After tearing up the script of the vicious female supporting role, I cleaned up the Xiangfu every da

Master Pei personally stepped in and the turmoil caused by the assassination was quickly quelled, but the news had already spread and everyone was wondering who was behind it.

Jiang Wansang was also very curious, but she did not rush to ask someone to investigate. Instead, she followed Pei Zhanzhou and Shen Qiuyun back to Beisheng Station.

In the situation just now, Pei Zhanzhou appeared at the right time, and Zhou Zhi was able to accurately find all the assassins. It was definitely not a coincidence.

Sure enough, after returning to the post station and dismissing everyone, Pei Zhanzhou took the initiative to say, "The assassins are a killer organization in the Jianghu, and the one who hired them is Prince Beisheng."

Jiang Wansang subconsciously looked at Shen Qiuyun, who looked surprised, and her charming and beautiful face seemed to have become a little paler.

She had never thought that her own brother, who was born to the same mother as her, would actually kill her. But when she thought about it carefully, since they were all members of the Beisheng royal family, it didn't seem strange at all...

Jiang Wansang knew that any words of comfort she said at this moment would be pale, so she just reached out and gently patted Shen Qiuyun's arm.

After a moment of silence, she expressed her thoughts, "I have a hunch that Su Huanyu is probably involved in this matter."

If Prince Beisheng wanted to kill Shen Qiuyun, he would have had countless opportunities when he was in Beisheng Kingdom. Why did he choose today when he was about to set off for return?

Just recently, Su Huanyu sent someone to secretly contact Prince Beisheng.

Shen Qiuyun also thought of this, and after calming down her sarcastic mood, she frowned and thought, "What benefit will assassinating this princess bring to Su Huanyu?"

She is the princess of Beisheng Kingdom and has not participated in the struggle for imperial power in Nansu. What reason does Su Huanyu have to assassinate her?

Whether it is the emperor's brother or Su Huanyu, there is currently no reason for them to go to such great lengths to kill her.

Pei Zhanzhou figured out something. "The relationship between Beisheng and Nansu has always been tense. If Princess Beisheng dies in Nansu, Beisheng can use this as an excuse to demand compensation from Nansu, or even start a war."

Pei Zhanzhou had led troops in battles and had a good understanding of the situation among the countries.

Beisheng and Nansu are of comparable national strength, and have always been unwilling to submit to each other. There have been many frictions and comparisons, both openly and covertly. Once given the opportunity, both want to surpass the other and become the world's number one country.

Prince Beisheng is a proponent of war. Although he has not succeeded to the throne in Beisheng in recent years, his position is the most stable among all the princes.

If he could really win the struggle against Nansu, his succession to the throne would be a foregone conclusion.

Pei Zhanzhou briefly explained it. Although this was just his analysis, Jiang Wansang and Shen Qiuyun both knew in their hearts that this was most likely the case.

However, why Su Huanyu was involved in this matter was something that the three of them couldn't figure out for the time being.

Jiang Wansang had a hunch that if this matter was not clarified, it might become a big trouble.

Although he had decided in his heart that he must thoroughly investigate this matter, there was no suitable place to start at the moment, so Jiang Wansang could only put the matter aside for the time being.

Because of the assassination, Shen Qiuyun's departure had to be postponed, and Pei Zhanzhou had to go to the palace to report the matter.

Jiang Wansang had gone with him. After they had gotten into the carriage and left the post station, Jiang Wansang asked, "How did you know about the assassin?"

If Pei Zhanzhou had known that an assassin would appear today, he would not have failed to tell me in advance. But if he didn't know in advance, why would he show up at the critical moment?

Pei Zhanzhou knew she wouldn't ignore such an important matter, so he took out a note from his pocket and said, "This was sent to Luqing Cottage early this morning, tied to a snake."

Jiang Wansang was shocked by his words and quickly took the note and read it. There was only one sentence written on it: Today at the city gate, Prince Beisheng wanted to kill the third princess.

The unfamiliar handwriting made Jiang Wansang instantly want someone, "Was it from Liu Yi?"

The only person who could send a snake to deliver a letter and find out Prince Beisheng's arrangements in the imperial city in advance should be Liu Yi.

Although Pei Zhanzhou had no evidence, he knew it was most likely him.

Although he did not want to accept Liu Yi's favor, nor did he want that person to continue to have contact with Jiang Wansang, he was not so stingy as to deliberately conceal such a thing and ignore it when he knew that Jiang Wansang was in danger.

Jiang Wansang had no idea what he was thinking, she was just wondering why Liu Yi sent this letter.

With his intelligence and vigilance, he should have been suspicious of himself at this time, but the last time they met, he not only took the initiative to show goodwill and closeness, but this time he even helped him secretly. It didn't seem like he was suspicious of himself at all.

Although he couldn't figure out what Liu Yi's real purpose was, Jiang Wansang was sure that he had no hostility towards her, which was good news.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the prime minister's residence.

Pei Zhanzhou watched the person enter the door with his own eyes before letting Zhou Zhi go to the palace to report.

The assassination of the third princess of Beisheng concerns the relationship between the two countries, so after the news spread, many people paid attention to it, including Jiang Gaoyuan.

Ever since Jiang Wansang smashed the gate of the prime minister's residence half a month ago, the people of the Jiang family have become much more obedient. Although they are furious every time they see Jiang Wansang, no one dares to provoke her.

However, Jiang Xiaodie would run to Tingsang Pavilion from time to time, as if she wanted to make friends with Jiang Wansang. She didn't care even if she didn't see him, and she would always bring some good things with her.

Jiang Wansang certainly knew who she was working for. Although she didn't see the person, she still received the things.

Jiang Xiaodie had cheated so many things from the original owner in the past, including the principal and interest over the years, and it was time for her to get them back.

Perhaps seeing that Jiang Xiaodie's gift-giving was effective, Jiang Gaoyuan also brought some good things when he came to Tingsang Pavilion.

To say they were good things was simply some jewelry, barely valuable.

Jiang Wansang knew that Jiang Gaoyuan wanted to ask about the assassination.

She was the only one present at the time, and Pei Zhanzhou, who was in charge of investigating the matter, completely blocked the news. If Prime Minister Jiang Gaoyuan didn't know the inside story and touched on the matter in the court later, he might make a mistake, so he could only come to her to show his goodwill and use this to find out the news.

Jiang Wansang certainly would not refuse such a good thing that was delivered to her door, but in response to Jiang Gaoyuan's question, she had an attitude of "I don't know anything, why are you asking me?", which made Jiang Gaoyuan so angry that he just turned around and left.

As for the things he brought, Jiang Wansang immediately asked Jiang Yi to take them to the pawnshop and exchange them for silver.

Although Jiang Wansang looked like she didn't care, she was still paying attention to what was happening in the court.

Although she was an insider of the assassination, the rumors in the court were the key factor in determining the subsequent development of the matter.

This matter concerns the relationship between the two countries, and it will definitely take a lot of time to deal with. Shen Qiuyun should not set off so soon. Fortunately, Feng Yi and others had already left a day ago, so there will be no delay.

What Jiang Wansang didn't expect was that the next day, rumors spread in the court that the assassins who assassinated the third princess of Beisheng were sent by the crown prince of Beisheng.
