Chapter 258: Choosing a Side
Seeing that Duan Puqing had been sitting there with a gloomy face and not speaking after hearing that he had mentioned the murder in Jishi Temple, Han Bing couldn't help but smile secretly, knowing that this Lord Yin should have been distracted by many things that had happened recently.
In this way, the more distracted the old fox's mind is, the more chances he has of leading him into the game and thus muddying the waters.
He deliberately glanced at the officials who were stunned by the news again, and added lightly: "The death of someone in the Protector Temple should be regarded as a shocking case." β
This sentence finally brought Duan Puqing back to his senses, and after his right eyelid jumped a few times in succession, he still asked with some prevarication: "Master Hanbing, you said that there was a murder in Jishi Temple, do you have any evidence?"
Han Bing suddenly laughed and said, "I'm here to surrender, isn't it just the credentials?"
Duan Puqing couldn't help but be stunned, then coughed embarrassedly, stroked the short beard under his chin, and then asked: "As Gongzi said, since this case happened the day before yesterday, why did you only come to surrender today? Moreover, why haven't you seen the monks in Jishi Temple come to report the case?"
"I killed the person, and the one who died was not the monk in the temple, Jishi Temple naturally didn't want to pay attention to the grievances in this world, let alone send someone to report to Jingzhao Mansion. β
Han Bing said it as a matter of course, first of all, he put aside the relationship between Jishi Temple.
Then his face changed again, and he said with some gritted teeth: "The reason why I didn't come to surrender yesterday was because I was also taken advantage of by the crumbs, and I was seriously injured, and I had to lie in bed all day!"
Although Duan Puqing suspected that there was a great deal of moisture in this kid's words, he saw that his face was indeed a little pale, and he thought that this injury should be true.
His heart couldn't help but start drawing circles again-
The person who can hurt Han Bing, who is still above Zhao Zhan, the commander of the forbidden army, will definitely not be a simple person.
It seems that this kid has brought him more trouble this time than the one last time.
And if you want to figure out how much trouble this has already come to the door, you have to first figure out what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this kid Han Bing.
So he tentatively asked, "Since you didn't kill the monks in the Jishi Temple, who is he, and why did he appear in the Jishi Temple?"
Who knew that Han Bing shook his head and said, "It's because even I can't figure out their identities, and I don't know if I killed a good person by mistake because of a misunderstanding, so I came to surrender to you, Lord Yin!"
They?!
A gleam flashed in Duan Puqing's eyes, and there was a faint feeling of bad premonition in his heart, this case was probably much more serious than he imagined. In this way, I am afraid that I will be more involved.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, staring at the young man in front of him who was obviously here to harm him, and didn't speak for a long time.
He didn't speak, and Han Bing even closed his mouth and looked at him with a smile, completely stunned by him.
In desperation, Duan Puqing had no choice but to cough awkwardly again before he reluctantly asked, "Then how do you want this official to deal with this matter?"
Han Bing pretended to blink his eyes in surprise, "What do you say about this ββ, adult? I am here to surrender, and the matter of judging the case is naturally up to you, my lord, how dare you put your beak at will?"
Duan Puqing smiled without a smile, "Jishi Temple is a temple to protect the country, and no one is allowed to trespass without a holy decree." Now that the monks in Jishi Temple will report the case in the future, just based on your words, how can this official judge judge this headless case?"
"I see! That's recklessness, I don't know what to say. β
Han Bing frowned, revealing a look of annoyance. No one could see that he had come to confess his guilt and surrender, but it was as if he had come to find someone to vent his anger for him, but he was disappointed because he could not do it.
However, Duan Puqing was not confused by his pretentiousness at all, and still stared at this kid who was obviously playing tricks with a very vigilant gaze.
Because of the experience of fighting with him in the first two times, he had clearly felt that the scheming and treacherous young man in front of him was not under his old fox, and he could definitely be called a little fox who was blue out of blue.
Facts have proved that Duan Puqing's worries are really not superfluous.
That little bit of annoyance on the face of the little fox of Han Bing only stayed for a short moment, and then it turned into a completely sinister and treacherous appearance.
"Since my lord said so, then I will go and return your original words to Abbot Huinian. β
"Abbot Huinian?" Duan Puqing immediately asked vigilantly, "Could it be that Abbot Huinian sent you?"
Han Bing shook his head with a smile and said, "No, no." Abbot Huinian only asked me to find out the identities of those I had killed, so that I could find someone to claim the bodies. Otherwise, Jishi Temple will have to dispose of those corpses todayβ"
At this point, he suddenly grinned again, and stopped talking.
Duan Puqing had already heard the strangeness at this time, so he naturally wanted to ask clearly: "How is Jishi Temple going to deal with those corpses?"
"Presumably crematedβ"
Han Bing smiled a little smugly, "It's the best, after they turn to dust, no one will recognize them anymore." I don't have to worry about someone coming to me for revenge in the future!"
Immediately, he pretended to bow to Duan Puqing and said, "This time, I would like to thank Lord Fu Yin for his guidance, not only to save Zai Xia from a big trouble, but also to explain to Abbot Huinian." I am really grateful! My lord has a lot of opportunities, and I can't bother anymore, so I'll leave!"
Without hesitation, he turned around and walked out of the courtroom.
"Slow down!"
Duan Puqing hurriedly stopped him, although his tone was not hurried, but it was obviously a little annoyed.
Hearing this, Han Bing stopped, and slowly turned around again, with a reluctant look on his face.
"What else do you have to say?"
Duan Puqing squinted his eyes and stared at him coldly, and asked, "How many people did you kill in Jishi Temple?"
"Thirty people. β
There was a gasping sound in the public hall.
Although Duan Puqing had expected it, he couldn't help but be stunned by this staggering number.
After a long time, he settled down and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know why the cold ice prince wants to kill them?"
Han Bing couldn't help but smile toothily and said, "Didn't Lord Fang Cai already make it very clear? Without the Holy Decree, no one is allowed to trespass into Jishi Temple. These hidden people must not have understood this rule, and they broke into the temple like a swarm without even saying hello. So I had itchy hands for a while, so I left them all there. β
"You killed them all without even asking why they broke into the temple?"
Han Bing couldn't help laughing, and said: "My lord thinks that fighting is like going to the court to ask a case, like you and I at the moment, ask and answer, are the rules and regulations?
Those men burst into the temple with their swords, and immediately rushed up, taking people's lives. Why should I be polite to them, naturally I will accompany them to the end and kill them all first!"
Duan Puqing also knew at this time that he would not ask anything useful from the mouth of this rogue young man.
He pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Well, since Abbot Huinian has already explained, this official can't take it lightly." I will arrange for the two heads of the catchers to go to the Jishi Temple with the son to see if they can identify the origin of those corpses. β
Although he knew that this matter was a good set of cold ice, Duan Puqing had to drill it.
Because he has realized that those who were killed by the ice may have a great origin. Dare to trespass into the National God Temple, in addition to being extraordinary, you also have to rely on it, and it is impossible to be a simple character in the rivers and lakes.
I don't know why, what Duan Puqing thought of at this moment was Zheng Yong, the chief manager of the big house.
No matter how complex the background of this case is, Han Bing must be clear about it. Since he found Jingzhao Mansion today, it must be because he knew that Jingzhao Mansion would not be able to get out of it in the end.
It seems that he, the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, has to make a deal with this cunning boy again, and willingly be used by him again.
Thinking of this, Duan Puqing was a little relieved.
Since it is inevitable that we will be swept up in the end, it is indeed time to choose a position. At least he still has a chance to choose, and he still has some chips in hand.
Now Han Bing took the initiative to come to the door, which shows that in the eyes of Zuo Xiang's father and son, he, Duan Fu Yin, still has enough use value.
Carefully weighed, when the outcome is still unknown, the benefits of his choice of Zuo Xiang's father and son are really obvious.
After all, he had dealt with Han Bing before, and knew that although this kid was cunning, he still had faith at all, and he would not do that kind of despicable act of backsliding back on his word and crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.
But if you follow Zheng Yong, who has always been insidious and vicious, lessons from the past abound. Once he used it out, he didn't even know how he died.
Seeing Duan Puqing, the old fox, suddenly smiling with those two short beards, Han Bing actually really admired the scheming and insight of this Lord Fu Yin.
In this way, today's scene, even without someone's participation, can be sung smoothly.
