Pretty Fox: Misunderstood His Royal Highness

Chapter 301 Killing with a Knife 4
This incident shocked the entire capital.

Who is the old lady?The grand princess!Now her son, General Ye Zhongtian, for the benefit of the country and the dignity of the nation, went on an expedition to the Western Regions, and bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield filled with gunpowder regardless of his life.But at this time, the old lady encountered a fire of unknown origin and almost died.

The queen mother was also alarmed and demanded strict handling of the matter.All the ministers also came forward one after another, asking the emperor to find out the truth and give the old lady and all the female relatives of the General's Mansion a clear explanation.

The emperor was also furious, and immediately ordered Dali Temple Minister Song Yuanfang to investigate the matter strictly, and the case must be resolved within 20 days.

Dali Siqing, the highest official in charge of the country's prisons, one of the three chief justices.Song Yuanfang, who served as Minister of Dali Temple, was in his forties. He was well-known for his erudition, ability to solve strange cases, and quick-wittedness.He also has many shortcomings, he is arrogant, can't understand mediocrity, is unsmiling, too serious, doesn't know how to deal with the world, is not popular, and is not easy to make friends with.

Song Yuanfang has a younger brother named Song Yuanren.

When Song Yuanren was naughty when he was young, he fell off a tall branch while climbing a tree, broke a foot, hurt his hamstring, and became lame.From then on, Song Yuanren became taciturn, immersed himself in his studies, was quite resourceful and able to make good decisions. Song Yuanfang had a very good relationship with him, trusted him very much, and consulted him for everything.

Song Yuanren's shortcoming is greed for money.

Dali Shaoqing Zheng Shixian is Song Yuanfang's deputy and is acquainted with Song Yuanren.Zheng Shixian found an opportunity to make love to Song Yuanren, and then took him to the "Zhengji Jade Store" run by his second brother Zheng Shiming.When Zheng Shiming saw Song Yuanren, he immediately took out several peerless treasures for him to watch.

When Song Yuan saw it, he couldn't put it down immediately.

Zheng Shiming was very generous, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan Ren, do you like it very much? If Brother Yuan Ren likes it, then I will give it all to Brother Yuan Ren."

Song Yuanren hurriedly said: "These rare antiques are priceless, how can I have the nerve to want them?"

Zheng Shiming said: "The Sixth Highness asked me to give these to Brother Yuan Ren, to make Brother Yuan Ren happy." After a pause, Zheng Shiming said again: "The Sixth Highness asked Brother Yuan Ren for something. Brother Ren can help."

Song Yuanren was flattered: "Is there anything Your Highness needs my help for?"

Zheng Shixian and Zheng Shiming are Yuan Qingluo's uncles.

The arson matter was not committed by Yuan Qingluo, but he was an insider, and the arsonist had already fallen into his hands.If Song Yuanfang wanted to solve this case, he had to go through Yuan Qingluo, otherwise he would have no clue at all, because the perpetrator's methods were concealed and clever, and it could be said to be seamless without leaving any clues.

The arsonist was a young monk doing odd jobs in the kitchen, named Wu Hanpeng, his target was not the old lady, but Ye Qiqi.

Who is Wu Hanpeng?
He used to be Zheng Yinan's subordinate and loyal follower.In Zheng Yinan's robbery, he happened to go down the mountain on business, so he escaped by luck.Zheng Yinan died, and the cottage was burned down. Few of the brothers in the cottage could survive. He had nowhere to go, so he entered Pushan Temple to become a monk.Seeing Ye Qiqi this time, he only wanted to avenge Zheng Yinan, but he didn't want Yuan Qingluo and Hong Hao to find out his motives.

The reason why Yuan Qingluo didn't stop it was because he wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and blamed the matter on the head of Mr. Zhou, and dragged Yuan Qingwu into the water by the way.
