Qianru and Xiangxiang are Jinlan sisters, making Shangguan Yuan and Changsun Ji brothers-in-law.
There is nothing wrong with riding in the same car, but going to court together will inevitably lead to the mistaken impression that he has joined the Gui King's party.
In this way, the stakes are high!
You’ve been on leave for so long anyway, so what if you have one more day off?
So, as soon as the car left the alley, Shangguan Yuan got out noisily.
Unexpectedly, when Changsun Ji saw that he was not going, he was too lazy to go himself.
Shangguan Yuan clearly felt Chang Sun Ji's intention to win over him, and he kept muttering in his heart, looking for an opportunity to get rid of him.
Unexpectedly, two hours later, Dali Temple sent him a reasonable excuse.
A male corpse was found near Mengqiao Station, and Zuo Zuo deduced that the man's age and time of death were almost the same as those of An Tai.
Seizing this opportunity, Shangguan Yuan took Qianru out of the house as expected.
The carriage from Dali Temple passed near Xiaogu Mountain when it left the south of the city, so Shangguan Yuan stopped by to look for his horse.
That horse followed him for eight years, accompanying him on battlefields and through life and death, which was of great significance.
There were thick green grass and abundant food at the foot of Xiaogu Mountain. He had a hunch that it must still be waiting for him there.
Unexpectedly, when he got closer, he was startled.
The horse didn't know what happened to him, and he died extremely violently, with blood staining the grave.
It was covered in scars and was kneeling on all fours, with its head on An Qianru's grave, making repentant movements like a human being.
Shangguan Yuan subconsciously looked at the lady beside him who turned pale with fright.
She looked confused, as if she knew nothing about the matter.
In order to cover up his fleeting thoughts, Shangguan Yuan decisively covered her eyes.
It happened that a man from Dali Temple was traveling with him, so Shangguan Yuan asked him to help find out the cause of Ma's death.
“The horse’s abdomen was still warm, and he must have died not long ago. The grass left in his mouth had a strong smell of drugs, and there were wounds all over his body that looked like scratches.
It is inferred that the horse was stunned and then attacked with a weapon similar to an eagle's claw, and it bled to death. As for the death seen now, it is obvious that someone did it deliberately."
Who is the one?
Shangguan Yuan was speculating about An Qianru beside him.
At the same time, An Qianru was also speculating, is there anyone alive in Anhou Mansion? Is Shangguan Yuan really related to the murder in Anhou Mansion?
"General Shangguan, how about I run an errand for you and report the case to Jingzhao Mansion?" Yu Cheng said.
It was obvious that someone was secretly targeting him. Shangguan Yuan did not want to make the matter bigger, so he spent some money and asked the official to dig a hole nearby and bury the horse.
Qianru saw that Shangguan Yuan was distracted, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became.
Taking advantage of the fact that it would take some time to dig a hole to bury the body, she helped Shangguan Yuan to a quiet place and hesitated to ask what was in her heart.
"Can you tell me whether you participated in the search of Anhou Mansion?"
"You are not An Xingdao's daughter, why do you care so much?"
"The implication is that you were involved?"
Shangguan Yuan saw that she was staring at him very seriously and admitted frankly, "Yes, but I did not participate, but took the initiative to request an inspection. Even if I don't go, others will go, and the result will be the same!"
Shangguan Yuan stumbled and fell to the ground. Looking at the hatred in Qianru's eyes, he clenched his fists in confusion and expressed the questions in his heart, "I remember how many times you said you were that sick man.
,Why exactly?”
Qianru wanted to blurt out and tell him the truth, but then she thought about it. Not only would no one believe her if she told something that could not be proved, but it would also cause trouble, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it.
Just as an official came over, she pretended that nothing happened and helped Shangguan Yuan up.
But they saw Yi Zhonglun riding his horse towards them.
