After entering the book, I emptied the warehouse of my foster mother's house to farm

Jiang Huaizhi's death quickly evolved from "suspect committing suicide" to "suicide out of fear of punishment", and the whole case ended with him.

The instigator had died, and his children had gained nothing from the incident. After someone had orchestrated the incident, Wu and her children were released.

Jiang Huaizhi's body was also taken back with them.

After the four people in the prison interrogated him again, they all put the blame on Jiang Huaizhi. But they had too many lives on their hands, and no matter who ordered them, they would not be able to escape death.

Shuntian Prefecture sentenced the person to immediate execution, and the Dali Temple agreed with the verdict after reviewing the case.

With the four people being beheaded, the case in Baiyun Mountain was apparently settled.

But those who are well aware of the matter know that there is actually a lack of evidence to support this matter. The fact that the four dead people changed their statements again and again is enough to prove that there is another hidden story behind this matter.

However, it was picked up high and dropped gently, obviously someone didn't want to make a bigger deal out of this matter.

Who do Shuntian Prefecture and Dali Temple listen to?

The answer is of course self-evident.

Jiang Hao and Xu Xing are both chess pieces in this matter, and the two chess pieces made an appointment to meet at Millennium Building.

"The emperor may know who arranged this scene, but he doesn't want to expose the real culprit."

Jiang Hao's slender white fingers gently stroked the rim of the cup, and his deep eyes stared at the slightly swaying tea in the cup, wondering what he was thinking.

Xu Xing picked up the gurgling water from the stove and poured it into the teacup. He put it back and picked up the tea lid to skim off the foam. While making tea, he said, "In the past year, there have been too many scandals involving the princes and lords. Prince Ning is now a useless man, the deposed crown prince is dead, and Prince Wei is simple-minded... Among the short men, Prince Qi is the most likely to be the general..."

Of course, if my aunt did not participate in the fight for the throne.

Xu Xing did not point this out because Concubine Shu had always let the Seventh Prince stay in the army to train and had not brought him out to the public.

But after many days of pondering and analyzing the information he had obtained, he guessed that the incident at Baiyun Mountain was closely related to his aunt.

From Shu Guifei's perspective, her fight for the throne could be said to be in line with the current situation, or it could be said to be forced.

After all, the Seventh Prince is already an adult.

No matter who will be the emperor in the future, the King of Wei or the King of Qi, they are getting older, while the Seventh Prince is in his prime. Add to that the fearsome Weiguo Mansion and the Xu family army, and there is no guarantee that the new emperor will target them after he ascends the throne.

Rather than being persecuted and then resisting, and being labeled a traitor, it is better to take the initiative from the beginning, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and seize the best opportunity.

This was also the reason why Xu Xing asked the ancestor to meet Yan Heng when he knew that she was the counselor in the Seventh Prince's mansion.

Have you really decided to give it a try?

Jiang Hao drank up the tea in his hand and denied the second half of Xu Xing's words: "If we want to select a general from among the short men, the King of Qi may not be the only one to choose."

Xu Xing didn't respond.

"Except for the two princes who have been crowned, the Sixth Prince, the Seventh Prince, and the Eighth Prince are all adults. Not to mention that the Sixth Prince's mother is only a concubine, and he is not favored, but what about the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince?"

"The mother of the Seventh Prince is Consort Shu, who is backed by the Duke of Wei's Mansion; the mother of the Eighth Prince is Consort Chun, who is backed by the Minister of Justice's Mansion. The Li family behind Minister Li is a big clan."

"So, why must he be the King of Qi?"
