Chapter XXV. Interrogation

"Big deal? What's the big deal? Helian Che looked surprised.

The guard looked at him, as if he wanted to see the slightest clue from the eyes behind the mask, and only after a while did he say: "The third young master was innocently killed, and the Taishi Mansion has a strong barrier and there is no sign of assassins breaking in, so the Taishi concludes that the murderer must be from the mansion!" ”

"What do you say? Third brother? The third brother he ...... How could it be ......"

Helian Che's face pretended to change from shock to mourning, and he lost his strength for a while, and his steps involuntarily took a step back.

Ye Lingyi clutched her chest, and secretly sneered in her heart, Helian Che knew it a long time ago, but at this time, he pretended not to know anything, it was really a waste of good seedlings not to act.

"Please go with your subordinates to meet the Grand Master!"

The guards all worked together.

Helian Che pretended to cooperate actively, and said fiercely: "Okay, I'll come now!" I want to see who dares to commit murder in the Taishi Mansion and kill my third brother, I will definitely make him pay for his blood debt! ”

After that, he took off his outer robe, turned his head and threw it behind him, and said indifferently: "You come with me!" ”

Ye Lingyi looked at him, and didn't say to go or go.

It was only after the group had gone out that she tightened her wide robe and followed.

There were two corpses in the brightly lit main hall of the Taishi Mansion.

In the center sat Helian Zhu, whose face was full of gloomy owls, and the kneeling was full of frightened subordinates, among whom there were nurses who knew a little about martial arts, and there were five big and three thick men and handmaidens who were powerless.

Ye Lingyi knelt in the middle of this group of people.

After seeing Helian Tu's corpse, Helian Che shook his seat and said bitterly: "Dare to ask my father what is going on?" I didn't expect that my father and I had only just entered the palace once, and the third brother was poisoned by this. ”

Helian Chu stood behind Helian Zhu and snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "You still dare to say that you don't know, in my opinion, the third brother was killed by you at all!" ”

"Big brother, what are you talking about?" Helian Che's face gradually turned from heavy pain to anger: "Big brother is so bloody, don't you know that today I went to the birthday banquet of the Holy Lord Queen Mother with my father?" Besides, why should I kill my third brother? ”

Helian Che's performance was seamless.

Helian Zhu sat on the seat and squinted his eyes, but he didn't see the slightest flaw.

Helian Chu said: "Who doesn't know that there was a fire in your house a few days ago? Maybe you are suspicious of the third brother and become resentful, and then ask your subordinates to kill the third brother, and you yourself use the queen mother's birthday banquet to create the illusion that it has nothing to do with you. ”

"It's unreasonable for the eldest brother to speak well, according to what the eldest brother said, if I have never entered the palace with my father, will the eldest brother say that I have stabbed my brother again?" Helian Che argued with great reason: "I never thought of doing this, even if the fire in my house was really set by the third brother, I would never do this, my father and I have a great kindness, and the third brother and I are brothers with similar blood although they are not siblings." Am I, Helian Che, the kind of brute who is ungrateful and disregards family affection? ”

Helian Chu disagreed: "That's hard to say." ”

Helian seemed tired of their argument: "Okay, don't talk about it. This can't be Che'er's doing. As a father, I believe that Che'er is not such an ignorant person. ”

"Father!"

Helian Chu wanted to say something, but Helian Zhu raised his hand to stop him.

Helian Zhu got up and walked down step by step, first walking past Helian Che, and then walking past the two corpses, and finally settled in front of Ye Lingyi.

"Look up."

Ye Lingyi, who hung his head, was stunned for a moment and slowly raised his head.

Helian looked at the clothes on her body and asked, "Why are you wearing the clothes of the second young master?" ”

This was given to Helian Che by Helian Note, and of course he recognized it.

But what can Ye Lingyi say?

"Back to the Taishi, the slave's clothes ......"

Ye Lingyi looked at Helian Che.

Helian squinted.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Lingyi said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes: "The slave's clothes were torn by the young master, so the master lent the robe to the slave." ”

"Rip-off?"

Helian stared at the girl at his feet, his scheming eyes seemed to be full of suspicion without any emotion.

At this time, Helian Che coughed dryly.

"When I went back to my father, my son must have drunk too much at the feast, and when he came back, he saw that the girl who was cleaning was still a little beautiful, and he was drunk and confused for a while. Please punish Father! ”

Helian looked at the guard who had just taken people to Tianxin Residence, and when he saw him nodding, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a serious tone: "Che'er, the Holy Lord Queen Mother has high hopes for you, don't be confused in women's affairs, the Taishi Mansion still expects you to win glory." ”

Helian Che responded.

Helian Chu gritted his teeth with hatred.

After a moment, Helian Zhu turned his back and looked at Ye Lingyi condescendingly: "As the leader of Cangling Mountain, you don't learn the ability to assist people, but you have learned to flatter the master, it seems that this master needs to punish the big admonition to set an example, come on......"

As soon as the words fell, the guards rushed up.

Helian confessed: "Take her down for me and whip her thirty!" ”

The guards received the order and put Ye Lingyi down without saying anything.

Helian Che's eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible coldness, and he quickly regained his composure: "How should my father thoroughly investigate the murder of the third brother?" ”

Helian Zhu walked to Helian Tu's corpse, and there was finally a trace of grief under the vicissitudes of life, Helian Tu was also his son no matter how bad he was, and now the white-haired man sent the black-haired man to how he didn't feel sad? It's just that Helian Note is not like an ordinary father, he has an endless desire for power and status in his heart, and future generations are of course very important to him, but what he values more is the road under his feet, and whether he can become a hero who can achieve grand hegemony, the young emperor's weakness and fear of power led to chaos in the harem, and he was unwilling to succumb to a woman, so he had already made up his mind that if he wanted to achieve his so-called grand hegemony, he must firmly stabilize the powerful stepping stone of Empress Dowager Liang.

And Helian Che's performance today, in fact, Helian Note didn't believe it at all. Who is Helian Che, how could he not know? If he was a lustful person who was difficult to control himself, he would not have rejected the beauty he wanted to send to Tianxinju several times. The intention behind it is evident that it is to protect the wolf cub.

With keen insight, including observing the ferocity of the attack, Helian Note could almost conclude that she killed Helian Tu, but because Liang Hou was particularly partial to Helian Che, Helian Che intended to protect the wolf cub, but he couldn't kill her easily, and the fact was so hateful.

Helian Che also knows that Helian Zhu, the old fox, can guess his own approach, and knows that he will choose to rest things for his own career, although this situation will not last long, Helian Zhu will never be willing to suffer this dumb loss, but as long as he is in a high position every day, Liang Hou will be jealous, and the more Helian Zhu is feared by Liang Hou, the more favorable the situation will be for Helian Che.

Between the two of them, it's just a matter of seeing who has the best move.

It's just that Ye Lingyi never thought that a robe that Helian Che casually threw to her would become her life-saving robe at a critical moment.

Helian stared at the corpse, but never answered.

At this time, there was a head outside the hall sneakily peeking in, but he didn't want to be caught by Qingfeng standing by the door.

"Who?"

Qingfeng pulled out his knife and shouted, finally succeeding in attracting everyone's attention.

The sneaky woman outside the hall trembled with fright, and was soon escorted to Helian Note.

"Taishi, this woman is just peeping outside."

The cold light in Helian's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he was worried that someone would take the initiative to come to the door without someone who could vent his integrity.

"Who are you?"

Helian raised his leg and kicked the woman with messy hair down.

The woman was so weak that she couldn't climb up after this kick and covered her chest, but fortunately, a kind female slave helped her.

"Back to the Taishi, the slave is ...... Horse...... Stablemanu ......"

Before he finished speaking, Helian Chu covered his nose and disliked: "Go, damn minion, what kind of place should you be?" Can you come here as a pickle? Come on, blast me out, don't dirty the pure place of the Taishi. ”

"Are you Liu Sanniang?"

Helian Che looked extremely stunned, of course, he pretended.

Liu Sanniang raised her head to look at him, and quickly lowered her head to cry and nodded: "The slave is Liu Sanniang, and the one lying over there is the slave's husband." ”

Helian Che looked at the slave who was in a particularly miserable state of death, and said coldly: "It turns out that you killed my third brother!" ”

Liu Sanniang didn't expect him to slander himself like this, and looked at Helian Che with a teardrop face, full of stunned and innocent: "The slave doesn't understand what Young Master Ling means at all, the slave only wants to come and see when he hears that his husband died tragically." ”

"Dare to quibble!"

Helian Che took advantage of the situation to snatch the knife in Qingfeng's hand and put it on Liu Sanniang's neck.

"You said that man was your husband, but do you know what your husband told me before he died?"

Liu Sanniang froze.

Helian Che looked at Helian Note next to him silently, and said, "There was a fire in my house a few days ago, you don't know about it, right?" And according to your husband who is on duty at night, it is because you have a grudge against me for reducing you to a slave, so you took advantage of your husband's position to deliberately set fire to me in the heart of heaven and try to murder you. ”

"What?" Liu Sanniang's eyes welled up with big drops in her eyes, and she said in disbelief: "This person who killed a thousand knives slandered me like this? ”

Helian Che ignored her words and said, "Although your husband has confessed everything! However, in order to clear your suspicion, he first blamed the arson on my poor third brother, of course I can't believe it, but now that I think about it, it must be your hateful husband who is afraid that the East Window incident will be dealt with by the third brother, so you husband and wife joined forces to kill my third brother first. ”

Tonight's events must be calmed down by a substitute for the dead.

Helian Che was extremely angry on the one hand, and at the same time he was very apologetic and made a very apologetic gesture to Helian Notes: "Please punish my father, the child thought that this matter was about the reputation of the third brother after all, so he didn't make a noise or alarm his father, but he only quietly punished the slave and let it go, but he never thought that this dog slave had the courage to ......"

Of course, this is his excuse, Helian Zhu closed his eyes slightly, sighed and said, "That's it, why are you guilty of thinking about your brother?" ”
