrogation. If you have accomplices, don’t ask where the water bandits’ lair is.”

"Instead of handing them over to the officials on the waterway or to the local magistrates for trial, we will just kill them all without leaving any one behind..."

"Furthermore," Gu Shinwei recalled Lu Yi's words, "after killing all the water bandits and all the stolen goods were on the water bandits' boat, she was not able to get back what belonged to her afterwards. Not only did the old madam Sheng Furong arrange it for her ’s belongings, as well as the personal purse her father left for her.”

The more Gu Shiwei talked, the clearer his mind became.

Han Shiyan looked at her energetic look and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly.

He restrained his hand that wanted to lift up and touch the top of her hair. No matter how many times he saw Gu Shiwei like this, his heart would always beat the same.

She is not the flowers blooming in the garden, nor is she a bird in a cage, but the majestic eagle in the sky.

Some people are born to be so high-spirited.

"If Yuan Huo is a corrupt official, he has taken all those things as his own."

This situation is not impossible. There are many loyal ministers in Yong Dynasty, and there are even more corrupt officials. Isn't it the one who hid the gold in the lantern before? As Gu Shiwei said, he shook his head again, "But there are two points we cannot ignore: First, Mrs. Wang Shen also told Dr. Yan that Yuan Huo cherishes feathers very much and wants to be promoted."

"The Yuan family is not short of money. There is no need to be greedy for such a small profit and make people angry."

"You know, that boat is the boat of the Madam of Hua Street in Bianjing City. Furong Lane is the place where all kinds of rumors gather."

"Secondly, Yuan Huo is very fond of Lu Yi, not to mention how true his feelings are...it is the birds in the jungle who want to court a mate, so they have to sing a little song and give them some colorful feathers... Yuan Huo Why doesn't he mention something that can make a beautiful lady happy with just a little effort?"

As Gu Shinwei said this, he couldn't help feeling a little sad for Lu Yi in his heart.

There are so many unlucky men in the world.

Until now, Lu Yi was still thinking that if she had not encountered what happened to Sun Changshan, she and Yuan Huo might have achieved success.

But if Yuan Huo really liked her, the so-called Guan Yushi's participation would not be a problem at all. Didn't Wang Yushi openly and openly take in eighteen beautiful concubines under Guan Yushi's nose? A dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.

Yuan Huo's treatment of Lu Yi was somewhat sincere. Now that the person is dead, who can tell clearly?

Gu Shiwei thought and sighed sadly, "No matter what, at least one thing is certain, that is, Lu Yi's father must have a secret."

Lu Yi was just a boudoir girl. Apart from being as beautiful as a flower and having a father who was a county magistrate, she had nothing to do with the affairs of the court.

But there had been several turmoils around her, and every one of them was related to her father.

Han Shiyan looked at it with a bad premonition in his heart.

He looked at Gu Shiwei tentatively, "Don't you believe that there is true happiness in this world?"

Gu Shiwei looked at Han Shiyan as if he were a fool, "Why do I believe in such illusory things? I only believe that whoever has a powerful sword will survive."

Han Shiyan was speechless.

"Well, it's better to believe that a man can show deep affection than to believe that a man can be resurrected from the dead."

When Gu Shiwei heard the familiar voice, he immediately looked outside the courtyard gate, and sure enough he saw the old man Zuo who had just jumped out of the carriage.

The old man rolled up his sleeves and glanced meaningfully at Han Shiyan, then looked at Gu Shiwei up and down, and finally felt relieved when he saw that although her face was a little pale, she was still alive and kicking.

"Hmph, you're an interesting person. I'm a widower, not a doctor. It's okay for you to come to my house to eat and drink from me. Why do you just stuff a half-sized boy into my house? Aren't you afraid that he'll be hungry in my place? I have to chew on the coffin in the middle of the night.”

Gu Shiwei knew that the old man was talking about Jing Li, so he quickly raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, he is rich. If he doesn't have money, I made a small fortune recently and will buy you a drink later. "

The old man snorted again, "Turn back, when will you turn back? You have been with smooth-talking people for a long time, and you have learned to fool them."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but say, "Hurry up and pick up that kid. If he stays here for a few more days, he will name all the dead people in Yi Zhuang with different smells. It sounds like they are being haunted."

As the old man spoke, his face looked a little uncomfortable.

Although he was a widower, he didn't want to hear people talking about whether the bodies of the dead contained the scent of pear blossoms or duck feces.
