After listening to Li Biao's words, Shen Yanqing was thoughtful.
Li Biao scratched his head, not thinking that this clue could reveal anything at all.
The people from the Prime Minister's Mansion have left overnight. This man has not shown up and no one has seen him. Moreover, there are so many people with the surname Sun in the world. Finding a stranger is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Sir, are we still investigating?"
Now that everyone is gone, they have to go to the capital to find out. Shen Yanqing has no roots in the capital, let alone that he is from the Prime Minister's Mansion. They have no evidence to arrest him.
"The capital city will be safe for now. When the Duke's men come, I will ask him to investigate. What you have to do is to search the city and make sure to root out all the suspicious people!"
Although the murderer has left, Shen Yanqing is still worried. If they still have a backup plan, it will be too late for him to regret after hurting Jiang Miao.
"yes."
Jiang Miao was listening when Li Biao reported. It was related to her personal safety. Jiang Miao didn't want to be kept in the dark. Shen Yanqing left everything up to her and there was nothing she couldn't know.
"The person named Sun... is also related to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Sir, do you think Prime Minister Liu wants my life, or does this person named Sun want to kill me?"
Jiang Miao asked in confusion, Shen Yanqing had not yet risen, and she was still just the county magistrate's wife. Jiang Miao felt that Prime Minister Liu should not take the two of them seriously, and did not seem like someone who would send someone to assassinate her.
But who is this person named Sun?
Jiang Miao didn't remember having a grudge against someone. What kind of hatred caused him to sneak into Zhenjiang Mansion to kill her with great fanfare?
Shen Yanqing was also thinking, unlike Jiang Miao who was confused, he had a candidate in mind.
The person surnamed Sun is also related to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there is only one person who has a grudge against them.
"Sun Hao."
"Sun Hao? The Sun Hao who falsely accused you of cheating?"
As soon as Shen Yanqing said his name, Jiang Miao, he immediately remembered it, not only because Sun Hao almost put Shen Yanqing in jail.
Sun Yuanbao also kidnapped her and wanted to take her by force. If Shen Yanqing hadn't arrived in time, she might not have escaped so quickly. These two people also made Jiang Miao know the dangers of the human heart, so she remembered it clearly.
"But isn't Sun Hao imprisoned? And what is his relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Cheating is a big deal, and he will not be released for three to five years. Moreover, he was expelled from the imperial examination. How could an amateur get into the Prime Minister's Palace? Jiang Miao was puzzled.
A stern look flashed in Shen Yanqing's eyes, and he clenched his fists thinking about what happened back then, hating that he had no power and could not eradicate the roots, almost hurting Jiang Miao again.
"Sun Yuanbai spent all his wealth to get him out of prison. Sun Hao's mother is the sister of the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion. My classmate in Shengjing Academy is Liu Wenxuan, the legitimate son of the Liu family. Sun Hao once came to the academy with him, and he lost his life because of me. Qiancheng naturally hates me to the core."
Therefore, the only person who has the motive to harm Jiang Miao is Sun Hao.
Jiang Miao didn't expect it was him, and her face turned red with anger.
"I don't take the right path and think about cheating, and I still hold a grudge after being exposed. We must not let this villain go!"
"My lord, now that we know who the murderer is, can we arrest him? Not only did he hurt me, he also had two lives in his hands. I don't believe that the Prime Minister's Office will protect him!"
Shen Yanqing poured her a glass of water and let her breathe slowly. He breathed a sigh of relief after knowing who the murderer was. They only needed to find ways to deal with the known dangers, but they were afraid that the murderer was unknown and they had to be constantly on guard.
"This is just my conjecture and cannot be counted as evidence. Although he is just a servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Liu will not allow me to come and arrest people, so I have to ask Duke Lu to let his investigative experts help me. And Sun Hao has already exposed his flaws, I am not afraid that he will not be exposed."
"Okay, but once Sun Hao knows that I'm fine, I'm afraid he will have murderous intentions again. I think we have to cut it off at the source. Wait until I draw a portrait of him and let the officers and soldiers guarding the city pass it around. Then he dares to If he shows up in Zhenjiang Mansion again, he will be arrested!"
Jiang Miao is very vengeful. She almost lost her life. How could she spare the murderer? Fortunately, she has the skills of sketching. When the people guarding the city remember his appearance, as long as Sun Hao comes again, he will fall into the trap. .
"good."
Shen Yanqing chuckled lightly and tapped the tip of her nose with his finger, his eyes filled with affection.
"But I have to wait until all your injuries are healed before painting."
The portrait took a long time, and Jiang Miao's wound had not yet scabbed, so he was afraid that she would make the wound worse if she didn't care.
"I know, sir, don't worry."
Jiang Miao cherishes her life very much. She will not make fun of her body. But when she is completely healed, she will make sure that Sun Hao looks good!
Beijing
Sun Hao drove all night, and they arrived in the capital at dawn. Sun Hao was full of energy after sleeping all the way, and followed the carriage and horse into the Prime Minister's Mansion. He had done things beautifully and cleanly this time, so he wanted to go and talk to Liu as soon as possible. Like smoke invites credit.
"Are you sure Jiang Miao is disfigured?"
Liu Ruyan's expression was urgent and her tone was a little excited. She had waited so long for Shen Yanqing's poor wife to die. Will her wish finally come true this time?
"Little sure!"
Sun Hao said emphatically. Although he did not see Jiang Miao's fate with his own eyes, ever since Mrs. Wang poured hot oil on her, the county government office has been heavily guarded. Doctors have come in and out, and Shen Yanqing has never appeared outside again. People were sent to search for the murderer.
Therefore, Sun Hao speculated that Jiang Miao's injury must be serious, otherwise Shen Yanqing would not be so concerned.
"Okay! You didn't disappoint me this time."
Liu Ruyan was happy and gave him a smile like a gift. Sun Hao came early and Liu Ruyan didn't have time to dress up.
She wore a crimson chest-length skirt, her hair was tied up with only a gold hairpin, and her hair was spread loosely behind her head. Her face, which was not painted with makeup, lost its usual arrogance and looked more like a young lady's. , a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, like spring flowers in full bloom, bright and moving, Sun Hao was dazzled, and his mind was filled with excitement.
Beautiful, so beautiful. She was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch like a fairy. Her breath was filled with the warm fragrance of the girl. Sun Hao took a deep breath intoxicatedly and was a little reluctant to leave.
When Liu Ruyan saw his wretched appearance, her pretty face immediately fell and she shouted sternly.
"Still not leaving?"
Only then did Sun Hao come back to his senses. He kept his head down and had a flattering smile on his face.
"Madam, don't be angry. I'll leave right now. If you have any other tasks in the future, just leave them to me. I'll definitely handle them for you!"
He looked at her a few more times and kept Liu Ruyan's beauty in mind. Even if Liu Ruyan kept scolding him, he would still be willing to work for her, as long as he could see her often, let alone get money.
Sun Hao weighed the money bag in his hand. The money was enough for him to buy new goods. With brocade silk and satin, he could win over customers.
