"Sir, I'm sorry for the inconvenience here. Please go to the side hall to talk."
"Prime Minister Cui, please!"
It was impossible for Xing Bang to stay in the mourning hall for long, and Cui Sheng seemed to have something to say, so the two of them left the mourning hall.
Cui Yuan naturally didn't dare to follow, and then he knelt back to his original place obediently.
"Eunuch Xing, I wonder if any of the maids has woken up now?"
"This poison is really powerful. The maid's heartbeat is getting weaker and weaker. I'm afraid she is in great danger."
Xing Bang had originally planned to inform Qin Bingyan of the maid's death tomorrow, so Cui Sheng must have been asking about Qin Bingyan's afternoon situation by asking this question.
"My wife told me everything that happened this afternoon. I really troubled you, my father-in-law. This daring maid actually dared to murder the lady. If I tell anyone, I will be ashamed. The lady really died unjustly."
Cui Sheng was delighted and thought to himself that Qin Bingyan really had a way. Not only men were obsessed with her, but eunuchs were no exception.
"Prime Minister Cui, don't blame yourself too much. This is fate. I believe your wife will understand you if she knows about this."
Xing Bang didn't want to say more about this matter. It was all obvious, and Cui Sheng had already decided that he would not delve into the matter further.
"However, regarding the case of the female corpse in the dry well, I hope that if Cui Xiangru knows something, please help me so that I can report to the Sixth Prince."
"Cui has no choice but to do his duty. Please rest assured, father-in-law!"
Then, Xing Bang didn't say much. He already had an idea about the case. Cui Sheng had a secret conversation with him just because he knew the situation from Qin Bingyan and then came to him to confirm it.
Cui Sheng felt relieved and naturally had nothing else to do. While letting Xing Bang drink his tea, he took out a silver note from his sleeve.
"Choi Prime Minister, what are you doing?"
"Eunuch Xing, I don't mean anything else. You just moved into a new house a few days ago. Prime Minister Cui wanted to go and congratulate you that day, but he was afraid that it would be inconvenient, so he didn't go. This is just a small token of my respect. I hope Eunuch Xing will accept it!"
Cui Sheng spread out the banknotes and pushed them in front of Xing Bang with a smile on his face.
Five hundred thousand taels, the words are so big that you can see them at a glance.
This little gesture is really thoughtful. Both of them are very rich.
"Since Prime Minister Cui has said so, I won't be polite!"
"Of course, of course, please don't be polite, sir."
Cui Sheng smiled with joy. Only after giving away the silver would he feel truly at ease.
Therefore, Xing Bang accepted it without hesitation. It was not unfair for him to pay 500,000 yuan to settle a murder case.
As for Qin Bingyan, she is the woman he earned with his own ability, and has nothing to do with Cui Sheng. The two things are totally unrelated. Is there something wrong with that?
The only way to give him face is to go back and take a shower and go to bed.
However, Xing Bang was a little suspicious that if he didn't accept the silver, would Cui Sheng sacrifice someone...
It’s hard to say.
Xing Bang was just curious and there was no need to do this. It was like beating a dog to death with one stick. Although Cui Sheng was a coward, he was still the right prime minister after all. He was still a human being, and such a person was still useful.
"Thank you very much, Minister Cui."
Xing Bang picked up the banknote and shook it...
"As it should be, Cui should thank Eunuch Xing!"
Then, Xing Bang left with a smile on his face. What a shame! He accepted the gift from others and came back to say thank you to us!
…
The next day.
Xing Bang handed the maid's body to Cui Sheng for disposal, and then left the prime minister's residence with his men.
Prince Yan's Palace.
"Your Highness, that maidservant was not rescued!"
“Oh, it’s already very difficult.”
Liu Jing seemed not to care about this matter. After all, he saw it with his own eyes. Blood was oozing from all seven orifices at the time, and he thought the man was dead.
"Well, little stick, what shall we do next?"
"This case is already difficult to begin with, and now the only clue has been lost. Moreover, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be holding a funeral in the next few days, so it is not a good idea to ask any more questions. We can only instruct the Ministry of Justice and Shuntian Prefecture to continue looking for strong clues. Let's just wait and see for now."
Xing Bang knew that the person behind this case was Liu Xian, and the evidence was in his hands. The best option was to wait and see. In the end, Liu Xian would have the final say, so there was no need to waste his energy. Besides, there was really no way to investigate.
However, I still have to go to the Xiangfu...
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I think this case is also unsuccessful."
Liu Jing's idea is very simple, if he can make a contribution and show his face, then he will do so, but if there is no other way, then forget it.
"Little Korean, since today is a holiday, let's go to your house to play. I have stayed in this mansion long enough."
"My mansion is just like your own house. You can go there anytime. Come on!"
"Haha, this is what I like to hear. Let's go now."
Liu Jing likes to do whatever he wants. No matter what Xing Bang says or does, it really suits his temper. Otherwise, how could he treat him as a buddy from the bottom of his heart.
The distance was not very far, and Liu Jing did not ask for a carriage or a horse, and he did not bring any followers with him. Of course, Xiao Xizi was his follower, so he had to bring him with him.
The distance was not too far, so the three of them walked leisurely towards Xing Bang's mansion.
"Little Korean, to be honest, the Jiaofang Bureau is really good at training female artists. The singing and dancing of Miss Cuihong and Miss Qingmei that day were really good, much better than those in my house."
"If Your Highness likes them, you can take these two girls with you when you return."
"That's not necessary. I want to send a few singing girls over for training. Ever since I heard the music at the Jiaofang Bureau that day, the singing girls in my palace are all talented, but I always feel like something is missing."
"As long as His Highness likes it, it's not that difficult. You can send her there for further training. In such a place, women may be more open-minded, and they will probably be different when they return."
But Xing Bang knew that something was missing. The experience at home was definitely different from that outside. Besides, women from the Jiaofangsi would be more or less influenced by the professional atmosphere.
Home flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, it seems to be the same as this!
"Well, since you said it's okay, I'll send a few over some other day."
“…”
Xing Bang looked at Liu Jing's smiling face and thought, damn, this kid has indeed made some progress, but it's impossible for his character to be so restrained, right?
After thinking about it, I understood. It was probably because of the last incident of the Jiaofangsi being impartial and just. This guy didn't want to destroy the heroic image, so he consulted Xing Bang's opinion in advance.
Xing Bang didn't think about these things at all. Even if he went to the Jiaofangsi to listen to music now, he wouldn't stop him...
Just don't go to the palace for no reason.
Soon, the three of them arrived at Xing Bang's residence.
No problem, a banquet was set up in the hall, and Cuihong and Qingmei sang and danced to entertain the guests.
"Haha, it feels so good to drink and have fun at someone else's house!"
Liu Jingman drank a large glass of wine, looking excited.
Um?
Xing Bang frowned slightly. Something was wrong with this kid today...
