Zheng Changqing and the others looked at each other, His Royal Highness was obviously not the kind of person who paid attention to hypocrisy......

At this time, the palace people suddenly came in and said, "Your Highness, Lord Yin Shi of Jingzhao Mansion asks to see you." ”

Hearing this, Huo Sijin and Chu Zheng glanced at each other, and they came quite quickly.

"Let him in." Chu Zheng nodded, and the palace turned his head to pass the word.

Not long after, Jingzhao Mansion Yin walked in and respectfully saluted Chu Zheng, "Weichen Jingzhao Mansion Yin Shiyi Bin greets His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Chu Zheng raised his hand slightly, "Get up, what is the matter with Lord Shi coming to the East Palace?" ”

Lord Shi stood up straight, his gaze quickly swept for a week, and then he said what he meant, "Back to His Highness, Weichen received a report that there was a murder in the west of the city, so he took someone over to check." A middle-aged man died indoors, after an examination, it was confirmed that he was killed, and there was only one woman at the scene, Weichen interrogated the woman, but the woman said that the person was killed by Huo Changjin, the son of the Marquis of Jingbei. ”

Huo Sijin immediately stood up and said, "Lord Shi, I am Huo Changjin. I haven't killed anyone, though. ”

Lord Shi quietly looked at the prince's expression with his spare eyes, and saw that his expression was faint, unhappy or angry, as if it was not his subordinate who was accused of murder.

And the rest of the people in the East Palace also looked calm, and for a while, Lord Shi couldn't figure out which was right and which was wrong. After quickly weighing it in his heart for a moment, he said to Huo Sijin: "Huo Shizi, although you said that you didn't kill anyone, in front of the case, the evidence is the most important thing. ”

After speaking, Lord Shi saluted the crown prince Chu Zheng again, "Your Highness, can you allow Weichen to ask Huo Shizi a few questions?" ”

As the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion and the parent official of the capital, he naturally understands the big and small things in the capital very well. Although this prince of Jingbei was born in the Hou family, he was actually not liked by his father, and his real backer was His Royal Highness the Prince, and it is said that even his position as the prince helped him to get it.

This is in the East Palace again, even if the suspect is interrogated according to the rules, it must be approved by the prince. Regardless of whether the person was killed by Huo Sijin or not, face must be given enough.

"Changjin, you go to Jingzhao Mansion for a trip, since someone has identified you, you will confront her face to face."

After speaking, Chu Zheng said to Lord Shi again: "Lord Shi, according to the rules, you can come how you want, but if you do something unruly, then this palace will have to ask Lord Shi for advice." ”

The implication is that it is okay to inquire according to the rules, but it is not okay to extort confessions by torture!

Chu Zheng's tone of voice was not heavy, but Lord Shi clearly felt a strong sense of oppression, as if there was Mount Tai pressing in front of him, which made him feel afraid, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his back, and his clothes were tightly pressed against his skin.

Master Shi hurriedly shook his head: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

It seems that the rumors are true, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attaches great importance to Huo Shizi. Lord Shi thought of the people in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion again, he only felt a headache, it was the daughter of Cheng Enhou, the daughter of Cheng Enhou, the people of the East Palace, no matter how you look at it, it is the confrontation between the Yao family and His Royal Highness the Prince.

One is the queen mother's mother's family, a high-ranking and powerful relative, and the other is the prince of the East Palace, the orthodox prince of the country.

How good is that?

Lord Shi couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he could only take one step at a time.

Fortunately, the prince did not embarrass him at this time, and finally agreed to let him bring people back for interrogation.

After leaving the East Palace, Huo Sijin suddenly spoke: "Lord Shi, don't be nervous, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and he will not embarrass the adults below." ”

Rao is Huo Sijin said this, and the expression on Lord Shi's face was not very good-looking, and he smiled reluctantly, "Thank you Huo Shizi." "No matter what happens later, the bad guys are still quite cooperative.

"Actually, Lord Shi doesn't have to worry too much, just do a good job, as for the ...... next to him," Huo Sijin paused, and said with a light smile, "Your Excellency can hand over the fold and hand it over to someone who can handle this matter." ”

Hearing this, Lord Shi's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, if he really involved the Chengenhou Mansion and the East Palace, then it was not that he could solve it, he was just a small Jingzhao Mansion Yin, and he could present the matter to the front of the emperor. Presented to the emperor, then he doesn't have to be embarrassed, at most he will be reprimanded by His Majesty.

This was really a good idea, the sadness on Lord Shi's face finally faded, and he hurriedly thanked Huo Sijin, "Thank you Huo Shizi for your guidance." ”

Huo Sijin smiled slightly. Pointing out the maze? Maybe for Lord Shi, it was indeed to help him, but for Cheng Enhou, it was not a good thing. Something that could have been solved in private, but it had to be stabbed in front of the emperor, and it was for fair and honest reasons, even the queen mother was powerless.

……

Lord Shi brought Huo Sijin to the back hall of Jingzhao Mansion, and someone called Yao Qianruo. Not long after, the official walked in with Yao Qianruo.

As soon as Yao Qianruo entered the door, she saw Huo Sijin at first sight, and immediately frowned angrily, she was actually caught in prison, even if she went out, this stain still couldn't be washed away.

For Yao Qianruo's eyes full of hatred, Huo Sijin was still calm and light, and his expression did not change. She didn't take the initiative to harm her, but if Yao Qian stole the chicken by herself, who could blame her. If she hadn't been prepared, she would have been the one in prison at this moment.

Lord Shi looked at the reaction of the two of them, and it was still impossible to make a definitive conclusion about what the truth was, but in line with the principle of not offending both sides, Lord Shi was determined to handle it impartially and do his part.

"Miss Yao, you said that Huo Shizi, who killed people, do you have any evidence?" Lord Shi asked.

Yao Qianruo didn't panic, and immediately replied: "Master Shi, of course I have the evidence." I was deceived by Huo Shizi, and in addition to me, Huo Shizi and his guards entered the mansion, and my maid Chunxing knew about this. Please think about it, among the three people, who is more capable of killing, if Qian Ruo is just a weak woman, she can't compare to Huo Shizi and his guards. ”

Lord Shi's gaze swept in front of Huo Sijin, and he saw that she was also unflustered and calm.

"Chunxing is your maid, she will naturally speak for you, and her testimony is not enough as evidence." Master Shi said, "Miss Yao, you may provide other convincing evidence?" ”

If not, then what she says cannot be true.

Yao Qianruo bit the corner of her lip, Chun Xing is her person, her words may not be used as evidence, she knows this matter in her heart, but she still has a glimmer of hope, she is the young lady of Chengenhou Mansion, Lord Shi may look at this point and will not refuse.

But it failed in the end.

"My lord, when I entered the house, I didn't go through the main gate, but no one around me may not have seen it, please check carefully, and you will definitely be able to find witnesses to prove that what Qianruo said is true."

Yao Qianruo looked at Huo Sijin again, and said coldly: "Huo Shizi, you killed someone, knocked me unconscious, and then left ahead of schedule, but you have been there, you can't deny this!" ”

Even if the person present at the time was not Huo Sijin, it was a fact that he was facing Huo Sijin's face.

Huo Sijin is not without flaws, if Yao Qian bites this flaw, she doesn't believe that Huo Sijin can stay out of the matter.

Coming to this point, in fact, Yao Qianruo was naturally panicked in her heart, the plan failed, and she put herself in, she didn't know what kind of consequences she had, but no matter what, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she had to hold on firmly.

However, Huo Sijin just smiled faintly, "Miss Yao, it's better not to talk nonsense." I didn't kill anyone, and I didn't go to the place where I was killed. ”

"You ......" Yao Qian gritted her teeth angrily, "That's obviously you, I can see it clearly, it's useless for you to deny it." ”

Huo Sijin shook his head, "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

"You're playing dumb!" Yao Qianruo reprimanded sharply, "Huo Shizi, all the way there, there are many pedestrians on the road, it is impossible that no one has seen your face." ”

"Silence!" Master Shi slapped the startled wood heavily and said, "Miss Yao, above the court, pay attention to your words and deeds. What you say, the official will verify. ”

"Master Shi, don't bother." Huo Sijin raised his eyes to look at Lord Shi, and said lightly, "According to the time of the crime that Lord Shi said, I am playing chess with the three princes, and the three princes and the palace people present can testify. ”

Lord Shi was shocked, why did he involve the three princes again?
