Chapter 267
Chapter 267 - Choose a Good Day to Marry Your Brother out
The study room was neat and tidy, as if it had never been searched before. There was only an open book on the table.
Huo Zhengquan stood by the side of the table for a long time, holding the book in his hand, he swept his eyes across the entire study room, “That letter should have been found from this book.”
The butler brought in the tea and nodded, “Yes, when this old servant came in to clean up, I only saw this book lying on the ground. Although the other things were a bit messy, they were not that obvious.”
Huo Zhengquan was not surprised at all, he got up and put the book back. It was an unremarkable book of poems, and in the Huo Family study, it was only used for decoration, so Huo Zhengquan had never touched the book.
“Then tell me, who has the ability to hide this letter in this book?” This was undoubtedly a case of framing, but the method of framing had to be investigated.
Huo Yiming's mouth was agape, and he asked in astonishment: “Father, you didn't know either? You didn't do it? “
He always thought his father had spied and reacted quickly.
“I was the one who swapped the letter. But, someone had also secretly placed a letter with the Northern barbarian Lord here.”
“Didn't the guards bring them in when they came to search?” Huo Yiming straightened his body. He had always thought that Huo Mansion was like an iron bucket, it was simply impossible for such a thing to happen.
It was inevitable that the Emperor had spies in the family, but how did the other party manage to send the letter into the Patriarch's study through layers of guards?
One had to know that this study was an important forbidden area of the Huo Family, even Mrs. Huo s could not enter without permission.
“And the original letter?” Yin Xu asked.
Huo Zhengquan took out another letter from his body and handed it over to him, “The contents are corresponding to the one that was presented previously.
Yin Xu took the letter and opened it. This was a letter sent by the Northern Barbarians, whether it was the letter or the person's tone of voice, both had a unique tone, the lower corner of the letter also had a private seal on it, making it look very real.
“These words are so ugly!” Yin Xu had finally found someone as ugly as him.
“Haha …” It looks like it was written by a beginner. The king of the Northern Barbarians once studied this script in the Great Liang for two years, so it's very similar to this handwriting. “
“Every beginner's word is like this, right?” Yin Xu didn't feel that there was anything different about his and his, since it was just one word: ugly.
“Don't worry about that, Father. Do you know who the traitor is? His son will definitely find him and skin him alive! “
Huo Zhengquan thought for a moment, then shook his head: “I don't know when I sent this letter in, but if I knew that it would be released at a specific time, it would be easier to check it.”
Yin Xu and Teng Yu looked at each other and raised their eyebrows at the same time. Yin Xu said: “Who can enter this study room?”
“Except for my father, everyone else must have his permission to enter.”
Teng Yu continued: “Excluding senior Father-in-law, have you ever allowed anyone to enter your study alone before? With this month as the deadline, the other party will be in a hurry to arrange this matter. I believe they won't plan it out for too long. “
Huo Zhengquan's gaze was deep, before he could even answer, Huo Yiming had automatically stood out, “I have been in here three or four times, and I have been in here to retrieve something. If it was someone else who has been in there before, the guard would definitely remember to go and question them one by one.”
A few names flashed past in Huo Zhengquan's heart, and his expression darkened, “There's no need, I'll look into this myself.”
Huo Yiloong talked to his big brother about everything that had happened, especially the war of words in the morning assembly. It was like he was listening to a story, going through ups and downs.
“Dad, what if they find the original letter in our house today?”
“Communicating with the enemy and selling the country, what do you think?” Yin Xu glanced at Huo Yiloong in disdain. This brat, compared to his big brother and second brother, was like a child that had not grown up.
If Teng Yu heard him say so, he would definitely retort: That's what a normal teenager would do. How could a fake youth like you, who is wearing the skin of a young master, understand?
From the moment Huo Yiloong had become sensible, he already knew that the status of his Huo Family was extraordinary. It wouldn't even be a problem for him to strut the great beam, and even the princes had to curry favor with him.
So he had always thought that Huo Family was a god that wouldn't fall, that the civil and military officers would all be led by their Huo Family, and in this lifetime, even if he didn't think too hard, he would still be able to become a stable and steady young duke.
Now, someone suddenly told him that his Huo Family would fall, and even before he knew it, he had already brushed past the Death God.
“Dad, someone was obviously plotting this against us? Is it the Emperor? ” Huo Yiloong had always been a bold and straightforward person, he had also offended many people in the capital. If not for his identity as a Huo Family cultivator, he would have died countless times over.
Huo Zhengquan glanced at him and the other party shut their mouth automatically, “You'd better keep that kind of words in your stomach … Butler, go and get the Yellow Calendar. “
“Yes.” The butler went out, full of doubts, wanting to ask him what he wanted the calendar for.
Could it be that he wanted to find a lucky day to pay his respects to the deity to bring misfortune to himself? After all, Huo Family was indeed not going well. Not only did it attract villains, it also recruited bullies.
“Father, what do you need the Yellow Calendar for?” Huo Yiming asked directly.
“Choose a good day and marry your brother out.” Huo Zhengquan's words shocked everyone present.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Yin Xu, the only one present who needed to marry him.
Yin Xu regained his senses, looked around, and asked unhappily: “What? Isn't it just a date? Why are you so surprised? “
Teng Yu held his hand, and pinched his palm: “Father-in-law, this matter is not urgent!” It would have to wait until the trouble with Huo Family was resolved.
“You can't wait to call me father-in-law, aren't you?” Huo Zhengquan said those words with a serious expression. The more he said that, the more funny it felt.
“Yes, I really can't wait to marry someone back, but right now is the busy season. I don't want any accidents to happen in the middle of the journey, and once there are a lot of things, I can't help but be reckless and easily taken advantage of by others.”
For this matter, the two families had to work together to ensure that no one would take advantage of them, and taking into account the matter of the framing, Teng Yu had only found the letter in the book after learning that the official wanted to use a fake letter to impeach Huo Zhengquan.
Coincidentally, the first thing he looked for was his own study. If he didn't find any in the study, he would probably go through the entire Huo Family once, and there was also no way of guarantee that the other party would have stuffed the fake evidence in first.
The emperor had also prepared himself for the time when someone would be watching the house, making it difficult to do anything to them. Thus, he had decided to hide the items inside the house first.
The faster you all get married, the better. Only when there is a joyous occasion will Huo Tian be considered to have broken free from the Huo Family. “
“What?” The Huo Family brothers exclaimed in unison. Huo Yiming disagreed: “Father, you're going to make Seventh Brother …”
Huo Zhengquan covered his mouth, “Married sons are also spilled water, there is no such thing as not being removed from the list. With Huo Family flourishing, even if he is exposed to the light, his Huo Family will be damaged, and nothing will harm him.”
So that was how it was. Huo Zhengquan wanted to let Yin Xu escape from the calamity that might come, and if the Huo Family were to fall into his trap, it would definitely be the sin of a family of nine. Whether or not Huo Zhengquan accepted such a verdict when the time came, it would be better to have as few people as possible involved.
How could Teng Yu not understand his intentions? From his point of view, he obviously wanted this to be the best, so as to not wait for something to happen to his Huo Family. He only focused on Yin Xu and forgot about the others.
“I know what you are worried about, but I don't think the wedding that Huo Tian will be given will happen in such a hurry. Teng Yu shook his head and rejected.
Huo Yiloong scoffed coldly, he felt that Teng Yu was being too unreasonable. The marriage of two men was already a huge joke in the world, he actually wanted everyone to know about it, but he did not know what he was scheming.
Huo Zhengquan was more at ease after hearing this. Marrying a daughter, marrying a son, his father's heart would always want them to marry to him.
Huo Zhengquan didn't really oppose Yin Xu and Teng Yu anymore, but he didn't support it either. He only treated the matter with a kind of “do whatever you want” mentality.
“Since Your Highness has decided, we will leave it to you. It's getting late, set up a meal, and have the people send the Third Prince back.”
Teng Yu was startled, “Is there anything else?”
“Didn't I call you here for the marriage? Didn't I say it earlier? “
He did say that, but everyone thought he was an excuse, right? Teng Yu laughed bitterly.
Yin Xu did not care about all these, he only knew that he was hungry to the point that his chest was close to his back.
The butler brought in the calendar and informed them that dinner was ready.
“Since it has been delivered, let's take a look first. In any case, there will always be a time when this matter ends, regardless.”
After that, Huo Zhengquan acted like a normal father, putting page after page, and even muttered: “This is too early … This is too late … “This date's number is too unlucky …”
The group of people just stared at him in a daze, completely speechless from the shock.
Yin Xu thought: It turns out that everyone has two sides.
