Tie Chao's heartfelt words not only touched the returning family members and servants, but even Shi Jiu and them secretly praised it.

Shi Jiu could see that these former royal servants were surrounded by Tie Chao, showing a special affection that only relatives have.

They all watched Tie Chao grow up from birth to adulthood, and the disparity in the status of dignity and inferiority in the Second Wang's Mansion was not very great, before Tie Chao's parents left, they lived together, and everyone's feelings were already like relatives.

Tie Chao inquired about the whereabouts of his parents, and only one elderly flower worker told Tie Chao that after only a brief farewell between his parents and a few relatives, he left Fancheng in a simple carriage without any family members and retinue.

Tie Chao lowered his head and sighed for a while, he knew that he would not be able to find his parents for a while, and it was imperative to arrange his brothers and friends first.

So Tie Chao instructed the returning servants to clean out a few more guest rooms, and arranged for Shi Jiu and them to live separately, instead of everyone having to huddle in one room to suffer.

Duan Wushuang circled inside and outside the Second Wang's Mansion, he ran to Tie Chao's side, groped out a silver ticket from his arms, and handed it to Tie Chao.

Duan Wushuang said: "To be honest, if it weren't for the last time Brother Jiu was in danger, my aunt and grandmother would still have a lot of money in my hands, so there is nothing that can help now, and this money will save you first." ”

"How can I accept your help?!" Tie Chao blushed, he was not embarrassed to accept Duan Wushuang's silver ticket at all.

Brother Scar has always been by Duan Wushuang's side, he has long seen Duan Wushuang's intentions, and he helped Duan Wushuang and said: "Now that the Second Wangfu doesn't have to be, arrange for the next person to buy the necessary items, and let the room purchase some vegetables, rice, noodles and other things, and everyone looks like they will not leave the palace for a while." ”

Tie Chao thought about it, what Brother Scar said was not unreasonable, he sighed and took the silver ticket gratefully.

Tie Chao, who has never worried about money since he was a child, deeply experienced the troubles of the four walls of his family for the first time, and once again felt the preciousness of friendship and the affection of brothers.

With money, I quickly bought all the necessary products for life, and I also bought a lot of seasonal vegetables.

Luo Xiaopang still wanted to show his skills, but was finally stopped by Tie Chao and said, Sunset Valley has been working hard for a long time, since he has arrived at the palace, how can he experience the hospitality of the palace, Luo Xiaopang smiled happily and accepted Tie Chao's arrangement with satisfaction.

Dinner had just been prepared, and everyone was sitting together before the official meal began, and there was a bustle at the gate of the palace.

Brother Scar said: "The news of Brother Tie's return should have spread all over Fancheng, is there another old man from the palace coming back, I'll go to the door to see." ”

After a while, Brother Scar ran back, and he hurriedly said: "There are a lot of people wearing linen and filial piety gathered at the door, and there are also a lot of big black coffins, Brother Tie, they want to see you by name, do you want to go out and have a look?"

"Carrying the coffin must be trying to make trouble!" Duan Wushuang said angrily: "Old Scar, look at your panicked appearance, Brother Tie is still the prince now, a group of villains in the market are just making trouble, how can they just let them see as much as they want." ”

As soon as Duan Wushuang finished speaking, an old servant also came to report that outside the door were the family of Ma Rulong, the captain of the Sunset Valley guard, and they kept saying that they wanted to seek justice from the little prince.

Tie Chao lowered his head and pondered for a while and said: "Uncle Ma treats me well on weekdays, he died tragically this time, before the matter is revealed, I am still the most suspicious anyway, I still go out and explain." ”

Shi Jiu said, "Okay, I'll accompany you." Everyone else can eat in peace, and everyone goes out, as if we have done something wrong and have no confidence. ”

The others knew that Shi Jiu would not do something they were not sure about, but they did not sit down to eat happily, so they could only wait for Shi Jiu and Tie Chao to come back.

Shi Jiu and Tie Chao hadn't arrived at the gate yet, and sure enough, they had already heard a cry, and even insulted them from time to time.

Shi Jiu grabbed Tie Chao and said: "Brother Tie, wait a minute, the person outside the door should be Ma Rulong's family, there is no doubt that you look at the black coffin, they are going to carry the coffin to make trouble, there must be someone behind it." ”

Tie Chao nodded, he had already seen several huge coffins lined up outside the door of the palace.

Shi Jiu said in a low voice: "We prevaricate perfunctory, or refuse to admit it, these people are by no means easy to give up, it is better to follow their words and set a time to temporarily appease the emotions of the Ma family." ”

Tie Chao stood at the door and watched, he knew all of these crying Ma Rulong's family.

But these crying people recognized Tie Chao at once, after all, Tie Chao has the unique tower-like appearance of the royal family, which is equivalent to announcing that he is the little prince of the palace.

The crying crowd outside the door couldn't help but be a little surprised to see Tie Chao come out, and there was only one "attendant" by his side, and their crying also paused.

At this time, an older woman in the lead asked, "Little prince, we won't beat around the bush." Our old horse is law-abiding, hard-working, and unexpectedly killed by your subordinates, we can't find the old prince to ask for an explanation, but since you dare to come out, you must return this justice to us!"

Tie Chao shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I understand everyone's sorrow, Uncle Ma has always treated me like a relative, if I say that Uncle Ma's tragic death has nothing to do with me, everyone will definitely not believe it, but I am here to assure you that I am innocent! I only ask everyone to give me three months, and I will definitely arrest the real murderer." ”

The old woman said unrelentingly: "Little prince, did you send us orphans and widows with one mouth?" Fortunately, the king was wise and decisively announced that the second prince's mansion would not escape the blame, and that your father, the second prince, already knew the bad things you had done, and fled to where he took your mother and did not know where to go. Even if we are willing to believe that this matter has nothing to do with the little prince, even if we give you a three-month period, then what, how can you explain?"

Tie Chao said categorically: "When the three-month period is up, if I can't arrest the criminals, I will be guilty and die!"

The Ma family, who wore linen and filial piety, made a mess, and the old woman said loudly: "One day if the real murderer is not brought to justice, our old horse's coffin will not leave the Second Wang's Mansion for a day!"

Tie Chao waved his hand and said: "Please carry Uncle Ma's coffin to the vestibule, I will send someone to guard it day and night, and within the three-month period, I should support the coffin and burn incense every day until the real murderer is in the law, comforting Uncle Ma's spirit in the sky." ”

Everyone in the Ma family saw that Tie Chao not only did not expel the crying crowd, but instead carried the unfortunate coffin into the inner court of the palace, and everyone really had no reason to continue to splash, but they just muttered and made noise for a while, and they all dispersed.
