Chapter 113: Reversal of the case
Leaving the palace, because the emperor did not arrange for the two to stay in the outer hotel, Xiao Huang and Long Xian'er naturally returned to their own courtyard, which was more satisfactory to the two. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that Xiao Huang's face always had a trace of doubt on his face along the way.
Long Xian'er looked at it and asked, "Senior brother, do you still have any worries?"
Xiao Huang glanced at Long Xian'er, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Or maybe I'm too worried!"
Long Xian'er didn't get a direct answer from Xiao Huang, and she didn't ask any more.
Suddenly, a figure passed by Xiao Huang.
Xiao Huang paused and turned his head to look.
"What's wrong?" Long Xian'er followed Xiao Huang's gaze, but she didn't see anything special.
"It's okay, I'm dazzled!" Xiao Huang replied with a smile.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Xiao Huang got up.
Today is the first day of the retrial of the case in General Hua's Mansion, and they have long made up their minds to go to the hearing.
Yanzi and Gao Lei lived in their respective families, and Long Xian'er and Long Fatzi Lingxue were already ready in the courtyard.
Just as everyone was about to leave, there was a knock on the door.
The fat man ran over and opened the courtyard door, and at the door was a little beggar, only seven or eight years old.
"Who are you looking for?" asked the fat man, looking at the little beggar.
"Who of you is Xiao Huang?"
Xiao Huang stepped forward and said, "I'm Xiao Huang, what's the matter?"
The little beggar looked at Xiao Huang twice, took out a letter and handed it to Xiao Huang, and said, "Someone asked me to give this to you!"
Xiao Huang took the letter, and the little beggar left on his own.
Xiao Huang opened the letter and glanced at it, frowning slightly.
"What's wrong?" asked Long Xian'er.
Xiao Huang smiled slightly and said, "I'll leave first, you guys go first from the Criminal Department, and I'll come in a while!"
Ling Xue frowned and said, "Can't you take me this time?"
Xiao Huang touched Lingxue's hair and said, "I'm sorry, you have to be obedient." ”
Ling Xue pursed her lips and looked unhappy.
"Senior Sister Lingxue. Long Xian'er came up and took Ling Xue's hand and said, "Let's go buy dim sum together, I heard that the big steamed buns in the east of the city are the most fragrant." ”
When Ling Xue heard about the dim sum, she hesitated, glanced at Xiao Huang, snorted, and took Long Xian'er's hand.
"Thank you!" Xiao Huang said to Long Xian'er.
Long Xian'er smiled slightly and said, "You have to be more careful yourself." ”
Xiao Huang nodded.
After the three of them immediately became a small courtyard, Xiao Huang also set off.
After walking through two alleys, turning in two more directions, making sure that no one was watching, he turned a corner and came to a doorway.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, there was a knock on the door.
The door opened, and inside the door was a gorgeously dressed woman, seeing Xiao Huang smiling slightly, she quickly took Xiao Huang and turned into the courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, I found that this door was only a back door, and a rather small restaurant stood not far from the back.
The woman was very familiar with this place, and took Xiao Huang to turn a few directions and entered the hotel through the back door, and through a screen, she walked into a quiet cubicle of the hotel.
After arriving at the cubicle, the woman bowed.
"Thank you Young Master Xiao for saving me back then, and the little woman is grateful. ”
Xiao Huang just smiled faintly and said, "What happened back then was just a transaction between you and me, you don't need to be polite." ”
"Xiao Gongzi is righteous, but the little woman doesn't dare to forget Gongzi's great kindness!"
The woman opposite was Xiao Huang's little girl Xiaoxiang when Xiao Huang was still living in Huangshi County. Because she was found overhearing the master's conversation, she could only ask Xiao Huang for help, and Xiao Huang sponsored her a sum of money and sent her away from Huangshi County, but she didn't expect to meet again here.
Xiao Huang greeted politely: "How are you doing all these years?"
Xiao Xiang smiled and said: "Thanks to Young Master Xiao, the young master gave Xiao Xiang a sum of money back then, and Xiao Xiang took that money and came to the capital, and her life can still be passed." It's just that the people in the capital are not familiar with the place, but fortunately, thanks to the owner of this restaurant, they took it in. Xiaoxiang is also willing to endure hardships, so she is very valued by the owner and is accepted as a concubine. It's not bad. ”
Xiao Huang smiled, although the memory of his two lives made him naturally a little resistant to the concubine, but Xiao Xiang was very satisfied, so he could only bless her. As for Xiao Xiang being valued by the owner, Xiao Huang will not be surprised, Xiao Xiang is also the personal maid of the young master of the Liu family, the largest family in Huangshi County, although it is not peerless, it can be regarded as top-notch.
"You're doing well. Xiao Huang replied with a smile.
Xiao Xiang bowed and bowed, and the image of the little girl before had changed dramatically.
"By the way, you said that something important came to me, what is it?"
Xiao Huang met Xiao Xiang on the street yesterday, and today someone handed over a note, signed by the old man of Huangshi County, Xiao Huang immediately thought of Xiao Xiang he met by chance, so he changed his plan and came to see what happened to Xiao Xiang first.
Xiao Xiang groaned slightly, came to the window first, looked left and right, and didn't find anyone paying attention to this side, before he spoke: "I don't know if Young Master Xiao knows, Liu Donglai and his wife also came to the capital!"
Xiao Huang frowned slightly when he heard this: "Where did you get the news?"
Xiao Xiang replied: "This is the largest restaurant in the capital, and many dignitaries come here to eat and talk about things. A few days ago, I met Liu Donglai and his wife who also came to the restaurant. ”
Xiao Huang thought for a moment and confirmed, "You must be right?"
Xiao Xiang smiled and said, "If others may be wrong, but Liu Donglai and his wife, the one who almost took Xiao Xiang's life, does Young Master Xiao think Xiao Xiang will recognize the wrong person?"
"Is there anyone else present?" Xiao Huang asked after a quick analysis.
Xiao Xiang pondered for a moment, and seemed to be a little embarrassed, but after a while, she seemed to have made up her mind, and said: "This is the privacy of the guest, and I shouldn't disclose it, but since the son asked, then I will say it directly! At that time, in addition to Liu Donglai and his wife, there was also a middle-aged man surnamed Fang. As far as I heard, Mr. and Mrs. Liu Donglai referred to the man surnamed Fang as the head of the Fang family. The two of them looked very respectful of that Fang family master. Xiao Xiang looked at Xiao Huang and continued, "I see that Liu Donglai and his wife are sneaky, there must be a problem." Yesterday, I saw Young Master Xiao on the street again, and I thought that this matter might be related to the young master, so I hurriedly asked someone to notify the young master to come over. ”
Xiao Huang nodded and said, "Thank you! This news is very important to me." ”
Xiao Xiangying smiled and said, "The young master is polite, and the young master's life-saving grace must be nothing." ”
Xiao Huang shook his head and said, "I know about this, but this matter is a bit big. It's better to find a place to hide first, and it's better not to get involved in this matter. ”
Xiaoxiang nodded with a smile and replied, "It's just that I'll take advantage of the past few days to go out for a walk, and I'll come back when Liu Dong comes and they leave." ”
Leaving the hotel, Xiao Huang came to the Criminal Department, and he was slightly absent-minded along the way.
When the head of the Fang family suddenly asked for a retrial of the case yesterday, Xiao Huang felt that something was wrong. Especially after learning about his personality from the old master Gao, he felt that there was an unknown connection to this matter. Now that Xiao Xiang knows that the head of the Fang family has contact with Liu Donglai and his wife, there must be a conspiracy watching.
When I came to the Criminal Department, I saw that Gao Lei, the wild goose, also rushed over, and stood with Long Xian'er and watched the trial. In addition to this group of people, there were also a large number of people standing next to them to watch the excitement.
In fact, the case is not too complicated, with the evidence collected by the Seven Princes, even if Xiao Huang and the others are no longer at the scene, they can be sure that the result of the case will inevitably be overturned.
"Xiao Huang, this way!" Yanzi saw Xiao Huang coming, ignoring the lady's shout.
Xiao Huang smiled and walked through the crowd and came to the side of several people.
"Why has it been so long?" asked Yanzi, "and we're going to start revisiting the case records here." ”
Xiao Huang smiled and said, "I met an old acquaintance and chatted a few words. ”
"The smell of incense powder. Suddenly, Lingxue spoke.
As soon as these words came out, several other people also turned their eyes to Xiao Huang.
Xiao Huang was extremely embarrassed by them, so he had to cough dryly and said, "That old acquaintance is a woman. ”
The goose snorted twice first.
Gao Lei hurriedly said: "Don't think too much about it, Xiao Huang said it's just old knowledge." ”
Ling Xue didn't understand it, or he had unconditional trust in Xiao Huang, and he had no other ideas, but when Gao Lei said this, it seemed like something.
"Yes, Xiao Huang is not the kind of person you think. Xiao Huang, he said to Senior Sister Lingxue..."As soon as the fat man spoke, he was glared at by Long Xian'er, and his voice became smaller and smaller, until in the end, only he could hear it.
Xiao Huang was speechless, are these two really here to help him? There is no problem, but by these two people, it feels the same.
"It's time to send the evidence!" Xiao Huang had no choice but to open his mouth to direct everyone's attention back to the Criminal Department.
The goose snorted twice to express his dissatisfaction, and then turned his attention to the court.
Sure enough, the evidence was presented one by one.
There was also a spicy-looking man in the field, holding a white paper folding fan, debating with officials of the Criminal Department.
"Who is that man?" Xiao Huang immediately noticed the man.
"He is a gold medal lawyer invited by the Seven Princes. You know it's inconvenient for us to come forward, so I found this lawyer to present evidence or something. The fat man explained on the side.
Xiao Huang nodded slightly.
"Has Uncle Zhao passed the hall?"
Gao Lei opened his mouth and explained: "This is the three-day time set by His Majesty, so on the first day, only some evidence will be heard, the second day will be officially passed, and the decisive evidence will be presented on the third day, so that His Majesty's targets can be completed, and at the same time, His Majesty will be given time to prepare for the future." ”
Xiao Huang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect there to be such a statement in officialdom.
The first day of the trial was not too long, but the evidence was brought out and passed in front of my eyes.
However, just from this pass, Xiao Huang immediately felt that the Seventh Prince was really interested in this matter, and all kinds of evidence almost did not need to be tried later, only these evidences needed to be taken out, and all kinds of suspicions back then were almost overturned.
On the second day of the trial, I finally saw Uncle Zhao, several people were outside the venue, and although I was still very tired when I saw Uncle Zhao, it was much better than when I saw it in the prison.
Uncle Zhao also discovered Xiao Huang and his party, but he just nodded slightly and did not open his mouth to communicate.
The trial also went smoothly, and there was hardly any evidence against Uncle Zhao, so that Uncle Zhao's release was almost a foregone conclusion.
