The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Duke Liang stroked his beard, nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "Do you know why your house was robbed? Are there any suspicious clues?"

Song Wenjie was overjoyed; he was waiting for the Duke to ask this.

Humph, Gu Qinghuai, you are finished!

Song Wenjie immediately responded, "My Lord, two days before my house was robbed, Gu Qinghuai, now the Princess of Qinghe County, and General Xiaoyong went to my house and used force to force me and my sister Gu Qingtao to divorce, and took away my three daughters."

"Oh? Is this true?" The Duke straightened up, his eyes shining with excitement.

I really didn't expect that this matter was actually related to the Princess of Qinghe County!

It was someone else who accused the Princess of Qinghe County, and he did not interfere.

Haha, it’s like giving you a pillow when you’re sleepy!

Song Wenjie immediately said respectfully, "It's absolutely true! I dare not lie. Lord, I suspect that the theft was committed by Gu Qinghuai. Gu Qinghuai's sister Gu Qingtao was my ex-wife. I also met Gu Qinghuai a few years ago. She was timid and cowardly at that time. She didn't even dare to speak when she met people. But when I saw her again last year, I found that Gu Qinghuai seemed to have completely changed, and her temperament was completely different from before.

Moreover, my ex-wife's family was extremely poor, but they became rich in a very short time. Therefore, I suspect that Gu Qinghuai must have been possessed by a demon, which is why he robbed my house so clean overnight."

County Magistrate Lu glanced at Song Wenjie.

It was obvious that this peasant was trying to get close to the Princess of Qinghe County.

Shi'er is close to the Princess of Qinghe County, will he be implicated?

However, since Shi'er doesn't recognize him as his father, why should he care about his life or death?

When they were at the post station, Gu Qinghuai humiliated him like that, and he was happy to see her get into trouble.

"Good, very good!" The Duke was extremely happy. "The news you reported is extremely important. As important witnesses, you can temporarily stay in the Duke's Mansion. Are you willing?"

"I am willing!" The two of them immediately bowed and responded, with joy on their faces.

Living in the Duke's Mansion is equivalent to establishing a relationship with the Duke's Mansion.

Magistrate Lu tried his best to suppress his inner joy.

Duke Liang arranged accommodation for the two men, and then asked a servant to call several officials who had been robbed in the imperial capital to come and discuss the matter. Of course, Gu Qinghuai and Qi Yuanshuo were excluded.

The officials whose belongings were robbed were all shocked when they learned the news.

Someone raised an objection, "But the young general's mansion, Bi Hai Xuan, was also stolen."

Someone immediately said, "Isn't that simple? The only way for Qinghe County Princess to conceal her tracks is to steal from herself. In this way, no one can suspect her."

"Yes! I think so too. We were all fine originally, but a series of bad things happened after Princess Qinghe came to the imperial capital. Although it is said that men should not talk about strange things, there are many strange things in the world. She might really be possessed by a demon, or she might be using witchcraft."

"Humph, she swallowed so many of our goodies, we have to find a way to make her spit them all out!"

"However, you may have forgotten another thing. She even stole our account books and documents. She must have a lot of evidence against us. If we deal with her, she will be desperate and reveal our secrets."

"She dare not. If she reveals it, it would be tantamount to admitting that she was responsible for the theft. The emperor's private treasury was also stolen. He will never forgive her."

"That makes sense," Duke Liang nodded. "We need to think about this matter carefully. We must not alert the enemy. On the day of the Emperor's birthday banquet, we will expose her in front of everyone and leave her nowhere to hide. I will go to the palace tomorrow and talk to the Emperor about this matter in advance."

"That's great. Thank you, Duke!" Everyone bowed to Duke Liang to express their gratitude.

After seeing off the officials, Duke Liang brought Liang Yueru into the palace to meet Concubine Liang Shu and the third prince.

When Concubine Liang Shu heard about this, she was very excited. "This is really great news! Gu Qinghuai, I will make sure you die a miserable death!"

Thinking of how Gu Qinghuai totally ignored her, she trembled with anger.

The third prince smiled and said, "Who could have thought it was such a coincidence? The theft case turned out to be related to Gu Qinghuai. This is really God helping us."

"Yes, Gu Qinghuai harmed Qianxi like that and brought shame to our Duke's Mansion. He disobeyed our aunt and should have been cut into pieces long ago!" Liang Yueru said hatefully.

Duke Liang smiled and said, "All this is thanks to the letter Yueru received."

"What letter?" asked Concubine Liang Shufei.

Liang Yueru smiled and said, "Aunt, cousin, I received two mysterious letters before. The first letter told me that Gu Qinghuai cannot beat or kill women, and we can use this to kill her; the second letter told me that if the emperor issued a notice of the theft case in Daxia, we might find clues, and I didn't expect it to be true. I always feel that the person behind the scenes seems to know Gu Qinghuai very well, but is also very afraid of her, so she always hides behind us and uses our power to get rid of her."

"Who are you who is so bold as to take advantage of me!" Concubine Liang Shu's face was cold and her tone was a little angry.

The third prince smiled and said, "Mother, there is no need to be angry. I think he is a smart man. It would not be a bad thing if he can be used by us."

Concubine Liang Shu calmed down and looked at Liang Yueru: "Ruru, can you find the person behind this?"

Liang Yueru said: "At present, my niece only knows that the person is a woman. And she likes Zhao Xiaoshi."

The Third Prince leaned back in his chair, groping for the jade pendant on his waist, and said slowly, "To know Gu Qinghuai so well means that person knows her and is familiar with her. As far as I know, Gu Qinghuai came to the imperial capital for the first time last year and was only close to Liu Kuo's daughter Liu Qiushi. However, the two of them just met, so it is impossible for Gu Qinghuai to tell her his weaknesses."

Duke Liang narrowed his eyes slightly. "In other words, that woman is likely to have known Gu Qinghuai for a long time? Is she Gu Qinghuai's hidden enemy? If so, she can't be from the imperial capital."

"Investigate!" Concubine Liang Shu's eyes flashed with coldness, "Order someone to investigate if there is any woman from Qinghe County who knows Gu Qinghuai."

The Third Prince nodded, "Yes, it's not difficult to find. As long as we find this person, it will be very helpful to us."

At this time, Zhou Cuiwan didn't know that she had successfully attracted the attention of Concubine Liang Shufei and the third prince.

She had heard that Gu Qinghuai and Qi Yuanshuo were married. Although she was extremely jealous, she did not give up on Qi Yuanshuo.

It is impossible for the future emperor to marry only one woman. Even if Gu Qinghuai gets there first, she is confident that she can get rid of her.

She will never give up until the last moment.

The notice of the theft case has already been sent across the country. I wonder if Duke Liang has any new clues or if he has any evidence against Gu Qinghuai.
