Chapter 893 Chapter 893
Pei Jian took a sip of hot tea, pondered for a moment, and nodded slightly, "I roughly know what the prince means. He doesn't want this matter to become a topic of conversation after dinner when he meets the emperor today."
He Jiang bowed and thanked him.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Master. I have never coveted the young lady. This unexpected disaster... Alas!"
After saying this, he bowed and said goodbye. When he passed by Jin Yunfan, he snorted heavily.
This disgusting marriage has to continue——
Jin Yunfan was standing beside him, and seemed to be carrying a very heavy burden on his shoulders.
The pressure was so great that he couldn't breathe. He kept trying to say that his sister was innocent, but it was completely useless in front of this group of people.
Some of what Qiuying said might be fabricated, but most of it was not without basis.
"Da Lang, why don't you come with me to Jing Zhao Yin to see the body of the maid?"
Jin Yunfan waved his hands weakly, "My Lord, my mother's body is still being kept at home, and there are many trivial matters to deal with. I will send the steward to identify the body later."
He Wenhan saw this and said, "Well, the eldest master sent someone who knew the maid to identify the body. Now it seems that there are no external injuries on the body. The reason why she fell into the well needs to be investigated in detail."
Jin Yunfan's face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot.
The face that was hit by He Jiang was now covered with bruises and was quite swollen. To be honest, it looked quite embarrassing.
Pei Jian finally told Jin Yunfan, "This matter is really important. Please don't hide it from your father. We can't let this go. The young lady has evil intentions and has bad intentions."
The final word fell on Jin Fuyun.
Jin Yunfan opened his mouth to speak, but Pei An had already walked up to him and said, "Brother Jin, I'm sure you don't know anything about this. The eldest lady insisted on doing it on her own. Not only did she harm others, I'm afraid you will also be implicated."
Finally someone understood his suffering. Jin Yunfan sighed and laughed bitterly, "Thank you Silang for your sympathy. To be honest with you, my uncle, the two princes, and Silang, my sister has been like a madman since she came to the capital..."
At this point, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "My sister met with misfortune on her way out of the house to visit Mr. Qu in October. Her reputation was ruined, and she was almost beaten to death by my father when she returned to Liyang."
When I raised my eyes again, I was exhausted.
"As a woman, even if she has evil intentions, please spare her life for the sake of her reputation and innocence."
When he said this, his face was filled with shame.
Unable to speak any more, he hurriedly bowed and left. After everyone left, Liu Huan sat in his father's study, his face full of sorrow, "This elder brother really doesn't know, or is he pretending to be confused? The elder girl has failed to stir up trouble and has caused so many lives, but she is still begging for her life--"
He fell back in his chair and looked at his father's study. The old man had never been good at fighting for power and always kept a low profile. He was over sixty years old, but he was still full of energy. However, he died at the hands of these bastards.
How can I absolve myself of my father's murder?
He Wenhan brought the tea from the teapot and personally added some tea to Pei Jian and Liu Huan. "My prince, please accept my condolences. Your Majesty's heart is as clear as a mirror. You will never be so confused about such a major case."
only--
He raised his eyes and looked at Pei Jian inquiringly.
Pei Jian understood and said in a deep voice, "Sir, a little impatience can ruin a great plan. How can we appease the many innocent lives that have been harmed in the underworld by arresting only one or two of these villains? Not to mention that the old prince is such a noble man with great virtue and generosity."
Liu Huan learned from his mistakes and could only endure it.
"She and my daughter-in-law had a murderous feud for no reason. Not only others couldn't understand it, even my naive daughter-in-law couldn't understand it."
Is it really for Pei An?
It doesn’t make sense!
Pei An whispered, "She must have been possessed by a demon. I underestimated her before. She dared to take over the East Palace, let alone a mansion like ours."
To He Wenhan, what he heard was exactly what he had guessed.
He had to report to his superiors that the emperor intended to seal the documents and volumes first, and then announce them to the world when the opportunity arose.
That day...
I'm afraid this will be the day when the Jin family will be destroyed.
Everyone understood it tacitly and no one pointed it out. Pei Jian had been busy all day and was a little exhausted after all, as he was old. He exchanged a few words with Liu Huan and He Wenhan and then said goodbye.
Liu Huan escorted him to the door and said sincerely, "Thank you very much for helping me."
His Majesty is a wise ruler, a strict ruler, and a secretive emperor. Although Liu Huan is a member of the clan, he has never made any achievements in the court. He only relies on his blood relationship with His Majesty. But if the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had not stepped up, His Majesty would have let these things go in the current situation.
When Pei Jian got on the carriage with the help of his two sons, Liu Huanyi watched him go at the door.
Pei Jian lifted the car curtain and nodded, "Prince, please be patient and take care of yourself."
"Thank you, uncle!"
Seeing the carriage drive away, Liu Huan turned around and called He Wenhan in. He Wenhan sighed, "Sir, I will not go in. It is getting late today. Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to take away the suspect Qiuying and issue a wanted notice for Meng Xiaoxing in the Jin Mansion."
"Thank you, sir."
The mess came to a temporary end. Jin Yunfan looked embarrassed, and when he got into the car, he scared Jin Mo who was waiting at the gate.
"Master, who did this? How bold!"
Jin Yunfan thought it was inconvenient to say more outside Prince An's mansion, so he got on the carriage with a gloomy face. After driving away, he shook his head and said, "He Jiang!"
"How dare he..., he..., he treats you like this!"
Jin Yunfan leaned against the wall of the carriage, listening to the jingling of the horse bells, closed his eyes and thought for a long time before opening them, "Uncle Mo, do you think my father will come to Beijing?"
Jin Mo was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.
"The prince passed away suddenly. No matter how many excuses the general had before, he would definitely show up at his wife's funeral."
Jin Yunfan's voice was hoarse. He touched the swollen area on his face and took a breath of cold air.
"It seems that they want to make a big deal out of a small matter, but the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and Prince An's Mansion don't want to do that. They explicitly want father to come and give an explanation."
Jin Mo pondered for a moment, feeling rather helpless, "Master, this... is it a final conclusion that it was all our eldest daughter's fault?"
"Qiu Ying is right. Bai Cao is also dead."
what?
Jin Mo was surprised, "Where did he die?"
"There is a dry well under the camphor tree next to Yingxue Pavilion in Prince An's Mansion. Tomorrow you will go to the Jingzhao prefect in person to identify the body."
"Who did it?"
Jin Yunfan smiled bitterly and said, "Master He said that the coroner looked at the body carefully and found no fatal injuries. She was either pushed into the well and hit on the head, or she slipped and fell down by herself."
slip?
"impossible!"
Jin Mo shook his head repeatedly, "The eldest master knows that the Bai Shao sisters are the general's servants. They have been trained since they were young. They know some martial arts and are very alert. Could it be that the dry well has no edge?"
