After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Liu Yunxiang knew that the third prince died miserably. When she took Zijin to the third prince's mansion, she asked the housekeeper to send someone to deliver a message to Yan Mu outside the city.

On the mountain outside the city, people from the Beijing Suburban Camp, Jingzhao Mansion, the Five Cities Military and Horse Department, and the Ministry of Punishment were all still there, but there was still no news from the palace.

"Collect the body of His Highness the Third Prince and bring it back to the Punishment Department." Yan Mu ordered.

The officers were still searching everywhere, but apart from finding the boots, they found no other clues. Yan Mu asked the people from the Criminal Department to stay and continue the search. The Jingjiao Camp, Jingzhao Mansion and the Wucheng Military and Horse Division could withdraw first.

"The other servant hasn't been found yet, so we, the Soldiers and Horses Division, should also stay." Qin Fei said.

"This is a matter of the Ministry of Justice." Yan Mu said.

"But our troops are idle, so we have to find something to do."

This was because he wanted to steal work from their criminal department. Yan Mu waved his hand and said, "You can do whatever you want."

Yan Mu told Dahei a few words and planned to return to the city and then enter the palace.

As soon as he turned around, he thought of something and turned to look at Qin Fei.

"Little Shuanzi is dead."

Qin Feishi raised his eyebrows, "That kid from Shan Nian Camp?"

"Well, he died early in the morning."

Qin Feishi said with regret: "What a pitiful child. He was about to leave the prison, but he died inside. But the outside world is worse, and dying for him would be an escape from the difficulties."

Yan Mu took a step closer to Qin Fei, "How did he die?"

"you ask me?"

"Yes, let me ask you."

Qin Feishi said amusedly: "You don't think it was me who killed that child, do you? Why should I?"

Yan Mu's eyes were sharp: "Yes, I also want to know why."

Qin Feishi's expression slowly cooled down, and he stared at Yan Mu without saying a word.

"I don't think you dare to admit it, right? After all, the child has no father or mother, and he came from the Shannian Camp. The government won't care about his life or death at all, and they won't investigate the truth, so what are you afraid of? ?”

Qin Fei still looked at Yan Mu with a solemn expression, but just when Yan Mu thought he had really wronged him, he actually burst into laughter.

"Why don't you guess, how and why I killed him."

Yan Mu gritted his teeth and said, "It's really you!"

Qin Feishi spread his hands and said, "There is nothing I dare not admit."

"He's just a kid!"

"Oh, he is a poor and innocent child. He is even obedient and well-behaved. If he can grow up, he will definitely be a good person. He will marry a wife and have children, and live a plain but happy life. He will have relatives and friends, and a period of time. A wonderful life. So what, can’t I kill him?”

Yan Mu took a step back. When he looked at Qin Fei, he saw that this man looked harmless, but his heart was indeed vicious and his methods were even more ruthless.

Compared to the murderer who used extreme means to kill Qin Shengrui, a person like Qin Feishi was more terrifying.

He doesn't even need a reason to kill, he even just wants to have fun.

"I'm good at using poison, so it's not difficult to kill him."

Yan Mu thought for a while, "We asked the prison guard and found out that no one except a few of us had touched Xiao Shuanzi yesterday."

"What about before yesterday? My poison, the King of Hell has to ask me how long it will take to kill someone!"

"Before?"

"Xue Hefeng went to the cell before and gave the child two steamed buns as a pretense of kindness. He ate them cleanly."

"So from the very beginning, you were poisoned, knowing that he would definitely die. No wonder you were so happy to agree last night, because I won, but I didn't win back Xiao Shuanzi's life."

Qin Feishi smiled, "Want to beat me? Ha, this is the price!"

"What price?"

"The fish is dead and the net is broken!"

Yan Mu clenched his hands into fists, "Just because you didn't want me to win, you killed the child?"

Qin Fei shrugged, then raised his head and looked further away, "Back then, I was just like that child, who was wronged and bullied. He had no family, but you had you helping him and running for him. As for me, I clearly have a mother and relatives, but they don't believe me, don't care about me, don't help me, so that... I have become a evil person. Why should he? He can still be a good person when he grows up, but I can only choose one way Go to the dark side. I am just seeking justice for myself."

Yan Mu really couldn't understand Qin Feishi's thinking, "You did bad things and became a villain, and in the end you looked innocent and suffering. Who do you want to disgust to death?"

Qin Feishi clicked his tongue, "What are you doing with such righteous words? It's like you haven't done anything bad."

"I'm not a good person, but I'm not as disgusting as you!"

Just as the two of them were at war with each other, an officer from the First Army and Horse Division ran over and said that he had found another servant. He was also seriously injured, but he said the name of the murderer before he died.

"Wei Shuyi, the eunuch in charge of etiquette in the palace!"

Qin Feishi frowned, "Who are you talking about?"

"Wei Sili!"

When he heard the name, he couldn't help but swayed, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Wei Sili kill His Highness the Third Prince!"

"But my subordinates heard it clearly, and others..."

"To shut up!"

At this time, people sent by the palace steward also came and whispered something to Yan Mu.

Yan Mu thought for a moment and shouted to Dahei: "Take someone with you, let's go to the Third Prince's Mansion!"

Seeing Yan Mu leaving in a hurry, Qin Feishi grabbed the official and stared into his eyes, "Tell me again, who is the murderer?"

The officer trembled and said Wei Shuyi's name again, "Your Highness, many of us have heard it, we can't, we can't get it wrong."

Qin Feishi pushed the official away, and at this moment he finally felt the pain of losing his left and right arms. Those were the ears, eyes, and mouth of Wei Shuyi who had been trained by Shangguan Xu for many years and placed beside the emperor.

How could he be so stupid as to kill the Third Highness!

Qin Fei glanced again at the direction Yan Mu left. He pondered for a moment, and then asked the people from the Military and Horse Division to follow him down the mountain to the Third Prince's Mansion.

Here, Liu Yunxiang hurriedly arrived at the Third Prince's Mansion.

After learning that the third prince had been murdered, the house was in chaos. The servants were busy hanging white silk ribbons in the front yard and decorating the mourning hall.

Liu Yunxiang asked a boy to take her to Su Rumeng's residence in the backyard. When she came to the courtyard gate, she saw her mother-in-law and maidservants guarding the courtyard gate.

"I heard that the third sister-in-law fainted from grief. How is she doing now?"

The old woman said with a bitter face: "I'm awake, but I'm not eating or drinking. She even drove us outside the courtyard and didn't allow us to go in and disturb her."

Liu Yunxiang went into the courtyard and saw that the door to the main room was closed and there was no light in the west room.

She thought for a moment, then walked inside.

When she walked to the door, she looked at the door and said, "Sister Su, it's me."

It was quiet for a while before Su Rumeng's voice came out: "Yun, Yunxiang, I'm fine, you go back first."

"Sister, is everything okay?"

"No, it's fine."

Liu Yunxiang listened carefully inside, but didn't hear anything. She thought about it again and simply opened the door.

"Sister Su, I'm coming in."

"Yunxiang!"

"I'm still worried about you and want to see you."

"Then, come in alone. I don't want others to see me like this."

Liu Yunxiang turned his head and winked at Zijin, and then went in alone.
