Chapter 857 (1/2)

The army was victorious, and the people were competing to watch.

The horse's hooves are clanking, the armor is sparkling, all the officers and men are in high spirits, but the figure of King Huai is not seen.

Xu Jin went to the palace with Guo Lu, governor of Shaanxi Province. Emperor Jiahe didn't see the six sons. He frowned and asked, ”what about Huai Wang?”

Xu Jinshen said in a voice: ”last night, the son minister and the sixth younger brother were drinking wine and chatting with each other. Fortunately, he was poisoned in the wine. Fortunately, he found it early. The sixth brother had no worries about his life. His face was swollen because of the toxin. I'm afraid it will take a few days for him to raise. He will go back to the Palace first, and after a few days, he will go to the palace to greet his father and the emperor.”

”Assassin?” Emperor Jiahe's expression became dignified.

Xu Jinmu didn't squint: ”yes, the assassin failed to commit suicide by taking poison. The son minister guessed that it should be the remaining sin of the Hu people.”

Jiahe emperor had no words. After a moment's silence, he told him to check it out.

After leaving the banquet that evening, Xu Jin went to huaiwang mansion.

”Have you got it back?” As soon as he entered the room, Xu Jin asked the man sitting in front of the window.

Xu's right face was slapped four times in a row. Although the best antiphlogistic has been applied, it is still obvious that there is a large bruise. Xu Jin did not move, only staring at Xu Xi's eyes.

Xu Xi nodded.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, he sent someone to pick up Cui Wan. After Cui Wan came back, he did not go to see her, and she did not ask to see him.

”Now bring it here. If she admits it and you solve it yourself, if she doesn't admit it, I'll send someone to check it out tomorrow.”
