Unsurprisingly, the death of Shan Dongchuan caused a sensation.
After all, he was the head of the Qingzhou's Liushan Division and his sudden death on a public street was unexpected by everyone.
Fortunately, this time the officialdom didn't frame Jiang Mo for Shan Dongchuan's death. After a detailed autopsy and investigation, they concluded that he died at the hands of an assassin.
This cast yet another shadow over the already unsettled Qingzhou.
With Ran Qingchen missing, Yuan Anjiang, the highest official of the Liushan Division, had no choice but to step in and take over the mess.
While urgently reporting to the court, he also specially extracted a team from the Liushan Division to carry out a thorough investigation.
Yuan Anjiang was no fool.
Combining various abnormal behaviors of Shan Dongchuan before his death, he suspected that Shan might have been silenced.
As for who was behind Shan Dongchuan, it remained a mystery.
