I would lean toward handing the guy over to breland, waiting for them to prove that they either were going to deal with the problem in a satisfactory manner or further action against the man was required. The reason that I would do this is because I would consider it not paladinly behavior to use the party to get what you want and then deny them the reward. As a DM I would require you to attone and show remorse for this action to continue being a paladin. In effect I think your King sent a square peg to fill a round hole here. One of his more roguish agents would have been better siuted to the task as this task involves lying (to the party), cheating (the nation of Breland out of it's right to self governance), and stealing (the reward from the party though you do not profit from it) none of which are within the realm of a paladin's acceptable behavior. With that said I have a few other comments. You mentioned that if the man was handed over to the lawmen of Breland he might not be punished. Is it that you lack enough evidence to persuade them of his guilt or that you believe them to be corrupt? If you believe them to be corrupt, do all you can to see that he is punished, a corrupt authority is not one that a paladin must respect. If your evidence is lacking, why are you doing this?</blockquote>
