Come on, Your Highness

Zhan Shaoqi's perverted habit, before he got married, in order to form a good relationship, the eldest princess still covered it up and kept her son from going out, which was absurd, and several people in the house died just like this.

Mrs. He found out about two, so naturally it was more than this number.

When He Lingshan came in, she vaguely knew how many skeletons were buried under the plum blossom tree.

After Zhan Shaoqi got married, let's not talk about whether he can mess with his wife, at least the eldest princess will no longer restrain him, and when he has an eldest son and daughter, he will be even more unscrupulous.

Those in the mansion get tired of seeing too much, and the frightened birds can't avoid it. There are so many people around, they can't let go of their hands and feet, and finally moved their thoughts outside.

Huo Liang was originally Zhan Shaoqi's follower and served him for several years.And being able to do things in front of Zhan Shaoqi is not a good thing after thinking about it.

Firework girl Zhan Shaoqi thinks it's dirty, and the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion is even more eye-catching. Zhan Shaoqi occasionally goes there, but he doesn't like it.

So Huo Liang came up with an idea for an autumn garden.

Autumn means withering.

There is no reason for a girl who is as beautiful as a flower to go out after entering this garden.

That place is a bit out of the way, and it's all other homes, so most people don't notice it.

If Zhan Shaoqi couldn't bear it, he would go directly to this garden to have a good time, hiding and letting go.

Without covering his mouth, he could hear those terrified screams and begging for mercy, completely releasing the devil in his heart.

Once people can't stand it, they can be directly buried under the flower tree, or thrown at the mouth of the well, once everything is done, it won't take long for it to rot into mud, no one knows.

In the beginning, they were just some girls that Huo Liang tricked from nowhere, and they were just playing tricks for him to have fun.

However, this kind of thing, naturally, the more people there are, the more emotional it is.

In such a huge capital city, there are nobles and princes all over the place, so of course it is impossible for him to be the only one with this disgusting hobby.

Likes attract, and so do perverts.

After coming and going, this autumn garden has become a place that a certain circle yearns for.

By the time the eldest princess knew about it, a small scale had already formed.

The tall princess didn't care about the lives of those poor girls, she was more concerned about Zhan Shaoqi's reputation and future.

After all, these are not the servants in the mansion who hold their deeds, and they can't help themselves.They are all people from good families, and they are responsible for their lives. Once people find out, it will be a catastrophe.

And... Looking at the noble children who were attracted here, as well as those high-ranking officials who were usually dignified, the eldest princess's sharp eyes immediately discovered the mystery.

Such a good handle can pinch these people and form a force.

So that autumn garden immediately fell under Huo Liang's name, and found another excuse to expel him from the princess mansion, so that even if something happened in the future, he could get rid of himself completely.

But after all, this person is in charge of the Qiuyuan, and she can't let it go. The eldest princess is afraid that this person will bite back, so she sent him to Zhan's house and put him in the farm.

In the future, as soon as there is any movement, they can directly kill people to silence them.

It's a pity that He Xichao's actions were too fast, and he didn't give the eldest princess much time to react.

What the eldest princess didn't expect was that Wei Guogong, who was always unwilling to offend others, came out directly!

Recalling He Lingshan's marriage at the beginning, when Wei Guogong learned that Zhan Shaoqi was about to refuse the marriage, it was just an inquiry that the emperor expected, and the princess smiled and said a few more words, and he agreed.

Don't you take your granddaughter seriously? Why are you getting tough now?

He Xichao was able to persuade Wei Guogong to make the eldest princess feel threatened.

She was restless and restless, Zhan Shaoqi was sent out, and when she came back, she might be...

At this time, she began to be afraid.

She no longer cared so much about He Lingshan's affairs.

"Nurse Fang, is there any news from the yamen?"

Nanny Fang comforted the eldest princess and said, "The Zhan family has sent someone there. I don't know what that person's younger sister looks like, but she's just talking nonsense. Huo Liang also said that she didn't know her at all. There is not a single surnamed Zhuang among the women, and there is no trace of them being robbed by others. If the two sides confront each other, you can find out who is lying. Don't worry, I hired the best litigator, and they will be brought out in a while. guilty."

The eldest princess was puzzled when she heard the words: "Since he didn't do it, why did the person falsely accuse him?"

Nanny Fang shook her head: "This...slaves can't say for sure."

The eldest princess let out a deep breath and said: "Whether he did it or not, after it comes out, deal with it quickly."

"Yes."

Zhan Shaoqi is a direct descendant of the Zhan family, but he has always lived in the princess mansion, which shows the strength of the eldest princess of Liyang.

But anyway, his surname is Zhan, and he has the influence of the Princess House. Naturally, the Zhan family also attaches great importance to him, so the two families have close contacts.

The Zhan family was in charge of the Imperial City Army, and the autumn garden was so secretive and unknown, which also had some credit for them.

There are too many people like Brother Zhuang who come from other places to make a living in the capital, and those who drag their families can only live in the countryside.

Even if you lose someone, there is nowhere to find them.

The governor of the capital has a lot of affairs, even if he sues the officials, receives the pleadings, and finds out the nobles, he still has a headache, basically nothing happens.

It's not that Fu Yin didn't do his best, it's just that the family of high-ranking officials had too many excuses and paid money in private, and the two sides reconciled.

Fighting between the people and the government usually has no good end, and the governor is also very helpless, for the sake of these people, he always persuades them like this.

But this time Wei Guogong intervened, it was different.

After being promoted to the hall, the plaintiff and the defendant all knelt on the ground.

Huo Liang, like his former master, was a man with slanted eyes and a cunning face, but now he was kneeling on the ground obediently, with his head hanging down, not knowing what to think.

The housekeeper of Zhan's mansion stood aside, and there was another litigator who had no white beard but was a familiar face in the court, known as the number one lawyer in the capital.

The housekeeper said to him: "You can safely and boldly say that you didn't do it. It's useless for this person to talk about it. Our Zhan's family is standing upright and we are not afraid of confrontation."

Huo Liang raised his head and glanced at him, then moved his gaze to the side, then still lowered his head without speaking.

Kneeling next to him was a haggard-looking little brother Zhuang, who actually had no idea.

"The way of heaven is in the hearts of the people. Since the Duke is in charge, he will manage it to the end. You don't have to be afraid." The housekeeper of Duke Wei's mansion on the other side said to him.

Brother Zhuang sighed, and nodded with a face full of enthusiasm.

With the sound of the gavel, the two parties revealed their identities.

Brother Zhuang recounted the statement on the pleading paper again, and even described how Huo Liang led people to rob, what he said, and his expression at that time.

"My lord, my parents left early. The villain and my younger sister have been dependent on each other since childhood. She has always been well-behaved and sensible. In order to save money for the villain to marry a wife, she stayed up all night doing needlework, and her fingers were poked into holes. The villain is useless. Earn money." Without money, I can't protect her, even if I die, I won't have the face to see my parents. My lord, please help me!"

Brother Zhuang became excited when he mentioned his sister, and the expression of deep grief and indignation made the crowd of onlookers sigh.

No matter where it is, people like to watch this kind of excitement most.

And because the people in the capital are relatively rich and have a lot of leisure time, they naturally all gather around.

One is an honest man who is poor and his sister was robbed by thugs, and the other is a running dog in front of a nobleman. Anyone who knows Huo Liang knows that this is not a good thing.

Comparing the two sides, no matter what they really think, the common people subconsciously believe what this little brother Zhuang said.

Everyone looked at Huo Liang filled with righteous indignation, wishing that Lord Fu Yin would bring this person to justice immediately.

As soon as Brother Zhuang finished speaking, the governor asked the defendant according to the usual practice: "Huo Liang, is what Zhuang Shizhu said true? Can you plead guilty?"

Zhuang Shizhu raised his head and secretly glanced at Huo Liang, feeling a little worried.

He talked a lot about the details, and it was full of loopholes. The housekeeper and the litigator here looked at each other with a calm expression, and they looked at each other very confidently. After Huo Liang refuted, they could counter-accuse him of a crime of framing.

Surprisingly, Huo Liang didn't immediately deny it, but fell silent.

"Huo Liang, can you plead guilty to this matter?" Fu Yin looked strange and couldn't help asking again.

Huo Liang didn't move at all, everyone could see that something was wrong.

The litigator and the housekeeper of Zhan's house glanced at each other, and the housekeeper said: "Huo Liang, your lord asked you something, it wasn't you who did it, just refute it directly. Our Zhan's house can't tolerate a villain who bullies the weak, and we won't let our own people Feel free to be framed!"

However, these words did not make him respond.

Huo Liang's palms were sweating at the moment, and his heart was panicked. He raised his head again and glanced at the person beside the housekeeper.

He knew this unremarkable servant. He was from the Princess Mansion and had been working for the Eldest Princess.

With the method of the eldest princess, he couldn't survive.

"Huo Liang!" The housekeeper of Zhan's house shouted again.

He couldn't figure it out, what was Huo Liang still hesitating about?

"My lord, this is one of my sister's earrings. I bought it for her with the monthly money I saved for half a year. The other one was still on her ear before it was taken away. Every time the villain sees this half pair of earrings, he will... Woooo..."

Brother Zhuang took out a neatly folded silk handkerchief from his pocket, and opened it to reveal half a pair of silver earrings.

When the official sent it up, Huo Liang passed by. When he looked up, his pupils shrank.

The earrings did not belong to Xiaomei Zhuang, but to his beloved little girl. Because of her young age, they did not wear big ones. A small pair is better than exquisiteness.

Huo Liang didn't hesitate any longer, he gritted his teeth, kowtowed and said, "My lord, the villain pleaded guilty, Xiaomei Zhuang was the one who led someone to rob her."

He surprised everyone by pleading guilty on the spot.

Not only the housekeeper and litigator of Zhan's house, but even the onlookers found it strange that the three courts had not passed the trial yet.

"Huo Liang, what nonsense are you talking about? Can you admit this kind of crime casually?" the housekeeper of Zhan's house shouted angrily, wishing he could pick up a stick and give him a blow. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Master has already said, I will protect you." Get out, what are you thinking?"

Huo Liang kowtowed and said nothing.

The steward of the Zhan Mansion finally panicked. This was different from what he had thought in advance. Thinking about what his master said and the explanation from the Princess Mansion, he couldn't help saying: "You don't think about yourself, you have to think about the lives of your family. Bar?"

As soon as this remark came out, the steward of Duke Wei's mansion sneered and said, "My lord, is this a threat?"

"Crack!" With a gavel, Fu Yin looked coldly at the housekeeper of Zhan's house and said, "There is no room for coercion and temptation in the courtroom!" Then he looked at Huo Liang and asked again: "Are you pleading guilty?"

"Yes, villain...plead guilty."

The one who was the most shocked was Brother Zhuang. He was stunned for a long time before he could react.

"And what about my sister?" he asked eagerly.

Huo Liang looked at him with sarcasm and said, "Ask me? What do you think?"

Do they know each other?Was he really the one who robbed him?

Brother Zhuang fell silent for a moment.

The governor of Jingzhao followed up with questioning, but Huo Liang kept silent except to plead guilty.

"Put it in prison first, and then try again." Finally, the governor said.

This interrogation was rather dramatic, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was a game between Wei Guogong's mansion and Zhan's family.

As for why, I am afraid that no one except the person involved is clear.

The news was sent back to the princess mansion, and Princess Liyang smashed another house on the spot.

Mother Fang said to herself strangely: "Why did Huo Liang plead guilty? Could it be that he did it? It's impossible!"

"He didn't do it, why did he plead guilty?" The eldest princess said fiercely, "Things that are not successful enough to fail, we must find a way to deal with him!"

"But now in the prison, I'm afraid it's not easy to make a move. It would be bad if Huo Liang is forced to bite back. Eldest princess, we have to be more careful, or we may be led by the nose." Mother Fang said .

The sharp nails got into the palms, causing stinging pain. Princess Liyang sat down and said slowly: "Then wait for the opportunity to do it, Qiu Yuan, no matter what, it must be dealt with immediately."

Mother Fang wondered: "But our people are probably under surveillance."

The eldest princess took a deep breath: "The Zhan family is in charge of the Imperial City Army, and they usually have to patrol, so it's always convenient?"

"It's just that the Zhan family is afraid that they don't want to get involved."

"That's up to them." The princess looked cold and suddenly turned around and asked, "Where is He Lingshan, have you found it?"

Nanny Fang shook her head: "Young servants are useless, it's as if the young lady has disappeared, and I have asked at the gate of the city, but she hasn't left the city."

"Is this deliberately avoiding us?"

"People in Duke Wei's mansion said that Mrs. He took the young lady to rest in peace and not let anyone disturb her, so they don't know where they went. Although the second lady is in charge of the house, the manpower is left by the lady. He Mingrui was punished by Wei Guogong to kneel all night in the ancestral hall, but the eldest princess rushed to bring him out."

"A concubine with nothing but a name and a widow without a son can't deal with it. It's a waste! The princess has to come to ask for release! He is really far from He Xichao, and the only one who provokes He Lingshan and Shaoqi Do something!"

The eldest princess frowned tightly, holding the tea in her well-maintained hands, holding the lid of the cup and flicking the tea froth, her whole body exuded a melancholy breath, and her thoughts drifted to nowhere .

Looking at her agitated appearance, Mother Fang knew that the eldest princess had regretted it a little.

In fact, it was the princess mansion's fault in the first place. If He Lingshan had been well comforted and made offerings like a bodhisattva, so that she could stay in the princess mansion peacefully, there would be nothing wrong with it.

Here, He Xichao just nodded when he heard the result of Ah Fu's report, and then ordered: "Go to the Duke's mansion and tell grandfather that the opportunity to bring down the Zhan family has come."

Ah Fu immediately took the order and left.

And He Xichao cast a sidelong glance at the person standing in front of him, and asked, "It's so late, why don't you go back?"

Xiao Hong laughed twice, scratched his head and said, "It's still early, I'll stay with you for a while."

"I don't keep anyone here." He Xi said expressionlessly.

"I know, I know, you are going to the Western Regions, I have to hurry up and be with you, Xi Chao, don't drive me away!" Xiao Hong pleaded on the table.

He Xi rolled his eyes at him: "Then you just stay."

At this moment, Xia He walked in, holding a cloak in his hand, and said, "Master, get ready."

He Xichao nodded, then got up, let Xia He serve to put on the cloak, and walked outside.

Xiao Hong looked at it and felt something was wrong, so he quickly asked, "Xi Chao, where are you going?"

"The government prison."

"What are you doing there?" Xiao Hong said suddenly, "Are you going to see Huo Liang?"

"Ah."

"Then I'll go with you." Xiao Hong hurriedly followed, his eyes glowing with excitement, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, did Huo Liang snatch that sister Zhuang?"

"No."

"Then why did he plead guilty so simply? It doesn't make sense!"

Xiao Hong raised his hand to support He Xichao's arm, and after sending him into the carriage, he jumped on it himself.

He Xichao said: "He didn't plead guilty, is he waiting to be killed by the eldest princess when he goes out? Staying in the prison, at least he can save his family's life."

Xiao Hong suddenly realized: "No wonder, I thought you were so powerful that you could find the sufferer in no time."

"The time is too short, where can I find it in a while? It is Qiu Yuan, and I learned about it by accident when my sister sent someone to watch Zhan Shaoqi. It's just that things are too busy. If it wasn't for the servants to report, I would have forgotten about it." matter." He Xichao leaned on the carriage and said flatly, "I asked an officer to mention the word Qiuyuan when he was arresting Huo Liang."

Qiuyuan is a taboo, if you don't know the secrets and filth inside, why would someone bring it up for no reason.

Huo Liang already had ghosts in his heart, so when he said this, he would naturally feel that the place was already known.

"But how did he know that the eldest princess wanted to kill him? It was just a whim to arrest him. Since he doesn't know the brothers and sisters of the Zhuang family, shouldn't he cooperate with the Zhan family to save him?" Xiao Hong asked.

When mentioning this matter, He Xichao raised his eyebrows: "I went directly to the vicinity of the Qiu Garden yesterday after the court."

"The eldest princess knows?"

"I deliberately sent someone to provoke her. With the eldest princess' vengeful and suspicious character, she will definitely send someone to follow me and observe my every move. Now that I know about Qiu Yuan, just in case, she will not keep Huo Liang any longer. Life. When she goes to court today, she will not rest assured that the Zhan family will deal with it, and she will order people to follow her, and Huo Liang knows how cruel the eldest princess is, so he naturally knows how to choose."

In the end, Huo Liang's daughter's earrings made him directly make up his mind.

Xiao Hong: "..." Although this matter had nothing to do with him, Xiao Hong always felt a chill on the back of his neck when he heard He Xichao's calm tone.

This is what happened to Zhan Shaoqi's scum, He Lingshan. In just a few days, He Xichao made all the arrangements.

Think about it if you are sorry for He Xichao...

Xiao Hong wiped his face, patted his chest carefully and fearfully, and said in his heart that fortunately he was devoted to Mingyue, and He Xichao would never let He Xichao have the opportunity to greet him like this.

Finally, Xiao Hong asked: "Then why did we go to Huo Liang this time..."

"When you do this kind of thing, if you are smart, you should always hold some life-saving things in your hands, and see if he is willing to hand them over to me. Besides..." He Xichao smiled softly, "Stimulate the eldest princess, don't look for it." Now is the time, if you don’t do it, it will be too late.”

The author has something to say: Xiao Hong: I think Xi Chao is warning me to be quiet, otherwise...

Yao: Your end will not be better than Zhan Shaoqi.

He Xichao: I've said it all, and we will die together.
