Powerful ministers are husbands

As the evening approached, news finally came back to the Cao family.

Extremely unfavorable news for Cao Lv.

Xiang Zhen'er knew that it would be difficult to return to Cao's house if things got serious, and she confessed to a shocking murder case—Xue Weikai, the servant of the military department who disappeared a year ago, was actually arrested by Cao's law firm. kill.As for the reasons for the murder, how to kill and many other details, Cao Lv should be asked to go to the Yamen to confront him face-to-face.

"Xue... Weikai?" Pang Miao thought he had heard of this name somewhere.

Cao Lv looked at the people in the yamen calmly, "Wait for me to change my clothes." He smiled, and his gentle demeanor made everyone present feel incredible.

In their view, if General Cao had been wronged, his brows would have been furious, and his aura would have overwhelmed others like a raging fire.

Cao Lv dragged Pang Miao back into the house to change his clothes. He looked at his wife's pensive look, and joked, "Now that I'm being treated as a murderer, you've become more calm."

Pang Miao came back to his senses, glanced at Cao Lv, and said bluntly: "Since I said that there are arrangements, I think the current situation is under your control. Why should I worry about things?"

"Well——" Cao Lv nodded appreciatively, "I like to be calm about things like this." At this point, he rubbed his forehead, "I'm afraid my mother and the others will know the news, and I don't know what it will be like ...I will order someone to stand guard at the gate of Tingsong Courtyard so that no one can disturb you."

"Thank you." Pang Miao felt his cheeks were a little hot, and pretended to lower his head to help Cao Lv straighten his clothes to avoid his sight.

After Cao Lu and the people from the yamen left, Pang Miao had no appetite for dinner. He stood on the porch, watching the sky gradually darken, listening to the babbling and gradually subsiding noise at the door, wondering when he heard that Over "Xue Weikai" this person.

In the middle of the night, Cao Lv still did not come back.

Although Cao Lv said that all matters were arranged, Pang Miao still couldn't help feeling a little worried.

He lifted up the hem of his skirt, ignoring his appearance as a little girl, strode to the door, saw two guards standing outside the door, so he whispered: "Two little brothers, please go to the yamen to inquire about the general's news." How are you?"

The guards didn't expect that the young lady was still asleep. After looking at each other, one of them cupped his hands at Pang Miao, "I'm going to inquire now, young lady, please rest assured."

Pang Miao looked at the back of the guards leaving, and estimated how long it would take to go back and forth from Cao's house to the Yamen.

"Miss, why don't you have some supper? You haven't even eaten dinner yet." Jinxiu held a bowl of rice balls and coaxed in a low voice: "If uncle just comes back and sees that Miss doesn't eat dinner and doesn't take care of herself, I will feel sorry for you .”

Pang Miao stared at Jinxiu, "What are you talking about?" He took the bowl, strode back into the room, and quickly ate up Xiao Yuanzi.

Jinxiu sighed silently, and after expulsing the strange thoughts in her mind, she silently cleaned up the dishes, exchanged for new tea, and waited for the guards to come back with the young master.

About the same time as Pang Miao estimated, the guard came back sweating.He didn't dare to enter rashly because he heard that the courtyard was full of female relatives, so Pang Miao trotted to the door to talk to him.

"Because the general is not an ordinary official, the holy decree transferred the case to Dali Temple for handling. The news I have found so far is that Miss Xiang said that she had no intention of seeing a little bit of it on the general's inner robe when she was serving the general. Seeing the bloodstains, doubts arose in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask further. Then one day, she eavesdropped on the conversation between the general and Ah Hao, and realized that the bloodstains belonged to Xue Shilang of the Ministry of War. Before this incident, the General and Xue Shilang did have a deep conflict, and most officials still remember it clearly."

"Xiang Zhen'er firmly insisted, but neither side has any conclusive evidence to prove themselves. The officials of Dali Temple asked the general to live in the yamen tonight, and tomorrow they will ask the Holy Majesty for instructions, and they may come to the mansion to search. The meaning of the Marquis Yes, it will all be arranged by the Holy Majesty, and will not shield the general."

Pang Miao rubbed his forehead, thanked the guards, went back to the house, and took a few mouthfuls of herbal tea.

Jinxiu hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, I'll change the heat for you."

"No, no, no." Pang Miao quickly waved his hands, and the cold tea poured into his stomach, and he felt much better. "Go and prepare a pot of tea for the guards at the door. They have worked hard today."

"Oh." Jinxiu went out to prepare tea.

Pang Miao casually found a seat and sat down, and rolled up the hem of the skirt to his thighs so that his feet would be on another seat next to him.

Why did King Yan's people repeatedly come to harm Cao Lv?After more than two months, they will be able to kill Cao Lv's family. Why did they come up with so many moths before that?Moreover, let Xiang Zhen'er frame Cao Lv for murder with empty words, and Cao Lv will be cleared of his innocence within a few days of this case. What good will it do them?

Unless there is something hidden under this, which has not surfaced, it will only be known in the past few days when Cao Lu is entangled in lawsuits.

Pang Miao touched his chin and decided to sleep first.

Raise enough energy to face a new day.

The next day, when it was almost noon, people came from Dali Temple. Cao Zheng walked beside him with a serious expression. Everyone came to Tingsongyuan together, saying that it was the order of the Holy One to search Cao Lv's residence.

Pang Miao looked at Cao Zheng's eyes, lowered his head and moved aside, allowing the officers to search.Ru Yi turned pale with fright, ran over in a panic, and hid behind Pang Miao.

"Anyone who spreads rumors will die." Mrs. Cao cursed in a low voice, stepped into the courtyard door, and saw the calm Pang Miao, her face became even more gloomy and ugly, "Your husband is in trouble now, you look like a As if nothing happened."

Pang Miao lowered his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "My husband is talented and intelligent. My daughter-in-law believes that he will definitely overcome the difficulties and bring those who framed him to justice. If you are anxious, it will deny your husband's talent. "

Mrs. Cao choked, she didn't expect that this weak daughter-in-law who only knew to hide in the Tingsong Courtyard had such a sharp tongue.

"Lu'er and his wife are right." Cao Zheng nodded, "Only with such an unchanging demeanor and courage is he worthy of being the daughter-in-law of our Cao family. If you are as noisy as Fu'er and the others , what is it like in this mansion?"

Mrs. Cao was completely speechless, and quietly stayed by Cao Zheng's side, waiting for the officers to finish their search.

The officials searched carefully inside and out for nearly half an hour, and almost failed to turn over the entire Tingsong Courtyard.In the end, they did not find any valuable clues and had to return empty-handed.

"I'm sorry to disturb Lord Hou, but the humble officials will report back to Dali Temple." The leader bowed respectfully to Cao Zheng.

Cao Zheng nodded.

At this time, a steward of the mansion hurried over with a man dressed as a servant, "Master, master! There is urgent news from the palace!"

The servant didn't stop, and fell to Cao Zheng's feet. He didn't care to wipe the dust and mud from his forehead, and said to Cao Zheng in a panic: "Master Hou, the Holy Majesty announces that you will enter the palace immediately. It's not peaceful! Several counties have been lost!"
