The Criminal Department is located on the east side of the Imperial City, only separated by a wall from Taichang Temple.

Stepping into the hospital, Shen Youqing felt very lonely, with only a few people guarding the gate.

Shen Youqing looked around, and couldn't help but shudder, at this time, the weather was much cooler, the leaves of the trees inside and outside the wall were falling, and when the wind blew, the dead leaves were accumulating and flying around.

"Lord Huo, how is this criminal department as cold as the prison?"

"Behind that wall is the prison." Huo Ying pointed to a gable with Shen Youqing's back, and his tone was gloomy.

Shen Youqing immediately jumped into the distance, away from the wall, Huo Ying hooked his lips and smiled, and did not say anything.

Shen Youqing looked at the inner courtyard of the Criminal Department, the general pattern was basically the same as that of the county government, but the Criminal Department was much larger and more majestic; The criminal department is separated from the Taichang Temple by a wall, and the prison is only separated by a back wall, the east side of the imperial city is originally the place of the sun, when the sun does not turn, it is dark and damp, only the light is cast down to have a little warmth.

"Come with me."

Huo Ying said lightly, and Shen Youqing immediately followed.

Shen Youqing followed into the lobby, and before she could stand still, she heard Huo Ying knock on the table, "Come and take a look at these cases." ”

Hearing this, Shen Youqing saw a stack of case files on the table with a warped head, which was more than a foot high.

Huo Ying looked at the corner of the table with heavy eyes, and said: "These are the tragic cases of the destruction of the door nineteen years ago, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department at that time designated that case as a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, but in recent days, the official has no intention of flipping through the file and found that there are many suspicious points......"

"Master Huo, do you want to overturn the case?" Shen Youqing was shocked.

The big case of destroying the door more than ten years ago has already been closed, Huo Ying, a four-grade petty official, can transfer the file at will, but can he also overturn the case at will?

"Yes." Huo Yingdao, in Shen Youqing's opinion, his gaze was very firm.

Shen Youqing didn't speak for a long time, she needed to think about whether to take this risk, the officials who had always proposed to turn over the old case were not a flattering thing, if there was no special necessary reason. It is almost impossible to overturn the case.

"Are there any survivors in this case?"

"Yes." Huo Ying sat on the circle chair, Shen Youqing was condescending, he needed to raise his head to see her eyes, after hearing his answer. There was a clear flash of surprise in her eyes.

Shen Youqing flipped through two pages of the dossier, Xiao Sheng's name was written on the dossier, she looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was Xiao Sheng.

It is related to Xiao Sheng......

"Master Huo, this case was closed more than ten years ago. The dossier said that the mountain bandit who killed Lord Feng's family was caught at that time, but what it was, I'm afraid you and I don't know, the records of people in the royal family will always be tampered with more or less. ”

When Shen Youqing said this, he raised his eyes and looked at Huo Ying, seeing that there was no difference in his expression, and continued: "Can Master Huo let me meet that person, or explain it to me?"

Huo Ying closed his eyes and looked tired. After a long time, he replied: "Fourth Miss, you think you understand, but what do you think a five-year-old child can remember?"

Huo Ying's tone was a little disgusted, and Shen Youqing also glanced at him with disgust, he asked her to help, and he didn't tell her to understand how she could help......

"Who is that kid, is that your friend?"

"I guess so."

Shen Youqing was stunned for a moment, what does this ambiguous attitude mean?

Huo Ying's expression moved. Qu fingers tapped a few times on the table, "Fourth Miss, it's not a good thing to know too much. ”

Why drag her in when you know it's not a good thing......

Shen Youqing was resentful. It's just that before she blurted out the words of complaint, reason made her obediently shut up; Huo Ying is her grandfather's apprentice, no matter what, he probably won't pull her into the abyss, which she may be able to believe.

Shen Youqing stayed in the Criminal Department for nearly an hour, and finally finished reading those case files.

Get out of the penal department. Shen Youqing stretched lazily, and Huo Ying suddenly said, "Did you delay you and Xiao Yan today?" ”

"Lord Huo, can I ask about your relationship with King Ning? Why do you dare to call him by his first name? ”

Others are respectful when they mention Xiao Yan, only Huo Ying, when he mentions Xiao Yan, he not only calls him by his name, but also has a bit of banter, and it seems that he is very close.

And before that, Huo Ying was not as casual with Xiao Yan as he is now.

Huo Ying raised his eyebrows and smiled, "The relationship between this official and him...... Fourth Miss, you should ask him this question. ”

Shen Youqing is not a person with many curiosities, so Huo Ying is so insistent on keeping her mouth shut, she doesn't bother to ask again.

She turned around and wanted to leave, but Huo Ying grabbed her wrist and let go without a trace, "Fourth Miss is willing to help with this, and the official should thank Fourth Miss." ”

"How do you want to thank me?" Shen Youqing looked at him, with the intention of asking for a reward.

Huo Ying couldn't help but smile, walked forward, and motioned for Shen Youqing to follow.

Shen Youqing followed him for some reason, and went up the mountain behind the Criminal Department, until he climbed the small pavilion on the high platform, and he didn't know what Huo Ying wanted to express his gratitude.

"Lord Huo is too stingy, shouldn't the thank you gift be silver or something?"

"The official thinks that the fourth lady is not such a worldly person."

Shen Youqing squinted her eyes and smiled, "Lord Huo doesn't know, I am a worldly person. ”

Huo Ying had already ignored her words, walked to the fence, looked at the clouds in the distance, and said lightly: "This pavilion is the highest place in the outer city of the palace, and from here, you can almost see the entire capital......"

Shen Youqing looked at this small pavilion, the fence was extremely low, there was no platform on the outside of the fence, and when he looked down, it was one zhang high, which looked really shocking.

Shen Youqing immediately had a feeling of weakness in her legs and feet......

It was almost unitary, under the dusk sky, looking from afar, the entire imperial city was covered with a layer of brilliant colors.

"The scenery is indeed spectacular, I can't imagine that Lord Huo is so elegant."

"Fourth Miss, you can know that this is Xiao Yanjian's pavilion."

"It was built for Lord Huo?"

“…… No! ”

Shen Youqing blew a gust of wind quietly, and her tired body and mind seemed to be much clearer.

"Fourth Miss, what do you say will happen if you jump from here?" Huo Ying suddenly approached Shen Youqing and whispered in her ear.

Shen Youqing couldn't help but shrink a little, and before she could open her mouth to get angry, she only felt that a pair of hands behind her pushed her fiercely, and she was almost defenseless, and fell straight towards the rockery......

At that moment, Shen Youqing only cared about cursing Huo Ying, she didn't notice the smile in Huo Ying's eyes, it was a wicked smile that the trick was about to succeed.

Huo Ying looked at the figure rushing over from the high platform, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth...... (To be continued.) )xh:.74.240.212
