Fight the Giants

  Chapter 636 Interrogation

  Huo Xi's words surprised everyone present.

  She is going to beat Dengwen Drum?

  I haven't heard of that drum being beaten since Lichao. Not to mention people like them. At that time, the British government will not become the laughing stock of the whole capital?

   Mrs. Tai is still in shock.

   Fortunately, she agreed to invite the prince today. If the prince doesn't come, is this brave granddaughter really going to beat the drum?

  Wu Shi gritted her teeth, and gave Huo Xi a dark look. This **** is going to beat Dengwen Drum!

  Is she holding something in her hand?

   Wu's eyes flickered. But now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.

   Logically, the Duke of the Kingdom should not be able to last a day, but he did not expect to last until now. If she was really saved, what hope did she have? Let that little **** secure the position of son?

   No, she can't wait to plot slowly. Even if she doesn't do anything, those two **** will not let her go.

  Ms. Wu squeezed her fists and settled down.

  Huo Xi glanced at her cryptically, without making a sound. Today she must push Wu Shi into the mud, so that she has no power to fight back.

  The prince suddenly looked at the woman in front of him with admiration.

  After ten years of forbearance, he returned to the family, was framed, and remained calm. Such a person, who said that she assassinated the British princess, was either bold or reckless, or had a well-thought-out plan.

   "What evidence do you have to prove your innocence, just come through. I will deal with it fairly and will not wrong any good person."

   "Yes. Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

   While speaking, the servants came to report that Mrs. Yang and Huo Erhuai had arrived. When the couple heard that their son and daughter had been framed, they were in a hurry. Huo Xi sent someone to invite them, but they didn't clean up and came immediately.

   After seeing the ceremony for His Royal Highness, the husband and wife sat down at the side and looked at Huo Xi and Huo Nian worriedly. Huo Xi smiled at them and nodded to comfort them.

   Calling his parents over, Huo Xi felt a little sorry, but he still needs his parents to testify later.

  Looking at Madam Tai, "Madam Tai, do you still remember the servants who serve in my father's yard?"

  How can I not remember this.

  She is in charge of the house, and she may not be able to tell the whole story of the servants in the junior room, but she arranges almost all the people in the elder son's room, how could she not know.

   "Then, I want to ask Mrs. Tai, where is the maid named Zhishu who served in father's study?"

  Knowledge book?

   "Zhishu has already made an engagement with his cousin in the country, and has let her go back to get married. And she left the house the day before Wen Bi fell."

  Why did you ask Zhishu?

  Huo Xi looked at Mrs. Wu: "Mrs. Tai said that Zhishu has gone back to her hometown to get married. So, what does Aunt Wu think? After all, the deeds of the people under the big house are all in your hands."

   Before Mrs. Wu could speak, Zhang Biyao shouted: "Shut up! Please pay attention to your wording in front of the prince. My mother is the wife of the Duke!"

   "I don't care about family law or patriarchal law. In front of the prince, I only talk about national law!" Huo Xi said loudly.

  Emperor Yongkang behind the tent nodded almost invisibly.

  Seeing this, Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

He also heard Huo Xi's voice in the hall: "The so-called three books and six ceremonies, the letter of appointment, letter of ceremony, and letter of welcome, Wu's family has none. Since the "Law of Marriage of Qi", the law has clearly stipulated that anyone married Yizhao, all of them are recorded in the official case for Chouyu (population check). In the yamen register, the Wu family is only a concubine. I call her Aunt Wu, is there something wrong?"

  Zhang Biyao gritted her teeth and secretly hated, Wu was already trembling with anger.

  Huo Xi didn't give them a chance to speak out, and she didn't come here today to argue whether Mrs. Wu is a wife or a concubine.

   "Aunt Wu, I'm afraid you thought that Zhishu had passed away long ago?"

Mrs. Wu replied in a cold voice: "Zhishu is a servant girl in the Duke's courtyard. You are not good at hearing. Didn't you hear Mrs. Tai say that she has left her nationality and returned to her hometown to get married? And I have given her identity deed to you. If you don’t believe me, you can ask someone to come to my yard for inspection, I still have her identity deed in my box!"

  Although Mrs. Wu said it firmly, she couldn't help but feel a drum in her heart. Why does this **** mention Zhishu?

   "Of course you won't have her body deed, because you have already given it to her. But she hasn't gone to the Yamen to cancel it yet. Does Aunt Wu know why?"

Why? How can a dead person log off?

  Ms. Wu made up her mind.

  Everyone in the room heard Huo Xi talking about Zhishu, and felt that she was not aiming for nothing. Did a girl in the Duke's study do something to the Duke? But she left the mansion the day before Grandpa Guo had an accident.

   "His Royal Highness, I request to summon witnesses."

"allow."

   Wu's fingers trembled. Huo Xi smiled and glanced at her.

   I don’t want to confuse everyone, “Let’s wait for her to come and let her speak for herself. Originally, she should be waiting for reincarnation by the Naihe Bridge now, but I don’t want to drag her back.”

What? How could a person who escaped from his nationality and returned home go to the side of Naihe Bridge to wait for reincarnation?

  Who is going to kill her?

  Hearing that Zhishu is not dead, Wu's skin collapsed, and tiny cracks appeared almost invisible.

  The Zhishu soon arrived at the hall.

  In the past few days, she went from heaven to hell, and from **** back to the world. Very fortunate.

  Seeing such a big battle when he came in, he kowtowed to the prince tremblingly, and swayed his body.

   "Tell the truth, you can't lie a single bit. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you." Huo Xi's tone was cold.

   Zhishu was shivering, and he nodded without daring to lift his head.

   "The slave is called Zhishu..."

   Zhishu is not a poor family who can’t afford to raise children and sells their children. Her family still has little wealth in the local area. His father was a scholar, he opened a private school, the family had a house and a field, and he was respected by others.

  However, her mother died young, and her stepmother couldn't understand her, so she sold her without telling the family. Also signed a death contract.

  Sold to the Duke's Mansion.

   Mrs. Wu seized on her desire to change the death contract to a living contract and get rid of her citizenship, and ordered her to do a lot of things. For example, some time ago, he revealed to Wu the scrap draft of the divorce letter discarded by the British public.

  Ms. Wu went out of the house to buy colorless and odorless spices, and coaxed her into saying that the Duke was tired and didn't sleep well during that time, and that the spices could help sleep.

  She thought that she was going to leave the mansion soon, and the Duke's mansion has taken good care of her over the years, so they arranged everything properly, even helping to replace the spices in the incense burner in the mansion's room.

   Before leaving, he asked Wu Shi for a deed, and Wu Shi also gave it to her. She left the house happily on her front foot, but the Wu family sent someone to silence her on her back foot.

  But she was rescued by Mu Yu who had been following her all along, and even the people sent by the Wu family were caught.

   "His Royal Highness, please forgive me. I don't know that the spice is killing people, I just think it is to help sleep. These years, the Duke has been taking care of the slaves. How could the slaves think of harming him? I beg His Royal Highness to investigate clearly!"

   Bang bang kowtow.

  All eyes in the hall focused on Mrs. Wu.

   Mrs. Tai also glared at her. This Mrs. Wu, she helped her upright, but she actually wanted to harm her son?
