Bai Xueyan took the initiative to apologize to Song Ci, saying that she did not hide it intentionally.Song Ci understood her position and did not blame her too much.Song Ci emphasized that the case in the Kingdom of Death has nothing to do with Shen Lingxiu.Bai Xueyan was surprised by this, because all the clues currently pointed to Shen Lingxiu.
Song Ci raised several doubts.First of all, the mystery of his suspicion of the grain draft was revealed very early because he did not tell anyone when he was investigating the grain draft case, but Shen Xiyue's sister quickly surrounded them.Secondly, the timing of Sun Sheng's appearance was very coincidental, and he always arrived as soon as they encountered problems.Therefore, Song Ci suspected that the man behind the scenes was Han Fu.Bai Xueyan expressed disbelief, but Song Ci just made his own guess.
At this time, Hammer came and told Song Ci that Shen Xiyue's sister was killed in prison, and Shen Lingxiu hanged himself.Yin Qiao wanted to go in to check, but was stopped outside the door.Song Ci used the token given to him by Zhao Xiaoliu to successfully enter.Sun Sheng was also present, but he dismissed the token in Song Ci's hand.
Song Ci wanted to do an autopsy, but Sun Sheng tried his best to stop it.In order to avoid trouble, Yin Qiao had to temporarily pull Song Ci away.Back at home, Song Ci told Zhao Xiaoliu the situation and said that only through an autopsy can it be determined whether Shen Lingxiu committed suicide.Li Zifang's father was released.Bai Xueyan overheard the conversation between Han Fu and his subordinates and realized that they were hiding something.Zhao Xiaoliu tried his best and finally brought out Shen Lingxiu's body.
After observing, Song Ci found that it was impossible to determine whether Shen Lingxiu committed suicide based on his face alone.After an autopsy, he found that Shen Lingxiu had been strangled.He then checked the wound on Sister Shen Xiyue's body and found that the shape of the knife edge was very strange and irregularly jagged.Song Ci also mentioned that assassins in Taoist temples have thick calluses on their hands, which is usually caused by long periods of training in military camps.He believed that everything that happened in the Taoist temple was a carefully designed game to point the finger at Shen Lingxiu.
The two continued their analysis and discovered that the ultimate target turned out to be the emperor.Because that day the Emperor would go to the Taoist Temple in the East, everything seemed to have been arranged in advance.At this time, the emperor had arrived at the Taoist temple and entered the main hall alone.
When Song Ci and others were preparing to take a detour, they encountered a caravan.When the other party was about to attack them, Bai Xueyan appeared in time and claimed that these people were arranged by her adoptive father to kill Song Ci.Yin Qiao also rushed to the scene, and the two of them held these people back and asked Song Ci to hurry over.
In the main hall, Shen Xiyue walked towards the emperor, knelt down and begged him to bring justice to the Shen family.The emperor shouted to summon the guards, but the soldiers at the door seemed not to obey his orders.At this time, Han Fu came in with a group of soldiers and claimed that the emperor had been disturbed by ghosts and gods recently.The emperor saw that Han Fu had the intention of treason.Fortunately, the prince appeared in time and quickly subdued the rebel Han Fu.Although he was taken away, Han Fu did not complain at all.Bai Xueyan was confused about Han Fu's rebellion, so she decided to disguise herself as a man and go to the prison to ask Han Fu personally about the truth of the matter.
However, when she was about to learn important information, someone suddenly appeared.Zhao Xiaoliu quickly took Bai Xueyan and left.Wang Ye and Zhao Xiaoliu reported their ideas to the emperor.The prince suggested not to deal with Han Fu until the matter was cleared up.When Zhao Xiaoliu returned to his house, he learned that Song Ci and others had left, leaving only a letter.Li Zifang and Yin Qiao also returned first.Song Ci left with Bai Xueyan.
Zhao Xiaoliu felt very disappointed because everyone had left, leaving only him and Shen Xiyue.Chen Xiyue has also lost her family now.Han Fu whispered to Bai Xueyan: "There was something fishy going on back then."% implies that Bai Xueyan's biological father may still be alive.
