Chapter 255: Old Cases (1st Update)
When Xiao Chengxuan received the message, he beat a drum in his heart.
Along the way, he knocked on the side and asked from Gonggong Li's mouth that his father summoned him this time, and it seemed that it was related to Han Tong's case.
But he just sent someone to tell Han Tong not long ago, and now that Han Tong's life is in his hands, what dare can he have to make waves?
I asked again, but I couldn't ask anything.
Gonggong Li is the person next to the saint in the end, and he knows what words can be confided, but what words cannot even be mentioned in half a word.
Hurriedly came to the outside of the imperial study, Xiao Chengxuan's forehead was already faintly sweating.
He took a deep breath.
"The son visits his father."
Emperor Mu Wudi's face was cold, and a pair of old but still sharp eyes stared at him so coldly.
There was a dead silence, and Xiao Chengxuan could even hear his own heartbeat.
Emperor Mu Wu didn't speak for a moment, he didn't dare to get up for a moment, he knelt on the ground, and didn't move.
Finally, a cold and deep voice came.
"About Huo Yucheng's case back then, second child, don't you have anything to say?"
Huo Yucheng!?
Xiao Chengxuan's eyelids jumped violently, and he panicked for a moment.
Could it be that Han Tong confessed something!?
But it shouldn't be!
Obviously, everything has been sorted out before, especially about Huo Yucheng, which involves the life and death of many people, including Han Tong, how could he say this!?
Han Tong has been with him for many years, and he knows his temperament well, in order to protect his precious son, Han Tong didn't even hesitate to give up his own life, and he didn't say a word, why now-
"What does the father mean, forgive the son's stupidity!"
Xiao Chengxuan knelt on the ground, full of dazed and shocked, as if he really didn't know anything.
Whoa——!
Emperor Mu Wu suddenly picked up the file in his hand and threw it out violently, Xiao Chengxuan didn't dare to hide, and his forehead was immediately smashed hard.
The file fell in front of him and spread it out, he couldn't help but glance at it, and when he saw the name of a certain person on it, he immediately went into cardiac arrest!
- Xu Jie!
Han Tong said that at the beginning, Xu Jie, who was then the squire of the Ministry of War, reported Huo Yucheng for embezzling military salaries, which was really a false accusation! You were in charge of this case in the first place, what do you say? ”
Emperor Mu Wu pointed at him and shouted,
"You say—the evidence is conclusive! There is no excuse for sin! ”
Huo Yucheng was punished for several crimes, and any one of them was a serious crime, because Emperor Mu Wu was so angry at that time, and no one was allowed to intercede, and even Ye Zheng, the only one who spoke for Huo Yucheng, was angry.
But now three years have passed, Huo Yucheng was actually falsely accused!
If this one is false, then - what about the other crimes!?
Xiao Chengxuan didn't care about the pain, raised his head and hurriedly argued for himself: "Father! How is this possible? Erchen did find evidence from Huo Mansion at that time, he-"
Han Tong is really crazy! Actually broke this out!
Xiao Chengxuan already hated Han Tong in his heart, and only regretted that he acted too cautiously before, and left Han Tong to live for a while before causing such a disaster!
"Han Tong is a criminal minister, how can he believe what he says? Please also ask my father to know it! ”
Emperor Mu Wu looked at him with a cold gaze.
"Second brother, you have been excellent since you were a child, and you have always paid attention to the rules and regulations in your work, so I handed over this case to you. Whether Huo Yucheng embezzled military salaries, and whether those so-called evidence are true or false, can't you really find out?! ”
Xiao Chengxuan's heart jumped suddenly.
The father is so sure that he made a mistake in investigating the case, could it be ...... What evidence has been found?
But of course he couldn't.
Xiao Chengxuan clenched his fists and said word by word:
"Erchen—I really don't know!" (End of chapter)
