The outer chamber is not what I want, the general will send you a sword!

Chapter 124 Qu Renjie's Secret (2)

How could his letter to Li Feng be in the hands of the emperor!

Turning to look at Xia Jin, seeing a sneer on the corner of her mouth, Qu Renjie seemed to have fallen into an ice cave for a moment!

He slowly clenched the hands in his sleeves, hating himself for underestimating this woman and not killing her earlier!

"Qu Renjie, I'm asking you something!" The old emperor shouted sharply.

Qu Renjie had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "Your Majesty, I have never seen these letters before!"

Prime Minister Qu standing on one side took in the panic in Qu Renjie's eyes. He asked Qu Renjie to protect Dongmenqian, but he didn't ask him to kill someone!
Prime Minister Qu was annoyed, but in the end Qu Renjie was his son, so he naturally wanted to protect him.

"Your Majesty, Gou Zi has already said that he has never seen these letters. It is obvious that Xia Jin deliberately framed them! Such slander is extremely rampant! Please punish him severely!"

"Whether it's framed or not, the emperor just needs to get a pen and paper and ask him to write his name, and then compare the handwriting to find out!" Xia Jin said lightly.

Prime Minister Qu snorted coldly, and retorted: "Handwriting can be forged!"

"Since Prime Minister Qu thinks these letters are fake and the handwriting can be forged, does that mean the seal of the Prime Minister's Mansion has also been imitated?" Xia Jin smiled.

"If someone intends to frame him, he will naturally be more prepared!" Prime Minister Qu stroked his beard.

Xia Jin looked at the emperor, cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, the grassroots have witnesses who can prove that these letters are true!"

"Bring it up!" said the old emperor.

Xia Jin looked outside the hall, "General!"

Lin Ziyi walked in, and Qi Hua followed behind him, escorting Zhang Heng who was tied up by five flowers.

When seeing Zhang Heng, Qu Renjie's expression became even uglier!
He lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and then looked at Prime Minister Qu for help.

Prime Minister Qu's face was livid, and he gave him a look to make him calm down.

Lin Ziyi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, he is the assassin who was sent out mentioned in the letter, and he was at the scene on the day Dongmenqian died!"

"Zhang Heng, tell me everything you know!" Lin Ziyi looked at Zhang Heng.

When Zhang Heng came, he promised to confess, but when he saw Prime Minister Qu and Qu Renjie in the hall, he started to look away.

"The man... was... I killed him!"

Seeing that he pleaded guilty, Xia Jin took a step forward and said, "Whoever bribed you, the emperor will decide for you, just tell the truth!"

"No one bought it, I wanted to kill him myself!" Zhang Heng lowered his head, not daring to look into Xia Jin's eyes.

"You are lying! It is Qu Renjie who bribed you to kill!"

"No! Absolutely not. What I do, I take care of myself, and no one instigates me!" Zhang Heng raised his head with firm eyes!

Seeing that he did not confess himself, Qu Renjie heaved a long sigh of relief!

Prime Minister Qu coughed as a reminder, and then he restrained the change in expression.

"Your Majesty, this person has already confessed, and he probably forged those letters!" Prime Minister Qu glanced at Zhang Heng.

"Is there such a thing?" he asked.

Zhang Heng nodded, "I forged it!"

"Since he has already confessed, someone here will tie him up and send him to Dongmen's house to explain, and this matter will come to an end! Retire!"

The old emperor stood up, and all the officials saluted. They only stood up and walked out of the hall after the emperor left.

Before leaving, Xia Jin glanced at Qu Renjie, and seeing his smug face, Xia Jin felt restless!

She didn't understand why Zhang Heng would repent temporarily, and he had already explained it when he came!
Along the way, Xia Jin didn't speak. Seeing that she was depressed, Lin Ziyi comforted her, "This trip to Xuerong City is to clean up your grievances. Now that the goal has been achieved, you should be happy."

Xia Jin looked at Lin Ziyi, and saw that Lin Ziyi was not angry or surprised at all, as if all this was within his expectation.

"General, did you already know that Zhang Heng was going to take full responsibility?" Xia Jin asked.

Lin Ziyi did not deny it, "If Zhang Heng confesses completely, he will definitely involve his family, who is far away from Xuerong City and is not under the emperor's jurisdiction. There will be a lot of trouble."

"So, you already knew?" Xia Jin looked at him.

Lin Ziyi leaned on the carriage and said: "Li Xiaotian is not a simple person. It is not an easy task to develop Xuerong City to the present and become a delicate balance point for all countries. It takes a big strategy to deal with the country, do you think, can he not know me?"

"So, he already knew our identities?" Xia Jin asked me.

Lin Ziyi nodded, "Not only does he know, but he also knows what we are here for. The reason why he allowed us to investigate in Xuerong City is to use us to expel his eldest son Li Feng, while Zhang Heng It was also arranged by him, otherwise you think we can get out of the city smoothly?"

Xia Jin carefully recalled that, as Lin Ziyi said, almost everything went smoothly after they entered the city, and Li Xiaotian was not as difficult to deal with as the rumors said.

It turned out that he did it on purpose!
What an old fox he is!
Looking at the man sitting next to him, even when he clearly knew the other party's purpose, he still acted with him. This man is quite dark-bellied...

However, no matter what, just as Lin Ziyi said, their goal has been achieved!

Xia Jin didn't lose out on this trip, she got a cheap apprentice, and also got two pieces of Lingyu and cryolite.

Lin Ziyi parked the carriage at the entrance of Xia Zhai, Xia Jin got out of the carriage, watched the carriage go away, opened the door and walked in.

Seeing Xia Jin came back, Zhang Ma and Siji, who had been waiting in the house for a long time, surrounded her.

"Miss, you are back!"

Siji's eyelids were thin, and he cried with joy.

"It's good when you're back, you're hungry, Mama Zhang is going to cook!" Mama Zhang turned her back, pulled her sleeves and wiped her eyes.

In the past few days, they were all very worried, not only because of Xia Jin's delay in coming back, but also because of Xia Jin's safety.

Seeing her come back safe and sound now, the hanging heart can be regarded as put back in the stomach.

Back at the house she hadn't seen for a long time, Xia Jin relaxed her whole body. After a few days of eating and sleeping, she went to the mine a few times, her whole body was dirty.

Xia Jin planned to take a bath and change clothes before eating. Four seasons had prepared hot water for Xia Jin, and Xia Jin sat in the barrel after putting the water in.

The moment the warm water enveloped the body, the whole body relaxed.

"It's still comfortable here!" Xia Jin leaned lazily in the tub and closed her eyes comfortably.

Siji rubbed Xia Jin's shoulders with a bath towel, and said while rubbing, "Fortunately, Miss is back, otherwise I don't know how to explain to the old lady."

Xia Jin opened her eyes and looked at Four Seasons!
"Old lady, are you here?"
