At such a time, if he still didn't understand, Zhang Shaoyou wouldn't have been able to reach his current position.
Without a second thought, he stood up, bowed to Fan Zhengguo, and then asked.
"The one who tied the bell must untie it. How did you get your official position? Don't you know yourself?"
As Fan Zhengguo said this, he smiled mysteriously and patted Zhang Shaoyou on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your guidance, sir!"
After a moment of thought, Zhang Shaoyou's back suddenly felt cold.
Although Fan Zhengguo didn't say it explicitly, what was the difference between this and saying it directly?
Wasn't this clearly telling him that Wang Fu's death was related to Han Mo?
"Alright, alright, we don't need all this between us. Hand over what you have in your hands, and then go back early today. Things over there are also a mess!"
Fan Zhengguo actually had a good impression of Zhang Shaoyou. After all, they had been together for so long, and Fan Zhengguo recognized his character and ability.
"Thank you, sir!"
After sending Fan Zhengguo away, Zhang Shaoyou quickly handed over his official duties to his deputy, gave a few instructions to his confidantes, and then got into a carriage, heading straight for the Princess's manor.
"Master, Lord Zhang is here, and he says he has an urgent matter to see you. What do you think?"
"I figured he'd be here soon. Please let him in!"
After stretching a long stretch, Han Mo said with a smile.
"Master, that, that, can't I not write it a hundred times?"
Seeing that Han Mo's face finally showed a smile, Jiang Yan quickly asked in a low voice.
"What do you think?"
After showing him a big smile, Han Mo rolled his eyes again.
"Yes!"
Hearing him say that, Jiang Yan resigned himself to his fate and walked out dejectedly.
Compared to writing, he would rather be beaten thirty military rods! Read books.
"Brother Han, save me!"
As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Shaoyou called out for help with a wry smile.
"Brother Shaoyou, you've just been promoted. At this time, why are you crying for help! Aren't you afraid of losing the dignity of an imperial official?"
Hearing him say that, Han Mo couldn't help but laugh.
"How did I get this official position? Don't you know? The first thing I have to do after taking office is to deal with Wang Fu's death. Why am I so unlucky?"
As Zhang Shaoyou said this, he couldn't help but smile wryly.
"Alright, alright, don't complain here. Can this kind of thing stump you? Didn't you do the same thing when you encountered unsolved cases that couldn't be solved before? Just do it again!"
Han Mo sneered at Zhang Shaoyou's complaints.
"But he's a prime minister after all. Is it a bit..."
As Zhang Shaoyou said this, he couldn't help but scratch his head.
As Han Mo said, when they encountered such cases before, they would usually find a scapegoat or simply find another excuse to gloss over the matter and consider it done.
After all, the Kaifeng Prefecture only had so few people, and it was almost impossible to resolve all the cases clearly and thoroughly.
But the person who died this time was Wang Fu!
At this time, with so many people in the court watching, if they really played such a little trick, Zhang Shaoyou would have no confidence at all.
"Why are you getting more and more timid? Look at the entire court, Prime Minister Cai has always hated Wang Fu for not dying. Cai You is already on his way to the front line, the Crown Prince hates Wang Fu to the bone, Prince Yun is busy plotting against the Crown Prince all day, and Wang Fu's subordinates are busy finding their patrons. Tell me, who cares about his life or death at this time?"
Han Mo poured himself a cup of tea and said slowly.
Hearing Han Mo's analysis, Zhang Shaoyou was stunned.
On his way here, he had been thinking about how to solve the case without implicating Han Mo. But after hearing Han Mo's analysis, he suddenly realized that this was not solving a case, but a matter of human relationships and worldly affairs!
"But His Majesty..."
"As long as you handle your side cleanly and don't leave any handles for others, do you think His Majesty will hold onto this small weakness? If he really had this intention, Wang Fu wouldn't have left the capital!"
"It seems to be true..."
Blinking his eyes, Zhang Shaoyou was immediately fooled by Han Mo.
"So, as long as you do things cleanly enough, the rest is not difficult at all!"
Han Mo poured another cup of tea for Zhang Shaoyou and said slowly.
"You mean all the court needs is a result, and no one cares if this result is true or false?"
"That's right. Although I don't like to admit it, that's the reality. This is our Great Song Dynasty!"
As Han Mo said this, a hint of disdain appeared on his lips.
"Hoo--"
"Thank you, Brother Han, for your guidance. By the way, I'm already bothering you for one thing, so why not bother you for another? What about the Daxiangguo Temple..."
"I've already settled things there for you. Anyway, there are only a few days left before the New Year. After the yamen reopens, those monks will naturally move away!"
"Is that true?"
Hearing Han Mo say that, Zhang Shaoyou felt that his happiness had come too suddenly.
These two thorny matters were handled by Han Mo, and it seemed that they were no longer a problem.
This made Zhang Shaoyou's admiration for Han Mo rise to a new level.
"Alright, true or false, don't you know? Do you think I would lie to you? Just do your own thing, and when you have time, go to Daxiangguo Temple for a walk. That way, the people from the Imperial City Department won't say you're not doing your job!"
Raising his cup again and finishing the leftover tea in one gulp, Han Mo said half-jokingly.
"Hearing you say that, I feel reassured. It's just acting, and I'm familiar with that!"
"Brother Shaoyou has just taken office today, and His Majesty is also watching at this time. I won't keep you any longer. After you settle into this position, I'll treat you to a celebratory meal!"
"Thank you, Brother Han. I will never forget this kindness, Master Zhang!"
"Alright, alright, why are you talking about this? I'll still need your help in the future. Don't be annoyed when that time comes!"
