Chapter 18 Why is he like this
The post only contained the time and place, and the signature was not a name, but a jackdaw.
Qiu Heng knew where the post came from—Master Xue Han.
With Uncle Yongqing's words, Qiu Heng only needed to ask for permission before she could go out, but she still chose to climb over the wall.
She solved the problem of being detained in Lengxiangju through Yongqingbo in order to be able to enter and leave the homes of officials and prepare for future actions. However, it is still too troublesome to go out openly and openly. There are no shortage of maids, servants, and coachmen. It is far less convenient than climbing over the wall.
The place where the two met was a tea shop. When Qiu Heng arrived, Xue Han was already waiting there.
He was also alone, without an entourage.
"Master Xue." Qiu Heng took off his curtain hat and said hello obediently.
"Miss Qiuliu, please take a seat." In the elegant room filled with the fragrance of tea, the young man's voice was clear and clear, and he did not have the aura of the imperial envoy who was feared by all the officials.
Qiu Heng sat down as he was told, with a nervous and expectant tone: "Master Xue, is there any news about the murderer?"
Xue Han looked at the anxious girl, and after a while he said: "We found out the identity of that person."
"Who is he?"
"That man comes from a noble family. Miss Qiuliu, think about it carefully. Do you really want to know?"
Qiu Heng fell silent after hearing this.
To others, her silence may seem like she is struggling, but in fact she is surprised.
In her expectation, no matter how Han Wu was used by Xue Quan after he was caught, the identity of the real culprit would definitely be known to her. After all, she is the master of suffering, the knife that "borrows the knife to kill".
And Xue Han actually gave her a chance to choose.
Could it be that Lord Xue, the imperial envoy with a bad reputation, is actually a kind-hearted gentleman who cares about the poor and the weak?
"I want to know, please tell me, Mr. Xue."
"The commander in front of the palace is Han Ziheng, the son of Han Wu."
After the girl heard this, her eyelashes trembled, and her eyes showed surprise and anger: "I have seen this person before. I went out with my grandmother that day..."
"What are Miss Qiuliu's plans?"
"I want to report to the official." The girl said every word.
A solid surprise appeared on the face of the cold-tempered young man, which made his indifferent eyebrows a little more lively: "Report to the official? Miss Qiuliu, you are now a noble daughter of the uncle's house. I am afraid that you will attract a lot of criticism if you come forward to report the official. .”
"I don't care about that, I just want justice for my adoptive father." Qiu Heng stood up and bowed deeply to Xue Han, "Thank you Master Xue for helping me find out the real culprit. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will repay Master Xue for your great kindness. ”
She turned around, one step, two steps——
A voice came from behind: "Miss Qiuliu, stay."
Qiu Heng turned around and looked at the boy who called her quietly.
This Master Xue is so young, so young that her judgment has no confidence.
And soon, Qiu Heng discovered that he had thought wrong again.
"If Miss Qiuliu must report to the official, I will go and talk to Grandpa Ling."
Qiu Heng looked shocked: "Grandpa will not agree."
"He will agree. Miss Qiuliu will wait a little longer."
Soon Uncle Yongqing met Xue Han.
"The sixth girl's adoptive father was killed by the son of the commander of Han Du?" After hearing Xue Han's words, Uncle Yongqing's mind was buzzing, as if he had been hit by a giant elephant.
Enduring his headache, he took a deep breath: "How could Mr. Xue——"
Xue Han smiled: "I took the liberty to go to your mansion to make trouble. I saw that my granddaughter was quiet and calm, with hands as soft as catkins, unlike a farm girl. Xue was still worried, so he sent someone to the south to investigate. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected harvest. .”
Uncle Yongqing's heart trembled.
Imperial City Department—no, Xue Han’s adoptive father Xue Quan, Eunuch Xue, wants to make a fuss about this matter?
"Now that my uncle knows it, he wants to make the decision for his granddaughter, right?" "For example--" Uncle Yongqing asked tentatively.
"For example, report to the official and let the villains be punished by law."
Uncle Yongqing's face changed drastically: "I can't help it. I can't help it. How can she, a girl, be involved in a lawsuit?"
"My father feels that the reputation of loyalty and filial piety is far superior to anything else."
Sure enough, it was Eunuch Xue who used the topic to his advantage!
Uncle Yongqing broke out in a cold sweat: "Master Xue, the commander of Handu is really not something that Uncle Yongqing's mansion can offend."
Xue Han smiled: "My uncle is afraid of offending the Han family who harmed his granddaughter's adoptive father, but he is not afraid of offending the Imperial City Secretary who is willing to defend his granddaughter?"
Uncle Yongqing was about to cry.
He didn't dare to offend anyone. When gods fight, mortals suffer!
Xue Han's tone changed: "Perhaps my uncle didn't know, but Miss Qiu Liu has a filial heart to redress her adoptive father's grievances."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Uncle Yongqing was stunned.
This means that by letting Liu Yatou come forward on his own, he can then say that the girl who grew up in the country is ignorant and makes her own decisions... Although this will greatly offend the Han family, it is at least better than him coming forward in person.
But it's just to be stronger. If you offend Han Wu, it will be difficult for him in the future.
"What do you think, uncle?"
The young man who asked the question was calm, but Uncle Yongqing trembled unconsciously.
This kind of young people who have not yet reached the top but have power are the most terrifying. They often think less, do more, and dare to do anything.
Xue Han knew that it was almost done and threw out the bait lightly: "My father is also very concerned about what my uncle is thinking about."
Uncle Yongqing's eyes suddenly lit up.
What he wants most is to pass on the title!
For this reason, he has been courting Prime Minister Fang for a long time. If he can use this incident to establish a relationship with Xue Quan, the eunuch beside the emperor, then there will be more hope.
Moreover, the relationship between Prime Minister Fang and Eunuch Xue is acceptable, and there is no conflict in trying to please them.
Uncle Yongqing, who was persuaded by Xue Han, turned around and called Qiu Heng.
"You mean, let me report to the official by myself?"
"Hey, Heng'er, without your adoptive parents, you wouldn't be here. You can't be said to have no conscience. The other party has a distinguished status, and it is inconvenient for my grandfather to come forward for the sake of the entire uncle's house. If you are afraid——"
Qiu Heng's eyes turned red: "My granddaughter is not afraid!"
She beheaded first and then reported it to the official, but Uncle Yongqing took the initiative to ask her to report it to the official, so that she would not have to bear the anger of her elders.
In Xue Han's eyes, she is like thousands of girls who have not left the court. Her grandfather has absolute authority and he is very considerate of her.
Xue Han...why is this?
"Go." Uncle Yongqing waved his hands, wanting to cry together.
He was afraid, he was going to be forced to death by that boy Xue Han!
A shocking new thing soon happened in Beijing: a little girl actually sued Han Ziheng, the son of the commander of Handu, and this little girl turned out to be the granddaughter of Uncle Yongqing.
Uncle Yongqing hurriedly went to the Yamen to take his granddaughter back, but the Imperial City Secretary came forward to provide information from the investigation in the south.
Tsk, the Imperial City Secretary is really doing whatever it takes to get things done. He tricked a little girl into suing the son of a powerful official without telling her family.
Jingtianfu Yin looked down at the girl with swollen eyes from crying and the dude who denied it, and sighed heavily in his heart.
Trouble.
"There are only some people's testimonies, so no conclusion can be drawn. Further investigation is needed..."
Qiu Heng raised his hand to wipe away his tears and said loudly: "My little girl still has physical evidence."
