boom!
A fine tea cup was smashed to pieces on the ground, and a piece of debris splashed in front of Shen Hao.
"..."
A long silence followed in the study. Shen Hao even tried to keep his breathing down as low as possible to avoid angering Jiang Cheng.
Although Jiang Cheng didn't curse a word at this time, the ups and downs of his chest and the furious look on his face showed his mood at this time. It was just that it was difficult to curse because of the other party's status.
"Are you sure?"
"The subordinates saw Qin Xiuyuan returning home that day, but he never left the house. Moreover, they did not see King Shou's carriage going in. After checking, they found that King Shou had arrived at Qin Xiuyuan's house last night and had not left. That's why he missed it. We have received this information. Since Qin Xiuyuan’s mansion is under constant surveillance, the only possible way to escape is to get out among King Shou and his entourage.”
"This is just your guess!"
"But my subordinates are 80% sure. In addition, the Qin family must have noticed Qin Xiuyuan's negligence, so they invited King Shou to come over. Otherwise, it cannot be explained why King Shou was able to stay at Qin Xiuyuan's mansion one day in advance."
It is true that King Shou's behavior is very strange. According to common sense, he should not spend the night at Qin's house, and there is no reason to do so. But if Shen Hao's guess is followed, it makes sense: King Shou was the protector arranged in advance by the Qin family when they knew something might happen.
Jiang Cheng suddenly felt a pain in his head. On this day, his mood was up and down. First, he was frightened by Pang Ban, and then he was reassured by Shen Hao's report. Then King Shou jumped out and completely disrupted the situation. Now he actually has no grip.
After a long silence, Jiang Chengcai said: "Now your people are still staring at Prince Shou's Mansion?"
Shen Hao quickly replied: "I don't dare, I just have people keep an eye on all the big and small intersections around Prince Shou's Mansion." He is not stupid. If he stares at the door of the Prince's house, someone will make a fuss about it, and he may be killed. It's a big disaster, so it's appropriate to take a roundabout way.
Jiang Cheng nodded after hearing Shen Hao's words. There was nothing wrong with Shen Hao's roundabout method. No matter how unhappy King Shou was, he couldn't use Xuan Qingwei's "surveillance on him" as an excuse.
Walking to the table, Jiang Cheng picked up the document that Shen Hao brought, which detailed the situation at Qin's house tonight.
"Leave this thing with me. Now go back and sort out the confessions of those bastards you caught before and bring them over as soon as possible. Be quick, preferably before going on a business trip."
"I understand, I will go back and prepare now."
Things that were once thought to be simple have now become complicated. Shen Hao understood that Jiang Cheng was going to report the situation to his superiors. Because King Shou directly intervened, it was not something that the Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen could handle. The initiative in handling matters needed to be handed over to Pang Ban before he made any plans, and he had to do it quickly.
Although he was very frustrated, Shen Hao also knew that he could not control the development of this matter for the time being. He could only pay close attention to it and make changes according to the meaning conveyed above.
He hurriedly returned to Fengri City, sorted out the confessions that had been interrogated before, and put them into one volume together with the affairs in Qin Xiuyuan's house. Then he made rubbings and left the bottom, and then rushed to Jingxi Town before going on duty at dawn. Fu made the Yamen and handed it over to Jiang Cheng with his own hands.
One look at Jiang Cheng's appearance showed that he had not rested. His eyes were bloodshot, and he did not let Shen Hao leave, who thought he needed to go back and wait for news.
"You come with me to see the commander."
"Ah? Yes."
Jiang Cheng did not ask Shen Hao for his opinion, but gave the order. Jiang Cheng didn't feel confident when he went to meet Pang Ban. He always felt that it would be better to take Shen Hao with him. Firstly, Shen Hao is the direct investigator and knows the situation best; secondly, he can also see Pang Ban's true attitude when facing Shen Hao in person.
Jiang Cheng had actually been thinking about the last point in his mind for quite some time. He always felt that Pang Ban had some ulterior motives for his disciple.
I had this feeling before. Jiang Cheng never expressed it, but he knew it in his heart. It's just that he's still not sure of Pang Ban's plan, so this time he's ready to test it out again.
The two left Jingxi Town's Fushi Yamen in a car and rushed all the way to the Commander's Yamen next to the palace, and used the word "urgent" to ask for a meeting.
Pang Ban had just arrived at the public house. He was a little surprised when he heard that Jiang Cheng and Shen Hao came to report "urgent", and he waved them in.
"Sir, His Royal Highness King Shou has intervened..." After saluting, Jiang Cheng immediately told Pang Ban the general story of what happened last night, and asked Shen Hao beside him to write the documents he had prepared before. Handed it over.
Pang Ban didn't say anything when he heard this. He just took the document handed over by Shen Hao and read it carefully. It wasn't until Jiang Cheng finished speaking that he was silent for a while and then said: "The Qin family spread the word themselves and want to draw me, Xuan Qingwei, to be a target. Then he asked King Shou to be his helper, and King Shou really agreed. Is that what you mean?"
"Yes, sir. Judging from King Shou's current reaction, he has already sided with the Qin family."
As for the private exchanges between King Shou and the Qin family, Pang Ban was not interested. He had already obtained the most critical evidence after reading the document in his hand.
"Where are these people? Where are they now?" Pang Ban asked while raising the document in his hand.
"My lord, all of these prisoners are currently being held in the Black Flag Camp in Fengri City."
"Send the person to the commander's office later, and I will send someone to handle the handover with you. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Shen Hao quickly bowed in response, and then stood behind Jiang Cheng with his hands tied, not daring to speak. He felt a little nervous in his heart. He always felt that Pang Ban kept focusing on him today, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"Shen Hao, I asked Jiang Cheng to tell you before that if you don't handle this matter well, I would let you choose a way to die. What did you choose?"
Shen Hao cupped his hands and replied: "I have no choice because I have found a way to handle this matter."
"Thread? You mean this confession, right? Tell me your reasons."
Shen Hao was slightly startled when he heard this, but he didn't expect Pang Ban to directly call his name again. Looking in front of him, Jiang Cheng nodded slightly before he raised his hand and replied: "Sir, with this confession and the banknote number, we have proof, and we can throw back all the dirty water thrown by the Qin family.
Even though the person directly related to Qin Xiuyuan has been protected by the intervening Shou Wang, as long as this confession is made public, some people will ask Shou Wang's father to hand it over, and then interrogate Qin Xiuyuan, and then they will know the cause of the whole thing. Why. "
Pang Ban seemed to be very interested in listening, waved his hand and said: "Go on, tell me who do you think will come forward to ask King Shou to hand over the person if I hand over these evidences? After all, you are just guessing whether the person is in King Shou's hands or not. You Are you so sure that someone will come out to help us with this?"
"Sir, I think the person who will help us with this is your Majesty."
