Chapter 439
Pang Ban's mansion is not far from Jiang Cheng's mansion. This area is lived in by the senior management of Xuanqingwei, and it is all old houses, but the location is good, and it is usually the Xuanqingwei who is replacing the deal. When someone retires, he will usually sell the house here. This is how Jiang Cheng's mansion comes from.
Without taking the bus, the two of them arrived at the place after walking about a cup of tea.
Unlike the kind of high-ranking and wealthy families that Shen Hao thought, Pang Ban's mansion was not big, and even if he only looked at the house, he was much smaller than Jiang Cheng's mansion.
"Pang Da Ren lives alone and doesn't like big houses, so he chose this place." As if he saw the confusion on Shen Hao's face, Jiang Cheng took advantage of the stall where the doorman came in to report and explained to Shen Hao in a low voice.
"Living alone? That huge man's family?"
"In your hometown in Jingzhong. Okay, let's go."
Not long after, the doorman came out to greet the butler of the Pang Mansion, led Shen Hao and Jiang Cheng into the mansion and went straight to the study.
The housekeeper served tea and chatted with him for a few words. Pang Ban walked in wearing a regular outfit.
Jiang Cheng and Shen Hao greeted each other quickly.
"There is no need to be so much etiquette at home. Sit down and drink a sip of tea. This tea is a tribute tea. This year, this is the first time Shen Baihu has come to me here and invite you to taste it."
When it comes to tea, Shen Hao remembered that Pang Ban had also talked about tea at his house before. At that time, it seemed that Pang Ban said that his tea was not good. He felt a little embarrassed, but he also stood up to thank him, and then pretended to take a sip. In fact, Shen Hao had drunk this tea before Pang Ban entered the house. The fragrance was good and delicious, but Shen Hao couldn't drink it from the specific good, so he had no knowledge. He could only nod.
Pang Ban smiled and saw Shen Hao's performance, and found it very interesting. Last time he mentioned "tea" at Shen Hao's house. This time he mentioned it again, but the small household in front of him still seemed to know nothing about tea. This detail made Pang Ban see a lot of things from it, and he was very satisfied.
"I'm afraid there is something urgent when you two come to visit late at night? Is there a breakthrough in the case?"

Shen Hao glanced at Jiang Cheng on the side when he heard this. Jiang Cheng winked at him. Shen Hao stood up, bowed his hand, and said, "Sir, all the people on the list of 37 people have been arrested before, and no one has been missed..."
Shen Hao's draft was thought of before, but now he said it in an orderly manner and progressive manner. On the one hand, it showed the speed and decisiveness of the Black Flag Camp in this closing operation, and on the other hand, it did not avoid the other party's toughness and cunning. He even said bluntly that the case had been in a short stalemate, but fortunately, it was discovered in the end that it was achieved in a roundabout way.
"So you have crossed the gap between the other party at the front, and now you have pushed the case to Xu Hong, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War. Right?" Pang Ban sat upright on the chair with a serious expression.
"Yes, the mastermind behind the scenes who can be directly identified by witnesses and clues is Xu Hong. The one who sent Zhang De and others to help Ma Sankui borrow a large number of storage bags from the Jingxi Army for smuggling and providing them with many conveniences is Xu Hong.
However, my subordinates have doubts about Zhou Qing’s conclusions.”
"Oh? Do you think Zhou Qing is telling lies?"
"No, it's not a lie, but my subordinates think that Zhou Qing only understands the surface and still does not involve the core of this case, so his view on the whole thing is not complete. At least in his subordinates' speculation, Xu Hong's energy is not enough to arrange such a conspiracy to collude with the barbarians over more than 40 years.
In addition, based on Ma Sankui's confession, it can be seen that Zhou Qing actually has many things that are not clear about. For example, the pseudo-evil monk behind Ma Sankui and how these lines were first tied together, Zhou Qing was "heard" and it was inconsistent with Ma Sankui's confession.
Therefore, my subordinates think that there is another person above Xu Hong."
Not to mention the perfection, at least Shen Hao combined the current clues and evidence to really push the "Ma San case" to the depth. He also boldly made speculations, and the implication was to test where the bottom line between Jiang Cheng and Pang Ban was.
It cannot be said that Shen Hao is foolish, but the case is too big. He only has a small household, and he doesn’t know the specific position. If he doesn’t understand the bottom line of the boss first, he will be a big trouble if he dares to do something randomly.
Jiang Cheng didn't say anything, but his face was calm.
Pang Ban was silent for a while and asked, "Then do you think there is anyone else behind Xu Hong?"
Without hesitation, Shen Hao directly replied: "I thought Xu Hong was standing behind General Zhu State, Minister of War, and Yang Yansi." After saying this, Shen Hao stared at Pang Ban's expression and waited for the other party to say something later.
Pang Ban was silent for a while before looking at Shen Hao with a smile and said, "Haha, do you know Yang Yansi's weight? And the status of this person in the Jingjiu Dynasty?"
"I know a little bit about it."
"Then you dare to doubt his head?"
"My subordinates only care about the facts of the case, and other subordinates are dull and dare not speculate. Everything is decided by the adults." Shen Hao would not take the ball stupidly, nor was he qualified.
"You are the duty. But you don't need to test it anymore. Do you think this case is just for our Xuanqingwei? Civil officials, military personnel, and even His Majesty are watching. Whoever dares to be careful will die first. Therefore, no matter who involves anyone, they must investigate it to the end. Not only will Mr. Jiang and you support you in this matter, but His Majesty."
Shen Hao bowed and thought that, he had a clear mind.
"Tell me, what are you planning later?"
"The subordinates are preparing to ask the Lord for orders. When the day dawns, they will hand in the local government offices of the imperial city and ask them to assist in the investigation of the Xu Mansion. At the same time, the Black Flag Camp, which is being followed in various places, will be ordered to fully close the network, and jointly with the local Black Flag Camp to find out the family background of all the people involved in the case. Then sort out and investigate, hoping to find clues to continue to advance the case."
"You're not sure?"
"...Yes, my subordinates found that the other party had a strong sense of prevention and investigation, and many people were not afraid of Xuan Qingwei's torture methods. Once Xu Hong was stubborn and difficult to pry it open, his subordinates were not sure to continue to advance the case." Although he was a little timid, Shen Hao still told the truth. At this time, he dared not "promote" like before.
Pang Ban didn't think it was offensive when he heard this, but said, "So you want to pull those civil servants in? I thought that if you can't do it yourself, you can still let them help you with some effort, right?"
"Sir, I know, that's what my subordinates really think."
As soon as he said this, Pang Ban shook his head, and Jiang Cheng next to him had the same expression.
"Although the idea is good, it's still too tender." Pang Ban directly rejected Shen Hao's plan. Then he added: "You think you are killing people with a knife, but in fact you are leading a wolf into the house. The civil servants are not only good at opening their mouths. At that time, not only the army is unlucky, but our Xuan Qingwei will definitely be dragged into the water by them."
