Chapter 284: What to Hide
An hour later, Emperor Zhao You specially summoned Xu Junze and Xiao Chen in the imperial study, Duan Ji, the regent of Xia State, had just gone out of the palace, and he asked Emperor Zhao You to severely punish Xu Mingye, the murderer, and give an answer within three days, otherwise the peace talks would end, and the mission of Xia State would leave immediately, and then everyone would see each other on the battlefield.
"What were the results of the autopsy?" The emperor nodded his forehead with his crooked index finger with a headache, and the waves were uneven, and the matter between Wei Xiong and Duan Yunhao had not yet come to a conclusion, and Xu Mingye fell into the case of Duan Yunwei's murder again, and since the mission arrived in Beijing, the capital has never been calm.
Xiao Chen took a step forward and replied: "Your Majesty, Duan Yunwei has three obvious traces of being bitten by wolves, but his fatal wound is still three times stabbed in the chest by a dagger, and the dagger minister has already asked General Xu, it is the dagger worn by Xu Mingye, the second member of the Xu family, and the imperial doctor who treated Duan Yunwei at that time also confirmed that he saw Xu Mingye kill Duan Yunwei." ”
After speaking, Xiao Chen also glanced at Xu Junze deliberately, as we all know, there was a festival between the brothers of the Xu family and the brothers of the Duan family, and Xu Minghan, the third elder of the Xu family, was almost disfigured, and it was difficult to guarantee that Xu Mingye did not kill Duan Yunwei in order to avenge his brother.
But at the same time, Xiao Chen is also suspicious of this, with his years of experience in handling cases, although Xu Mingye seems to be a young impulsive and wild, but he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who is completely reckless, he always feels that there must be something hidden in this.
Of course, he will not rely on his feelings to investigate the case, and now that the human and material evidence is complete, it seems that Xu Mingye's murder crime is difficult to change.
"Xiao Chen, this case must be investigated, if it is really the second child of the Xu family who killed Duan Yunwei, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect him!" After the emperor said this to Xiao Chen with a serious face, he looked at Xu Junze, who had never said a word, he trusted and respected his brother-in-law very much, and he also knew that he cherished and cared for those children very much, but the big crime of violating the national law and provoking a war between the two countries has nothing to do with it, and no one can tolerate it.
Xu Junze understood the meaning in the emperor's eyes at this time, he didn't feel strange that Xu Mingye wanted to kill Duan Yunwei, what was strange was that with Xu Mingye's current ability, even with the help of a wolf and the secret guard, he would not be able to enter that mansion so smoothly, this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, not to mention that Xu Mingye had been crying out for wrong, and the secret guard was also dead, and the only people who knew the truth were those people in the Xia Kingdom and the imperial doctor who was in the house at the time.
Xiao Chen reassured the emperor that he would definitely find out the truth as soon as possible, and Xu Junze also said that he would assist Xiao Chen in solving the case together.
On the way out of the palace, Xiao Chen asked Xu Junze: "If it is really found out that it was your second young man who killed Duan Yunwei, what are you going to do?" ”
Xu Junze looked at him calmly and replied: "If you make a mistake, you have to bear the consequences, no matter who he is!" ”
Xiao Chen seemed a little surprised that Xu Junze would say this, because no matter how much mistake those children of the Xu family made in the past, Xu Junze came forward to settle it for them, this time he thought that Xu Junze would protect Xu Mingye without any principles, but he didn't mean to protect him.
"Sister Shu Ran cares about these children of the Xu family very much, if she knows about the second young man of your family, she will definitely be very anxious, and her current body will not be able to stand it!" Xiao Chen thought about it, and said these words to Xu Junze when the two of them were about to leave the palace gate, he was very worried about Lin Shuran's situation after he knew about Xu Mingye's matter.
The last thing Xu Junze wanted to discuss with Xiao Chen was Lin Shuran's matter, although he could see that Lin Shuran had no love for Xiao Chen, and even she was deliberately avoiding Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen cared about his wife so much, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Uncomfortable is uncomfortable, he didn't act like a jealous husband, but nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've already let people hide this matter from her!" ”
Xiao Chen didn't say more, he could feel that he was getting farther and farther away from Lin Shuran, maybe he could watch her happy from the side, it would be enough for himself.
Lin Shuran always felt a little uncomfortable in the past two days, and he couldn't say what was weird, but he just felt that something was wrong.
Xu Mingye didn't come back after the wolf disappeared that day, although Xu Junze returned to the mansion and told her that the wolf and Xu Mingye had been found, but she had to stay at the grange for a while and then come back, so she didn't have to worry.
But whether it was the people around her or the children of the Xu family, it seemed that they were deliberately avoiding her gaze, and it was more like they were hiding something, asking them but not saying anything, even Lingqin and Feiyue.
Early in the morning, she called the old nine Xu Mingsong and the old ten Xu Mingsheng, saying that they asked the woodcraft shop to send new toys, but the two people who were unprecedentedly said that they wanted to study, but they avoided coming to see Lin Shuran.
"These two kids, they don't even play with toys anymore!" Lin Shuran was just pregnant, but not sluggish, her intuition told her that everyone must be hiding something from her, and her family couldn't find out, so she went outside to find out the news, so she asked Lingqin and Feiyue to prepare a carriage for her, and she planned to go out of the house.
"Madam, you are pregnant, what do you want the slave to do!" Lingqin and Feiyue, including Mei and others who went out to inquire about the news, were secretly found by Xu Junze, and they were strictly ordered not to disclose Xu Mingye's affairs to Lin Shuran, and even the fifth uncle came back to tell them that now there is a lot of rumors outside about Xu Mingye's killing of Duan Yunwei, if Lin Shuran goes out at this time, I am afraid that he will soon know what happened.
Lin Shuran waved his hand and said, "There are some things you can't do, I have to go out in person, go and prepare the car!" ”
Lingqin gave Feiyue a look, Feiyue turned around and walked out of the room, and then found Mama Zhang, and at the same time asked someone to notify Xu Junze.
As soon as Mama Zhang heard that Lin Shuran was going out, she immediately appeared in front of her and strongly stopped her, saying, "Miss, you must not go out now, you are pregnant with a child, you must recuperate in the mansion with peace of mind!" ”
Everyone in the house knows that Lin Shuran is the most good-tempered and listens to persuasion, but that is usually Lin Shuran thinks that many things are harmless, she is kind and everyone is harmonious, so there is no need to have a strong attitude or put on the appearance of the majesty and difficulty of the housemother, but when it is time to be tough, she will not take a step back.
"Mama, you don't care about this matter, my own body knows it, even if I am pregnant, it will not affect my travel. I'm the mother of this great general, and now I have something to go out, why do you have to stop me? Can't I even be the master when I go out of the house to do errands?! Lin Shuran suddenly straightened his face, and it was rare to speak harshly to Mama Zhang.
