Chapter 44 The Emperor Investigates the Case



[Liu Hong, this scumbag, poisoned his first wife. How could he have the heart to do that?]

When Xia Miaoyuan heard this, he looked indignant.

The veins on Wei Han's forehead throbbed. He shouted at Xiao Hong, "Since you saw Liu Hong poisoning her, why didn't you tell your family?"

"I dare not say it! My son-in-law warned us in advance not to say anything to the Wei family, otherwise we will be beaten to death." Xiaohong said in a crying voice.

【Huh, what are you afraid to say? 】

Xia Miaoyuan looked at Xiaohong and rolled his eyes.

[It was obviously you who secretly climbed into Liu Hong's bed without Wei Yu'er's knowledge, dreaming of becoming his concubine.]

Because Wei Yu'er had forbidden Liu Hong from taking a concubine, even if Liu Hong had ulterior motives, he would not have dared to do so openly.

[You saw Liu Hong poisoning Wei Yu'er, and you were so happy that you couldn't wait for Wei Yu'er to die.]

【Liu Hong would like to make you his concubine! 】

[But you never imagined that Liu Hong poisoned Wei Yu'er not for you, but for Old Man Jiang's illegitimate daughter.]

[As soon as Wei Yu'er died, he sold you and the other maids that very night.]

Xia Zhengqi listened attentively to his daughter's thoughts and seriously ate the gossip of Liu Hong and the maid.

After listening to Xiaohong's story, the faces of the Wei family members all turned gloomy.

At this moment, the Wei family's servant came to the main hall door and reported: "The Second Prince is here!"

Xia Zhengqi raised his hand: "Let him come over."

After a while, the second prince came into the main hall panting.

After everyone finished paying their respects, the Second Prince said to Xia Zhengqi, "Father, you really made it difficult for me to find you."

Xia Zhengqi looked at Xia Chengnian's delighted expression and the beads of sweat on his forehead, and immediately guessed what was going on: "Is it done?"

Because the Wei family was present, Xia Zhengqi could only ask vaguely.

"That's right." After the second prince said these two words, he turned his head and glanced at the Wei family.

Wei Han immediately said to Xia Zhengqi with a look: "Your Majesty, my study is nearby, why don't you..."

"Okay, Mr. Wei, I'll borrow your study." Xia Zhengqi curled his lips and walked towards the study with Xia Miaoyuan and the second prince in his arms.

In Wei Han's study, the Second Prince reported to Xia Zheng: "Father, I have found the stolen money that Wei Jianzhong had embezzled and accepted bribes."

"His stolen money has now been transported to the Ministry of Justice for inventory, and Wei Jianzhong has been arrested and thrown into the Ministry of Justice's prison."

"This is the Imperial Army's military token found on Wei Jianzhong."

As the second prince spoke, he took out a jade pendant in the shape of a tiger head from his bosom and presented it to Xia Zhengqi with both hands.
