It rained all night, and it cleared up in the morning. Gu Heyan and Pei Hantang met in front of Duke Yan's mansion.
Pei Hantang: "Hey!"
Gu Heyan:…
Pei Hantang: "Hey, don't look at me like that. It was your boy who said there was progress in the case of whipping the female corpse, and I came to him."
Gu Heyan: "I know, so do I."
Pei Hantang: "Then you are still staring at me!"
Gu Heyan: "No conflict."
Pei Hantang was so angry that he pointed at the air with his fingers: "Okay, okay, Gu Yuyi, you are a friend of yours."
Gu Heyan: Hmm
"Good guy, how dare you answer with confidence!" Pei Hantang pretended to be angry.
Gu Heyan turned his head and walked towards Mu's house. "Qi, wait for me!" Pei Hantang trotted a few steps to catch up with Gu Heyan, and stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his shoulder: "To tell you the truth, I have no interest in your little son, but the little boy beside him. Waiter... one. Well, it's fun."
When the two entered the Mu Mansion, they were immediately greeted by a servant who trotted over to greet them. After learning their identities, they politely and thoughtfully brought them to the study in the East Courtyard.
Mu Zhiming and Wen Heyin were already waiting in the study.
"He Yan, Lord Pei, please take a seat." After Mu Zhiming bowed and saluted, he asked the two of them to sit down and take out the brocade-patterned money bag they got yesterday, and hand it over to Pei Hantang. "What is this?" Pei Hantang was puzzled.
Mu Zhiming: "Master Pei, don't worry, please listen to me one by one."
So, Mu Zhiming slowly told what happened yesterday.
Speaking of the two of them going to Zizuo's place alone, Gu Heyan frowned, thinking how dangerous it was
Speaking of the fight between Wen Heyin and the man in black, Pei Hantang looked at Wen Heyin and said, "Little thing, are you injured? How can two people just run away? It's too reckless."
Wen Heyin was disdainful: "Injured? How much does he want to hurt me? Ha!"
"It's fine if you don't get hurt." Pei Hantang hooked his lips," Mr. Mu, you continued."
"Okay." Mu Zhiming nodded.
Hearing that Zu Zuo was making money, Pei Hantang was still joking, saying that he never expected to investigate his own people, but when the names of Yuan's family and Yuan Baode came out of Mu Zhiming's mouth, Pei Hantang's face changed. All smiles disappeared. "Therefore, the murderer should be the son of the chief of the Criminal Department, Yuan Baode, Jinwen purse and wrench as evidence.
After Mu Zhiming said this, he looked at Pei Hantang.
Pei Hantang lowered his head and quietly looked at the brocade-patterned purse that he held tightly in his hand, and said nothing for a long time.
Wen Heyin couldn't hold back her breath: "You."
"Ayin." Mu Zhiming interrupted Wen Heyin softly and shook his head. Wen Heyin kept her mouth shut, and said no more.
"Yuan Baode." Pei Hantang opened the brocade-patterned purse and glanced at the jade wrench inside, "His uncle is the head of the Huo Si Si, Huo Xing."
"Yes." Mu Zhiming nodded lightly and sighed in his heart.
In fact, he could understand why Pei Hantang was silent.
The officialdom is like a play, the situation is treacherous, and the dark tide is surging.
Pei Hantang could immediately lead someone to Yuan's house and bring Yuan Baode to justice. But when the Jingzhao Mansion offended Si Yu, can he bear it
Presumably not even Pei Hantang's father, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture dared to oppose Huoxing. Would he dare to be a Shaoyin of the Jingzhao Mansion
In the study, no one spoke, and the needles could be heard falling. After about half a stick of incense, Pei Hantang suddenly raised his head: "I've decided."
"What are you thinking about?!" Wen Heyin suddenly shouted, as if she couldn't hold back.
Pei Hantang didn't seem to have expected him to be so excited, so he was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "How many brothers do you want to bring to arrest people?"
Hearing this sentence, Wen Heyin sighed deeply: "I didn't read you wrong!"
"What? You're right. Please clarify the little things." Pei Hantang asked.
Mu Zhiming said slowly: "Master Pei, this arrogant Secretary"
"I know." Pei Hantang raised his hand to interrupt Mu Zhiming's words, "Mr. Mu, in this officialdom, people's hearts, those shady and dark things, I understand no less than you, but Mr. Mu, I will not let it go. Injustice."
Mu Zhiming suddenly stood up and bowed to Pei Hantang.
"Mr. Mu, what are you doing?!" Pei Hantang was startled, and hurriedly got up from the chair to help Mu Zhiming.
Mu Zhiming's eyes were slightly red: "If there are more righteous people like Mr. Pei in the world, there will be fewer unjust, false and wrong cases."
"Master Mu, get up quickly." Pei Hantang said helplessly.
If you don't get up again, Gu Yuyi is going to come and pick my head!
Pei Hantang: "I feel ashamed. Although I am determined to avenge Zhaoxue, I still do not dare to fight head-to-head with Mr. Ou. I just thought about it, and I also want to think about countermeasures."
"Then have you thought of a countermeasure?" Wen Heyin asked.
"Yeah." Pei Hantang nodded and said calmly, "Tonight, take advantage of the night to act secretly, take advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, and catch him off guard. After Yuan Baode is captured and taken to Jingzhao Mansion, I will write overnight. The memorial will write the case to the emperor, and then the coffin will be finalized, and Si Yu just wants to make a stumbling block, but it will only be a waste of effort."
"Master Pei, I have something to ask for." Mu Zhiming said.
Pei Hantang: "Please speak."
Mu Zhiming pleaded: "To arrest Yuan Baode tonight, can I go with Jingzhao Mansion."
"This... "
Pei Hantang looked embarrassed, "Master Kemu, you don't know martial arts, if something happens"
"Oh, just promise my young master!" Wen Heyin said anxiously,
"For this matter, I don't think about food all day long, and I don't sleep well. I will be optimistic about our young master. Don't worry, if something happens, I will drag him and run away. We can run very fast! Absolutely not. I'll hold you back!!"
Pei Hantang was amused by the phrase "running so fast", and eulogized: "Okay, then I promise"
The four negotiated for half a day in the Mufu study, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, Gu Heyan and Pei Hantang said goodbye and left.
After walking out of Mu Mansion, Gu Heyan looked at Pei Hantang before he stopped talking.
Pei Hantang clapped his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile, "I know what you're thinking. Your little son is going, you can't worry about it, right? See you in front of the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion tonight."
Gu Heyan nodded: "Okay."
When the sun was setting, Yu Xia was like blood, and there was a majestic figure carved on the front wall of the house, looking at the people in the hall.
Huo Xin, the head of the Biao Division, sat in front of the ebony case to review the file, and suddenly a guard in purple and black robes rushed in, clasped his fists on one knee and saluted, "Master Huo."
Ok? "Although Huoxing is only over forty, his temples are gray, and when he raises his eyes, there is a chilling gloom in his eyes.
The guard got up, walked to Huoxing's side, and said something in his ear. Huoxing listened, his pupils widened slightly, and he suddenly became angry. The file fell on the desk, and his tone was terrifying like a bloodthirsty blade: "Really?"
The guard lowered his voice: "Master Huo, the letter came from the person who was placed in the Mu residence. Do you want to send the letter to the Yuan residence?"
"It's too late..." Huoxing's eyes rolled rapidly, and after a while, he said coldly: "Go, call for the brothers of Yansi and Mingsi to come and gather in front of the inner hall."
The guard clasped his fists: "Yes!"
