Jiu Mozhi said in a deep voice, "Tubo is located at the border, and we don't have any grudges with the surrounding countries. But Si Luo of Qinghai has been fighting for the position of Prime Minister, and the First Princess and the Second Princess are like fire and water. If anyone has the motive, it must be him!"
"It must be them!" The yellow-robed woman suddenly stood up and was about to find Si Luo to settle the score.
Song Qingshu hurriedly pulled her back, "Don't be impulsive!"
"Why are you stopping me?" The yellow-robed woman looked at him in an unfriendly tone.
Jiu Mozhi's pupils shrank slightly. The yellow-robed woman didn't notice anything unusual because she was too concerned about Si Luo, but he was observing from the side. The yellow-robed woman's Kung Fu was very high, but she was easily caught. Was it a coincidence, or …
Song Qingshu explained, "Will Si Luo admit it if you go there like this? He will directly say that he doesn't know anything. What can you do? Si Luo is not weak, and he has many masters under his command. Besides, the Western Xia can't just sit by and watch you do anything to them. "
"Then what should we do?" The girl in yellow had also calmed down a little by this time. She recalled that Si Geluo had always been on good terms with the Southern Song Dynasty because the Southern Song Dynasty needed to use them to contain the Western Xia Dynasty. If they accidentally made the two countries turn against each other, it would be troublesome if the national affairs were to be ruined.
"Don't alert them. Investigate the internal affairs of Tubo first. We can go there to confront them after we have a clear idea." Song Qingshu said in a deep voice.
The yellow-robed woman thought for a moment and agreed with him, "I'm in a mess now. Where should we start the investigation?"
"Let's first ask the person involved, Prince Zongzan." Song Qingshu said in a deep voice.
Jiu Mozhi said, "The prince is also a victim. He is extremely shocked and sad now. I'm afraid it's not convenient for him to meet outsiders."
Song Qingshu couldn't help but sneer, "What kind of victim is he? Is he still pretending to be innocent?"
Jiu Mozhi's face became hot. He also felt that it was a little unkind to say this, so he gradually lowered his voice, "The prince's reputation has also been greatly damaged. I'm afraid it will endanger his prestige in the country … Well, I'll take you to see him. The sooner you find out the truth, the better our prince will be innocent."
When they came to the prince's room, they found the fat man holding a mutton in one hand and a bowl of wine in the other. The yellow-robed woman's face suddenly turned sour, "Is this the shock and sadness that King Ming mentioned?"
Jiu Mozhi smiled embarrassedly and said, "Our prince was born with great strength, so he needs a lot of food to replenish himself. Please excuse us." Then he quickly ran to Zong Zan and whispered something in his ear.
Only then did Prince Zong Zan reluctantly throw away the lamb leg in his hand. He casually wiped his oily hands on his clothes and walked over. "What do you want to ask? Ask quickly."
Smelling the smell of alcohol, the yellow-robed girl could not help but have a frosty expression. Thinking about how her elder sister had lost her innocence to such a person, she truly felt grief from the bottom of her heart.
Feeling the trembling body of the yellow-robed woman, Song Qingshu gently patted her to comfort her. He then said to Zongzan, "Prince, can you tell me what happened in detail?"
Zongzan replied in a muffled voice, "In the middle of the night, a guard came to tell me that the princess invited me over for a chat. I thought there might be a chance since I was alone in the middle of the night, so I didn't refuse. You know, my beautiful stepmother, I …"
"Ahem!" Jiu Mozhi hurriedly coughed to remind him not to say what he shouldn't say.
Only then did Prince Zong Zan say, "When I got there, the Princess's personal maid invited me to drink. She said that the Princess was bathing and changing her clothes inside. When I heard that, my eyes went wide. Then I drank. Don't you Han people have a saying? Wine is the medium of sex … Who would have thought that I would lose consciousness after drinking."
The yellow-robed woman finally couldn't help but say angrily, "Nonsense. The princess of Jincheng is gentle and polite. How could she invite a man to her room in the middle of the night? I think you have been coveting her beauty. You drank in the middle of the night and got lustful, so you went to her room and raped her! "
"How is that possible!" Zongzan was anxious, "I didn't have to do that. According to our custom, when the old Zan Pu passed away and I inherited the position of Zan Pu, she would also become my concubine. Why should I be in a hurry? Why should I take such a big risk at this time? "
Jiu Mozhi also said, "Prince is right. We have the custom of replacing the father after the death of the son."
Song Qingshu had experience in the Jin Kingdom and roughly understood the custom of the nomadic people. The grassland was vast and sparsely populated. Women were very important resources and would not be easily wasted. So, young widows would remarry, and gradually this custom was formed.
The yellow-robed woman had also heard about this and couldn't help but sigh that sister's life was really bitter.
Song QingShu asked, "Who was the guard who came to inform you last night?"
Zongzan said, "Who would pay attention to the appearance of the guard? I can't remember."
Jiu Mozhi added, "We have already sent people to investigate. There should be results soon."
Song Qingshu nodded, "Also, who was the servant girl who received you yesterday?"
Zongzan waved his hand impatiently, "The Princess only has a few servant girls. You can go and ask. Don't bother me. When I woke up today, my back is sore. I need to rest."
"Bastard!" The yellow-robed woman saw that he didn't seem to be sad or guilty. She could no longer hold back her anger and directly clawed at him.
Jiu Mozhi's expression changed and hurriedly stopped her. The two of them exchanged several moves in an instant. The yellow-robed woman's internal energy was slightly weaker, so she was pushed back a few steps by the opponent's internal energy.
"Okay, okay. Investigating the truth is more important." Song Qingshu hurriedly stood between the two and said to the yellow-robed woman.
At this time, a guard came to report that the guard who came to inform Zongzan last night had been found, but he was already dead. A stack of silver notes was found in his bag. It was obvious that he had been bribed.
"Did you check the silver notes?" Song Qingshu asked.
The guard replied, "I did. It was the most common Da Tong Banknote on the market. I couldn't find the person behind it."
This clue was broken, but this was expected. Song Qingshu said, "Let's go and find the Princess's servant girl."
The yellow-robed woman glared at Zongzan before leaving. "I will experience Wisdom King's Flame Blade another day."
Jiu Mozhi also put his palms together. "Next time, I will experience Benefactor's Nine Yin Manual."
After the two of them left, Prince Zongzan couldn't help but mutter, "What a pity. I've always wanted that beautiful stepmother. It's a pity that I didn't know what it felt like last night. What a pity, what a pity."
Jiu Mozhi secretly frowned. Even he couldn't stand it anymore. However, he knew his prince's temper. It was useless to persuade him. He could only sigh secretly and let him have a good rest. He followed him to investigate last night's case. Out of sight, out of mind.
Song Qingshu and the yellow-robed woman came to the Jincheng Princess's room. They learned that although the Princess had many servants, there were only two who could be considered as personal servants. One was brought out of the palace during the marriage ceremony, and the other was appointed by the Tubo Old Zanpu. The one who received Prince Zongzan yesterday was appointed by the Old Zanpu. Now, she was found hanged in the room.
"I'm afraid she was killed." The yellow-robed woman naturally didn't believe in the so-called suicide.
Song QingShu also had the same feeling, but now he could only ask another maidservant named Huan Bi, who was brought out of the palace. He had a vague impression of this maidservant. Because the Tubo people were generally darker, she and the princess came from the south of the Yangtze River, so their skin was the fairest. The other maidservants from the south of the Yangtze River also had darker skin because they worked outside all year round.
