Jiang Cheng was stunned by Shen Hao's words.
"Reveal? What do you mean?"
"Sir, don't you think Qin Xiuyuan expressed fear and anger in his letter?"
Jiang Cheng picked up the half of the letter and read it again. Not to mention, after Shen Hao reminded him, he could really see some anger in the letter. Why the anger? Taking into account the context and Qin Xiuyuan's experiences when he wrote the letter, I am afraid that these angers are also closely related to his experiences.
"It's quite obvious. But how can you be sure that this is an "exposure"? Shouldn't he write to the Ministry of Punishment or us if he wants to expose? What should he write to his family to expose?"
"Sir, if you expose an outsider, you will definitely write to us. But if you expose one of your own, don't you have to write to the pillar of your own family?"
"Expose one of your own?! Are you saying that Qin Xiuyuan feels that he became a fugitive because he was harmed by his own family?"
"Actually, it's not impossible. If there really is such a person, then the emotions shown in this letter make perfect sense."
Jiang Cheng did not ask Shen Hao for the basis for his guess, because the key was whether he could get the content behind the letter. What needed to be considered now was how to reply to King Shou.
Of course, guessing about the letter can be used as an aid to help make the decision.
"Leave your things here with me and go back first. You can investigate the case as you like now. Don't be affected by King Shou's actions. I will inform you if anything happens."
"Okay, sir, I will take my leave now."
After Shen Hao left, Jiang Cheng had no intention of resting. Sitting in the study, I read the half of the letter twice more. The more I read, the more I realized that Shen Hao's judgment was accurate. Indeed, the emotion in this letter was really like the opening line of "I feel aggrieved and want to expose the scum of the clan to the head of the family." .
Jiang Cheng knew that Shen Hao was hiding some words. He did not force Shen Hao. He also knew that Shen Hao had some concerns even when facing him as a teacher. It is human nature to not care deeply about parents, let alone teachers? But this does not affect Jiang Cheng's appreciation of Shen Hao.
He is a very sensible young man.
What would happen if Qin Xiuyuan's letter was really exposing someone from the Qin family? In what direction can King Shou take things so seriously and use this letter as a bargaining chip?
To be honest, Jiang Cheng had no idea, but he was at least certain that the civil servants would hate Xuan Qingwei and want to eat their flesh.
After thinking about it, Jiang Cheng finally gave up the idea of going to Pang Ban to report to him overnight. Although this kind of thing was important, it was not an urgent matter. In addition, it was too late. Jiang Cheng finally decided to go to work at dawn and look for it.
However, the annoyance in his heart also kept Jiang Cheng awake all night. Early the next morning, he found the commanding officer waiting at the Yamen, and Pang Ban called him in as soon as he arrived.
"You came to guard me early in the morning. Why is it so urgent?"
"Sir, Shen Hao was invited by King Shou yesterday to discuss some matters. The stakes are very important and my subordinates dare not make decisions without authorization, so I would like to ask you to check them." Jiang Cheng said as he handed over the information that Shen Hao brought to him last night. The letter was presented to Pang Ban's desk.
At the same time, Jiang Cheng introduced: "This was brought out by King Shou when he was talking to Shen Hao. He wanted to use the content behind this letter as an opportunity to "form a good relationship" with our Xuanqing Guard."
"Good karma? Haha, the princes are all taught by the emperor. They believe in themselves. When did you believe in fate? Return good karma? It's interesting." Only Pang Ban dared to tease the prince so bluntly, but Jiang Cheng only Those who can chat don't dare to talk to each other.
I finished reading several hundred words in no time. After I put it down, Pang Ban’s smile did not diminish and he asked, “Does King Shou have anything else to say?”
"What King Shou means is that this letter can allow Xuan Qingwei to turn against the client in this case and completely destroy the arrogance of the civil service group. However, he also requested that we can use him as an official when describing the case to the outside world. Write "Assisting Party" in it."
"Assisting party? You mean to put aside your hat and take revenge on those civil servants?"
"Yes, my lord. How do you think you should reply?"
Pang Ban knocked on the letter on the table without thinking, and said with a smile: "Why don't you want the knife that was delivered to your door?"
"But if you take this knife, won't the relationship between the civil servants and King Shou be in chaos?" Jiang Cheng also had his own concerns. It was decided that Pang Ban would take charge of the matter, and he had to finish what he needed to say, so that if something went wrong at some point, he would be blamed abruptly and be blamed unjustly.
"The relationship is in chaos?" Pang Ban shook his head and said: "When did the relationship between our Xuanqing Guards and the civil servants get better? Take this case as an example. It is not that the civil servants want to use our methods to take advantage of the opportunity to attack His Majesty in the government. Only because they have the right to speak in the middle school? They can do it in the first grade of junior high school, but we can't do it in the fifteenth grade?
It's just a knife, what are you afraid of?
Again. It's too simple for King Shou to want to use this knife to get involved with us. I don't know if this is his real idea or a pretense. Your Majesty can suppress Yang Yansi and take away the power of the Ministry of War without any evidence. Who can reason with this domineering attitude? He is the reason. How could he get away with the Shou King's matter by playing some tricks?
But these have nothing to do with our Xuanqing Guards. If he wants to act, the most important thing is to accompany him. I don't know who he can deceive. "
In Pang Ban's view, King Shou's actions were simply ridiculous. Are the relationships between factions and major forces child's play? If you want to pinch your nose and coax your eyes, that's just childish play and useless. Or maybe King Shou just wants to keep his reputation? For the sake of face?
The latter guess, Pang Ban thinks, is the most likely.
Pang Ban continued: "Since Shen Hao is the one who came into contact with King Shou, let him continue to contact him. There is no need to do any sneaky tricks. Since he wants to form a "good relationship" with us, then he must do it openly and honestly. It depends on Let’s see if King Shou has the courage to approach this ball of fire, Xuanqingwei.
In addition, please tell Shen Hao that after I get the thing, I don’t care what the so-called "handle" on it is. I have only one request. No one in the Qin family should be left alive, and all of them must be killed. It doesn't matter if the dossier has some flaws, people must die cleanly. Not everyone can throw dirty water on our Xuanqing Guard, and a mere right-hand minister takes himself too seriously. "
Speaking of these, Pang Ban's tone was cold, and his expression showed murderous intent.
A mere right servant? This may only be so worthless in Pang Ban's eyes.
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he held his hands in response. This was almost the same as what he had expected before coming. The Qin family is definitely doomed. Unless His Majesty comes to take care of it, no one can save it. He has confidence in his protégé. When it comes to handling cases, he is an extremely powerful master and will never let the Qin family escape.
The only thing that was slightly surprising was that Pang Ban's attitude towards Prince Shou seemed to be really not optimistic at all.
