My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 30
Xiao Chen really wanted to refute, but Xu Junze grasped his pain point, that is, he has already married someone else, and he can no longer get close to Lin Shuran like before.

The two men were at each other's throats, and Lin Shuran, who was sitting by the side, pretended not to understand what they were talking about, and lowered her head obediently, as if innocent.

"Sister Shuran, did you draw this portrait?" Xiao Chen still did not change his address to Lin Shuran, he took out a portrait from his arms and showed it to Lin Shuran.

Lin Shuran looked up, and it was the portrait of the little tiger she drew, but why was this portrait in Xiao Chen's hands?
"That's right, I drew this, but how did you get this portrait into your hands?" The shopkeeper has always been a strict-mouthed person, did Xiao Chen know it from him?

Seeing Lin Shuran's admission, Xiao Chen asked: "I saw this portrait as your workmanship, but why did you find this little beggar in the painting?"

Lin Shuran then told him that the little beggar and little tiger in the painting was Xu Minghao's good friend, but now Xu Minghao couldn't find him, and Xu Junze didn't allow him to go out, so she helped him find this friend, and then she asked Xiao Chen, Is Xiaohuzi now in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?

Xiao Chen nodded, and he said to Lin Shuran: "Luo Juanjuan, a young girl from Luo Wenxuan, a doctor in the official department, was killed in the mansion a few days ago. At that time, this beggar named Xiao Huzi was at the scene of the crime. He said that he just went in to steal things, and did not Kill someone, but he has the weapon to kill Luo Juanjuan in his hand, but he refuses to say anything, I heard that someone is looking for him, so I want to ask for clues."

Lin Shuran then told Xiao Chen that although Xu Minghao and Xiao Huzi were friends, he followed him to live in the farm more than a month ago, and returned to the city because Xu Mingye was injured. This murder case has nothing to do with it.

Even if Lin Shuran didn't say anything, Xiao Chen knew her whereabouts all the time, and knew that she was with Xu Junze's stepsons during this time. He felt guilty and felt sorry for Lin Shuran. If he had married her earlier, she would not have married Xu Junze. Such a person who has no father, no mother, and no family background will not be the stepmother of thirteen children.

Seeing that Xiao Chen had asked clearly, Xu Junze got up and sent someone to see him off. Although he was an official in the same dynasty, Xu Junze didn't have much contact with other officials except that he was closer to the emperor. He usually stayed in the barracks most of the time. Today He didn't really like this servant of the Ministry of Punishment, Mr. Xiao Chenxiao.

After sending Xiao Chen away, Lin Shuran thought that Xu Junze would ask about her relationship with Xiao Chen, but Xu Junze only left her with a cold and arrogant back, and he opened his mouth, as if there was nothing he could explain to him, so he had to reply. own courtyard.

After going back, Lin Shuran, after thinking about it, decided to tell Xu Minghao about Xiao Huzi, but Xu Minghao seemed very excited after hearing this, and repeatedly said that it was impossible for Xiao Huzi to kill someone.

"Little Huzi is very timid, he can't possibly kill anyone! The people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice must have wronged him!" Xu Minghao anxiously paced back and forth in front of Lin Shuran, even clamoring to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to see someone.

"Lao Qi, calm down first, you, a child, can't participate in the matter of Xiao Huzi. This is a murder case in the capital, and the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice will investigate it clearly. If he really didn't do anything wrong, nothing will happen to him! "Lin Shuran tried to calm down Xu Minghao. Being involved in a murder case is not a trivial matter, and Lin Shuran didn't want the Xu family to cause more trouble.

But Xu Minghao was obviously more excited, he almost shouted at Lin Shuran in a loud voice: "The people in the Ministry of Punishment are not trustworthy at all, they will wrong good people, I am going to see the little Huzi, if I go late, maybe the little Huzi will die here inside!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Minghao really rushed out, but just when he got to the door, he ran into Xu Junze. When he saw Xu Junze, he seemed very wronged, and burst into tears with a "wow".

"Father, the little tiger won't kill people, save him quickly, save him!" Xu Minghao suddenly hugged Xu Junze's thigh and began to cry. At this moment, he didn't care about being afraid of Xu Junze anymore. Like a cat, a mouse can hide as far as it can.

"Even if he really killed someone, according to the law of my court, paying the ransom will save his life!" Xu Junze's words made Xu Minghao stop crying.

He immediately asked, "How much silver do you want to pay?"

But Xu Junze gave him a cold look, pulled him away from his lap, then walked into the room and sat down, the maid Chunxi hurriedly brought hot tea, Lin Shuran also sat down quietly beside her, she also wanted to know Xu Junze What do you mean by saying that?Is it necessary to rely on the power and wealth of the General's Mansion to redeem the little tiger from the Ministry of Punishment?
In order to pamper his stepson, would he really disregard legal principles and morals, disregarding black and white?Now the truth of the murder case has not been found out, and whether Xiao Huzi killed him or not has not yet been determined by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is obviously inappropriate to use money to redeem him now. Maybe everyone will associate this murder case with Xu Junze and think that He is the master.

Xu Minghao also ran in again, he looked at Xu Junze eagerly, hoping that he could save his friend.

However, Xu Junze gave him a chill in his heart with one sentence: "I won't save him, and you can't either!"

"Why?!" Xu Minghao expressed despair, if no one saved the little tiger, he would definitely die.

"He didn't kill anyone, so he would be released naturally. If he killed someone, he couldn't get out of the prison!" Xu Junze's words were not warm, and Xu Minghao sat on the ground when he heard Xu Minghao. Xu Junze supported him, it's okay for him to be naughty, but this time it seems to be different.

From Xu Junze's eyes, he could see that the matter of Xiao Huzi was not a trivial matter, let alone something that a child like him could interfere at will. He seemed to see the seriousness behind the situation.

"Is it true that little tiger can't be saved?" Xu Minghao's eyes suddenly lost their light, and he looked extremely lost and sad.

At this time, Lin Shuran couldn't bear it, and pulled him in front of her, looked at his hopeless eyes and said, "Lao Qi, don't be too sad. I think there are many doubts about this matter. Didn't you say that Xiao Huzi is very timid?" Well, then how dare he go to the official mansion to steal things? How did he get in? And why did he enter the room of the female family in the back house? Besides you, little tiger, do you have any other friends?"

Hearing Lin Shuran's questions, Xu Minghao's eyes froze for a moment, Xu Junze also looked sideways at her slightly, and she continued to look at Xu Minghao and said: "I know you trust your friends, but you are still a child who has not experienced much in the world after all. , I don’t know that people’s hearts are the most difficult to fathom in this world, and you don’t know exactly what Xiaohuzi went through, so in this case, you must first keep calm and rational, and now only by finding out the truth of the matter can you really help Xiaohu son."

"Then what should I do?" Xu Minghao looked at Lin Shuran in a daze and asked.
