The steward turned around outside Huo's house for half an hour, and he didn't gain anything, so he could only go back to the post house.

Shun Pingbo sat in the room, his face so white that there was no blood.

"Uncle," asked the steward, "what is the matter with you?" ”

Shun Pingbo shook his head: "Did you ask anything?" ”

The steward replied: "There is not much news, but I heard that the fourth prince is very famous in Beijing, and he threw a rich merchant in Shuzhong into the yamen." ”

Shun Pingbo smiled bitterly: "What is a rich businessman, we are not comparable to any merchant, the prince of the dignified uncle's mansion, he doesn't just throw it away." ”

The steward hurriedly said: "I also heard that he provoked the hearts of many girls, according to the old slave's opinion, the Ding'an Hou Mansion thought that he was holding Gao Zhi, and when they cried when they turned around." ”

"Who knows," Shun Pingbo wiped his face and said, "The old man just inquired from the post officer, the one from the Huo family's fourth line, named Huo Yixiao, has been raised in the palace all these years.

He reads with the three princes, and he is the eyeball of Concubine Huo, and even the princes may not be able to gain the upper hand when they compete with him, which shows how favored he is!

No wonder it can't be like this!

The emperor said that they were all spoiled, and it turned out to be this meaning! ”

It's just that the surname is Huo, Shun Pingbo thinks he can still deal with it, the children of the Huo family say too much, and say less or less, there is always a weight.

He sued Huo Yixiao and Huo Huaiding together, once Huo Huaiding was implicated, the Huo family would definitely be important and abandon a useless child.

It's just that Shun Pingbo didn't expect that Huo Yixiao was not useless.

The most important person in front of Concubine Huo.

He wanted to save Ji Jiu, but it was difficult.

"I knew that the old man should have asked the post officials for some news first, and then entered the palace to face the saint," Shun Pingbo was stunned, "This move is wrong." ”

The steward asked, "What do you plan to do next?" ”

Shun Pingbo was silent, and sighed again.

What can he do, he can't go back to Lin'an Mansion in disgrace.

In the Imperial Study.

The emperor leaned on the dragon chair, closed his eyes and recuperated, his face was cloudy.

Huo Yixiao sat aside, sitting relaxed, and even yawned without scruples.

Gonggong Wu stood in front of him, holding the case file in his hand, glanced at the emperor, and saw that the emperor didn't see it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to ask: "Yin Lei caught that Chen Jiuyu?" ”

Huo Yixiao replied: "Yes, he is just lucky." ”

Gonggong Wu asked again: "When Chen Jiuyu and Huaishan were interrogated, the four sons were present. ”

"Here, I'm listening to Governor Li's questioning." Huo Yixiao said.

Gonggong Wu asked again: "When the yamen went to Shunping Bofu to arrest Ji Ji, the four sons went together?" ”

"Go," Huo Yixiao said, "Let's see the excitement." ”

Gonggong Wu continued to ask: "Did you bring Ji Ji back to the Yamen?" ”

"They dragged their feet, Mrs. Shunping was at the front, and my uncle had to go to Mingzhou Mansion later, how could I keep delaying in Lin'an, I helped out." Huo Yixiao said.

Gonggong Wu put the case file in front of the emperor and said, "The little ones are all asked." ”

The emperor said "en", opened his eyes, and said, "Then I came to ask." ”

Huo Yixiao turned slightly sideways and faced the emperor.

The emperor asked: "Is it you the one who threw Ji Ji into the West Lake to take a bath?" ”

Huo Yixiao replied: "Throw it." ”

The emperor stabilized his emotions and asked again: "After throwing it away, you still ran to the Pingbo Mansion to make a big show and show off your might?" ”

Huo Yixiao replied: "I went, I told a few words of truth, maybe they are not used to listening to such truths, and they feel uncomfortable." ”

"You know you don't speak well?" The emperor pressed his eyebrows and said angrily.

This kid is deliberate, what is not good to hear, even he can be angry, not to mention in Shunping Bofu, no one can control it.

Huo Yixiao smiled: "It's very common to be loyal to your ears." ”

The emperor glared at him and continued to ask patiently: "Coerce and lure the subordinates of the Bofu and let him testify against Ji Ji?" ”

Huo Yixiao said: "I don't ask about the torture and confession methods that are common in the yamen, and Governor Li will ask too." ”

"Why aren't these things written in the case file?" The emperor's fingertips pointed to the case file.

Huo Yixiao said: "I didn't write the case file, I don't know, since you asked, I will try to answer, that case is Ji Jiu's murder, and it has nothing to do with the things you just asked, so naturally I won't write it." If the Ji family wants to sue me for throwing Ji into the water, it will definitely be written in that case file. ”

The emperor snorted.

What to sue, just such a bastard in Ji Jiu, Shunping Bofu has the face to sue?

Thinking of the way Shun Pingbo had just sued the emperor in front of him, the emperor became more and more angry.

What a dare to sue!

"For the sake of a girl, fighting for the wind and being jealous, is it like words?" The emperor shook his head.

Huo Yixiao subconsciously wanted to say that he was not jealous, but he was simply not used to Ji Ji.

When the words came to his lips, his mind moved, and he changed his words: "Ji Jiu's courtship failed, first let his cousin beat Wen Yan's two younger brothers, and then bought a murderer to assassinate Wen Yan's grandmother and uncle, this person is a ruthless and vicious person, even if I didn't participate, this case would be judged like this."

I got involved because I fell in love with Wen Yan, which girl do I like, and I want to protect and help, what's wrong? ”

The emperor couldn't say that it was wrong, so he could only take a sip of tea before he stiffened his face and said, "Can't you like a trouble-free one?" There are so many things to do, and the house is restless! ”

Huo Yixiao raised his eyelids, looked directly at the emperor for a while, and then looked away.

The emperor took a deep breath: "If you have something to say, say it directly!" ”

"I can't settle down with anything I like," Huo Yixiao laughed, a little self-deprecating, "It's all stained with the imperial city, who can be at peace?" ”

Emperor: "......"

He shouldn't be allowed to "speak up"!

Whether it's straight or nonsense, it can make people angry.

Huo Yixiao stood up and said: "This case has not wronged Ji Zheng, Shun Pingbo connived at his grandson's evil, he is already untenable, and I am not afraid to confront him."

As for the law, Ji Ji should die, and the officials of the three divisions will also approve it.

Of course, if you want to open up the net, you have to tell the three divisions yourself. ”

The emperor touched his beard and said, "I just asked you to ask about the past, the evidence of the case is conclusive, why should I open the net?" ”

In particular, Shun Pingbo actually scolded him for not caring about his son, what about his face?

"Ji Ji has done a lot of evil deeds, and it doesn't matter if you didn't find out before," Huo Yixiao paused and said, "But if you catch it and release it, the people of Lin'an will scold you." ”

The emperor said angrily: "Oh? Scolding? Didn't I get scolded today? Shun Pingbo almost scolded my brain! ”

Huo Yixiao laughed, not hiding his pleasure at all.

"When the children of the Jingzhong family make trouble, when your grandfather and father come to you to plead, you don't scold them for not being able to educate," Huo Yixiao said, "You also feel it today, anyway, except for Shun Pingbo, no one else will scold them like this." You should have read a new script and participated in it yourself. ”

Emperor: "......"

He didn't want to get involved at all.
