After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 131 Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences

Hui Chengyuan frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "The cattle and sheep of the several farms add up to tens of thousands. It's easy to investigate such a big commotion."

Yuan Man nodded and said, "I have asked Yuan Yi to send someone to investigate."

"What I'm wondering is, does this have anything to do with Guo Sen's death?"

"Or maybe Guo Sen didn't do it, but he found out and had someone silence him."

"And the person who silenced him was his wife, Chu Xiang." This is easy to investigate as long as we follow the clues.

The main thing is that this person didn't do it very well.

Hui Chengyuan raised his eyebrows. "If Chu Xiang did something that Guo Sen discovered, and Guo Sen said something that made her feel threatened, it is not impossible that she killed him."

"I was more inclined to believe that he died because of the iron ore. After all, the iron ore is very profitable, otherwise he would not risk his life to mine it."

"It was such a coincidence that he died just as I was about to investigate the iron mine."

"But once he dies, it will be more difficult to investigate the iron mine."

Yuan Man propped up his chin and said, "Look for mountains wherever there are in Xizhou. If there are none, look for places near Xizhou."

"Anyway, only the imperial court can mine iron ore. If we find a mine that is not mined by the imperial court, we will make money from it."

Hui Chengyuan laughed, "Yes, what A-Li said makes sense. I will arrange for someone to investigate."

Yuan Man looked at him and said, "However, Guo Sen's death, whether it was because of cattle and sheep or iron ore, was too coincidental. Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences."

Hui Chengyuan nodded, "Yes, it depends on whether Guo Sen opened the mine himself or in cooperation with someone else."

Guo family.

Chu Xiang looked at the person in front of him nervously and asked, "How is it?"

Zhang Huai shook his head. "They don't believe what I said and have already started investigating."

"I can't come here recently, lest I be discovered. You stay at home and don't go out casually, lest they find something to hold against you."

Chu Xiang nodded, "I know."

"Brother Huai, I am three months pregnant, and it's your child."

Zhang Huai was obviously excited, "Really!"

"Haha, I'm going to be a father."

Chu Xiang's lowered eyes were full of calculations. She raised her hand and stroked her belly. This child was actually Guo Sen's. He was born as Guo Sen's only son.

The Guo family's business can also be controlled by her.

However, before that, someone must be able to protect her and allow her to give birth to the baby safely.

"Brother Huai, given our relationship, we must not let others know that the child is yours. But if I tell others that the child is Guo Sen's, someone will definitely want to harm me."

Zhang Huai reached out and held her in his arms, saying with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Huai knows the importance of this matter."

"No one can harm you while I'm here."

Chu Xiang's red lips curled up slightly.

……

Yuan Man was extremely surprised when he heard what Yuan Liu said. So many cattle and sheep were actually sent to the State of Song.

"But I can find out what they want with so many cattle and sheep."

Yuan Liu shook his head, "I don't understand what they are saying."

Yuan Man looked at them, "They said different things?"

When she went to the Shikoku rally before, they all said the same thing.

Yuan Liu nodded, "I have inquired about it. The words of Song State are similar to those of An State. Those people are obviously not from Song State. Since they have been staying there, I came back first."

Yuan Man nodded, "It's no use staying there if you don't understand what they're saying."

However, there is no reason to just let it go after she has been cheated out of something.

Since it was the Guo family who cheated them, let the Guo family spit it out, no matter who it is.

Hui Chengyuan went to the military camp early in the morning. Guo Sen had an army of 200,000 under his command. Now that he is dead, someone needs to take over the 200,000 troops.

So she arranged for people to follow the clues, and they actually found Chu Xiang.

After knowing who it was, Yuan Man went to the farm again and talked to Du Zifeng.

On the third day, the managers of several farms outside Chicheng came to the Guo family with evidence and asked Chu Xiang to pay compensation and make up for the money they had cheated.

This scene immediately attracted all the people around.

Yuanman had chosen a seat in advance and watched the show in a restaurant diagonally opposite Guo's mansion.

Du Zifeng stood neither in front nor behind, guiding the other managers.

A steward shouted, "Madam Guo, if you don't come out, we will go to the government office to sue you. Don't blame us for bullying you, a new widow."

"Yes, seven days ago, you took advantage of General Guo to steal all the cattle and sheep from our farm. General Guo died within a day. We seriously suspect that General Guo let you poison him because he knew what you did."

"General Guo has always been kind and righteous. How could he do such a thing as robbing the cattle and sheep of the people? It must be you who did it."

Chu Xiang, who had been hiding behind the door, heard these words and began to tremble all over, clenching his teeth.

Another steward raised the evidence in his hand and said, "We have evidence in our hands. Besides, we heard that the Crown Prince is coming. He will definitely make the decision for us."

"I heard that the prince is diligent in his work and loves his people. He will definitely not allow such a thing to happen."

Chu Xiang felt flustered when he thought of the prince sitting on the throne that day.

Then he adjusted his expression and asked the butler to open the door.

Seeing the crowd of people gathered at the door, Chu Xiang's face turned ugly again.

"Finally it came out. Madam Guo, please compensate us for the losses of our manor. Otherwise, when the boss comes to check the accounts, we will have a hard time explaining ourselves."

What is so difficult to explain? How dare you say that your boss doesn't know about this?

Chu Xiang said coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about."

The steward was not afraid of her cold face, and sneered, "Hey, you don't want to admit it, right? Then let's go to the government office. I believe that with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, the county magistrate will be fair."

"Our credentials have the signature and fingerprints of the manager of your Guo family." He raised the credentials in his hand.

Chu Xiang looked over and then smiled and said, "Then tell me, which manager of our Guo family signed and sealed it?"

Is she that stupid? She would have dealt with the matter long ago.

It's impossible to find any evidence against her based on just one piece of evidence.

The steward raised his chin and said, "Guo Zhong, don't say he is not your family's steward. Even if he dies, your Guo family has to take responsibility for this."

Chu Xiang sneered, "What a joke! Why should our Guo family take responsibility for what Guo Zhong did?"

"Because he is a member of your Guo family, and because he is doing this for you." Du Zifeng said.

Chu Xiang looked at him, "If you say so, then so, where is the evidence?"

Du Zifeng raised his hand, and two strong men from the village came over carrying a person.

Seeing this, the onlookers automatically made way to let them in.

When Chu Xiang saw the person they were carrying, his face turned pale. How was it possible? He was clearly dead!

At this moment, Guo Zhong looked at her straight, and that look made her feel uneasy.
