Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 12 The Hated Master Huo
Huo Ying?He came just in time.

But, shouldn't he check Liang He?Why are you here?

Song Yuan was puzzled and found a hidden place to peek.

Seeing that he really came, the steward's face suddenly became colorful.

The princess of Taiyuan has done a great job in rescuing her. She is respected by the palace and has a noble status. The dogs in front of the mansion have poisonous eyes, and they will come immediately at the slightest sign of disturbance, making people extremely annoying.

"Master Huo came to the door in person, but is there something important?" The steward smiled politely, pretending to be confused on purpose.

Huo Ying was unsmiling, and glanced at the official next to him. The official pursed his lips, and Huo Ying knew the whole story with just one look.

This kind of fact is not unusual. Although Emperor Taikang also said hello, there is no need to be too serious about what Princess Taiyuan did, but as a court officer, Huo Ying couldn't tolerate things that violated the laws of the country repeatedly under his nose .

The Tingwei Mansion, which is famous for its torture, can't do such a thing as skinning.

He handed over the greeting card: "I am here for other matters, please see the princess."

After accepting the invitation, the steward hurriedly sent it in to ask for instructions, and came to invite Huo Ying in a short while. The courtyard where the guests were received was heavily guarded, and Song Yuan didn't have the guts to follow in. After hesitating for a while, he had to leave first.

In the middle courtyard, Taiyuan came late after getting dressed, but this time it was more refined, with half an exquisite gold mask on his face to cover his burnt face, and a cloak with a fox fur edge on his body, She became more and more graceful, luxurious, charming and bright, without any trace of burns.

Seeing the elegant and upright Huo Ying, she lifted the curtain and smiled lightly, and walked in: "I visit three times a month, Mr. Huo is not afraid of gossip from outsiders."

Huo Ying saluted, stood up straight with a straight face, and said, "I came here because I want to meet someone from the princess' dungeon."

"Didn't you see it?" Taiyuan became a little impatient: "That guy pretended to be smart, and he vomited some unknown things a few days ago. I thought it was ridiculous, and I ordered someone to pull out his tongue."

Tongue pulled out?

Huo Ying frowned, this was not what he wanted to hear.

"The last time he spoke nonsense, did Mr. Huo believe it?" Taiyuan looked at Huo Ying with great interest: "Since the absurd incident 17 years ago, the emperor has hated these people who confuse people with evil words. If his words If it reaches the emperor's ears, you and I will suffer."

Huo Ying didn't say a word, he knew best if he was bewitching the crowd with gossip, there is indeed a group of intruders in Wei today, they know that they have their own abilities in the future, if they can't all be controlled, there will be chaos.

It's just that the emperor is getting old, and he has become more and more suspicious these years. If he mentions this matter hastily, he will definitely treat it as a monster. , The naked massacre made Wei keep secret about witchcraft and incantations.

"Lord Huo?" He didn't answer, and Taiyuan's voice became a little higher.

Huo Ying then bowed: "Yes, thank you princess for reminding me."

He is a smart man, Taiyuan knew he would not make this matter a big deal, so naturally he didn't want to waste his time talking, got up to leave, but was stopped again.

"I don't know what happened to the child who came to the princess mansion as a guest?" Huo Ying didn't forget this.

If it was money and sex, he naturally couldn't care about it, but Taiyuan brought people back just to make lanterns for skinning, and a little carelessness would kill a person, so he couldn't ignore it.

"He, the person who killed me ran away." Mentioning this matter, Taiyuan gritted his teeth: "If Mr. Huo catches him, you have to tell me. It's the first time I've seen such a bold boy."

Ran?Or did he kill someone and run away?

Huo Ying was surprised and a little bit unbelievable, but after thinking about it, Taiyuan didn't need to lie at all, she was always proud.

"Oh, that's right." Taiyuan remembered something: "That kid called himself Song Yuan, and said he was the son of King Zhongshan."

Huo Ying frowned immediately: "The Ninth Young Master of Zhongshan Prince's Mansion?"

The crown prince and the King of Zhongshan are fighting with each other. He lives in the middle and pays close attention to their affairs. Naturally, he also knows about the ninth son Song Yuan running away from home.

A few days ago, the prince of the Wang's mansion sent people to the capital to greet him, and even went to the Tingwei's mansion to inquire, let him pay attention, and repeatedly explained that if you run into that ninth son, you are welcome to tie him up.

Hearing the news of Song Yuan now, Huo Ying naturally couldn't help but take his leave. After saying goodbye, he immediately arranged for officials to find someone.

After hearing what he said, the official suddenly realized: "That's not surprising. I have heard people say that the humble official has already heard that the young man had a very good appearance and was easily recognized by others. He was taken away today. The child is on the right track."

"It's even more troublesome if you match up." Huo Ying didn't see joy: "Just walking around the street can provoke the common people to report the crime. People who went in and out of the city gate were not found. Is it because the guards at the city gate are blind, or are they from the various government offices?" Are you blind? Don’t you think it’s weird that a living person pops up out of nowhere?”

The official opened his mouth, but couldn't answer, swallowed his saliva before hurriedly said: "The humble official will arrange someone to look for it immediately."

"Also, let's do it ahead of time." Huo Ying held the bell he picked up in his hand.

He is now convinced that those intruders have a close connection with Liang He, and Liang He stumbled in the palace today, which is a good time for him to do it.

On the other side, Song Yuan went back to Hualou, but did not see Liang He, guessing that he should have gone out.

He is a person with an official position, he has to go to the court early, go to the palace to perform affairs, and he has to go to the Yamen to do shifts. Naturally, he has to go home to pay his respects to his parents and fulfill his filial piety. It is impossible to stay here all day long.

The others were all in their own rooms, and now they were all being targeted by Huo Ying and became wanted criminals, so naturally they had to be more careful.

Wearing a human skin mask, Song Yuan was about to leave when Zhou Ye came out, glanced at her, and went out without saying anything. Song Yuan thought about it and followed.

They sat down in a teahouse not far from Hualou, and they hadn't eaten all day. Song Yuan was so hungry that he devoured half a bowl of rice before regaining some energy. Seeing Zhou Ye heading towards Hualou Look, just ask, "Do you think something will happen?"

"Yeah." Zhou Ye's face was solemn: "I heard from Xu Yingrong that people from Tingwei Mansion went last night."

Song Yuan nodded: "Well, I didn't find anything. Although it was dangerous, it was safe."

"Huo Ying never wastes his time. If he went there in person, he has full confidence. Even if he didn't find anything, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have evidence of Liang He practicing witchcraft."

So powerful Yan Jin?

Song Yuan became interested: "What is Huo Ying's background? He is so ostentatious and sharp, and he is not afraid of offending people."

The corners of Zhou Ye's mouth twitched: "He is nobody. Huo Ying was born in a poor family. He had to be recommended to be an official at the age of 16. He followed his teacher Zhang Dai to learn the law and judge the case. Tu Yi was questioned and sent to prison to die, Huo Ying was sentenced to exile, and a year ago, Huo Ying was suddenly promoted to court lieutenant."
