Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 580 Changing the emperor’s surname and making an official (2)
Unexpectedly, that night, the two housekeepers of the Hu family fought in the brothel for the Persian beauty, and killed three of them, but they were thrown from upstairs by the other's men and fell to their deaths.

The two young masters from the Hu family belonged to the same group as the two butlers. They ordered the killing and participated in it. They were taken to the yamen by the officials to record their statements.

"When did you and the two deceased arrive at the brothel?"

"About this afternoon."

"How many times have you entered the brothel with the two deceased?"

"This is the first time, I just came to see it, and I didn't ask for a girl."

"When and where did you see the two deceased today?"

"That is, I met in the clan before noon."

"Before this noon, the two deceased had been in the clan?"

"They are the stewards of the clan, and they have to deal with affairs in the clan every morning, so they naturally stay in the clan."

The confessions of the two young masters proved that the two housekeepers were in the Hu clan in the morning, and Chang'an Changshi sent the servants to the Hu clan to fetch people in the morning, and the reply was that the two housekeepers were in other places.

When Chang'an Changshi saw this confession, he slapped the table angrily, and cursed: "You have committed a crime, you can't live. After the case is tried, you will report it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice!"

The people of the Hu tribe believed that the death of the two stewards was related to He Jingxin, so they sent the former fifth son-in-law Hu Yunfeng to Qing Palace to negotiate with He Qing.

Didn't Hu Yunfeng head back to Prince Qing's mansion, saw the chief steward Liu He, and said: "I have something important to do and I must see the prince right now."

Although Liu He is the chief steward, he has a fourth-rank official position and is the head of the royal family who was conferred by the court. He is much more honorable than Hu Yunfeng who only has the fame of raising others. He said solemnly: "If you have anything to say, just tell me. yes."

Hu Yunfeng said coldly: "The big case involving five lives has something to do with your Xin County King. Can you be the master?"

Liu He raised his eyebrows and said: "The king of my county abides by the law, so he won't have anything to do with the brothel and the murder case. Besides, there are Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the big murder case, so there is no need for you to come forward. Come and see off the guests!"

Hu Yunfeng turned livid and left to return to the Hu clan.

His biological father, Hu Kai, had been removed from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment as early as the year before last, and was sent to Henan Province as the governor.

The current Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is He Dong's man, and he handles affairs with his official duties, with a stern face and a selfless face.

The Hu family was afraid that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment would sentence the two sons to exile for three thousand miles in accordance with the law.

Hu Yunfeng's grandfather, Patriarch Hu, had to go to Prince Qing's mansion in person.

In less than an hour, people from the Hu tribe celebrated the palace for the second time.Seeing that Liu He was the head of the Hu clan, he had no choice but to wake up He Qing who had fallen asleep early.

He Qing went out of the house, and Liu He reported the homicide in the brothel in a low voice.

He Qing's head was buzzing, his face was pale, and he muttered: "The two stewards just died like this?"

"My lord, tell Patriarch Hu to wait in the hall. Come and have a sip of tea first." Liu He knew that his lord was timid, and he was afraid that Patriarch Hu would randomly do what he shouldn't if he went. , said calmly: "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with the little county king. You don't need to pay attention to Patriarch Hu."

After He Qing had tea, he thought what Liu He said was very reasonable, and with confidence, he went to the hall of the main courtyard.

Patriarch Hu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the death of the two servants of my family may be related to the death of the Xin County King of your mansion. If this matter gets worse, it will not be good for the reputation of Prince Qing's mansion and our family. .”

He Qing's eyes widened.

Patriarch Hu saw He Qing's surprised eyes, and continued: "My lord sent a message to Chang'an Changshi to close the case, and then compensate the family with 2 taels of silver, and the matter will be considered over."

This matter has nothing to do with He Jingxin, the Hu clan dared to slander He Jingxin, and even dared to ask He Qing to come forward to help the Hu clan settle the matter, the most annoying thing was that they wanted 2 taels of silver.

Anger appeared on He Qing's fat face, he got up and said, "See off the guests!" Then, regardless of the astonishment on Patriarch Hu's face, he left without looking back.

Patriarch Hu was invited out of Prince Qing's mansion, and he was refused to marry his granddaughter in before. This is the third time he has been rejected by King Qing.

Patriarch Hu was so angry that he wanted to smash the door plaque of Prince Qing's mansion.

When he returned, he ordered people to thoroughly investigate all the people in Prince Qing's Mansion. As long as anyone had something to do with the murder in the brothel, he would firmly insist that he had something to do with He Jingxin. It would depend on how the Ministry of Punishment would sentence him.

Unexpectedly, after such an investigation, the truth found out made him so angry that he had a stroke.

It turned out that the person behind the incident was He Jinglian, who was of Hu clan blood, the granddaughter of the patriarch Hu's concubine, and had nothing to do with Prince Qing's mansion.

The reason why He Jinglian did this was that people who took revenge on the Hu family poisoned her to cause a miscarriage last month.

It has been almost four months since He Jinglian was pregnant with the child of the envoy of the Eastern Roman Empire. The envoy finally had an heir, so he doted on her in every possible way.

Unexpectedly, her ex-husband, Hu Yunfeng, was so jealous that she arranged for servants from the family to sneak into the princess mansion and killed the child in He Jinglian's womb.

He Jinglian was so angry that she went crazy, and the envoy was extremely angry.

As soon as the couple came together, they set up a brothel Persian beauty scheme, originally aimed at Hu Yunfeng, who knew that this guy didn't go that day, but the other two sons of the Hu clan went, which was unfortunately related to the murder case.

The Hu family sued He Jinglian and the envoy of the Eastern Roman Empire.This time Hu Yunfeng wanted He Jinglian to lose her princess status.

It's just that the Hu family's evidence was insufficient, and He Jinglian and the envoy of the Eastern Roman Empire were not sued, and He Dong indirectly learned that Hu Yunfeng had killed his unborn grandson.

The two sons of the Hu family won the honor of juren and were sentenced to exile for three thousand miles in the south.

As for Hu Yunfeng, He Dong spread the word that he will not be allowed to be an official in the court in this life, which cut off his official career.

Li Bing listened to Li Yunqing's report on the follow-up of the brothel incident in the study of the Yuejingyuan of the Li Mansion, nodded and said: "Leave no trace. Good job."

Li Yunqing left the Yuejing Courtyard to pay his respects to Mrs. He.

He Shi smiled and said, "Recently there have been fewer rumors in Chang'an about the marriage of your sister's brother-in-law Xin Lang."

Li Yunqing said in a low voice: "Jing Yan and his younger sister are far away in Longbei, so I don't care about the damage to Jing Xin's reputation, so I just take care of it."

Who would have thought that it was Li Yunqing from Li's mansion who contributed to the brothel incident.

In the exquisite gazebo of the Second Princess Mansion, He Jingrong is teasing his little nephew Hu Ranhao.

When she learned that Ding Routang had become the princess of the Zhunjun County, she was extremely shocked, and then thought of the deep hatred between the Liu family and Ding Routang, and her mother's family was the Liu family.

She was really worried that after Ding Routang married into Prince Qing's mansion, he would see a doctor from Li Jingjing's nephew Hu Ranhao.

So she went to the palace, and after reporting to He Dong and Murong Ying, she agreed to take Hu Ranhao to Longbei in two days.

After a while, He Jinglian came at the invitation, but this time she still did not bring an envoy.
