Looking at Wu Dongsi, Pei Qin recounted the assault that happened during the night.
Wu Dongsi gasped after hearing the account, and his first thought was also that Pei Zongli and Lady Qian had hired assassins to commit murder. Once he asked for more details, he expressed relief, "Fortunately, Young Master Shen was thorough in his considerations and arranged guards for you ahead of time; otherwise, last night would have been perilous! However, this matter... the assassin has already fled, and the bodies and traces of the two who died have also been wiped clean, making it difficult even to file a case."
"That's why you only need to investigate the matter of the goods, Sir Wu. Following this clue, you might be able to uncover who's behind it all." Pei Qin already had her suspicions; now she just needed to investigate to see if she could rule out anyone from Yuanyang County and Runing Prefecture. If she could exclude them, then the perpetrator would be in the Capital Jingcheng.
