Chapter 203: Mrs. Liang Goes Crazy

The Taibao continued: "Fourth, during the fire dragon parade, many people followed. When Chen Liuliu was almost burned, you said that there were many servants there. Since there were servants and you knew there were people in the side room, Why didn't you go in and notify the evacuation immediately?"

Prime Minister Xia came out to speak, "Caibao, at that time many of the servants didn't know that there was someone in the side room, and a fire suddenly broke out, causing everyone to be in chaos, and they were busy evacuating the followers, so it is possible to forget for a while."

The Taibao said sharply: "Okay, let's pretend that the servants who followed didn't know, but the person sent by Xiaoyue was watching all the time, why didn't this person inform?"

The old lady frowned and said: "The scene is chaotic, it may not be as simple as the Taibao thought, why should the Taibao get excited?"

The Taibao looked at the old lady, "Yes, it may not be as simple as the old man thought, maybe it is more complicated, isn't it, old lady?"

The old lady didn't speak. She really had nothing to say. She knew in her heart that Liang's and Xia Zi'an's cups hadn't been removed at all. It was a trap he had deliberately set up to make Ximen Xiaoyue admit that her people had removed the cups. Why did they do so? cups without removing other utensils? This alone can make a big fuss.

She can't deny that she didn't remove the cup, because she doesn't want to have anything to do with this matter, so she should try her best to clear it up if she can. The Taibao came today, not to make decisions for Mrs. Liang, but to really investigate this matter, Ximen Xiaoyue's bad luck is her business, as long as she is not involved in it.

Moreover, regardless of whether the cup was removed or not, since Ximen Xiaoyue admits it, then the removal of the cup is a "fact", and there is no other evidence to the contrary, so she will follow this line.

The Taibao asked Ximen Xiaoyue, "Do you still want to ask this old man? Maybe you can ask the second lady and the prince of the Xia family why they were involved in the murder case."

Ximen Xiaoyue was almost limp on the ground, and Xia Wan'er was a little shocked when she heard this, but her face also turned pale when she thought about the cause and effect.

The Taibao looked at Ximen Xiaoyue and said sharply: "Your confession is wrong. Looking at all the things that happened that day, plus you moved the jewelry box and valuable dowry in advance, it is almost certain that you knew that there would be someone in the side room. A big fire, Xiaoyue, the most wrong thing about you is being used by others, you shouldn’t let your people go to Wu Huolong, now the person who is in contact with Wu Huolong is your person, and they drove out The bank note also belongs to the Duke's Mansion."

Ximen Xiaoyue's face turned pale suddenly, remembering that when she said to invite the fire dragon that day, she originally intended to let the people in the prime minister's mansion do it, because all the servants in the mansion were transferred to the front yard to serve the guests.

Naturally, she paid the money first, and the dowry given by the Duke's Mansion included silver bills, so she took the silver bills to pay.

As I said before, if something happened, Huolong was an accident in the prime minister's mansion. Even if the Yamen intervened in the investigation, but if there was not much superficial evidence, it would eventually be judged to be an accident. There are traces of arson left, and the two are connected in series, and the Yamen pays attention to it.

If he tortured Huolong again, I'm afraid something would go wrong, and he had indeed started to start with Huolong, because the Taibao already knew that the bank notes they received belonged to the Duke's government.

Zi'an saw that although the old lady and Prime Minister Xia heard the implication of the Taibao, they pretended not to know it. Their thick skins were really amazing.

The Taibao stood up, looked around the crowd, and finally landed on Ximen Xiaoyue's face, and said sternly: "I will remember what you said today, and I will tell the criminal department truthfully. As a confession for the case, don't question it. Those who have the right to handle the case, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has entrusted the old man to assist in the investigation of the case, so I won’t move you today, but tomorrow, people from the yamen will come to your door.”

Mrs. Li screamed, "What do you mean? You are helping outsiders to bully our Ximen clan?"

The Taibao didn't look at her, but just looked at Duke Jin, and said coldly, "Say something."

The endless words made Jin Guogong a little at a loss.

But he soon understood what the Taibao meant, if the Duke's Mansion stayed out of the matter now, there was still time.

He immediately said without hesitation: "The fire in Ruoxiang's mansion was really not an accident but someone deliberately did it. No matter who this person is, even if he is a member of our country's government, he must be severely punished according to the law."

The Duke's Mansion hasn't been involved yet, in fact, it shouldn't be in this muddy water.

"Grandfather!" Ximen Xiaoyue wept bitterly, unexpectedly her grandfather could turn his face and deny anyone immediately.

The Taibao stared at Jin Guogong, and said sharply: "With your words, the old man will feel at ease. In the future, I will be alert to the people below, and I will tighten their tails. If there is any trouble, the old man will not protect you. "

Duke Jin said with a gloomy face, "Xie Taibao reminded me, I will remember it."

Jin Guogong knew that today's matter could have been clarified here, but the Taibao did not continue to pursue it. It gave the Duke's face and saved a little dignity. As for how the Ministry of Punishment and the Yamen will investigate and arrest , as long as it doesn't happen in the Duke's Mansion, he can stay out of it.

"Since it's a banquet for my son-in-law today, and the meals are all ready, let's have a happy meal first. As for tomorrow's business, let's do it tomorrow. It's not in vain for the elders of the clan to come over in person."

The Taibao's words made some people feel mixed feelings. Apart from protecting the face of the Duke's mansion, this feast for the son-in-law is equivalent to telling the people in the family that this in-law's family is already a certainty, and no matter what Ximen will do in the future. What happened to Xiaoyue, she is only a member of the Xiangfu, and has nothing to do with the Ximen family.

Prime Minister Xia wanted to speak, but was held back by the old lady. The old lady also understood what she meant. You are Ximen Xiaoyue. There is no way to avoid it.

The Taibao has a golden eye and sharp eyes, talking will only cause trouble, if you don't talk, you won't be caught.

Zian was actually a little disappointed, and thought that the Taibao would continue to pursue it.

But it's good to hand over the matter to the yamen, at least, the two families can still whitewash the peace.

Many people have no appetite for this meal, except for Dao Boss.

He was arranged to sit at the same table with the servants brought by the elders of other clans. Today's meal was very good, with eight dishes and one soup, except for one vegetable, the rest were all meat dishes.

If you have never seen what is called wind and clouds, then you can invite the knife boss to have a meal and have a good experience.

In short, Xiao Sun has never seen it.

She was so angry, she went out early this morning, prepared four steamed buns, and ate them all for him in the carriage. She thought that she would have a meal when she arrived at the Duke's Mansion hungry, but she just drank a small bowl of soup slowly. Eight dishes were all rolled up.

He wiped off the last bit of braised pork juice with the steamed bun.

In addition to being angry, she also felt particularly ashamed, because those servants all looked at her and Boss Dao, and she and Boss Dao came together.

After eating, Taibao and the others left.

The old lady and Prime Minister Xia also wanted to leave, but at this moment, Mrs. Liang stopped Ximen Xiaoyue.

There was a dark smile at the corner of his mouth, "Want to leave? We haven't settled our debt yet."
