"How is that possible?" Huo Sijin shook his head and chuckled, "I only promised not to pursue her for framing me, but I didn't say that the murder ended so lightly." ”

If it was over so easily, then why did she bother to work so hard with Yao Qianruo.

"So, you still have a backhand?" Zheng Changqing said with a meaningful smile. He was very curious about what Huo Sijin was secretly arranging.

However, Huo Sijin did not reveal it, just smiled slightly and did not say much.

Zheng Changqing pursed his lips, okay, he still waited to watch the show. Even if he does this, it is impossible to pass it easily, why only defend and not attack! When the people in their East Palace are easy to bully, they can't do it!

……

In fact, Zheng Changqing didn't wait too long, but two days ago, Lord Yin Shi of Jingzhao Mansion personally boarded the door of Chengenhou Mansion, and named her name and asked Miss Yao Er if she had something to ask.

Lord Shi also knew that the Chengenhou Mansion was high and powerful, even if he investigated the case according to the rules, he needed to pay more respect to the Chengenhou Mansion. Therefore, Lord Shi first handed over the post to ask to see Cheng Enhou, but he didn't say anything specific in advance, only said that he had something to see.

People are handing over posts to ask for a meeting, plus a few days ago, Lord Shi was willing to let Yao Qianruo go, and Cheng Enhou was not good at giving people a look so quickly, so he immediately ordered someone to lead Lord Shi into the flower hall, and entertained him with good tea and water.

Lord Shi was led into the flower hall, but he didn't have the intention of drinking tea, and kept stretching his head out of the door to see when Cheng Enhou would come.

Cheng Enhou was still a face-saving person, so he walked in after a while, and greeted Lord Shi with a smile, "Lord Shi, I'm glad to meet you." ”

Master Shi got up and bowed to Cheng Enhou, "Marquis Yao, the lower official took the liberty to come to the door, it was about the case a few days ago to ask the second lady of your mansion, and I also asked Hou Ye to make it convenient." ”

He doesn't play sloppy with Cheng Enhou, his arrival will inevitably make Cheng Enhou unhappy, this matter Lord Shi has already built in his heart, who said that this matter can't get by, if he doesn't come to the door at this moment, he will be unlucky in the future.

"Isn't that incident already in the past, why does Lord Shi still have to ask." Sure enough, the smile on Cheng Enhou's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a touch of displeasure.

Master Shi said with a straight face: "Master Hou, the lower official just said that there was no evidence to prove that the person was killed by Ling Qianjin, so he released the person, but this murder case is not over, and the lower official has the obligation to investigate the case clearly." Ling Qianjin is the only person present that the lower official knows, and if the lower official wants to investigate the case, he must ask a few words. ”

"The duties of the subordinate are here, please forgive Master Hou." As he spoke, Lord Shi bowed down to Cheng Enhou again, begging him not to embarrass him anymore.

Cheng Enhou had a calm face, "Miss Tanghou Mansion was involved in the murder case, how else would she behave when it was rumored?" Lord Shi, you are losing the face of my Chengenhou Mansion, how can Ben Hou forgive me. ”

The implication is that he will not agree.

Lord Shi secretly complained in his heart, and he knew that he would offend Cheng Enhou. Master Shi has heard of Cheng Enhou's character in the past few days, and this Marquis Yao is not a tolerant and generous person. However, the seriousness of the matter was beyond his expectations, even if he wanted to offend this stingy Cheng'en Hou, Lord Shi had to bite the bullet.

"Hou Ye Yao, Xia Guan also knows that the daughter of your mansion is delicate, so he sent a post to visit Hou Ye, instead of directly uploading the news in the court."

Lord Shi didn't say it explicitly, but he thought Cheng Enhou should understand the meaning of the words. It was precisely because of the face given to the Chengenhou Mansion that he did not interrogate Yao Qianruo openly, otherwise, he would directly send an official to the door, and the interrogation would be done openly, so why bother walking.

"Master Hou, since Ling Qianjin has not done anything to kill people, let the lower official ask a few words, and the lower official can guarantee that it will never have a bad impact on Miss Yao's reputation." Lord Shi almost swore by the sky.

He didn't want to offend people, especially the ungenerous Chengenhou.

Cheng Enhou's face was still not good, "Lord Shi, this is just a small case, the murderer can't be found, the case is postponed, why do you have to find out." As far as Ben Hou knows, there are a lot of large and small cases in the capital, and Lord Shi will never investigate everything clearly, right, is there no headless case? ”

It is almost clear that this matter should be over, and it should be treated as a headless case and put in the file.

Lord Shi sighed secretly, if it was an ordinary person who died, his investigation would be fruitless, and he would naturally deal with it as a headless case.

"Master Yao, this is not a small case, and the official cannot handle it as a headless case."

Cheng Enhou's face changed suddenly, "Shi Yibin, what do you mean!" ”

Lord Shi didn't answer, but just saluted Cheng'en Hou: "Please don't embarrass the Hou Ye." ”

"Tell me clearly, what's important about this case?" Cheng Enhou was also playing drums in his heart, so he didn't leak any rumors. This so-called witness was found by him to calculate the prince, and if this relationship is known, then this matter is really a bit troublesome.

Lord Shi hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Master Hou, the Criminal Department has already put pressure on it. The Criminal Department is only exerting pressure now, and if it is too late, I am afraid that it will have to take over the matter in person. ”

If the case goes to the Criminal Department, it will be even more difficult to settle down.

"Who's in the Criminal Department? Who is putting pressure on you? Cheng Enhou was expressionless, and his tone was very serious.

As for who it is, Lord Shi is naturally not easy to say, and only said vaguely, "I can't say who it is, it's just ...... Hou Ye, Xia Guan just wanted to ask Miss Yao a few words, and he didn't know what to do, and asked Hou Ye to make it convenient. ”

He stressed once again that he was only going to interrogate a few words, and he would not arrest Yao Qianruo in prison.

This time, Cheng Enhou did not obstruct it, but ordered someone to call Yao Qianruo over. In front of him, Yao Qianruo would not say anything that should not be said.

Regarding Lord Shi's question, Yao Qianruo was shocked at first, but then glanced at Cheng Enhou and slowly calmed down. At least she is now in the Chengenhou Mansion, and her father Chengenhou is sitting on it, which is better than the prison in Jingzhao Mansion, what is she afraid of.

So, Lord Shi asked and she answered, in short, she was knocked unconscious by an unknown person, as for how she got to the scene of the crime, how the person died, and who killed her, she deduced that she didn't know.

Yao Qianruo's rhetoric was no different from the rhetoric of the previous two days, Lord Shi's brows were furrowed tightly, he didn't come this time, and he didn't interrogate anything.

Seeing that almost an hour had passed, Lord Shi was impatient, and there would be no result if he continued to interrogate for another hour, so he had no choice but to leave.

As soon as Lord Shi left, Cheng Enhou immediately asked Yao Qianruo, "Did you tell Lord Shi the identity of that person?" ”

Yao Qianruo's face turned pale, and she shook her head again and again, "No, my daughter has never said anything about such a big thing, how dare my daughter say half a word." ”

Cheng Enhou didn't say much, Yao Qian was the most unlikely person to say.

"It's not you, is it Huo Changjin?" Immediately, Cheng Enhou immediately ordered people, "Come on, go and find out immediately, who is talking behind your back!" ”

Yao Qianruo bit the corner of her lip, "Father, does Lord Shi already know?" ”

"Shi Yibin should have just heard some rumors, as far as his timid and fearful personality was concerned, if he really knew, he would have found a way to transfer the case to the Criminal Department." Cheng Enhou didn't think Lord Shi knew much.

In fact, Lord Shi really didn't know that the reason why he began to pay attention to this case again was because he heard that the dead person had something to do with Bian Guan Huiyi's case. It was the prince who returned to the border to check, and the deceased was involved with the Chengenhou Mansion, both parties were high-ranking and powerful people, where did Lord Shi dare to deal with this matter with a headless case. Even if he wanted to hand over the case, he had to make an appearance to show that he had investigated it carefully and carefully, but his ability was limited and he could not find out the results......

And at this time, the East Palace

Huo Sijin listened to the announcement, nodded and said, "Lord Shi's arrival has made Cheng Enhou suspicious, and he will definitely send someone to investigate immediately." Second Brother Zheng, I want your help next. ”

Zheng Changqing had a playful expression on his face, and grinned: "Say, what's the matter, who do you want me to pretend to?" ”

Huo Sijin smiled and shook his head, "No, Second Brother Zheng, you are popular, there must always be some channels close to Cheng Enhou, if Cheng Enhou can't find anything, if necessary, ask Second Brother Zheng to quietly give him a wake-up." ”

"Hey, that's it, that's it! It's all wrapped up in your second brother Zheng, you just have to put your heart in your stomach! As he spoke, Zheng Changqing raised his hand and patted Huo Sijin's shoulder.

This scene happened to be looked at by Chu Zheng, who had just walked in, "What are you doing......

A cold voice sounded......
