Chapter 210 Re-investigation of old cases
"I heard that Master Xiao lacked two very important witnesses in the investigation!" Xu Junze looked at Xiao Chen straight to the point and said, at the same time he picked up the wine glass in front of him, and took a sip slowly.

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, but asked in an unhurried tone: "The Criminal Department has many cases to investigate, I wonder which case General Xu is talking about?"

"Liang Shunzhong, and—Ren Yong!" Xu Junze said two names, then drank all the rest of the wine in the cup, and then looked sharply at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen's expression became fierce immediately. The Ministry of Criminal Justice has been looking for the whereabouts of these two people for a long time, but after searching for a long time, there is no clue. Could it be that these two people are in Xu Junze's hands? !
Lei Zhanpeng was stunned when he heard Xu Junze's words. He had also heard about the case investigated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Now many people suspect that King Ling is related to the lost treasures of the Ren family. Even Chen Yanzhi, Prince Qing and Fang Lao Yushi are under everyone's suspicion, and everyone is guessing who is hiding those treasures.

"General Xu knows where these two are?" Xiao Chen stared at Xu Junze's face and asked.

"I know!" Xu Junze didn't deny it, and then he said, "I can hand these two people over to Master Xiao, but Master Xiao must also understand that there are many people who want their lives now, with Master Xiao's ability, Can you keep them safe?"

"You don't have to worry about General Xu. Protecting witnesses is the responsibility of the criminal department, and even more so, I, Xiao Chen, guarantee with my own life. Before the case is cleared, I will never let them have trouble." Xiao Chen's tone was firm and unwavering. said hesitantly.

"I believe Master Xiao will do what he says, but I hope you can re-investigate the old case, not only the case of the Fang family, but also the case of the Ren family, and make it clear." Xu Junze expressed his request .

Lei Zhanpeng looked at Xu Junze with a puzzled expression and asked, "Reinvestigate the old case? Why? The case of the Ren family was closed a few years ago, and reselling iron ore is a serious crime that can be punished everywhere. If the imperial decree of Shangxia is to re-examine the old case, it will be questioning the original decision of the Holy Majesty, and the Holy Majesty will not allow it."

Although Lei Zhanpeng didn't know why Xu Junze asked Xiao Chen to re-investigate the old case, but this matter is absolutely impossible, isn't this trying to embarrass the emperor!Even if the emperor is as close as brothers to Xu Junze, he would not allow it to damage the face of the king of a country.

"I know!" Xu Junze replied in a deep voice, but for the people of the Ren family who died in vain, and for Xu Minghan to be able to speak out about his identity in the future, this matter is imperative.

Xiao Chen silently looked at Xu Junze. He knew better than Lei Zhanpeng why Xu Junze had to re-investigate the old case. He had already found out the relationship between Xu Junze and Ren Ying, the young master of the Ren family, and more or less guessed the Xu family's The identity of the third young master Xu Minghan, he had someone secretly check the skeleton of the child who fell off the cliff that year, and it has been confirmed that the actual age of the skeleton does not match that of the young master of the Ren family.

Not only that, but during the investigation of Fang Lao Yushi and the Nine Golden Pagodas, he found out the case in the case, and accidentally learned that there was something hidden about the Ren family's sale of iron ore back then, and it was more like being framed by someone.

Now it seems that Xu Junze should also know these things, so he wants to reverse the case for the Ren family, of course it is also to protect himself. After all, once the charges of harboring criminals from the Ren family for many years are exposed, he and the children he adopted will still be alive. Lin Shuran will be implicated.

"It is my duty to find out the truth. As long as there are problems with the old case of the Ren family, I am duty-bound!" As long as Xiao Chen encounters an unjust, false or wrong case, he will not shrink back when he encounters any difficulties. The sufferer is wronged and rehabilitated.

Lei Zhanpeng didn't want to dampen Xiao Chen's confidence, but he still said: "Master Xiao, even if you all want to re-investigate the old case, the Holy Majesty may not allow it. You know, a few years ago, the Marquis of Wu'an led the army and the third prince of Xia Kingdom fought in the frontier , Most of the military resources needed come from the Ren family property confiscated by the imperial court, if the old case is re-investigated, what will the emperor think, what will the civil and military officials think, and what will the common people think!"

Of course Xiao Chen knew this, because Gu Jingcheng died in this battle, and he had thought of Lei Zhanpeng's words before, even when he investigated the case of Ren's family, he made a bold guess, thinking about the mastermind behind the scenes Will all of this be the emperor.

"I believe in the emperor!" Xu Junze's eyes were determined, and his tone was confident and resolute. Lei Zhanpeng and Xiao Chen both looked at him at the same time, and both of them felt his absolute trust in the emperor in his expression and voice. "I will speak to the emperor personally about this matter!"

Xu Junze said that, Lei Zhanpeng and Xiao Chen didn't express anything, they also understood that things were definitely not as easy as Xu Junze said, they all said that the king's heart is like a needle in the bottom of the sea, and accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, and they can be absolutely trusted like Xu Junze The emperor's courtiers are probably rare in the world.

And here in front of the Huaxiang Building by the Qiushui River, the crowd became even more turbulent, and someone shouted: "Lady Oiran has come out!"

In the thin veil, a pair of slender and white green onion fingers slightly lifted a corner of the veil, and then a breeze blew by, and then a voluptuous figure appeared in front of everyone. Her figure is completely exposed, and the crimson cinnabar foxtail flower tint on her forehead makes her even more white as snow and beautiful.

"Beautiful, really beautiful!" On this day, many men in the capital lost their souls in Huaxianglou.

However, Bai Shuangshuang, the oiran lady, looked melancholy in the direction of Dengchuan Tower, but the person she was most looking forward to did not come.

In a blink of an eye, it was almost the Lantern Festival again. Lin Shuran remembered the accident that happened last year when she watched the lanterns in Dengchuan Tower. Lantern is his own master, so he plans to hold a small Lantern Festival party in the General's Mansion. At that time, he will invite all the acquaintances over, and everyone will eat, drink, play and play together. It is also warm and happy, but Lei Ying Ying hasn't come back from Yunzhou, and she always feels that there is something missing without her.

Early in the morning, Lin Shuran called Xu Mingchen and the others to him, and told them his thoughts, saying that he would hold a Lantern Festival party in the mansion.

"Mother, are we really not going out to watch the lanterns this year?" The General's Mansion has never held a Lantern Festival by itself, Xu Minghao and the others thought it was quite novel.

"Don't go out. On the night of the Lantern Festival, there were too many people outside, crowded and chaotic. You are all children. What if something happens like last year? Let's celebrate the Lantern Festival at home this year. Wait until you grow up. When you’re older, you can play anywhere!” Lin Shuran took out some invitations, “You guys will send these invitations to the various prefectures later!”

"Mother, can I invite my good friends?" Xu Minghao asked with a smile. He thought of his good friend Xiao Huzi, those beggar friends, and Wei Ying.
