C77 Manager Wu (2/2)

How did his mufei die? Was the empress the only murderer in the entire palace?

If not for the Empress Dowager's instructions, would a wife dare to directly go against her husband's wishes and kill the woman he liked?

Chu Yixuan sneered. The woman in front of him was the same as always. If he still couldn't tell that she was trying to attract his attention, then he should have just waited patiently for someone to kill him instead of thinking about the throne.

”Since Princess Jia He was kind enough, she should have served the empress dowager well instead of coming here to act out a filial act on her own and bring Ben Wang along with her.”

The undisguised ridicule in Chu Yixuan's words shocked Jia He.

Now that the warm spring was almost over, the weather was rather comfortable. It was reasonable to say that the weather wouldn't feel any cold, but Chu Yixuan's words had indeed made Jia He and Princess Hua-Yang quiver as goosebumps rose all over their bodies.

Chu Yixuan ignored the stunned Jia He and left in large strides.

On the way out of the throne room, many people were watching this scene. One of them was Chu Yinan, he had a playful expression on his face as he watched this scene and felt it to be interesting.

”...”

As for Jiang Dong, Su Zixuan had to wait for a few days before finally getting a piece of news.

”You said that this Manager Wu has made a trip to Lushan County recently?” Su Zixuan's brows were tightly knitted.

River County was close to Luling County, which was also very close to the salt field.

A few days ago, this Shopkeeper Wu had urged Liu Xian to sell his salt by accident, and now, he was on a trip to Lushan County.

”What exactly did you do?” Su Zixuan looked at Su Hui with doubt in her eyes.

”Nothing else except to pay a visit to the shopkeeper of Lushan County,” Su Hui replied. ”It's because he didn't do anything that makes him suspicious.”

”It's not that easy to pass the salt trial. It would be weird if you only made a trip to Lushan County.”

”Shopkeeper Chen of Lu Jiang Prefecture is a righteous man. A few years ago, he received kindness from the Old Master, and everyone knows that. ”So …”

Su Zixuan continued, ”So it can't be that we're trying to persuade Shopkeeper Chen. We can only assume that there's something else we need to do in River County. It's just that we've hidden it well, and we can't find it.”

If he had discovered this earlier, it would be impossible for him to only know that something was amiss right now, but he would not have been able to make a mistake.

Su Zixuan was silent as a thought vaguely appeared in his mind.
