Chapter 0692 Su Zhen was framed and arrested
Shang Yuchen sat opposite the Huo family and naturally noticed Su Zhen's childish behavior. He shook his head helplessly and drank the wine in the glass.
Tang Yinchen and Yang Huanzhi also came back at some point. After sitting down, Tang Yinchen whispered a few words to him quietly.
The smile in Shang Yuchen's eyes quickly turned into a smile, and was immediately replaced by murderous intent.
"It's okay. With Lao Zhutou here, the Li family won't be able to stir up any trouble."
"yes!"
Su Zhen naturally didn't know what trouble was waiting for her tomorrow. After the palace banquet was over, she took the carriage back to Huo Mansion.
She didn't see Huo Jiaqi today, and she didn't know why.
After waiting for half a night, I still couldn't wait for a certain fox to come to my door.
Feeling sulky, Su Zhen lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. In desperation, she had no choice but to knock herself out.
Half asleep and half awake, something seemed to get into her bed, and a warm breath enveloped her. As her body gradually warmed, she fell into a deep sleep.
She slept comfortably and peacefully, and when she woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
After stretching, I was putting on my shoes when I heard a knock on the door from outside.
"Sir, are you awake?"
"Um."
Upon hearing her response, the boy outside the door immediately said: "Sir, the prince has ordered you to pack up and go to the main hall."
"Oh, I got it."
Immediately after Su Zhen finished changing her clothes, a maid came in carrying some things for washing.
After a cup of tea, Su Zhen slowly walked to the main hall wearing a mask.
However, when she arrived at the main hall, she discovered that not only the Huo family was there, but also people from the Ministry of Punishment.
Su Zhen smiled and stepped over the threshold: "Hey! It's so lively!"
As she spoke, she looked at Huo Jiaqi, her eyes tracing his brows without leaving any trace, and she evoked a smile with unknown meaning.
"See the old general, General Huo, and the prince." Su Zhen cupped her hands and said.
Although Huo Ji has a higher status than General Huo and Huo Yan, he is in the Huo family at this moment, and if he wants to salute, he must respect his elders.
General Huo said: "Jinse, in our Huo family, we don't have to do these false etiquettes."
"yes!"
Su Zhen looked at the officials from the Criminal Department and asked, "Old general, who are these?"
General Huo, who was originally smiling, stroked his beard and snorted: "They are here to arrest you."
"Oh? Catch me?" Su Zhen smiled from ear to ear.
"Hmph! You can tell it yourself."
General Huo spoke, and these people dared to speak out.
Among them, an official with a higher official position stood up and said: "Jinse, you are suspected of murder! We follow the laws and arrest you according to the law!"
"Killing? Who did I kill? Who died?"
"This morning, a civilian woman came to our Criminal Department to complain. She claimed that her mother-in-law was treated by you half a month ago and she seemed to have recovered. But just last night, her mother-in-law bleeded from all her orifices and died.
die!"
Mother-in-law?!
Su Zhen recalled for a moment, and then she remembered that it was her mother-in-law who was in a state of suspended animation due to brain death.
"Her illness will definitely be cured with my diagnosis and treatment, so how could she bleed to death from her orifices?"
"You'd better come with us. When we get to the Yamen, my master will decide the truth on his own."
The official waved his hand, and the person behind him immediately took out the chain handcuffs.
When Huo Ji saw this, he said angrily: "Stop! Not to mention Mr. Jinse's great kindness to the people, how can he be a villain! What's more, the old woman was already about to die. Thanks to Jinse's skillful rejuvenation, she was saved.
How can he be said to have been killed by her treatment if he is still alive?"
"Your Majesty is right! Even if Jin Se is really not good at medical skills, she still allows a dying man to live for half a month longer. Not only is that woman not grateful to Jin Se, she even dares to retaliate for kindness!"
The officials watched Huo Ji and Chihuang "husband and wife" singing together, lifting Su Zhen's moral character to an infinitely high level, and could not help but feel a trace of cold sweat on their foreheads.
Su Zhen quietly counted with her hands behind her back. The shock in her eyes flashed away, and then was replaced by joy.
It seems she can go home early.
General Huo also said: "Jinse, you don't have to be afraid. I'm here today, let's see who dares to touch you!"
The clothes on the back of the official were soaked with sweat. He lowered his head and said bravely: "Old general, prince, princess, and subordinates are just following orders. Please don't embarrass us."
Huo Yan was silent, but he raised his hand and touched the sword on the table.
"Amitabha." Huo Jiaqi twisted the beads in his hand.
Seeing that everyone was protecting her, Su Zhen felt warm in her heart and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone. It's not my fault. It's not my turn. This official also follows the rules and regulations. I
Just let them go!"
The tree was big and attracted the wind. She had already guessed that someone would attack her, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
The officials looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not let Su Zhen be handcuffed anymore.
Before leaving the house, Su Zhen suddenly remembered something and turned around and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor and I had a one-month appointment. Now that the time limit has passed, I would like to invite the Prince into the palace and speak to the Emperor so that he can fulfill his promise."
Huo Ji nodded: "Well, don't worry."
Su Zhen walked out on her own, walking briskly. If an unsuspecting person saw her, they might mistakenly think that she was going for an outing instead of being arrested.
After leaving Huo Mansion, I found that people were crowding around the door.
Su Zhen thought they were here to curse her, and she was already prepared to be thrown vegetables and rotten eggs.
Unexpectedly, those people knelt on the ground one after another, begging the officials to release Su Zhen and restore her innocence.
The voices pleading for her continued to reach her ears, and Su Zhen felt mixed emotions.
She curled her lips and said nothing, just said "Thank you".
The officials opened the way in front, and Su Zhen followed behind slowly.
Walking all the way to the Xingbu Yamen, they were followed by countless people.
Some people believe her, some don't, and some remain neutral.
Countless sounds reached her ears, but Su Zhen remained calm.
Just when she stepped into the Yamen, someone in the crowd suddenly said: "Although this Jinse has superb medical skills, I heard that he and Princess Chihuang are not known to each other. People often see them coming and going in pairs.
Huo Mansion."
Su Zhen paused as she was about to cross the threshold. Looking back, she could not find the source of the sound due to the noise of people.
But this word spread from person to person, and they actually started to quarrel over whether she and Chi Huang were having an affair.
Su Zhen smiled carelessly, straightened her back and stepped into the Yamen.
Compared with her Siwei's government office, the Xiliang Xingbu's government office may look wealthy, but it is strong on the outside but capable on the inside.
The government officials were all lazy and sloppy, and their official uniforms did not fit them well, which made them look even more ridiculous.
Alas, working as an errand in the Xiliang Criminal Department is indeed a very rich job!
The government officials who 'escorted' her along the way naturally saw the undisguised disgust in Su Zhen's eyes, and they couldn't help but feel ashamed on their faces.
