An hour later, Emperor Zhao You specially summoned Xu Junze and Xiao Chen in the imperial study. Duan Jie, the regent of Xia Kingdom, had just left the palace. He wanted Emperor Zhao You to severely punish Xu Mingye, the murderer, and give an answer within three days, otherwise peace talks would take place.

This is the end, Xia's envoy will leave immediately, and everyone will see you on the battlefield afterwards.

"What are the results of the autopsy?" The emperor pointed his forehead with his crooked index finger with a headache. One wave after another, the matter between Wei Xiong and Duan Yunhao has not yet come to a conclusion. Xu Mingye is involved in the case of Duan Yunwei's murder. Since the mission

When we arrived in Beijing, the city was never quiet again.

Xiao Chen took a step forward and replied: "Your Majesty, Duan Yunwei has three obvious marks of being bitten by wolves, but his fatal injury was three stabs in the chest by a dagger. I have already asked General Xu about that dagger.

It was the dagger worn by Mingye, the second son of the Xu family, and the imperial physician who treated Duan Yunwei at that time also confirmed that he saw Xu Mingye murder Duan Yunwei."

After saying that, Xiao Chen also looked specifically at Xu Junze. As we all know, the Xu family brothers and the Duan family brothers had a feud. Xu Minghan, the youngest son of the Xu family, was almost disfigured. There is no guarantee that Xu Mingye did not murder Duan Yunwei in order to avenge his brother.

.

But at the same time, Xiao Chen was also suspicious of this. With his many years of experience in handling cases, although Xu Mingye seemed to be an impulsive and wild young man, he did not seem to be the kind of person who was completely reckless. He always felt that there must be a hidden secret in this.

Of course, he would not rely on his feelings when investigating a case. Now that the witnesses and physical evidence are complete, it seems difficult to change Xu Mingye's murder conviction.

"Xiao Chen, we must investigate this case clearly. If it is true that the second son of the Xu family killed Duan Yunwei, I'm afraid I won't be able to save him!" After the emperor said this to Xiao Chen with a serious face, he looked at the man who remained silent.

He trusted and respected his sworn brother very much and knew that he cherished and cared for those children, but no one could condone the serious crime of violating national laws and provoking a war between the two countries.

Xu Junze understood the meaning in the emperor's eyes at this time. He was not surprised that Xu Mingye wanted to kill Duan Yunwei. What was strange to him was that with Xu Mingye's current ability, even with the help of A Lang and the secret guard, he would not be able to do it so smoothly.

Entering the house, this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface, not to mention that Xu Mingye has been complaining that he was wronged, and the secret guard is dead. The only people who know the truth are those from the Xia Kingdom and the imperial doctor who was in the house at the time.

.

Xiao Chen reassured the emperor that he would find out the truth as soon as possible, and Xu Junze also said that he would assist Xiao Chen in detecting the case.

On the way out of the palace, Xiao Chen asked Xu Junze: "If it is really found out that your second young master killed Duan Yunwei, what will you do?"

Xu Junze looked at him calmly and replied: "If you make a mistake, you must bear the consequences, no matter who he is!"

Xiao Chen seemed a little surprised that Xu Junze would say this, because no matter how big the mistakes the children of the Xu family made in the past, it was Xu Junze who stepped in to settle things for them. This time, he thought that Xu Junze would protect Xu Mingye without any principles, but

There was no intention behind his words to protect him.

"Sister Shu Ran cares about these children of the Xu family very much. If she knew about the second young master of your family, she would be very anxious, and her current body would not be able to bear it!" Xiao Chen thought for a while, but still between the two of them

When he was about to leave the palace gate, he said these words to Xu Junze. He was very worried about Lin Shuran's situation after knowing about Xu Mingye.

The last thing Xu Junze wanted to discuss with Xiao Chen was Lin Shuran's affairs. Although he could see that Lin Shuran had no feelings for Xiao Chen, and even she was deliberately avoiding Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen cared so much about his wife, he felt sad in his heart.

Somewhat uncomfortable.

Uncomfortable as it was, he didn't act like a jealous husband, but nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've already told people to hide this from her!"

Xiao Chen said no more. He could feel that he and Lin Shuran were getting farther and farther away. Perhaps being able to watch her happiness from the side would be enough for him.

Lin Shuran always felt a little uncomfortable these past two days. She couldn't tell what was weird, but she just felt something was wrong.

That day A Lang disappeared and Xu Mingye didn't come back either. Although Xu Junze returned to the house and told her that A Lang and Xu Mingye had been found, but they would stay at the farm for a while before coming back, so she didn't have to worry.

But whether it was the servants around her or the children of the Xu family, they all seemed to be deliberately avoiding her gaze, more like they were hiding something. They asked them but didn't say anything. Even Lingqin and Feiyue were like this.

Early that morning, she called her ninth son, Xu Mingsong, and her tenth son, Xu Mingsheng, to ask for new toys from the carpentry shop. However, for the first time, both of them said they were going to study and avoided seeing Lin Shuran.

.

"These two boys don't even play with toys anymore!" Lin Shuran was just pregnant, not stupid. Her intuition told her that everyone must be hiding something from her. Her family couldn't find out, so she went outside to find out the news, so she asked

Lingqin and Feiyue prepared a carriage for her, and she planned to leave the house.

"Madam, you are pregnant, what do you want me to do!" Lingqin, Feiyue and others, including Mei and others who went out to inquire about the news, were secretly searched by Xu Junze, and they were strictly ordered not to reveal anything about Xu Mingye to Lin Shuran.

Even the fifth uncle came back specifically to warn them. Now that there were rumors outside that Xu Mingye killed Duan Yunwei, if Lin Shuran went out at this time, he would probably know what happened soon.

Lin Shuran waved her hand and said: "There are some things you can't do. I have to go out in person. Go prepare the car!"

Lingqin gave Feiyue a look, and Feiyue turned around and walked out of the room, then found Nanny Zhang, and also asked someone to notify Xu Junze.

When Nanny Zhang heard that Lin Shuran was about to go out, she immediately appeared in front of her and strongly stopped her, saying: "Miss, you must not go out now. You are pregnant with a child. You should rest peacefully in the house!"

Everyone in the house knew that Lin Shuran was good-tempered and listened to others' advice, but that was because Lin Shuran usually thought that many things were innocuous. She was kind and everyone was harmonious, so there was no need to have a strong attitude or act like a mistress who was majestic and difficult to get along with.

But when she needs to be tough, she won't take a step back.

"Mommy, please don't worry about this matter. I know my own body well. Even if I am pregnant, it will not affect my travel. I am the mistress of this general. If I have to go out for something now, I will stop him no matter what.
