Chapter 136 is the worst thing to know yourself

"This happened about half a month ago, according to him, the envoy said that when he was drinking in the tavern, he accidentally had an argument with someone, and when the two parties quarreled, Sun Ze passed by and learned that one of them was a relative of his family, and the two had some quarrels, but it was not serious, and after Jing Zhaoyin intervened and negotiated, the two were considered to have reconciled."

"Jing Zhaoyin has intervened, can you still say that this matter is not serious?" Shi Zhengzhi read it out according to the record in the notebook seriously, and Xiao Huai'an listened to the second half of the sentence, almost choking on a sip of tea in his mouth.

"Yes, according to the results given by Hibiscus before, there are indeed a few places on Sun Ze's body, about half a month ago, the small injuries on his back and legs, and the bruises on his back and legs have not completely dissipated until now, so it can be seen that the movement at that time should not be small."

Shi Zhengzhi looked at the indescribable expression on Xiao Huai'an's face indifferently, and by the way, he showed him the record made by Mu Hibiscus in the morning.

"In that case, where are his relatives now, and perhaps he can know whether Sun Zezai has offended other Japanese people besides having a dispute with this envoy."

"Lord Hui, the lower officials have investigated clearly." What questions Xiao Huai'an could ask, Shi Zhengzhi acted quickly, and he was ready, but in this matter, he was visibly a little hesitant and embarrassed.

"This person's name is Sun Lei, and Sun is a fellow from the same village, and later came to the capital together, Sun Ze entered the Dianke Residence with the help of Sun Cheng, and Sun Lei entered the Pingcheng Duke's Mansion as a miscellaneous housekeeper under the introduction of others."

"Later, because this person had good kung fu and a proper massage, he won the favor of the Duke of Pingcheng, and was promoted to the little guy who served him closely, so if we send someone to question, I am afraid that the Duke of Pingcheng's Mansion will not agree to cooperate so easily."

The Duke's Mansion of Pingcheng exists in name only, and now it is just holding on to the last proud heart. But if it is because the Duke's Palace is not as good as before, swaggering to the door will only have the opposite effect.

But if you want to pretend to be a faction and ask for help, Xiao Huai'an can't do it at all, and it may not be able to succeed, the Duke's Mansion is really soft and hard, and it is a loss for such a trivial matter, and it can actually have a relationship with the Duke's Palace.

Thinking about it, Xiao Huaian was also a little embarrassed and pressed his forehead with one hand, "But in any case, after all, it is more important to solve the case, this case is personally ordered by His Majesty, be sure to find out the real culprit, if you want to come to the Duke of Pingcheng's Mansion and know some seriousness, you should not deliberately stop it, or go and take a look." ”

When the words landed, Shi Zhengzhi's lips tightened, and it seemed that he was noncommittal to Xiao Huai'an's faction, but the reason was still correct, so he also summoned people to go out, lest the Duke of Pingcheng's Mansion suddenly make a fuss, and it would not be good to hurt people.

But as the saying goes, the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, even after such a long time, the Duke's Palace is declining day by day, and the momentum of their whole family is getting higher and higher.

Xiao Huai'an and Shi Zhengzhi were easily invited, and they were able to go to the front hall to meet and talk with the duke and duchess, but as soon as the two sentences were finished, the situation suddenly became tense, and the duchess's angry hands were trembling uncontrollably, waving handkerchiefs and shouting loudly.

"Someone, don't hurry up and send me off!"

Xiao Huai'an was full of helplessness, and in the face of the many little guys outside the door, he slowly opened his hands, saying that he would not do anything, otherwise these ordinary people would not be enough to deal with him.

"Duchess, please calm your anger, the lower official just came to ask about some information, and left after asking, why should Madame be so aggressive."

"You are talking nonsense, how can I hide any murderer witnesses in this Duke's Palace, I think you are deliberately here to make trouble, while I am still good to talk now, please leave first, otherwise the matter is so big, it will not end well."

As soon as she heard this, the Duchess definitely didn't understand what Xiao Huai'an said just now, and her self-esteem immediately exploded.

The Duchess and Duke of Pingcheng Zhou Wenwen sat on the main seat one on the left and the other right, and Zhou Hongyan, the county lord of Pingcheng County, also followed.

Duke Pingcheng had an indifferent attitude, and he was very leisurely and leisurely to let the things around him help massage and beat his legs, but the Duchess couldn't swallow this breath, on the surface, it looked polite, but in fact, her chest was already angry, and she had to calm down for a while after the maid Jin Zhu beside her was appeased for a while.

Xiao Huai'an and Shi Zhengzhi both felt a little embarrassed, but they didn't plan to leave so lightly, otherwise it would be too embarrassing, so they had to wait for the Duchess's attitude to ease up a little before they spoke hard.

"Madam, please calm down first, this official is not here to find trouble, but just to ask Madame to hand over Sun Lei, let's just ask a few words, why should the Duchess be angry?"

As soon as these words came out, the concubine who beat Duke Pingcheng's leg specially raised her head slightly, and glanced at the Duchess with a meaningful sneer, but because the position was too low, no one noticed it, and Duke Pingcheng hurriedly took her hand and helped persuade her with some bitterness.

"That is to say, Madame handed over the people earlier and sent them away, just leave, why bother so much?"

"Grandpa's words are light, this person is serving you closely, but now you are asking for the concubine. The concubine doesn't know that big things are turned into small things, and small things are turned into small things, if they are so easily complied with, they are afraid that they will seriously think that our Duke's Palace is such a place to hide filth. ”

As soon as the Duchess heard Zhou Wen's words, she suddenly became angry, and even took the two concubines who were serving him fiercely.

"Grandpa, this is not a good family, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, even if our house is found out to be a clean white family in the future, and someone suspected of murder has stayed in our house, this reputation will not be good."

"If Grandpa doesn't want to take care of this, then please go back and rest early, the concubine will naturally take care of everything."

As soon as these words came out, without waiting for the Duke of Pingcheng to have any opinions, the Duchess clapped her hands directly, when even if two small servants came up and prepared to change his wheelchair to go back to the courtyard for him, the county lord of Pingcheng, who was listening on the side, also preferred to help his mother speak.

"That is to say, father, it has been the mother who has been in charge of the family affairs all these years, you better go back to the hospital and enjoy the happiness, and the daughter should follow her mother to learn well."

is really a legendary filial daughter, who doesn't care about her biological father's face at all, and asks his wife to send her back in front of outsiders, and Duke Pingcheng doesn't look unhappy at all, he sighs symbolically and waves his hand, and he actually endures it like this.

Xiao Huai'an and Shi Zhengzhi, who came over today to be on business, inadvertently saw the private affairs of other people's families, and if they wanted to speak again at this time, it would only be more difficult than before.

But it's all on this, and it's still halfway, so it's really to make people laugh and be generous. Thinking about it, Xiao Huai'an just didn't see the tigers at the door, and he was afraid in his heart, and the little guy who was holding the guy's business still bowed his hand to the duchess politely.

"Madame is really a little thoughtful. Who in this city does not know that the Duke of Pingcheng's palace has been full of loyalty since the founding of the country, and who dares to say more than half a word. Maybe Madame only needs to tell me where the man's house is, and it's the same if the lower official brings someone outside to talk. ”

"Lord Xiao, although our Duke's Mansion has not stepped into the official career for a long time, it is not a person who has not experienced things, and I have been fooled by the realization that I have given you just two sentences, so please find another way to go."

Duchess Wu Jiaqian snorted coldly, after the duke left, she became comfortable and dignified, and raised her cup with great interest and took a sip of tea.

"In such a noisy situation that day, it is impossible to have to talk to him, is it not my lordship not to take my Duke's Mansion in my eyes?"

"That is to say, our Duke's Mansion is also the home of Danshu Iron Coupons, Your Majesty personally wrote a strict statement that my father can be exempted from kneeling when he enters the court, so glorious, how can you come as soon as you say. If you have to search, please ask Your Majesty to come here, otherwise our family will not be so good. ”

Zhou Hongyan is afraid that she is also relying on the Duchess to support her back, so she is so arrogant, but there should also be some genetic reasons brought out of the mother's womb, and she keeps saying that she has to ask for His Majesty's hand, and the Duchess is extremely strong because she is too worried, and the county lord is afraid that he can't recognize what the situation is in his family now.

As for the mention of exempting the duke from the bow, the duke injured his leg when he went on the expedition, is this not reasonable? That can also show the benevolence of the heavenly family and the grace of heaven.

However, the emperor can be unscrupulous and generous, and those who receive favors can't take it so seriously, and I will only end up miserable.

When the words landed, Xiao Huai'an and Shi Zhengzhi's faces were stiff, they didn't know what to say about her, they turned their eyes away, and they didn't dare to look at Zhou Hongyan again, so as not to laugh out loud.

"In that case, the lady and the county lord are hard-hearted and refuse to reveal half of the sentence."

Xiao Huai'an coughed and spoke slowly, the whole person carried an invisible coercion, the duchess was still a little hesitant, but the county lord was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and he was determined.

"So what, unless Your Majesty says it himself, none of you are qualified to touch our Duke's Palace."

"County Lord-" Shi Zhengzhi was not angry in his heart, and just wanted to say something to refute her, so he stopped Xiao Huai'an, and the county lord saw his little action, and became more and more angry.

"Since the lady and the county lord are so unwilling to cooperate, it is inconvenient for the official to bother more, so I will leave today." Xiao Huai'an held Shi Zhengzhi's arm with one hand, and the expression on his face was thoughtful. As soon as he said this, the little guys who were guarding the door also breathed a sigh of relief and retreated one after another.
