Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 52 Death of Huo Chi

Everyone was listening to the official's reply seriously, but a sudden voice directly focused everyone's attention on Huo Xian.

Wang looked puzzled: "Xian'er, what did you just say?"

"I said, I can prove it is true. My son was attacked by rogue bandits on his way back to Beijing. They are all very skilled. If General Liu hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the child wouldn't have returned alive."

Huo Xian didn't want to tell anyone about Huailin's attack. Although it was dangerous, he survived after all. Liu Yu was in charge of handling it, so there was no need for him to investigate.What's the point of telling this apart from causing trouble to the family?
But now it seems that the matter is not as simple as it seems, and it even involves Huo Chi's death. If he deliberately conceals it, he will let the people behind him go and be unable to find the real culprit.Therefore, he decided to tell the truth.

"What? Attacked!" Wang exclaimed.

As soon as Huo Xian's words came out, doubts arose in the hearts of everyone present. After thinking about it carefully, a little panic emerged from their hearts.

Huo Chi clearly said that he was going to play with the son of Shang Shufu, so why did he appear in Huailin?
And why Huo Xian was attacked in Huailin?
Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

Huo Ruhai and his wife looked at each other, and they both understood the suspicion in each other's eyes.

The officer continued following Huo Xian's words: "What Young Master Huo said is correct, and it is consistent with what General Liu said. In fact, Master Yao suspects that this so-called robbery case may have something to do with Young Master Huo."

The eyes of everyone present were wide-eyed in disbelief. In their eyes, Huo Chi had always been a weak scholar who couldn't even handle the important bow and arrow. His eyes were usually higher than the top, and he looked down on people who were inferior to him. Why? Will it get involved with rogues?
After hearing this, Mrs. Qi didn't even bother to cry. She stepped forward and pushed the officer hard, and screamed like crazy: "Are you crazy! Everyone is dead, and we still want to Throw dirty water on Brother Chi!"

The officials didn't seem to have expected that a wife of the Qi family would behave so vulgarly, without understanding the general principles, and the remaining sympathy in her heart disappeared.The Qi family didn't think about it carefully, if there was no real evidence of the crime, would Mr. Yao dare to suspect the official son at will?He is such a small official, how dare he guess the mind of the Shangguan?
He lost his patience and frowned:

"There are all witnesses and evidences. First, Master Huo Er's carriage was found next to the ruined temple less than ten miles away from Huailin. There were also tea-tasting utensils in it. Even the tea was from Yuqian Longjing tea." At first sight, I knew that the second young master was not kidnapped. Second, a coachman next to the carriage fell to the ground with an arrow, but he was still breathing. Since then, he has been guarding in Huailin, as if he was waiting for someone. The most important thing is that the seal of the Marquis of Zhenyuan was found on Master Huo Er..."

The meaning of this official post, how come it seems that Huo Chi wants to murder Huo Xian?

This guess shocked everyone, even Huo Qi, who had been hiding behind watching the play, couldn't help his heart skip a beat, and a fine layer of sweat oozed from his hands.However, Huo Xian was attacked and Huo Chi died suddenly, all of these things were under her control, what surprised her was the seal of the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion that suddenly appeared...

In just a few seconds, she had already guessed that it was Shen Yuning's handwriting, and the seal of the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion was in Shen Yuning's hands, and this matter was definitely inseparable from him.It's no wonder that in the middle of the night, Shen Yuning unexpectedly appeared in Huailin at an untimely time, and she really had a plan.

But what is his purpose in doing this?
The air froze for a few seconds, but the official spoke again: "Now the Jingzhao Mansion speculates that those rogues are most likely the soldiers of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion. It was Marquis Zhenyuan who ordered the second young master of the Huo family to murder the young master. Killed..."

Every sentence of the official's words was more frightening, Huo Ruhai's complexion suddenly turned livid, Wang's usually gentle face also showed a bit of evil spirit, even the crying Qi and the upset Huo Rushan were stunned.

Huo Xian's eyes were heavy, staring at the ground not knowing what he was thinking.

After hearing these words, Huo Qi couldn't help trembling his eyelashes when he thought of what happened last night.

Yesterday, Shen Yuning said two meaningful words, one was "a worthy death" and the other was "repayment for today's deeds".Shen Yuning's move was probably to use her hands to swallow the soldiers in Yuan Xianzhi's hands. At the same time, she dealt with Huo Chi's death openly, and also poured a bucket of dirty water on Zhenyuan Hou Mansion!
What a gangster!

What a plan to kill three birds with one stone!
But what she didn't expect was that this matter fell into the hands of Master Yao.I don't know if it was a simple accident or Shen Yuning did it on purpose.

She knew a little about the newly appointed Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion. She was a good official who was upright and upright, and fearless of the powerful. Even in front of Emperor Xiaowen, her spine was straight and straight, and she was deeply trusted by Emperor Xiaowen.This matter fell into his hands, I'm afraid it will not be so easy to settle.

Just as Huo Qi thought about this, the official added another sentence, as if he wanted to prepare the Huo family: "This is a big matter, Mr. Yao has already heard from heaven, and His Majesty should have known about it. Now the words have brought Come on, the little one has to go back to Master Yao, so I’ll take my leave first.”

After saying that, he turned and left.

Mrs. Wang was the first to come to her senses, but she was still frightened at this moment: "So, the reason why you didn't go back directly to your home yesterday was because you were attacked? Why didn't you tell mother and your father directly?"

Huo Xian snorted coldly: "My child is not in danger after all. Saying it will only make you worried. However, my child is very happy at this moment. If this incident hadn't happened, he wouldn't have known that there were some wolves, tigers and leopards hidden in the house!"

Huo Xian has always been gentle. It is rare that when he speaks so harshly, what he says is aimed at the second wife of the Huo family. It is no wonder that Huo Qi has such a calm expression when he hears that Huo Chi has died. It also made him very strange.He didn't have any feelings for the whole second room, but now he feels even more disgusted.

After the death of her son, Mrs. Qi was worried that no one would vent her anger. When she heard what Huo Xianyi had pointed out, she immediately cried like crazy: "Brother Xian, do you mean to scold our second wife? Now that brother Chi is dead, how dare you How can you still say such rude words!"

Huo Qi suddenly said coldly: "Auntie, please be careful. As my aunt said before, didn't the second brother go to drink with the son of the Shangshufu? It's so good, how could it go to Huailin? It's really a miracle Now his death is involved in Zhenyuan Hou's mansion. In a small way, it is the murder of his brother. In a big way, in the boundary of the capital, there are so many privately raised soldiers under the emperor's feet. It is suspected of treason Not too much!"

After finishing speaking, Huo Qi summoned two servants beside him and ordered them to carry all the rewards that Huo Xian got into the warehouse.It stands to reason that normally, whatever rewards the first room gets, it is inevitable to give some to the second room, but this time it changed from normal. Huo Qi's move made it clear that he wanted to deliberately disgust people.

The Qi family is an ignorant woman who can't stand being frightened. She cast her eyes on Huo Rushan in a panic, but saw that his face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.She also lost her mind, and cried: "I'm dead! None of you brothers and sisters have a conscience!"

When Mrs. Wang saw both her children being insulted by Mrs. Qi, and thought of Huo Xian's almost death, she felt a hint of anger on her face: "Last night, Xian'er had a narrow escape from death? Now Mr. Yao suspects that Brother Chi murdered Xian'er. Although Brother Chi died pitifully, but the truth may not be in his favor!"

"You!" Qi yelled angrily.

The main courtyard became noisy, and even many servants were whispering in the distance.

Huo Ruhai's originally clear face suddenly flushed red: "Stop arguing! Huo Chi's coffin will be brought back later, so let's deal with his funeral first. Your Majesty will make a decision on this matter, and I will definitely not let it go." The person who killed Xian'er!"

After finishing speaking, Huo Ruhai walked away in a huff. Wang Shi seemed to have something to say, so she closely followed his steps.

People who have always been mild are often more feared when they suddenly become angry.When Qi saw that Huo Ruhai, who had never put on airs at home, became angry, and said that he would investigate this matter strictly, he hated and was anxious.

Although she talked bravely, she also knew that Huo Chi's murder of Huo Xian was by no means impossible. If Huo Chi really did this, I'm afraid Huo Ruhai would not let their second wife go.Thinking of this, Mrs. Qi didn't care about being playful anymore, grabbed Huo Rushan's sleeve and walked towards the east courtyard.

After everyone left, Huo Xian found that Huo Qi was still standing there, lost in thought.The draft in the hall made Huo Qibi's clothes rattle, his pair of black eyebrows were filled with sorrow, he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, Huo Xian found out that although Huo Qi's appearance hadn't changed at all, her demeanor, demeanor and speech had undergone earth-shaking changes.If it is said that Huo Qi used to be a clear spring that could see the bottom at a glance, but now it is a well and secluded pool, and the boundary cannot be seen.

After all, Huo Qi grew up secretly in a corner that he hadn't noticed.

He asked an inquiring question: "Sister, did you already know about Huo Chi's sudden death?"

Huo Qi came back to his senses, a camellia-like smile appeared on his face, and he shook his head gently: "I don't know."
