smash jade pendant

It didn't take long for the group of people to be brought to the imperial study room, and they knelt on the ground for a while.

Among them, the second princess is the most puzzled, but she has a delicate temperament, and she is usually favored by Emperor Chengxian and the Queen Mother. After saluting to Emperor Chengxian, she snuggled up to the Queen Mother: "Grandmother, what's the matter? It's so good." Yes, why such a big battle?"

The Queen Mother patted her hand, but said nothing.

The second princess quickly suppressed her coquettish mood, and stood aside in an orderly manner.

Emperor Chengxian looked at the people kneeling on the ground, and then said: "I asked you to come here because of the murder of the second son of Mr. Huo's mansion."

Everyone lowered their heads and looked at their noses and noses, especially Lord Jiang and Lord Qin. Although it was originally a matter for their Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it has nothing to do with them if the prince takes care of it himself, unless the emperor called them over this time. Let them take people away.

Emperor Chengxian glanced at the prince: "The prince will do it next."

Although the people present knew that the emperor valued the crown prince, they did not expect such a matter to be handed over to the crown prince. After all, the crown prince had favored the second son of the Jing family before.

But I have to say that this matter is left to the prince, if one of them can't handle it well, it's really inevitable that it won't go well.

The prince said in a deep voice without any emotions: "I think you all know what happened that day. I thought of the grace of saving my life and promised Mr. Jing Er three days to find out the truth. Now, Mr. Jing Er has named a murderer. This person is a bit special, so calling everyone here is also a testimony." After speaking, the conversation turned and fell on the person who had been kneeling quietly not far away, "Second son-in-law, second son-in-law Jing said that cousin Huo is I don't know if you can admit it to your harm?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was stunned, especially the second princess, who was looking at her nails that had just been dyed with cardamom, and suddenly raised her head when she heard the words: "Brother Huang, are you confused? You can listen to others if you say this." implicate?"

After the second princess shouted, she realized that everyone was looking at her, her face turned pale immediately, and she lowered her eyes: "Father, my son is just too anxious, the second son-in-law usually stays in the princess mansion and doesn't go out very much, and it is even more difficult to meet cousin Huo." How could you harm Cousin Huo?"

The prince withdrew his gaze and looked at Jing Changji: "Second Master Jing, since you said you are the second son-in-law, do you have evidence?"

Jing Changji saluted, and looked directly at Mr. Cheng and Mr. Xiang, who shrank in the corner like quails shaking their shoulders.

This was their first time entering the palace, especially when they knew that the emperor, queen, dowager and princess were all there, they were even more frightened, especially when they heard that Jing Er said that it was the second son-in-law who killed Huo Er, and they were even more helpless.

But Jing Changji said at this time: "Young Master Cheng, Young Master Xiang, you are friends of Second Young Master Huo. Let's talk about it, what did Second Young Master show off to you when Second Young Master was released from the mansion half a month ago because of ground restraint and went to Yipinzhai? Just repeat what you told me before, after all, many people in Yipinzhai knew about it at the time, and it has nothing to do with you."

Jing Changji's words clearly came with a warning, as he told him, it was when he was poisoned, it was a threat, but do they dare to say this?But at this time, it's impossible for them to say that they don't know, so they can only bite the bullet and repeat what Huo Er said earlier to slander that Miss Xu.

Huo Xiangye frowned, he didn't know what he was thinking, his face was not very good-looking, but he didn't take it seriously, she was nothing more than an orphan girl, and she came from outside Beijing, how could she get involved with the second son-in-law?

All the people present frowned after hearing the turmoil, their expressions a little embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, before anyone could speak, Jing Changji turned his gaze to the second son-in-law: "Master son-in-law, I heard that you were also in Yipinzhai that day, and you just happened to be passing by when Second Young Master Huo said this, right?"

The second son-in-law has always been very calm: "Young Master Jing reminded me so much, it did happen. But at that time, I was just passing by, and I only heard the voice of Second Young Master Huo, and there were too many onlookers in a mess, so I didn't pay attention to it." Hear what happened."

But Jing Changji asked: "Now that the second son-in-law has heard what Huo Er said about the matter with that Miss Xu, does the second son-in-law think that Miss Xu is the kind of person who climbs the ranks? Would you rather not have a status and a relationship with that girl?" People with people?"

The second son-in-law lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The second princess's complexion was not very good-looking, and she frowned: "Second Master Jing, what do you mean by your words? So what about Miss Xu, what are you doing with the son-in-law?"

Jing Changji: "But according to what Mr. Cheng and the others heard, it is indeed so. I heard that Mr. Huo also got a priceless jade pendant from Miss Xu. I wonder if you brought it?"

At that time, before the prince went to bring people, he did remind him in a low voice that the Huo family boy who came did indeed bring the jade pendant, and the prince took out the jade pendant, and even though he didn't know what Jing Changji was going to do, he handed it to him.

Jing Changji looked at the second son-in-law, and hung the jade pendant engraved with the word Xu on the rope in front of the second son-in-law: "Second son-in-law really doesn't know this jade pendant?"

The second son-in-law did not even look at it: "I don't know."

When the second princess saw the jade pendant, she didn't pay much attention to it at first, but then she thought of something, her face changed slightly, but no one noticed.

Jing Changji: "That's it." Then he grabbed the jade pendant suddenly and threw it on the ground unexpectedly: "If that's the case, let's smash it."

He moved too fast, and no one could react. Only the second son-in-law who was closest reflexively stretched out his palms to catch Jing Changji's jade pendant when it really hit the ground, and even raised his eyes to reveal a face that was anxious. Pale.

The second son-in-law's reaction made everyone present stunned, and at the same time understood: the second son-in-law really knew Miss Xu.

The reason why Jing Changji was so sure that the second son-in-law would pick it up was also because the second son-in-law had accidentally recognized that it belonged to Miss Xu with only Yipinzhai at that time. It must have been very important to the two of them.

The two had a marriage contract before, and Ms. Xu came to Beijing with this jade pendant. It is not difficult to guess that it should be the engagement token of the two at that time.

Only later when the second son-in-law was called to be a son-in-law, he must have returned the token to the Xu family, so it should have belonged to the second son-in-law, so he was so familiar with it and could recognize it at a glance.

Now that such an important thing is destroyed, the second son-in-law will naturally be very anxious.

After all, this should be the only thing Miss Xu left in this world that has anything to do with him. If he can kill Huo Er for Miss Xu, at least the second son-in-law still has feelings for Miss Xu.

It's just that I don't know if this feeling can surpass the second son-in-law himself.

Seeing this scene, the second princess' face became more and more ugly, but she didn't show it in front of so many people and the emperor and queen mother.

Emperor Cheng Xian was also stunned by what the second son-in-law did: "Second son-in-law, do you really know that Miss Xu?"

The second son-in-law's face was pale, and from the moment he reflexively shot, he knew that he had no chance to repent.

But the second son-in-law quickly calmed down, knelt down properly again, and straightened his back: "Reporting to the emperor, I told a lie, but I was afraid that the princess would misunderstand me, so I denied it. Speaking of which, I do know this person." Miss Xu, he is from the same town as Erchen."

"So that's how it is." Emperor Chengxian was thoughtful, and now it is confirmed that the second son-in-law did have an indirect connection with Huo Er, and he just killed a woman for the sake of a woman, but it is unreasonable.

The second princess felt uneasy, and tugged on the Queen Mother's sleeve: "Grandmother, even if the second son-in-law knew that Miss Xu, she wouldn't kill my cousin, can we go?"

The queen mother didn't say anything for a while, but looked at Emperor Chengxian.

Emperor Chengxian looked at the prince.

The crown prince continued to ask Jing Changji: "You said the second son-in-law killed people, what is the motive? Even if the second son-in-law knew this girl Xu, he was only a fellow villager, so why did he kill someone?"

Jing Changji: "What if it's not just a fellow villager, but a former fiancée?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole imperial study was silent again, this time even the queen mother frowned and sat upright: "Is this really true? I didn't hear that the second son-in-law had a fiancée at that time."

Jing Changji looked at Emperor Chengxian, who was not surprised on the face, obviously the emperor knew about it.

The queen mother slammed the table: "Nonsense!" She couldn't help but look at the second princess, she didn't have any surprises on her face, she obviously knew about it, but she still recruited her as her son-in-law.

Jing Changji didn't want to continue to give the second princess a chance, presumably at this time the second princess had already become suspicious. On the one hand, she was not very close cousin, and on the other hand was the son-in-law, so she naturally favored the son-in-law.

Jing Changji continued: "The second son-in-law had a marriage contract with Miss Xu at first, and the engagement was dissolved after high school, and he became the second son-in-law not long after. It is inconvenient for me to say more about it. Miss Xu got the news of regretting the marriage because she was far away. After a long time, she didn't understand why Hao Duanduan suddenly divorced, and went to Beijing to find her ex-fiancé without telling her family. She just waited for her to find her in Beijing, because she didn't know much about her fiancé, and she didn't know that he was already in high school, so she went to the academy to find someone But I didn't find it, but I accidentally fell in love with Mr. Huo Er."

Everyone's expressions were slightly relaxed, thinking that what Huo Er said earlier was going to be a storm, but only Mr. Huo Xiangye knew it was not. He wanted to stop it, but he glanced at Emperor Cheng Xian and finally remained silent.

Jing Changji changed the subject and continued: "Miss Xu has a lot of love and righteousness for her ex-fiancé, so naturally she doesn't want to entangle too much with Mr. Huo Er. In the mansion. Miss Xu is unwilling to resist, but Mr. Huo accidentally killed him."

"Nonsense!" The Empress Dowager did not expect that this junior would suddenly say that Huo Er killed someone. This is because Cheng Sheng was bullied, and there is no evidence for his death?

Jing Changji made a big salute to the Empress Dowager: "Your words are not false. Miss Xu's jade pendant is in the hands of Mr. Huo Ergong. If it is true according to what Mr. Huo Ergong said in Yipinzhai, where is Miss Xu at this moment? A month ago, Miss Xu went to Beijing to search for someone. Not long after, Second Master Huo was confined in the mansion, and was not released until half a month ago. Huo's mansion said to the outside world that it was contradicting the elders, but the minister was curious and wanted to ask Mr. Huo, what happened? How can I be confined for more than two months by contradicting? Where is Miss Xu who used to be in the mansion? Since Miss Xu even gave the priceless jade pendant to Mr. Huo Er, why did Miss Xu never show up again? Not as good as Huo Xiangye Ask yourself where the two little servants beside Mr. Huo, Miss Xu, are at the moment."

Everyone looked at Huo Xiangye who had not spoken all the time. He stood there silently at the moment, which was completely different from the confidence he had before going to the palace to seek success and punish the murderer.

Huo Xiangye didn't speak, but Jing Changji looked at the two boys: "Where is Miss Xu? Are you still recruiting?"

Where did the two young men dare to tell the truth, they immediately denied San Lian, and described Ms. Xu as a woman who behaved wildly and sloppily, and poured dirty water on her, saying that she just came to Beijing after hooking up with her second son for a while. Merchants, ran away with others.

Jing Changji didn't stop the two servants this time, he has no evidence, but now he can only bet on the feelings of the second son-in-law for Ms. He also bears such a terrible reputation after death.

The words of the two servants were not stopped, and the more they said it, the harder it was for them to hear.

The people present had different thoughts, so Xiangye Huo naturally wouldn't stop him, otherwise wouldn't he have to admit that his son is not a human being?

The second princess is happy, she has long disliked this woman who occupies the mind of the son-in-law, now hearing such slander, she is naturally in a good mood.

The entire Imperial Study Room was surprisingly quiet, as if the only person in the world who had done wrong was that Miss Xu. In the end, a soft voice resounded: "Shut up..."

The two young servants wanted to get off the hook because of their loud voices and nervousness, but they didn't hear it at first, until the second son-in-law roared completely: "I told you to shut up! Didn't you hear?"

The sudden sound frightened the two of them, and the sound stopped abruptly.
