Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 54 Chapter 54: Song Zhu finds death every step of the way
Huo Ying knew that he would say that, Yingting's brows and eyes did not fluctuate at all, he put his hands on his knees, and looked at Song Zhu with sharp eyes: "The third son does not need to explain your brotherhood to me, the current problem Yes, everyone's confession shows that they got the third young master's instruction, and the third young master's instruction is not limited to this one thing, it also includes refusing all the restaurants and inns of Chen Liu on the grounds that they are full. Set him up in a remote place."

"What? Master Huo even cares about how I arrange my brother?" Song Zhu no longer wanted to be polite to Huo Ying.

It's just a chess piece, and I don't even count how many catties I have.

Huo Ying's expression was flat, and he was completely unaffected by him: "I don't care, but this matter is too different from the brotherly harmony that the third son said."

The lie was exposed, and Song Zhu's expression became more and more ugly, but he didn't pretend anymore: "It's just that these scumbags are guessing. I just asked them to make some troubles for Yuan'er, who knows that people will die."

"It's reasonable for the son to say so. I will report it truthfully."

He didn't want to argue with Song Zhu about the truth and falsehood. There was no evidence that Song Zhu had clearly stated that he wanted to kill someone in the confession, so he just had to submit it truthfully. As for how Donggong would guess and use this matter, it had nothing to do with him. .

Song Zhu immediately suppressed the confession, leaned forward leaning on the table and approached Huo Ying, and said in a low voice, "Lord Huo, there is no need to bring this matter to the imperial court."

"All cases involving the children of the royal family must be reported to the emperor." Huo Ying was very stubborn and rigid.

Song Zhu really wanted to punch him in the face, so he smiled sinisterly: "Master Huo, I really have nothing to do with this case, so it's okay for the people below to speculate on their own?"

"It's true that it has nothing to do with the son, but the reputation of the ninth son is involved in this case. If it is not explained in a letter, it will be difficult to explain if someone spreads rumors and nonsense in the future."

Hearing this, Song Zhu's complexion became even uglier, knowing that Huo Ying could not be persuaded, he could only suppress his anger and find other ways to make peace.

Once this matter comes to the imperial court, let alone Donggong will make use of it, I am afraid that Song Chun will be the first to make trouble for himself.

"If Yuan'er doesn't care about this matter, there's no need to make a fuss in front of the imperial court." Song Zhu thought of a breakthrough.

Song Yuan is a teenager, what good and bad can he weigh?I can't convince Huo Ying, and I can't hold down a child?If you dare to be disobedient, let him come and go.

Huo Ying knew what he wanted to do and didn't stop him: "It stands to reason that's true, but according to the rules, it must be performed."

"Don't be ignorant of flattery." Song Zhu was annoyed: "Take such a small matter so seriously, Mr. Huo, you don't understand the four words of human affection and worldly wisdom at all."

Huo Ying still looked at him calmly: "Speaking of favors with Ting Wei's mansion, are you confused?"

Song Zhu felt that he was mocking him, and clenched his fists suddenly, and the soldiers beside Huo Ying immediately put their hands on the handle of the knife.

The soldiers of Tingwei Mansion are only responsible to the emperor and Huo Ying, even if Song Zhu is the emperor's grandson, they can do it, no matter the casualties, they will not be held accountable.

After weighing the price of being tough with Huo Ying, Song Zhu chose to endure.

He shook his sleeves and wanted to leave, Huo Ying said again: "This matter is over, and there is one more thing that needs to be explained clearly by the young master. Private collection of tax money is expressly prohibited by the law of the court. If you know the law and break the law, what should you do?"

Song Zhu's footsteps were firmly fixed, and a chill hit his whole body. Even if he didn't turn his head, he could feel Huo Ying's sharp eyes examining him.

Damn it, this Huo guy is so hateful!

"My lord, please explain." Huo Ying reasonablely gave him a chance to argue.

Song Zhu stabilized his mind and turned around pretending not to know: "I don't understand Master Huo's words, when did I collect tax money privately?"

"Since it's not collecting tax money privately, is it corruption and bribery or extortion?" Huo Ying asked him to choose.

Song Zhu gritted his teeth again, looked at Huo Ying, and the thought of killing him became stronger and stronger: "Nothing, there is no proof, Master Huo can't talk nonsense."

"There is evidence." Huo Ying pushed forward the account book in front of him: "Chenliu's merchants gave the son a lot of filial money. This account book is only for one family. I have nine copies in my hand, 17 taels, which have not been delivered. I'm afraid there are more scattered accounts in my hands, such a large amount, according to the law of the Great Wei, it should be cut off."

Song Zhu suddenly became murderous: "Master Huo is poor, I would like to give 10 taels of silver for Mr. Huo to have fun."

"Bribe the court captain, the crime will be increased." Huo Ying refused to enter.

Song Zhu was furious, this time he didn't care about Huo Ying any more, and left without letting anyone stop him.

He didn't come to investigate Song Zhu in the first place, if he hadn't done things for Song Yuan that day, he wouldn't have been able to talk about so many things.

It was another night of heavy snow, and the snow was even thicker. Song Yuan came out of the inn with great pains, and went to the yamen early to wait for Song Zhu, but half an hour passed without seeing him.

"Want to procrastinate now?" Wei Yan waited impatiently.

He was eager to finish what Song Chun had told him, and he wished he could go back with his witnesses and take advantage of the opportunity to report Song Zhu's various crimes to Song Chun.

Song Yuan is not in a hurry, she has already thought about handing over the identity card to Huo Ying, so she doesn't care whether Song Zhu hand it over or not, as for reporting on Song Zhu... the harmony between brothers is the most important thing, how can a younger brother provoke elder brothers relationship?If Wei Yan wants to report, it means that his heart is attached to the old master, so what does it have to do with him?

"Master Jiu, the third master has gone to the yamen to see Mr. Huo, and he may ask Mr. Jiu to wait." The court official came to fool people again.

Song Yuan smiled and nodded: "It's okay, third brother will do his own business first."

She was very talkative, and the court officer had no scruples anymore, and went back to busy with his own affairs.

Song Zhu didn't show up until noon, and Wei Yan couldn't help calling the court officer over: "My lord handles official affairs for the prince in addition to handling military affairs. The third son has more affairs than the lord, and he can't do it after such a long time." show up?"

"The third master is busy, so he can't leave military affairs behind. If the elder son is not used to it, he can come to see the third master by himself." The official came back forcefully.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and Song Yuan was surprised.

She immersed herself in her studies and didn't care about other things. Didn't she expect that the struggle between her brothers would be so obvious?

"Today, we must take away witnesses."

"Without the order of the third master, no one can take away the witness card."

They were already ready to fight, and the guards outside the house and the officers and soldiers of the yamen also confronted each other, just waiting for a chance to fight.

"Da da da~" Someone trotted in, completely ignoring the two groups of people who were fighting each other, and walked towards Song Yuan who was sitting still: "Ninth son, my lord, please go and recognize someone."

Hmm~ this is interesting.

Song Yuan deliberately asked: "The third son has returned from your lord?"

The messenger was taken aback for a moment, and replied honestly: "The third young master had already met my lord last night, but he didn't go there today."

"Hmph!" Wei Yan laughed, and let out a cold snort, which gave him a reason to vent his anger.

The court official's face turned blue and white, and he looked at Song Yuan with a hint of timidity.

"So it's not that I'm not here, it's that I don't want to see me on purpose." Song Yuan got up: "It's just that this time, I have to bring the witness card back to the prince no matter what. Bar."
