The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 289 She left without any regrets

"this…"

I really don’t remember! Have you ever said to treat him to dinner before?

 Du Wan's look said it all.

 When she asked someone to have a meal, she came as soon as she opened her mouth. She never got distracted.

Pei Hao didn't want her to just wander in. "I'll arrange the time and place. How about you go over and pay the bill?"

 “No problem.” Du Wan assured her by patting her chest.

 I didn’t realize it at all, and was tricked by the prince again.

Pei Hao didn't show any emotion on his face, but he was extremely happy in his heart.

 Finally I can find an excuse to go on a date with the little girl alone.

 The two of them talked about some things again, such as the case of the attack on Prince Consort Du.

Pei Hao has found out the insider in the Imperial City Division. Someone deliberately transferred the officers and soldiers patrolling that street, so that the fight lasted for so long without anyone noticing. If it weren't for someone around Du Consort who broke through the siege and went to the princess's house to bring reinforcements, Du Consort would have died.

Thinking that the Imperial City Department was under his control, he still apologized sincerely: "I was negligent in this matter. I'm sorry."

"What does it have to do with you?" Du Wan glanced at him sideways.

“After all, I am responsible for the Imperial City Department.”

“It’s just that your official position is the biggest, but it’s not yours.”

“…” Pei Hao’s lips turned up when he heard this.

The little girl must have felt sorry for him. Not only did she not blame him, she also tried every means to excuse him. Does this mean that the little girl now loves him miserably?

Du Wan’s truthful words were distorted to no end by him.

　　Du Consort was attacked, but he was still at the feet of the emperor.

This morning at court, the emperor was furious, cursed the courtiers, and decided to investigate the case strictly. Of course, the investigation of the case was left to the Criminal Department. The Criminal Department of the Great Qin State is usually responsible for major cases. Only some trivial cases in the capital will be handled by the Jingzhao Mansion.

Pei Hao received some news, but did not disclose it, "Wanwan, this case should be found out soon. Just wait patiently for two more days."

“Today I will accompany my father to the Yamen.” Du Wan told him about the suspicious tea.

Pei Hao asked: "Didn't you take out that bowl of tea and let the imperial doctor check it?"

"What are you taking? As soon as you take it, you will alert the enemy." Du Wan didn't want to say that she was stupid and didn't think of it. But of course it's hard to talk about this matter, and you have to look inscrutable, "I have locked in a suspicious person. Even if I don't check, my father will send someone to keep an eye on him."

Pei Hao knew that the Ministry of Punishment was investigating the case, and it was said that clues had been found.

The emperor personally watched, and the people from the Ministry of Punishment did not dare to deal with it.

Du Wan just took a sip of tea and stood up suddenly, "No!"

Then Du Wan ran outside.

Pei Hao chased after him.

The direction Du Wan ran towards was the Hubu Yamen.

It is noon at this time, when officials take a break. Some officials will stay in the Yamen and have lunch delivered by the government, while others will go home or go out to eat out.

 The junior official chose to go out.

Just after leaving the Yamen, he was killed.

When Du Wan rushed to the scene of the crime, the man was already dead, fatally stabbed.

Seeing this, Du Wan was about to be angry to death. This man was like a bait, and she wanted to rely on him to catch big fish.

Pei Hao also discovered it when he came over. "Maybe someone was checking him out, and the people behind the scenes discovered him, so they silenced him first."

Du Wan's first thought was that Du Huima arranged for someone to come and check.

 Perhaps the truth has been revealed and the other party has noticed it?

　　Officers and soldiers from the Imperial City Division surrounded the scene of the crime, waiting for people from the Criminal Department to come over.

Du Wanning listened to the situation around her.

 Haven’t you heard anything suspicious? The killer escaped so quickly?

Suddenly, Du Wan ran in one direction.

 Several leaps and reached the roof. I saw a man running wildly in an alley.

Du Wan chased after the man.

After chasing and escaping for two streets, Du Wan caught up with him, "The smell of blood? You killed him."

"Looking for death." The man's eyes were fierce and he was about to attack Du Wan when he felt a sudden pain in the back of his neck and fell straight forward.

Pei Hao didn't know when he stood behind the man quietly.

 His sword fell with one hand, and the man fell to the ground.

Du Wan asked: "Dead?"

"No, he's unconscious." Pei Hao looked at the man on the ground. "This man doesn't look like a soldier trained by his family. He looks more like a gangster or a murderer."

Du Wan didn’t know where he saw it.

 She couldn't see it anyway, after all, she had very little exposure to these things.

 At this time, Hu San came with people.

Pei Hao ordered: "Tie the person up and take him back to the Criminal Department for interrogation."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 offices

Hu San went up and searched the people.

　In addition to the silver and banknotes, it was just a short knife with a trace of blood on it. This is good evidence. After everything is packed, tie the person up and take him away.

 I don’t know if Hu San did it intentionally.

 In addition to taking away the prisoner, he also took away the others, leaving Pei Hao and Du Wan alone.

Pei Hao stood next to Du Wan and saw a stern face. The cold air coming from his body seemed to tell others that this girl was unhappy, very unhappy.

"Don't be angry. The people behind the scenes are so anxious that they won't be able to stay up for long even if nothing happened today. This little thing is not worth your anger." Pei Hao comforted softly.

Du Wan's little face was filled with anger, and she subconsciously pursed her lips, "It's my fault. I should have been watching outside the Hubu Yamen."

 “Can you still keep staring?”

“Anyway, if I go and keep an eye on him, that little official won’t be silenced at the yamen gate.”

“…” Pei Hao’s peach blossom eyes contained a smile.

 I didn’t expect that the little girl would have such a stubborn side.

He raised his slender, jade-like hand and held her wrist, "Let's go. What happened has already happened, and there's no point in worrying about it. Today you rushed to the murder scene suddenly and caught the murderer. I will take care of it." You covered it up. Don’t mess around anymore, otherwise, your secret will not be hidden.”

 “…” Du Wan nodded.

 It is best to use Qinggong when you come and walk when you return.

 There were only two figures in the quiet alley.

Pei Hao only wished that the alley could be longer so that he could hold the little girl for a longer time in broad daylight.

No matter how far the road is, it will eventually end.

 Two people walked out of the alley.

Outside the alley, I saw Zhuang Cong anxiously looking for someone.

Du Wan suddenly came back to his senses and waved his little hand towards Zhuang Cong, "Zhuang Cong! Here!"

"Princess Princess." Zhuang Cong finally saw the person and walked towards Du Wan. It's just that he has written Hu San down at this moment.

The alley that Hu San pointed out to them just now was actually the wrong one.

Now I see Pei Hao alone with the princess, what else don't you understand?

Zhuang Cong reminded: "Princess, it's time to go back to the house."

"Yes, it's getting late, let's go." Du Wan did not refuse, and waved goodbye to Pei Hao, took the reins of the horse from the guard, got on the horse, and walked away without any regrets.
