Chapter 20: Face Saint
Si Jingmo's face sank, gloom flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "This king is busy investigating the case, so he doesn't have time to enter the palace!" ”
"Lord, the queen said that she wants to see His Royal Highness, and the emperor also wants to see His Royal Highness."
"Let people enter the palace to reply to the emperor, this king will bring the small hall to the saint tomorrow, and the queen doesn't have to pay attention to it."
The guard bowed, "Yes!" ”
“……”
"Daddy, are the emperor and queen your father and mother?" Huo Yuqi asked curiously.
Si Jingmo's expression became gentle, and he nodded with a smile, "Well, I'll take you to see Grandpa Huang tomorrow." ”
"Daddy, doesn't you like Grandma?"
Si Jingmo was in a complicated mood, he was really a smart and sharp child, "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that your imperial grandmother once did something sorry for me, and I don't want to see her." ”
"Oh." Huo Yuqi nodded, "Daddy, don't be sad, Grandma Huang shouldn't mean it." ”
Si Jingmo smiled gently, "Well, let's eat quickly." ”
“……”
Huo Yuqi eats obediently.
After eating, Si Jingmo took him to the Criminal Department.
At that time, it was already half a quarter in the afternoon, that is, at half past three in the afternoon.
The Xu family's case was transferred to the Criminal Department, and He Yuan also went to the Criminal Department to cooperate with the investigation.
As soon as Si Jingmo led Huo Yuqi to the Criminal Department, everyone's eyes looked at him in unison, all staring at Huo Yuqi and forgetting to salute.
"How's the case going?" Si Jingmo asked in a deep voice.
Everyone returned to their senses and hurriedly saluted, "See King Jing!" ”
"No need to be polite!"
Si Jingmo took Huo Yuqi by the hand, walked to the main seat in the hall and sat down, naturally hugged Huo Yuqi on his lap, and looked at Tang Renhua, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Ge Zhongchuan, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and Yin Heyuan, Jingzhao.
Tang Renhua said in a deep voice, "King Jing, there is a new progress on the Xu family's side, there are many people who go there, and everyone is supervised to write down what happened that day, and many suspicious points are found.
Many servants of the Xu family said that Du died not long after returning home from serious injuries.
However, when what happened within an hour of Du's return to the house, when the details were implemented, many people either did not know, or forgot, or said very vaguely, and what they said did not match each other.
Even who some girls were with, where, and what happened at that time were vague and suspicious.
Also, according to what Master He said, the Xu family sued Miss Huo Jiaer before, claiming that Du Shi was poisoned, and Miss Huo Er cleared the suspicion of poisoning on the spot, proving that the Xu family made false accusations.
Today, the maid of the Huo family suddenly ran to the mansion to accuse the second lady of buying a murderer and beating the Du family, which finally proved to be a false accusation.
Clearly, someone is trying to set the blame.
The Xu family is suspected of murder. ”
Si Jingmo's eyes were gloomy, "What do the Xu family members say?" ”
"Back to King Jing, Old Man Xu took Mrs. Xu, eldest daughter-in-law Li, and eldest grandson Xu Jiucheng to dissolve Miss Huo Er's ridiculous marriage contract, and went to Huo's house to make amends to Miss Huo Er, but he never returned.
As for the eldest lord of the Xu family, as well as the old lady in the second room, they all claimed that they were not in the house at the time and did not know the inside story.
As for the young master, I don't know the inside story. ”
Si Jingmo's face was expressionless, "Redo the interview again, sign and draw in the form of a confession." If there is lying, if the circumstances are minor, he will be sentenced to three years' imprisonment, and if he intentionally harbors the murderer, he will be sentenced to death row for the crime of intentional homicide. ”
Tang Renhua bowed his head, "The next official receives the order!" ”
"Go and inform the Xu family again, come to the Criminal Department early tomorrow morning to be reviewed, the family must all be there! On the Huo family's side, let Miss Huo Er come over early tomorrow morning to cooperate with the investigation! Si Jingmo said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
……
Seeing that it was not too early, Huo Yubai strolled back home, and when he got home, the sun had set.
The Xu family waited outside the gate of Huofu, and their faces were not good-looking.
Seeing Huo Yubai, Li Wan directly attacked, "Where have you been?" Why are you only coming back now? ”
Huo Yubai's expression was indifferent, ignoring the Xu family, going up the steps, and knocking on the door, "Open the door, it's me." ”
The porter opened the door with a respectful face, "Second Miss is finally back, and the general and his wife are preparing to ask someone to find you." ”
"I don't have to look for it, I'm just wandering around the streets, walking on the avenues, it's safe."
“……”
The porter smiled and closed the door again.
The Xu family looked at the closed door with a constipated look.
"Jiucheng, go and call the door!" Old Man Xu said in a deep voice.
Xu Jiucheng reluctantly went to knock on the door, his tone was not good, "Open the door quickly!" Let Huo Yubai come out! ”
The porter said lukewarmly from the crack in the door, "Old man Xu, the emperor asked your Xu family to apologize to our second miss, but I didn't ask you to come to find fault, just this attitude, our second miss said, no!" Can! Original! Forgive! ”
Xu Jiucheng's face was ugly, "It's just a cheap girl who doesn't know how to check, give her a little face, and serve it?" ”
"Nine Cities! How do you speak? Old Man Xu scolded.
"Grandfather, what I said is the truth, that......"
"Shut up! That's your cousin! ”
“…… I don't have such a fierce cousin who doesn't know how to lift. ”
Old Man Xu was angry, "On the contrary, even I dare to refute it!" ”
glared at Mrs. Xu, "They are all good children and grandchildren you taught!" The reputation of the Xu family has ruined you! Yu Bai refused to forgive the Xu family, and the old man divorced you! Save yourself from embarrassment! ”
"Old man......"
"Shut up! The old man went back, you have to find a way to ask for Yubai's forgiveness, otherwise don't come back! ”
Old Man Xu angrily shook his sleeves and left.
"Mother, why is grandfather facing that cheap girl?" Xu Jiucheng's face was ugly, "The emperor apologized, we are also here, what else do you want?" ”
The old lady of the Xu family and Li Wan both thought so, but the old man Xu was a family member, and they didn't dare to object.
The door suddenly opened.
Xu Jiucheng subconsciously looked over, and the red chili water poured down on his head, and the chili water entered his eyes, which hurt hotly.
"Shhh...... Yes...... Damn it......" Xu Jiucheng covered his eyes with his hands and squatted on the ground.
"Nine Cities!"
Old Madam Xu and Li Wan hurriedly walked towards him.
The porter sneered and closed the door again.
Xu Jiucheng was "injured", and the Xu family soon left.
The Huo family is happy to be pure.
……
Following.
Si Jingmo took Huo Yuqi to the court, which attracted everyone's attention.
The little guy stood among the many courtiers, not stage frightened, and his big dark and bright eyes looked around curiously.
Si Huang sat on the dragon chair, full of excitement, if it weren't for the majesty of the emperor, he would have wanted to run down and hold his grandson to study it.
His son refused to marry a wife, and suddenly a five-year-old son appeared in silence.
He couldn't believe it until he saw the child.
Now, totally convinced.
The little one, except for his eyes, was almost exactly the same as when his son was a child.
"What's your name, kid?"
Si Huang's eyes were kind, and he tried to ask in a gentle tone.
