Chapter 292 Everyone is here
Xiao Jinghan sneered, his eyes flashing with cunning, and said: "Look, I am helping people? I am clearly muddying the water!"
Luo Lingyue's eyes widened, and she said in dissatisfaction: "Do we need to drag the King of Qin down to muddy the waters?"
Xiao Jinghan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and patiently explained: "The King of Qin is responsible for the safety of the entire capital. There is no reason why so many people know about it. The King of Qin might not know it!" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Luo Lingyue frowned, nodded thoughtfully, and asked in a low voice: "You mean to say that His Majesty already knows about this?"
Xiao Jinghan sneered, a trace of calculation flashed in his eyes, and he replied softly: "How could Emperor Wen not know everything that happened in the capital? Moreover, after the virtuous prince entered the palace, he would definitely go to find Eunuch Gao as soon as possible. After all, he doesn't want to be suspected by His Majesty!"
Luo Lingyue sneered and said sarcastically, "Isn't the virtuous king your ally? Why did you even harm him?"
Xiao Jinghan suddenly burst into laughter, with a hint of teasing in his voice, and responded: "Haha, I didn't harm him, it was clearly Lord Lang who tricked him! Are we going to watch the show here or go back home?"
Luo Lingyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly, looking at Xiao Jinghan with a half-smile, then took out a pot of wine from behind her, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Would you like to drink? This is the wine I brewed myself, named 'Immortal Drunk'!"
A smile flashed across Xiao Jinghan's stern face, as charming as the first melting of ice and snow, and he said softly: "With good wine and my little beauty by my side, the long night won't feel long! In this case, I will accompany my wife to watch the show here!"
Not far away, the King of Qin dismounted, bowed to the virtuous King, and respectfully called out, "Uncle!" Then, he nodded slightly to the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, "Your Highness, Third Brother!"
The prince looked gloomy and said in a very unpleasant manner: "Second brother! You really came just in time!"
The King of Qin looked solemn and said in a low voice, "Someone shot an arrow at the Jingji Camp! I am worried that something has happened in the capital, so I came here to check the situation! Uncle, you are here so late at night, has something important happened?"
When the virtuous king heard the words of the King of Qin, he secretly pondered the ins and outs of this series of events. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. His brows knitted tightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. If there was no one behind this, it would be a fantasy! The virtuous king knew that there must be something hidden, but at this time he couldn't find the answer immediately.
The wise king felt a splitting headache, as if countless questions were flooding his mind. He reached out and touched his eyebrows, trying to ease the tension. Then, he gathered his cloak and cast his eyes on Lang Ming, who had been trying to hide.
The virtuous king shouted to Lang Ming in a voice with some majesty: "Lord Lang! Come here and explain to the King of Qin what happened tonight!"
In the cold wind of deep winter, Lang Ming felt as if he was being roasted on a fire. He did not dare to disobey the order of the wise king, so he could only step forward. He knew that he could not escape now and had to face this situation.
Lang Ming took a deep breath and slowly walked out of the darkness, forcing a bitter smile on his face: "Your Highness Prince Qin! Tonight, the Ministry of Revenue's clerk Shi Changqing was killed in the mansion. His wife said that she saw with her own eyes that it was the prince's followers Xuanhu and Xuanbao who killed him! But... what is the truth of this case? Further investigation is needed!"
King Qin looked at Lang Ming expressionlessly, a hint of indifference flashed in his eyes, and he sneered, "For such a big murder case, why didn't Lord Lang call the Dali Temple and the Minister of Justice? Can you solve the case by yourself?"
When Lang Ming heard what the King of Qin said, he suddenly understood and secretly cursed himself for being stupid.
He nodded hurriedly and said respectfully, "Your Highness the Prince of Qin is right. I was careless for a moment and forgot about this matter. I will ask someone to find the Supreme Court Minister and the Minister of Justice right now!"
After saying that, he turned around and waved to the two yamen runners behind him, and ordered: "You two, go and invite the Dali Temple Minister and the Ministry of Justice Minister!"
The two bailiffs nodded quickly and left in a hurry.
After listening to the conversation between the two, the prince was shocked and his face instantly turned gloomy. He snorted coldly: "King Qin! It's the middle of the night and it's winter. There's no need to bother other officials!" There was a hint of dissatisfaction and displeasure in his voice.
Before the King of Qin could speak, the Third Prince on the side immediately spoke up: "What you said is not right, Prince! This is a homicide case! If it is not investigated thoroughly, it will not only affect your reputation as the Prince, but will also make the people panic! What's more, this case happened in the city. If it is not investigated thoroughly, the people will definitely feel fear and unrest in the future! Wouldn't this affect you, second brother?" The Third Prince refuted the Prince's words sharply.
The prince cursed the Third Prince in his heart, but on the surface he forced a smile and nodded, saying, "Third brother, you are absolutely right!" Although he hated the Third Prince to the core, he could not show it at the moment and could only pretend to be calm.
Xiao Jinghan stood on a high place, overlooking the street where the yamen runners rode away on horseback. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he gently nudged Luo Lingyue beside him with his elbow: "Your cousin is really an extraordinary person! This time he actually went directly to ask the Dali Temple Minister and the Ministry of Justice Minister! It seems that this scene is going to become more interesting."
Luo Lingyue looked up at the sky and found that it was beginning to turn pale, indicating that dawn was about to come.
She sighed softly, drank the last sip of wine in the jug in her hand, and then said with some disappointment: "How boring! It's almost dawn, and they haven't fought yet! Let's go! It's time for us to go back and rest." After that, she stood up and prepared to leave this place.
When Xiao Jinghan heard Luo Lingyue's words, he immediately showed joy on his face, and his eyes were shining with anticipation. He asked excitedly: "What did my wife mean by 'sleep'? Is it what I imagined?"
Hearing this, Luo Lingyue's eyes flashed with cunning and charm. She walked lightly to Xiao Jinghan's side and stared at him closely. Her eyes were as deep and charming as clear lake water, as if they could attract people deeply.
Xiao Jinghan's heart beat faster involuntarily as Luo Lingyue stared at him so closely, and his chest felt like a deer was beating wildly.
His face flushed slightly, his breathing became rapid, his mind went blank, and he was completely unable to think about anything else.
The next second, Luo Lingyue kicked Xiao Jinghan off the tower without hesitation. Xiao Jinghan didn't expect her to attack suddenly, and was caught off guard, falling rapidly.
However, just as he was about to land, he nimbly flipped over in the air, hooked his feet tightly on the edge of the tower, and barely managed to stabilize his body.
