"Your Majesty, please speak!" Zhou Songqing asked respectfully.

The Crown Prince of Dongbohou has a kind face and kind eyes, and he always loves to smile, making him approachable and approachable. Although he does not put the Crown Prince on air, he is full of intimidation, "I have a distant relative who died in Fangzikou Village a few months ago. I really can’t understand why he, who was perfectly fine, could die suddenly in front of everyone.”

The prince's relative died in the exile village?

Zhou Songqing looked stunned: "I wonder what the name of the prince's distant relative is? There has been no murder case in Fangzikou Village this year. Songqing must have remembered that he died in Fangzikou Village."

Prince Dong Bohou smiled and said with a sharp look: "His name is Song Jian."

Song Jian is actually a distant relative of Dong Bohou?

Zhou Songqing's heart suddenly sank, and her lowered eyebrows were full of disbelief. After thinking for a moment, she replied: "The prince knows clearly that Song Jian knew the law and broke the law at that time, and he wanted to face a weak woman in front of the newly appointed Governor Zhang. After ignoring people's lives, he was fatally stabbed by Governor Zhang. When he died, Song Qing and many servants who went to the prison village were present at the scene. Afterwards, Governor Zhang also made public the matter of Song Jian's flesh and blood of the people. Since the prince is Song Qing How could my distant cousin not know the whole story?"

Song Jian's incident was aroused in Tongzhou County at that time. The newly appointed Governor Zhang hung Song Jian's head high in the prisoner's village and burned it in a 'fire' as a demonstration, which gained the hearts of the oppressed people and also brought the people involved into the spotlight. The police officers arrested them all, hence the nickname "Rakshasa Governor".

Later, the people who saw his true face changed his name to "Jade-faced Governor" just because he looked like an immortal and could not imagine his ferocity when killing people.

Several months had passed since this incident, and only now did Prince Dongbohou ask if the information was too lagging behind.

The Crown Prince Dongbohou did not feel offended by the rhetorical question. Listening to Zhou Songqing's orderly reply, a smile appeared on his gentle face, "I was not in Tongzhou County at that time. It was already winter when I came back, and I learned that the Song family was all dead. .”

Zhou Songqing looked up in shock: "All dead?"

He only knew that Song Jian was beheaded by Governor Zhang to reveal his crime. He also knew that Song Jian's uncle, Song Jianliu Shi, was also convicted of accepting bribes and harshly punishing or treating prisoners favorably. That's why Zhao Qianxian replaced Song Jiancheng. He was appointed as the "Supervisor", and soon he was promoted to the "Supervisor".

Song Jian's businessman father was so insane that he committed murder on Wang Shuyan in the street of Wuli Town to retaliate against Wang Shuyan, but was discovered by Zhao Qian and was convicted and imprisoned.

Unexpectedly, they all ended up dead!

The grief on Prince Dongbohou's face was very light, and he sighed: "Yes, that's why I want to ask clearly. Don't you think it's strange that Governor Zhang is killing everyone in this way, just like destroying corpses and exterminating traces?"

Zhou Songqing hesitated for a moment, not daring to say anything. He always felt that this Dong Bohou Crown Prince did not look like a relative of Song Jian.

He lowered his head lower: "Song Qing dare not criticize the governor."

Prince Dongbohou asked with a smile: "Then why did Song Jian go to Fangzikou Village? Why was Governor Zhang also there? You can always tell me this, right?"

Zhou Songqing: "Song Jian went to search for prisoners at that time."

Prince Dong Bohou: "Have any prisoners been found?"

Zhou Songqing: "No."

Prince Dongbohou smiled strangely: "This matter is very strange. Since we can't find out, how come Song Jian got involved with a weak woman and was killed by Governor Zhang? Could it be that she hid the fugitive? ?”

Zhou Songqing's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously defended himself: "Your Majesty, the body of the robbed prisoner was found three days later in the back hill of Chenjiacun."

Prince Dongbohou laughed again: "It's really strange. I asked Zhou Lizheng about that weak woman, but you told me that you were a condemned prisoner? What kind of relationship does Zhou Li have with that weak woman when he defended her like this?"

The other party's words had a double meaning. Zhou Songqing's face turned pale when he heard it, and then he realized it later.

This Dongbohou prince came with bad intentions. He had asked so many questions just now. He was obviously trying to trick him into talking to him in a roundabout way, as if he was interrogating a prisoner.

For a moment, he didn't know who the Dongbohou Crown Prince was targeting. He was "camping to investigate" in the name of Song Jian's relatives, but he didn't feel a trace of anger. He was just like a bystander, collecting evidence in a circumstantial way.

Could it be that he had some trouble with Governor Zhang?

Zhou Songqing's mind was spinning, and she calmed down and avoided the easy matter: "Master Mingjian, I thought you wanted to know whether the prisoner was found. As for the woman being involved, it was all an accident. She was chased by a snake at the time, and the snake accidentally bit Song Song. Jian's... er, lower body. Governor Zhang immediately hired a doctor from the village to help him. However, Song Jian was unwilling to cooperate with the treatment. He also felt that the woman had harmed him. In a moment of anger, he stabbed someone with a knife. Governor Zhang was He came to the aid of the people in distress."

Prince Dongbohou was shocked at first, but at the end he laughed: "Lower body? That's too cruel! What's that woman's name?"

Zhou Songqing looked confused.

"You don't know?" Prince Dongbohou looked at Zhou Songqing playfully.

Zhou Songqing shook his head: "No, that woman is none other than Wang Shuyan, the current owner of Dafang Pharmaceutical Factory." Prince Dongbohou smiled and said, "What's so special about this woman?"

Zhou Songqing always felt that his question meant something: "She is the heroine who led the Zhang family's army to put down the rebellion some time ago. Afterwards, Magistrate Gu announced to the public all the princes and martyrs who assisted the county government in putting down the rebellion."

Prince Dongbohou smiled meaningfully: "Since she is a heroine who put down chaos, how can she be a weak woman? What is interesting is that after Governor Zhang killed Song Jian for her, this woman was able to lead Guotonghou Is the Zhang family's army quelling the chaos?"

Zhou Songqing was stunned, lowered his head and said nothing. He had an intuition that Prince Dongbohou had set his sights on Wang Shuyan.

But he couldn't figure out why.

Hot tea was served at this time, and Prince Dong Bohou asked Zhou Songqing to sit down and drink tea.

Zhou Songqing looked like a piercing light, with a reserved expression. She took a few sips of tea and pretended to be calm.

Sudden.

"Zhou Lizheng, is there anything suspicious in Wang Shuyan's family?" Prince Dongbohou asked suddenly and abruptly when Zhou Songqing was stunned.

Zhou Songqing shook her head subconsciously: "No."

What he said was unthinking and unreasonable.

Zhou Songqing reacted too late.

Prince Dongbohou looked at him deeply: "Go back, you have a hard day today."

Zhou Songqing didn't feel relieved. Instead, he felt like someone was pinching his neck and he couldn't breathe.

He really wanted to ask Prince Dongbohou what he wanted, but despite Song Jian's displeasure, he asked about Wang Shuyan's origins.

Zhou Songqing bravely asked: "If the prince has any doubts about the death of the Song family, he might as well ask Governor Zhang himself."

Prince Dongbohou smiled gently: "Zhou Lizheng, I won't send it away."

Zhou Songqing's back tightened and she quickly stepped back respectfully.

After he left, Prince Dongbohou told Changsui: "Follow him!"

Always follow orders.

Walking out of Dongbohou Mansion, Ayong immediately greeted you: "Third Master, you finally came out. I almost reported to the official."

Zhou Songqing let out a long breath: "Go back quickly, you almost suffocated me to death."

……

Another carriage that turned around and headed toward Tongzhou County suddenly stopped.

Xiao Xizi was puzzled: "Father-in-law?"

Eunuch An calmed down and said to Xiao Xizi, "Go back to Kyoto."

Xiao Xizi didn't react: "Then why don't we turn around and return to the village?"

Mr. An looked a little proud: "I won't come back."

It doesn't matter whether it's Li Shizhen or not. What matters is that he can give guidance to the third and fourth princes. If used well, both parties will accept his affection.
