"What?! Miss, this, this is not a joke! "Hearing Ning Shu's shocking speculation, Forsythia was so scared that she stuttered.
In this court, anyone could be smeared, except for Prime Minister Tan. His reputation was too good, and his character was too good. Not only was he loved by the people, even the Emperor relied on him.
Take the drought in Hanjiang Prefecture for example. The people did not have enough to eat, and there were starving people on the road. It was like purgatory on earth. The relief funds disappeared mysteriously, and riots broke out.
The Emperor and the court officials were helpless. Only Prime Minister Tan volunteered to go to the front line. He knelt down for the country and the people, soothing the pain and anger in the hearts of the disaster victims.
Then, he ate and lived with the disaster victims for dozens of days. He saved people and finally put out the riot. When it was about to ignite, he saved the lives of countless people.
Such a person was called the backbone of the country. Who would dare to poke at his spine? Who would agree to this if they asked the millions of people in Hanjiang Prefecture?
Ning Shu was not ignorant, but she said, "Sometimes, the more impossible it seems, the more likely it is. I am not speculating without reason. Look at this dress. Ordinary people are right-handed, so the right sleeve has more traces of wear than the left. However, this dress is symmetrical on both sides, so the wear is similar. Coincidentally, our Prime Minister Tan caught His Majesty's eye many years ago during the imperial court examination because of his ability to draw the bow with both hands at the same time. "
Forsythia was shocked, "My god … But, what if there are other people who can use both hands flexibly?"
Ning Shu walked to the window and gently plucked the guqin that no one had appreciated for a long time. It was unexpectedly clear and melodious, and the lingering sound lingered. "Closely related to this case, being protected by Tan Siwei in every way possible, the age must match, and the hands must be dexterous. The range of suspects who meet so many criteria at the same time is really not wide."
However, a nameless piece of clothing was not enough to be used as conclusive evidence. If they wanted to conclude the case, they would need more evidence.
Ning Shu put the dress, Xue Jiajian, the rattle-drum, and a pair of tiger-headed shoes into a bag and went straight to Xi City.
If he wanted to confirm the identity of the scholar who had fallen in love with Xue Hongyi, he had to find the old man from back then!
However, one basin of cold water after another poured down on her. The people in the brothel had a short lifespan to begin with, and there were not many left who knew about the past. The only one left was the procuress, who was locked up in prison and refused to tell the truth.
The sun was about to set, and the sunset glow was golden. After several days of running around, Ning Shu stood at the bustling crossroads and felt a little dizzy.
She closed her eyes, calmed her heart, and organized the fragmented information in her mind bit by bit.
The fragments were like waves splashing in the white river, and under the snow-white waves, the scales of the swimming fish shone with silver light under the sunlight and the river water.
She suddenly thought of something and said, "Has the procuress of Xun Fang Tai been interrogated alone these past two days?"
Forsythia said, "No, but I had a stomachache last night. It was so painful that I rolled around on the ground. We were so scared that we begged the jailer for help. The jailer saw that she was foaming at the mouth and looked really scary, so he carried her out to see a doctor. He only came back in the middle of the night. "
"Was it Susu and the others who took care of her after that?"
"Of course, I've also helped out."
Ning Shu knew what was going on. "I know how Tan Siwei passed the message to Bai Susu and discussed the details."
Tan Siwei's acting was too good. He looked like a warm and gentle person, like a soft piece of tofu. He was not aggressive at all, but this time, his acting was so good that he almost fooled her with one trick after another.
Tan Shaoqing, you used me to send yourself to the executioner's knife. Do you want me to regret it for the rest of my life?
Forsythia couldn't wait to ask, "What about the murderer? Who is the murderer? "
Ning Shu's eyes flashed, "I have a guess, but I don't have any evidence. It's just a guess. Forsythia, I need to trouble you with something. Go to a place for me and ask about something. "
"Miss, I've become fat from lying in prison. Tell me, I'll go to any place!"
