"Go, ask the housekeeper to find the master and come back immediately."
"yes."
Grandma was also scared to death.
At this time, I just hope that my family will have a backbone.
Everyone hurriedly helped Mrs. Hu back to the house.
"Mother, grandfather, will he..."
As soon as he entered the room, Hu Hanyu's expression changed, and his face was full of panic.
Mrs. Hu put her fingers between her lips and made a shushing gesture.
Mrs. Hu turned her head and ordered her servants:
"You go down first."
"yes."
The two maids and the mother-in-law retreated politely, but one of them hesitated a little before leaving.
Mrs. Hu watched the door closed before saying coolly:
"It's hard to tell if there's anything going on now. I heard that the evidence in Jiang's case points directly to your grandfather."
Hu Hanyu suddenly covered his mouth and heard Mrs. Hu say again.
"However, your grandfather has always done things safely. All the people and evidence involved in this case have been destroyed."
"But the other evidence that came out, I'm afraid, someone deliberately wanted to frame your grandfather."
Hu Hanyu heard this.
"Who is trying to frame grandfather?"
"Who is it? Don't you know yet?"
Mrs. Hu looked at her daughter with a stern expression.
"Xiao Mingxuan, Luo Jiuli."
As he spoke, his eyes flashed with a poisonous light that was more terrifying than an evil ghost...
The news that Hu Jue was taken to the Dali Temple Prison to 'drink tea' spread to the Nine Princes' Mansion within a short time.
At that time, Luo Jiuli and Xiao Mingxuan were already sitting firmly in the main room in the backyard.
Although the time has just entered Youshi, the days are short and the nights are long in winter. It is already dusk outside, and lanterns have been set up in various courtyards.
"Did Hu Jue show any abnormality after entering the Dali Temple prison?"
Xiao Mingxuan asked Mo Han, who was standing next to him.
Mo Han went to Dali Temple specifically to inquire about the reason before returning home to report it.
"No, Mr. Pei said that Hu Jue, a person who was arrested, was calmer than him who was arresting people."
"No……"
Xiao Mingxuan rubbed his lips.
Luo Jiuli also frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
"Why do I feel like something is wrong?"
"Your Majesty, didn't you say that evidence of Hu Jue's murder and arson has been found? Why is Hu Jue still so calm?"
"Besides, the Changchun Palace won't be able to delay it for long. If the Queen Mother intervenes in this matter, it won't be so easy to handle..."
Xiao Mingxuan looked at Luo Jiuli.
"Do you think that with Hu Jue's cunning nature, what clues will he leave behind for us to find out?"
One sentence instantly opened up Luo Jiuli's second line of Ren and Du.
"What the prince means is that someone deliberately left clues to interfere with our line of sight."
"It's not interference. Hu Jue is involved in the murder of Jiang Fengnian, the arson case in Jiang Mansion and the thirteen murders."
"What I didn't expect was that Pei Tingsong would arrest someone so quickly."
Xiao Mingxuan said and stood up.
"The time is not yet ripe."
Luo Jiuli also stood up.
"Does the prince want to go?"
Xiao Mingxuan turned back to look at her.
"Well, I'll ask Mo Han to take you back home first."
"No, I want to see it too."
——
At this time, Dali Temple.
"My lord, the Duke of the country."
Outside the door, a jailer hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Tingsong raised his head and looked at the door.
The jailer who came in hesitated and looked at Mr. Pei, whose face was full of frost.
The Duke put the files away and spoke in a cold tone.
"Why are you such a long-winded person? If you have something to say, please tell me quickly."
The jailer hesitated.
"Si, Master Sima sent the younger one to ask, when can he leave?"
"Old guy, he wants to leave just after he came in. Go and tell him that the time has not come yet, and ask him to stay inside."
The jailers were stunned.
"Little one, is that what you're saying?"
Then will he be able to see the rising sun tomorrow? Didn’t the Duke ask him to die?
"You're the one!"
The Duke chewed his teeth and looked at the jailer's submissive look. He looked nothing like his soldiers, who were full of wolfish nature.
Pei Tingsong glanced at his father-in-law.
"Father-in-law, don't embarrass him."
How dare a little jailer dare to embarrass a high-ranking official.
"I'd better go there myself."
"Don't go."
The Duke held Pei Tingsong's shoulders.
"The old guy is so calm. He must have heard some rumors. The evidence you found suggests that he has already thought of a countermeasure."
"You Dali Temple."
The Duke looked at the dark courtyard outside the door.
"After this period of work is over, it's time to straighten things out."
After saying that, he patted Pei Tingsong twice on the shoulder and walked out.
Shortly after the Duke of Guo went to his cell, the carriage from the Nine Princes' Palace also stopped at the gate of Dali Temple.
"In a humble position, I have met the prince and the second young lady."
The one who saluted was Zhang Pingquan who was about to go out.
"Get up."
Xiao Mingxuan glanced at him lightly.
Behind him, Luo Jiuli said:
"Where are you going, Mr. Zhang?"
"In reply to the second lady, Mr. Pei asked me to go to Yizhuang to re-examine the thirteen corpses."
"Anything missing?"
Zhang Pingquan looked at the cluttered crowd at the entrance of Dali Temple, nodded slightly, but did not speak.
"Mohan."
Xiao Mingxuan looked at the door and clicked Mo Han's name.
"master."
Mo Han stepped forward.
"Go and accompany Mr. Zhang to Yizhuang."
"yes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhang Pingquan bowed and gave way.
Xiao Mingxuan took Luo Jiuli into the courtyard of Dali Temple.
In the room, Pei Tingsong bowed and the three of them took their seats.
"Brother-in-law asked Zhang Pingquan to go to Yizhuang to examine the thirteen corpses again. Why?"
Pei Tingsong waved his hand, and several government officials retreated until there were no outsiders in the room.
"Little sister, do you still remember that last time you asked someone to tell the suspected Jiang Mansion the true identity of Aunt Die'er?"
Luo Jiuli nodded.
"Remember, wasn't it said later that among the thirteen corpses burned to death, there was that of Aunt Die'er?"
Pei Tingsong said:
"Just now, my subordinates tortured the servant who had served Aunt Die'er. The servant said that Aunt Die'er had secretly taken medicine for miscarriage."
"I thought her body must be different from others, so I asked Zhang Pingquan to check again."
In front of Luo Jiuli, he was unwilling to bring up such a topic.
For fear of causing her sadness.
Luo Jiuli was stunned, but didn't think much about it.
"If the child is Jiang Fengnian's, why did she secretly take the miscarriage medicine? The only possibility is-"
That child is not from Jiang Feng's age.
Xiao Mingxuan was not interested in these back house gossips and asked calmly:
"Why is such an important matter only being heard today?"
Pei Tingsong was also helpless. He wanted to cut it in half and use it, and he didn't have to do everything by himself.
"There are many servants in Jiang Mansion, and the jailers also asked questions as usual. They have never used torture, and they have never thought of-"
