Chapter 30 Involved in murder case

Xiao Chen wanted to refute, but Xu Junze grasped his pain point, which was that he had married someone else and could no longer get close to Lin Shuran like before.

The two men were quarreling with each other. Lin Shuran, who was sitting nearby, pretended not to understand what they were talking about and lowered her head obediently, as if she was innocent.

"Sister Shu Ran, did you draw this portrait?" Xiao Chen still did not change his name to Lin Shuran. He took out a portrait from his arms and showed it to Lin Shuran.

Lin Shuran looked up and saw that it was the portrait of Xiao Huzi she had drawn. But why was this portrait in Xiao Chen's hands?

"Yes, I drew this, but how did this portrait get into your hands?" The big shopkeeper has always been a strict-mouthed person. Did Xiao Chen know about it from his mouth?

Seeing Lin Shuran's admission, Xiao Chen asked: "This portrait is yours at first glance, but why are you looking for the little beggar in the painting?"

Lin Shuran told him that the little beggar Xiao Huzi in the painting was Xu Minghao's good friend, but now Xu Minghao couldn't find him, and Xu Junze didn't allow him to go out, so she helped him find this friend. Then she asked Xiao Chen,

Is Xiao Huzi in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment now?

Xiao Chen nodded and said to Lin Shuran: "Luo Juanjuan, the young daughter of Luo Wenxuan, a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was killed in the mansion a few days ago. At that time, the beggar named Xiao Huzi was at the scene of the crime. He said that he only went in to steal things and did not do anything.

He wanted to kill someone, but he had the murder weapon in his hand that killed Luo Juanjuan, but he refused to say anything. I heard that someone was looking for him, so I wanted to come and ask for clues."

Lin Shuran told Xiao Chen that although Xu Minghao was friends with Xiao Huzi, he followed her to live in the farm more than a month ago. He followed Xu Mingye back to the city because he was injured. Since then, he has been looking for Xiao Huzi's whereabouts, so he and

There is no connection with this murder case.

Even if Lin Shuran didn't say anything, Xiao Chen had always known her whereabouts, and even knew that she was with Xu Junze's stepsons during this period. He felt guilty and felt sorry for Lin Shuran. If he had married her earlier, she would not have married Xu Junze.

Such a person with no father, no mother and no family background would not be the stepmother of thirteen children.

Seeing that Xiao Chen had inquired clearly, Xu Junze stood up and asked people to see him off. Although he was an official in the same dynasty, Xu Junze did not have much contact with other officials except being close to the emperor. He usually spent most of his time in the military camp. Today

He doesn't really like Mr. Xiao Chen, the Minister of Justice.

After returning home, Lin Shuran thought about it and decided to tell Xu Minghao about Xiao Huzi. However, Xu Minghao became very excited after hearing this and repeatedly stated that it was impossible for Xiao Huzi to kill anyone.

However, Xu Junze made him feel cold with one sentence: "I won't save him, and you can't save him either!"

Xu Minghao also ran in again. He looked at Xu Junze longingly, hoping that he could save his friend.

"Why?!" Xu Minghao expressed despair. If no one saves Xiao Huzi, he will definitely die.

"Father, little tiger can't kill people. Please save him, save him!" Xu Minghao suddenly started crying and begging while hugging Xu Junze's thigh. At this time, he didn't care about being afraid of Xu Junze. He usually looked like Xu Junze when he met him.

A mouse is like a cat, hiding as far as it can.

"Even if he really killed someone, according to the laws of our court, his life can be saved by paying a ransom!" Xu Junze made Xu Minghao stop crying with just one sentence.

He could see from Xu Junze's eyes that Xiao Huzi's matter was not a trivial matter, nor was it something that a child like him could intervene at will. He seemed to see the seriousness behind the situation.

But Xu Minghao was obviously even more excited. He almost yelled at Lin Shuran: "The people in the Criminal Department are not trustworthy at all. They will wrongly accuse good people. I want to see Xiao Huzi. If I go late, Xiao Huzi may die."

It’s inside!”

After saying that, Xu Minghao really rushed out, but when he just arrived at the door, he met Xu Junze. When he saw Xu Junze, he seemed aggrieved and burst into tears with a "Wow" sound.

After sending Xiao Chen away, Lin Shuran thought that Xu Junze would ask about her relationship with Xiao Chen, but Xu Junze left her with only a cold and arrogant back. She opened her mouth and seemed to have nothing to explain to him, so she had to reply.

own courtyard.

"If he didn't kill someone, he would be released naturally. If he killed someone, he wouldn't be able to get out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishments!" Xu Junze's words were without warmth, and Xu Minghao sat down on the ground. Although he was usually naughty and caused trouble, he knew there was someone behind it.

Xu Junze supported him and it was okay no matter how naughty he was, but this time it seemed different.

"Xiao Huzi is very timid. There is no way he can kill anyone! Someone from the Criminal Department must have wronged him!" Xu Minghao paced anxiously in front of Lin Shuran, even shouting that he had to go to the Criminal Department to meet someone.

Xu Junze glanced at him coldly, pulled him off his lap, then walked into the room and sat down. The maid Chunxi quickly brought hot tea, and Lin Shuran also sat down quietly beside her. She also wanted to know about Xu Junze

What do you mean by saying this? Do you want to use the power and wealth of the General's Palace to redeem Xiao Huzi from the Ministry of Punishment?

In order to pamper his stepson, would he really ignore legal principles and moral principles and not distinguish between right and wrong? The truth of the murder case has not yet been found out. The Ministry of Punishment has not yet decided whether Xiaohuzi killed the person or not. So it is obvious that he is going to get money to redeem his son now.

That's right, maybe everyone will associate this murder case with Xu Junze and think that he was the mastermind.

"Lao Qi, calm down first. What happened to Xiao Huzi is not something you, a child, can get involved in. This is a murder case in the capital. People from the Criminal Department will investigate it. If he really didn't do anything bad, he will be fine!

"Lin Shuran tried to calm down Xu Minghao. Being involved in a murder case is not a trivial matter, and Lin Shuran didn't want the Xu family to cause more trouble.

He immediately asked: "How much silver do you need to pay?"

"Is it true that the little tiger can't be saved?" Xu Minghao's eyes suddenly lost their light, and his whole person looked very lost and sad.

At this time, Lin Shuran couldn't bear it and pulled him in front of her. She looked at him as if he had lost hope and said: "Old Qi, you don't have to be too sad. I think there are a lot of doubts about this matter. Didn't you say that the little tiger is very timid?"

Well, then how dare he go to the palace of the official doctor to steal things? How did he get in? And why did he enter the room of the female family member in the back house? Apart from you, does the little tiger have any other friends? "

Hearing these questions from Lin Shuran, Xu Minghao's eyes froze, Xu Junze also looked at her slightly, and she continued to look at Xu Minghao and said: "I know you trust your friends, but after all, you are still a child who is not familiar with the world.

, I don’t know that people’s hearts are the most difficult to understand in this world, and you don’t know what Xiaohuzi has experienced, so in this situation, you must first stay calm and rational. Now only by finding out the truth of the matter can you really help Xiaohu.

son."

"Then what should I do?" Xu Minghao looked at Lin Shuran in confusion and asked.
