Chapter 234: Sacrificing Yourself to Save Others

In desperation, Xiao Huaian had no choice but to turn his head and come to the study of the Criminal Department, Jin Shan was sitting in front of the desk at the moment, there were a bunch of documents on the table, I didn't know what they were, he was so anxious that he frowned.

It's just that I've only been busy for a morning, and I've already made Jinshan's image a little sharp, and even a layer of color has grown on his chin.

Xiao Huai'an was also a little dull in his heart, but he pretended to be relaxed with a smile and came forward to inquire with Jin Shan tentatively.

"Lord Jin is really a capable person who works hard, and he asked to see so many letters moved out of the Hou Mansion early this morning, but I am afraid that Lord Jin will not be able to read it alone. If Lord Jin can trust me, why don't you ask me to inspect it with you, so that I can speed it up. ”

"Okay, Master Xiao, you don't have to come here to probe my tone, don't say that these letters are you, I personally searched them, and they are not in my criminal department."

"As soon as the search was over, someone came to the palace, and those letters had already been delivered to His Majesty, Lord Xiao was really a step too late, I'm afraid the Houfu can only do this."

Your Majesty?!

Jin Shan sighed faintly, and in his flat tone, a few words occasionally appeared, but Xiao Huai'an was taken aback.

Jin Shan has always been upright, known throughout the dynasty, and never bends the law for personal gain, His Majesty cannot believe him, but now he has asked this case to be tried by Jin Shan at all, but he personally decides.

Whether His Majesty still has a little room for the Hou Mansion and wants to open up the net, or is he already afraid and wants to put the Yang family to death.

Xiao Huai'an frowned tightly locked in one place, although he worked for the emperor on weekdays, he also had a ruthless side, but he had never been as desperate as today, if he hadn't saved Yang Ruopei easily, I'm afraid that no one would let go.

But Your Majesty is like this, is it still for the sake of what happened when the former Zhongyi Marquis was born, and he is still afraid of it?

Xiao Huai'an couldn't think of any way for a while, whether it was his position or identity, he didn't have this qualification, and he was half a sentence about the emperor's order.

There was a sudden silence in the study, Jin Shan stood up with a calm face, thinking about dealing with some other cases, so as to divert his attention, but he did not expect that a wave of unsettled waves would arise again and again, and another small official hurriedly ran over from outside.

"My lord, the root cause of the plague in the city has already been settled."

"Where is it?" Jin Shan was shocked, now all over the capital, the Criminal Department, the Imperial History Yamen and the Beijing Yamen are all struggling to trace the source, so as to trace the source and solve the epidemic from the root.

Xiao Huai'an also barely had some joy in his heart, but he still unconsciously felt an ominous premonition.

"Yes, it's a mass grave on the outskirts of the city."

In Sufu, Hibiscus raised a pair of eyebrows, talking and gesturing.

"There is a small river under the mass grave that leads to various farmlands on the outskirts of the city, and the body that was drowned last time found in Yang's mansion was also buried on the mass grave by order of Fu Bo,"

"In fact, this mass grave, if the people who died accidentally, almost all of them were buried here, but it was still peaceful in the past few days, only the Yang Mansion died, and there was a light rain at night two days ago, so some people said that this disease was deliberately transmitted by the Yang Mansion."

"It's unreasonable, so many corpses are gathered together, and the place is chosen in the upper reaches of the river, even if it is not the people who died in our house, those bacteria are enough to make them sick, why should we blame it."

Su Jiao turned her head when she heard this, and a pair of thin eyebrows were tangled in one place like a twist rope, which was simply unreasonable for this statement, and she was angry and slammed her fist on the pillow again.

"Who said it wasn't, but these words were confessed by the descendants of the Yang Mansion themselves, otherwise no one would expect a drowned person to think about it."

Mu Hibiscus looked at Su Jiao's hand worriedly, glad that she didn't hammer it on the mahogany gang below, but as she said it, Su Jiao and Mu Rong were suddenly excited.

"Spies! My Yang Mansion actually has a spies! Which bastard exactly? ”

Su Jiao felt more and more angry, making her dizzy in front of her, Mu Rong hurriedly helped her, asked Diecui to help her calm down, and she helped to ask.

"Who said that, can you find out?"

"This, the people in the criminal department are very strict, and this matter is not trivial, even Liang Xin refuses to tell me, I also heard a few words from the mouths of some people who help serve tea and water."

Hibiscus shook her head, it was reasonable that she couldn't investigate such a key clue.

Su Jiao looked at her suspiciously, Mu Hibiscus swallowed her saliva, and explained to her, "Madame, don't be suspicious, this matter is definitely not a slave maid's ineffective work, but this disease has been investigated, and it was originally transmitted from Nankang,"

"In fact, there was an epidemic in the capital many years ago, and later it was because the sick people were controlled in one place, and almost all the terminally ill people died, so they slowly recovered by themselves."

"At least for now, there is no cure."

"Nankang." Su Jiao listened and muttered these two words, gradually connecting this matter with what happened to Yang Fu in her heart, but before she could think about it thoroughly, Mu Rong had already helped her explain it.

"The disease came from Nankang, and some people confessed that this disease was transmitted by the dead people of the Yang Mansion, so it is natural for people to think that the Yang Mansion has already harbored bad intentions and tried to collude with foreign countries, and then controlled the capital with the epidemic, so as to restrain His Majesty from the left and right, so that the inside and the outside can be combined."

"From this point of view, the mastermind behind the scenes is really ill-intentioned, interlocking, wanting to put the Yang Mansion to death, and there will be no day to turn over."

Mu Rong said slowly, Rao is that she has seen so many conspiracies, and she can't sigh that this serial plan is too vicious.

"However, when we saw that person at the beginning, he was obviously drowned, how could he get this disease?" Su Jiao breathed a little, pressed one hand to her chest, although she understood what had happened, she still didn't understand a lot, and remembered the stench from the wound she smelled that day, she only felt that her heart seemed to beat a beat slower.

"Could it be that he really fell down and drowned because he was seriously ill? Did someone deliberately put people with this disease in our house? ”

"Not necessarily." Mu Rong shook her head gently.

"Not to mention whether the dead man really got sick, even if it is true, he himself may not know, such a disease, as long as he touches the belongings of a person who has been sick, he can contract the same disease, and the speed of the attack may not be so fast, and he is unlikely to find out."

"Moreover, the stench leaked from the wounds on the corpse can also be formed through medicine, so just for this consideration, people can be asked to plant the crime of spreading the epidemic on the head of the Yang Mansion."

Mu Rong said simply, and the consideration was also very comprehensive, but there was no definite result, which inevitably made people a little irritable, Su Jiao thought about it carefully, and her brows were still tightly frowned.

"In that case, then this crime was still framed by someone else, and it is very likely that it was arranged by the person who took the initiative to confess to Lord Jin today, which is simply hateful,"

"But in this case, my uncle and they can also tell the truth of the matter to Lord Jin clearly, how can they be framed like this?"

When the words landed, Mu Hibiscus pursed her mouth and shrugged her shoulders slightly, not knowing how to answer, while Mu Rong sighed. "Madame forgot, what Mu Hibiscus said just now, before Yang Hou and them were imprisoned, this matter had not been reported, but it was only after the so-called criminal evidence found out was sent to the palace that this matter suddenly appeared, that is, it was decided that Yang Hou and they had no chance to defend themselves,"

"Otherwise, as long as there is a slight hint of possible false accusations, it is very likely that the matter will be reversed."

After that, Su Jiao understood what Mu Rong said, and stood up by herself with a slight turn. "In that case, uncle, they can't speak, and I'm going to say it myself, and anyway, I saw the body salvaged from the pool with my own eyes, and in any case, it's much more reliable than the hearsay people in the house,"

"I don't believe it, with witnesses to testify, I can still let this trumped-up charge be placed on my uncle's head."

Saying that, Su Jiao raised her hand and was about to go outside, Diecui hurriedly stepped forward to help her, she walked all the way out, and commanded all the way. "Mu Hibiscus, go to the car, let's go directly to the Criminal Department."

Mu Hibiscus agreed in a daze, and was about to turn around and go to the backyard to lead the horse and cart, Mu Rong was in a hurry, grabbed the person with one hand, and rushed to Su Jiao to block her way.

"Madam, you can't go, even Mrs. Su finally asked the adult to pick her back, although you have nothing to do with this matter now, but if you can't guarantee that someone will fall into the well at this time."

"What are you doing here? I'm just going to testify and say a few words, and I'm sitting upright, so why don't I be afraid of being framed by others. Even if you dare to climb my words at will, I am not afraid to confront him in court, and if I have the ability, I will come up with evidence to see whose eloquence is better than whom! ”

The anger in Su Jiao's heart burned more and more, and she stood in the shade under the eaves, her face was still flushed.

She doesn't work as a police officer or a lawyer or other way to deal with the law? But the professionalism that has been trained by the actress over the years, and the improvisation of her lines, she has never fallen behind with others.

Not to mention, this time, it is clear that his own family is the victim, but he has to be afraid of the retaliation of others, which is unbearable.

She quietly clenched her back molars, regardless of Mu Hibiscus Mu Rong's obstruction, pushed the two of them away, and forced them to go outside, that is, Mu Hibiscus was pulled by Mu Rong not to set the car, she just rented a horse on the street at random and had to go over.
