Jing Qibin walked to the table, sat down opposite Xia Chu, poured a cup of tea, and looked very disdainful.
He raised the tea cup provocatively and raised his chin towards Xia Chu.
"I have been honest throughout my life and am worthy of heaven and earth. Maybe I have not made much achievements in this position, but I am conscientious and will not discredit the emperor. You..." He pointed at Xia Chu and continued: " What’s the secret to having me?”
There was a hint of approval in Xia Chu's eyes. What Jing Qibin said was indeed true.
He may not be very outstanding, but he is loyal enough to the emperor and dedicated to the position of Minister of Punishment.
But maybe it was because he was too dedicated and too curious that Xia Chu took advantage of him.
"Xiang Zhen, Aonan, Qingbai, Fusui, Qishan, Peixiao." Every time Xia Chu read a name, Jing Qibin's face became gloomier.
"These people must be Mr. Jing's close friends, right?" Xia Chu gently pressed the fingertips he extended.
"So what? I have been in the Ministry of Justice for so many years. It is a joke that I have no confidants. Just because of this, you want to take advantage of me?" Jing Qibin said firmly, but his heart sank.
"Master Jing has misunderstood. He is just a confidant. How normal it is. However, I don't know what Master Cui would do if he knew that you arranged for these six people to be divided into three shifts for twelve hours and monitored him for three months without interruption. What do you think?" Xia Chu held his chin with his left hand and tapped the table with his right hand, his eyes looking so innocent.
This list was made when he went to Mingxiang Garden that day. Taking advantage of the free time when Bingwen asked Su Qian'an to go to Hanyang for business, he visited Kong Changhui's house.
Originally, Xia Chu just planned to remind Kong Changhui to make preparations and find someone to take care of Pang Weiguang. Because he broke into Cui Xuhong's mansion privately, and when he left the mansion, he saw Jing Qibin's staff left at the door of Cui's mansion, so he casually asked Kong Changhui In a word, is there any difference between Jing Qibin these two days
Kong Changhui told him that Mr. Jing had transferred several people in the past two days, as if he was keeping an eye on who in turn.
Xia Chu laughed at the fact that Jing Qibin was really curious and asked Kong Changhui for a list of his private transfer personnel.
Now, it was just a good time to intimidate Jing Qibin.
Xia Chu made two very exaggerated 'tsk' sounds: "Master Jing, of course I know that you are only serving the emperor and are afraid that Master Cui will form a clique for personal gain. But think about it, can you tell Master Cui like this? His hatred will be repaid. You have a little temper, and you have cultivated a confidant in the Ministry of Justice for so many years. I am afraid that he will try every means to get rid of you."
Jing Qibin stiffened, and Xia Chu poked his weak spot.
He wanted to refute it just now, saying that so what if he checked Cui Xuhong, he had no selfish motives.
But when I think about it, I realize that although Cui Xuhong is from the same neutral party as him, he is much more treacherous and cunning than him, with his vicious tricks one after another.
If he knew that he was checking him for no reason, it would be a coincidence that he had been monitoring him for three months and found nothing.
If Cui Xuhong catches this, he will have to kill the six people he brought out carefully. Not to mention killing them, he will at least find ways to drive them out of the Criminal Department.
Not only that, I am afraid that if I see him once in the future, I will be ridiculed by him...
"Are you really just taking him back for questioning, that's all?" Jing Qibin relaxed, frowning and confirming.
"That's all." Xia Chu stood up and saluted with clasped fists, and said in a solemn tone, "I guarantee it with my master's honor."
Jiang Yan tried his best to hold back, barely keeping his face expressionless and not laughing out loud.
"You must give it to me before midnight and send it back intact?" Jing Qibin confirmed again.
"It must be intact." Xia Chu smiled, and then added: "At most, it will be a bit cold. How about Mr. Jing dressing him thickly?"
"As long as it doesn't freeze to death, I should dress this thing thickly." Jing Qibin snorted coldly, with a very disdainful look on his face.
From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on Yuan Guangyi, putting aside whether he had medical ethics or not.
Just by saying that the emperor was poisoned in the hall of Dali Temple during the day in front of the courtiers and the people, he was shaking the people's hearts and had ulterior motives. He deserved to be directly thrown into prison by the emperor.
"Then let's hurry up and let's go, Mr. Jing..." Xia Chu bowed.
"I'm going to take care of things. You guys go to the backyard and wait." Jing Qibin said in a deep voice.
Xia Chu nodded and led Jiang Yan out of the window.
Xia Chu stood with his hands behind his back, waiting in the backyard. Jiang Yan reached out and touched his throat, and asked Xia Chu excitedly: "Master, how did you do this?"
Xia Chu smiled and said, "I just used a silver needle to change my vocal cords."
When he returned to Nongmei Ju from King Liang's Palace, he imitated Xiao Mubai's voice to call Han Sa. At that time, Han Sa and Xu Jing's reactions were much calmer than his.
Jiang Yan clapped his hands and said in amazement: "Young Master, you are really shady in framing someone up. If Si Nan is asked like this by Lord Jing in the future, everyone will be confused."
Xia Chu clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes: "What are you talking about? I haven't seen him in broad daylight. He tricked me into death. The best I can do is retaliate in kind."
Jiang Yan nodded frequently and responded repeatedly.
"Master, if you get him out, do you want to hand him over to the prince for a trial?" Jiang Yan had a fierce look on his face, as if he was gearing up and eager to try.
"I'm going to judge you. Didn't I just say that I have to pay it back before midnight." Xia Chu held his head against the pain.
"Really...really?" Jiang Yan looked startled. He thought Xia Chu was deceiving Jing Qibin, but it was Xiao Yanjun's reputation that he was trying to gain.
After so much effort, why should we give it back and let Jing Qibin go to Prince Yu's Mansion to ask for him? Why not
"Master Jing is one of the few good officials, so don't bring trouble to him. Besides, I have other purposes for finding Yuan Guangyi. What do you think you can accomplish by interrogating him?" Xia Chu pinched his brows. .
Jiang Yan also imitated him and pinched his brows, glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and thought to himself, just say that Yuan Guangyi has other uses, but don't bring trouble to him.
Ah…
I don’t know who the person who caused Jing Qibin’s misfortune just now was...
Naturally, you can only think about this in your heart. Jiang Yan would never dare to say it.
The two waited for a while before Jing Qibin came over with his attendant Miao Zhan and Yuan Guangyi, who had a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth and his hands tied behind him.
Jing Qibin glanced at Miao Zhan, and Miao Zhan escorted Yuan Guangyi forward and pushed him towards Xia Chu.
Xia Chu glanced at Jiang Yan, who quickly picked up Yuan Guangyi. Xia Chu bowed his hands to Master Jing: "Thank you, Master Jing."
Miao Zhan stood behind Jing Qibin and frowned as he watched the three of them leave. He couldn't help but stepped forward and said to Jing Qibin: "Sir, why do you think this Sinan is shorter than usual?" How much…”
