Chapter 168: Jingzhao Mansion is on trial
Today, Begonia just came to Chengwang's Mansion, and before she started to learn Aunt Li, she came and knocked on the door, saying that someone was looking for Begonia urgently. Begonia walked out and saw the people outside the door, and was a little surprised.
"Aunt Yixiu."
Yixiu ran over to Begonia. "Miss, come back with me, something happened."
The old princess behind her frowned slightly, "What's the matter?" ”
"Jin Zisong was assassinated, Huo Hanyan was seriously injured, and now all the evidence points to you, Miss. Just now, the people from Jingzhao Mansion had already been to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they were stopped by Xiangye. Miss, come back with me. ”
Yixiu's face was full of anxiety, and the speed of speech was faster than usual, which showed that she was really anxious.
"What does Jin Zisong's assassination have to do with Begonia?" The old princess didn't react for a while, and as soon as she finished speaking, Haitang sneered. "Why doesn't it matter? Everyone in the world knows that I have a grudge against Jin Zisong, and I was not easy to do when I was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now that they have left the Prime Minister's Mansion, isn't that a good time for me to start? No wonder, they had to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion overnight, no wonder. ”
"Miss, go back quickly, if others know that you are not in the house, you will be convicted of this crime."
The old princess twisted her eyebrows, "Aunt Li, let Ming Feng send the begonia back first." Call Ze'er again, I have something to explain. ”
Aunt Li nodded, and was about to go to find Mingfeng, but Haitang said, "No, I'll just go back by myself." It's Aunt Yixiu who wants to trouble you to send her over, she is not in good health, so let people take it easy. ”
After the last word was spoken, Haitang easily jumped onto the wall of Chengwang's Mansion with light skills on her toes, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Where can Yixiu wait for someone to escort here, so he has to leave in a hurry. The old princess left her behind, and Aunt Li happened to go to find Mingfeng. The old princess asked Yixiu some words, and Yixiu guarded against her, but fortunately, the old princess just asked some painless questions, and Yixiu answered calmly.
Aunt Li came from outside and whispered in the old princess's ear: "Mingfeng escorted His Royal Highness back to the second highness, the little prince was assigned by the old prince to go out to do errands, and I asked others to send her back to this old girl from the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
The old princess tightened her eyebrows, "Well, tell people to take it easy, don't scare her." ”
I saw Aunt Li make a gesture, and there was an extra secret guard in front of the three of them. The old princess and Aunt Li are accustomed to it, although Yixiu has heard of it, but this is the first time, and she almost scared her guts.
"Mother!" Xiangqiao hurriedly ran over after receiving the news, and her eyes were even redder when she saw Yixiu. When Yixiu saw her daughter, her heart was filled with guilt, and tears flowed down directly.
Xiangqiao trotted over and was about to plunge into Yixiu's arms, but Yixiu turned around again and urged the secret guard: "Aren't you going to send me back?" Hurry up, the young lady has been gone for a while. ”
"Mother!" Xiangqiao was aggrieved, and she couldn't hold back her tears.
Yixiu was embarrassed, took her daughter's hand and patted it gently, and only explained three words. "Okay."
The dark guard had already left with Yixiu, leaving only Xiangqiao standing in place covering her face and crying. The old princess shook her head, and even Aunt Li sighed.
As soon as Begonia climbed into the house through the back window, someone knocked on the door.
"Miss, Miss, are you up......"
The little girl outside shouted in a hurry, and even the door was slapped.
Haitang lazily answered, and was about to open the door, but looked down and saw that his shoes were stained with snow and some wet shoes, and he took off his shoes and threw them under the bed, changed them again, and then went to open the door.
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss, the eldest lady asked the eldest lady to go to the front hall and said, there is something wrong." ”
She nodded, "The Antechamber?" He's alone? ”
The little girl looked frightened, "The slave doesn't know." ”
When he arrived at the front hall, Huo Xing was not alone. Huo Xing's eyes narrowed when he saw Begonia, and when she walked in, he introduced her to the person sitting at the bottom of the head. "Xihua, this is Lord Jingzhao Yin Liang."
"Lord Liang."
She nodded her head in greeting.
In fact, Jing Zhaoyin's official position is useless, but the imperial court wants to set up a place in the capital where the people can avenge their grievances, but the capital is full of powerful people who are not easy to offend, and the people dare not speak out, and the Jingzhao Mansion is useless. Although Haitang's greeting is arrogant, it is also worthy of her identity as the prime minister's concubine.
Lord Liang got up and saluted back, calling her Miss Huo.
The previous Jing Zhaoyin was killed by Haitang, outsiders don't know, but there are always people in the court who know about it. Now that this Lord Liang is so polite to her, his cautious appearance makes Begonia want to laugh.
"Lord Liang is here, but is there something wrong? Daddy called me, so he said it had something to do with me? ”
Lord Liang's face straightened, "Miss Huo doesn't need to panic, the lower official just came over to ask as usual." ”
"Oh." Haitang sat down by herself, "You ask, what's the matter?" ”
She was so crisp, her eyes were clear, and she didn't seem to know anything about Jin Zisong's assassination, which made Lord Liang a little embarrassed.
"Do you know that Jin Zisong was assassinated last night." Huo Xing spoke at the right time, knowing that Haitang didn't like to hear about Huo Hanyan, so he simply didn't mention it.
Begonia raised her eyebrows, "Really?" Is the person dead? ”
Asking such a thing in front of Jing Zhaoyin, Huo Xing's face naturally didn't look good. Lord Liang answered, "Lord Jin is fine, it's just that Miss Huo Er was seriously injured in order to save Lord Jin, but she has been rescued." ”
"So what?"
Her appearance of smiling made Lord Liang's heart sink, and then looked at Huo Xing's gloomy face, and suddenly felt that this errand was not as stable as his previous sesame petty official position.
"Some people say that Lord Jin's assassination was done by Miss Huo."
"Me?" Haitang laughed back, "Who said that?" ”
This is spread outside, where does Lord Liang know who said it. Haitang sneered, "Lord Liang, there must be evidence to arrest people, you can't even tell who you are, what are you asking me again?" ”
"Xihua." Huo Xing reminded, "Lord Liang has been ordered by the emperor to come to inquire about the case, you must not be rude." You just need to tell Lord Liang where you have been since yesterday afternoon and who is the witness, and Lord Liang has his own decision. ”
This has already made trouble in the court?
Haitang looked at Huo Starling, "Daddy, don't you know where I've been since yesterday afternoon?" Let me ask in another sentence, Daddy, do you think I did this? ”
Huo Xing's eyes were heavy, and he didn't rush to answer. Haitang felt a chill in her heart, she stood up, "Let's go, Lord Liang, since the emperor asked you to question, then simply go to Jingzhao Mansion for a trial." As long as Lord Liang passes the trial, will the matter be over? If not, in the palace, in front of the palace, I can also go again. ”
Before Lord Liang could speak, Haitang had already walked straight out. Lord Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just now he didn't dare to say that he was hindering Huo Xing's face, and now Haitang himself opened his mouth to go to Jingzhao Mansion, which was the best.
hurriedly said goodbye to Huo Starling, and Lord Liang chased him out.
Huo Xing was a little helpless, and felt that her temperament was really the same as when she was young, and she couldn't hold her breath.
When she arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, Lord Jingzhao Yin Liang sat in the hall, and she was the only one in the hall. Haitang couldn't help but be curious, and asked him: "Lord Liang, why am I the only one?" ”
"Now there is only Miss Huo who is suspicious, so naturally only you will be interrogated. What's the matter, Miss Huo still has the same party? ”
Haitang clasped his hands in front of his chest and smiled coldly, "Lord Liang, this is his own territory, is he confident?" How did Lord Liang lower his voice in the Prime Minister's Mansion just now, have you forgotten? ”
Lord Liang was a little embarrassed on his face, the new official took office, and he felt that he couldn't get down in front of his subordinates, so he slapped it on the desk. "Presumptuous!"
"You can take another one and show me." Begonia's eyes swept over coldly, which actually made the back of Lord Liang's neck cold for a while.
"Miss Huo, you took the initiative to come to my Jingzhao Mansion, my Jingzhao Mansion has the rules of Jingzhao Mansion, Miss Huo, please don't be embarrassed."
"Is this called embarrassment?" Haitang sneered, "Since you are trying the case, why do you only try me?" Huo Hanyan was seriously injured, but Jin Zisong was not dead, why couldn't he come? You say that I found someone to assassinate him, but I can't produce evidence, so let him come and confront him face to face. ”
Lord Liang seemed to be in a dilemma, and he couldn't think of a way to say it.
I only heard Haitang ask in a cold voice, "Lord Liang, what do you mean by this?" didn't let Jin Zisong come over to confront me, and only tried me alone, and said that I had a comrade. Heh, Lord Liang, this is a bite to determine that I am guilty? ”
She turned around angrily and walked out, and Lord Liang stared at her and asked someone to take her down. She paused and turned to look at the Liang-sama. "Lord Liang, are you sure you can stop me?"
Lord Liang chuckled in his heart. The one in front of her is Huo Xing's biological daughter, and she is the former princess Cheng, and now she is involved in the relationship between the little prince and the son of the Fu family, and her identity is not easy to offend. But Jin Zisong is a three-grade imperial historian and an official of the imperial court, and now that the New Year is approaching, many things are still waiting for the three-grade imperial historian to be busy, and it is an order from the emperor himself, which is even more difficult to offend.
For a while, Lord Liang had no idea, what kind of way could everyone be happy.
"Since Lord Liang can't be tried, forget it, I'll find someone who can judge it."
The adults in her family didn't speak, and no one dared to stop her. Haitang walked out of the gate of Jingzhao Mansion so openly, and went straight to Jin Zisong's Sanpin Imperial History Mansion.
Jin Zisong is the identity of the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the mansion was not newly built, but after he entered the court as an official, he used someone else's old mansion to renovate and hang a plaque, and there were usually only a few servants, and it was deserted. Now Begonia is standing at this gate, and a group of people watching the excitement came in an instant.
"Is this really the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion? The former princess? ”
"It's really amazing, I only assassinated last night, and now I'm coming to the door again? Is this too much of a fuss? ”
"What do you know, people have the support of the Prime Minister behind them."
"Ouch, poor Miss Huo Er, she was bullied into going out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she was found here to continue bullying."
