Chapter 138 Huo Tingxing is imprisoned
above the hall.
Soon the officers and soldiers brought back the results.
Huo Tingxing looked at what the officers and soldiers were holding and laughed wildly in his heart.
Looking at Shi Yuan proudly.
As expected, Shi Yuan found nothing. Now this hassle has made things easier for him.
He couldn't hide his joy on his face.
He is about to take the position of prime minister, and the thought of it makes him happy.
That person said that as long as Shi Yuan was brought down, he would recommend him for the position of prime minister.
Now the position he had coveted for so long was about to fall on his head.
He was practically flying with joy.
Shi Yuan was overestimating his own abilities and wanted to report him, which was simply asking for trouble.
Thinking about it, I felt a little bit ecstatic.
Until a word from an officer shattered his beautiful dream.
"Your Majesty, these were found in the residence of the Councillor."
Huo Tingxing's eyes, which were originally closed, suddenly opened.
As if he had thought of something, he looked at Shi Yuan in disbelief.
"you……"
Shi Yuan looked at him calmly: "Master Huo, what's wrong with me?"
Huo Tingxing stood there in a daze, his eyes almost popping out of his head in shock.
what happened?
How could these things appear in his house?
The things that were supposed to be in Shi Yuan's mansion now appeared in his mansion, completely confusing him.
"How can this be……"
"Master Huo is so bold that he dares to trade with the people of Lin State privately. If I hadn't happened to discover the clues, how long would Master Huo have wanted to cooperate with the people of Lin State?"
Huo Tingxing opened his mouth and looked at Shi Yuan in horror.
Now he finally understood that Shi Yuan knew everything and even arranged these things.
He couldn't believe that these things would suddenly appear in his house.
But why didn't he notice when he took action?
How terrifying is Shi Yuan’s strength?
That's why he was so confident just now. It turned out that he had arranged everything in advance.
Huo Tingxing's face was pale and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
He's finished!
The things were right here, and they were found in his house. He had no way to argue.
Not only was he finished, but his entire Huo family was also finished.
The officers and soldiers handed over a stack of transaction receipts to the emperor.
The emperor looked at him with a gloomy expression.
His face gradually turned ashen, and a terrifying anger flashed in his eyes.
At the end, he threw all the things at Huo Tingxing's feet with a snap.
A majestic voice followed, mixed with rage.
"How dare you! Huo Tingxing, you dare to commit treason!"
The emperor was furious, and his majesty instantly enveloped the entire hall, making it suffocating.
In an instant, all the ministers knelt on the ground.
They all shouted, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
The emperor pointed at Huo Tingxing and said, "You really disappoint me. Come on, put this traitor in jail."
Huo Tingxing sat down on the ground in dejection, without even the strength to beg for mercy.
He could only reluctantly cast his gaze on one person, with a pleading glint in his eyes, hoping that he could save him.
The man nodded calmly.
Huo Tingxing's face instantly ignited the hope of life, and his sinister eyes fell on Shi Yuan.
With a cold snort, "Shi Yuan, just wait!"
When he comes out, I will make Shi Yuan pay the price.
Shi Yuan raised his head and glanced at him sideways.
There was disdain in his eyes.
The officers and soldiers dragged Huo Tingxing away, and a group of people quickly left the palace and surrounded the Huo Mansion.
This attracted people on the street to stop and watch.
There were discussions.
"Hey, what happened? Why is it surrounded?"
"I don't know. Did Lord Huo make a mistake?"
"These officers and soldiers don't look like ordinary yamen runners!"
Something flashed through a man's mind, and he was racking his brains, thinking where he had seen these officers and soldiers before.
A flash of inspiration came into his mind and he cried out in surprise.
"I know, these are the emperor's personal guards!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was surprised.
"I was just saying it looks more majestic."
"It really was a mistake. It seems to be a big mistake. The emperor even sent out his own guards."
As they spoke, everyone stood further away, fearing that they would be suddenly implicated.
And this news also reached Shi Xiaoxiao's ears through Ah Xing's mouth.
Shi Xiaoxiao chuckled, "This is called stealing a chicken but losing the rice."
Xiaoyuan tilted her head and looked at Shi Xiaoxiao blankly.
"Miss, why do you say that? Did Lord Huo do something?"
"Of course he did something he shouldn't have done."
At this time, a servant came to pass on the message, "Second Miss, the young master of the Qi Mansion is looking for you."
Shi Xiaoxiao raised her hand slightly, "Let him in!"
Qi Yun came here in person, probably because Qi Hui’s heart disease had recurred.
Since Mrs. Qi has sincerely apologized in front of her junior.
There was no need for her to refuse to save Qi Hui just for Madam Qi.
After a while, Qi Yun was hurriedly brought over by the servants.
He raised his hands and bowed to Shi Xiaoxiao, his face showing an anxious expression. "Miss Shi, my sister's heart disease has relapsed. Can you please help me? I know my mother was a little too harsh on you that day, but now she has sincerely repented. Please put aside the past and save my sister."
Shi Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, her lips curled slightly. "Since you already know that your mother has gone too far, how can you think I would agree to save your sister? After all, I would never do anything that would put myself at a disadvantage."
Qi Yun looked at Shi Xiaoxiao deeply. "You are not that kind of person. You will save my sister. You will not let her die in such pain. Consider it my beg of you. Afterwards, you can ask for anything and I will satisfy you."
Shi Xiaoxiao pretended to think for a moment, a smile appeared in the corner of her eyes, and she said, "Okay, let's go."
Hearing Xiaoxiao's words, Qi Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
When I went out with Qi Yun, there were two carriages parked at the door.
Shi Xiaoxiao glanced at him.
It seemed that he had calculated that she would definitely go with him, and even prepared a carriage.
But she didn't say anything, just lowered her head and got into the carriage.
Now is not the time to dwell on these things. Qi Hui’s illness cannot be delayed.
The wheels of the carriage rolled towards the Qi Mansion.
After driving for a while, Qi Yun finally arrived at the Qi Mansion in an anxious mood.
Mrs. Qi was waiting at the door of the Qi Mansion early.
Seeing that Shi Xiaoxiao had indeed followed Qi Yun over, she held Shi Xiaoxiao's hand with tears in her eyes.
There is no more rejection in my heart.
Her eyes were filled with apology and sadness. "Ms. Shi, thank you. Thank you for coming to save Hui'er. Hui'er is in your hands now."
Shi Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, pulled her hand back, and followed Qi Yun into the mansion.
Mrs. Qi looked at her empty hands and felt extremely complicated.
But she was still grateful to Shi Xiaoxiao. She would never have imagined that Shi Xiaoxiao was such a kind person.
Even though he still doesn't forgive her, he is still willing to save Qi Hui.
Thinking of this, she blinked back the tears in her eyes and hurriedly caught up with the two of them.
Shi Xiaoxiao, led by Qi Yun, came to Qi Hui's yard.
She pushed the door open and saw Qi Hui curled up in pain on the bed. She hurried forward to check on her condition.
She stopped a few people at the door and prepared to give Qi Hui acupuncture.
