"Your Majesty? Your Majesty doesn't care about such trivial matters." Pang Ban smiled and shook his head.
"I thought that Your Majesty would definitely take care of it."
"Oh? Then keep talking."
Shen Hao came back to his senses a little. It seemed that Pang Ban was deliberately testing him? But is this kind of exam too high for someone like him, who serves as deputy chief of the local government?
But since he was asked, Shen Hao was not afraid of the stage. He quickly sorted out his thoughts and said: "My subordinates thought that the Qin family's dirty talk about us had changed since the Ministry of Punishment intervened. In addition, the Shou Wang actually had a hard time. Following our arrest warrant, we chose to help Qin Xiuyuan escape. The taste of this was something that my subordinates only came here this morning.
The core of this matter should be that the civil service group is taking the opportunity to suppress our Xuanqing Guard and reduce His Majesty's right to speak. King Shou chose to side with the civil service group in helping Qin Xiuyuan, and the purpose should be to gain the support of the civil service group.
Nowadays, the situation in the south is volatile. If the internal discourse power cannot be unified, it will be a big trouble. If Your Majesty doesn't want to directly attack those in the civil service group, you can use our confession as an entry point. Let King Shou hand over Qin Xiuyuan first. This is a matter between His Majesty and King Shou and his son. It is difficult for others to stop him. King Shou will definitely choose to avoid it as long as he does not want to directly confront His Majesty.
Then my subordinates thought that the mission of interrogating Qin Xiuyuan would be seized by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and that we would attend the investigation process as a "supervisor" and informant.
However, Qin Xiuyuan can be seen from his previous mistakes and is absolutely unreliable. Even if the Ministry of Punishment uses mild methods, it will definitely get a lot of things from him. At that time, what the Ministry of Punishment and the entire civil service group will consider is how to deal with themselves. Got it. "
Pang Ban: "Are you so sure that Qin Xiuyuan can reverse the whole thing once he confesses?"
"My lord. As long as Qin Xiuyuan admits that he was the one who stirred up trouble in the Qin family, all the subsequent derivative matters will no longer be a problem."
"Why? The complaint received by the Ministry of Punishment accuses you of indiscriminate killing of innocent people by Shen Qianhu of the Black Flag Camp in Fengri City. Don't you care?"
Shen Hao paused and said seriously: "My subordinate is the deputy Qianhu of Xuanqing Guard. I eat the food given by His Majesty and do the errands given by you adults. I follow Xuanqing Guard's own set of rules." , Who to kill and how to kill, there is no need to look at the faces of the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, they don’t care at all what they think of their subordinates.”
To put it bluntly, Shen Hao's idea is to just prove that the Qin family is deliberately throwing dirty water on Xuan Qingwei, and there is no need to worry about other things.
It's that simple?
Jiang Cheng's eyes first flashed with doubt, and after a moment he turned back and took a deep look at his disciple, his eyes full of joy.
Pang Ban's eyes lit up when Shen Hao finished speaking.
"Before, I told Mr. Jiang that Shen Hao's vision was not far enough and he did not see things thoroughly enough, but this time I changed my view. You analyzed it very well! Very few people of your age can have such vision. Master, you have finally revealed the key to this matter."
As long as it is proved that the cause of this incident was the Qin family's selfish desire to deliberately discredit Xuanqing Wei, the rest of the so-called "indiscriminate killing of innocents" does not need to be explained to anyone other than the emperor. Xuan Qingwei has been acting like this for so many years. You, the Punishment Department, can't stand it? none of your business!
In this way, the civil servants were reversed from the beginning of the incident, and all subsequent accountability against Xuan Qingwei could be treated as "private goods."
It is very appropriate to say "shooting yourself in the foot".
As for the longevity king who jumped out... Shen Haoti didn't even mention it. First of all, King Shou's actions were not directed at Xuan Qingwei or him, but simply because King Shou wanted to gain profits from the civil servant group. This matter may also be very simple for King Shou. No matter what the outcome is, his attitude of lining up with civil servants has been shown, and subsequent civil servants must give him feedback.
Shen Hao was surprised to hear Pang Ban's praise and quickly bowed in humility.
"There is no need to be modest. You are Jiang Cheng's disciple, and you should learn from his uprightness. So you can handle this matter according to your own ideas. In addition to going to the sea to capture documents and arrest Qin Xiuyuan for the Yamen, I will also use the command to make the Yamen I will send a formal inquiry to Prince Shou in my name, and he should take some action."
Hearing this, Shen Hao could only respond honestly.
After chatting for a while, although things did not unfold as smoothly as Shen Hao planned, fortunately, Shen Hao got the key evidence. At least the dirty water on Xuan Qingwei was wiped away, and the hosting rights were successfully handed over.
When he came out of the commander's office at noon, Jiang Cheng said he hadn't had a drink with Shen Hao for a long time and he was treating him to a treat. Shen Hao naturally followed suit. He knew that Jiang Cheng had something to talk to him about.
Jiang Cheng led Shen Hao out to a tavern, the kind in an alley. It seems that there are many taverns open deep in the alleys in the imperial city. The one where Shen Hao had salt and pepper chicken before was also hidden in the alleys.
He followed Jiang Cheng to the place and sat down, and then ordered a few side dishes. It is said to be the specialty of this place. The dishes are all evolved from the army's big pot rice. Jiang Cheng liked it the most. He also said that Shen Hao must also like it. Shen Hao agreed. , and also curious about what is the evolution of the army's big pot rice.
There is a large pot with a fire underneath, and the spicy oil soup base is boiling in the pot. Then the waiter brings the finely chopped meat slices, offal, meatballs, vegetables on a tray...
Isn't this just hot pot?
"This is called hot pot! Have you never tried it before?" Jiang Cheng skillfully put the food into the pot, while giving Shen Hao instructions on how to adjust the oil dish himself.
"I used to eat hot pot a lot when I was in the army, but there weren't as many seasonings as here, and there weren't as many meats and vegetables. The taste was also much different, but the taste has memories in it that I can never forget."
Shen Hao felt like he was in another world. He looked at the slightly rough utensil in front of him, but the actual way of eating it was exactly the same as the Shancheng hot pot in another world. By the way, there was only one Jiugong grid missing. Immediately while pretending to be "eating it for the first time", I exclaimed over and over again what a coincidence. If Jiang Cheng hadn't said that the hot pot here originated from military meals, he would definitely have asked if the owner of this shop was not a "local" like him.
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are over. Jiang Cheng poured a bowl of wine for Shen Hao, then took out a magic plate from his arms, set up a covering magic circle, and then smiled at Shen Hao and said, "What do you think of Panda?"
"Pang Pang? All of my subordinates have never met Pang Pang a few times. They don't know much about Pang Pang. I just feel a little nervous when I see him."
"It's normal to be nervous. There is a huge person in the Xuanqing Guard. Who can see that you are not nervous? But the huge person looks kind, but there are not many who are really kind to others. And you happen to be one of them, do you know why? ?”
Jiang Cheng suddenly brought the topic to Pang Ban, which was beyond Shen Hao's expectation. And when he mentioned this, Shen Hao also felt that in his impression, Commander Pang Ban was indeed far less terrifying than the rumors said. Jiang Cheng thought the other party was giving him special treatment?
