Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

Thinking of this, Zhou Qingyun was stunned for a moment. He seemed to understand why Wang Shiyu didn't choose him. If he were her, she probably wouldn't choose someone as cold-hearted as him, and might even stay away from him directly. It turned out that he was a member of the Zhou family.

The emperor naturally knew about his high-profile investigation into the Wang family's affairs, but now he no longer had the same worry as in previous years. Instead, he was curious about what his grandson was going to do.

Why did he suddenly investigate the affairs of a farmer, especially one of the people who had protected him before? According to his grandson's habits, shouldn't he have treated these people as guests of honor?

What happened to the Wang family back then is no longer easy to investigate. After all, times have changed and eight years have passed. Even if some people back then still have some impression of them, their memory is not enough.

The only flaw of Wang Shiyu was that she brought those gold, silver and jewelry to Qiong Island quietly and put them in the cellar of Qiong Island. Because there was no record of the transportation of these things, it would be difficult for one person to carry these things to Qiong Island thousands of miles away in one trip. However, this batch of jewels was quietly transported from the town to the cellar of Qiong Island. This made Zhou Qingyun really curious about who was helping behind the scenes.

Meanwhile, the people arranged by Yu Xiuming had already arrived at the small courtyard where the Wang family was temporarily living. They also learned that the Wang family had met with Zhou Qingyun and mentioned Wang Shiyu, but they didn't mention much. It was just that the old man Wang's words were full of suggestive language, and they didn't quite understand what it meant.

When they came, they were following orders. If anyone in the Wang family mentioned Wang Shiyu's name in private, they would deal with that person directly. So the people they sent were not polite. They took advantage of the time when Mr. Wang was out and led him to a crowded place, designing for him to die at the hands of others, with one knife.

At the same time, the responsibility was pushed onto Prince Rong who was chasing and beating people, because An Anwei did not do it himself, but hit old man Wang's numb points with stones in the dark, making him unable to dodge the swung big knife for a while. Even the serious ones were good at water. The old man wanted to resist at that time, but unfortunately his leg was numbed and he could not keep up with his reaction and his neck was directly cut.

Old man Wang was hacked to death by Prince Rong when he was walking on the street. Even though it was a bloody incident, no one would pursue the matter. Not even the people in the Wang family dared to show their heads to collect his body. He just lay on the ground with his eyes open, looking quite pitiful. If Zhou Qingyun hadn't intervened, the old man would have been left to rot in the wilderness.

This incident did not cause any uproar. Zhou Qingyun did not say much after knowing it. Instead, he followed the arrangement of Prince Rong and buried the old man with great honor. Not even a splash was made. Zhou Qingyun investigated for several days but found nothing. In the end, he could only say that the old man was unlucky. After all, he died on the street in full view of everyone.

Although he did not find out how the old man transported the treasures to Qiong Island, he mentioned Wang Shiyu several times, so he was afraid that she was related. Qiong Island had already sent people to investigate the Wang family and the small courtyard they lived in on Qiong Island. He was still young before, and although he investigated, the results were all given to him by the emperor, and he did not believe them now.

Wang Shiyu was under closer surveillance, and Yu Xiuming naturally found out about Zhou Qingyun's actions during this period. He knew that Zhou Qingyun might have some suspicions, but had not yet confirmed them, and was even still wondering who was involved.

Yu Xiuming was good at playing revealing games, so he killed the old man directly and neatly. The matter ended here. Even if Zhou Qingyun tried his best to investigate, he probably wouldn't be able to figure out what happened.

From what they just inquired about, although the old man's two children may know a little bit of the inside story, they don't know much, especially about Wang Shiyu's hidden secret. They only thought that the old man must have asked someone else to escort them to Qiong Island, but they didn't think that Wang Shiyu would have such a big secret. So Yu Xiuming didn't plan to create confusion on Wang Shiyu, but started from other aspects.

The old man intentionally or unintentionally hid the matter from his two sons and daughters-in-law, deliberately disrupting their sight, not wanting them to know the secret, because he knew that his two children and daughters-in-law were not people who would keep their mouths shut, and he was also worried that this matter would be told by them inadvertently, which would cause a big problem, and he would not be able to succeed in what he wanted to do.

After all, the two brothers Wang Yixian and Wang Yizhuo are almost his father's yes-men. They do whatever his father says and have no brains of their own. Even if Zhou Qingyun called these people to him and questioned them carefully, they couldn't say anything. In the end, all that was left was guessing. Well, anyone can make guesses. It just depends on who has a bigger imagination.

Therefore, killing the old man directly is the most correct choice. Once the old man dies, it will be difficult to investigate what happened afterwards, and there is no way to investigate.

The only person who knew that Wang Shiyu had a space back then was the old man. Every time they went out to get food, they went alone. Even if others had suspicions, they had no evidence.

The old man was thoughtful, calm and reserved, and there was no way he would say anything. The grandmother, who was smart and knew the truth, was also dragged to death by the old man.

Her two remaining sons only had a vague understanding of the situation and didn't know the actual situation. Zhou Guichun was a fool and didn't dare to explore the old man's secret, so she didn't know what had happened at all.

Even if Zhou Qingyun asked the Wang family again, the Wang family would not be able to say anything. Maybe because Mo Ruru knew that her daughter's heart had been replaced, she would have some guesses, and she might even speculate about ghosts and gods. But as long as they kept their mouths shut, Yu Xiuming would not intend to take action against Mo Ruru.

But it was just a guess. Even if she told this matter to others, some people might believe it. However, people who did not believe in supernatural things would naturally not believe what she said. Yu Xiuming was on guard against these people with ulterior motives, such as Zhou Qingyun. He now suspected that the reason why Zhou Qingyun was holding on to his words was because he did not want to give up Wang Shiyu and wanted to imprison her and keep her by his side.

Now, Zhou Qingyun has perfectly inherited the Zhou family's thoughtful, anxious and suspicious nature. It is impossible to stop him from investigating, so the only way is to find a way to make up for it in other places, and let him shift his attention to other places. The best way to divert attention is to come up with new things, and more bizarre things that people can't guess.
