Shen Xuhuai naturally knew that Zhao Guanglin was killed, but whether he would make the decision for him was another matter.

He calmly pulled out his sleeves and said to Zhao Zhiyue: "Your Majesty will decide about your father's affairs. If you know something, you might as well say it earlier to avoid suffering."

Zhao Zhiyue didn't quite understand the meaning of these words, she raised her head to look at him, and saw that the person in front of her had a clear face and a tall and straight figure, like a green bamboo growing from a rocky cliff, upright and elegant.

It's just that his eyes were very indifferent, and when they fell on him, although they were calm, they made people feel a bit of coolness.

Zhao Zhiyue's tears were still wet, and she withdrew her hand weakly: "My lord, dare to ask my father what crime he committed?"

Shen Xuhuai didn't hide from her, and said frankly: "The charge has not yet been determined, but if evidence is found, it should be a felony of killing everyone."

"What." Zhao Zhiyue's face turned pale, and the breath she was holding on for an instant slackened, and she fell limply.

"."

Shen Xuhuai probably didn't expect this girl to be so weak, but after she said a word, she was so frightened that she fainted?
Zhao Guanglin colluded with Song Yinian to forge evidence, frame the prince, and conceal the Guiyagu Iron Mine incident.

This matter was expected in Shen Xuhuai's eyes, but to Zhao Zhiyue, it was a bolt from the blue.

Wen Sheng poked his head out from behind, looked at Zhao Zhiyue who had passed out, and explained in a low voice: "My son, I forgot to tell you that Miss Zhao suffered from a disease in her mother's womb. The doctor said she would not survive. Zhao Guanglin these years She has been taking good care of her all the time. She was frightened last night, and after hearing what you said, she probably couldn't bear the blow, so she fainted."

Shen Xuhuai glanced at him coldly: "Since you know, why do you still put him in jail?"

"This..." Wen Sheng didn't think about it either, but he couldn't explain the situation at that time.

Shen Xuhuai looked at the unconscious Zhao Zhiyue, and only then noticed that her skirt was stained with blood.Although she is Zhao Guanglin's daughter, there are some things she may not know.

Then they sent Zhao Zhiyue to the Xiyuan Wing Room, and invited the doctor over.

After the doctor saw it, his eyebrows were almost knotted. He was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "My lord, forgive me for my incompetence. The villain can only cure this girl's cold. As for the other adults, I'd better ask someone else to do it." .”

Shen Xuhuai subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"This girl is born with heart disease and cannot be stimulated. If she is healthy, she may live for a few more years. But she was frightened and caught a cold. Although she didn't have an attack at the moment, she will have a fever later. Get up, whether you can survive tonight is uncertain!"

Shen Xuhuai's eyes were serious, and without further words, he asked the doctor to prescribe the medicine and left the room.

Wen Sheng saw that his expression was not right, and hurriedly followed him: "My lord, you don't have to blame yourself, I'll ask other doctors to come and have a look."

Shen Xuhuai stood still and looked back at him: "When did I show guilt?"

"Aren't you just—" Wen Sheng didn't dare to continue, stepped back a little, and changed the subject, "My lord, do you want to invite the doctor to see Miss Zhao again?"

Shen Xuhuai's expression softened, and he said, "Let people watch, don't let her die here."

Wen Sheng agreed, and after exiting Xiyuan, a man dressed as a guard walked towards him.He cupped his hands and said to Shen Xuhuai: "My lord, Song Yinian's body was brought back, and Wu Zuo found this in his calf."

Saying that, he handed over the bloody key to Shen Xuhuai.

Shen Xuhuai looked at it for a moment, then put away the things: "I see, let someone withdraw it tonight."

"Yes."

After he left, Wen Sheng asked: "My lord, don't you want to find out where this key came from?"

"No need to check," Shen Xuhuai patiently analyzed, "Song Yinian is unwilling to be abandoned. He hid this key in his flesh and blood just to let us avenge him, so there is no need to check to know what is hidden behind this key."

"Then what are you going to do next?"

Both Zhao Guanglin and Song Yinian were dead, and everything was burnt to a clean slate. During this trip to Tongzhou, except for this key of unknown origin, it seemed that no useful clues were found.

Shen Xuhuai only said two words: "Go back to Beijing."

Wen Sheng was surprised: "But we haven't found out who is Song Yinian's boss, so going back like this, isn't it too hasty?"

"No, Song Yinian is dead, it doesn't make any sense to stay in Tongzhou, now is the best time to go back."

Wen Sheng felt it was strange, yesterday he clearly said that the return date was uncertain, but today he said he was going back to Beijing.

Sensing his doubts, Shen Xuhuai walked along the corridor to the vestibule without explaining.

Returning to Beijing is just for others to hear, his real purpose is not here.

The news of Song Yinian's death spread back to the capital within a few days, Cai Qi's heart that had been hanging for several days finally settled down, turned around and stepped into the study, and reported the matter to Cai Yuan.

Cai Yuan wrote something on the paper, and after listening to it, he said in a neutral tone: "Although Song Yinian is dead, but the same state can't be empty, let's arrange someone else to go there."

"Yes," Cai Qi nodded slightly, "By the way, father, there is one more thing. We found Jiang Zhou in Nanyang, but when we tracked down Linchuan, he suddenly disappeared."

"Linchuan?" Cai Yuan paused, "If I remember correctly, that person's hometown is Linchuan."

"That's right, but it's been deserted for many years, maybe it's just a coincidence that Jiangzhou disappeared there?"

Cai Yuan felt vigilant, shook his head and said: "There will be no such a coincidence, don't forget, there is only one other person who knows that kind of weird technique besides Yao Xingzheng."

Cai Qi couldn't help becoming serious: "You mean the ghost doctor? But she has been missing for many years, and she might have died long ago. What's more, the ghost doctor has unpredictable temperament. Although he is called a doctor, he practiced sorcery. How? It's not likely that the ghost doctor will help."

"You still forgot one person." Cai Yuan put down his pen and slowly leaned back, "A few days ago someone left the capital, and he went in the direction of Linchuan."

Cai Qi thought about it carefully, but didn't remember: "I don't know who father is talking about?"

"Sun Fuzhi."

Cai Qi had an impression of the name, so he said: "Sun Zhongxing's hometown is in Ruzhou, and Ruzhou is not far from Linchuan, so it is reasonable for Sun Fuzhi to go in that direction."

But Cai Yuan didn't think so: "If he was only Sun Zhongxing's eldest grandson, I wouldn't doubt him, but he has another identity——"

The curiosity in Cai Qi's heart was completely aroused: "What is it?"

"Back then, Yan Hongjin gave birth to a son and a daughter. Now that the daughter has returned to the Su family, the son's whereabouts are unknown, and Sun Fuzhi is the child who has been missing for many years from the Su family."
