102. The Black Hand (3)
Seeing the two of them falling into deep thought, Shi Qianshan said carelessly: "Although I first arrived at the precious land, I heard a lot of news about Lord Tao. One of them was very interesting, about a prefect."
Tao Mo looked up in shock.
Lao Tao looked at him cautiously.
Shi Qianshan smiled and said, "It's just heard that it's probably not true, right?" His face was very round, and his skin was squeezed up when he smiled, making his cheekbones more prominent, round, shiny, and indescribable funny.
Lao Tao said: "I wonder what news you heard?"
Shi Qianshan said: "I heard that the prefect of Qincheng asked Lord Tao to go to the prefect's office to sit a while ago. I wonder if this is the case?"
Old Tao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Prime Minister Qincheng is the immediate boss of my young master. It is normal to ask him to go to the prefect's office to sit in."
Shi Qianshan laughed and said with a smile: "That's right. It seems that I'm too careless. When I heard what people said about being locked in a prison cell, I thought Lord Tao and the prefect were in a bad relationship. Now I think about it, I must have heard it wrong. Please forgive me."
Tao Mo was not good at lying, so he could only lower his head and not speak.
Shi Qianshan said: "But in this way, Lord Tao must have never offended anyone, and no one would want to harm Lord Tao. In this way, my previous speculation is not true. It seems that it is not that someone wants to harm us, but that someone just wants to harm me."
The old Tao big snake rolled up and said hurriedly: "Do you know who it is?"
Shi Qianshan scratched his chin with round fingers and said, "In contrast to Lord Tao, the people I offended in half my life can only be described as countless numbers. If I really want to point out one or two of them, it would be difficult."
Lao Tao said: "Didn't you say that your friend is from the royal relative of the capital?"
Shi Qianshan said: "Indeed."
Lao Tao said: "I wonder which royal relative it is?"
Shi Qianshan said: "You really want to know?"
Old Tao said: "Not bad." He knew that Shi Qianshan said this to arouse his appetite and to pull Tao Mo into the water, but since the man had his ideas on Tao Mo, he could not help but cut off the relationship if he wanted to separate the relationship. Compared to the enemy's darkness and I'm brightness, it is better to know yourself and the enemy.
Shi Qianshan looked at Tao Mo again and said, "Mr. Tao also wants to know?"
Tao Mo said: "I will solve the case as soon as possible."
Shi Qianshan said: "Since that's the case, I'll say it. That person is the ninth prince who is the most beloved by the emperor today."
When he heard that it was a prince, Tao Mo's face changed. The biggest official he had ever come into contact with in his life was the prefect. To him, the prince was no different from the bright moon in the sky.
Lao Tao was quite calm. When he heard Shi Qianshan say about the royal relatives, he was ready.
Shi Qianshan said: "But this matter is mostly for me, so don't worry about it."
Lao Tao said: "But I just heard from you that this case may be aimed at you and the young master."
Shi Qianshan said: "I thought Lord Tao had offended someone, so he chose your territory to frame me. Now it seems that Lord Tao is not lucky and has been implicated by me."
Tao Mo heard that he was so heart-warming, and it was not easy to pretend to be deaf and dumb as before, and said, "It may be my relationship."
Shi Qianshan tried hard to open his eyes big and big to express the surprise in his eyes, "Where does this start?"
Tao Mo looked at Lao Tao.
Lao Tao said: "I wonder if Mr. Shi has ever heard of Huang Guangde?"
Shi Qianshan's eyes flashed, his body leaned back slightly, his back against the back of the chair, and his smile was light, "I've heard of it."
Lao Tao said: "He had some holidays with the young master."
Shi Qianshan said: "After saying this, I have some clues."
Lao Tao said: "I hope to hear the details."
Shi Qianshan said: "I'm going to hide it from you. I've been in the capital for so many years and know very well about the matter in the capital. Although Huang Guangde is just a prefect, his connections in the capital are probably more wide than many governors."
Tao Mo and Lao Tao both looked at him with awesomeness.
Shi Qianshan continued: "It is normal for people in the Ninth Prince's Mansion to have relationships with him."
Lao Tao said: "What do you mean is that all this is done by Huang Guangde and the Ninth Prince? But why does a dignified ninth prince use such despicable means to lead you into the trap?"
Shi Qianshan smiled bitterly and said, "Since I don't ask why you have a grudge with Huang Guangde, why do you come and ask me about the bride of the ninth prince?"
Tao Mo suddenly said, "I want to solve the case, not to trace the past. If you don't want to say it, I won't force it. It's just that this case has many doubts and is not good for you. If you can't give a reasonable explanation, it's just that it's difficult for you to get out."
Old Tao looked at Tao Mo in surprise. Just now, he was almost trapped in by the condom that Shi Qianshan had put in a few words. Unexpectedly, Tao Mo was still so sober.
Shi Qianshan sighed, "I offended the Ninth Prince in a daze after drinking. As for how to offend it... I am afraid that if the Ninth Prince knows that you know, you will not let you go."
Lao Tao said: "According to your opinion, the ninth prince wanted to punish you, so he sent a confidant to trick him. The confidant happened to know Huang Guangde again, so he got along with the best of both worlds, which led you to Tanyang County. One can plan to frame you, and the other can make my young master fall into the anger of Master Shi?"
Shi Qianshan said: "Because of this."
Lao Tao said: "But how dare Huang Guangde offend Taishi Shi?"
Shi Qianshan lowered his head and sighed, "I am not the only nephew of my uncle."
Lao Tao said: "But you are his beloved nephew."
"Love?" Shi Qianshan smiled self-deprecatingly, "The reason why he loves me is only for Yaoguang. Now Yaoguang is dead, and when he sees me, he will think of Yaoguang. When he thinks of Yaoguang, he will be sad and painful. How can he pamper me?"
Lao Tao was surprised that there was such a person.
Shi Qianshan said: "Forget it. Don't mention these annoying things. Lord Tao has anything else to know. I will definitely tell you everything."
Tao Mo said: "How can I find the ninth prince's confidant?"
Shi Qianshan was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Tao wants to testify with him?"
Tao Mo said: "He is a very important witness."
Shi Qianshan said: "Although that said, I would like to advise Lord Tao to give up this journey. The ninth prince is the emperor's true and most beloved son, and his personality is inevitable. If he wants to punish me, I will suffer a loss. If Lord Tao takes his idea to his mansion, he will probably implicate Lord Tao."
Tao Mo said: "If you cannot find evidence to clear your crime, you may be charged with rape and murder."
Shi Qianshan was silent and said, "If you really can't find evidence to clear the crime, then that's all."
Tao Mo was stunned.
"Anyway, my uncle doesn't like me anymore, but he won't let me defile the reputation of the entire family." Although he didn't say anything thoroughly, his meaning was already clearly expressed. As a last resort, Master Shi would definitely come forward to protect him.
Lao Tao said: "Aren't you afraid that the ninth prince will interfere?"
Shi Qianshan smiled helplessly and said, "In his eyes, I am just a chess piece that he calls and wields away. I will tease you when you think of it, but I won't be too ruthless all of a sudden, so as not to lose the fun of the next time."
Old Tao frowned. Judging from his tone, he was afraid that he would have a great relationship with the ninth prince.
Shi Qianshan said: "Of course, I don't want to alarm my uncle."
Lao Tao said: "If so, you should do everything you know."
Shi Qianshan said: "I have already said a lot."
Lao Tao didn't say anything, but just stared at him silently with his eyes, as if he wanted to dig out all the secrets in his heart from his face.
Shi Qianshan sighed and said, "Well. As for this, I still hold the pipa half-covered. Huang Guangde's connections in the capital also include several of my cousins. In fact, before coming to Tanyang County, I had heard a little about the grudges between Lord Tao and Huang Guangde. I hereby promise that if Lord Tao can help me clear the charge, I will definitely help Lord Tao with the responsibility of punishing evil and eliminating evil."
After coming out of the inn, Tao Mo asked Lao Tao, "Are you sure he is innocent?"
Lao Tao said: "Although he said sincerely, he still has unfinished words. Since he can know the grudge between Huang Guangde and the young master, how can he not know about Gu She and the young master? I am afraid that the grudge between him and the ninth prince is true, he is framed, but he is not aware that he is framed but is false."
Tao Mo said: "What does it mean?"
Lao Tao said: "I think he... was willing to fall into this trap." This also explains why his skills could save Miss Wu but he stood by and why he cooperated so much after going to court, just because he knew all this. "He had to jump down with his eyes closed. Huang Guangde might be true or false. He deliberately pulled him in, just hoping that the young master could clean his innocence."
Tao Mo said: "Then, how should I prove his innocence?"
Lao Tao said: "Young master doesn't have to prove his innocence. Just follow the original idea and find out the truth." What he still has not said is that, as Shi Qianshan's identity, if Shi Taishi really can't find out the truth, he will be guaranteed to come out. The only thing worth worrying about is whether Shi Taishi will take his anger on Tao Mo for this matter.
A carriage suddenly stopped in front of him.
Gu Xiaojia sat on the shaft of the car and looked at him with a smile.
