Inscription of Different Cases

"Master Han, His Royal Highness King Zhao is here to invite you."

Stepping into Prince Zhao's Mansion again, Han Lang felt a little less anxious and more melancholy.Zhao Wang met with him alone, Yao Xinlian was not there, it is said that he went to learn Kung Fu.When Han Lang heard this rumor, he was still speechless secretly, thinking that the only daughter in Zhao Wang's family was really raised as a man.

Zhao Wang was sitting in the study, and Han Lang kowtowed to pay his respects as soon as he entered the room, and then was ordered by Zhao Wang to sit on the chair next to him.

"How are you doing these days?"

Zhao Wang greeted him with a smile, Han Lang immediately responded politely: "Thanks to His Highness for your concern, everything is fine."

King Zhao nodded, and took a sip of tea slowly: "What has He Daxia been up to recently?"

Han Lang's heart skipped a beat, thinking that since Yu Zuoshu had told him about He Yijiu's meeting with King Xian, King Zhao must have known about it.Is he here to test himself?Han Lang quickly calmed down and said respectfully: "It's nothing more than busy with mundane chores. Your Highness, please be at ease. Although he is a bit quack, he is reliable."

Zhao Wang's tone was still gentle, but there was a hint of seriousness in it: "Mr. Han seems to be quite trustworthy of that person."

"I can guarantee my life."

King Zhao looked at him inscrutably, without comment, and then said: "You know the situation in the court, and the Taifu has been ill for a long time, and we have lost another assistance."

Han Lang lowered his head: "It's because I'm not good at handling the case."

"This is a matter of the entire Dali Temple, and I won't blame you alone," he said, stroking his beard and facing Han Lang, "Although it seems a good thing for a caravan to come in the name of offering tribute, but As far as I know, the caravan has contacts with the sage king, and I'm afraid there are other plans. Your Majesty has nightmares every night and is disturbed by state affairs on weekdays. As a subject, I should not add trouble to your majesty. I hope Mr. Han will pay more attention."

Han Lang hurriedly responded, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty's nightmare, what is the reason...?"

King Zhao sighed: "I'm afraid it's still caused by monsters."

"This……"

"Famous doctors from all over the world have been invited to see him, and they all said that His Majesty is not suffering from any illness, and His Majesty is also very careful on weekdays, it doesn't seem like someone around him is murdering him."

Han Lang was silent, and the sound of autumn rain coming from outside the window was disturbing.He couldn't help thinking: for the sake of talking about it, King Zhao and King Xian are really going to confront each other head-on this time.It seems that the matter of He Yijiu can't be kept a secret. Zhao Wang has emphasized "pay more attention". If he wants to keep silent, won't it attract more people's suspicion?

So Han Lang cleared his throat and told about King Xian's meeting with He Yijiu and General Shui Qi.Sure enough, Zhao Wang's expression relaxed a little, and he nodded after listening: "This is an important clue. But Mr. Han, what kind of answer did that hero He make?"

Han Lang said firmly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, he won't agree."

He made an agreement with He Yijiu yesterday to reject King Xian's proposal this time.Zhao Wang said "Yes", and seemed to be quite satisfied with his answer: "Alright, if he invites you, maybe you can give it a try and get some information for me. That He Daxia behaved a little recklessly, I'm afraid I've exposed my feet, so it's appropriate to refuse."

It really is people doing their best.Han Lang slandered.If it's reckless, I'm afraid he still doesn't trust He Yijiu, but why does he trust himself so much?

Unexpectedly, Zhao Wang's next words completely answered this question: "Mr. Han is already twenty-six this year, right? Since he is coming to the capital to settle down, I'm afraid we should make some plans."

Han Lang was slightly taken aback: "Your Highness means...?"

"You are not young anymore. If you are an official in Beijing, you must have a family member to take care of the housework for you. Xinlian is stubborn, but I have another niece who is also waiting to be married now. If you are willing to marry, that's fine." A happy relationship."

Although he meant to ask, but he spoke smoothly, as if he was giving an order.Han Lang murmured in his heart that it was not good, and quickly searched for a suitable explanation: "This... Thank you for your concern, it's just—"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Wang had already seen that he wanted to refuse, so he directly interrupted his words: "Could it be that you are still hesitating about that He Daxia?"

Han Lang was dumbfounded, King Zhao looked at him a few times, and continued: "As a man, you will be an important member of the court in the future, do you still plan to live in such a muddle forever and never get married?"

"His Royal Highness has wronged love, I am just an apprentice, how can I be an important official in the court..."

"Mr. Han, don't be modest. You have a stable temperament, know the general principles, and understand the righteousness. You will definitely do something in the court in the future. Is it possible that you want to give up this great future and go back to that small county?"

Having said that, Zhao Wang was a little annoyed, and looked at him quietly with a little disappointment.It is an honor that many people can't even hope for, for the prince to personally propose a marriage.Who knows that Han Lang has been doing everything possible to find excuses to refuse, no matter how self-restraining Zhao Wang is, he will inevitably show anger at this time: "Mr. Han, you are a smart person, you must understand what I mean. Since you come, Anzhi."

Speaking of this, how could Han Lang not understand?King Zhao must have felt that Han Lang, a mediocre commoner, was able to come to the capital because of his own blessing.He has given Han Lang so many benefits. If Han Lang is a knowledgeable person, he will definitely be loyal to him in the future.The gift of marriage is nothing more than a means for him to strengthen this relationship.He felt that Han Lang was a talent to be made, and that a person of this background could receive such treatment, and most people must have been grateful to Dade for a long time.

As a result, Han Lang acted a little ungrateful.

King Zhao took a sip of tea slowly, waiting for Han Lang's reply.Han Lang hung his head without saying a word. After analyzing in his heart for a long time, he faintly felt lucky.King Zhao's move is really clever, Han Lang is not even a county captain now, and everything from official positions to residences is provided by King Zhao.King Zhao's power should not be underestimated. If Han Lang dared to disobey King Zhao, he would definitely not be able to take it for granted.

However, although King Zhao's move was subtle, it was still a miscalculation.If it was Han Lang half a year ago, with no power, power, and support, he could only cling to the high branch of King Zhao and live like walking on thin ice.But now that Han Lang knows his life experience and possesses strange skills, he naturally has ways to get out from under the opponent's nose.He no longer wanted to be an official anymore, Du Shi's death exacerbated this idea, if not for his responsibility, he would have stayed away from this intriguing place, and hid with He Yijiu in an inaccessible countryside.

Unexpectedly, even King Zhao came to force him to make a decision. If he had any hesitation about the future before, then at this moment, he has completely made up his mind to leave.

Zhao Wang has been observing his expression, seeing that his tense face is a little loose, thinking that he has figured out the stakes, he smiled and said: "If you are worried that He Daxia will have nowhere to live without you, then I will Help you again. Although he has never studied, I can also arrange for him to enlist in the army as a captain, and I will definitely not treat him badly, what do you think?"

It's because he has nowhere to live without me, it's obvious that I can't live without him.Han Lang couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry.Zhao Wang's words obviously meant to distract himself and He Yijiu, how could he make his wish come true?

Han Lang still didn't answer. Although he had made up his mind long ago, he still pretended to be hesitant on the surface.Zhao Wang was really fooled, and said earnestly: "There are so many rich young masters in the capital, which one of them didn't covet fun when they were young, and in the end, they all married wives and had children. Mr. Han, if this continues, it will not only delay you, but also delay the future." He is a hero. Think about it carefully."

When he got home and saw He Yijiu, Han Lang told him everything that happened before.Sure enough, He Yijiu snapped the case, his eyes widened: "Marry a wife? How dare you!?"

"I didn't agree." Han Lang waved his chopsticks and said, then picked up the roasted eggplant that He Yijiu had just made and stuffed it into the bowl.He was very hungry, he couldn't bear the hunger in the first place, and he kept his vigilance at all times in Zhao Wang's mansion, and when he got home, he was so tired that he couldn't get up.It was still raining outside, and the cold autumn wind was blowing. The sky was as dark as a heavy stone, which made people feel no warmth at all.Han Lang smashed the eggplant several times, wrapped it in rice and swallowed it, not forgetting to say, "This smells so good."

He Yijiu couldn't help showing a doting smile, but when he thought about the topic just now, he couldn't laugh again: "And then, what does King Zhao say?"

"I said that I want you to become an official." Han Lang said vaguely with his mouth full of rice grains.

He Yijiu snorted: "Who cares!"

"Although I didn't say anything, he thought I would agree sooner or later. I can see that he has that confidence."

He Yijiu sneered, "Hmph, naive."

These two people have been aggrieved in the capital for so long, and now they can finally not be manipulated by others, and they have successfully won the round. They both felt an indescribable sense of comfort.He Yijiu was happy, and went back to the kitchen to cook two dishes, took a pot of wine, and took Han Lang to have a hearty meal.

In the afternoon, after the rain, the sky cleared up, and the trees were covered with crystal clear water droplets. When the strong wind blew, they fell one after another, falling on the faces of passers-by.The sunlight was still so sparse, occasionally showing half of his face, which was quickly covered by gray clouds.Han Lang and He Yijiu came to the Grand Tutor's Mansion again, greeted the gentleman, and walked away with ease.

This time they found an excuse to visit the Taifu, but they still wanted to investigate the case.Han Lang always felt that the case was not so easy to end. The entire Taifu Mansion case was like a huge spider web, with complicated relationships and difficult to sort out.

"Let's split up," he said to He Yijiu, "I'm going to see the Taifu, you find a way to look around."

When they met the Taifu, they just talked about the scene, not to mention that the Taifu was not in the mood to deal with such a small role as Han Lang.After coming out of the backyard, Han Lang ran into the fourth aunt again, and suddenly heard a lot of positive and negative words.Now that the fourth aunt's status is getting stronger, it seems that she is even more lawless.After Han Lang passed her by, he couldn't help but look back a few times, and suddenly saw the maid named Shu Yun closely following her.

Didn't this servant girl give it to the Taifu and take it back?

It seems that the status is not low.Looking at it from Han Lang's perspective, he could just see Shu Yun accusing the young servant behind him, with an arrogant attitude, exactly the same as Fourth Aunt.

Han Lang looked away, looking thoughtful.As soon as he walked back to the courtyard, He Yijiu came out from the side and quickly pulled him to the corner: "Come here, I found something."

"what?"

He Yijiu opened the gap between the branches and leaves, looked around to make sure there was no one there, and then dragged Han Lang deeper: "You will know when you see it."

In front of me was a begonia, which was in full bloom. The fallen flowers all over the ground were washed with a layer of weak white ink after being washed by the rain, and most of them had been covered by soil.This place is low-lying, and after the autumn rain, most of the nearby water passes through here, and then flows into the ditch.It has been raining continuously for the past few days, and this depression has been washed out of obvious depressions, and there is a touch of whiteness in the layers of silt that is unusually abrupt. Han Lang stretched out his hand and pried it lightly, and a good cup appeared impressively!

It was the missing teacup!

"Who buried it here?" Han Lang asked to himself, and the answer was ready to come out immediately.In this family, there was only one person who was in charge of serving the Taifu in the study, had contact with the Taifu at the time of the incident, and had personally admitted to pretending to be a cup holder——

Maid Shu Yun!

"I'll bring her here!" He Yijiu said decisively.

"No, wait a minute," Han Lang called to stop him. "The two of us don't have enough identities, so we definitely can't talk. I'll go back to Dali Temple first to find someone."

Yu Zuoshu happened to be in Dali Temple today, and when the two explained their intentions, he immediately showed a look of astonishment: "There is still this matter?!"

"It's absolutely true." Han Lang directly handed him the mud-stained cup.

Yu Zuoshu hesitated for a while, the case was closed, and another incident happened, wouldn't it seem that their Dali Temple was vacillating in handling the case, and they would say something later?If you want to leave it alone, isn't that allowing the real murderer to get away with it?Soon, the sense of justice suppressed the idea of ​​calming down the matter, and he immediately ordered: "Bring that maid over here!"

It didn't take long before people brought it.Han Lang clearly felt that the maid was calm when she first arrived, but panicked when she saw the cup, and even muttered "How is that possible" to herself.Now Han Lang was sure that it was no coincidence that the cup appeared there.

"Shu Yun, what's the matter with this cup?"

Shu Yun took a few steps back, shook his head and said: "I don't know, I don't know, maybe someone stole the cup and buried it in the courtyard..."

"By whom?"

"The servant really doesn't know!"

"Since you don't know anything, why do you know that this cup is 'buried' somewhere?"

Shu Yun's eyes widened, and she shivered suddenly. After a moment's pause, she faltered and said, "Up, there's dirt on it, so..."

The reaction was quite quick, Han Lang thought to himself, but the more it was drawn, the darker it became.The narrow interrogation room was full of instruments of torture. Under the signal of Yu Zuoshu, Han Lang took one of them and threw it heavily on the table. As expected, the servant girl trembled all over, covered her head and cried, "My lord, spare me!"

Han Langchao cast a questioning look at Yu Zuoshu, and after receiving a positive answer, he turned to Shu Yun and said coldly, "You must be the one who poisoned Master Taifu."
