Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 362 A Compromise
"Miss, the Mu family sent a servant girl to go to the theater. They stopped and stopped all the way, looking very suspicious. I have already let Xu Rong go."

At this time Qi Jiu came back calmly.

Because of the large number of people, Shen Xi stayed in an inconspicuous corner, so he didn't pay attention to their movements.

When Shen Xi heard this, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said immediately: "You go too, immediately! Keep an eye on her, and don't let go of any strange movements!"

Right now, Liang Xiu and Han Dun are at a stalemate, and King Yan has not opened his mouth to make a conclusion. If this matter is really Mu's handwriting, then she must do something at this time, so that Han Dun will be defeated for a while!
That being the case, isn't the maid's departure very suspicious? !

In order to avoid complications, Shen Xi decided not to startle the snake for the time being, and let Qi Jiu keep an eye on Mu's business first.

Although it is enough for her to use her life as a cover to make such an act, and to let anyone be the murderer is enough to make her feel uncomfortable, but if it is really the Mu family, she can bear it!
Once it is proved to be her, at least it shows that she is on the opposite side of Han Dun. If there is her as a ally, it may not be fanciful to get evidence of Han Dun's adultery with Queen Mother Zheng!
At this time, she didn't even care about what they were arguing about. Anyway, even if it wasn't for Mrs. Mu, it wouldn't be her turn to intervene in this matter. The result is enough for her.

She was so quiet that she stood under the colonnade without saying a word, waiting to see if there would be a new turning point off the court.

Just at this moment, a guard hurried in from outside the courtyard gate, and he said loudly: "Report to the lord! My son! A dead body was found in the dry well in the backyard of Lanyue Tower!
"The dust and mud on the corpse's clothes and the size of the footprints are consistent with the traces outside the bamboo forest. At the same time, there is a bow and a few armor-piercing arrows beside the corpse.

"After Master Su's inspection, the material and color of this arrow are very similar to those left on the wall earlier.

"At the same time, a piece of 500 taels of silver was also found on the corpse, stamped with the stamp of HSBC, and Mr. Su has just taken the ticket number to HSBC to compare it, and this ticket number belongs to the Han family!

"And the most important thing is that the person who died was the guard of the Han family!"

Shen Xi looked at Han Dun suddenly, and Han Dun's face was also a little stagnant. He looked at King Yan, but the latter raised his eyebrows slightly.

At this time, he must still think that King Yan was responsible for the murder, especially after King Yan proposed to let Shen Ruopu into the cabinet, the whole thing seemed to force Han Dun and Liang Xiu to join forces.

And after he induced Liang Xiu to throw a stone on his own foot, now there is more evidence against him, compared to Liang Xiu's behavior of making people pretend to be witnesses to frame Han Dun, it seems insignificant!
This evidence was discovered in such a timely manner, if she hadn't noticed that Mu's maid had gone out, the brief would have made Shen Xi want to overthrow his previous conjecture!

"Elder Han Ge, what else do you have to say?" King Yan didn't see anything unusual on his face.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable to Han Dun. If he can't produce any other evidence, he will be blamed for this!
If the real culprit is not King Yan, then I don't know if he ever suspected Mu Shi?

She turned her head to look at the room where Han Ning was, but there was no sign of Mrs. Mu.

She thought it was impossible.

There are always differences in the way of thinking between men and women, just like when she and Qi Jiu thought of Han Dun having an affair with Queen Mother Zheng with just a slight movement of Mu, but Xiao Huai calmly thought of it after her analysis. Makes sense.

The Mu family has always kept a low profile. Even if King Yan was staring at the Han family, he would not be staring at a female family member. If he had no evidence, he would not be suspicious like her.

Shen Xi couldn't be sure that it was Mu Shi, but right now she was the only one who was more suitable.

"Mr. Han Ge doesn't know if there is anything to refute?"

Xiao Huai's voice suddenly brought her back to her senses.

If it were in the past, he would probably have rushed to Qianqing Palace without saying a word, but today he is relatively quiet.

Not only him, but all four people in the palace were quiet, including He Lanzhun who came with her earlier.

They seem to have formed a tacit understanding silently, and they are not in a hurry to execute this matter.

She suddenly remembered why the king of Yan would calm down after Han Dun refused to let Shen Ruopu enter the cabinet. Now if Han Dun wants to have a private relationship with the palace, what other options does he have besides agreeing to this condition?
The victim was Shen Xi, and Shen Ruopu should be compensated, which is obviously logical.

So, that means he already guessed that the black hand who disturbed the water was coming for Han Dun?

Is he actually reaping the benefits quietly?

And Xiao Huai and the others were not in a hurry, could it be that they were all waiting for Han Dun to bow his head?

Han Dun stood there with his back straight and no sign of flinching, but he didn't argue for himself again.

Originally, there were two purposes today, one was to lure Liang Xiu into the bait with the help of King Yan, and to cheat Liang Xiu while separating the father and son of King Yan.

The second is to use the sudden murder incident to completely force Liang Xiu to the opposite side of the palace or Xiao Huai.

Although the former was out of control, he was still able to control it anyway. He also succeeded in the latter, but he never expected that something unexpected would appear!
He knew the evidence was false.

King Yan and the others also knew about it.

But he was helpless!

King Yan's real trump card is not to use Han Ning and Shi Di to deal with him, but the "true murderer" of the assassination!
If he can't produce evidence, the Yan Palace will use this as an excuse to pursue him closely!
The murder has not been a fact, and Xiao Huai will not blatantly punish him to death, but the situation has changed!

The chief assistant minister secretly attacked the prospective princess, and the wind direction of public opinion will change. Once the wind direction changes, the situation in the court will also change. If he can't hold back, it will be difficult to explain in front of the palace and Taifu Bi , even if he can hold it down, it will take him a lot of effort!
... He should have known a long time ago, how could King Yan only have that kind of means? !
From the beginning to the end, he was just waiting to get Shi Di out of the cabinet, and then put Shen Ruopu in!
Looking at the sky for a long time, he said: "I don't know what's going on. But there will be a court meeting tomorrow morning. If it is convenient for the prince and the son, you can come and participate."

King Yan's purpose is nothing more than to let Shen Ruopu enter the cabinet, even if Shen Ruopu enters the cabinet, he, King Yan, can't just enjoy peace!

"Since Mr. Han Ge invites you, I have to rush over no matter how busy I am. It just so happens that the matter of the murderer has to be thoroughly investigated. By tomorrow, there will be almost a result."

King Yan's face was expressionless, and he chatted with Han Dun.

Han Dun stared: "In that case, Mr. Han will not disturb the lord." He cupped his hands, looked into the room, and soon someone went in to pass the message, and then Mu and the maids brought Han Ning out.

The soft sedan chair carried by the servants just arrived at the door, and Han Ning got into the sedan chair with only a momentary profile.

The people in the courtyard quickly retreated half, Han Dun took a deep look at Liang Xiu, and went out as well.

Seeing the crowd gradually disperse, Shen Xi still kept his eyes glued to Mu's back.
