Chapter 41 The scapegoat
Who did Lord Song offend? To deserve such a huge blame, he was put directly on the blame.
It was written in the letter that the assassination yesterday was carried out by a gangster hired by Minister Song's concubine Feng Wanwan and second daughter Song Qinghan at a huge expense, with the purpose of killing the Major General's wife Song Qingci.
The reason was very sufficient, because at the return banquet of the wife of the young general, Song Qinghan plotted to murder the eldest sister, but was discovered. After the failure, he was sent to Miaoyin Temple for hard training. Aunt Feng was imprisoned in her own courtyard and was not allowed to leave for the rest of her life.
The two men held a grudge, so they spent a large sum of money to hire a killer from the underworld.
It clearly stated where the money came from, who the money went through, who the middleman was, and who the guarantor was. Aunt Feng's family, who was an official, was also implicated.
A small manager working in the outer court was responsible for finding people in the underworld. After signing the indictment, he died of suffocation.
Aunt Feng was also found dead in her own yard, and Song Qinghan also committed suicide in Miaoyin Temple out of fear of punishment.
That's it, it's all over.
Except for a few people who were in charge of the middle links and were not connected, they were still alive, all the others were dead.
The person who came up with the idea and provided the money died, and the person who made the final contact also died.
Whether we check or not, the result will be this.
If nothing unexpected happens, the letter in Song Qingci's hand will turn into a similar investigation result in the hands of the Dali Temple Minister in a few days.
In other words, whether it is Fengxue Tower or Dali Temple, the result of their investigation into this matter can only be like this.
Of course, this result is only used to shut up people all over the world.
Whoever believes it is a fool.
The person behind this is really generous. The speed is so fast~
Song Qingci handed the book back to Master Xueyi and asked, "Have you found out whether the assassination yesterday was aimed at the general's mansion or at me?"
Song Qingci instinctively felt that this assassination attempt was most likely aimed at her.
Who did the original owner offend, again and again?
Mr. Snowy shook his head, "No one was left alive yesterday."
Song Qingci choked and reached out to hit his head. Well, this was her fault. She was so bloodthirsty yesterday that she didn't even think about leaving anyone alive.
She still has truth serum pills. If there were one or two people left alive, maybe she could find out the answer now.
Miscalculation!
Shan Li pulled Song Qingci's hand, which was beating himself, and said, "Don't blame yourself. The people yesterday were all well-trained assassins. Even if they were left alive, it would probably be useless." The most important thing is that she can ensure her own safety.
The teeth of the death warriors are embedded with poison sacs. When they know they have no chance of survival, they will bite through the poison sacs and commit suicide. They will never give others the opportunity to capture them alive.
"So what will happen to this matter in the end?"
"It is impossible to assassinate the young general and his wife in the General's Mansion without making any noise. After the Dali Temple closes the case, Mr. Song will probably be charged with lax management of his family. As for the punishment, it depends on the decision of the Queen Mother." Shan Li analyzed rationally.
"Empress Dowager?!" Song Qingci was a little confused. How did this come about?
Shan Li nodded and explained, "The Queen Mother of this dynasty has the power to assist in government affairs."
Song Qingci's eyes suddenly brightened up, and he blurted out, "Behind the scenes?!"
It's amazing that there are still such amazing women in this era. I'll see them if I have the chance.
Although Shan Li had never heard of this word, when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be a good description.
Song Qingci thought for a moment, "What kind of punishment do you think the Queen Mother will give in the end?"
Shan Li shook his head. He couldn't guess now. The Queen Mother's behavior in the past two years has become more and more unpredictable. He didn't dare to make any comments.
Empress Dowager~~Song Qingci always felt as if something was connected with these words, but she couldn't remember it.
Oh, what on earth is it?! The more Song Qingci thought about it, the more he got into it. The more he got into it, the less he could remember it. The less he could remember it, the more he wanted to think about it~~
Suddenly, Song Qingci felt a sharp pain in her head, and then she lost consciousness.
"Ah Ci!"
Shan Li saw Song Qingci fall down in front of him without any warning, and he only had time to hug her body as she was about to fall to the ground.
"Ah Ci! Wake up." Shan Li patted Song Qingci's face gently, trying to wake her up. Unfortunately, it didn't work at all.
He turned his head and shouted to the Snow-clad Young Master, "Go find Xiao Wenye!"
After saying that, he rushed to the side room carrying Song Qingci horizontally.
Putting Song Qingci down on the bed, he didn't know why she fainted so suddenly. Was she injured in the assassination yesterday?
Thinking of this, Shan Li began to undress Song Qingci.
If there is no injury in the visible place, then the injury may be in the invisible place.
The more anxious he became, the harder it was to untie his belt. After a while, his patience ran out and he just started tearing it apart.
"Major General! What are you doing?" Yin Xing, who was several steps behind Shan Li, hurried over and finally arrived when she saw her major general tearing the clothes of the young lady.
What is this for?! It's broad daylight! How can the young general do this to the young lady?!
Yin Xing rushed forward, trying to rescue the young lady from the young general. How could he do such a thing in broad daylight?
Shan Li knew that the maid had misunderstood, but he didn't have time to explain to her now, so he just shouted, "Feng Yi, get her away."
As soon as Feng heard the order, he appeared like a ghost and dragged Yinxing away. He didn't say a word and kept his head down the whole time.
When I went out, I closed the door.
When he and Song Qingci were the only ones left in the room, he continued to undress her.
Shoulders, no, collarbones, no,
Chest, no.
Could it be that the injury is on the leg? !
Shan Li lifted Song Qingci's skirt again and took a closer look before realizing that, apart from the scratches on her arms, she had no external injuries. If it wasn't an external injury, could it be poisoning?
It shouldn't be possible. She has such a sophisticated detector and is usually more careful than anyone else. How could she be poisoned?
He reached out again to feel her breath, which was steady and strong.
It seemed like he just fainted.
Suddenly, Song Qingci's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, scaring Shan Li so much that he stepped back.
"You woke up?!" Shan Li was a little bit unbelievable.
Song Qingci said nothing, just stared at him.
Shan Li only realized belatedly that something seemed to be wrong.
Move your eyes down from her face...
He seemed to have taken off all her clothes with his own hands...
It wasn't like he was completely naked, he still had his bellyband on. But this bellyband seemed a little different from the one he had seen in the fire avoidance diagram in the army...
