Chapter 318 Don’t Tell Others 1
"In these years, Prince Rui and the Crown Prince have been at odds with each other. In other words, the Crown Prince has always been wary of Prince Rui and is always on guard. But even so, there was no trouble. But a few days ago in Tianhan Academy, the Crown Prince He actually made a bet in public as the crown prince, just to get Princess Rui. At that time, everyone thought it was a joke, but after thinking about it, it was far from that... After all, the crown prince is a calm and cautious person, he is not Rong Wang, so He definitely wouldn't do something capricious, so he would do that in public at that time, there is only one explanation, that is, he really fell in love with Princess Rui... and Madam was also present for this incident, so there is no need for me to In detail, Madam will understand if you think about it! But in this way, problems will arise..."

"By the way, although His Highness Prince Rui ignores the government affairs and is just an idle prince, he has a very high prestige in the court due to his conduct and gentle personality. Although Prince Rui was able to keep an eye on the prince's various precautions back then. Turning a blind eye, but now that the crown prince has focused his attention on Princess Rui, it is conceivable that no matter how good-tempered Prince Rui is, he will not remain indifferent! Therefore, Cai Fu's marriage is likely to be Prince Rui is ready to take the first step!"

It has to be said that as the prime minister of the three dynasties, old prime minister Jiang is really amazing!So much so that, after hearing his words, Mrs. Jiang was so startled that she was speechless.

"But when two tigers fight, one must be injured, and the court will inevitably be in chaos. And maybe it is because of this that Princess Rui came to the mansion in a hurry on the day when the imperial edict was issued. Presumably, Princess Rui already knew the motive behind this. And it was precisely because of Princess Rui’s actions that I was shocked by the article in this article, but the imperial decree has been issued, although Princess Rui said that she can help regret the marriage, but if our Jiang family rejects this marriage, then invisibly It is to offend Prince Rui. If you don't refuse, if Prince Rui and the crown prince confront each other, the Jiang family will definitely be involved... Therefore, in a dilemma, the old man has no choice but to delay the marriage between Caifu and Prince Rong. "

At this point, Old Prime Minister Jiang finally expressed his worries.And it was not until then that Mrs. Jiang really understood the meaning of procrastinating the wedding date.So, after thinking about it slightly, Mrs. Jiang immediately said:
"Old man, I understand now that you said that! That is to say, King Rong used the marriage to win our Jiang family, but the prince didn't want to see this. That's why he took the opportunity to rob Caifu and destroy it." Is the Jiang family married to King Rong?"

"You can say that, but this old man thinks it's a bit weird!"

"What's weird?"

"Because the prince has always done things calmly, and the city is extremely deep. The purpose of destroying the marriage is so obvious, that is to say, as long as people who know a little bit about the details, as long as they think about it, they will naturally think of the prince. And so Simple things, according to the prince's way of doing things, shouldn't do it..."

"But if it wasn't him, who else would it be?"

"That's not clear, and only by finding Caifu can we find out who it is..."

As he said that, Old Prime Minister Jiang slowly stopped in his tracks, and at the same time, there was a hint of thoughtfulness in his slightly squinted eyes...

People from Prince Rui's Mansion, Prince Rong's Mansion, and even the Jiang family worked all night, but they didn't look for Jiang Caifu.

It was as if she had disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace behind.

The next day, Mu Jinglin, who hadn't returned all night, came over early in the morning and said a few words to Mu Jingnian, and then went out to find someone again!Afterwards, Mu Jingnian also left the residence alone.And after Mu Jingnian left, Shen Lingbo took Zi Zhu and Jun to the county magistrate's office after packing up!

Of course, for Junlai, Shen Lingbo didn't want him to follow, after all, Jiang Caifu hadn't been found there yet, but no matter what Shen Lingbo said, Junlai just didn't listen, so in the end, Shen Lingbo didn't care about him, let him follow if he loved follow along!
Immediately, sitting in the carriage, Shen Lingbo went to the county magistrate's office, and when the county magistrate saw Shen Lingbo coming, he immediately went out to greet him.Then, after some greetings, Gou Zhixian directly brought Shen Lingbo to the back hall.

Gou Zhixian and Shen Lingbo are old acquaintances.Therefore, Shen Lingbo didn't hide anything later, and told about Jiang Caifu's robbery.Upon hearing this, Gou Zhixian was startled, and then his mung bean-sized eyes widened in disbelief.
"Huh? Robbed the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion? You really have eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard!"

Gou Zhixian said so.But Gouzhi County is also a smart person, after listening to Shen Lingbo's description of the actions of those masked men, he probably has a plan in his heart.So he couldn't help changing the subject and said in a low voice:

"Then the princess came here in person today, I don't know how I can help you?"

What Gou Zhixian said was quite straightforward.Hearing this, Shen Lingbo couldn't help smiling slightly

"Hehe, I can't say that you can help, but there is one thing I want to check with the magistrate's brother-in-law..."

"Yeah, what's the matter? Princess just say it straight!"

"Hehe, brother-in-law Zhixian don't need to be nervous, it's not a big deal, it's just in case..."

Said, Shen Lingbo slowly leaned forward, and then continued in a low voice:

"Brother-in-law magistrate, yesterday I heard from the prince that the capital is not peaceful recently, and several cases happened one after another, so it happened that something happened to Caifu last night, so today I want to come and ask, brother-in-law magistrate Do you think there is any connection between Caifu and what happened in the capital recently?"

Shen Lingbo asked carefully, while asking, his eyes were looking straight at Gouzhi County in front of him.But upon hearing this, Gou Zhixian said with a smile without even thinking about it:

"Hehe, so this is the matter. Since the concubine trusts the official so much, the official just said it straight... Actually, according to the official, these two things should have nothing to do with each other!"

"Oh? Brother-in-law Zhixian is so sure?"

"Oh, it's not that the lower officials are sure, it's because the princess doesn't know something... Actually, to be honest, the capital city is really not peaceful these days. There have been several cases in succession, and they are all murder cases! The identities of the dead are different. Businessmen, widows, and even young children... However, the means and methods of killing people are all the same. Therefore, it can be concluded that it was done by one person! And the gang of thieves that the princess mentioned just now kidnapped Miss Jiang's family were numerous. Not to mention, the various methods are different, so I can say with certainty that there should be no connection!"

Presumably, Shen Lingbo was afraid of talking too much, so Gouzhi County didn't elaborate on the murder case.And last night, I only heard that Mu Jingnian said that there was a case in the capital recently, but Shen Lingbo did not expect that the case that was said to be not peaceful would be a serial murder case.So I can't help feeling a little nervous.But even so, Shen Lingbo still asked in a low voice after a slight pause:
"The magistrate's brother-in-law can now find out the murderer's motive for killing?"

"No, the identities of the deceased are different. Now apart from knowing that the murderer committed the crime alone, and the murder time is fixed, nothing else has been found."

"Oh...so that's the case, I guess it has nothing to do with Caifu's matter!"

In response, Shen Lingbo said something to Gou Zhixian, then got up and left.Seeing that Shen Lingbo was going to leave, Gouzhi County naturally wanted to give it away, so Shen Lingbo and Gouzhi County walked outside while talking together...

But while walking, just when Shen Lingbo and Gou Zhixian walked out of the back hall and went straight to the gate of the government office, Shen Lingbo suddenly stopped, then looked up at the spacious green stone road in front of the government office compound, Then he turned his head and looked behind...

Shen Lingbo's movements were weird. Seeing this situation, Gou Zhixian, Zizhu and even Junlai behind couldn't help being stunned at the same time.But then when Gou Zhixian wanted to ask in confusion, Shen Lingbo's eyes flashed fiercely, and then he screamed out without thinking

"Oh, I finally remembered! It turned out to be him!"

Shen Lingbo's voice was too sudden and inexplicable, so Zi Zhu, Gou Zhixian and the others were confused in an instant!In the end, it was Gou Zhixian who reacted quickly, and after a brief moment of stupefaction, he couldn't help asking:
"Uh...Princess, you...you just said that..."

Gou Zhixian asked in a low voice, and looked at Shen Lingbo with a pair of small mung bean-sized eyes, full of puzzlement.But at this time, upon hearing these words, Shen Lingbo suddenly came back to his senses, and then explained repeatedly:

"Uh, hehe, it's okay, it's okay, brother-in-law magistrate, I suddenly remembered something from before, so...hehe, I'm sorry, I made brother-in-law magistrate laugh!"

"Uh... oh, so that's the case, I thought something happened, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine!"

Gou Zhixian is a smart person, Shen Lingbo didn't elaborate, so he didn't ask further.He echoed a few words, and then Gouzhi County sent Shen Lingbo to the door
"Hehe, don't worry, princess, you came here today to talk about this matter, and I will write it down. After a while, I will order the servants to go out to help find someone. After all, no matter how you say it, even if you don't look at old Prime Minister Jiang's face, the princess I can come here specifically for Miss Jiang's family to inquire about it. Presumably the princess is also very concerned about Miss Jiang's family, and what the princess cares about is what the officials are worried about, so don't worry, Wangfei. As soon as there is news, the officials will notify you immediately you……"

Although Shen Lingbo didn't mention asking Gouzhi County to help find someone when he came here today, Gouzhi County knew in his heart that Shen Lingbo could ask Shen Lingbo in person, and that was a matter of his heart.So before Shen Lingbo could say anything, Gou Zhixian said it first.Upon hearing this, Shen Lingbo was naturally grateful, but at the same time he couldn't help but whispered:
"Hehe, brother-in-law magistrate is too polite, if you can help, then Ling Bo will thank you on behalf of Jiang Laocheng and His Royal Highness King Rong, brother-in-law magistrate, you don't know, His Royal Highness King Rong was very anxious, and he was tossing all night last night. The whole capital is looking for someone... However, when you are arranging this matter, brother-in-law of the county magistrate, you should mention it more to the big brothers of the yamen, after all, this matter is not very public..."

Shen Lingbo clicked.When he heard this, Gou Zhixian was taken aback for a moment, but then he immediately understood

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this matter. The princess was right to remind me that this is the truth! But don't worry about this matter, princess, I understand how to do it!"

"Okay! Then everything will work!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Then Shen Lingbo and Gou Zhixian stood at the gate of the magistrate and whispered a few more words, then Shen Lingbo got into the carriage and left.And here, as soon as Shen Lingbo left, Gou Zhixian immediately returned to the back hall of the mansion, and immediately had Master Liu called over.
