Zhaohui tried his best to stabilize his breath, Rao is heart was so uncomfortable that he almost fainted, and his face was cold to Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

"I don't know what the adults said, has anything to do with Mother Xu's murder? If I can help adults solve the case, even if I don't know the truth, I will try my best to help adults investigate clearly, but if adults take the opportunity to blame, I won't carry this pot. ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked at him slightly, and glanced at the maid behind Zhaohui.

"What's your name?"

The maid immediately said, "Slave and maid Hongxing." ”

"How long have you been in Pingyang Hou's Mansion?"

"One year."

"Before the nine princesses left the pavilion, what was the name of the courtyard where they lived in the mansion?"

Red Apricot ......

Belch......

How do I know!

Silently, he stretched out his hand and twisted Zhaohui again.

Zhaohui ......

A spirit of excitement looked at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, "What the Lord is asking, does it have anything to do with the case?" I have reason to suspect that the Lord is using words to lure my handmaiden. ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department glanced at Hongxing with a smile, and then turned to Zhaohui and said: "There is Mrs. Lao, but the interrogation has not yet ended, and Mrs. Lao will be in the study courtyard for a while, and wait for the official to finish the investigation of the maids in the mansion before making a decision." ”

Zhaohui looked at the criminal department Shangshu in surprise.

I don't understand what he means.

The secretary of the criminal department turned his head to the official at the door and said, "Please come in next." ”

The door of the study was creaked open, and Zhaohui glanced at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and exited.

In the courtyard, the old lady had already heard the news and rushed over, and when she saw Zhaohui coming out, she immediately greeted her.

"How? You okay? ”

The old lady looked at Zhaohui with concern.

Zhaohui's eyebrows were gloomy and he looked at Su Yun who was standing on one side, "Of course I'm fine, if there's something, it's the real murderer." ”

Although the Criminal Department is still investigating, she already has the answer in her heart.

It was Su Yun who killed Xu's mother.

At that time, Su Yun mentioned it to her, and she rejected Su Yun, she should be vigilant.

Clutching the handkerchief, Chaohui hated to rush over and slap Su Yun.

But she couldn't.

At this time, what matters is not that she is settling accounts with Su Yun, but that Su Yun hurriedly finds the one who is responsible!

Pinching the handkerchief in his hand, Zhaohui said to Su Yun: "Master, have you arranged everything?" ”

Su Yun's eyelids jumped, "What arrangements are not arranged, the criminal department Shangshu asked, whoever he wants to ask, I will call whoever comes over, why arrange it!" ”

As he spoke, Su Yun avoided Chaohui's gaze.

The old lady looked at the wrong thing between Su Yun and Zhaohui, and looked at Su Yun with a frown, "What have you done to be sorry for your daughter-in-law!" ”

As he spoke, the cane in his hand was about to be knocked towards Su Yun.

On the side, Mother Li hurriedly tugged at her sleeve and coughed lowly.

The old lady didn't smash the crutches over.

Su Yun said angrily: "Mother, this is too partial, what do you mean by me bullying her, I was worried about lard before, it was me who was wrong, but I have changed, how can I still bully her, I have wronged me, what good is it for you, I am your own son, do you still expect your eldest brother to provide for you in the future!" ”

Su Yun's words were said suddenly.

The old lady's heart twitched fiercely, her eyes trembled slightly, and she looked at Su Yun with a sharp coldness like ice needles in her eyes.

Su Yun didn't flicker his eyes, but greeted him with confidence, his eyes were impressive: I know everything!

The old lady couldn't help but stumble at her feet.

Zhaohui stood beside him, looking at them suspiciously.

What do these two men say, what do they mean?

Why can't the eldest brother provide for the old lady.

Moreover, isn't the old lady now providing for the elderly?

Isn't it just relying on the eldest brother to support the elderly?

Three people, with different thoughts, stood there, silent for a while.

In the study, one after another the maids went in and out.

About half an hour later, the criminal department Shangshu walked out of the house.

The three of them hurriedly greeted him.

"But there's a result?" The old lady was the first to speak, and her eyes were very anxious.

For the elderly, the criminal department is still very polite.

raised his fist and made a junior salute, and turned to look at Chaohui.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, the second lady of the house and the maidservant in front of her are the most suspicious, and according to the judicial procedure, they need to be escorted to the criminal department for further interrogation."

As soon as these words came out, the old lady's face suddenly turned blue.

pulled Zhaohui behind him, glaring angrily at Shangshu of the Criminal Department, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

In the face of the old lady's instantaneous ferocity, the criminal department Shangshu had a gentle attitude.

"Old lady, the lower officials handle the case impartially, and the old lady forgive me."

The old lady had a dark face, and her eyes were full of raging anger, "I don't forgive me!" Today, the old body will never let people take Zhaohui away! Even if you don't look at the face of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, the queen mother in the palace, why do you eat sin? ”

The ...... of the Criminal Department

I just arrested people because I looked at the face of the Pingyang Hou Mansion!

After all, the emperor has already taken out the Pingyang Hou family.

Let me arrest people, it's His Royal Highness the Nine!

Behind the Nine Highnesses, there are the Nine Princesses, Su Qing!

I can't afford to offend the Queen Mother!

But I can't afford to offend Su Qing!

The Queen Mother has not shown up for a long time since she was sick, and besides, even if she shows up, now that there is no Zhenguo Mansion, the Queen Mother will not have much influence on the emperor.

But Su Qing is different.

She doesn't have to affect the emperor at all, one meal is enough!

Who can stand it.

Up to now, when he was in the former Ministry of Rites, Su Qing rolled up the five princes with a whip and threw them out without saying a word, and he remembered it deeply.

Even the prince dared to throw it, and after throwing it, he didn't see His Royal Highness let out a fart.

What else would she not dare!

And also......

After all, the official is selfless!

With a stiff back, Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked iron-faced and selfless, "This official investigates the case, and I hope that the old lady will not disturb official business, otherwise, this official will risk offending Pingyang Hou and arrest you." ”

After speaking, Shang Shuyi of the Criminal Department raised his hand, "Take people away!" ”

Behind him, the official stepped forward immediately.

The old lady trembled angrily, her face darkened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Are you threatening me?" The four big characters of Pingyang Houfu were trampled on by you like this? My son is bloody on the battlefield, and he has made a lot of achievements, and my granddaughter is now pregnant and still fighting disasters in northern Xiangbei, and life and death are uncertain, but you take advantage of their absence to bully me like this, the old and weak women and children of the Pingyang Hou Mansion? ”

The old lady's voice was poignant.

The corner of Shangshu's eyes twitched.

At this time, you know that your son has made a lot of achievements in the bloody battlefield?

At this time, I knew that the ninth princess was pregnant and still fighting the disaster in northern Xiangbei?

At this time, do you know to pull out the two capable people in your house as shields?

How did I hear that you speak harshly to the Hou family's family every day!

Although Su Yun's character is not good, he has been in the officialdom for many years.

Today's events, he has seen some of the doorways.

Even if he didn't look at the queen mother in the palace, just looking at his eldest brother's face and Su Qing's face, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department would not come to arrest people.

Unless, get the meaning of the above.

Could it be that the emperor gave permission?

Su Yun shook his head in his heart.

Impossible, the eldest brother has always been filial, and the emperor knows it.

The eldest brother is fighting in the front, and it is impossible for the emperor to acquiesce to the criminal department Shangshu arresting his family behind his back.

It's not the big brother, that's Su Qing......

No matter what it is, the book of the Criminal Department is like this, and it is clearly inevitable.

If the stalemate continues, it will only make the Pingyang Hou Mansion lose face even more.
