Chapter 351 It's time to close the case

Zhao Su took Wang Yin's case file and watched him strode out of the door, then walked towards Shaoqing's room in Dali Temple.

In Shaoqing's office, Marquis Jingnan was frowning at the seat, and a portrait in his hand was fixedly held by him, as if it was stuck to his hands.

Shaoqing said: "There is really clues under this reward notice, which is really unexpected. Could it be that the Marquis has seen this person?"

Jingnan Hou slowly put down the portrait: "No. I have never seen it. I just seemed to have heard of it somewhere, and some merchants committed the crime."

Shaoqing looked over deeply: "There was a merchant with the same characteristics in the wanted notice approved by the imperial court a few days ago."

Marquis Jingnan looked at him: "What case does the notice a few days ago involve?"

"We don't know that the Ganqing Palace issued a direct order. However, it is said that the two days ago, the relationship between Cheng Liang, the Ministry of Works, and Tang You, the Ministry of Personnel, seemed to be in harmony with the empress dowager. The festival had been resolved. This matter was not a matter of no end. I am afraid that the Qin criminal had some connection with the grudges between them."

"What do you mean is that the conflict between the Tang and Cheng families is caused by someone who is determined?"

"As the minister of the case trial, the subordinates dare not speak out without evidence. However, the Tang Cheng family is both the Empress Dowager, the eldest princess is also a member of the royal family, and is also a rare outstanding woman in the world. This person is targeting the Empress Dowager and appears under the notice posted by Weiyuanhou. Isn't this sign of malicious intention revealed?"

Shaoqing sneered twice, then picked up the tea.

Jingnan Hou looked at him for a moment and said, "Sir, it seems that he knows some inside story?"

Shaoqing stopped, looked at him, then covered the tea bowl with his elbow and looked to him side: "I heard that the Cheng family had some problems with the engagement between Cheng and Tang families. As for the problem, it was not important. What is important is that they chose these two companies to start. In terms of their status, no matter how big the two families were, they would not cause any major storm in the court. But for the Empress Dowager - the Marquis thought about it, did they come for the Empress Dowager?"

Marquis Jingnan looked at him steadily, as if holding his breath.

"Sir, Miss Su from the Qingyun Marquis's Mansion is here."

The yamen runners came in to report and interrupted their conversation.

The two looked at the door and saw Zhao Su walking in with a smile on her lips. Seeing the Marquis of Jingnan in the room, she paused, and a little surprise appeared in her eyes, and then she smiled and said hello: "The Marquis is here too."

Marquis Jingnan stood up, nodded, and moved his eyes down to the file in her hand: "Is there anything wrong?"

"Oh," Zhao Su handed the file to Shaoqing, "I just met General Wang Yin, and he rushed to ask me to hand it over to the Lord."

Marquis Jingnan said: "You are very familiar with Wang Yin?"

"I'm not very familiar with it, probably just because I can trust me, the lady from the Qingyun Marquis' Mansion."

Zhao Su pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled.

The Marquis of Jingnan said nothing and glanced at Shaoqing: "You guys talk, I have something to do, let's go first."

Seeing that he hadn't continued chatting, Zhao Su looked at him and walked out of the door before turning around. He smiled at Shaoqing again: "Sir?"

...

Marquis Jingnan left the Dali Temple yamen, walked on his horse, and followed the crowd. When he passed by the Huo family, he stopped, and then continued to move forward and returned to the Yu family.

The wife of Marquis Jingnan was in Yu Qingtong's room. When she heard that he was back, she quickly came out. She walked so quickly that her demeanor was a little confused. However, Marquis Jingnan did not care, but went straight into the study and silently untied the cloak and handed it to her.

Mrs. Jingnan Hou was a little pleased: "Have you ever had a meal?"

Marquis Jingnan sat down, frowned and pondered for a while, "Have you ever gone out these days?"

The wife of Marquis Jingnan was puzzled by his intentions for a moment and never answered. Marquis Jingnan said, "When you are out, have you heard any wind?"

Mrs. Jingnan still didn't react, and Naran said: "Who is the news?"

"Weiyuan Marquis Mansion." said the Marquis Jingnan, "Didn't you say you want to get close to the girl from the Huo family? Haven't been there recently?"

Marquis Jingnan was embarrassed. She had always had this idea, trying to get familiar with his daughter Yu Qingtong and Huo Xiu through contact with Huo Mingyu. However, the Huo brothers and sisters acted without any leakage, and she still has not found an effective way to get closer.

"I haven't gone out much lately, but the princess hasn't come out much either."

Jingnan Hou Yu glanced at her: "I heard that Yanping fell and injured two days ago. After all, our two families have a very good relationship. If you have nothing to do, you can go and have a look on my behalf."

Mrs. Jingnan did not expect that he would give him permission and immediately said, "What happened? I don't know! I naturally have to go and see it. - I will take Sister Tong to prepare some gifts to visit."

Marquis Jingnan nodded.

However, the wife of Marquis Jingnan did not rush to leave and stood there. She looked at him and said, "Master, I don't know whether I should ask or not."

Marquis Jingnan glanced at her.

The wife said: "You and I have been with us for more than 20 years. We know that the affairs of the court are closely related. Therefore, in the past, the master would speak freely with me whenever he had any problems, but recently he has been related to Marquis Weiyuan, but the master..."

There is no need to say much about the rest, she believes he understands.

Sure enough, the Marquis of Jingnan returned, his brows frowned for a while, and said, "Their family's affairs were strange this time. Moreover, it became even more strange."

"What's strange about it?"

Marquis Jingnan looked at her: "You don't know anything else. A few days ago, they were talking about the princess's achievements everywhere on the streets and alleys. Have you ever heard of this?"

“…heard.”

"This shows that there are still people who are struggling for the eldest princess."

Mrs. Jingnan Hou was stunned: "You mean... are the Huo brothers and sisters?"

"Who knows?" Jingnan Hou stood up and walked to the window with his hands behind his back. "In short, if she hadn't died back then, there would be a female prince in the court. If she died, everything would have changed."

The wife of Marquis Jingnan's expression changed: "Is this true different from your highness's death?...Who did it?!"

The Marquis of Jingnan was silent.

"master……"

The Marquis of Jingnan did not reply: "It's not too late, you should go and prepare."

The wife of Marquis Jingnan was suddenly stunned, and finally stopped and walked out.

Marquis Jingnan looked at the entourage outside the window: "Send a post to the Huo family and say I'll invite the Marquis to have tea."

...

Huo Xiu received a post from Jingnan Hou in the evening.

Long San said: "He is probably asking for an appointment for the information thrown by the Marquis. Will the Marquis go?"

Huo Xiu glanced at his tight bandaged arms and his bloodless face, but asked, "Where is Duan Shu?"

Long Sanwei paused: "He has left, Yao Lin sent him out of the city."

A hint of loneliness appeared between Huo Xiu's eyebrows: "Just Sister Yu has to leave too. When I find a chance, you can go with her."

"...I'm afraid that people will not be released in the palace."

"So I said I wanted to find an opportunity."

Long San said for a moment: "We are all leaving. Is the Marquis planning to fight alone?"

"At this moment, it's not a solution to stay dormant."

"What will the marquis plan to do?"

Huo Xiu stared at the window for a while and said slowly: "First tear open the fig leaf of the Flower Moon Club, so that the world can see how useless this so-called welfare for women in the world is."

"Did the Marquis have a plan?"

Huo Xiu lowered his head and looked at the post sent by the Marquis of Jingnan, then picked it up and said, "The case of the remnant armor should be settled. Everyone knew it at the beginning, and it always had to be a little bit of a move to close the case. If you ask Yao Lin to go back to Marquis of Jingnan, it means that I would invite him to have tea at Qixinglou at night.

"At the Huayue Club, some people stare at them carefully and find out some of their flaws."

"yes."

Long San retreated.

Huo Xiu looked at the empty garden for a while, stood up and went out.
