"I am not guilty, I will not confess my guilt!"

Huo Yubai's expression was light, and he looked at Xia Zhi with a cold gaze, "Have you served me?" ”

"The slave maid is the sprinkler in the second lady's courtyard."

"Oh?" Something flashed in Huo Yu's white eyes, "I asked you to buy murderous beatings, what evidence is there?" ”

"Second Miss." Xia Zhi choked, knelt down to Huo Yubai, and hugged her legs, "The slave maid dreamed last night that the young grandmother of the Xu family came to ask for her life, and she was really scared, so she will confess you." ”

Huo Yu's face was expressionless, "Lord He, is it possible that any of my Huo family's subordinates who come to testify against me can become a witness?" ”

He Yuan pursed his lips and looked serious, "That's not the case!" Further verification is needed! ”

"My lord! What the slave said is true, it was really the second lady who instructed me! Xia Zhi choked up.

"Don't rush to convict me." Huo Yubai looked at Xia Zhi condescendingly.

"You always have to give Lord He time to find out who you are, when you entered the Huo family, how many times you have been in contact with me, where you have been in contact with in the last few days, and who you have been in contact with......

All your whereabouts must be explained clearly, so that people can trace them, and they can't talk nonsense. ”

Xia Zhi's face changed slightly.

Huo Yubai looked at He Yuan, "Lord He, may I ask, has Xia Zhi written a confession?" ”

"Written, the second lady wants to see it?"

Huo Yubai shook his head, "Don't look, on the day of Du's accident, I stayed in the mansion all the time."

Lord He can send someone to Huo Mansion and ask everyone to make a record, write down where they were that day, what they were doing, and who they were with, and write down the details as clearly as possible.

I can probably restore the situation in Huo Mansion that day, and I can also know what I was doing at that time. ”

He Yuan heard her say frankly, and he already believed her in his heart, so he immediately sent two people to Huo Mansion and four more people to Xu's house.

"Someone! Give Miss Huo Er a seat! ”

“……”

Huo Yubai sat and waited, time passed minute by minute, and he didn't wait for the transcript of Huo Mansion up and down, but waited for Ge Zhongchuan, the servant of the Criminal Department.

He Yuan was surprised, "Master Ge, why are you here?" ”

"Lord He! This official was ordered by King Jing to come to take over the case of the Xu family, and in addition, King Jing asked Jingzhao Mansion to assist the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the cause of death of Nie Rujin, the eldest lady of the Nie family. Ge Zhongchuan said in a deep voice.

"This ...... Didn't the eldest lady of the Nie family commit suicide? ”

Ge Zhongchuan's expression was complicated, "This matter is a long story, it is not a suicide, the death of Miss Nie involved the Xu family, the Nie family, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Royal Prince's Mansion.

King Jing has already sent someone to Xu's house, and everyone will make an interview.

So far, how is the case progressing? ”

The maid of the Huo family came to confess her guilt and accused Miss Huo Er of asking her to buy a murderer and beat Du Shi, the authenticity of which needs to be verified. The official is asking people to go to the Huo family to do ...... What Miss Huo Er said was a transcript, one meaning, the official was waiting for the result. He Yuan said in a deep voice.

Ge Zhongchuan glanced at Xia Zhi on the ground, and then looked at Huo Yubai who was sitting on the side, "Lord He, as a suspect, Miss Huo Er is like a guest here in you, making people see and provoke people's talk. ”

He Yuan's expression was calm, "Lord Ge, do you need this official to discuss the case with you?" ”

"It's a must! This official wants to take a look at the results of Du's autopsy! ”

"Then Lord Ge, please!"

“……”

He Yuan and Ge Zhongchuan went to the back hall together.

Huo Yubai looked at Xia Zhi who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were meaningful, "Let me guess who the master behind you is." ”

Xia Zhi looked at her in surprise, flustered, "Second Miss, what are you talking about?" ”

The corners of Huo Yu's white lips rose, and he said casually, "Six years ago, there was a traitor in my Huo family, and I used to have a suspicion, but now, there is another object of suspicion."

After all, whoever gains in the end is likely to harm me.

Yesterday, I happened to offend someone, and today, someone came to frame me, which is really a coincidence.

The Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Jingzhao Mansion jointly thoroughly investigated the cause of death of the eldest lady of the Nie family, and I don't know if it will involve the marriage between the Huo family and the Royal Prince's Mansion back then.

There is no such thing as fame, Miss Ben doesn't mind making everything public, so that people can investigate it thoroughly, find out the vicious person, and cut it with a thousand knives. ”

Xia Zhi's face turned a little pale, "The slave doesn't understand what the second lady said." ”

Huo Yubai chuckled, "It's okay if you don't understand, it's ...... The gong has just begun, and the lonely soul who died unjustly will definitely come to ask for his life......"

“……”

At noon, the official who went to the Huo family returned and brought back the records of everyone in the Huo Mansion.

He Yuan and Ge Zhongchuan took turns to carefully review all the transcripts and compare Xia Zhi's confession.

Xia Zhi claimed that after Du Shi left the Huo family, Huo Yubai instructed her to buy murder and beat people, and she left the house at 6 o'clock in the morning, and there was a record in the concierge.

learned from the records of the servants of the Huo family that before Xia Zhi left the house, she cleaned the yard with a girl named Xia Ni, and then went to the steward to ask for leave, and hurriedly left the house on the grounds that there was an urgent matter at home.

For a period of time before and after she left the house, Huo Yubai had been chatting with Huo Jiayan, Huo Xuanqing, and Huo Lingkai in the main hall, chatting about the Du family.

There are several maids and women who are waiting around.

It wasn't until lunch that Huo Yubai went back to his courtyard.

In other words, since Du Shi left the Huo family, Huo Yubai did not meet Xia Zhi, and what Xia Zhi said in his confession that he instructed her to buy the time to kill people is not right.

Xia Zhi committed perjury and was taken into custody on the spot.

Huo Yubai was innocent and left Jingzhao Mansion.

At that time, it was already a moment, Huo Yubai was hungry and planned to find a restaurant to eat, but she saw an acquaintance in a flash, it seemed to be her son......

……

Huo Yuqi woke up in the morning and found that his father was gone, so he was in a hurry.

I had breakfast with Ke Xingyi and took a carriage all the way to Shengjing.

The street was lively, and all kinds of shouts attracted Huo Yuqi, and the little guy got out of the carriage with a shout.

"Sugar gourd! Big and sweet sugar gourd! ”

"Fresh meat buns! Glance! Taste it! ”

"Sell bean paste cakes!"

“……”

"Master! I'm going to eat sugar gourds! I want to eat bean paste cake! Huo Yuqi said excitedly.

"Xiaoxiaobao, your mother doesn't allow you to eat sweets and hurt your teeth."

"My mother is not here!"

Huo Yuqi rushed to the sugar gourd, "Uncle, I want sugar ......" The words suddenly turned around, and looked at Huo Yubai who came over in surprise, "Mother?" ”

Dazzled?

Huo Yubai looked at his son, and also suspected that he was dazzled, this ...... Why did you get to Shengjing?

After Huo Yuqi came back to his senses, he ran to Huo Yubai excitedly, "Mother! Why are you here? ”

Huo Yubai squatted down and hugged his son tightly, "Why are you here?" ”

"I ......"

"Lord Wang, Your Highness is ahead."

Si Jingmo looked around and walked quickly towards Ke Xingyi, "Mr. Ke, where is Qiqi?" ”
