Chapter 143: Next, Instead!

The executioner cut off Huo Yijue's head with a knife, blood splattered everywhere, and everyone onlookers subconsciously avoided watching this bloody picture.

Chi fainted in the arms of Huo Yingjun, the uncle of the Huo family, but Huo Yijun had a smile in his eyes and looked straight at the guillotine.

As soon as Huo Yijue died, her resistance to competing for the top position no longer existed.

It means that the Huo family has no grandchildren, and the rest of the grandchildren are all concubines, and no one is more noble than others.

The next thing she has to do is to replace her and become the real 'grandson' of the Huo family in name!

At present, although the pawnshop living corpse case looks very tricky, if it is used well, it will be the best opportunity for my father to enter the Huo Family Chamber of Commerce.

She is an official in the Qingzheng Division, and officials are not allowed to do business, so her father Huo Yingpei will be the best candidate for her to support her position!

"What is Brother Sheng Lin thinking?"

Jiang Xie suddenly turned his head to stare at her, and found that Huo Yijun's eyes were dull, as if he was looking at the guillotine but not at all.

Huo Yijun came back to his senses, turned around and left: "It's nothing, I just feel dirty." ”

After all, it was also her brother who was beheaded, Jiang Xie was surprised to see her indifferent reaction, but thinking back to Huo Yihuan's accident, she seemed to be so indifferent.

In the huge Huo family, she looked out of place.

The cleanup work on the side of the Wanton has not yet been completed, and after seeing the beheading, Jiang Xie and her turned back to the Qingzheng Division.

In the past few days, because of Huo Yijue's matter, she has been going home late intentionally or unintentionally to avoid the people in the big house, Jiang Xie can see her thoughts, and she is also accompanying her to read the case file.

There was some coldness in the meeting hall, Huo Yijun rubbed his arms, and regretted that he didn't wear a big hat.

And the next moment, Jiang Xie took off his big coat and draped it on her, turned around and jumped on the table, stretching out his long legs.

"My lord..."Huo Yijun looked at the big coat on her body and wanted to take it off, but Jiang Xie stopped her, "Your body is thinly draped, and the people of Qingzheng Division have gone to the warehouse, and they usually arrange people to burn charcoal in Zhongji to keep warm, but I am afraid that I have forgotten it in the past two days, please pay attention to it." ”

Huo Yijun stared up at him.

Jiang Xie clenched his hand tightly on the edge of the table, and his heart gradually became complicated.

Why does she see me that way?

Do you still feel cold when you put on a big hat? Could it be that you feel sluggish?

Jiang Xie jumped down from the table and walked away: "I'll go burn charcoal, and it will be warm in a while." ”

"It's not." Huo Yijun got up and stopped him, and took off the big piece on his body and put it on the table, "There are still injuries on your body, you should pay attention to keeping warm, I'm not cold." ”

Jiang Xie turned around, reached out and took out a chair from the table, and sat down with long legs and steps: "You are not cold, and I am not cold." ”

"Huo Tuiguan has been reading the case files of the two cases here for a long time, do you see anything?"

Huo Yijun glanced at the case file on the table, sat down with his arms crossed, and said lightly: "The corpse has become a living corpse, some of it has been placed in the pawnshop and died as a warehouse, and some of it has become a floating corpse on the Jinghe, do you think it's strange?" ”

"What's strange?" Jiang Xie asked curiously.

Huo Yijun turned around and sat on his side, and the fingers of his left hand regularly knocked on the table: "The warehouse is a few miles away from Jinghewan, why is there a corpse with the same mark?" Where did the floating corpses in Jinghe Bay come from? ”

"It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the case file, and it should be that the prefect of Yingdu hasn't checked it clearly." Jiang Xie said.

Huo Yijun proposed: "Anyway, we haven't found out yet, why don't we take a trip, check the upstream and downstream of the Jinghe River, and find the source of the floating corpse." ”

"Okay." Jiang Xie immediately agreed.

But when he got up and was about to leave, he suddenly sat down again: "I know the upstream and downstream of the Jinghe River, the upstream is connected to the Chang'an Wharf, the downstream is the Jiu'an Wharf, and the banks of the Jinghe River are Huojia Wharf, you don't know it, little boy, right?" ”

Huo Yijun realized it later, and hurriedly said: "I know, but this yard is one yard, how can the source of the floating corpse be found, I have to find a way to figure out what is going on with this living corpse." ”

"You don't have to worry about this matter, the prefect of Yingdu is following up on this matter, sit here and wait quietly for news." Jiang Xie leaned back on the chair with his arms crossed, and his tone was serious, exuding a majesty that was difficult to resist.

Then Huo Yijun found that Jiang Xie had been staring at Huo Yijun.

"Little boy, this case seems to have something to do with the Huo family, you shouldn't be hiding anything from me, right?"

Huo Yijun tilted his head and asked, "What is Jiang Sizheng referring to?" ”

"Just like the last time Huo Yijue was cured of eye disease, you know what I want to know......"

"Okay, I'll tell you."

Jiang Xie frowned, he didn't expect this person to really have something to say.

Could she be telling the truth at this point?

Huo Yijun bluntly said: "In the basement of the Huo family, there is also a corpse with a death mark, my grandfather took me to examine, the cause of death was driven into the head by an iron nail, and he was tortured a lot before his death, it should be someone who wants to ask something out of this person's mouth." ”

"But the deceased should have preferred to die unyieldingly, and then he was killed, judging from the clothes on the deceased, he should be a sailor and fisherman who lived on the dock of the Huo family boat company."

Jiang Xie repeated the key words: "There is also a dead corpse in the basement of the Huo family?" The fishermen on the boat of the deceased? ”

"Yes, the identity of the deceased has been determined, the Huo family's boat." Huo Yijun emphasized it again and deliberately revealed this information in the past.

Jiang Xie saw that she was so calm, and secretly wrote down this item.

At the same time, as soon as this case appeared, it quickly became the talk of the town after tea and dinner.

It's very serious and terrifying.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a thick cotton coat appeared at the door of Kiyomasa on the street.

He looked at the plaque and clenched his fists secretly.
