In Jiangnan, the weather is already a bit hot in July, and there are almost no pedestrians on the streets. At this time, most people are enjoying the cool air at home to avoid the scorching sun.
Following the loud sound of horse hooves, a group of people came on horseback, dressed in exotic styles that were particularly eye-catching.
The group of people finally stopped in front of the closed door of the mansion. The leader of the group had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. His eyes were cold and sharp. He was dressed in blue clothes with beautiful patterns and exuded an intimidating aura.
"Bang!" A foot kicked directly on the door.
The door was quickly opened from the inside. The butler who opened the door looked up and met the man's deep eyes. He bent his feet and knelt down immediately, "Welcome to His Royal Highness."
The person who came was none other than Min Xilin, the eldest son of the current King Min Nan.
Min Xilin didn't even look at him, he went straight to the inner courtyard, pushed open the door of Min Xizhao's room, his eyes stayed on the face of Min Xizhao's maid Yinzhu, "Where is Xizhao?"
Yinzhu knelt down with a thud and said in a trembling voice, "Miss, she is missing..."
"Trash, you can't even look at a person."
Min Xilin went to check Ye Luo's body again, "Oh, it seems that he came prepared, but he couldn't tell what the reason for his death was."
Yinzhu endured her fear and came up to report, "The last place the lady appeared was at the pier..."
After explaining in detail what happened on the day of the accident, Min Xilin remained silent and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.
"Give me the Chadu family and the Xie family!"
Shen Xingwan and Du Qifeng received the news from the first moment Min Xilin entered the city.
Fu Jingchao waved his fan in his left hand and held grapes in his right hand. "You two, please don't run out these days. Min Xilin is a very sharp and dangerous person. If he detects any clues, you will be in trouble."
Du Qifeng was dressed in white, with fluttering sleeves. He acted very calmly, and he had pretty much handled everything that needed to be done.
The Du family has been operating in the south of the Yangtze River for more than 20 years. What businessmen pay attention to is a broad approach. They can deal with people from all walks of life, from north to south, and from all walks of life. If you can't afford to offend them, you can hide them.
"I hope he won't go crazy." Shen Xingwan was a little worried. If he bites like a mad dog and refuses to let go, it will be a big trouble.
In the evening, Min Xilin received news about the Du family. In the past few days, the Du family had begun to sell off all its apparent properties. The entire Du family disappeared from Jiangnan in just a few days.
"Your Majesty, the Du family's actions are obviously ulterior motives!" said the subordinate.
Min Xilin looked at the message in his hand with a cold expression, "Just because the Du family dare not attack Xizhao directly, and they can plot against Ye Luo, there must be someone else behind it."
Judging from the messy things Min Xizhao did in Jiangnan, the most likely person to take action was actually the Xie family.
It's a pity that the Xie family not only produced a queen, but also the head of the Qing Dynasty. There was also a mysterious old lady Shen who was also from the Xie family. Without evidence, Min Xilin really couldn't do anything to the Xie family easily.
The gentle and quiet man who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke, "Actually, there is another person that you have all forgotten."
The speaker was Nangong Xuan, the second young master of the largest aristocratic family in Min and the most powerful follower of the Nangong family.
He and Min Xilin had grown up together, and his presence could be seen in many events planned by Min Xilin. His words in front of Min Xilin had always carried great weight.
When Min Xilin heard this, he raised his eyebrows with interest and said, "Who is it?"
Nangong Xuan's eyes flashed strangely in the candlelight, and he spoke in a low voice, "Didn't you realize that when all the things are connected together, a seemingly inconspicuous figure runs through almost all the events?"
"Oh?" Min Xilin became somewhat interested.
"Shen Xingwan, the dead Du Mingyue was her good friend. The eldest lady once killed her because of Zhou Meidai. Even this time she will be implicated in her life and death with Prince Fu, because the eldest lady suspected that she knew something and still cooperated with her.
It’s unclear whether Prince Fu’s relationship is with him or not.” Nangong Xuan chuckled, “She seems to be of low status, but if you look closely, almost all of these things have something to do with her.”
"Nangong Hyun, are you doubting that a thirteen-year-old girl can have such abilities every day?" Another retorted.
Nangong Xuan lowered his eyes and said calmly, "It doesn't matter if you are young, or if you were born humble. There is always a shortage of talented and intelligent people in this world. Don't underestimate anyone."
Min Xilin pondered for a moment, "It's not impossible. If Fu Jingchao is not dead, it is very likely that she is not dead either."
From the moment they received the news of the accident in Jiangnan, they did not feel that Fu Jingchao was dead.
At least so far, there has been no major movement in the Zhennan Palace, which further shows that Fu Jingchao is very likely to be fine.
If Fu Jingchao is really dead, it's hard to say what Daqi's surname will be in the future. King Zhennan holds half of Daqi's army.
Min Xilin really wanted to crack the prince's head open to see if there was any dregs inside, otherwise why would he touch Fu Jingchao?
Are you not afraid that after killing King Zhennan’s only son, King Zhennan will raise an army to rebel?
On the second day after Min Xilin arrived in Jiangnan, he went to see the Jiangnan magistrate in person. Many people were dispatched, and finally Min Xizhao's unrecognizable body was fished out of the water.
After Fu Jingchao's life and death were unknown and the prince became stupid, it was revealed that the eldest daughter of the Min family died in Jiangnan.
For a time, the saying "Don't go to Jiangnan if you have nothing to do" spread all over the world. This year's Jiangnan is really evil, and no one who came has escaped unscathed.
Dongqing walked quickly to the courtyard hidden in the mountains, "Miss, the latest news is that Crown Prince Min, with a large number of troops, seems to be heading towards Miss Mingyue's cemetery!"
Shen Xingwan stood up in shock, "What is he going to do?"
"Digging graves and whipping corpses is indeed something that Min Xilin, a man from the underworld, did." Fu Jingchao said with some resentment from the side.
Min Xilin went to Beijing every year on behalf of King Min Nan for an audience, and he and Fu Jingchao often hurt each other. It can be said that the two were at odds with each other.
Shen Xingwan stood up, "Why is he so crazy? Does he only take out his anger on dead people?"
"Min Xilin has always been a vicious person, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. If you get angry and exposed, you will be fooled." Fu Jingchao analyzed while reaching out to hold Shen Xingwan, "Sit down and calm down first."
Shen Xingwan felt so angry that she had a headache for a moment. She didn't expect Min Xilin to do such an immoral thing, and she didn't notice that Fu Jingchao kept holding her hand.
Dongqing, who could see clearly, hesitated to speak and wanted to remind Shen Xingwan, but Fu Jingchao glared at her and had to turn around and leave.
Shen Xingwan felt uneasy when he thought that Ming Yue had already been laid to rest and had to be dug up to suffer such a crime.
He didn't even notice that his hand was being held, and Fu Jingchao looked like nothing had happened.
