Chapter 333: The Storm is Coming
When Li Congqian returned to the mansion, Zha Yuanfang was still waiting, and when he saw the dependent master coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "His Royal Highness King Ji, you are back, what did the official family say, he didn't promise to pardon Peng Jingqing's murder, right?" β
"Not really!" Li Congqian walked to the main seat of the living room and asked the pretty maid to serve tea.
"If the official family didn't agree, that's good! As long as the official family does not support Su Chen, the father and daughter of the Peng family will not escape this catastrophe this time, and they will give my sixth brother a funeral! Zha Yuanfang said fiercely with a bit of anger on his face.
Li Congqian saw Zha Yuanfang's hatred, coughed dryly, and said embarrassedly: "This, things are not as smooth as you think!" β
Zha Yuanfang was a little suspicious, raised his head and showed a stunned look, and asked, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" β
Li Congqian first glanced at him, and then said calmly: "Su Chen did enter the palace, and also asked the official family to ask, but not to ask the official family to pardon her innocence, but to personally join the trial process of this case, participate in the trial of the three divisions, and serve as a servant, to inspect the body of Brother Ling Zha Yuanxian, and find out the real cause of death!" β
Zha Yuanfang was indignant and said, "The real cause of death? The cause of death is obvious, Lang Zhong said that he was diagnosed with heart and died, Yuan Xian has not gone out since he was beaten and injured in the morning and returned home, and he died the next day, this is already obvious, only Peng Jingqing's slut injured my brother, that Su Chen wants to make a fuss about this, and it is impossible to get by. β
The servant girl served tea, Li Congqian took two sips of the teacup, put down the cup, and said: "This king also thinks so, but the official family is reusing Su Chen to treat the prince and the queen, and he can't brush this reasonable plea, so this king can only persuade Su Chen to check the truth, he put forward two points, one is to make his younger brother Zha Yuanxian, either the body has a hidden disease, or the body is hollowed out by the wine, and it is unbearable to punch and kick, inducing physical symptoms and dying, so Peng Jingqing is just beating people by mistake, and sentenced to three years in prison at most, If Peng Fu is willing to pay, he can also come out. The second is that there are other people who commit murder again, and it was not Peng Jingqing's death at all, if this is the case, then Peng Jingqing is not guilty. β
Zha Yuanfang shook his head and said angrily: "Impossible, Su Chen is talking nonsense, he is talking nonsense, his brother is not sick, his body has always been healthy, and secondly, no one has committed murder in the mansion again, this is all Su Chen's quibbles." β
"Yuan Fang, don't worry, tomorrow afternoon the three divisions will be tried, what is the specific cause of death, then the imperial doctor will also be present, it is not Su Chen alone, the officials of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai are all on the spot, even if Su Chen is clever and clever, he can't make it up out of thin air, and get through the trick!"
Zha Yuanfang heard this, think about it, it is also the truth, the official family does this, even if it is a little biased towards Su Chen, but in the end, what is the truth, it is still checked in the official hall of the three divisions, all the officials are present, and the imperial doctor is also there, it is not easy to fool everyone.
"Then wait for tomorrow's triage of the three divisions to see how embarrassed Su Chen is."
Li Congqian nodded and said: "Yes, as long as Su Chen can't find any strong evidence, then Peng Jingqing's murder of Brother Ling can be conclusive, and when the time comes, the father and daughter of the Peng family will have to pay a heavy price for this." β
"Yes, I want to make the little slut of the Peng family pay for the blood debt!" Zha Yuanfang's face was angry.
β¦β¦β¦
Su Chen left the palace and came to the Han Mansion with a heavy heart to visit Han Xizai.
Now that the situation is about to come and rain, Su Chen feels the pressure doubled, and he faintly feels in his heart that someone must be manipulating all this behind the scenes, and he can't find a flaw in him, so he will find a breakthrough in the matter of investigating the family, and first convict Su Chen's fiancΓ©e, which makes Su Chen hold a grudge, and when the time comes, he will be distracted and not do his best in the treatment of the queen and the prince, and when the time comes, this bureau will be broken.
If this is the case, then the behind-the-scenes chess layout is really a needle, not letting go of any details, thoughtful, and step-by-step.
The concierge of Han Shilang's Mansion saw Su Chen's arrival, and he didn't need to pass it on, so he let him enter directly, which was the order of their family master, and regarded Su Chen as half of the Han Mansion.
Such details also highlight Han Xizai's open-mindedness and generosity in employing people without suspicion, which is very good at winning people's hearts and making people comfortable.
After Su Chen entered the courtyard, a deacon from the outer courtyard led him to the study where Han Xizai was.
In the huge Han Mansion through the door through the courtyard, through the water pavilion corridor, repair the bamboo flower garden, came to an elegant and quiet courtyard.
"Young Master Su, the head of the family is waiting in the study, you just go in."
"Thanks for showing the way!" Su Chen arched his hand, then walked up the steps and entered the study.
This study is extremely spacious and bright, with a width of nine rooms, and it is full of bookshelf scriptures and antiques, calligraphy and paintings, giving people the feeling of being knowledgeable and collecting thousands of books.
Han Xizai is sitting on a classical square wooden couch reading a book, with pen, ink, paper, inkstone and tea set in front of the desk, while flipping the book, while drinking tea, the breeze is coming, the house is full of books, and he is worthy of being a generation of Confucian ministers in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
"I've seen Han Lao!"
Han Xizai put down the scroll in his hand, looked up at him with a smile, and said, "I've entered the palace." β
Su Chen said: "I've been there." β
Han Xizai nodded, stretched out his hand and slapped two cups of tea on the table, and said: "I heard that when you entered the palace, the old man was really worried, but fortunately, you did not disappoint, and only begged the official family to let you participate in the investigation of the case, are you sure that Miss Peng was wronged, or is you planning to have another plan to manipulate the corpse?" β
After Su Chen heard this, his heart sank, he had just come out of the palace for a while, although there was a delay on the road, Han Xizai was able to know first, it can be seen that Sun Dang also has his own eyes and ears in the palace.
Sure enough, the palace is the deepest place in the pool.
Su Chen arched his hand and said: "Back to Han Lao, Wansheng was standing with Peng Jingqing at that time, and I saw her shoot with my own eyes, although I kicked Gongzi Cha and vomited blood, but the injury was not serious, and it was impossible to die violently, there must be something strange in this." β
"Sit down and talk!" Han Xizai pointed to the futon in front of his table and asked Su Chen to sit down and drink tea with him.
After Su Chen sat down, he took the teacup, which was full of fragrance.
Han Xizai asked, "Do you have any specific plans?" β
Su Chen shook his head and said, "I can only adapt to the situation then." β
Han Xizai paused for a moment, and then spoke: "Mountains are impermanent, water is impermanent, and many times, they rely on improvisation. After tomorrow morning, it will be the trial of the three divisions, and when the time comes, I hope you can find out the problem from the case, so as to save your fiancΓ©e and prospective father-in-law. β
Su Chen is proficient in medical skills, and he has a lot of views on medical film and television dramas, so he also knows some professional common sense, maybe he can use it, nodded and said: "I understand, as long as the public opinion is favorable to me, and there are people in the court who support me, I can check it without resistance, and I will be able to find out." β
