After rebirth, I became the favorite of my scumbag brother

Chu Mo worked together with people from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to investigate the case, so their efficiency was naturally not bad. But this time it was surprisingly smooth and they found out a lot of things.

It went so smoothly that it was a little unbelievable to everyone. For example, the origin of the brocade box was unknown. There were two copies, and the one in Xiao Qin's hand had been destroyed long ago.

But the royal family of Beirao kept this item well. It was because Bai Zhuo found some clues in Beirao this time that Song Xiao went to interrogate Zhao Jingxuan on purpose.

It was learned that the brocade box was stolen by Xiao Qin at that time. Because the spies from Beirao found out that the brocade box contained the secrets of the Beirao royal family, Xiao Qin did not dare to destroy the brocade box directly. He also wanted to open the box to control the Beirao royal family.

The box had only been in Xiao Qin's hands for a short time. If he hadn't wanted to control the Beirao royal family, the brocade box would have been destroyed long ago.

But in fact, it was just a smokescreen released by the Beirao royal family to confuse people.

Now that there is physical evidence, Xiao Qin admitted to having contact with Bei Rao, but he refused to admit to being a loyal servant because no one could prove that it was his people who broke into the Bai family mansion and killed people when Bai Hainian was on the battlefield.

Later, Chu Mo and others found a villa of the Xiao family hidden in the mountains, where there were assassins raised by the Xiao family. Those assassins had a goshawk tattoo on their left arms.

One of the people caught was a person who had experienced the incident with the Bai family. That person was abducted and had lived in the Xiao family's villa for many years. Chu Mo tried many methods but failed to pry open that person's mouth.

In the end, Song Xiao went to interrogate the man personally. It was unknown what method Song Xiao used, but the man confessed.

It turned out that when the Bai family army was besieged, the place where the Bai family women and children were was originally safe. In addition, the Bai family had a deep foundation, so Bai Hainian felt at ease to go into battle.

Xiao Qin temporarily suspended the advance of the reinforcements and only appeared when the Bai family army was exhausted. He had a slight exchange of views with the Beirao army and gained military merit, but the Bai family members were killed by Xiao Qin's death squads, and even the Bai Hainian brothers were killed by Xiao Qin's men.

This result made Chu Mo and others gasp. Chu Mo had guarded the northern border for many years and knew that it was not easy to be there. However, he did not expect that the Bai family, who had guarded the northern border for so many years, would be plotted against.

After these things were presented to the Imperial Study, the Emperor was furious and interrogated Xiao Qin in court, but Xiao Qin denied the murder of loyal officials and insisted that the affairs of the Bai family had nothing to do with him.

So far, the Bai family case has reached a stalemate...

After several days, there was still no progress on the matter, and some people in the capital were in a panic.

Seeing that the situation had come to a standstill, many people began to plead for him, believing that the killing of the women and children of the Bai family was not something that could be debated, that Marquis Jingbei was wrong, but that not all the blame could be put on him.

Seeing that more and more people were pleading for Marquis Jingbei, one day, a jailer came into the cell where Xiao Qin was imprisoned. No one knew what he said, but Xiao Qin, contrary to his usual behavior, laughed out loud, as if he was crazy, and finally asked to see Chu Mo.

On the second day, after the morning court session, relevant personnel gathered in the main hall to conduct the final trial of Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qin was wearing prison clothes, with his hands and feet chained, looking very different from his usual majestic appearance. He was escorted to the palace, and he looked at the people in the palace. They were all powerful people in the capital who held real power.

Xiao Qin first saluted the emperor, and the emperor gestured to the eldest prince. Chu Mo stood up and said, "Xiao Qin, you signed a contract with Beirao in private, abandoned the entire northern border, delayed the arrival of reinforcements, caused the Bai family army to be annihilated, and sent assassins to kill the women and children of the Bai family. Do you admit this?"

Xiao Qin laughed loudly and said, "The Bai family deserves to die, but it has nothing to do with me. I signed the contract and I recognize it, but I don't recognize the Bai family's affairs."

The emperor was sitting at the top and looking at the crazy Xiao Qin, he felt a little anxious. Then someone began to raise objections, thinking that it was too far-fetched to conclude that Xiao Qin was responsible for the incident of the women and children of the Bai family based on the one-sided statement of the dead soldiers.

There was a quarrel in the hall for a while, and the Emperor felt a splitting headache. Just when everyone was arguing and there were no other witnesses, Song Xiao suddenly spoke.

"There are other witnesses!"

He was originally a martial artist, and his voice was like a loud bell. As soon as he finished speaking, the whole hall fell silent, and everyone looked at Song Xiao for a moment.

Chu Mo was also a little surprised. "May I ask where is the witness that General Song mentioned?"

Song Xiao looked at Xiao Qin and said, "It's me!"

For a moment, everyone was confused, but Xiao Qin seemed to have suddenly realized something, "So it was you!"

Song Xiao smiled and said, "My original name was Bai Yuyan, and Bai Hainian is my father! Those assassins who broke into my house back then all had goshawk tattoos on their bodies, just like the assassins of the Xiao family.

Back then, I was hidden by my mother in a cellar under the floor. Later, I was found by the guards who came and fought their way out and was taken away. The weapons and clothes those people used were all of the Canglan Kingdom style.

My Bai family is loyal and devoted. We didn't expect to die on the battlefield but died at the hands of our own people. The guards who stayed behind fought desperately, but were eventually outnumbered and killed.

When the Bai family's personal guards received the news and rushed over, they had no choice but to risk their lives to take me away. I saw with my own eyes the tattoos on the bodies of those assassins, and I heard with my own ears that they said that they would not spare any of the Bai family's women and children, and would wipe them out completely!"

As Song Xiao spoke, his whole body emitting overwhelming hatred. He looked at Xiao Qin with red eyes. The blood of his mother and grandmother seeped through the floor and dripped onto his body.

But before they died, they tightly guarded the floor where they were hiding in order to protect themselves, so they dared not make any sound and could only cover their lips tightly.

Song Xiao's words stunned everyone. They were shocked that the newly promoted General Wuwei was a member of the Bai family. No one expected that someone in the Bai family was still alive.

You could hear a pin drop in the hall. Xiao Qin looked at Song Xiao for a long while. No, now he should say he was looking at Bai Yuyan. He didn't look much like Bai Hainian, but there was indeed the shadow of Bai Hainian between his eyebrows.

But he looks more like Bai Hainian's wife, Lin. "Why did you change your name to Song Xiao? Isn't your mother a daughter of Lin?"

"Marquis Jingbei may have forgotten that my grandmother was from the Song family in Jiangnan!"

Because of the conversation between the two, everyone came back to their senses...

The emperor spoke first: "Are you a member of the Bai family? Bai Hainian's youngest son, Bai Yuyan?" He looked at Bai Yuyan carefully, and indeed saw the shadow of Bai Hainian when he was young, and also the appearance of Lin when she was young.

But he does not have Lin's gentleness, but more of Bai Hainian's perseverance. No wonder people in the North say that he has the shadow of General Bai. It turns out that he is Bai Hainian's biological son.

I thought the Bai family was destroyed, but I never thought there was such a fish that escaped the net. Not only did he grow up, but he also grew to such a level in secret.

He looked at Xiao Qin, "Xiao Qin, do you plead guilty?" The look in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Qin was stern and meaningful, and the threat was obvious.

Xiao Qin looked at the emperor and smiled self-deprecatingly. The emperor looked at him and suddenly had a bad feeling...
