When Huo Yubai and Si Jingmo arrived at Xun's house, it was noon, and the Xun family didn't eat lunch, and they didn't eat either.

After some conversation, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

After having dinner at Xun's house, Si Jingmo and Huo Yubai left through the back door.

This trip to Xun's house has gained a lot, and Xun Yiyun's case has a direction for investigation.

However, as I told the Xun family, it is difficult to have definite evidence just to guess who the murderer is.

After all, Xun Yiyun has been buried for more than a year, and there is no autopsy, and there is no physical evidence to prove the murderer's guilt.

As for the witnesses, it can basically be said that there are none.

If the murderer refuses to admit to the crime, everything is just a guess, although it is 90% likely to be true.

In the carriage, Huo Yubai leaned on Si Jingmo, "I don't know what secret Xun Yiyun discovered about Nie Ruyi, which caused the murder." ”

"That little girl is indeed a bit nosy." Si Jingmo sighed and said, if you go to a killer, isn't it killing yourself.

Huo Yubai sighed, "Even if it's nosy, it's not ...... Xun Yiyun was killed on the way back from Huguo Temple, and what she found in Nie Ruyi was probably not a little secret, so Nie Ruyi was in such a hurry to get rid of her. ”

"The man is dead, and we have no way of knowing the secrets she discovered."

Huo Yubai was in a complicated mood, "First the former Nie Rujin, then Xun Yiyun, if Xun Yiyun found Nie Ruyi's secret and was killed, but what about me?" It's really muddled dead.

I still don't know why Nie Ruyi wants to harm me.

Maybe I inadvertently said something wrong and offended her, but she shouldn't have done something to me?

If one person offends another, the other party wants to kill him, and the world must not be chaotic? I really can't understand Nie Ruyi, she looks like a numb neurosis. ”

Si Jingmo hugged Huo Yubai tightly, "If you are not a fellow traveler, you naturally can't understand her thoughts." For those who are insensitive, if you talk to her about human nature, morality, and law, it is all in vain, and you can only get rid of her. ”

"Yes, we can only get rid of her, today is the eighth day of the eighth month of August, and when she goes to the Huguo Temple on the tenth day of the first month of August, should we start? Or do you want to wait for Gan Chenyan to investigate clearly before starting? ”

"This king wants to wait for her to go to Huguo Temple to start." Si Jingmo said in a deep voice.

Regardless of whether Gan Chenyan's investigation results are or not, it cannot change the fact that Nie Ruyi killed Nie Rujin.

Nie Ruyi damn it!

……

When Huo Yubai and Si Jingmo returned to King Jing's Mansion, it was almost dark.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw the housekeeper greet him, with a somewhat solemn expression, glanced at Huo Yubai, and bowed his head respectfully.

"Lord Wang, there are more rumors in the city today that are unfavorable to Miss Huo Er."

Si Jingmo's eyes sank, and he took Huo Yubai's hand, "Enter the mansion and say!" ”

“……”

Went to the main hall.

Si Jingmo and Huo Yubai sat on the main seat.

The housekeeper respectfully reported, "Lord Wang, at about noon, there was a rumor on the street, saying that Miss Huo Er was actually the eldest lady of the Nie family at the beginning, saying that the eldest lady of the Nie family did not die, but occupied Miss Huo Er's body and returned to the sun. ”

Si Jingmo's face was instantly gloomy, and needless to say, he knew who released the news.

"Lord Wang, in the afternoon, the news has spread throughout Shengjing, the old slave originally wanted to suppress the news, but he didn't expect it to ......"

"What didn't you expect?"

"Some people say that the prince knows the truth and also shields the eldest lady of the Nie family who occupies the magpie's nest.

said that on the day of the Begonia Garden Poetry Meeting on July 14, Miss Huo Er's makeup, words and deeds were similar to that of Miss Nie's, and she also played Miss Nie's best "Dream Song".

said that after that day, the prince ordered that no one should be allowed to talk about the matter of Begonia Garden, which was intended to shield Miss Nie.

Now that things are spreading, the matter of Begonia Garden has basically been poked out, and the world is talking about whether Miss Huo Er is Miss Nie or not. ”

Si Jingmo's face sank terribly, the things that he suppressed could still be poked out, and those people ignored his orders!

"Check it out! Find out who is behind the release of the news! Find out who first spread the news of Begonia Garden! ”

"The old slave has already ordered someone to check, and there is no news for the time being."

"Stand down!"

The housekeeper leaves.

Huo Yubai sneered, "This Nie Ruyi, before I started to make a move on her, she couldn't bear it anymore." ”

"Be patient and wait for the changes." Si Jingmo said, his face serious, "At this time, we don't make any response, we will first find out the people who manipulate everything behind the scenes, and hand them over to the government to deal with." ”

Huo Yubai nodded, "I didn't want to respond, I've endured so many gossips over the years, and now this is nothing."

People can't guess that I am Nie Rujin, so they can confirm the fact that I am Nie Rujin. ”

As long as she doesn't admit it herself, no one can prove that she is Nie Rujin.

You can't find a Taoist priest to catch ghosts, right?

She's not a ghost either!

Si Jingmo smiled and clenched Huo Yubai's hand, "It's a good thing to have a good attitude, you are Huo Yubai, the unique Huo Yubai." ”

Huo Yubai smiled, "Of course, I must be unique, and there is no second me in the world." ”

"After a day of tossing, are you tired?" Si Jingmo asked.

"I'm not tired, but I've been sitting in the carriage for a long time and I'm sleepy."

Si Jingmo smiled, "After dinner first, I'll send you back to the house, and rest early after returning home." ”

"yes, okay."

“……”

The rumors on the street did not affect Huo Yubai and Si Jingmo, and the two of them did whatever they had to do.

Later, Si Jingmo sent Huo Yubai home.

The Huo family, on their part, didn't take the rumors seriously.

Because when Huo Lifeng and Huo Lingxuan were in the palace before, Nie Ruyi told Si Huang that Huo Yubai might be Nie Rujin's matter, so in the eyes of the Huo family, the rumors on the street were that Nie Ruyi failed to frame him once, and he framed him for the second time.

The Huo family didn't take it seriously, and they didn't bother to explain and refute.

Early the next morning, when Si Jingmo went to the court, a minister mentioned the rumors of the previous day.

Huo Lifeng blackened his face on the spot, and only gave one sentence, "Rumors stop at the wise!" ”

As for Si Jingmo, he was quite calm, and only said, "Everything is still under investigation, and the person who will find out the gossip and frame the future princess." ”

Si Huang believed that Nie Ruyi was playing behind his back, and he didn't say much except anger.

It was rumored that it only stirred up a thousand waves among the people, and there was a little splash in the court, and it soon fell silent.

Si Jingmo returned home, and the secret guard came to report and found the source of the rumor - the Xu family!

That is, Huo Yubai's maternal grandfather's family.
