Chapter 240
When Mr. Xu heard Huo Jiancheng's words, he shook his head with a dry smile and said, "I know that Luo Xing was not killed by you."

Hearing Master Xu's answer, Huo Zhirou said with a sneer: "Master Xu, since you know that we didn't kill you, why did you come here today?"

Master Xu looked at the displeasure on Huo Zhirou's face, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "Miss Huo, I came here today to ask you about Luo Xing's funeral arrangements, what should I say, Luo Xing Because he is your biological father, and now his body is in the morgue of the Yamen, it is impossible for this official to throw him into a mass grave."

When Huo Zhirou heard Master Xu's words, his light eyes swept over him, "Master Xu, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is very clear. Miss Huo brought Luo Xingwei back and arranged for his funeral!" Mr. Xu said bluntly to Huo Zhirou.

Huo Zhirou chuckled when he heard these words, but his eyes showed a mocking look, "Master Xu, you must know that Luo Xingwei is no longer a member of the Huo family, and he has nothing to do with the Huo family. Take it, what is his identity? I'm afraid that if I take him back, the ancestors of the Huo family will call me an unworthy descendant in the underground!"

"You..." Master Xu didn't expect that Huo Zhirou would refuse, how could Luo Xingwei be her father, and Huo Zhirou didn't even arrange for the funeral!

"Miss Huo, after all, he is your biological father, and he committed suicide because of you!" Master Xu looked at Huo Zhirou with a gloomy expression.

Hearing Master Xu's reprimand, Huo Zhirou sneered and said, "Our reason? Master Xu, as far as I know, Luo Xingwei was imprisoned by you and committed suicide after he came out. Maybe you are in the prison It was the torture that made him unbearable and committed suicide!"

"Miss Huo, you are slandering me!" Mr. Xu's face turned livid when he heard Huo Zhirou's words.

The corner of Huo Zhirou's mouth curled into a sarcasm, "Master Xu, you must be very clear about whether I have slandered you, don't you?"

"You...you slandered the imperial court official, believe it or not, this official will put you in prison right now!" Xu Da stood up in anger, and stared at Huo Zhirou angrily.

Yuan Bohan watched Master Xu glaring at Huo Zhirou angrily, and said in a faint voice: "Master Xu, who do you want to put in prison?"

Yuan Bohan's non-threatening words instantly wiped out the anger on Mr. Xu's face. A terrified expression appeared on his face. How could he have forgotten that Yuan Bohan was still sitting here. This guy is Huo Zhi Soft to rely on.

Master Xu's momentum suddenly weakened, and he said to Yuan Bohan flatteringly: "Well, Master Yuan, I said something wrong."

The guard standing in the position of Master Xu snorted coldly when he heard Master Xu's weak words, with contempt in his eyes.

His snort made the soles of Master Xu's feet shudder, and Yuan Bohan squinted his eyes at the guard.

At this time Master Xu burst into tears in his heart, and now he feels that there is a tiger in front and a wolf in the back, making him unable to advance or retreat.

Huo Zhirou looked at Master Xu with a look of fear on his face, a sneer flashed across his eyes, and said in a faint voice: "Master Xu, even if you put me in prison, I will not take Luo Xingwei's body with you." Those who went back to the Huo family, after Luo Xing was expelled here for violating the Huo family's rules, even if he died, he couldn't step in here! But Master Xu is right, how can he be my biological father!"

When Master Xu heard Huo Zhirou's last words, his eyes lit up instantly, and he said to Huo Zhirou: "Miss Huo, you are right, there is no overnight feud between father and daughter!"

"Hehe!" Huo Zhirou sneered, "Yes! There is no overnight feud, how about this, I will give Mr. Xu money, and I will trouble Mr. Xu to arrange him and arrange his funeral!"

Huo Zhirou's words immediately froze Master Xu's expression, "Miss Huo, you asked me to arrange Luo Xing's funeral?"

"That's right!" Huo Zhirou nodded, "Didn't Lord Xu worry that Luo Xingwei would not be buried for him just now? My relationship with his father and daughter has been broken long ago. If we arrange his funeral, we must Those who wear sackcloth and filial piety will be scolded by their ancestors, so ah! I will trouble Mr. Xu, don’t worry, I will give you labor fees!"

When Master Xu heard Huo Zhirou's words, the corners of his mouth twitched, labor fee!

Huo Zhirou looked sideways at Huo Jiancheng, "Brother, do you think I can do this?"

Huo Jiancheng heard Huo Zhirou's words, nodded and said with a smile: "Sister, you made a good decision! Uncle Cao, go to the warehouse and get 100 taels of silver."

"Yes, master!" Hearing Huo Jiancheng's words, Butler Cao walked out of the hall quickly.

Huo Jiancheng looked sideways at Master Xu, who had an ugly face, and said to Master Xu, "Master Xu, you can give him a simple funeral, and I will buy you drinks for the rest of the money."

"Mr. Huo, why don't you let the servants of Huo's mansion do such a thing?" Mr. Xu asked through gritted teeth when he heard Huo Jiancheng's words.

Huo Jiancheng heard Master Xu's words, sighed softly, shook his head, and said: "Master Xu, we have our own difficulties. Master Xu, you are the parent officer of Jincheng. Please trouble you with this matter. Our brothers and sisters are grateful." Endless!"

"I don't need your gratitude! After all, Luo Xingwei is your father. Now that he is dead, you haven't settled his funeral properly. Let him know how sad he is. Don't you be afraid? He Did you come to see you in the middle of the night?" Mr. Xu looked directly at Huo Zhirou and Huo Jiancheng with a pair of cloudy eyes.

At this time, Yuan Bohan said: "Master Xu, I think what Mr. Xu should be worried about is that Luo Xing is looking for you in order to turn into a ghost!"

"Master Yuan, what do you mean?" Master Xu stood up grimly upon hearing Yuan Bohan's words.

Yuan Bohan looked at Master Xu with a sneer, and said to him: "Master Xu, why Luo Xing died, I think you are very clear, don't you?"

"You...I don't understand what you mean!" Mr. Xu retorted.

Yuan Bohan looked at Master Xu's eagerness to refute, and the smile on his face became even brighter, "Master Xu, do you understand or not? You know me. Do you think that with Yuanmen's ability, it is impossible to find out that Luo Xing is the real one?" Cause of death?"

Yuan Bohan's words immediately made Mr. Xu look guilty. At this time, he was a little weak under Yuan Bohan's strong pressure. When he was about to lose, he only heard the silent man behind him. The guard said in a cold voice: "My lord, there are still many official duties to be dealt with in the government office!"

The guard's words made Mr. Xu suddenly wake up as if he had been poured with cold water. He almost knelt down just now.

Yuan Bohan looked straight at the guard who interrupted with profound eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, which immediately made the guard lower his head, not daring to look directly at Yuan Bohan.

"Yes, yes, yes! I still have official duties to deal with. Mr. Huo and Ms. Huo, you should think about it carefully. Although Luo Xingwei made a big mistake in the past, his mistakes have also been brought to the spring. After all, You are the sons and daughters of men, it is the right thing to let him leave with peace of mind, I am gone!" Master Xu didn't care that at this time Yuan Bohan noticed the abnormality of the guard behind him, and said anxiously, after finishing speaking, he quickly step outside.

The people present did not stop him, allowing him to leave the hall.

When Butler Cao came over with 100 taels of silver, he found that Mr. Xu was no longer in the hall. He said in astonishment, "Mr. Xu has left?"

Huo Jiancheng heard Steward Cao's question, and immediately said, "Let's go, Uncle Cao, put the money back in the warehouse."

When Steward Cao heard Huo Jiancheng's words, he nodded in a daze, and backed out.

"Bo Han, that guard just now was not simple!" Huo Zhirou said aloud when there were only three of them left in the hall.

Yuan Bohan nodded, and said with a sneer: "Perhaps this guard was sent by the descendants of the murderer!"

"How about arresting that guy and interrogating him?" Huo Zhirou said to Yuan Bohan with a smirk on his lips.

Yuan Bohan looked at the expression on Huo Zhirou's face, if it wasn't for the fact that Huo Jiancheng was still present, he would have wanted to hug this person and kiss her.

At this moment, Mr. Xu who left Huo's mansion wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and the guard beside him snorted coldly when he saw his cowardly appearance.

Master Xu shuddered when he heard the guard's cold snort, and then he said flatteringly to the guard: "Thank you guard, that Huo Zhirou and Huo Jiancheng are so unfilial, they don't even care about their father!"

"My lord Xu, if the lord knows that you are not doing well, do you think he will still trust you?" The guard interrupted lord Xu's explanation and said in a cold voice.

Master Xu's face turned pale when he heard the guard's words, and with a bitter face, he begged him and said, "Thank you guard, it's not that I don't want to do my best, you see that there is something behind the brothers and sisters of the Huo family. With Yuan Bohan's support, I want to force them to bring Luo Xingwei out, but they are not willing!"

"Okay, shut up!" The guard yelled angrily, "I don't even know where this place is, I'll talk about it when I go back!"

"Yes, yes!" Mr. Xu said dog-leggedly.

Back at the magistrate's yamen, Lord Xu flatteringly said to the guard: "Thank you guard, since Huo Zhirou and Huo Jiancheng don't follow what we said, shall we proceed to the next step?"

The guard sitting on the chair looked at Master Xu, who was dog-legged in front of him, and said with a faint "hmm", "Do it beautifully, otherwise the prince will blame me for this matter, and even I will be implicated. You should know the prince's temper." , can make you the prefect, and will naturally take off the black hat on your head."

When Mr. Xu heard the guard's threat, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he nodded suddenly, "I will definitely handle the matter smoothly!"

"En." The guard waved his hand, signaling that Mr. Xu was about to go to work.

Huo Zhirou was discussing the style of the wedding dress with Chun Xiao, when suddenly, a maid walked in with an ugly expression on her face.

"Xiao Liu, didn't you go out to buy pastries for the lady? Why did you come back empty-handed?" Chun Xiao looked at the maid in front of her in puzzlement.

The maid bowed to Huo Zhirou, and said to Huo Zhirou: "Miss, there are rumors that you and the young master are unfavorable."

"My brother and I? What did you say?" Huo Zhirou put down the things in his hands.

"Say... that Miss and Young Master are unfaithful and unfilial persons who forced their father to death, and they still don't wear sackcloth and filial piety to his father. The words are horrible." The servant girl's eyes turned red when she thought of those ugly words being said outside. stand up.
