Chapter 2427 Re-entering Hou's Mansion
"The Minister of Justice is naturally you, Lord Guan Zhuo Guan." Wu Fan said lightly: "But since Mr. Guan had already suspected that I was related to this matter before, I investigated myself for my innocence and gave myself a cleansing myself. Isn't it okay?"
"Whether you are innocent or not, it will be confirmed after our Ministry of Justice has tried the case, rather than investigating it privately." Guan Zhuo said.
Wu Fan frowned slightly and said, "Shangshu Guan, I have no malicious intentions in this matter. I also hope that you will not be so wary of me. After I find out, I will naturally hand over the person to you."
"No, I will take it away now," said Guan Zhuo.
"That's not possible." Wu Fan said.
"If you stop me, I will take people around here. At that time, your subordinate will not be able to get rid of it!"
"If you dare to bring people to surround this place, I will kill the assassin before your people arrive, so that you can't find out. You know, I have that strength!"
Guan Zhuo and Wu Fan faced each other in a tit-for-tat way, and were unwilling to give in to each other.
Guan Zhuo stared at Wu Fan tightly. Although he was quite dissatisfied, he also knew that Wu Fan was telling the truth. Wu Fan was indeed capable of killing the assassin before his men took the assassin away.
Once the assassin is killed, the clues of the matter will be cut off, which will obviously cause great trouble for the case.
Guan Zhuo dared not bet, he dared not bet on the assassin's life because this matter was too important.
"Okay!" Guan Zhuo said in a low tone: "But, when you interrogate the assassin, I will be on the scene! Don't worry, I am the only one, and there will be no one else there."
The so-called Feng Shui turns.
When Wu Fan asked Guan Zhuo for interrogation, he was able to be present, but now, it was when Wu Fan asked him to be present. Guan Zhuo asked to be present at the scene, and the status of both sides was completely changed.
Fortunately, Wu Fan did not reject Guan Zhuo like Guan Zhuo before, but nodded and said, "Yes."
Guan Zhuo nodded, and his impression of Wu Fan was slightly better. Wu Fan did not make things difficult for him, which means that Wu Fan was still good. Guan Zhuo's suspicion of Wu Fan was also much lessened. If Wu Fan was really suspicious, he would never agree to let him watch.
However, since Wu Fan has nothing to do with this matter, why should he insist on investigating this matter personally? Could it be that he really just wanted to restore his innocence as he said?
Guan Zhuo did not believe that Wu Fan's purpose would be so simple.
As he thought about it, Guan Zhuo was about to enter the Zhou Mansion. From Wu Fan's reaction just now, he could already guess that the assassin rescued by Wu Fan must be in the Zhou Mansion at this moment.
"etc!"
But Wu Fan stopped Guan Zhuo at this time.
Guan Zhuo stopped, turned around and looked at Wu Fan, and said, "Why, do you regret it?"
Wu Fan shook his head and said, "Since I agree, I won't regret it. However, this matter is a bit complicated. I can let Shangshu Guan meet the assassin first, but please don't ask anything and wait for me to come back."
Guan Zhuo frowned slightly, wanting to object, but hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"good!"
Afterwards, Wu Fan asked the people from Zhou's mansion to lead Guan Zhuo in. As for himself, he did not return to the mansion again, but continued to head towards Hou Yi's mansion.
This is not the first time Wu Fan has been to Hou Yi's mansion. When he arrives again, he is familiar with the journey.
Wu Fan had just arrived before, but the time he came before was to find Ruan Ting, and this time he came, his target was Hou Yi.
Hou Yi is not difficult to find. After all, as the head of the family, Hou Yi must be quite a small house, and most of them are in the middle. Wu Fan’s only worry is that Hou Yi is not in the mansion at this moment. If that is the case, he will need to spend some time looking for Hou Yi.
Fortunately, Wu Fan was lucky and found Hou Yi quickly in the mansion.
Hou Yi was in a bad mood at this time.
Because, not long ago, shortly after Ruan Ting left the mansion and went out to "shop", he received an inquiry from the palace. The person inquired was naturally the new emperor Zhao Lun, and the thing he asked was about the assassin.
It is obvious that Zhao Lun already knew about Ruan Guang being captured alive by the ninth prince’s mansion.
Zhao Lun was very angry without expectation and asked Hou Yi what was going on. The visitor even scolded Hou Yi mercilessly in accordance with Zhao Lun's tone. This is why Hou Yi was in a bad mood.
Hou Yi knew that Ruan Guang was arrested and could not be kept secret for long. Even if he kept it secret from the outside, the Ninth Prince's Mansion would not be kept secret. I believe that the people from the Ministry of Justice would know it soon. So many people knew it, and it was not surprising that the news reached Zhao Lun's ears.
However, although he knew that this matter could not be hidden, Hou Yi still hoped that the matter would be delayed for a longer time. In that case, he still had the opportunity and space to operate. Whether it was to kill Ruan Guang to silence him or rescue Ruan Guang, it would take time.
Unfortunately, Zhao Lun did not give him this time.
"Damn it!" Hou Yi's face was gloomy and said to himself: "This Zhao Lun is indeed not a good thing! If it weren't for me, you could have ascended the throne and become emperor? I'm afraid that you have been imprisoned by Guan Zhuo now! As a result, after this bastard ascended the throne and became emperor, he turned against others and did not leave any affection. Damn it!"
Hou Yi kept frowning at Zhao Lun. Zhao Lun's attitude towards him made him very disappointed. He thought he was the biggest contributor to help Zhao Lun ascend the throne. As a result, he was criticized mercilessly by Zhao Lun after all but not doing a small thing well, which made him unacceptable.
However, no matter how much he curses, the matter still needs to be resolved. If this matter is not solved well, he even suspected that Zhao Lun would push himself out as a scapegoat without hesitation.
"Come!"
A servant walked in.
"Ting'er hasn't come back yet?"
"not yet?"
"Where has this girl gone? She won't go out alone for so long every time."
Hou Yi waved his hand and asked his servant to leave, but muttered in his mouth.
Originally, he planned to send Ruan Ting to the palace in a few days, but now it seems that he can't wait any longer for this matter. If he waits, he still doesn't know what Zhao Lun will do to him. He must first stabilize Zhao Lun.
Of course, Ruan Guang’s affairs cannot be delayed. Whether it is rescue or silence, as long as Ruan Guang doesn’t say what he shouldn’t say.
Just as Hou Yi was thinking about how to rescue or silence Ruan Guang, a black shadow suddenly flashed in. Hou Yi did not expect that he could be attacked at home and did not react at all.
