At the same time, he heard that many people had guessed that Prince Ying was the culprit. They said that Prince Ying and Prince Weimin were sworn enemies, like fire and water, but there was no evidence to prove it.

Perhaps it was because there were too few people Xue Yan had sent to keep an eye on Prince Weimin. They didn’t know who killed him, so none of them knew what happened. However, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were certain that it was Prince Ying who had done it.

Prince Ying and Prince Weimin had been mortal enemies in the past. Perhaps this wasn’t to the point where it was either one of them dying or the other, but Prince Weimin had crossed Prince Ying’s bottom line and wanted to kill Princess Jin. From Prince Ying’s point of view, only one of them could survive. Furthermore, Prince Ying’s faction was indeed much greater than Prince Weimin’s, and he had more capable subordinates than Prince Weimin. If he really used all of his assets, even if he couldn’t kill Prince Weimin immediately, he would be able to do so sooner or later.

The person who came to report this news also told Jiang Yue and Xue Yan that Prince Weimin’s eldest son would inherit the title, but because it was unknown who killed Prince Weimin, the Emperor accepted the suggestion of the officials and issued an edict to send people to investigate on this matter. In the end, they found evidence of Prince Weimin’s crimes in his residence, and they were all irrefutable evidence.

Therefore, Prince Weimin was demoted to a commoner. The fief that the previous Emperor had given to Prince Weimin was naturally taken back.

Prince Weimin was dead, and his sons were all id*ots. What use would they have taken over?

Those people who had pledged loyalty to Prince Weimin in the fief were under investigation as well, so they were left with nothing.

Some of them were even afraid that they would be implicated in the end and would really be sentenced to death. They even took the initiative to hand over the evidence and confirm the crime of Prince Weimin.

The person who came to report also said that the matter of the relief of silver and grain in all parts of Da Ling had been fully investigated. Ye Ziming had already returned to the capital. His methods were thunderous as an imperial envoy. Those who committed crimes were punished. He was not afraid of power. Not only did he become famous in one battle, but he was also promoted to the Supreme Court as soon as he returned to the capital.

Clearly, he was the Emperor’s future successor to the Supreme Court.

After eating longevity noodles for breakfast, Jiang Yue went to the old house to practice martial arts with Xue Yan.

At noon, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan came back from their old house. Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin also tagged along. Jiang Yue was five years old today, so she only had longevity noodles in the morning. The birthday banquet would be held in the afternoon, and everyone would have a scrumptious meal together to celebrate.

Xue Da and Xue Darong had already arrived. Xue Sifu had also returned from the shop. Xue Sifu had not only returned by himself, but he had also brought Dagui and Daxi back to celebrate.

Now, Xue Daxi was able to take charge of all the women employed in the shop. After divorcing Du Shanqiang, she became even more hardworking. She dedicated her life to working for Xue Hongguo’s future. Because of her good performance and great contribution to the shop, her salary naturally increased. She had already paid off the money and planned to build a house in the village next year or the year after.

The news that Sanfu was a commander had already spread to all the villages in the surrounding area. It had spread to other places as well. Du Shanqiang’s family had also found out, and they were all filled with regret.

A month ago, the Du family had personally brought Du Shanqiang to the shop in the county to apologize to Daxi and Xue Hongguo. They wanted to get back together. However, Daxi didn’t care about these things at all. At that time, she asked the shop assistant to kick Du Shanqiang out. Du Shanqiang’s family was already afraid of Sanfu being an official. Now that he was kicked out of the shop in front of so many people, they stopped trying. Just like Lin Xicui, he didn’t dare to come back.
