"I heard that Lord Xiao is missing two very important witnesses in his investigation!" Xu Junze looked at Xiao Chen straight to the point and said, while picking up the wine glass in front of him and taking a sip slowly.

Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, but his tone was also unhurried and asked: "There are many cases to be investigated by the Criminal Department, I don't know which case General Xu is talking about?" ”

"Liang Shunzhong, and-Ren Yong!" Xu Junze said two names, then drank all the remaining wine in the cup, and then looked at Xiao Chen with sharp eyes.

Xiao Chen's expression also became fierce, the Criminal Department has been looking for the whereabouts of these two people for this time, but there have been no clues for a long time, could it be that these two people are in Xu Junze's hands? !

Lei Zhanpeng was also stunned when he heard Xu Junze's words on the side, he had also heard a little about the case investigated by the Criminal Department, and now many people suspect that King Ling is related to the lost treasures of the Ren family, even Chen Yanzhi, Qing Wangye and Fang Lao Yushi, who investigated the case together, are all in everyone's suspicion, and everyone is guessing who hid those treasures.

"General Xu knows where these two people are?" Xiao Chen stared at Xu Junze's face and asked.

"Yes!" Xu Junze didn't deny it, and then said, "I can hand over these two people to Lord Xiao, but Lord Xiao must also understand that there are many people who want their lives now, with Lord Xiao's ability, can I protect their safety?" ”

"This General Xu doesn't have to worry, it is the duty of the Criminal Department to protect the witness, and it is the responsibility of the subordinates, I, Xiao Chen, use my life as a guarantee, and I will definitely not let them have an accident before the case is cleared." Xiao Chen's tone was firm and said without hesitation.

"I believe that Lord Xiao will do what he says, but I hope you can re-investigate the old case, not only the case of the Fang family, but also the case of the Ren family, and it must be investigated clearly." Xu Junze said his request.

Lei Zhanpeng looked at Xu Junze with a puzzled expression and asked, "Re-investigation of the old case?" Why is that? The Ren family's case was closed a few years ago, reselling iron ore is a big crime full of beheadings, and it is also the holy decree of the current saints, if the old case is re-examined, it is questioning the original decision of the saint, and the saint will not allow it. ”

Although Lei Zhanpeng doesn't know why Xu Junze wants Xiao Chen's old case to be re-investigated, this matter will never work, isn't this going to slap the emperor's face! Even if the emperor and Xu Junze are like brothers again, he is afraid that he will not allow things that damage the face of the monarch of a country.

"I know!" Xu Junze replied in a deep voice, but for the sake of the people who died in vain in the Ren family, and for Xu Minghan to be able to say his identity openly in the future, this matter is imperative.

Xiao Chen looked at Xu Junze silently, he knew more clearly than Lei Zhanpeng why Xu Junze had to re-investigate the old case, he had already found out the relationship between Xu Junze and Ren Ying, the eldest young master of the Ren family, and more or less guessed the identity of Xu Minghan, the third young master of the Xu family, he asked people to secretly check the bones of the child who fell off the cliff back then, and it has been confirmed that the actual age of the skeleton does not match the little young master of the Ren family.

Not only that, in the investigation of the case of Fang Lao Yushi and the Nine Golden Pagodas, he found out the case within the case, and unexpectedly learned that the Ren family's sale of iron ore had another hidden secret, and it was more like someone framed him.

Now it seems that Xu Junze should also know these things, so he wants to overturn the case for the Ren family, of course, it is also to protect himself, after all, once the crime of harboring the criminals of the Ren family for many years is stabbed, he and the children he adopted and Lin Shuran will be implicated.

"It is my duty to find out the truth, as long as there is a problem with the Ren family's old case, I am duty-bound!" As long as there is an unjust, false and wrongful case that Xiao Chen encounters, he will not back down when he encounters any difficulties, he must find out the truth and avenge the wrongs of the bitter master.

Lei Zhanpeng didn't want to hit Xiao Chen's confidence, but he still said: "Lord Xiao, even if you all want to re-investigate the old case, but the saint may not be able to allow it, do you know that a few years ago, the Marquis of Wu'an led the army and the three princes of the Xia State fought on the frontier, and most of the military resources required came from the Ren family's property confiscated by the imperial court. ”

Of course Xiao Chen knew this, because Gu Jingcheng was killed in this battle, and he had thought of Lei Zhanpeng's words, and even when he investigated the case of the Ren family, he had a bold guess, thinking about whether it would be the emperor who led all this behind the scenes.

"I believe in the emperor!" Xu Junze's eyes were resolute, his tone was confident and resolute, and he heard that Lei Zhanpeng and Xiao Chen both looked at him at the same time, and both of them felt his absolute trust in the emperor in his expression and tone, "I will talk about this matter with the emperor personally!" ”

Xu Junze said this, Lei Zhanpeng and Xiao Chen didn't express anything, they also understood that things were definitely not as easy as Xu Junze said, they all said that the emperor's heart is like a tiger, and a courtier like Xu Junze who absolutely trusts the emperor is rare in the world.

And in front of the Huaxiang Building on the bank of the Qiushui River here, the crowd also became more agitated, and some people shouted: "The Oiran lady has come out!" ”

In the light gauze curtain, a pair of delicate and white green jade fingers slightly lifted the corner of the veil, and then a breeze blew, and then a bewitching figure appeared in front of everyone, the charming purple dress revealed the woman's bumpy figure, and a red cinnabar foxtail flower on her forehead lined her with more white skin like snow, and the country and the city.

"Beautiful, really beautiful!" On this day, many men in the capital lost their souls in Huaxianglou.

However, the Oiran lady White Frost glanced very gloomyly in the direction of the Ascending Tower, but the person she was most expecting did not come.

It's almost the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye, Lin Shuran remembered the accident that happened last year when she watched the lanterns in Dengchuan Tower, and she still had palpitations, so this year's Lantern Festival, she didn't plan to take the children out to watch the lanterns again, and the fifth uncle also came back, he was his own master in the lanterns, so he planned to hold a small Lantern Festival party in the general's mansion, and when the time came, he invited several familiar families to come over, and everyone ate and drank together, and played and made trouble, which was also warm and pleasant, but Lei Yingying had not come back in Yunzhou, and she always felt that there were shortcomings.

Early in the morning, Lin Shuran called Xu Mingchen and the others to him, and told them his thoughts, saying that he would hold a Lantern Festival party in the mansion.

"Mother, are we really not going out to watch the lights this year?" The General's Mansion has never held its own Lantern Festival, and Xu Minghao and they all think it is quite novel.

"Don't go out, on the night of the Lantern Festival, there are too many people outside, people are mixed and messy, you are all children, what if something happens like last year? Let's spend the Lantern Festival at home this year, and when you grow up, you can go anywhere! Lin Shuran took out some invitations, "Go back and send these invitations to the provinces!" ”

"Mother, can I invite my good friend to come?" Xu Minghao asked with a smile, he thought of his good friend Xiaohuzi, as well as those beggar friends, and Wei Ying.
