Just as they were about to leave Widow Zhang's yard, suddenly, there was a scream outside the gate...

"Ahhh..., no good, I killed someone."

The five little guys immediately looked at each other. Oh no, they were discovered. Maybe they thought they killed Widow Zhang. Then they would be too unjustly blamed for taking the blame.

"Brothers and sisters, the situation remains unchanged, let's leave quickly." Huo Dong shouted in a low voice, and then he jumped out of the fence first and ran away.

When Huo Nan, Huo Xi, Huo Bei and Huo Zhong saw their eldest brother leaving, they also ran after him.

"Fuck, little master, wait for me." The little bird smelled a strong demonic aura and was looking around in the room. Suddenly it found five little masters running away, and it immediately flapped its wings and flew out.

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Widow Zhang's yard was crowded with people.

There are people from the government and there are neighbors.

Everyone was talking and talking non-stop...

"Oh, what a retribution. My husband died two days ago, and now my daughter-in-law is also dead. What evil has the Zhang family committed?"

"Do you need to say more? I married a slut who doesn't follow the rules of women. If it weren't for her, would the Zhang family be extinct?"

"That's right. Widow Zhang is so vicious. She actually killed her own man and husband in order to have an affair with a wild man."

Everyone was talking about it, but they still didn't dare to say the name of that wild man.

After all, the Taiwei has a high position of power. What if he is angered and killed and silenced?

Of course, there are also people who are not afraid of death.

In the crowd, a man asked: "Brother, official officer, Brother Zhang was killed that year. Although Widow Zhang is dead and there is no way to hold her accountable, there is still an adulterer? How do you plan to deal with it?" "

"We have all seen with our own eyes that Widow Zhang's adulterer is the Taiwei, who kills people to pay for their lives. You can't protect each other, you must handle the case impartially."

"That's right, kill for life, kill for life, give justice to the dead, and officials can't protect each other." One person started to say, and the others got bolder and started to boo.

Seeing the angry crowd at the scene, the arresting officer started sweating on his forehead. In order to calm the public's anger, he had to raise his hands to signal everyone to calm down, and then said loudly: "Fellows and fellow villagers, don't worry. The emperor has always said that the prince has violated the law. , the book people are all guilty.”

"So, if the court official really broke the law, we will never cover it up. Just wait patiently for the results."

After hearing this, the people were very satisfied, nodded and said...

"Okay, with this sentence, we can feel relieved."

In the crowd, a man wearing a bamboo hat turned dark when he heard these words. Zhao Shangshu's men were too arrogant to try to deal with him? This is really unreasonable.

He turned around and walked away quietly.

Shangshu Mansion.

At noon, the housekeeper hurried into the study carrying a lot of gifts and said to Zhao Shangshu...

"Master, the Taiwei Mansion has sent a gift."

"Don't accept it, don't accept it, go back." Zhao Shangshu waved his hand impatiently.

There has just been a murder case in the capital, and it is still related to the Taiwei. Now that he is sending gifts, even fools know what he means.

The housekeeper said with an embarrassed look on his face...

"But the person who gave me the gift has left."

"gone?"

Zhao Shangshu raised his head. Obviously, the other party wanted to give it away forcefully.

The housekeeper nodded with a look of helplessness on his face. The other person put down the things and left, and there was nothing he could do.

Zhao Shangshu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said...

"Send someone back."

Don't ask for gifts, otherwise, he will be in trouble.

After all, Prince Zhan personally appointed him to handle this case. What if something unexpected happened? How can he explain to the prince?

The butler asked cautiously: "Sir, if we do this, will we offend the captain?"

Zhao Shangshu glared and said, "When he was greedy for our family heirloom, he was not afraid of offending me. Why am I still afraid of him? It's just a joke."

"Besides, I enforce the law impartially and don't accept bribes. What's wrong with that?"

The housekeeper nodded and said...

"Yes, the master is right. I will immediately send someone to return the gift to the Taiwei Mansion."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Taiwei Mansion.

The Taiwei was walking around in the study, restless, waiting for his subordinates to come back and report the gift.

At this time, the concierge hurriedly walked in and reported that an envoy from Xiasha Kingdom was visiting and was waiting at the gate.

The Taiwei was stunned for a moment. The envoy from the Xiasha Kingdom came to the Juxing Kingdom. He also knew that he had met Xia Yuanbo in the palace. There was no interaction between them after that. Why did he come to the Taiwei Mansion today?

However, as an envoy from a neighboring country, Xia Yuanbo still had to be well received when he came to visit him.

Save yourself the trouble of making the emperor unhappy.

"Invite him to the hall and greet him well. I will change my clothes and come back later."

"Yes."

The butler agreed, turned around and hurried away.

hall.

The rectangular table is covered with various gifts.

Xia Yuanbo was wearing a blue robe, sitting on the right side, holding up the tea cup, and drinking tea elegantly.

At this time, the Taiwei and the housekeeper hurried in from the gate, smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, what brought you to the Taiwei's residence today? I am really flattered."

Xia Yuanbo put down his tea cup, stood up, greeted the Taiwei politely, and said...

"I've been in the capital for so many days, and I'm grateful to you and the officials from the DPRK for taking care of me. It's just that I just came to Juxing Kingdom, and I haven't had time to visit Lord Taiwei. I feel guilty, so I took the time to come here today to visit Lord Taiwei."

"These gifts are not valuable, but they represent my thoughts. I hope you will accept them."

He said it very modestly.

After hearing this, the Taiwei was very pleased and said with a smile...

"Mr. Xia, you can just come. Why bring gifts? Doesn't it make us look unfamiliar?"

"This is the most basic courtesy of being a human being, and you should do it."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat down to chat.

At this time, his subordinates hurriedly came in to report that the gifts had been sent to Shangshu Mansion.

After hearing this, the Taiwei finally felt relieved.

Shangshu accepted the gift and said that he would not pursue Widow Zhang's case anymore.
