Lin Yue transmigrated into a book, and damn it, she's the most hated female cannon fodder who falls in love with her stepson and harms the daughter-in-law—simply deserving to die.
So sh...
The emperor finally asked the prince and Xiao Huaizheng to deal with the He family's affairs.
Xiao Huaichen wanted to follow, but the emperor grabbed him back and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Xiao Huaichen said: "I want to go and take a look."
The emperor said angrily: "Even if you look at it, you will be silenced."
Xiao Huaichen was unwilling to accept it, but when he looked at the guards around him, he was afraid that his father would use force, so he had to endure it for the time being.
As soon as his father went to court, he immediately ran out of the palace.
On the other side, the prince, who had just left the palace, said to Xiao Huaizheng: "Be careful later, don't rush into everything. The He family is not easy to deal with, so don't take it lightly."
Xiao Huaizheng said, "Don't worry, big brother. I went to the Imperial Master this morning to get two evil-avoiding talismans. Ordinary Gu can't take over our bodies."
As he spoke, he took out one and handed it to the prince.
The Crown Prince carefully collected it and said happily, "No wonder Father relies on you more and more. Fourth brother, you are so cautious in your work. It really makes me feel at ease."
Xiao Huaizheng smiled and said, "Whether the emperor praises me or not, I will do it. But he is more pleasant to listen to now than before. He used to scold me all the time."
The prince sneered. He used to scold the fourth brother often.
That's because they always felt that the fourth brother was listening to a eunuch, which was a disgrace to their royal family.
Xiao Huaizheng said: "But I did deserve to be scolded before, so I don't have anything to think about when my father ignored me so much."
"People can't have all the good things to themselves. At least I have Aunt Huang's protection now. That's better than many people, isn't it?"
The prince: "..." He reasonably suspected that the fourth brother was showing off.
The two men brought a large number of people to the door of the He family and found that Xiao Qingyi was already waiting outside with his men.
The prince and Xiao Huaizheng were both very surprised, and they hurried forward.
Xiao Qingyi introduced today's victims to them: "The elder of these two is Zheng Xu, the eldest brother of He Yingwu's ex-fiancée, Madam He. The other is Fang Youwei, the second uncle of He Yingwu's ex-fiancée, Fang Caijing."
"Mother had Cuicui send me a message early today, asking me to bring them here to assist you in your investigation."
"My mother also said that Fang Caijing is dead, and there are two lives lost. The He family will definitely be sued. They can directly bring all the people to the Ministry of Justice for trial."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince and Xiao Huaizheng were filled with shock.
They didn't know that Fang Caijing's death was actually related to the He family. At this time, Fang Youwei had already received instructions and hurriedly said: "My niece has a miserable life. One body and two lives. The child is also He Yingwu's."
"Not only was our Fang family deceived, but my brother and his wife also died of depression. The He family must pay for their crimes. They must die and compensate our Fang family."
Fang Caijing's parents are both dead, so the so-called compensation will naturally fall into the hands of Uncle Fang. But if Fang Caijing can be given justice and the He family can be severely punished, the compensation money will no longer be important to the deceased.
Xiao Huaizheng said, "Brother, go to the Ministry of Justice and sit in court first. Qingyi and I will go to escort the man. This will prevent He Yingwu from relying on his status as the royal family's son-in-law and scolding him. The officers won't dare to touch him."
The prince nodded, took out the amulet from his arms and placed it in Xiao Qingyi's hand.
"This is given by your master. Wear it carefully. I will wait for you in the court of the Ministry of Justice."
Xiao Qingyi felt warm in his heart and quickly expressed his gratitude.
Soon the two men rushed into the He family with the officers, but at this time the servants in the He family were like zombies, with dull eyes and numb expressions, and many of them were repeating the same action.
After repeating it three or four times, it slowly switched.
When the housekeeper heard Xiao Huaizheng's intention, he said, "Okay, I'll take you to find the master."
When Xiao Huaizheng saw the butler speaking, his eyes were staring straight ahead, his face was black, and he looked like a dying man.
Thinking that this lady was fake and could cast a spell, Xiao Huaizheng subconsciously held Xiao Qingyi's hand: "Cousin, be careful."
Xiao Qingyi nodded and said, "Don't be afraid. When we carry out missions in the past, we also have to go to the bandits' dens."
"Walk."
They soon arrived at He Gui's room and heard crying from inside.
When I pushed the door open, I saw an old lady with a hunched back lying in front of the bed, her eyes red from crying.
When she saw someone coming with officials, she immediately rushed forward.
Xiao Qingyi and Xiao Huaizheng quickly moved aside and saw the old woman fall to the ground, crying, "Officials, you are finally here, please save my master."
"I don't know where a female bandit came from. She pretended to be our lady. After being discovered last night, she not only injured our young master, but also frightened our master into passing out. He is still unconscious."
Xiao Huaizheng and Xiao Qingyi looked at each other and wondered if Rong Ting had already run away?
Xiao Huaizheng asked, "Did your wife run away?"
The old nanny said angrily, "How can she be our wife? She is clearly a bandit who came from nowhere. Not only can she disguise herself, but she is also very skilled in martial arts."
"Our master and son were kept in the dark the whole time. They discovered something last night and were both murdered."
Xiao Qingyi asked, "Then how do you know so clearly?"
The old nanny said, "When I arrived, I saw the woman escaping. The young master was still awake and passed out after he told me the truth."
Xiao Qingyi immediately called the servants of the He family to inquire about the old nanny's identity, and learned that the old nanny was actually Mr. He's wet nurse, and was already seventy years old this year.
But this old lady looks to be at least ninety years old, and speaks clearly. Could she be the old witch "Rong Ting"?
He and Xiao Huaizheng exchanged a glance, confirming that Xiao Huaizheng was also suspicious, and then asked, "Now you are the only one who knows the truth. Are you still able to walk and go to the Ministry of Justice?"
The old lady nodded: "Of course."
Soon, a group of people carried He Yingwu, He Gui, and a group of servants to the Ministry of Justice.
People from the He family arrived one after another. Xiao Huai was standing on horseback watching. There were actually more than a hundred people.
Then he asked suspiciously: "I never noticed before that the He family actually has so many people?"
Xiao Qingyi said, "I checked last night. There are five branches in total, and four of them have been divided. Moreover, each family has a lot of wealth and has connections in the officialdom."
"He Gui is the eldest son of the family, and he has two sons. But for some reason, they were sent away to study early, and they are not in the capital now."
"Today we seem to have wiped out the He family, but in fact we have just stirred up a hornet's nest."
Hearing this, Xiao Huaizheng sneered, "Don't be afraid, then we'll prepare a fire and burn it all."
Xiao Qingyi said: "Not bad, very courageous, I was thinking of doing that as well."
The two brothers looked at each other and felt that they had met too late.
