After giving way to my husband's sweetheart

Chapter 161
A group of servants around the Huang Dajian were tightly locked in an abandoned side hall. The deputy envoy opened the door of the hall. When they saw Sima Chao, a group of servants immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, shouting grievances incessantly.

Sima Chao ordered a group of people to be brought forward. According to people around the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother had been yelling and heard something before being poisoned, so Sima Chao handed over the rest to the deputy envoy for interrogation, and he personally interrogated the three. A female Ji interrogated.

Of the three concubines, two were gifted to Huang Dajian by the former emperor, and the other was purchased from outside.

It's just that Sima Chao didn't find any clues until sunset, so he had to order someone to take them down and keep them under surveillance for the time being.

After a day and a night of tossing, Sima Chao leaned tiredly on the chair, raised his hand and squeezed the space between his brows, thinking carefully about the ins and outs of the whole case.

At this time, the manager of the palace came in, nodded to Sima Chao and said: "Young General, the adopted son of Inspector Huang is here. He said that he wanted to transport the coffin of Inspector Huang back to his hometown for a peaceful burial. You see, since he has already gone, Please show your respect, Major General."

Since the person is dead, it is useless to hold him back, Sima Chao waved his hands and said, "Just give Huang's coffin to his adoptive son."

The person in charge agreed, and made a few words with Sima Chao. Seeing Sima Chao's indifferent attitude, he retreated wisely.

After the person in charge left for a while, Sima Rui came in with two Jinyiwei deputy envoys. Sima Chao raised his eyes and asked, "How is it? Did you find any clues from those people?"

Sima Rui replied, "Not yet."

According to their many years of investigation experience, some suspects can be judged without careful examination. Sima Chao not only showed disappointment after listening to Sima Rui's words.

Sima Rui saw Sima Chao's thoughts, and he stepped forward and said: "These thieves are full of tricks and the results cannot be found out in a short time. Cousin, don't be anxious."

Sima Chao waved away the other deputy envoys, and only said to Sima Rui: "Why do I feel that we are being played by thieves all the time, I feel so uneasy."

"These thieves are really cunning." Sima Rui couldn't help becoming annoyed when he heard Sima Chao's complaint, and Xu Xu said, "If we hadn't taken the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, how could they have succeeded so easily, don't worry, cousin. The chief culprit of the thief must still be hiding in the palace, as long as time is given, the brothers will definitely be able to interrogate him."

"Not good!" Before Sima Rui finished speaking, Sima Chao stood up suddenly and said sharply, "Quickly stop that adopted son of Supervisor Huang."

Sima Rui couldn't help being startled, and asked in confusion, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?"

Sima Chao asked, "Where is the body of Chief Supervisor Huang?"

"When I came here just now, I saw that Huang's coffin had been taken away by his adopted son." Sima Rui asked in surprise: "Cousin, is there anything wrong?"

Sima Chao didn't have time to explain, strode out of the room, and hurriedly replied: "It's too late to elaborate, order someone to stop that Huang."

With that said, Sima Chao led Sima Rui and others and chased him out. When they arrived at the entrance of the palace, Sima Chao asked the guard anxiously: "In which direction did you see the adopted son of Huang Dajian carrying the coffin?"

Seeing Sima Chao's anxious expression, the gatekeeper hurriedly pointed out a direction, and replied, "I've been gone for a quarter of an hour."

When Sima Chao heard the words, without saying a word, he led a group of people and hurriedly chased in the direction pointed by the gatekeeper.

Fortunately, the man hadn't gone far, and when he caught up with him, Sima Chao ordered his Jin Yiwei to surround the chariot and horsemen.

The adoptive son of Huang Dajian was named Huang Ying, he hurriedly stepped forward to argue with Sima Chao: "Young general, my adoptive father was the late emperor's confidant, and now she died of an unfortunate illness, why did the major general stop my adoptive father's carriage and coffin. "

Sima Chao didn't talk to her too much, he just ordered to his subordinates: "Go and open the coffin and search it carefully for me."

Hearing this, Huang Ying hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, yelling: "Young general, this is disrespect to the deceased. You, you are doing this, it's not appropriate."

Three or two Jin Yiwei stepped forward to stop Huang Ying, and shouted: "Speak less, it will delay our Jin Yiwei's handling of the case, ten lives are not enough for you."

Saying so, several other Jin Yiwei stepped forward, pried open the coffin in twos and twos, searched carefully, and then replied to Sima Chao: "General, there are no hidden compartments inside, and no one is hidden inside." .”

Seeing this, Huang Ying became more reasonable, broke free from the shackles, and yelled loudly: "My adoptive father is a celebrity around the late emperor. He served the late emperor all his life. Even the new emperor wants to call him a master. You guys If you are rude again, I will report to His Majesty, my adoptive father devoted himself to the royal family, but you let him have no peace after his death, if His Majesty blames it, even if you are Jin Yiwei, you will not be able to bear the blame."

No matter how Huang Ying called, Sima Chao just turned a deaf ear. He pointed to another carriage and horses brought by Huang Ying and ordered his men: "Go and have a look in the carriage."

Huang Ying was startled and hurriedly shouted: "Those are my female relatives, you, you are too rude."

Two Jinyi guards stepped forward and opened the car door, only to see an old woman and two little girls inside. When the women saw their foreign husband, they all screamed in fear.

Jin Yiwei drove the man out of the car. The old woman looked to be in her 50s, her hair was already grey, but she combed it meticulously. The two young girls were only fifteen or sixteen years old. They looked like they were dressed to serve the master. After the two of them were driven out of the car, they hid behind the old woman in fright, trembling and not daring to make a sound, but the old woman was still calm. Wanting to speak angrily, he glanced at Sima Chao who was not far away, but he didn't curse after all.

The two men got into the car and searched it, then came over and replied to Sima Chao: "Except for these three people in the car, there is nothing suspicious."

Sima Chao looked at Huang Ying and asked, "Who are they?"

Huang Ying pouted and replied, "This is my adoptive father's wife, my adoptive mother."

It is not uncommon for many powerful eunuchs to raise wives and adopt adopted sons like normal men.

Sima Chao was sitting on a tall horse. After listening to Huang Ying's words, he glanced at the old woman from a distance. When the old woman saw him approaching, she simply turned to the other side angrily.

At this moment, the two little girls had recovered from the shock just now, and they saw that Sima Chao was the leader of this gang, so they came forward, wiping their tears, kneeling tremblingly and begging: "Master Passed away from illness, the old lady is not very sad, please hold your hand high, and let us go home so that the master can be buried in peace, my lord, we are all innocent citizens, please."

The two little girls were sobbing and sobbing, looking very pitiful.

Sima Rui on the side looked soft-hearted, and stepped forward to persuade Sima Chao: "Since nothing suspicious was found in the search, let them go."

At this moment, Sima Chao's face turned gloomy, and he said coldly to the old woman standing in the distance, "You, come here."
