"why?"

Jiang Huaizhi was stunned when he heard this.

Their eyes met, and they both caught something from each other's words.

They were all talking to themselves just now, and the reason was that the information was not communicated in a timely manner.

Luo Qiongchuan had many spies under his command, but the events on Baiyun Mountain were not widely publicized, and the King of Qi had not yet left the palace, so the news had not yet reached him.

At this point, Jiang Huaizhi sat down and immediately told everything he knew.

The more Luo Qiongchuan listened, the tighter his brows furrowed, and the more sinister and terrifying the expression on his face became: "I'm afraid someone is interfering in this."

There was no plan to kill anyone from the Jiang Mansion!

Although this sounds more vivid and realistic, and it is easier for the prince of Weiguo to believe it, it will also be very costly. For example, now, I am afraid that they have already started searching the mountains and suppressing the bandits.

"Lord Luo, the prince has some news to send back."

Luo Qiongchuan immediately took the note from the servant and glanced at it. His mood sank. Seeing Jiang Huaizhi looking at him, he said, "The soldiers from the Military Affairs Department have left the city to search the mountains, and those bandits fell into the hands of Master Xu last night."

Not to mention broad daylight, there was no chance to get rid of them on the way from the outskirts of Beijing to the Shuntian Prefecture Prison. Even if there was, according to the time when the news was received, they would have been imprisoned by now.

The only thing to be thankful for is that these bandits had simply wandered here, and apart from doing things as required and getting paid, they knew nothing else.

"Master Jiang, please go back first."

As soon as Jiang Huaizhi left, Luo Qiongchuan immediately sent people to investigate. Who was so bold as to avoid them?

......

When Jiang recovered, Wu had been waiting in the hall for nearly an hour.

Although she wanted to raise an army to hold Jiang Hao accountable, her status was far inferior to Jiang Hao's. The county lord was resting, so even though she was dissatisfied, she could only wait patiently.

Jiang Hao did not show any apology when he saw Wu. After sitting down, he waited for the maid to bring tea, took a sip and put it back on the table, then asked Wu why she came.

Although, she had basically guessed it.

Mrs. Wu looked haggard, her eyes were red and swollen, and bloodshot, and it was obvious that she had not slept all night.

But what does it have to do with her?

Jiang Hao looked at her with a faint smile, and calmly asked Wu about Jiang Qiyao's situation. Wu, who was already feeling guilty, was a little confused now: "County... County Lady."

"Madam suspected that I was the one who murdered Miss Jiang, but why can't she ask?"

Mrs. Wu was stunned when she heard this and looked at Jiang Hao in disbelief, as if the other party had seen through her at a glance.

"Since Madam can't ask, I don't mind doing it for you."

Jiang Hao still maintained a faint smile: "However, what may disappoint Madam is that it is not me. As for who it is, we will have to wait until Miss Jiang wakes up and ask her."

"County Lady..."

Wu had already sensed Jiang Hao's alienation towards Jiang Qiyao. He kept calling her "Miss Jiang" left and right, which made Wu feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

In terms of relatives, Jiang Hao is a little older than Jiang Qiyao, so she should at least be called "cousin", right?

"Madam already knows the answer, please go back."

Jiang Hao had already stood up: "Xiangling, show the guest away."

Xiangling glanced at Wu, who looked unhappy, and took a few steps forward, bowing and saying, "Madam, please."

After all, Wu came from a prominent family and had to maintain her reputation. When she saw Jiang Hao ordering her to leave, she stood up immediately.

Just as she said goodbye and walked out, Jiang Hao's voice came from behind again: "If Miss Jiang wakes up, please send a message to Madam. I have something to ask her."

Wu was startled when she heard this.
