On the day Han Jiangxue's second uncle was escorted back to Beijing, the Han family just glanced at the second uncle from a distance, but compared to worrying about it for so long, this distant glance also made them feel comforted.

After that, they didn't see anyone again, and it wasn't until the fifth day when the second uncle was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department that the Han family got a chance to visit.

The presiding judge of the thorough investigation of the case has been determined, and it is Lord Du Shengqing Du of Dali Temple.

This person has the first iron judgment in Dongming, he is particularly fair, every case in his hands is judged to make people speechless, no matter how big the official is, once there is a problem, he will not be soft, on the contrary, if there is a wrong, he will definitely return justice.

Originally, the first chief judge was naturally not Du Shengqing, who was arranged, but it was the prince Shaobao who was ordered at that time. Unexpectedly, the crown prince Shaobao had some accidents just after he was given the order, but there was no way to get out in a short time.

When the emperor rearranged the candidates, someone in the court recommended Du Shengqing to be the chief judge of the case, but the emperor did not nod at the time, and it seemed that he was not willing to handpick this person.

But Du Shengqing came out in public to ask for his life, saying that he was the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, and it was most appropriate for him to preside over the trial. What's more, the Huaizhou assassination case involves a wide range of people, and he is afraid that ordinary people may not dare to handle the case fairly and strictly, even if they take over the case.

Du Shengqing's attitude is very firm, and no one who knows his character feels any surprise, because this person is an official who only talks about what should be done and what should not be done, and the rest of the worries and scruples have never been.

In the past, the emperor greatly admired Du Shengqing's official attitude, after all, such a talent was hard to find for Dongming. But in the matter of Du Shengqing taking the initiative to invite the presiding judge of Han Tingshi, he was so angry that he couldn't get angry.

It's just a time like this. Some officials of the Criminal Department followed up and admonished almost at the same time, and some other ministers also recommended Du Shengqing to preside over the case, which made it a little difficult for the emperor to ride a tiger.

If the emperor does not agree to Du Shengqing's self-recommendation. That shouldn't be too surprising, because this person is the best person in every way. Therefore, the emperor appointed Du Shengqing as the chief judge, and at the same time transferred two confidants to assist in the trial, and the matter was officially decided.

Du Shengqing and the Han family originally had no intersection, and the reason why he took the initiative to ask for a banquet this time to deal with the case of Han's assassination was that there was an urgent report a few days ago. The floods in Huaizhou are getting worse day by day, and all the things such as disaster relief and resettlement of the people are all because of Han Tingshi's arrest, but they are even more in a very serious situation.

Even, Du Shengqing heard that many people in Huaizhou were complaining. accusing Qin of sending Hu Lai not only harmed Han Thorn History, but also harmed the suffering people of Huaizhou.

Hearing these rumors, Du Shengqing even sent his cronies to Huaizhou secretly. Sure enough, I found that this statement was true.

Because Han Thorn was arrested. Huaizhou is now in chaos. The new temporary assassin did not focus on the earthquake relief at all, but wholeheartedly cooperated with the Qin Cha to find various "criminal evidence" of Han Assassin's history, and did not put people's livelihood in his eyes at all.

On the other hand, until the last quarter of an hour when he was banned by the Qin Mission, he was still in the most severely affected place and worked with the people to repair the embankment, and he sat in the formation to command the transfer and settlement of the victims, and deployed manpower to do the aftermath of the disaster and the prevention of various secondary disasters.

Of course, Du Shengqing didn't believe that such a pragmatic and capable good official would come out with the crimes that Qin Cha had broken. Later, I heard that the emperor directly avoided Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and instead ordered the crown prince Shaobao to preside over the trial and thoroughly investigate the history of Han's assassination, and even made it clear that even the Han family did not have to scruple. It should be investigated and dealt with as it should be.

In this way, Du Shengqing naturally thought that this probably involved some delicate situations between the royal family and the Han family.

Originally, it was replaced by someone else. If you guess this possible inside story, I am afraid that you will avoid it, but Du Shengqing's thoughts are different from ordinary people. In his opinion, no matter what kind of dislike and prejudice the emperor has against the Han family, in short, he must not do such a thing that harms good ministers, otherwise it will only chill people's hearts.

In this case, Du Shengqing naturally couldn't say anything to the emperor, after all, he was just guessing, but he felt that what he could do was to stand up and find out the case of Han Tingshi fairly and justly, so that he could truly serve the imperial court and serve this Jiangshan Sheji.

Of course, Du Shengqing didn't know that the news about the recent situation in Huaizhou was deliberately transmitted to his ears by someone, in order to naturally add fuel to the fire, so that he, the first iron judge, took the initiative to take over the case of Han Assassin Shi, and the unlucky prince Shaobao happened to have an accident There is also another article.

However, the twists and turns in this are just a small episode, and it does not change the truth of the whole fact, so Du Shengqing will not care too much even if he knows these things in the future.

Because Du Shengqing took over the case, the Han family quickly met the second child of the Han family according to the regulations.

Although the meeting time was very short, and there was a special person in charge to supervise it, such a meeting seemed very precious to the Han family.

Han Feng was the first to speak, and there was no need to mention anything else at all, just tell the child that his second uncle was at ease. Before arranging some specific matters of the case, Han Jing had already found opportunities to communicate with his second uncle along the way, so of course there was no need to waste such a precious time to meet now, not to mention that there were still people staring at it.

And Han Feng just said a few words, and soon gave the rest of the time to the second lady and the second child, so that their family could talk and relieve their worries and worries.

Han Jiangxue and her brother stood silently beside their father, accompanying the second aunt and them, listening to them talk to the second uncle.

The second aunt pulled a few children and said this and that, many of them were just repetitive worries and inquiries, but the second uncle was completely different from the old-fashioned seriousness in his previous impression, and patiently replied over and over again, comforting his wife and children.

At that moment, Han Jiangxue understood that the relationship between the two uncles and aunts was really good, and such tribulation made the affection between their husband and wife even more precious.

The meeting time was very short, and after a while, the group had to leave first.

Just as Han Jiangxue turned around, the second uncle, who had never spoken to her alone, looked at her and said very gently and emotionally: "Our Xue'er has grown up!" ”

Just this sentence, nothing else, Han Jiangxue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but she didn't say anything, and then quickly replied with a big smile at the second uncle, and slowly left under the urging of the prison.

In the next month or so, the second uncle's case had a great impact in the capital.

The thorough investigation of the case is also in full swing, not only during the period when Huaizhou was an official, but also all aspects of the second uncle's previous appointment in other places have naturally entered the scope of the investigation.

In particular, what surprised the people of the capital was that in addition to the criminal himself, the content of the investigation was not only the criminal himself, but also the entire Han family was implicated.

The Han family has almost been affected by the investigation these days, and many news that is unfavorable to the Han family has spread, only saying that this time the Han family is afraid that it will be more than lucky.

After all, everyone understands this truth, no matter which family or clan, once it is clearly investigated, then it must mean that someone from above has nodded their heads, otherwise it is impossible for the dignified family to be implicated so easily.

And for everyone like the Chao family, what kind of bird will not have when the forest is big? If there are many industries, how can you not find something to talk about at all? This shows that there are people above who want to embarrass the Han family, no wonder the gambling situation is becoming more and more one-sided, and there are very few people who are optimistic about the Han family.

Especially recently, it was reported that the officials who thoroughly investigated it really found a big problem from the Han family's accounts, and it seems that a large number of materials transported from Huaizhou were found in the Han family's shop.

Once the news spread, it was a little unstoppable, although there were still people who believed that such news was not necessarily credible, or even if it was really discovered, it could not mean that Han Tingshi must have done those unsightly things.

But inevitably, more people began to put money on the Han family, and it was difficult to turn over this time, so that the odds on the Han family's side became more and more frighteningly high.

Tomorrow is the day when the criminal department officially starts the trial, and it is also the deadline for the closing of the gambling market, Han Jiangxue specially invited his father and eldest brother to the study early in the morning, saying that there was something important to discuss with them.

"Father, eldest brother, now among the gambling houses in the capital, there are very few gambling houses in the capital where the second uncle can clear his name, and the odds are as high as more than ten times, so I want to discuss with you to see if our Han family can take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune?"

Han Jiangxue said bluntly: "These days, I deliberately let people release some news that is not favorable to the second uncle and the Han family, and now the odds should have reached the top, after all, the market will be closed tomorrow, so our Han family bets or not, and now we have to make a decision." ”

"Bet! What's not to gamble on? Dare to treat our Han family as a pastime, this time we just want them to accompany the Han family for pastime"! Han Jing expressed his support as soon as he heard this, and after returning from Huaizhou these days, he was also not idle for a moment, and it was only last night that he could finally be idle and wait for the trial to start tomorrow.

Seeing this, Han Feng did not object: "Xue'er wants to gamble, just gamble." ”

However, hearing her father's words, Han Jiangxue shook her head and said, "No, it's not me who bets, it's our Han family who bets!" And it's not a small gamble, but a big gamble! (To be continued......)
