Chapter 339 Heaven wants to kill it, it will make it crazy
"Sir Ma, the emperor sent our family out of the palace to personally escort you back to the palace."
When Hu Jue heard this, he didn't show much surprise or joy. Instead, he looked at the Duke of Guo behind them very calmly.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Qi, I want to know what kind words the Duke of Guo said for me in the palace, so that the emperor allowed me to leave Dali Temple?"
Eunuch Qi was startled, Eunuch Guo curled his lips, Xiao Mingxuan looked indifferent, and Luo Jiuli secretly sighed.
Everyone had different expressions, but everyone couldn't help but cursed in their hearts.
Old and cunning.
Here, before Mr. Qi could speak openly, over there, Mr. Guo stepped forward with tiger eyes.
"I said, you were scratching your head before and wanted to leave. Why don't you want to leave now that you have received the emperor's order?"
Hu Jue stood as firm as a tree and did not dodge at all because of Duke Guo's spitting stars.
"I was caught in a daze, so naturally I can't just go out in a daze."
Eunuch Qi was chewing his teeth. This man is old and has become a sperm.
The Duke was so angry that he pointed at Hu Jue and said.
"The emperor said that there was a misunderstanding and he sent Eunuch Qi to take you back to your home. You didn't say thank you for the emperor's kindness, but you even made a show of it."
Hu Jue smiled indifferently.
"My lord, this is not staged. Since someone has reported the crime, whether it is a misunderstanding or an injustice, it is natural that the law must be enforced impartially and in accordance with the rules."
"In my opinion, the case should still be tried."
"When the trial is over, I'll trouble Eunuch Qi to take me back to my home. I'll go to the palace tomorrow to express my gratitude."
As soon as Hu Jue finished speaking, the atmosphere in the dungeon suddenly solidified.
Xiao Mingxuan's face was obviously a little ugly.
The Duke's blood pressure also skyrocketed.
"Lord Sima."
Luo Jiuli, who had been silent until now, spoke.
"Lord Sima is very loyal and wants to prove his innocence through trial. However, if Lord Sima insists on insisting."
"Tonight, I'm afraid you will have to stay in the cell overnight before the case can be heard tomorrow."
"Why is this?"
The more Hu Jue looks at Luo Jiuli now, the more he looks like Luo Daohan himself. These two strong-willed people are indeed father and daughter. They are just like the stones in the latrine, with the same bad temper and the same hardness.
Luo Jiuli didn't care at all about his unfriendly eyes.
"Because Mr. Pei received a tip that Jiang Fengnian's death was related to an aunt named Die'er in Jiang Mansion, and that Aunt Die'er -"
"What are you talking about, Auntie Die'er? Girl, don't talk nonsense."
The Duke turned his head and gave Luo Jiuli a wild wink.
This Dali Temple is chaotic enough, why are you handing Hu Jue a knife in front of him?
Luo Jiuli: Dad! The look you gave me is too obvious.
On the opposite side, Hu Jue is indeed an old fox who has been struggling in the officialdom. Except for his pupils dilating when he suddenly heard Die'er's name, he quickly became calm and even showed an interesting expression.
Listen to the conversation between the father and daughter.
On the side, Eunuch Qi didn't know that there was something else going on here, but seeing that the delay was too long, he stepped forward and said:
"Lord Sima, after our family escorts you back to the palace, do we still have to rush back to the palace to report to the emperor and the queen mother?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know. When the Queen Mother heard about this, she was furious. The Queen Mother knelt down in front of the Emperor in such a cold day and cried so sadly that our family couldn't bear to see it."
"If Mr. Sima still insists on staying in this prison, not only will he have violated the emperor's grace, but also the filial piety of the imperial concubine will be wasted. If the imperial concubine knows about it, how will he be sad?"
What he said was so sensible that there was no reason to refute it.
When Hu Jue heard this, his expression was as usual, but his attitude was uncharacteristically different.
"What Eunuch Qi said is absolutely true. It is the fault of the old minister for worrying the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine. Tomorrow, the old minister will enter the palace to express his gratitude."
As he said that, he looked at Xiao Mingxuan.
"Your Majesty, I still say what I said. No matter whether I am in Tianlao or Sima Mansion, I will always be there whenever you need to handle a case."
When a smart person speaks, even if he speaks in a roundabout way, he can still hear the underlying meaning behind his words.
Xiao Mingxuan turned sideways.
"Eunuch Qi, you must personally escort Lord Sima back to your home."
"yes."
Eunuch Qi flicked his fly whisk.
Hu Jue held his cane and bowed lightly, then slowly walked out of the prison door.
Half an hour later, in the study room of Sima Mansion.
"Sir, there is news from Dali Temple that Pei Tingsong has indeed led people to investigate the whereabouts of Die'er, and he is also accompanied by people from the Nine Princes' Palace."
Hu Jue's face was sinister, his hands tightly clenched the crutches, and his eyes were cold to the bone.
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to silence me? Why is she still alive?"
The back of the kneeling person was tense. They did kill people back then, but now--
"She was the one who took advantage of the fire and changed the situation. At the time, her subordinates——"
Hu Jue gritted his back molars and said cruelly.
"Go right away. Be sure to find the person before Pei Tingsong and eliminate the root cause."
"If you miss me again this time, please come and see me."
"yes."
The man who was kneeling on the ground dared to say another word now. Your Excellency was extremely merciful by not killing him immediately.
As the kneeling man pushed the door open and left, in the deep darkness, a black figure on the roof diagonally opposite the Sima Mansion also disappeared into the night.
After a stick of incense, inside the Nuan Pavilion of the Duke's Mansion.
Luo Yuanliang, dressed in cold clothes, walked in.
"Your Majesty."
In the Nuan Pavilion, Xiao Mingxuan sat at the head of the room, flanked by the Duke of Guo and Luo Jiuli.
"How is the situation at Sima Mansion?"
"Everything is as expected by the prince. Is Jiang Mansion's fine work really a member of Da Sima?"
"After the Grand Sima returned to his home to see off Eunuch Qi, he sent dead soldiers out of the house to search for the whereabouts of Jiang Mansion's Xizuo, and told those dead soldiers to kill and silence him before Dali Temple."
Xiao Mingxuan nodded and looked at Luo Jiuli.
It seemed that these were all within his expectations.
Before the two people could speak, Luo Yuanliang said again:
"There is one more thing that I want to report to the prince. There is indeed a traitor in Dali Temple. But what I didn't expect is that it turned out to be Wang Sizheng."
"Ojimasa?"
Luo Jiuli looked at her elder brother with some confusion.
Luo Yuanliang said:
"Dali Temple is divided into official positions such as Dali Temple Qing, Dali Temple Shaoqing, Dali Temple Cheng, temple chief, commentator, chief bookkeeper, recorder, and director."
"And Wang Sizheng is not a person's name. His surname is Wang. Sizheng is also called Dali Zheng. He is an official in Dali Temple who directly hears cases and is directly involved in the case."
"No wonder?"
Luo Jiuli didn't know much about these positions. She only knew that her brother-in-law had a high official position, ranking as the ninth minister. Unexpectedly, there were many positions in Dali Temple.
"Where are the people?"
Seeing that Luo Jiuli didn't ask any more questions, Xiao Mingxuan looked at Luo Yuanliang with a cold gaze.
