Chapter 29 The Zhou Family
For three consecutive days, Yayoi did not see Duan Sinan.

He was not there, but Yan Hongjing helped him manage the affairs of the Fuliang County army.On the way, Ah Qi ran into Yan Hongjing and asked a question, but Yan Hongjing fooled Ah Qi with a casual slap in the face.

In fact, Duan Sinan went to find the nanny who worked in Zhang's house back then.

The nanny's surname is Hu. When the Liao family had just given birth more than ten years ago, she was invited to work as a part-time worker in Zhang's mansion. She left Zhang's mansion within a few months, so few people knew about it.Most of the people in the Zhang Mansion were dead, Duan Sinan still used the secret guards of the Wang Mansion to find out five servants who worked in the Zhang Mansion back then, and finally found out this person who had been in close contact with the Liao family.The Queen's people hadn't found Hu's address yet, Duan Sinan took the first step and found her first.

Nanny Hu lives in the countryside next to Fuliang County, and it takes a day to go back and forth.When Duan Sinan came back three days later, Tang Ruoying's funeral was already over.

Yayoi also went to Tang Ruoying's funeral.

"Miss, tell me, the Tang family hasn't said for a long time that they want a young lady to marry into the General's Mansion instead of Second Miss Tang. Is this marriage going to end like this?" Aqi stood aside and asked Yayoi in a low voice.

Yayoi's eyes were fixed on the two sisters Tang Ruoyun and Tang Ruoheng in front of the mourning hall.In the past three days, the eyes of both of them have been swollen from crying, but they are still crying at this moment, which only makes people feel that sisters are deeply affectionate, which makes people feel distressed.

"No." Her eyes scanned the front and back of the mourning hall, "How could the Tang family give up this bargain? Marriage with the general's mansion is their best opportunity."

"Yes, but they haven't revealed any such news until now..." Aqi frowned.

Yayoi looked at the old lady Tang who was weeping silently in the mourning hall, "I didn't expect that the Tang family also had hidden talents. They have a clear mind and don't leak water."

Tang Ruoying's coffin was finalized, and the female family members of the Tang family who almost fainted from crying were slowly helped down by the maids.The coffin was lifted, followed by a sparse team of crying spirits, and slowly walked out of the city.

"The Tang family wants to block the news." Yayoi sneered, "They didn't let the general's house know about Tang Ruoying's murder. On the day of the wedding, they let the daughter who was married on the surrogate get married in a sedan chair. At that time, a long time had passed, and the murderer Now that we have become the daughter-in-law of the General's Mansion, there is nothing we can do."

"Then what should we do?" Ah Qi only felt that it was extremely tricky.At the end of the year, the lady will run for election in Yingzhou. If the case is not solved, it will have an impact on the lady's performance at that time.

"If they don't say it, we'll find a way to let the murderer say it himself." A sneer floated on Yayoi's lips.

"Say it yourself?" Aqi asked back in surprise.

She watched the coffin walk away slowly, and asked, "Is Sister Yanyan's birthday coming soon?"

"Well, September 22 will be it." Ah Qi thought for a while.

"Exactly seven days later..." Yayoi said meaningfully, "Exactly, after seven days, we will let the murderer speak for himself."

In the official residence of Fuliang County, Duan Sinan was discussing with Yan Hongjing about the nanny Hu.

"Mr. Hu said that she was the first nanny in the Zhang family. She was brought here after the Liao family gave birth." Duan Sinan's eyes were full of deep thought, "Mr. Liao gave birth to twins back then, and later gave birth to her relatives." One was adopted, and Mrs. Hu didn't feed it for a few days."

Yan Hongjing asked, "Is there a boy among the twins?"

Duan Sinan shook his head. "They were all girls. The Hu family raised Zhang Wan later, and after giving birth to a child, they left Zhang's mansion and went back to their own village."

"So, we guessed wrong before? The former princess didn't entrust the orphan of the former prince to the Liao family?" Yan Hongjing frowned.

Duan Sinan raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Yes."

"Then why..." Yan Hongjing stood up a little irritatedly, "We finally found this place, and now all the clues are broken again."

"The emperor gave us three months to investigate here, and now it's only been almost one month, which is more than enough." Duan Sinan's eyes showed a gleam of confidence, "I didn't expect to start with Zhang's mansion, and General Xuanwu's mansion is also the same. I don't know. Do you still remember Xue Ningbi?"

A trace of disgust appeared on Yan Hongjing's face, "Just that scary woman? How can I not remember?"

Duan Sinan looked up at him, and curled the corners of his lips, "Since even the queen thinks of the Zhou family, we might as well give it a try."

"The Zhou family?" Yan Hongjing asked back.

"Well, the Zhou family." Duan Sinan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip slowly, "Miss Zhou family, Zhou Tingting."

"Isn't she married to the county magistrate?" Yan Hongjing thought for a moment and asked doubtfully.

"That's right, she is indeed the wife of the county magistrate now." A gleam flashed in Duan Sinan's eyes, "But, she used to be, but almost became the concubine of the prince."

If there hadn't been the incident in the East Palace, she would have been the concubine of the prince back then, and now a concubine in the harem!She has always cared about the prince, she can freely enter and leave the East Palace, and she is also good friends with the princess.After the East Palace Incident, the Zhou family could only flee to Fuliang County to live, and became an imperial merchant when the new emperor ascended the throne.But Zhou Tingting has also become an old girl, so she can only marry the county magistrate and spend the rest of her life.

Duan Sinan's eyes turned darker, and a deep smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Hongjing, let someone go and find out, has there been any boys of the same age in the Zhou family for so many years?"

"Who brought the orphaned prince out of the East Palace back then? And who hid him?"

Duan Sinan's thin lips parted lightly:

"Zhou Tingting, maybe the last breakthrough."

 All the clues gathered on Zhou Tingting alone!Hahaha!Writing the groundwork is always so difficult~ so difficult~ so difficult~
