Xu Jian's eyes widened and she said in shock: "Didn't he say why?"
"This is what I want to ask you, what happened, you are all so mysterious?" Catherine asked seriously: "I think it's not a small matter!"
"Of course it's not small!" Xu Jian's eyebrows flashed with a hint of joy, and then she turned to frown: "It's a good thing, a great thing. His Highness King Xin has become our new emperor. Isn't this a big deal?"
"So, he hurried back to the capital just for the new emperor's ascension to the throne!" Catherine was stunned, and immediately became happy: "If this is the case, it is really a good thing!"
She patted her chest: "Well, if that's the case, I won't worry anymore!"
"Well, if that's the case, Mr. Jiang should be in the palace at this time, by His Majesty's side!" Xu Jian was slightly disappointed. He claimed to be a member of Tingyu Tower. He actually did such a big thing of support.
I couldn't participate because I was really confused.
"You should stop running around these days and stay in the Ministry of Rites honestly. If Mr. Ruo Jiang is really with your majesty, he will naturally come to you after everything has settled!" Xu Jian sighed: "I will send a few
I will take you back personally, and if there is any news about Mr. Jiang, I will send you a message!"
"Thank you then, you are such a good person!" Catherine left relaxedly.
Xu Jian sighed and looked around at the empty restaurants. Although he felt a little relieved after receiving the news about Jiang Wan, Xu Bai was still missing.
However, after all, my mood has been so depressed in the past two days. No matter which yamen captured Xu Bai, it is estimated that in the end, people can still be rescued, but Xu Bai may suffer some hardships.
This is not nothing. Now King Xin has become the emperor and the emperor of the day. He has suffered a little loss, but there are many opportunities to get it back, so he is not afraid at all.
As for whether he would be killed, he estimated that this possibility was unlikely. At least, his Xu family brothers had never provoked such a deeply hated enemy.
"Boss, will Shopkeeper Xu be invited into the palace?"
A brother next to him suddenly said: "I'm thinking that your Majesty also needs to eat! Our craftsmanship at Qingyun Tower is no worse than that of the Imperial Kitchen!"
Xu Jian's heart moved. Not to mention, if Jiang Wan had not come back, this matter would definitely not be possible. However, if Jiang Wan came back, given the friendship between Jiang Wan and her elder brother, it might be somewhat possible.
"The food your Majesty eats are all delicacies from the mountains and seas. How can your Majesty appreciate my elder brother's skills?"
"It's the same thing whether you like him or not. The key is that Brother Xu is reliable!" The more the brother thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case: "We have inquired about so many yamen, who doesn't know who Mr. Xu is?
Your brother, there must be a reason for taking people without saying a word. Nowadays, it is said that there is no such thing. In this huge city of Beijing, the only place where we really can’t find out is inside the palace!"
"Okay!" Xu Jian nodded, "Don't talk about this matter. Have you rested? After resting, let's go out for inspection again!"
Anyway, he had made up his mind that it was impossible to enter the palace. However, he had to find a way to get out of Zhouzhuang no matter what. He was a member of Tingyulou, and Li Fuyao knew this.
clearly.
…
When it got dark, the two cases in the Internal Affairs Prison and the Shangshang Prison came to light.
In the Inner Prison, the last few people who had contact with the deceased confessed that two of them had a grudge against the deceased. Moreover, Su Yue directly arrested these two people who had been to the Inner Prison recently.
When they got up, it was said that one of them cooperated honestly, while the other violently resisted.
Then Su Yue felt embarrassed and killed him on the spot as ordered by Jiang Wan.
The one who was arrested was locked in the room, that is, when he came out to report the results to Jiang Wan, when he looked back, he had already hanged himself.
There is no doubt that in Jiang Wan's opinion, this case is closed. As for the identities, origins, and real motives of the two men, they can be left to be investigated later.
In fact, Jiang Wan knew in her heart that even if she wanted to investigate, she would only wait until Wei Zhongxian was overthrown. Whether these two people were the real murderers or not, it didn't matter. Anyway, whether they resisted arrest or committed suicide
, they will definitely not be on Zhu Youjian’s side.
On the other hand, in the case of Shangshan Prison, Wang Desheng made a selection according to his standards and selected more than sixty people who were tall and powerful in Shangshan Prison. Then, under Jiang Wan's order, these more than sixty people were selected.
Among them, more than three people who proved their whereabouts on the night of the incident were excluded again.
Among the remaining more than 20 people, more than ten people who were not qualified to approach the deceased's residence were expelled. There were already less than ten people left.
At this point, there is no need to investigate one by one. Jiang Wan directly sent someone to interrogate Wang Deqiang. Although it is estimated that each of these people will cry out for injustice, Jiang Wan believes that there will always be people who cannot resist under the three trees.
If there really is a person who can't bear it, then the murderer will be this guy who can't bear it.
"Do you think I'm a bit indifferent to human life?"
There seemed to be a trace of hesitation on Wang Desheng's face. Jiang Wan turned around and asked calmly.
"My subordinate just feels that if he is the real murderer, he should be able to withstand these tortures!" He thought for a moment and added: "At least he can withstand it longer than those who are not murderers!"
"There is a high probability that the murderer is one of these people, right?" Jiang Wan asked.
"Yes!" Wang Desheng replied: "However, it is not 100% certain that the murderer is among these people. As the gentleman said, there is a high probability that he is among these people!"
"Then, let's just torture him!" Jiang Wan shook his head: "If you're lucky, the murderer will be tortured out. If you're not lucky, it's just like killing a chicken to frighten the monkey. Those who can't stand the torture and confess themselves will die.
There’s no pity!”
Wang Desheng hurried away, and Jiang Wan sighed and sat down again.
He didn't want to be a cruel official, and he didn't want to be so careless about human life, but it didn't make much sense to dwell on these details when he already knew who was behind it.
It has been almost a day since the case occurred. If the response is not quick enough and the attack is not ruthless enough, it will only make Wei Zhongxian behind the scenes feel that he is not capable of handling such a matter, which will only increase his arrogance.
If he really feels this way, more people will die in the palace by then.
It even made him feel that it would be even more troublesome to put pressure on Zhu Youjian in this way. He had to tell Wei Zhongxian as quickly as possible and with the fastest and most ruthless means that this method was useless.
As long as you dare to kill others, I will investigate, arrest, and unjustly kill a few of your people.
After all, Zhu Youjian's foundation in the palace and Wei Zhongxian's foundation are completely on two levels at this time. No matter how he is killed, Zhu Youjian's side will not suffer much loss.
