Chapter 138: Dependent on each other

Li Qing was about to continue to ask, but Hua Xiao pinched her wrist.

Li glanced at him lightly, thinking that he should have something to say, so he stopped talking for the time being.

Hua Xiao stared at He Cuo, and said coldly: "Hong Tianci, he was only six years old when the Hong family was destroyed. How did he escape with so much truth? After he died, you spent a year begging all the way to the capital, that is, you met him outside the capital, presumably that place is not close to the capital. When you were nine years old, Hong Tianci was only eleven years old, how did you meet? If he has a deep hatred, why would he risk his life to save you? ”

"yes." Shen Rufeng echoed on the side: "If it were me, even if I watched you die, I wouldn't let myself lose my life." ”

He Cuo let out a long breath, his shoulders tense, as if those past events were a burden on him.

He said: "Brother Tianci said that there was an uncle who saved him, but he didn't tell me who that uncle was, and Zhu Xin was bribed to steal the beams and pillars was told to him by that uncle." The uncle sent him out of the capital and gave him to a peasant family for adoption. That year during the drought, he was separated from the family on his way to escape the famine and met me. I gave him food, and then we begged together. ”

He lowered his head and curled his eyelids for a moment, not like he was thinking, but like he was caught in some kind of heavy thought.

After a long while, he sighed and continued: "That time, we went to the mountains to look for wild vegetables, and my foot slipped and rolled down the hillside, and he fell to save me, and somehow died. Later, I learned the craft with Zhu Xin, and I repeatedly pondered the cause of his death, he should have broken his ribs and punctured his internal organs. Before he died, he should have known that he was about to die, so he told me about their enemies. ”

"His enemy, besides Zhu Xin, who else?" Hua Xiao asked.

He was stunned and looked up at Hua Xiao suddenly.

Hua Xiao said: "Tie Niu was locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department at that time. Zhu Xin was just a trick, it was impossible for him to complete the transportation of the corpse to the prison of the Criminal Department by himself, and then steal the beams and change the pillars, and bring the iron ox out. He must have a helper, and this helper must not be an ordinary jailer. Who is this helper? Who killed Hong Ying's family? ”

"The prince is really thoughtful, you and the princess are both admired by the lowly position. If it were the two of you, you would definitely be able to help Brother Tianci avenge this blood vengeance. ”

After He Cuo finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Hua Xiao and Li three times.

Hua Xiao and Li Qing glanced at each other, and they both had a strange feeling in their hearts.

He Cuo kowtowed three times, knelt straight at Hua Xiao and Li Qing, and replied: "Zhu Xin's helper is Hong Ying's subordinate Xiang Cheng, and Hong Ying's family was killed by Tie Niu. The bodies of Hong Ying's family were also examined by Zhu Xin, and Zhu Xin took advantage of his position to make this case an unsolved case. However, Zhu Xin and Xiang Cheng are not the ultimate masterminds behind the scenes, the real enemies of the Hong family are the ones who let Zhu Xin and Xiang Cheng rescue the iron bull, and I am ashamed that I have been lurking by Zhu Xin's side for so many years, and I still haven't been able to find out this mastermind behind the scenes. ”

Li Qing's face was expressionless.

Hua Xiao frowned.

Shen Rufeng looked at He Wrong in astonishment: "Xiang Cheng? What's wrong, Xiang Cheng's case was investigated by you. ”
