Chapter 392: Bite your tongue and commit suicide

"What you said is true, the government has really come to the news, saying that the thief has been caught?" The flower cake was only half eaten, and Bai Qingshuang put it on the table, raised his feet and left.

"Wait, don't be in such a hurry!" Xu Jingxuan grabbed her and said, "It's not too late for you to go when the yamen sends a circular, fill your stomach first, otherwise you will be hungry until night!" ”

It was also after he came in that he realized that she hadn't eaten at noon, how could he let her go like this at this time.

After holding her, he also said noisily: "You quickly bring the hot meal first, make the meal, and let you girls eat before going out!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Girl, you can't do it without eating, you sit down first, and the slaves and maids will serve the food and eat. Mother Zhao hurriedly beckoned everyone to do it.

This kitchen is an expansion of the old kitchen, although the masters are no longer in the kitchen to eat, but there is still a table in the kitchen, so they set up the dishes and chopsticks nearby, and serve the hot food for Bai Qingshuang to eat.

Bai Qingshuang picked up a bowl of rice indiscriminately, ate a few bites of food, that is, the time when Xu Jingxuan ate two flower cakes, and then threw the bowl away, and told them to go to the front to see if Bai Zhihong and his son had come back, so they hurriedly went directly to the stable, let people set up a carriage, and Wanshou drove out of the Bai family quickly.

Bai Qingfeng, who was walking out of the gate of Baifu next door, saw his carriage speeding away, and immediately asked, "Dad, is Shuang'er going out?" ”

Bai Zhihong frowned slightly and said, "About yes!" ”

After speaking, he walked a few steps back to the door of his house and asked the porter, "Is the girl out?" Do you know what it is? ”

"Back to Mr. and the young master's words, Wanshou got the news from the yamen and came back, saying that the murder case had been settled, so he came back to invite the girl out!" The porter replied respectfully.

"What homicide? What yamen? Bai Qingfeng asked in surprise.

"Let's go home for dinner first, Daddy tells you what happened this morning!"

"Daddy! I'm not hungry! I'm going to chase the frost! "Bai Qingfeng is not at ease with Bai Qingshuang.

"Don't be stubborn!" Bai Zhihong grabbed him and said, "If you chase after you without eating, your sister will definitely be angry!" Moreover, this matter is personally supervised by the six princes. Frost will be fine! You just listen to your father, you must be very tired to deal with the emperor's exam questions in the morning, so don't add to the burden on Shuang'er! Let's believe in Frost. She has the ability to handle a good thing! ”

Bai Qingfeng paused, at this time he was hungry in his stomach, he still remembered that after he got better, one day he forgot to eat because he worked too hard, and he was so hungry that his stomach hurt. When Shuang'er found out, she said that he was hungry and had stomach problems, and if she didn't cherish her body in the future, she would be angry.

From then on, no matter how hard he wanted to work, he would definitely remember Shuang'er's words and not let himself get sick and make her uncomfortable.

At this time, there is a faint feeling of colic in the abdomen, and I am afraid that if I don't eat again, I will definitely have stomach problems. When the time comes, Frost will be sad again, and he won't cherish himself.

Moreover, my father was right, in this family, Shuang'er has always been the most assertive and powerful of them, no matter what happens, he thinks she will be able to solve it.

And he, the most important thing is his career, only when his career is smooth, can he really help his sister.

"Daddy! Let's go in and eat! ”

——

Here, longevity is fast. Within a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the palace.

Because the case has not been tried publicly, there is no crowd of onlookers outside the palace, and after Wanshou got off the horse and reported, a government official led three people into the inner office.

In the side hall of the inner office. Xu Jingyu was talking to Lord Yin Zhang, and after hearing the news that Bai Qingshuang was coming, he couldn't help but show a relaxed smile on his face.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Xu Jingxuan who was following Bai Qingshuang, and his smile almost disappeared.

Fortunately, as soon as Master Zhang turned his head, he also saw Xu Jingxuan, and immediately got up and saluted, just covering his somewhat embarrassed face.

"I didn't know that His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes were here. The lower officials have missed the distance, and please forgive your highness! ”

"Excuse me!" Xu Jingxuan pulled Bai Qingshuang's hand, sat down on a Taishi chair parallel to Xu Jingxuan, and motioned for Bai Qingshuang to sit on the seat where he started.

Bai Qingshuang first saluted Xu Jingju, and then gave a salute to Lord Zhang, although she is now accustomed to the process of bowing between high and low, but she still can't help but complain silently in her heart.

Of course, she didn't dare to sit down in the position designated by Xu Jingxuan at will, after all, she was a grass citizen, and it was better to be cautious, so she retreated to the most subordinate position and sat down, and asked anxiously: "The folk girl heard Wanshou tell me that she had caught the perpetrator, but is it true?" ”

After Master Zhang sat down in his original position, he first glanced sideways at Xu Jingju, and when he saw him signaling himself to speak, he spoke: "The murderer was indeed caught, and he also confessed to what he had done, but he was just ......."

Bai Qingshuang's heart skipped a beat and asked, "Just what?" ”

"It's just that after he drew a charge on the confessional paper, he bit his tongue and committed suicide!" Master Zhang couldn't see any expression on his face.

"What? Biting your tongue and killing yourself? Bai Qingshuang stood up abruptly with some excitement, but after seeing Xu Jingyu's gaze out of the corner of his eye, he knew that he had lost his temper, so he immediately confessed and sat down slowly, but his heart was unusually uncalm.

"Biting his tongue and committing suicide, is this guilty to die to apologize? Or are you bent into a trick, and the suspect can't stand the torture and seeks relief? Or is there something else going on? Xu Jingxuan sat down and leaned on the Taishi chair, if it weren't for the tea on the coffee table shared with Xu Jingyu, he would definitely put his legs up.

"Oops! His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, such a thing as bending into a trick, the lower officials would never dare to do it! Master Zhang said with sincere fear, "Moreover, at that time, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince was also supervising the trial, and the lower officials did not dare to come nonsense!" ”

"Oh? Sixth brother has been there since the morning? Xu Jingxuan's tone sounded very careless, but looking at Xu Jingxuan's eyes, he stared at it as if he was discharging.

Xu Jingyu gracefully picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before replying lightly: "Since I happened to witness this case with my own eyes, I naturally want to supervise it in person!" ”

"The sixth brother is so leisurely, and he is so serious and responsible!" Xu Jingxuan made no secret of his sarcasm, "Ninth brother, I have never seen the sixth brother do it so himself!" ”

Putting down the teacup, Xu Jingjie did not show weakness and said: "That is the ninth brother who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun every day, so naturally he has not paid attention to the behavior of the sixth brother." ”

Then the conversation changed again: "However, your suspicion is not unreasonable, but Master Zhang really did not torture the suspect, the suspect knew that he was guilty, and after confessing, he bit his tongue and committed suicide!" (To be continued.) )
