Chapter 264 Where did you get this pot?

The queen was very unwilling to get any answers.

She pressed Wu Fan again, "Is there anything strange about those two wealthy businessmen?"

Wu Fan replied without a second thought, "To the Queen, those two are extremely generous with their money, spending all kinds of things every day. I once overheard them talking about Mu Ji, and their attitude seemed to be very fearful. I guess they must have made their fortune from Mu Ji, but their business isn't that big yet.

This time, the two of them went on a shopping spree in Fanzhou, and they asked the people from Muji Bank to do the work for them. They probably wanted to show their goodwill to Muji, and they even gave up a lot of profit."

Wu Fan reported honestly, and Hou Yuanji listened with his head lowered, feeling relieved.

This kid spoke as if it were true, and he almost believed it.

The emperor nodded slightly.

The intelligence that reached the capital indeed said so.

Including the breeding farm, it was also specially built by Mu Ji.

Mu Ji had never had such a business before, it seemed like it was specially prepared for someone.

That makes sense.

When asked this question, the emperor already wanted Hou Yuanji to step down.

Since the thief has nothing to do with Hou Yuanji, there is no need for a group of people to gather here in the middle of the night.

After Mr. Hou knew that Hou Yuanji was fine, he started yawning.

The beauty at home is still waiting for him.

"etc."

The Queen's cold gaze fell on Wu Fan: "I heard that those two bought a lot, even a large number of live poultry and livestock, but they didn't take so much with them when they left. And the farm is still empty now."

"Wu Fan, the so-called purchasing is just a cover, right?"

The mother of a country could even remember the name of the little escort Wu Fan clearly.

It can be seen that he really cares about this matter.

Wu Fan kowtowed quickly, "Your Majesty, this matter has caused a great uproar in the city. The people there know about it. It can't be false. Your Majesty will know the truth once you investigate."

It's impossible to fake such a big commotion.

The emperor was a little impatient, "Queen, this matter ends here."

It was the Queen who insisted on interrogating Hou Yuanji as soon as he entered the city and even invited so many people over.

He was also very annoyed because he was pulled out of his comfortable life.

If there is any problem, that's fine.

Since there is no question, why bother?

The Queen's eyes turned cold, but her face remained gentle: "Your Majesty is teaching me, so I'm sorry to bother you all with this trip today."

She put a lot of thought into it, so that she could pin the matter on the Hou family when she found any clues. She even invited the Wang family, who were at odds with the Hou family.

But nothing was found.

Wang Fugui seemed like a different person. He didn't try to find loopholes in the two people's words, but stared at the two pots intently.

A piece of trash with no real reputation.

Old Master Hou ignored the Queen completely, helped his beloved grandson up with a distressed look on his face, and prepared to leave.

His grandson had survived a near-death experience, but just because of such a small matter, he was not even given time to drink water or rest, and was interrogated like a criminal.

What a disgrace!

Hou Yuanji was helped up by Old Man Hou, and he felt a lot more relaxed. He also didn't forget to help Wu Fan.

The three of them turned around and had just taken a few steps when the queen suddenly shouted coldly.

"Hou Yuanji, the tunnel outside Fanzhou was built by you."

Her move was truly insidious.

After asking a few questions at the beginning, Hou Yuanji became idle and it was Wu Fan who was interrogated.

Now that everything has settled, Hou Yuanji will feel extremely relaxed.

She suddenly said this at this time, and as long as Hou Yuanji knew something about it, he would answer subconsciously.

Yes, or no.

No matter which answer he gave, the Queen would always find a way to bring the matter back to the Hou family.

Hou Yuanji turned around, bewildered: "What tunnel?"

He really doesn't know.

The queen's last hope was shattered.

No one could lie so subconsciously and appear so genuine.

Hou Yuanji was still wondering, but Old Man Hou was completely furious because of the Queen's words.

He said coldly, "If the Queen has any thoughts about my family, you can just tell me directly. There's no need to go through all this roundabout way! The whole of Dasheng knows what kind of person my grandson is! If he had the ability to rob the palace, he wouldn't be bullied by you guys like he is now."

He held his anger in for a long time, thinking that they were a marquis family and anyone could step on them.

"The Queen is so eager to frame this old minister's grandson. You are bullying everyone in my family."

The old man grew angrier as he spoke, and even his gaze towards the emperor hardened. "If Your Majesty wishes to dismiss me, I will return home. I would rather die in front of the Golden Palace than bear this unwarranted stigma."

The emperor didn't expect that the queen would suddenly do this and annoy old man Hou.

The Hou family is one of the families that supports him the most. Xie Jingci has just been killed, and the political situation is already unstable, but he absolutely cannot lose the Hou family again.

The emperor coaxed the old man in a good mood, "My dear, what are you talking about? Yuanji is the commander of my imperial guards, a person who is truly close to me. How can I not trust him?"

He glared at the Queen as he spoke, "Although the Queen is the mother of a country, she is also inevitably confused at times. My dear Marquis, you haven't seen your grandson for many days. It's best not to let this ignorant woman and child affect your mood."

The queen's face turned pale.

Ever since the emperor neglected his duties, when had she ever been humiliated in front of so many people?

Looking at the contemptuous look in Old Man Hou's eyes, the Queen's hatred for the Hou family was almost greater than that of the thief who exposed the tunnel.

The Queen took a deep breath and bowed to the old man. "I was too hasty and spoke inappropriately. I hope you won't blame me."

It's quite heavy here.

The Queen is the mother of a country and represents the royal family's reputation. Lowering her posture at this time is also giving enough face to the Marquis family.

Old Master Hou snorted coldly and walked out with Hou Yuanji, without giving the Queen any way out.

Hou Yuanji followed behind Old Master Hou and reached out to pull Wu Fan: "Come on, you will live in the Hou Mansion from now on."

He had promised Lu Wanyin that he would work with Wu Fan to help him.

In this case, this person must of course be placed in the Marquis' Mansion.

Hou Yuanji promptly explained to Grandpa Hou, "Grandpa, my grandson lost his arms and legs during the earthquake, and it was Wu Fan who carried me all the way to escape."

Old Master Hou was almost moved to tears: "If so, it would be a great favor to my Hou family. Grandpa will take care of it for you."

Yeah, it's settled.

Hou Yuanji has been growing up under the doting of Grandpa Hou for so many years, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it before.

Now that I've been out for a while, when I hear these words again, my eyes are filled with tears of happiness.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it is getting late. I will take my leave."

Seeing that the people from the Hou family had left, Wang Fugui didn't bother to say anything polite and hurriedly followed them out.

He followed Wu Fan out of the side hall and hurriedly called out to him, "Master Hou, please stay. I wonder where these two pots came from?"

Hou Yuanji looked at Wang Fugui in confusion and said, "Are you sick?"

He turned and left.

The queen in the palace looked extremely ugly.

She also wanted to say that Wang Fugui might have a problem with his brain.

The important person she placed her hopes on just stared at the pot the whole time and was of no use at all.
