Xiao Shaobei didn't know what was happening in the Yuan Mansion, he had already come to the Zuo Xiang Mansion.

Yesterday, Duan came to the door flawlessly, and today there is another Xiao Shaobei, and they all came with government soldiers, although they did not let the officers and soldiers enter the house, but it also gave Murong Kai a headache, could it be true that his Zuo Xiang's Mansion was a teahouse to rest on the roadside!

Xiao Shaobei inherited the position of marquis, and Murong Kai had to greet him with courtesy.

The housekeeper took Xiao Shaobei to the main hall, and Murong Kai was sitting on the main seat, and when he saw him come in, he got up to greet him.

Xiao Shaobei was polite, stepped forward and bowed: "Shaobei has seen Lord Zuo Xiang." ”

"There's no need to be polite, I don't know if the little marquis is here, what's the so-called matter?" Murong Kai said, "I didn't pay a visit in advance, but it really surprised the old man." ”

Xiao Shaobei's face was calm, even if he was dealing with a figure like Murong Kai who had been in the officialdom for a long time, his displeasure could not make Xiao Shaobei's mood change.

The servant stepped forward with tea and placed it on the table beside him.

Murong Kai stretched out his hand and motioned for Xiao Shaobei to sit down.

Xiao Shaobei was not polite, and said straight to the point: "Ben Hou came here this time for the affairs of the Yuan Mansion, and I hope that Xiang Ye can hand over the murderer." ”

Murong Kai's hand was stunned, slightly stunned, yesterday Duan Wufang came to investigate the case, saying that the murderer was in Murong Mansion, he didn't take it to heart, but today Xiao Shaobei came to the door, and he opened his mouth to take people, could it be that there was something he didn't know?

He looked at Xiao Shaobei and said, "Little Hou Ye, don't wronged people, our Murong Mansion and Yuan Mansion have never had anything to do with it, how can we have anything to do with this case? Not to mention that this matter should not have much to do with Dingbei Hou Mansion, could it be that Duan Shaoqing couldn't find evidence, so he asked you to come and search?"

"Ben Hou is different from Duan Wufang, he is just guessing, but Ben Hou has evidence in his hands. Xiao Shaobei said, "In order to leave some dignity for the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, I don't go through the government first." ”

Murong Kai's eyes had already darkened, Xiao Shaobei was so determined, it didn't look like he was lying, but it made him a little shocked.

He calmed down and asked, "Master Hou said that the murderer is hiding in my mansion, then please tell me who the murderer is, and why he used the dead to murder General Yuan's family." ”

Xiao Shaobei raised his eyes and looked at him: "It's the eldest lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Murong Yixue." ”

"Xiao Shaobei, there must be a degree of joking, how could my daughter be the murderer of the Yuan Mansion!

Xiao Shaobei sneered, very sarcastic.

"If you're just here to entertain the old man, that's too much of a joke. Murong Kai said, "Yixue has always been steady and kind-hearted, my daughter, I naturally know what kind of person she is!"

Xiao Shaobei listened to Murong Kai's words, but did not refute, but just said: "Since Xiangye is so determined, it is better to ask Miss Murong to come out and confront him." ”

Murong Kai snorted coldly: "My daughter, how can you just ask questions!"

In fact, he had gradually had some doubts in his heart, after all, Murong Hao had said the same thing after Duan Wufang left yesterday.

He had to shake up a little, maybe there was something hidden in this.

Xiao Shaobei didn't have so much time for him to think about it, and his cold eyes flashed with coldness: "Ben Hou has made it very clear, this time I came here to be entrusted by Miss Yuan to give the Prime Minister a decent look, if Xiang Ye has such an attitude, we have to hand over all the evidence to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and then it will not be such a simple matter of confrontation." Duan Wufang's method of adjudicating the case, even those trained dead soldiers may not be able to stop it, let alone the female relatives in the prime minister's mansion. ”

His tone was cold, and there was no room for negotiation.

Either call people out now, or go the way of the government.

If it is really as Xiao Shaobei said, then the Prime Minister will inevitably be implicated, even if the emperor is extraordinarily gracious, he can still give him a heavy blow.

Murong Kai looked at Xiao Shaobei with heavy eyes, his face turned blue.

"Someone, go and invite the eldest lady over. Murong Kai chose to compromise, and he could only choose this path.

Because he wasn't sure the ins and outs of this matter, even if it was a confrontation, if Murong Yixue refuted it, he would still believe his daughter.

Xiao Shaobei said: "By the way, please invite Mrs. Murong over, anyway, it's all a family matter, and Madam needs to know." ”

The cronies standing at the door were slightly stunned, looked at Murong Kai, and waited for his order.

Murong Kai glanced at Xiao Shaobei, then waved his hand at the little guy, did not refute, and signaled to do what Xiao Shaobei said.

"If the little marquis deliberately makes things difficult for our Murong Mansion, this prime minister is not the kind of person who is bullied. He snorted coldly, and sat back down on the throne.

He has never had anything to do with the Marquis of Dingbei, he admires the old marquis Xiao Jifeng, but he also knows that the emperor is quite jealous of Xiao Jifeng, so he didn't get too close, but he didn't expect that since the death of the old marquis, Xiao Shaobei has changed his personality, and he is a lot angry.

It didn't take long for Murong Yixue and Mrs. Murong to come to the main hall, and Murong Hao also rushed to hear the news, but they didn't know the purpose of Xiao Shaobei's trip.

"Marquis Xiao. Mrs. Murong sat on the seat next to Murong Kai and looked at Xiao Shaobei, "I don't know what happened when Marquis Xiao came to the door today?"

Murong Yixue looked at Xiao Shaobei and felt a little apprehensive.

She knew that the person who saved Yuanfu that day was the person who Dingbei Hou.

Sure enough, Xiao Shaobei looked at Murong Yixue with a smile in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Ben Hou is here for the affairs of the Yuan Mansion, Miss Murong should know what she has done, right?"

Murong Yixue's face turned pale, her blood faded, a look of weakness flashed in her eyes, she turned her head away, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

"Miss Murong kept dead soldiers in captivity, intending to murder the top and bottom of the Yuan Mansion, could it be that she still thought that she was doing it seamlessly, and she could hide it from the world?" Xiao Shaobei got straight to the point, and didn't plan to talk to her too much.

Murong Yixue's legs were weak, but when she thought that those dead soldiers had already committed suicide by poisoning, and only the last one should have left Chang'an, it was absolutely impossible for them to get the evidence!

Trying to calm herself, she retorted, "I haven't done anything like this. ”

Even Mrs. Murong, who was on the side, said: "Marquis Xiao, you can be charged with this crime too much! We Yi Xue is a young lady in the boudoir, a noble daughter of a family, how could she do such a thing!"

Xiao Shaobei said: "Mrs. Murong, you should first find out if she is Murong Yixue." ”

"What?" Mrs. Murong only felt ridiculous when she heard Xiao Shaobei's words, "How could I not know the daughter I conceived and gave birth to in October." ”

Murong Hao's eyes also sank, but he didn't speak.

"Miss Murong, are you planning to let Ben Hou's people do this?" Xiao Shaobei said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to speak and justify." ”

Murong Yixue bit her lip and did not speak.

And Murong Kai, who was sitting on the main seat, kept looking at her daughter, seeing her heart in her eyes, her heart was full of horror, how could her daughter harm people?

Xiao Shaobei clapped his hands, and a cronie who was guarding outside the main hall walked in and saluted him: "Master Hou." ”

"You are eloquent, tell a story to the people of Murong Mansion, starting from fifteen years ago. Xiao Shaobei sat on the side of the seat, picked up the tea on the table, lifted the lid and blew it gently, and the entrance was fragrant.

His cronies bowed their heads, answered yes, and then stood in the center of the main hall, and told the story concisely and concisely.

"Fifteen years ago, a snowy night, pregnant Mrs. Hubu Shangshu suddenly had a sign of giving birth, because the snow was too heavy, the people in the house hurriedly invited the nearby midwife Feng, the year is approaching, the then Hubu Shangshu Murong was busy for the affairs of the court, so that his wife was out to investigate the case on the day of delivery, and the old lady in the house was sick again, and for a while, there were few people on Mrs. Shangshu's side. ”

Mrs. Murong was also slightly stunned when she heard that the guard said that it was what happened back then, but she didn't expect them to know what happened back then, her eyes became hesitant, but she didn't interrupt, he wanted to see what tricks this person could say.

The guard continued: "Although it was very difficult, but Mrs. Shangshu still gave birth to a daughter, the grandmother and maid around her were very happy, just holding the eldest lady who was born and planning to clean, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Shangshu, who was exhausted at this time, then gave birth to a daughter, when only the midwife Feng was present in the room, knowing that Mrs. Shangshu was a twin, so she hurriedly helped deliver the baby, and Mrs. Shangshu had exhausted her strength and fainted when she gave birth to her second daughter. ”

"Two ......" When Mrs. Murong heard this, her whole face changed.

She did remember that she had given birth to two daughters, but when she woke up, there was only one, and people said that she was confused and misremembered.

And what about her other daughter?

But when the second young lady was born, Feng was frightened, because the fetus was not breathing, did not cry or make trouble, and looked like a stillborn fetus. Thinking of the high-ranking family of Shangshu Mansion, she is just a little midwife, these twins are dead and alive, it is really unreasonable, and the blame may be put on her head, as soon as he thought of this, Feng Shi got up with his thoughts, hurriedly wrapped the fetus in a towel, put it in a basket, took the silver money from the grandmother, and hurriedly went out of the Murong Mansion. ”

Mrs. Murong's whole body was paralyzed, her heart was like a knife, and she said in disbelief: "My child ......"

"Mother. Murong Hao stepped forward and hugged his mother.

Murong Yixue shook her head violently: "It's not like this, it can't be like this......"

Xiao Shaobei's subordinates turned a blind eye to their reactions, and continued: "When the Feng family left the Shangshu Mansion, they originally wanted to throw the newborn baby in a secluded place, after all, it was snowing heavily, and there were few people going out, so no one could see her actions. But just as she was about to throw away the basket, the sound of a baby crying came from the basket, and it turned out that the child was not stillborn......
