"Marquis Zhongjing?"
He Jianzhang's face was solemn, he slightly cupped his hands towards Cao Bin and said:
"I really don't believe what Marquis Zhongjing said."
"Just before leaving the palace, the Queen Mother has issued an order for me to participate in political affairs."
"Nowadays, someone is committing murder on the street. No matter who he is, I should arrest him and hold him accountable!"
"Besides, my son was seriously injured by the murderer and was about to die. It is very likely that his life will not be saved. I also ask Marquis Zhongjing to give me a good deal and not to interfere in this matter. He will be richly rewarded in the future."
When Cao Bin heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Participating in political affairs is the deputy prime minister.
Although they have similar meanings to those of the deputy prime minister, as they are both prime ministers, their meanings are quite different. To put it simply, the power of the deputy prime minister is not comparable to that of the deputy prime minister.
Originally, Wang Yanling and others strongly opposed He Jianzhang's appointment as the second prime minister. Cao Bin thought that the result of the discussion would not be reached soon.
Unexpectedly, Queen Mother Pan took a step back in the blink of an eye, quickly achieved her goal, and appointed He Jianzhang as deputy prime minister and stayed in the center.
Are you so anxious because you are worried that you will change your attitude and agree with Wang Yanling? Or do you have other thoughts about yourself?
For a while, Cao Bin had some guesses about Queen Mother Pan's thoughts.
No wonder He Jianzhang had some confidence and felt that he would give him face.
At this moment, Lin Chong shouted while fighting with He Mansion:
"Master Hou, how should we deal with this person?"
After hearing He Jiazhang's words, Lin Chong felt a little hesitant.
The position of the Prime Minister is no small matter, far from being a place to comfort him. He almost killed his son, which would cause some trouble. He was worried about causing trouble for Cao Bin, so he was willing to give in.
But he was also extremely aggrieved.
In the final analysis, it was He Zhaoxiong who molested his wife first, and then insulted him. In the end, he had to bow his head and accept the punishment. There is no reason to explain.
But when he thought that the imperial struggle was just like that, and it was for the sake of the overall situation, he didn't have any resentment.
He also believed that Cao Bin would not let him suffer too much.
Hearing Lin Chong's words, Cao Bin felt helpless. He ignored He Jiazhang, waved his hand casually and said:
"Kill him, there is no need to save face for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "puff" sound, and the heads of Yang Zhi's opponents were already rolling off. Then, Yang Zhi still couldn't understand his hatred and jumped to Lin Chong's side with a murderous look on his face.
Along with the shrill screams, another He Mansion master also immediately took charge.
He Jianzhang was already stunned. Seeing the tragic scene, his eyelids were twitching wildly and he was so horrified that he didn't react for a long time.
He didn't expect that the martial arts master he spent a lot of money to recruit would be so vulnerable, and that the other party would be so unscrupulous.
What's more, I didn't expect that Cao Bin really dared to give the order, and the two soldiers really dared to execute it.
What the hell kind of way is this? He has been an official all his life, and he has never seen such a wild way of being an official. This is really not taking the leader of oneself seriously!
Doesn't he know that Queen Mother Pan and Master Pan are behind him? Already in power and opposition?
When the people in the distance saw this, many of them were so frightened that they fled in all directions, while the rest remained silent and hid far away before they dared to watch.
One of them shrank his neck and said in horror:
"Mom! Mr. Cao Hou really dares to kill people. He is more evil than Mr. Bao!"
"Then old man He is still being stupid, isn't he afraid that he will be killed on the order of Lord Cao?"
Throughout the Song Dynasty, the laws were relatively humane. If someone died, even if the deceased was an ordinary person, it was still a matter of human life.
What's more, in the most benign place in the capital, such blatant killings are rare.
The most shocking thing is the identity of the deceased. This was a subordinate of the current Prime Minister... Did you not want the consequences?
He Zhaoxiong, who had just regained his composure, was already so frightened that he almost cried. He grabbed He Jiazhang's hand and said with great effort:
"Dad, the kid won't take revenge anymore, take me home quickly."
"This is the Killing Demon Star, don't mess with it!"
He Jiazhang didn't know what to say anymore. He pointed at Cao Bin and said nothing for a long time:
"You, how dare you act so wantonly? I will sue you in front of the Queen Mother..."
With that said, he ignored Lin Chong and Yang Zhi and waved to his men to leave.
Cao Bin put his hands behind his back and said:
"Wait!"
Yang Zhi and Lin Chong had happy expressions on their faces at this time, and their hearts were full of fire. After hearing Cao Bin's instructions, they did not hesitate at all and immediately stood in front of He Jiazhang with their swords.
He Jianzhang trembled with fright. No matter how ruthless his methods were, he was still doing it secretly. His subordinates did all the killings secretly. How had he ever seen such a brutal and direct method of doing things:
"Marquis Zhongjing, please don't mess around..."
Seeing Yang and Lin staring at him covered in blood, He Jianzhang said in a panic:
"Where are the officers of Xiangfu County? This is your county's jurisdiction. Why don't you come and dissuade Marquis Zhongjing?"
The head of the county government office: "..."
Now that you think of us, why the hell don’t you die?
You didn't pee on us just now, and we won't pee on you now. Thinking of this, he and his men retreated further.
You are stupid to seek death!
Cao Bin then said:
"Has Mr. He forgotten that all this was caused by Mr. Ling's teasing of women?"
"I have sent someone to notify the Kaifeng Mansion. I also hope that Prime Minister He will strictly abide by the law and order the young master to cooperate with the investigation!"
He Jianzhang ordered the ministers in the palace to capture Yang Zhilinchong, which was an act beyond his authority. Although Yang Lin and the two of them killed them, it was a bit excessive, but it was still justified.
As long as he grasps this point, Cao Bin is not afraid of making trouble with the laws of Song Dynasty.
On the contrary, He Zhaoxiong, as long as he enters Kaifeng Mansion, he can't escape.
Even if Cao Bin doesn't do anything secretly, Wang Yanling and others will not give up this good opportunity.
It is absolutely possible to pull out the carrot and bring out the mud, and use He Zhaoxiong to investigate He Jianzhang to the bottom.
As a prime minister, he had just come to power and had no solid reputation. Once his reputation was found out, even the late emperor would not be able to retain him after he was resurrected, let alone Queen Mother Pan?
He thought that once he was in power, he would be as stable as Mount Tai? In fact, it's just a Zaizhi "experience card".
He Jiazhang has been an official for decades. How could he not react when he heard Cao Bin's words? Therefore, his face suddenly changed and he said:
"No, my son is seriously injured and needs urgent treatment."
Cao Bin smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Mr. He, Mr. Gongsun of Kaifeng Mansion is very good at medicine, and his methods are not inferior to those of the imperial doctors in the palace."
"I am very experienced in this matter, don't worry!"
Hearing this, everyone had strange expressions. You are so experienced that it is difficult to refute this.
Just as he was talking, Bao Zheng had personally led the team here. Seeing the mess in front of the Daxiangguo Temple and two bloody corpses, his face was very solemn. After asking about the situation, he said:
"I would also like to invite a few people to accompany me back to the Yamen. This case is of great importance and involves two important ministers. I need to request an order before I can make a decision..."
Hearing this, He Jianzhang breathed a sigh of relief. If Queen Mother Pan could make peace with her, or let Bao Zheng let go in time, there might be a turning point.
Seeing him like this, Cao Bin could probably guess what he was thinking.
However, he did not let Yang Zhi and Lin Chong kill randomly.
Faced with such a serious human life case, Bao Zheng dared to turn back even the late emperor's unreasonable request, let alone the Queen Mother Pan.
It's time for her to challenge the late emperor...
