Chapter 287: Shuntian Prefecture Yin

“Fifteen steps and one post, surround the high walls of Ning and Rong Prefectures to prevent assassins from climbing over the walls and escaping.”

Arrive On Ningrong Street, after Jia Lian issued the blockade order, he led people to the main entrance of Ningguo Mansion.

Just as Zhaoer and other young men came over, including several of Jia Lian's resting bodyguards, including Aqi.

She was still dressed as usual, looking capable and neat, and came to Jia Lian's side very calmly.

Jia Lian glanced at her, and she only nodded to Jia Lian.

Lai Sheng, the general manager of Ningguo Mansion, had already sent people to beat the yamen drum of Shuntian Mansion. At this time, a group of Ningguo Mansion's slaves were wandering around in the courtyard like headless flies.

Hearing Jia Lian coming with his troops, he seemed to have found a savior. He rushed out to welcome him and shouted: "Second Master, you are finally here. You must make the decision for our uncle. Our uncle, he, Went..."

Jia Lian looked stern. After nodding, he said to the people behind him: "Zhang Sheng, Aqi, and Zhaoer are coming in with me. The others are waiting where they are without my instructions. , no trespassing."

After saying that, he led the three people into Ningguo Mansion.

The Ningguo Mansion was indeed a mess, with panic and fear on everyone's face.

Lai Sheng trotted and led Jia Lian to Ning Xuantang, where Youshi, Qinshi and Jia Rong also came out to welcome him.

Of course, one of their faces was more frightened than the other, and one was crying more sadly and desperately than the other.

Jia Rong even knelt down in front of Jia Lian with a bang and cried out sadly: "Please make the decision, my father. My father died miserably. Please help us find the murderer." Make the decision for us."

Jia Rong cried with snot and tears, and now he finally had the image of a filial son.

Jia Lian also looked sad. He helped Jia Rong up, comforted him, and then asked Youshi: "What happened?

" Youshi wiped away her tears and said: "Returning to the second uncle, we don't know what happened. It was discovered by the women who were responsible for the night watch. They said that when they were passing by Tianxiang Tower, they heard something moving inside, so they went to look for it. Unexpectedly, it was... The body of your brother Zhen was found!

After our brief inspection, we determined that your brother Zhen fell from the main floor of Tianxiang Building, the third floor..."

Jia Lian immediately asked: "Okay. , how could you fall from the third floor? ? "

Jia Rong on the side quickly said: "My father didn't fall to death, someone assassinated him. Although his body was broken, Lai Sheng and I just inspected it.There is a big hole in my father's chest, as if he had been stabbed by a knife. Oooh, my father is so miserable..."

When Jia Rong cried, Mrs. Qin was also wiping her tears beside her. , but when she accidentally looked at Jia Lian, she still couldn't help but feel a touch of shock, but being smart, she quickly chose to lower her head and sob silently.

Without much gossip, Jia Lian walked into the hall. At this time, Jia Zhen's body had been wrapped in white cloth and carried here.

Similar to Jia She back then, a group of warblers and swallows knelt on the ground, crying one by one. That's sad.

Jia Lian frowned, and Youshi, who was accustomed to watching people's words and emotions, immediately stepped forward and drove aside these women who affected his mood.

Jia Lian then He stepped forward, lifted up the white cloth and took a look. Sure enough, it was a bit bloody and horrible. Apparently Youshi and others were afraid of destroying the body and affecting the subsequent investigation, so they did not choose to clean it up.

Of course, this A bloody scene would naturally not have any impact on Jia Lian. He briefly inspected Jia Zhen's situation, and after confirming that it was not much different from what Jia Rong said, he stood up and said seriously: "I have sent troops to guard the high walls of the two mansions. They were surrounded, and as long as the assassins were still in the two mansions, they would definitely not be able to escape.

The top priority is to go to the Yamen as soon as possible to ask for a skilled police officer to come and verify the cause of Brother Zhen's death, so as to find the real culprit. ”

Jia Lian’s calm and methodical words made the confused Youshi and others suddenly feel like they had a backbone. They nodded quickly and said that they had sent someone to invite the widower.
< br /> After a while, Jia Zheng and his peers and elders from the Jia family who lived nearby also came one after another.

After verifying the bad news, they all cried and lamented. So, inside the Ningguo Mansion, , the cries became louder and louder.

…

Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion also learned of this shocking news for the first time.

Just because They were all ready to rest, so they moved slowly and arrived even later than Jia Lian who "happened" to lead troops on patrol.

Of course, Jia Mu and others from Rongguo Mansion could only rush over. Add a few people to express shock and cry. As for the slaves, they can only quietly be shocked and talk about it.

At the back office of Shuntian Mansion, Master Fu Yin has already hugged his concubine and is getting ready. When I fell asleep, I was disturbed by my servants, which made me very unhappy.

"I didn't say that after Youzheng, no matter what happens, I will report it tomorrow. "

"Sir, it's a big deal..."

"Huh, a big deal? In this huge capital city, if two major events don't happen one day, it will disturb me, so I won't have to sleep! ”

"Master, this is Ning Guo Mansion. Jia Zhen, the third-rank general of Ning Guo Mansion, is dead."

"Dead?"

Mansion Yin Weng Zi diligently sat up.

As a parent official in the capital, he naturally knew about Ningguo Mansion, and he also knew Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion.

Didn’t really care much. After all, although Jia Zhen is the heir to the Duke’s Palace, she is not really a powerful figure in the capital. Even if she has the legacy of her ancestors, her rank is no more than his. Same.

　“How did you die?”

“I don’t know, but I said earlier that it seemed that someone was assassinating me. Their family members came to report the case and asked the master to send someone to investigate the case. They make the decision." The Weng family servant outside the door replied.

Hearing that he had been assassinated, Weng Ziqin felt a lot more solemn.

I thought, although this Jia Zhen is nothing, the Jia family cannot underestimate her.

A dead camel is bigger than a horse. Moreover, now that the Jia family has a noble concubine, it is the most glorious time.

If you can take the opportunity to make good friends with the Jia family, it will naturally be beneficial to your career.

Moreover, if such a major case occurs under his jurisdiction, it will also have a negative impact on him if it gets bigger. On the other hand, if the case can be solved in his hands, it will be a good political achievement for him.

After thinking about it, Weng Ziqin packed up and came out. While summoning the people to handle the case, he sent someone to the Ministry of Punishment to report.

Although Shuntian Mansion is a parent’s government office, it has to manage everything logically. But the capital city is too big after all, and there are too many powerful people.

They are not qualified to handle many cases.

Therefore, Shuntian Mansion is actually in charge of "people's livelihood".

He is in charge of matters related to the common people. Murder cases like this involving noble families are usually handled by the Ministry of Punishment.

After all, the Criminal Department is much more powerful than Shuntian Mansion.

When Weng Ziqin brought people here, Jia Lian was discussing with Jia Zheng and others in the front hall how to find the murderer.

When they heard that Fu Yin was coming in person, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian hurriedly came out to welcome him.

"I have family affairs in my house, and my dear relatives are here, so Jia Zheng expresses my gratitude to everyone in my house."

When they meet, Jia Zheng is accustomed to being polite and courteous.

Although being a governor in the capital is considered by many people to be an aggrieved job, because there are many yamen at the top and there are many powerful people who cannot afford to offend.

But after all, Shuntian Prefecture is the number one prefect in the world, with great authority and respected status, so Jia Zheng's politeness is completely reasonable.

After all, background aside, Jia Zheng is several levels shorter than others!

"Haha, Mr. Zheng is too polite. This is my official responsibility, so I dare not thank you."

Weng Ziqin responded politely and gave instructions to the accompanying men. Started working, then Fang Xiao looked at Jia Lian: "When I came here just now, I saw that the streets here were under martial law. I guess this must be General Jia's masterpiece?"

Jia Lian nodded, "Tonight I will The general led his officers and soldiers to patrol the city and heard about what happened at home. This action was just to prevent the murderer from escaping in the chaos. When Master Weng asked this, did he think that the general was making a fuss out of a molehill?"

"Hahaha , somewhere, General Jia misunderstood.

The official just felt that with the support of General Jia and many officers and soldiers of the Military and Horse Division, if the murderer was still in the house, he would be unable to escape.

In this way, the official will be more confident in solving the case."

Weng Ziqin said very humbly. Although he felt that the battle here was too big, he was just amazed at the power of the Duke's Mansion.

Good boy, he felt that he came quickly enough. Who knew that they were already well prepared here. It seems that even if Shuntian Mansion doesn't care about this matter, Jia Mansion can solve it by itself!

As for Jia Lian making a fuss out of a molehill, using public tools for personal use, overstepping his authority, etc., he had absolutely no intention of doing so.

The Bingma Division is as famous as the Shuntian Prefecture and has the same reason for being criticized, which is that it is too lenient. Moreover, the powers of Shuntian Prefecture and the five military bureaucracies had serious overlap.

The Military and Horse Division is also responsible for investigating thieves within its jurisdiction, so it is reasonable, reasonable and legal for Jia Lian to launch such a large array to search for the murderers who assassinated his family!

He sincerely felt that it would be easier to solve the case with Jia Lian's help.

When Jia Lian saw Weng Ziqin facing him, he took the initiative to demote himself from "the official" to "the lower official". Because his family was killed, his harsh tone softened a little, and said: "Master Weng is polite. .

I never expected that there would be such a bold and reckless thief in the capital, at the feet of the emperor!

Therefore, it is necessary to find out the murderer and bring him to justice Law.

I have ordered my officers and soldiers to surround the two adjacent Duke’s mansions, and ordered the servants of the two mansions to light lanterns in all areas of the two mansions, and then the three of them will team to carry out a carpet-like search.

And all the concierges and all suspicious personnel have been arrested and prepared to be tortured.

Presumably, soon There will be results.”

When Weng Ziqin heard this, his eyes lit up. In this way, even if the murderer escaped quickly, he would escape before Jia Lian led his troops.

But with Jia Lian’s careful plan, he will soon find out who the murderer is, and the rest is just a pursuit.

It seems that tonight’s trip is the right one. I believe that he can get the credit for it without having to worry too much.

So Weng Ziqin became more and more polite to Jia Lian, chatting with each other, and came to the place where Jia Zhen's body was parked.

Jia Mu and other people who were of no use in solving the case have been waiting elsewhere under the arrangements of Youshi and others.

In the entire Ning Xuantang, the only ones who could move freely were Jia Lian’s men. At this time, no one except Jia Lian's people dared to walk around randomly, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be suspected by the second master Lian's people, and they would be arrested and suffer.

Although it is the third chapter, I dare not say it is an additional chapter...
