Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 75 Reinvestigating the Huangzhuang Massacre Case

She didn't go back to the palace that night, she was still staying at home and was washing her feet when Wei Yan who went to inquire about the news came.

"There is martial law outside. It is said that the murderer's arrow skills are very good. He hits with a single blow from a distance of a hundred steps. The eyes and ears of the Tingwei Mansion tracked down the murderer at that time. In the end, he went around and lost him. They all said it was a vendetta."

Chunyang was stunned when he heard this: "Vendetta? What kind of enemies can a lady who doesn't go out of her way to go out of the door provoke? It can't be because of the separation of the Hou Mansion, right?"

"Where is the family divided? As for murder, I have heard people say that it is possible that the girl who was abandoned by Liang He came to seek revenge. I am afraid that the girl has nowhere to go, but as long as this kind of thing is not yelled, the girl's family can still live, but the people in the Weitinghou Mansion yelled it out. As long as the relatives reconcile the accounts, they can Guess who it is, so I directly kill and retaliate." Wei Yan said vividly, and there is some truth to it.

Song Yuan was surprised when he heard this: "I think this statement is very reasonable."

Xiao Shen glanced at her: "Where is it reasonable? A girl who elopes must not dare to go home. It is not easy to survive. Where does she have the ability and money to hire murderers? Besides, if she really has this ability, Why bother to be bullied by a group of women?"

"That's right." Wei Yan patted his head: "I'll just say it's weird, this guess is not reasonable at all."

Song Yuan still wanted to talk, but she was glared at by Xiao Shen: "It's rare to come back, go to rest earlier, and it's none of your business, what do you care so much about?"

"Got it." Song Yuan wiped his feet and left angrily.

Song Yuan entered the palace early the next morning, and when he got to the gate of the palace, he ran into Huo Ying, who also saw Song Yuan, and deliberately stopped and waited: "Master, did you leave the palace yesterday?"

"Well, please ask the emperor to go out of the palace to visit my mother. Master Huo knows that I am very attached to my mother." Song Yuan entered the palace with him: "Master Huo came here because of the Wei Ting Hou Mansion? "

Huo Ying held the memorabilia in his hand, and looked forward as he walked: "Your master also knows?"

"How could you not know about such a big battle? When my aunt heard the news, I happened to be eating in her room, so I heard it naturally. Wei Yan also said that everyone outside guessed that the girl who was abandoned at the beginning came back to take revenge. "

Huo Ying's expression was flat: "It hasn't been verified yet, so I dare not jump to conclusions. I came here today because of the massacre of Huangzhuang."

"Master Huo has thoroughly investigated it?" Song Yuan still admired the speed of his investigation: "How many people have been recruited?"

Huo Ying stopped slightly: "Young master, you might as well guess who the murderer is behind the scenes."

"It must be related to the East Palace." Song Yuan was purely guessing.

Huo Ying was not surprised, and continued to walk forward: "When testifying, you may need the help of your son."

"It's ok. Master Huo just ask if you have something to do. I will help where I can." She was very enthusiastic.

Huo Ying felt that something was wrong: "Young master, don't you cause trouble? If you don't have anything to do, you can either rape or steal."

This made Song Yuan unhappy: "You are really a dog face, if you help me, you will be suspicious of me, so I won't help."

As soon as she turned her head, she quickened her pace, and Huo Ying also quickened her pace when she saw this.

When we arrived at the Taihua Hall, Huo Ying went to discuss the state affairs first, Song Yuan waited outside, and soon Chang De came out, standing outside with a solemn expression, as if something bad had happened inside.

"Bastard!" Emperor Taikang was furious.

Song Yuan no longer had the previous fear of this. Emperor Taikang was like an old lion, usually dormant, but when his authority was challenged, he roared to the sky, trying to regain his prestige, but his claws were no longer sharp. The old lion is not too scary.

After Emperor Taikang roared, there was no other sound coming out of the room, and Song Yuan was not in a hurry, she had confidence in Huo Ying, if he hadn't been absolutely sure to convince Emperor Taikang, he would not have entered the palace.

"Come here." Emperor Taikang spoke, and Changde hurried in after hearing the words, and came out after a while to invite Song Yuan to go in too.

In the hall, Huo Ying stood aside with his back straight, with a calm expression and no emotional fluctuations.

"Did you fall off the cliff and be hunted down?" Emperor Taikang's eyes fell on Song Yuan.

Song Yuan didn't dare to be sloppy, and his tone was affirmative: "Yes, grandson remembers that day when he was hunting in autumn, he walked the wrong way because he was greedy for fun, and saw the stream was stained with blood, so he went up the river, and immediately hid after finding a few floating corpses, and saw it with his own eyes. I saw a group of people massacring common people, and when I left in panic, I was discovered, and then I was chased all the way, causing me to fall off a cliff, and I was assassinated several times after waking up."

Emperor Taikang believed her words to a certain extent, and his face became more and more ugly: "Check carefully, and you can't let go of a single bit. I want to know how many other cases like this have been suppressed."

"Yes." When they went out together, Huo Ying immediately clasped his fists: "I'm afraid I have to trouble you to go out of the palace with the officials, and take a look at the place where you fell off the cliff."

Song Yuan was full of surprise: "It's been two years, Master Huo thinks there is still evidence? '

"It's been two years, and the other party hasn't killed the young master. It's unreasonable." He meant something.

Song Yuan laughed angrily: "What? Master Huo thinks this matter is still related to the palace? Do you think it is possible that the palace blamed the East Palace?"

"What is the truth, we will only find out when we find out." Huo Ying did not deny it.

Song Yuan was stunned, and followed him out of the palace with a dark face.

Huo Ying took her to Huangzhuang first. Huangzhuang was directly managed by the Inner Court Secretary. The rice, grain and sericulture planted here were all for Emperor Taikang's use. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was Taikang Emperor's private treasury. Three hundred acres of land is not too big, and the harvest is not absolutely good. The tenants responsible for farming are ordinary people.

Such a place is neither valuable, nor is there any way to hide anything privately. It can’t be just for the rice that was supplied to Emperor Taikang. Song Yuan really couldn’t understand why someone would kill someone in such a place.

As soon as the officials of Tingwei's Mansion arrived, they sent all the tenants in Zhuangzi to other places for questioning. These tenants were all recruited after the incident. Although they had heard about what happened in Zhuangzi, they didn't know the specific situation. After some inquiries, there was not much gain.

Huo Ying looked from room to room. He looked very carefully, even stomping on the floor.

"What? Mr. Huo suspects that there is a secret room in this place?" Song Yuan leaned on the door frame, seeing him check so carefully, he felt that he was too cautious.

Huo Ying turned a deaf ear to it, and only answered after a careful investigation: "What reason do you think, Master, will people kill a group of tenants?"

"Anyway, it's not for the sake of embarrassing the emperor."

Huo Ying felt that this answer made sense and was nonsense, so he nodded and continued to check his own.

Song Yuan looked around, feeling extremely bored, she even wanted to go to An Zhou to ask about the details of the Huangzhuang massacre, so as to save herself from guessing.
