Hexi

Chapter 323
"The minister leads the order!"

Han Mo knelt down and bowed, his voice was as clear as a gong.

Zhen Guogong squinted at him, and resisted not making a sound.

"Okay, you all know the ins and outs of the matter, and you should know what to do. Right now the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the open. You have to act carefully."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Everyone bowed to the ground, and then they left the palace.

The prince explained as he walked under the veranda: "Remember to report any progress in time, and if you need help, just ask."

Han Mo responded one by one, and after parting ways, he quickly walked towards the palace gate.

Duke Zhen didn't catch up to him until he was under the palace gate, and held him by the arm and refused to let him go: "You boy, what's the matter with the girl of the Su family? Why don't I even know what the emperor knows?"

Han Mo had already guessed that he was going to ask this question, that's why he walked so fast. This time, he couldn't avoid it, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "It's nothing. I just asked Miss Su to go to the basement of the Defense Department for repairs last time." What about getting off the plane, but later we ran into those things above, so we did some things together."

Duke Zhen hummed and said, "Your Majesty said that girl can cure you. Could it be as simple as once or twice? Brat, why do you care so much about the Su family? You have fallen in love with Su." Little girl! You are not small, you old man and I still have nothing to do with Su Shaoqing's temper, you are promising, and you have taken aim at his daughter!"

Han Mo couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear: "Look where you said, my son and Miss Su are just friends!"

"Hey, you're still pretending to me here! Come on, I'll go home and tell your mother! Didn't she fall in love with a girl a while ago, and dare to ask for her? I'll tell her to take it easy, Going to Su's house to propose a marriage is serious!"

Hearing this, Han Mo quickly pulled him back: "Father, don't worry, the horoscope hasn't been written yet!"

"Wouldn't it be nice to propose a kiss?"

"No..." Han Mo didn't know how to tell him about Su Wei's stinky temper that no one can offend, so he could only use the emperor as a prevarication: "The emperor just entrusted me with a heavy responsibility. How can I say now?" When it comes to these things? Just pretend you don’t know! I know what’s going on in my heart, wait till I finish the court case!”

Duke Zhen refused: "Su Shaoqing has a very bad temper. If you look at his daughter, if I ignore her, then he won't come and scold me to death later? I don't want to offend him!"

Han Mo spread his hands: "Then I can't afford to offend the emperor! If I don't do this well, I will lose my head."

After hearing this, Duke Zhen couldn't hold on any longer.Then he took a step back: "The matter of marriage proposal can be postponed, and I can not talk about your mother's side, but I haven't met that girl yet, you should let me meet her anyway."

Han Mo disagreed: "This name is not right, he is a rich lady, why did he come to see you?"

"I'll just take a look! Pretend not to know you like her."

Although Han Mo was naive, he was not as straightforward as him, and he was immediately called ashamed.He said: "That can't be in vain. What gift do you give?"

Zhen Guogong said: "What does she want?"

Han Mo thought for a while and said, "Do you know Xie's family in Huizhou?"

"I know, isn't that Su Shaoqing's original Yue family?"

"That's right, Xie Yun, the owner of the Xie family, is Miss Su's uncle. Have you dealt with the Xie family?"

"I have been in contact with you a few times because of official business. How is it?"

Han Mo said: "If you must meet Miss Su, then if she is willing to come, you can try to invite the head of the Xie family to the capital, right?"

"Why is this?"

"Don't ask so many questions. Anyway, if you can do it, I'll go and tell her. She might not come yet!"

Lord Zhen was speechless.But he couldn't hold back his curiosity about the brat's eyes, and said angrily, "Isn't he just a Xie family? What's the problem? Within a month, I'll let you meet Xie Yun!"

"That's a deal!"

"get out!"

Zhen Guogong waved his hands impatiently, squinted at him happily leaving, and then quickly walked towards Dali Temple.

……

The heavy responsibility of presiding judge Chang Wei fell to Su Shou. In the past few days, Su Shou's office was crowded with people, and the threshold was almost broken, but Su Shou was still as stable as Mount Tai, and he didn't say when he would be arraigned.

At noon, he finally received a letter from Mrs. Rong to make an appointment. He put down the bowls and chopsticks and went to the place. Mrs. Rong told the story of how he arrived at Chang's house in the morning. Su Shou's mood was up and down like clouds rolling in the process of listening.The little Hades actually called Su Wei whenever something happened, the two of them had known each other for only four or five months, did they have such a good friendship?And that girl really went obediently!

He suppressed his emotions: "What do you think Chang Wei is holding?"

"Tiger Talisman." Sao Rong told him clearly. "Ms. Ning saw it with her own eyes, and Chang Wei didn't categorically deny it at the time."

Su Shou stared at the air silently for a while: "Ms. Ning didn't lie?"

"I don't think it's necessary for her to fabricate such a lie. Shizi Han and Miss Su were also there at the time, and Shizi immediately went to the palace to meet the saint."

Su Shou remained silent for a while.

Apart from Ning's words, Sao Rong did not bring back anything in kind. When she returned to the yamen, Su Shou sat in the office and continued to be silent.

When Zhen Guogong came in in the sunset, he just rolled his eyelids—Su Shou, who used to be cautious everywhere, and had to be courteous no matter where he met Zhen Guogong, after getting along for a while, he no longer wanted to pretend.Obviously he didn't even bother to perfunctory.

But Zhen Guogong was in a good mood. Thinking of his promising son silently abducting the sour and talented daughter in front of him, he began to have nothing to say: "What are you thinking? When do you plan to start the trial?"

Su Shou didn't move at all, his eyes wandered sideways on him: "Where did the Duke go all the time?"

"The emperor called me into the palace."

"Enter the palace?"

Su Shou's gaze stayed on his face.

"Because Chang Wei's wife, Mrs. Ning, revealed that Chang Wei had possessed the Tiger Talisman?"

Duke Zhen was puzzled: "How do you know this?"

Su Shou asked without answering, "What did the emperor say?"

It was rare for him to ask for help from others, Duke Zhen straightened his waist in an instant: "I can't tell you that."

Su Shouhou glanced at him, then stretched out his hand to open the cup next to him, poured a cup of tea for him: "Aren't all the tiger charms in the hands of the emperor? How could Chang Wei have tiger charms? It can't be from the resident generals, right?"

"The generals of the garrison camp who hold the Tiger Talisman must report the inscription of the Tiger Talisman every three months, which is naturally impossible."

"So the tiger talisman in the palace is lost?"

"That's even more impossible."

"Where did the tiger talisman in Chang Wei's hand come from?"

Duke Zhen gradually lost his temper, and shook his head after a while: "I don't know."

Su Shou didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, Duke Zhen asked, "When can Chang Wei be tried?"

Su Shou glanced at the sky outside, and said in a rambling voice, "Just tonight."
