Lin Wan had been paying attention to the changes in Hu Heng's expression, and when she heard that the two children were orphans of the Fu family, she didn't seem to be too surprised; when she heard that the two children were hiding in the cellar, her face was annoyed; when she heard the child say that someone wanted to buy the Fu family's store, her eyes were obviously wide open, revealing fear; and when the child said that she didn't know who it was, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone was focused on the two children, and Hu Heng lowered his head again, so no one noticed his expression, except for Lin Wan, who was still half-kneeling beside the two children and had been secretly paying attention to him.

Lin Wan had already seen the words "Furuntang" on the jade pendant when she took it from the black-faced official, because she had only been here for more than a month, so she didn't know about Furuntang, so she secretly asked Gale to investigate, at that time, she just wanted to return the two children to a clean slate, but she didn't expect to find out a shocking case.

Wu Tong ignored Hu Heng for a while because he was attracted by a bigger case, he thought that Hu Heng's affairs were very clear, that is, he wanted to get a valuable jade pendant.

Wu Tong thought for a moment and announced, "Furuntang's case is now being tried by the Criminal Department, and this official will transfer the case to the Criminal Department." Then he turned to Hu Heng and shouted, "Hu Heng!"

"The villain is here!" Hu Heng replied in a trembling voice.

Wu Tong was shocked and shouted: "Hu Heng, you are guilty of robbing property, beating children, and framing the royal family when you see wealth?"

Hu Heng was shocked, framing the royal family is a capital crime! Hu Heng hurriedly kowtowed and shouted loudly: "My lord, my lord is wronged! The villain did not frame the royal family! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did reward the villain with a piece of jade pendant, but the villain just looked at it wrongly and did not intend to frame the royal family! My lord——"

Wu Tong looked at Zhou Tianhong with some embarrassment, only to see that Zhou Tianhong also had a difficult face, and said slowly: "This palace has indeed rewarded this Hu Heng with a piece of jade pendant, and it is indeed difficult for him to convince him that he intends to frame this palace. ”

Zhou Tianhong proved to Hu Heng that there was indeed a reward for jade pendants, and then threw the problem to Wu Tong, Wu Tongxin secretly complained, he didn't understand Zhou Tianhong's mind for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

"My lord, can you allow the people to say something?" Lin Wan said slowly.

Wu Tong's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed: "Miss Lin Qi, please speak!"

Lin Wan smiled slightly, stood up, looked up at Wu Tong, and said, "Since it is a reward from His Royal Highness the Prince, presumably Shopkeeper Hu will not lose it easily, and the adults only need to send someone to Changxing Tower and his house to check to know if he is panicking." ”

Wu Tong nodded and said, "Miss Lin Qi is worthy of being Lin Xiang's daughter, and she is really smart. Wu Tong was shocked, and said: "Come on, quickly go to Changxing Building and the criminal's house to verify." ”

"Yes!" four officials immediately stepped forward to receive the order.

"Slow!" Zhou Tianqi suddenly raised his hand and stopped: "In order to prevent the news from leaking, this prince sent two teams of soldiers to go together, and the soldiers were divided into two ways, go and return quickly!"

Wu Tong turned to the Seventh Prince and hugged his fist and said, "If the Seventh Prince is thoughtful, then there will be all the soldiers." ”

The Seventh Prince waved his hand and said: "This prince is ordered by his father to be responsible for the safety of the capital, since this matter has been encountered by this prince, the responsibility of this prince is, of course he cannot stand idly by." After speaking, he whispered a few words to the general beside him, and the general immediately took the order and left.

Hu Heng fell to the ground in a daze, sweating profusely and frightened. Zhou Tianhong's face did not change color, picked up the teacup, and drank tea slowly. Ximen Yuqing shook the folding fan, looking like he was watching a good show. Zhou Tianqi was still expressionless, looking ahead nonchalantly. Wu Tong sat between two princes and a prince, like sitting on pins and needles.

Lin Wan took the hands of the two children, walked to Qingtong and Luliu, and told the two to take the two children to the back hall to freshen up and change clothes. He whispered a few more words to Gale Wind, and Gale walked out with Qingtong and the others.

After Lin Wan did all this, he walked back to his seat and sat down, lowered his head and eyes, remained motionless, and sat quietly.

The hall suddenly fell silent, and the people outside the hall did not dare to talk anymore, some of the people had already left, but there were still many people who were unwilling to leave, waiting quietly outside the door. Inside and outside the main hall, only the sound of Ximen Yuqing slowly shaking a fan was heard.

After a quarter of an hour, Qingtong and Luliu came back with their two children to change their clothes, Fu Ninghai had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a fair complexion, and his hair was tied up, revealing obvious marks of beating at the corners of his mouth and eyes. Fu Ningning's eyebrows are clear, his eyes are shining, and he is very cute. After the two children entered the hall, they automatically walked towards Lin Wan's side.

Lin Wan smiled slightly, moved to the side, moved half of the chair, reached out and hugged Fu Ningning to her side and sat down, holding her little hand, and no longer letting go. Fu Ninghai also walked to Lin Wan and stood still, looking at Lin Wan with big eyes, full of gratitude.

Lin Wan smiled at him and nodded in appreciation.

"Lord Zhao of the Criminal Department is here!" shouted a servant at the door.

Lin Wan turned his head and saw his grandfather Zhao Zhengxiang striding in, although his beard was gray, his spirit was very good, his steps were calm, and his eyes were bright.

Zhao Zhengxiang walked into the hall, knelt down in front of Zhou Tianhong and Zhou Tianqi, and said: "Zhao Zhengxiang see His Royal Highness the Prince, see His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince." ”

Zhou Tianhong said softly: "Lord Zhao, no courtesy!"

Zhou Tianqi stood up, bent down slightly, and helped out of thin air, which showed respect, and said loudly: "Lord Zhao, please get up!"

Wu Tong got up to greet him, hugged his fists at Zhao Zhengxiang and said: "Lord Zhao, this case of Xiaguan involves the tragedy of Furuntang, and he was about to transfer it to the Criminal Department, but he didn't expect Lord Zhao to come in person, Lord Zhao is really well-informed, Xiaguan admires!

Zhao Zhengxiang nodded and said, "The official came immediately after receiving the news, how is the trial now?"

Wu Tong bowed and said: "Xiaguan accidentally found these two children, claiming to be orphans of the Fu family, they only know that before the Fu family's accident, someone once wanted to buy their family's shop and the signboard of a century-old brand, but was rejected by the head of the family, Fu Sanquan, but they don't know who this person is." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the clerk next to him presented the recorded confession in the case file.

Zhao Zhengxiang looked at the confession, and as Wu Tong said, he turned his eyes to the two children.

Lin Wan stood up, walked in front of Zhao Zhengxiang, bowed, and said, "Wan'er has seen grandpa." ”

Zhao Zhengxiang showed a smile on his square and serious face, held Lin Wan with both hands, and said lovingly: "Wan'er doesn't need to be polite, how is your mother lately?"

Lin Wan nodded, smiled slightly, and replied, "Mother is fine, please rest assured!"

Zhao Zhengxiang nodded and said softly, "Grandpa will send you back in a while." After speaking, he walked up the high hall. The official had already added a chair to Zhao Zhengxiang next to Zhou Tianqi.
