Newlyweds divorced: Marry a scumbag and his brother is sweet and have a baby

"My lord, the little father-in-law who first ran up the tower to report to the emperor is dead." Lin Xiaoliu came in to report.

Xie Huaijing said with a cold face, "How did you die?"

"I lost my footing and fell into the lake inside the palace." Lin Xiaoliu said.

Last night, Xie Huaijing had ordered Lin Xiaoliu to look for the little father-in-law before going to the princess's house. Lin Xiaoliu searched all over but could not find the little father-in-law. When he found him this morning, he was swollen in the lake water.

"Kill and silence! The action is very fast!" Xie Huaijing's face became a little colder.

At this time, Ye Chi came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the boss of the lantern riddle guessing team has arrived."

Xie Huaijing went to the princess mansion last night and asked Mr. Gu about the situation at that time.

He was suspicious of the boss who guessed the lantern riddles, so he ordered Ye Chi to bring him.

"Bring it to the darkroom." Xie Huaijing stood up and came to the darkroom.

When the boss saw Xie Huaijing, he immediately stood up and saluted, "I've met the prince, and this matter really has nothing to do with me. I'm a conscientious businessman and will never get involved in such a thing."

"What kind of thing?" Xie Huaijing asked.

The boss didn't expect Xie Huaijing to ask him this question. He hesitated for a moment, "Wasn't it just last night..."

Thinking that Shen Yan was Xie Huaijing's fiancée, and their relationship was well-known in the capital, he did not dare to mention Shen Yan directly in front of Xie Huaijing, so he paused and changed his words, "It has spread throughout the capital."

"The king didn't call you here because of this matter." Xie Huaijing said.

The boss's expression instantly relaxed, "That's good. Then why did the prince call me here?"

"My grandfather lost a jade pendant when he came on stage. It was priceless. I wonder if you saw it at the time?" Xie Huaijing asked.

"No, I was watching him the whole time and I was the one who took him away. I didn't see him throwing anything away." When the boss heard that it was worth a lot of money, he only thought about the money and said it all at once.

"Really?" Xie Huaijing stared at the boss, his voice cold to the bone.

"Yeah, little one..." The boss didn't react until he said this. He showed his weakness and immediately closed his mouth with a look of panic on his face.

"Should you do it yourself! Or should I beat you until you do it!" Xie Huaijing's eyes were like daggers.

The boss's body slipped off the stool and he knelt on the ground, "My lord, have mercy on me. I didn't mean to harm the old man. Someone gave me money. I was blinded by the money, so I fell into their trap. I'm innocent." .”

"I want to hear the specific details. If there is a lie, I have a thousand ways to make your life worse than death!" Xie Huaijing shouted.

"Yes, yes, please explain." The boss told Xie Huaijing what happened.

"Some people found me a few days ago and gave me a thousand taels of silver, asking me to be responsible for pulling Old Mrs. Gu up on the stage during the Lantern Festival. They also tampered with the stage. As soon as Old Mrs. Gu got on the stage, , those lanterns will be smashed down, and the younger one will take advantage of the chaos to knock out Mr. Gu."

"When I heard that it wasn't that complicated, and it didn't hurt Mr. Gu's life, it was only a thousand taels of silver. I would never earn so much money in my life, so I agreed."

Xie Huaijing asked, "How can they ensure that my grandfather will go to your place to guess lantern riddles?"

"The little place is the busiest place in the capital. It is also the largest lantern riddle guessing stall in the capital every year. People who like to guess lantern riddles usually go to the little place. As for how they do it, the little one really doesn't know."

The boss looked pleading, "Your Majesty, I have told you everything I know, please spare my life."

"Do you remember what the person who came to find you looks like?" Xie Huaijing asked.

"Remember." The boss replied.

"Go and invite Mr. Yan." Xie Huaijing ordered Lin Xiaoliu.

Soon, Yan Qing arrived. According to the boss's description, Yan Qing quickly painted the portrait.

Xie Huaijing took the portrait, looked at it carefully, and handed it to Lin Xiaoliu and Ye Chi, "Remember this person's appearance and search the whole city!"

Last night, after the incident downstairs, the Sun Mansion was robbed. Sun Huanxin reported it to the official, saying that he had lost a very important family heirloom.

When the government heard this, they immediately closed the city gate and only allowed in, not out.

Therefore, as long as this person exists, he must still be in the capital.

Time passed little by little, and soon, night came.

Two sneaky men sneaked into the prison and poured tung oil into it like crazy.

Then, one person took out the huozhezi, blew out the sparks, and then threw the huozhezi on the ground.

In an instant, the flames were scurrying around like demons, and in just a moment, the entire sky prison was surrounded.

The fire dragon roared wildly, thick smoke filled the air, and the flames shot into the sky, illuminating half of the capital.

"on fire!"

"Firefighting!"

……

The warden, who was sleeping peacefully at home, heard the news and rushed over in a hurry.

If the prison is on fire, he will be punished by death.

Princess House.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the prison is on fire!" reported someone from the Bing Kingdom.

"What?" Meng Beichen and Meng Muyuan quickly got up and rushed to Tianlao.

Wangfu.

"Your Majesty, the prison is on fire!" Lin Xiaoliu finished speaking when Xie Huaijing's men had already left the room.

Protector's Mansion.

"Sir, the prison is on fire!" The servant reported, but Yan Qing ran towards the prison at the fastest speed in his life without asking a single word.

Kunning Palace.

"The Queen, the prison is on fire." Rong Yue told the Queen the news she had found.

The queen stood in the yard, looking up at the fire, her eyes full of smiles.

"Okay, this fire came just in time."

Rong Yue also laughed, "I don't know which kind person helped the queen."

"This is God helping me. The position of mother in the world should belong to me. After such a big fire, no matter how hard Shen Yan's bones are, there won't be any residue left." The queen smiled broadly.

"Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress. From now on, no one will cause trouble to the empress." Rong Yue said with a smile.

Xie Chengxuan's residence.

"Great!" Xie Chengxuan slapped the desk, overjoyed.
