C109 Framing

At the Jin Royal Mansion in the capital.

The first thing Chu Yixuan did upon returning to the capital was to uncover the information he had gathered regarding Liu Yan.

That muddle-headed, drunk, and similar person, Liu Yan, was once a court official of a justice court. He was the Supreme Court's junior minister at the time, and was also the assistant of the current justice court's chief minister.

The person who originally had the highest hopes of being promoted to the position of Supreme Court's Junior Official had become addicted to wine and wine after the incident with Zheng Qingtai and had even repeatedly made mistakes. Now, he was dismissed from office.

Others might not know of the connection, but Chu Yixuan knew that he had stumbled upon this person while investigating the crown prince and the crown prince.

Standing in front of the window, he stroked the case file in his hand. The things that he had investigated would be carefully recorded, so that one day they could be of use.

The investigation result in his hands was probably the reason why Zheng Qingtai had been quiet all these years.

At the same time as the death of Zheng Qingtai's wife and children, he had found out that one of the crown prince's subordinates had secretly contacted Liu Yanzhong.

Some people said that Liu Yan was meticulous in his judgement. This so-called probing was not about fairness or truth, but the literal meaning. As long as he was there, not a single clue would be let go.

It was precisely because of this that he had personally invited Liu Yanzhong to the scene to explore for a bit after the incident with Zheng Qingtai's family. However, his conclusion was that his family had perished due to the shock caused by the horses.

Zheng Qingtai naturally did not believe it, but what could he do? Everyone insisted that it was so. Even Liu Yan, who had a sliver of hope in his heart, could only disheartened.

In this case, he could not even set up an investigation.

However, as Chu Yixuan looked at the distinct black and white characters on the paper, a sense of confusion arose in his heart. "Men!"

Behind him was a man dressed entirely in black. He was Chu Yixuan's leader of the hidden guards, and he was also the person in charge of investigating the situation over the years.

"Go investigate all the movements of the people around the First Prince before and after this happened." Chu Yixuan passed the piece of paper to the black-clothed man behind him.

The man in black took the order and left without a sound.

Chu Yixuan was still standing in front of the window, deep in thought.

He didn't think much of it at first, as far as he was concerned, this person's greatest use was to help him uncover the truth about his mother.

But now that the private salt issue had surfaced in front of his eyes, Chu Yixuan realized that there was something even more interesting waiting to be discovered.

On this matter, even though the Yao family had lost a child, they still weren't so brazen as to plot and murder the relatives of the officials of the imperial court.

It just so happened that Zheng Qingtai's family member died a few days later and it was Liu Yanzhong who went to look for him.

It didn't look like he was venting his anger, but rather like he was framing someone.

As for the person who had framed him, other than the First Prince who did not do so, the crown prince being suspicious and the First Prince being irritable, the two of them had never fought since young. When they reached adulthood, both of them coveted for the throne of the Emperor.

If anyone wanted to harm the crown prince the most, it would undoubtedly be the First Prince.

The corners of Chu Yixuan's mouth curled up as an evil smile appeared on his face. This show was becoming more and more interesting.

Shaoxing, Shopkeeper Chen's house.

Su Zixuan was staying in Shopkeeper Chen's house. Interesting to say, the few days she had been out, she had been living in these storekeepers' houses. However, all of them were luxurious beyond compare.

Not to mention a wealthy family, but their family background was definitely not bad. Thinking about this, Su Zixuan felt admiration for her father.

The four shopkeepers did not say that their abilities would definitely be stronger. Rather, these people were people that everyone trusted. They were all subordinates that Su Qian Shan had raised when he was young.

Therefore, Su Qian Shan did not owe them anything. Every year, his share of the profits was given to them in large amounts. It was much more than what the old uncles and masters of the Su family earned.

The money he earned was naturally spent however he wanted. In fact, Su Qian Shan would come down every two years to inspect the house, and even jokingly reminded him not to get up from the house. As long as he cleaned up his own house, he would temporarily stay there.

Thus, Su Zixuan had stayed in their home along the way, and it wasn't much worse than her own.

"Miss, should we go out for a walk?" Ru Yi fanned herself cordially as she looked at Su Zixuan with a pair of bright eyes.

After resting for the entire day yesterday, Ru Yi felt that she should be able to go out and take a look today.

Su Zixuan laughed as she reached out her hand to nod her head. Seeing that the sun wasn't too poisonous, she replied, "Look at how impatient you are. Alright, alright. Go and get Su Mao to arrange things."

Ru Yi immediately jumped away and handed the fan to Lucky. Just as she was about to go find Su Mao, she stopped and took the fan back. She muttered, "Let big sister Lucky go, I'll wait on little miss here."
