Lady Rong is not afraid of Wei Hong's threats.

Although she is no longer favored, she is still in charge of the inner house of Ting Bo Mansion, and she is used to listening to Zhao Xiu's malicious ridicule of Zhao Chen and his son in private, and she has also seen Zhao Xiu's family letters.

Duke Xianghe has a concubine, a concubine and two sons. The concubine, Zhao Ling, can inherit his title in the future. Although Zhao Xiu is a concubine, he has been named Tingbo early on, and the family letters never stop, which shows the deep affection between father and son.A few years ago, in the letter, he still said that he wanted to make friends with Zhao Chen and his son, but in the past six months, he changed his tone and only said that he should not have anything to do with them again... Not only Zhao Xiu, even she was watching from the side, and she felt that it must be the direction of the stroke change.

Doesn't it mean that the monarch's health is getting worse day by day? When a person is in good health, he will feel that he is in control of everything in the family, but if his health is getting worse day by day, he didn't think it was a threat, but now he feels like a needle in his back , restless.

Miss Rong couldn't help but smile resolutely when she thought of this.

"If the governor of the county is unwilling to act impartially, I can only ask my father-in-law for help, and I have written a letter to ask the secretary of the inner court to come forward." She reached out to support the plain silver flower hairpin on her head, and said slowly, "Xiu Lang's death involves The clan is not a civil case... If such a murder case occurred during your term of office, what will your career be like in the future?"

Wei Hong remained silent, the veins on his forehead popped out.

Lady Rong was sitting there, and Wei Hong didn't speak, so she didn't move. The maid next to her took the honey pot she brought and made her a cup of lotus leaf and lotus heart honey water.This kind of bitter and sweet taste, only she can taste it here.

After a while, Wei Hong finally let out a breath and moved.

He looked at Mrs. Rong with uncertain eyes, and said: "As you said, Zhao Yuan is the suspect. If you interrogate the person and search the house, but you don't find anything, what should you do!"

Lady Rong looked back at him as a matter of course: "Since the man was killed by him, how could he not have discovered it? But if there is no evidence at all, the Ting Bo Mansion will naturally retract the complaint and return General Zhao's innocence."

"Then remember what you said! I'll take someone to search right now, please do what you want!" Wei Hong shook his sleeves, snorted coldly, and strode away, "Seeing off the guests!"

Lady Rong took people back to Ting Bo's mansion, and when she got out of the carriage, she saw her son Zhao Yu waiting at the gate, and the wet nurse standing beside her, as if she wanted to persuade but dared not.Zhao Yu was only three years old, when he was relying on his mother, so when he saw Mrs. Rong, he rushed towards him.

"Auntie!"

Lady Rong hurriedly picked him up, turned her head to look at the nurse and scolded: "What do you think of Da Lang! It's such a hot day that he has been standing outside until now?"

The nurse's face was full of panic, and she whispered back: "Da Lang is not making a fuss about going to see Lang Jun..."

When Zhao Yu heard it, he immediately hugged Miss Rong's neck, feeling aggrieved: "I'm going to pay my father's peace, but she won't let me into the yard!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Rong panicked along with the nurse, and Zhao Xiu's terrifying death flashed in her mind for an instant.The blood was all over the room, and the people died so unbearably, even after cleaning up, the smell of blood could still be smelled in the yard... How can he bear it when his son is so young?

She looked at her son's nurse, and forced herself to be calm: "What you did was right. From now on, just think about Da Lang, and it will benefit you in the future." After finishing speaking, she carried Zhao Yu into the gate.

There were also a lot of flowers and plants planted in the vestibule, but they were all broken down along the way and thrown to the side of the road.The servants in the mansion are all hanging white cloths and changing white lanterns. Yesterday it was still full of flowers, but now the whole yard is full of white, which makes people panic.

Zhao Yu was ignorant, he wanted to ask when he saw the broken flowers still on the ground, and when he saw the white lanterns hanging, Miss Rong couldn't help but think of the bloody man, and her hands that held him began to tremble.

She hadn't entered the second courtyard when the steward suddenly came out of the inner courtyard in a hurry, sweating profusely and went straight to her.

"Miss is bad!" He panted heavily, "That kid is gone!"

"What are you in a hurry for!" Rong Niangzi frowned: "...Which kid?"

The steward stamped his feet and shouted, "It's the slave! The sheriff asked someone to interrogate him, but the slave didn't know what to do, and disappeared from the house!"

gone!Lady Rong was shocked and furious.It was because Nu'er said that the murderer might be Zhao Yuan that she dared to go to the governor's mansion boldly. Now that the person is gone, wouldn't it be that there is no witness?

She gritted her teeth and said, "I have sent people to guard the whole mansion. He must not have escaped. He is still hiding somewhere... You can ask someone to search carefully, inside and outside the house, along the fence!"

The foreign steward wiped off his sweat, replied, and went to order someone to find someone.

They didn't know that the person they were looking for was already standing outside the general's mansion.

When Zhao Yuan heard the report from his personal guard, he was surprised at first, and then a murderous intent surged in his heart.But he reacted immediately, and was particularly shocked by his own impulsiveness.

When did he become so arbitrary that he didn't even take human life seriously?

"General?"

Zhao Yuan took a breath and nodded: "You bring him in."

When Nu'er knelt in front of him, he stared blankly at him for a long while, and then matched the person in front of him with the heavily made-up boy from last night.

"You told my personal guard that you belonged to Zhao Xiu. Zhao Xiu and I have never been in contact with each other. Why did you come to me instead of him?"

The prostitute named Nu'er was in a state of embarrassment, kowtowed and said: "I know that you were the masked man yesterday, I hope you can save my life!"

If it is said that Zhao Yuan's killing intent was only one or two points before, after hearing his straightforward words, it rose to six or seven points.

"What masked man?" He said coldly, "I don't understand that."

Nu'er knew that the person in front of him would definitely not admit it. In fact, he was not sure at first, but at this moment he really heard Zhao Yuan's voice, so he was sure that the person who killed Zhao Xiu last night was the famous General Zhao in front of him!He knew that after he had said these words, he was in the General's Mansion, and if something went wrong, he would not be able to leave again... But, he just wanted to take a gamble!

He gritted his teeth and looked up into Zhao Yuan's eyes: "I am the best listener, and I will never forget the sound I have heard... Zhao Xiu is dead. The person who killed him covered his face yesterday and knocked the slave unconscious. But the slave remembered his voice!"

Zhao Yuan looked at him for a while, then suddenly asked, "Why are you looking for me?"

Nu'er heard the words and knew there was a door, heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Zhao Xiu's concubine, Mrs. Rong, is going to sue you. I'm afraid someone will come to search for you soon. I came to you because I heard that Mrs. Rong Tell the foreign steward that once the matter is settled, we will sell us spoiled pets. I don’t want to be sold. I have become a witness. I may not even be able to save my life, but if I am sold, it will not be much better..."

Zhao Yuan was about to say something, but hurried footsteps came from outside, and then the bamboo curtain was lifted, Yi Cuo stood sideways outside the door and whispered: "The county guard sent people to search, saying that Ting Bo's mansion told you Bursting into the mansion and killing people, and there are witnesses!"

"Witness" Nu'er turned her head to look at Zhao Yuan in a daze.

"Why are you still staying here!" Zhao Yuan frowned, stood up, and impatiently pulled up the slave, "Come and hide with me, if someone finds out, I can go directly to the prison!"

Nu'er was staggered by him, her little face turned pale with fright, and she quickly explained: "Nu, I didn't come here deliberately to frame you..."

"Shut up!" Zhao Yuan was too lazy to listen to him. He went into the inner room and opened the high cabinet. The cabinet was made of old materials and was very heavy. From the appearance, there is no room to hide people at all.Even Li Qiu Li Chun and the others don't know about this place.

He opened the mezzanine and pushed Nu'er: "Go in and hide, if you dare to make a sound, I will finish you before I leave."

Wei Hong also didn't want to offend the General's Mansion, so he deliberately brought people to search at such an early stage, so that the news would not spread for the time being.He didn't think Zhao Yuan would kill people at all, so he went to talk to Zhao Yuan directly.

Zhao Yuan felt in his heart that if he wanted to put it aside in his previous life, he was really a master-level criminal, which was equivalent to going to the police station to chat with the chief after committing a crime.

In the end, no clues were found, neither bloody clothes nor murder weapons.

Wei Hong personally apologized to Zhao Yuan. He didn't ask Zhao Yuan any questions related to yesterday, and simply took him away.He is still waiting to go back and interrogate that slave again, and then he will go to Ting Bo's mansion to slap him in the face.

Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.Since he did this, he has to be able to finish it by himself. If it really becomes serious and needs his father to come forward... then it will be a big shame.

Yi Tuo looked at him, and suddenly said: "Don't be afraid, if something happens, I'll take it up for you."

"...What are you talking about?" Zhao Yuan shook his head, and the tense emotions in his eyes eased. "Could it be that you have taught me for nothing? They can't find evidence."

Zhao Chen's personal guards were originally from secret whistle. Not only are they good at spying, but they also have assassin skills such as assassination.Since he was a child, he was surrounded by A, B, C, D and others, even if one person taught him a trick, it would be of great benefit.

When he made the move yesterday, although he tossed Zhao Xiu a lot, he didn't use a common long knife, but a dagger that can be bought in blacksmith shops everywhere. The killing method was also simple and rude, without any personal characteristics.What's more, the route he took in and out was also very special, leaving no traces in the water, and the traces of water dragged along the way could not be seen clearly at night, and the summer quickly dried up, leaving no traces at all.

Yitu grinned and patted him on the shoulder.

"What are you going to do with that person inside?" He asked in a low voice.

Zhao Yuan thought for a while, and said: "After nightfall, you ask Ding Fang to find a way to send him away. I have to go back to the camp first."

"I'll bring someone with you." Yi Cuo still remembered Zhao Chen's order, he talked to Ding Fang, and then led people to ride back to the camp outside Xiguan with Zhao Yuan.

"Little General!" The camp guards hurriedly saluted Zhao Yuan and his party.

"You can see the general?" Zhao Yuan asked after getting off his horse.

A guard pointed to the tent of the Chinese army and said: "The morning training just ended, when I was humbled to change the defense, I saw the general go back to the tent."

Zhao Yuan patted him and strode to the Zhongjun tent.

Zhao Chen had just scrubbed and washed his pajamas with only two sleeves on and the front of the shirt hadn't been fastened yet, when Zhao Yuan hugged him fiercely from behind.He had heard his son's voice a long time ago, and he was still startled.

"what happened?"

Zhao Yuan hugged his strong waist, pressed his face tightly against his broad back, and was speechless for a moment.

"Father..." He opened his mouth, but it was still difficult to say for a while, "I... I'm sorry——"

Zhao Chen showed a gentle smile behind his back, turned around, wrapped his long arms around, and hugged the boy into his arms.He bowed his head and kissed the boy's head with a low and joyful voice.

"You suddenly hugged Wei father just to say this?"
