Chapter 398 Jiang Wu

  The famous scholar Qiao Zhuo has lived in seclusion in Xingzilin for many years, and Jiafeng Xingzilin has become a place where people from all over the world yearn. In addition, Mr. Qiao Zhuo is elegant and approachable, and the servants around him even teach the children in the village to read and write. Over time, he is more and more loved by the villagers.

  Mr. Qiao Zhuo is good, and so is his family. Such a good family was killed by someone, not by fire!

  The more the villagers thought about it, the more sympathetic they became.

Shao Mingyuan took a few steps forward, and suddenly gave a deep bow to the villagers: "Fathers and villagers, I think that my husband-in-law's family has always been kind to others, with a clean family style and no competition with the world. Among all of you, he can harm my husband-in-law's family today, and he can kill all of you tomorrow."

   Shao Mingyuan's remarks were powerful and loud, as if a thunderstorm had been thrown into the crowd watching the excitement, and it exploded suddenly.

  The sympathy of the villagers just now turned to panic, and they all took a step back, looking at the people around them vigilantly.

  The magistrate Wang raised his sleeves to wipe off the sweat, and smiled bitterly: "Master Hou, what did you say..."

Shao Mingyuan glanced at the magistrate Wang lightly, and then said: "This remark of this prince is by no means alarmist. Only by finding the murderer as soon as possible can the calamity be completely eliminated. This prince knows that an adult who came from the capital had checked it not long ago. It is a pity that the truth of this case has not been found out, which also shows that the murderer is very cunning, so this Marquis asks all my fathers and villagers to wish me a hand to find the murderer, to help Mr. Qiao’s family get better, so that the wicked can get the punishment they deserve and stop harming others.”

   As soon as these words came out, some bold villagers immediately echoed: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, we will definitely help if there is anything that can be helpful!"

   "Yes, yes, we can't let the murderer do more harm."

"Speaking of which, it was the champion Hou who was so powerful that he came to find out that the Qiao family was killed. The old official who came from the capital checked for a long time, and left without finding anything." I don't know who said in the crowd a sentence.

   Immediately someone reprimanded: "You can't talk about Mr. Guan, you will be arrested and sent to prison."

The county magistrate Wang's face was ashen, and he wiped his sweat again and again: "Master Hou, I have already asked these villagers about the fire at Qiao's house, and I haven't found any useful clues. You see, this is the first thing to do. Let the lower official report it to the prefect, and then re-investigate."

   Previously, the prefect was sent to investigate the case, and it was the prefect who assisted in the investigation together with him. Now it was found out by the champion that the Qiao family was killed, and he must at least be charged with ineffectiveness. This is really a person sitting at home, disaster comes from heaven, and his performance evaluation in the coming year will not be good.

  Shao Mingyuan's expression was solemn: "The investigation of the case is naturally the matter of the government, but as the lord of suffering, I hope to be able to listen in. Can magistrate Wang have any opinion?"

   "The lower officials dare not, the lower officials dare not."

  Shao Mingyuan's expression softened a little: "It is better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Let's start the investigation from now on. I suggest to ask the people of Baiyun Village one by one to see if they can find any clues."

   "Now?" Magistrate Wang looked surprised.

"how?"

"Master Hou, you can see that the sun is going down now, even if we re-investigate the Qiao family fire case, we will have to wait until tomorrow. Besides, Xiaguan has only brought a few people here this time, even if he wants to investigate the case, he will have to wait until tomorrow. not enough-"

   Shao Mingyuan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, sighing, "Since this is the case, then I should ask the people of Baiyun Village to find out about the situation."

  The magistrate of Wang couldn't stop him any longer, so he had to remind him: "Master Hou, the imperial envoy has already asked these villagers before, but he really didn't find any clues."

  Shao Mingyuan sank his face and said lightly: "Oh, the imperial commissioner didn't seem to find out that the Qiao family was burned after death. Magistrate Wang, do you think so?"

   Wang County Magistrate was horrified by the question, and nodded with a dry smile.

   Jiang Wu under the tree pulled the corner of his mouth and whispered, "I didn't expect that the rumored cold-faced Yama-like champion would have such a good eloquence."

  's remarks not only aroused the enthusiasm of Baiyun villagers to assist in the investigation, but also forced the Jiafeng County magistrate to allow him to intervene, and even start the investigation first.

   There is no easy way for someone who can get to where he is today.

  Jiang walked towards Shao Mingyuan in five big steps.

   Shao Mingyuan seemed to have a feeling and turned to look.

  Jiang Wu stood not far away, clasped his fists and said, "Master Hou."

  Shao Mingyuan took a quick look at the person who came, looking at his demeanor, he knew the identity of the person in his heart, but he asked quietly, "Brother is—"

   Before Jiang Wu could open his mouth, Magistrate Wang had already greeted him, "Master Wu, why are you here?"

  Yang Houcheng quietly touched Chi Can's arm: "Well, it's Jinlinwei again."

  Chi Can stared at Jiang Wu, frowning: "This Jiang Wu is not a good person, he is even more annoying than that Jiang Shisan."

  Yang Houcheng smiled and said, "Jin Linwei is not very popular. Anyway, if he wants to meddle in his own business, we are not vegetarians."

   "Yeah, some things are inconvenient to do as Tingquan, we don't care." Chi Can murmured.

He looked coldly at the person not far away. The girl who had not grown up was much shorter than the man beside her, so he couldn't help thinking: In terms of height, he was obviously a better match with Li San, and his eyesight was so poor. Stupid girl not worth mentioning.

   "Let's go." Putting these words down, Chi Can walked towards Shao Mingyuan.

  Jiang Wu turned to look at Chi Can and the two who were approaching, and said with a smile: "Child Master Chi, Yang Shizi."

   Although he was smiling, he didn't feel like a spring breeze like Jiang Yuanchao's, but felt a chill in his heart.

   Shao Mingyuan gave Jiang Wu a deep look.

   It turns out that he is Jiang Wu.

   After returning to Beijing from Beidi, because Zhaozhao was kidnapped by the Tartars, he sent Shao Liang to Beiding City early to investigate. Although the current investigation is a little slow, he discovered an interesting thing.

   This Fifth Master Jiang, like his traitor Su Luofeng, is the benefactor of Yingying, a brothel woman in Beiding City.

   Shao Mingyuan didn't think much about this discovery.

As a person who can be counted among the Jinlin Guards, he has a close relationship with a brothel woman. Rather than convincing him that this is just a coincidence, he prefers to believe that Jiang Wu secretly communicated with Su Luofeng through the brothel woman, and even... that brothel A woman is not necessarily the eyeliner of Jinlinwei.

   If so, then Su Luofeng's mutiny was planned by Jinlinwei. And the only one who can command the Jinlin Guards—

   Shao Mingyuan didn't want to think about it any further, but he understood that the truth must be figured out.

   He decided to explore the reality of the person in front of him.

   "Since Mr. Jiang is here, let's have a cup of tea at the place where you left. After all, this is not the place to talk."

  Jiang Wu bowed slightly: "Then thank you, Lord Hou."

   Seventeenth more. For this update, I would like to thank the Heshi Bi for the NMPP reward in January.
