Chapter 378: Is it just a coincidence?

Since Ma Xianglan herself has nothing to do with Song Shi'an and has no intersection with the family in the capital, this matter should have nothing to do with Song Shi'an.

However, although I learned such an answer, the whole thing is still too coincidental!

Because of the unique miasma poisoning in Jingzhou, a large-scale epidemic has occurred in the capital. The just way to treat it requires the blood of people who have been infected with the epidemic and recovered from the disease. It happened that Song Shi'an met the conditions. It is natural that the local official was reinstated, and he was also able to take the opportunity to give kindness to the ministers and save the decline of the previous two years. The prestige increased so much that even the emperor had to write down his great achievement. If this is all a coincidence, then God cares too much about Song Shi'an!

"That is to say, there is no doubt about this matter, right?" Jun Yuchen's eyes were slightly dark and he looked gloomy.

Jiang Jiantao nodded and said, "From the news I found, it's like this, but..." He paused and said hesitantly, "I don't know if it's suspicious."

"What?" Jun Yuchen asked vigilantly.

Jiang Jiantao said uncertainly, "In fact, Ma Xianglan's husband is not the victim of Chun Shangju's second shopkeeper. Because this matter involves the epidemic and the master of Helian Mansion, the owner behind Chun Shangju, I didn't dare to take it lightly, so I sent someone to check the whereabouts of Ma Xianglan's husband. It turned out that Ma Xianglan's husband was indeed killed, but he was not the second shopkeeper of Chun Shangju, but selling cloth with Ma Xianglan's husband. The businessman has found the body of Ma Xianglan's husband from his home, and he confessed himself.

"Why does Ma Xianglan think she is the second shopkeeper of Chun Shangju?" Jun Yuchen was keenly aware that something was wrong.

If Ma Xianglan had not believed that Chun Shangju's second shopkeeper was the murderer who killed her husband, and deliberately threw the well into the nearest well to Chun Shangju in order to avenge Chun Shangju, polluting the water source, the epidemic in the capital would not have been so big. If there were not so many people suffering from the epidemic, the medicine would not have been enough, and Song Shi'an would not have been reinstaged so easily.

It is very important why Ma Xianglan thought that Chun Shangju's second shopkeeper was the murderer who killed her husband. Moreover, Jun Yuchen also knows that Helian Mansion is connected with his wife's honor and disgrace, so he will naturally pay more attention to this matter.

According to the murderer's confession, he didn't expect Ma Xianglan to go to Beijing to find her husband. He was very flustered and afraid that Ma Xianglan would notice that he had killed someone, so he wanted to put this matter on others. It happened that the second shopkeeper of Chunshangju bought the house that Ma Xianglan's husband bought before his death. The murderer thought it was a good opportunity to frame the goods, so he deliberately deceived and induced Ma Xianglan to mistakenly think that the second shopkeeper of Chunshangju was the murderer, and deliberately told Ma Xianglan that Chunshangju's wealth is very strong, and it is impossible to win even if he sued to the Beijing Shoufu. , stopping her from suing, thinking about procrastinating for a while, Ma Xianglan didn't have the energy to complain again. Unexpectedly, Ma Xianglan was so stubborn. Seeing that the complaint was hopeless, she threw herself into the well to revenge on Chun Shangju. As a result... caused the spread of the epidemic.

But from this confession, it is also very logical. There is no flaw in finding the slightest flaw, and once again got rid of all the related to Song Shi'an.

"It just sounds like a coincidence. There doesn't seem to be anything suspicious." Jun Yuchen narrowed his eyes slightly, but Song Shi'an's benefits in this matter were so great that it was difficult for him to let him go.

Zichu said next to him, "You said that the person who caused this epidemic is called Ma Xianglan?"

"Yes!" Jiang Jiantao nodded.

Zichu lowered his eyes slightly, then raised his eyes and said slowly, "If you say so, I think this matter is strange."

"What? Does the princess recognize this Ma Xianglan? Jiang Jiantao was a little surprised.

Zichu nodded and told what happened when she left the palace and said, "If this epidemic is caused by the pollution of the water source, then I should have been infected with the epidemic that day when I went out of the palace with Minglu and had a meal in spring, that is to say, the water source has been polluted at that time. In other words, after I met Ma Xianglan, Ma Xianglan immediately threw herself into the well, so that she could make it in time.

"If you say this, the time is a little tight, but it's not impossible." Jiang Jiantao said.

Zichu shook his head: "On the one hand, the time is tight. On the other hand, Ma Xianglan seemed to be misled at that time and thought that it was impossible for Jingzhaofu to redress her, so she deliberately made a big deal. I think she should think that when the matter is big and there are many people paying attention to it, it is not easy for the government to suppress the case. In the final analysis, she still wants to avenge her husband. But at that time, I told her that if she had evidence, she could go to Jingzhao Mansion to complain about the injustice, and the people around her also said so. I felt that Ma Xianglan was moved at that time and wanted to sue, how could she throw herself into the well in a blink of an eye and revenge on Chun Shangju? I always feel that it's very unnatural here.

Jun Yuchen and Jiang Jiantao looked at each other and looked serious.

If Jiang Jiantao found the news alone, Ma Xianglan dared to hire someone to hit the carriage of the second shopkeeper in the street, so as to make a big deal and smear the shopkeeper Cao. Obviously, she is a woman with a strong personality. Such a temperamental woman will not retreat easily. On the contrary, since she is committed to revenge on the shopkeeper Cao, she knows that she is poisoned by miasma, but deliberately committed suicide to revenge on Chun Shangju. Ma Xianglan can also do it, but it does not seem abrupt.

But now, there is a witness, Zichu, who clearly said the situation at that time, so that people can notice that something is wrong.

Ma Xianglan obviously wanted to get justice for her deceased husband. If she had been deceived before and thought that Jing Zhaoyin had corrupted the law, she would not justice the case, but Zichu had clearly told her that Jing Zhaoyin was not such a person, and there were so many people around her. According to reason, Ma Xianglan should try anyway. Once you try, it is impossible to turn your head and throw yourself into the well!

"Are you sure that Ma Xianglan committed suicide, not killed?" Jun Yuchen asked thoughtfully.

Jiang Jiantao said in a low voice, "I can only be sure that she was drowned!" As for whether he killed or not, now the body is soaked and rotten, which is really hard to determine.

If you throw yourself into a well, you will drown, but if you are thrown into the well, you may drown, but the conclusions of the two situations are completely different.

"This matter is indeed strange, but unfortunately, we have no evidence." After a long time, Jiang Jiantao sighed, "Because Song Shi'an has been infected with miasma, he can provide medicine for epidemic patients, and," a sarcastic smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. "It is said that our right prime minister is now very kind-hearted and loving the people like children. In order to save more epidemic patients, despite the dissuasion of the imperial doctor, he cut blood to save him. So much so that he fainted several times, and now everyone is praising him, and his momentum is flourishing. If there is not enough evidence, some doubts alone are not enough to make him guilty, but also attract some unnecessary criticism to the princess and the prince. Therefore, now it seems that we can only put up with it for the time being.

Jun Yuchen remembered the news brought by Song Zilan and Ye Heminglu before. Thinking that Song Shi'an did not hesitate to sacrifice Zichu and Helian's mansion as his stepping stone in order to recover, and almost caused himself and Zichu to lose this child, his anger could not be extinguished. Go down.

Hearing this, the corners of his lips were slightly bent and cold as ice: "Yes, we have no evidence now, but it doesn't mean that we have nothing to do with Song Shi'an and his son. It's really interesting to look for it without evidence, and then reveal it at the right opportunity!"

If it is known, the epidemic is deliberately arranged by Song Shi'an and his son behind their backs. The purpose is to restore Song Shi'an's officials and return to the court, and at the same time show their kindness to the group of ministers. For their own self-interest, tens of thousands of eunuchs and nobles are infected and even killed. At that time, the situation will be more wonderful...< /P>

As for Song Ziqing, Song Zilan also promised Zichu and her husband that they would do their best to find out the truth from their sister. Let's see what else Song Shi'an and his son have in order to deal with it in time.

Besides, Song Shi'an returned to his position and returned to the court. Jun Yuchen and Jiang Jiantao were very vigilant, especially Jun Yuchen. They were more worried about what Song Shi'an would do about Zichu and Helianfu, so they were fully prepared.

For the child in Zichu's womb, he has already unified his caliber with the emperor and only said that he had a small labor. Now after waking up, Zichu is weak and can't see anyone.

However, unexpectedly, Song Shi'an, who returned to the court, actually changed his appearance. Although he was not gentle and elegant to people and things, he was no longer as arrogant as before, and exhausted his mind on business. Even when he met Jun Yuchen and Jiang Jiantao, he could meet him with a smile and pretended to get along well. Posture. Even occasionally face-to-face with Helian Haoran in the city, and there is no more outrageous words and deeds. Most of them turned their faces when they touched it, as if there was no person in front of him.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiantao and Jun Yuchen were relieved, but Zichu felt a little puzzled.

On this day, Ye Heminglu and Jiang Jiantao, as well as Nangong Qingyang Song Zilan and his wife came to visit Zichu in Yulan Palace.

"He returned to the world this time, which is completely different from the past. It seems that he really thought about it while keeping filial piety and realized the inappropriateness of his previous behavior, so he changed his mind when he came out again. Such a change was really unprepared. Coupled with his virtues of sacrificing himself to save others during the epidemic, many people in the hall today praised him and actually swept away the previous haze.

Zichu's face was calm when he talked about his father, but there was only a trace of irony in his eyes, which truly reflected the disgust in her heart.

"This is called the country that is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change!" Jun Yuchen said lightly, "It's just that I'm at a disadvantage now and I have to make a look."

Jiang Jiantao nodded and then sighed, "It's just that it's not good for us. If Song Shi'an is still as arrogant and arrogant as before, whether it is grasping his handle or design, there are still traces to follow. Now he knows how to restrain and be cautious everywhere. He is even more powerful in business. He slips like a loach, but makes us unable to do it.
