Chapter 125: Returning the Favor
As soon as he heard Han Bing mention the murder case in the theater, Duan Puqing immediately remembered what he said outside the door just now, and his heart couldn't help but loosen up, feeling that this matter might be promising. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Oh, can you tell me more about it?"
"Ming people don't say dark words, adults must have guessed that I killed people at this moment. But have you found out who she sent to kill me?"
"You mean-the Yan family?" Duan Puqing stroked his beard with his hand and asked tentatively.
Han Bing smiled slightly, "It's the Yan family, no doubt." But who is this envoy of the Yan family? Yan Yuguang, Empress Yan, or King Ji? Or is it someone else? I think it's hard for adults to be sure about this, right?"
Duan Puqing narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Can Childe be sure?"
"I don't have such well-informed eyes and ears, how can I find out these behind-the-scenes conspiracies? But one thing is certain, no matter who the person who instructed it is, this matter is absolutely inseparable from the Jingguo Mansion!"
Duan Puqing's eyes flashed, and he thought for a moment, and finally showed a treacherous smile: "What does Gongzi mean to say that this official will use this matter to threaten him and force the Jingguo Mansion to withdraw this case?"
Han Bing clapped his hands violently and praised: "Your Excellency is really smart!"
Although Duan Puqing was moved by what he said at this time, he was not confused by this kid's flattering words, but sat there and began to ponder the case carefully.
With his own wrist, he can naturally say that the cause of death of the deceased was a violent death due to illness. The reason why I didn't dare to do this was because I was afraid that if the Jingguo Mansion did not follow and had to find someone to re-examine the body, it would be difficult to do it.
However, now it seems that as long as he coerced each other as the killer of the deceased, he subtly hinted to the other party that he suspected that the case was related to party strife. Presumably, after weighing the pros and cons, the Jingguo Mansion can only suffer this loss in the end!
"This plan is indeed very good!" Duan Puqing finally nodded and smiled.
Unexpectedly, Han Bing, who had just given him this idea, suddenly poured a basin of cold water on the side, "But my lord thinks that just by accusing the Jingguo Mansion of being suspected of hiring a murderer, can the stubborn old man Xia bow his head and admit it, and suffer this dumb loss?"
Duan Puqing was only slightly stunned, and then said with confidence: "This matter should not alarm Old Master Xia, his son Xia Shilang has always been a well-rounded person, as long as the official knows his interests, the Guogong Mansion should not make any more waves." ”
Han Bing shook his head, "Adults have such thoughts, all because they don't fully know the cause and effect of this. That killer was not recruited into the mansion by Xia Shilang to be a guard for his daughter, but was specially invited by Old Master Xia to be a master for his granddaughter!"
"Master?" Duan Puqing blinked, remembering all the rumors he had heard about that Xia Huan'er, and his face couldn't help but become solemn, "Could it be that this Miss Sun from the Jingguo Mansion is also involved in this matter?"
Han Bing shook her head again, "This Huan'er girl shouldn't know the true identity of her master. At that time, her master was killed by me, and she was close to her without realizing it, which shows that she was not involved. ”
Only then did Duan Puqing think of asking about the missing Xia Huan'er, "After the incident, that Huan'er girl was with you, I don't know where she is now?"
"Miss Huan'er did go to Yuanfang Pavilion with me, and I have sent her back to the Jingguo Mansion safely. ”
Duan Puqing glanced at Han Bing and said in his heart, this kid is really bold! He dared to take Miss Sun from the Guogong Mansion to a place like Yuanfang Pavilion. If the Jingguo Mansion finds Lord Zuo Xiang for this, the two sides will make a fuss, and I am afraid it will become a big joke in the capital!
But from this point of view, the relationship between this kid and that Xia Huan'er should be extraordinary. If it was up to him to persuade Xia Huan'er not to pursue the case, it would not be difficult. I heard that the old man Xia dotes on this granddaughter the most......
Thinking of this, Duan Puqing finally understood what Han Bing's confidence was in coming here to extort, it turned out that he was actually the key person who mastered the solution of this case - Xia Huan'er.
It's just that if you think about it carefully, the initiator of this case was him, but now he is using this case to blackmail himself, and the advantage is all taken by him alone, which is simply unreasonable!
Although he was a little indignant in his heart, Duan Puqing still put on a smiling face and arched his hand: "In this way, whether this case can be successfully resolved depends on the vigorous peace of the son!"
Han Bing pretended to be humble and returned the salute, but his face was full of smug smiles.
After Duan Puqing's eyes swirled on Han Bing's body, he asked unwillingly: "What this official doesn't understand is what does this matter have to do with Yan Xingbao's acquittal?"
Han Bing, the little fox, replied with a smile, "That's not what you need to worry about, adult!"
Duan Puqing, the old fox's eyes, rolled, and thought to himself, once Yan Xingbao was released, once a person walked out of the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, he would not be responsible for his personal safety. Of course, if he is killed, Jingzhao Mansion will still be responsible for the final arrest of the murderer. But with the cunning of this kid, Han Bing would not have done such a stupid thing. Besides, since he has promised that he will not be implicated because of this, he should not be a lie.
Thinking of this, Duan Puqing once again carefully looked at the son of the left minister in front of him, who looked calm and relaxed, and couldn't help but have another thought in his heart - although he didn't have to rush to choose a position at this time, no matter what he said, he should never stand on the side of the Yan clan. When the mountain rain is coming, the largest tree is often the first to bear the brunt......
"Well, since you have solved a big problem for the official, and you have reciprocated the favor, the official should also make it easier for the son. Yan Shizi's murder case will be dismissed due to insufficient evidence, and Yan Shizi himself will be acquitted in court early the next morning. ”
"Okay! Thank you for telling me the truth! Since your lord trusts me so much, he will never break his promise, putting me in a dilemma!" Han Bing stood up and saluted with his fists.
Duan Puqing smiled slightly, "This official can definitely trust the son's character." ”
Now that the purpose of this trip has been achieved, Han Bing stopped talking nonsense, and arched his hand to Duan Puqing again, "The hour is not early, I will leave in the next place, please forgive me for the disturbance!"
Seeing Han Bing's swift figure disappear outside the door of the study, Duan Puqing shook his head with a smile, looked back at the case briefings scattered on the bookcase, couldn't help laughing, stepped out of the study, and went to the backyard to ask his wife who had been waiting for him for a long time.
