Chapter 166: Intimidation
Baochai took Ying'er to Aunt Xue's side, and she also heard the arrogant and threatening words of the people outside.
This is also the sorrow of the family's decline, if the Xue family is still like when the ancestor was alive, who would dare to bully?
sighed silently in her heart, looking at her mother's pale and ashamed face, Baochai held her hand, gave a comforting look, and then replied on behalf of Aunt Xue:
"How do we believe that you are from the Great Prince's Mansion, and what token do you have as proof?"
At this time, anger is useless, but Baochai does not want to let others blackmail and coerce.
When the people outside heard Baochai's voice, they suddenly looked up, but they couldn't see anything.
He felt a pity in his heart, just listening to the voice, he knew that his owner must be a stunning beauty, but he didn't expect that there was a woman in the Xue family with such a clear and elegant voice.
I just don't know if it's Xue Pan's sister or his wife and concubine. If Xue Pan's kid can stay tomorrow, he will definitely ask him to sacrifice this girl to His Royal Highness, with His Royal Highness's heart, maybe he and others will have a chance to get involved at that time
This person turned his despicable and shameless thoughts around in his heart, and then replied: "Xue Pan's life is in the hands of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, whether he lives or not is not a matter of His Highness's words, if you know each other, you just need to do it obediently."
As for what tokens, hehe, it's impossible for me to leave them, if you don't care about Xue Pan's life or death, you can not believe it. ”
"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, you are so blatantly kidnapping and coercion, aren't you afraid that we will send you to the government now?"
Baochai said coldly.
"Hehehe, why should the little lady scare me so much, since I dare to come, I am naturally not afraid.
Do you think that you can use this to threaten Your Highness in turn?
Don't waste your efforts, if you dare to break the jar, I will only be beaten at most, and with His Royal Highness here, I can naturally keep me fine.
But Xue Pan, hehe, now Xue Pan is beating people to death on the street, the evidence is conclusive, even His Majesty in the palace knows about it, and specially asked His Royal Highness the Great Prince to deal with this matter, if he sentences Xue Pan to behead the public, who can save him? ”
The people outside the screen looked fearless and proud.
When Aunt Xue heard the word "beheading", she felt that her heartbeat was a few beats slower, and she hurriedly gave Baochai a look of disapproval.
She really can't afford to gamble and doesn't dare to bet.
What about Baochai?
Xue Pan was her own brother anyway, how could she watch him die?
Although she is smart, after all, she doesn't know about the court, so she naturally doesn't know that the people outside are actually intimidating them, and what the other party says is not true.
Baochai didn't know what to do for a while, but at this moment, she suddenly had an idea, she didn't know how Brother Bao would deal with such a thing here, he must know how to deal with it is the best
"What His Royal Highness the Great Prince means, we understand, send off."
Baochai issued an eviction order.
I didn't agree immediately, but I didn't dare to refuse.
"Hmph, I hope the Xue family can think clearly and don't make mistakes."
The person who came snorted coldly, and then was invited out by the housekeeper.
"Baochai, what should I do, your brother can't die, can't die......"
As soon as the outsiders left, Aunt Xue couldn't control herself, grabbed Baochai's hand and began to cry.
Baochai also silently left two lines of tears.
"Mom, the situation is stronger than people, and we have no choice but to raise money as soon as possible......"
"But what if they are just greedy and give away this money, and they still refuse to let your brother go?"
Aunt Xue was worried about being teased again.
Baochai sighed sadly: "If that's the case, it means that my brother should have this catastrophe in his fate, and we can be regarded as doing our best."
This world is like this, what can we do? ”
"Baochai?" Aunt Xue looked up at her daughter, speechless.
……
In a lower room on the edge of Jia's stable, Jia Baoyu brought Wang Erhu's neighbor man over.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what are you doing, the little ones haven't done anything, ...... lords"
The man looked a little panicked.
Jia Baoyu said to Mingyan: "You get him in and beat him until he is willing to confess honestly." ”
After saying that, he went outside and waited.
Mingyan has always been obedient to Jia Baoyu's words, and he didn't ask much when he heard the words, and the greeting person dragged the panicked shouting man into the house, and soon the sound of "ping pong" and the man's wail came.
"The villain said, if you want to ask anything, just ask, and the villain will recruit anything......"
Jia Baoyu outside smiled slightly when he heard this, and entered the door to let Mingyan wait.
"What do the uncles want to ask, just ask directly, and the villain didn't say no, what is the reason for beating the villain like this......"
The man covered his aching face and said with a resentful expression.
Jia Baoyu said lightly: "You are not convinced? Mingyan, you go on. ”
"Serve, serve, the villain is served, please don't fight, the villain will say everything, just ask."
The man was about to cry.
Jia Baoyu smiled and let the impatient Mingyan stand down, walked to a simple wooden bed inside, sat down, and asked lightly: "Do you know that Wang Erhu is dead?" ”
"The villain knows, I heard that he was beaten to death by a street bully"
"I'm a relative of what you call a street bully!"
"Ah, the villain is guilty, the villain can't speak, it's been, it been"
It's hard for a man to be a rough man, and I really don't know how to describe this situation so as not to offend the group of "bullies" in front of him.
"Okay, let me ask you, were you at home when Wang Erhu died?"
"In, the villain is there"
"Did you hear anything?"
"No, no"
Jia Baoyu frowned: "If you think clearly, as far as I know, after Wang Erhu was beaten on the street that day, he did not die on the spot, but walked back to his home, and died in less than an hour. ”
"No, no."
The man's eyes changed, as if he was afraid.
"Mingyan, this person doesn't tell the truth, you sent someone to send him to Fusi in the north town of Jinyi Army, I heard that the people who entered there all went in vertically and horizontally, I believe that when he gets there, he will tell the truth."
Mingyan was stunned for a moment, looked at Jia Baoyu, and didn't understand what Jia Baoyu meant for a while.
North Town Fuji? When did the second master have dealings with that kind of place? Besides, on what charge?
The man didn't know what was going on, and he was frightened when he heard the three words of Jinyijun.
When he came over just now, he saw it, this is the Houmen Mansion, it is really not too easy for such a family to clean him up as a flat-headed commoner, where would he be suspicious.
"Uncle spare his life, uncle spare his life, the little one says, the little one is willing to tell the truth"
Jia Baoyu snorted coldly, and didn't bother to talk nonsense with him.
"According to the Great Xuan Law, concealing the Qin criminals in the imperial court should be guilty of the same crime as the Qin criminals, and those who help the murderer to conceal the truth and not report the information should be punished with cutting off their lips.
Wang Erhu's ancestors and grandsons died tragically, and the real murderer is still at large, as any conscientious people, they should not shield such a vicious person!
I know that you are afraid of retaliation, I can tell you clearly, as long as you tell the truth and help the court find out the real culprit, the court will definitely bring these people to justice, and they have no chance to retaliate against you. ”
The man subconsciously covered his mouth, and there was a look of struggle in his eyes.
"Is this true? Are you really the officials sent by the imperial court to investigate this case? ”
"This official is a member of the three grades of the imperial court, how can he deceive you?"
Half an hour later, Jia Baoyu left Ma Peng.
Mingyan stepped forward and said, "Since Uncle Xue was wrongfully framed, and the murderer was someone else, isn't Uncle Xue saved?" ”
Jia Baoyu shook his head: "It's not enough, after all, it's not someone else who wants to kill Xue Pan, but the dignified prince!" ”
From the man's mouth, Jia Baoyu got a new clue.
First, Wang Erhu's granddaughter disappeared two days before Wang Erhu's death, and it is suspicious that Wang Erhu did not report to the official.
Second, on the day of Wang Erhu's death, the man clearly saw several fierce and vicious people who had been to Wang Erhu's house. And he made it clear that he was not the only one who saw this, but also other neighbors who should have seen it. However, because the other party dares to commit murder during the day, where do they dare to care about such idle matters, they naturally keep silent.
Mingyan also felt that Xue Pan was pitiful, how could he do such a thing for no reason.
"In other words, how can a person as confused as Uncle Xue offend such a noble figure as the eldest prince? actually went out in person to kill Uncle Xue? ”
Jia Baoyu glanced at Mingyan, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"You ask me, who do I ask?"
Mingyan smiled, and then asked, "There is only less than a day of effort, what is the second master going to do next?" ”
yes, it's only one day.
"Asked you to spy on Wu Fan and the people around him, how is the situation?"
"I'm about to report to the second master."
