Su Yao had been sending people to follow Master He all the time, and none of Master He's actions could be hidden from Ruan Xiaojiu's eyes and ears. In addition, after being reminded by Aunt He, Su Yao became even more concerned and simply sent Sun Xing and the others along as well. Naturally, Master He's actions could not be hidden from Su Yao.
When Su Yao learned that Mr. He frequently went out for social events, and that the recipients were almost always Mr. Wang, he began to sense that something was wrong.
Although they are cousins, they were never so close before. What's more, Mr. He suddenly persuaded Mrs. He to go out of the city to pray for blessings, saying that he had a dream in which he saw his deceased father scolding him for being heartless. After so many years, he still couldn't find out who killed him.
Mrs. He already had a mental illness, and upon hearing this, she lost her usual rationality and decided to leave the city.
As soon as there was any movement on her side, Aunt He sent someone to inform Su Yao.
Then, Su Rong received a letter. The letter was written in the name of Master Wang. In the letter, Master Wang said that he knew many things from the past and wanted to tell Su Rong. In fact, there was another truth behind Master Su's death.
So many things happening together, it would be too much of a coincidence to call it a coincidence.
Su Yao discussed with Su Rong and decided that no matter whether the letter was written by Master Wang or not, they should just pretend that nothing had happened and believe the contents of the letter.
Later, Su Rong 'disappeared', and the old lady of the Su family and Wang Yuerong fell ill one after another. Even Mrs. Wang and Old Lady Wang were concerned and worried from the bottom of their hearts. Only Mr. Wang was unmoved, and his attitude could even be described as indifferent. Su Yao already had some guesses in his mind.
Later, when Master Wang came home that day, facing Qingkun's report, his expression and performance were so clear that Su Yao didn't even need him to do anything else. He was certain that he was definitely involved in this matter.
After that, they followed Master Wang and made sure that Master Wang went to Mr. Chang’s lair, needless to say.
Xiao Heng explained the whole story to Song Xiangyu and said solemnly, "In fact, the content of the letter may not be false. If he can really do such a thing, then he may have ulterior motives in marrying into the He, Su, and Song families.
Song Xiangyu fell silent.
Without waiting for them to speculate too much, news soon came that Mr. Chang had committed suicide.
He actually had the opportunity to commit suicide at the Jinyiwei, which made Xiao Heng even more annoyed.
He has been surrounded by these conspiracies and schemes since he was born, and has been struggling to survive in fear. These people really think that he is easy to bully and are eager to repeat the incident that happened to the late crown prince.
But he would never let them have their way.
With the permission of Emperor Yuanfeng, Xiao Heng went to the Zhenfu Division to meet Master Wang in person.
Master Wang refused to say anything. He had clearly made a deal with Su Rong before, intending to use the safety of the Wang family to make a deal with Su Rong. He wanted to tell the truth, but later, for some reason, he changed his mind and made up his mind not to say anything.
Chen Dong tortured him several times, but Master Wang managed to endure them all.
Looking at the seriously injured Master Wang, Xiao Heng sat opposite him and said expressionlessly: "It seems that the Jinyiwei are much gentler and more useless now, so much so that they didn't treat you well. You are so stubborn, I wonder if your grandson who just turned one month old is also so stubborn?"
Master Wang was a little agitated. He dragged his almost crippled body and roared at Xiao Heng: "Don't touch them! It's none of their business. They know nothing and they didn't do anything!"
"Many of the relatives of those who implicated the entire clan have done nothing wrong, but they still implicated their clan members?" Xiao Heng was calm. "I don't know what they used to threaten you to keep your mouth shut, but now I don't have any clues to go on, and I'm in a bad mood. These things are related to the truth about the death of my father and Master Su. I have killed many people for this. You should know this. Don't think that just because you are related to the Song, He, and Su families, I can let them go! If you don't tell the truth, the Wang family is not without the crime of imprisonment!"
A lot of letters were found in Master Wang's study. Of course, there was nothing too secretive among them, but Master Wang was very adept at accepting bribes, and was not as fair and selfless as he appeared to be.
It’s enough to send the Wang family to jail.
Master Wang suddenly felt his mouth dry. He was not afraid of Su Rong. After all, he was his son-in-law. He usually called him father-in-law, so it was difficult for him to show any authority in front of him. But Xiao Heng was different.
Xiao Heng's pressure made Master Wang dare not challenge him.
He looked at Xiao Heng pleadingly: "They... they will kill my family... If I confess today, they will know the news tomorrow, no... not even tomorrow..."
Xiao Heng curled his lips and said, "That means they also have people in the Jinyiwei."
He suddenly stopped talking and pointed at the clerk who was writing down the confession: "Get out."
The clerk was stunned for a moment, but still stood up and answered yes without hesitation.
Xiao Heng looked at Master Wang and said, "Go ahead."
Before Master Wang could say anything, there was a knock on the door. Jinyiwei Zhenfu Lu Qing walked in and bowed to Xiao Heng with a smile on his face. "It turns out that your Highness is here in person. It really makes the Zhenfu Division proud. I didn't know that your Highness wanted to try the case. I thought that Chen Shuli had done something wrong, so he came here to see what was going on."
Xiao Heng looked at Lu Qing with interest and said, "So that's the case. I thought Lu Zhenfu was worried that I would torture the criminal, so he rushed here in such a hurry."
He slowly adjusted the jade pendant on his waist and suddenly called out, "Lu Zhenfu?"
Lu Qing responded quickly.
Xiao Heng raised his voice again: "Chen Dong!"
After a while, Chen Dong came in from outside and answered seriously, "Yes."
Xiao Heng hummed and pointed at Lu Zhenfu. "I brought back the criminals and files about the last incident involving the Yunnan Garrison. You can take Lu Zhenfu to sort it out. I remember there was a man named Lu among them. He seems to be Lu Zhenfu's brother. Please ask him to take a good look to see if the incident is related to the Lu family."
Lu Qing's expression changed, knowing that Xiao Heng was trying to get him away.
However, Xiao Heng's reason was so reasonable that he could not refuse it at all. He could only say with a fake smile: "There is no rush for this matter. If my brother is really so rebellious, then our Lu family will never tolerate it!"
Xiao Heng frowned: "I told you to check it out!"
