Reborn Emperor's House

When the two met in the hallway of the mansion that day, Jiang Lou smiled awkwardly and thanked him first, "That day... I lost my composure, thank you Mr. Tang for taking care of me."

"It's all right, Lord Jiang doesn't mind."

"I don't know that day, what kind of disrespectful behavior did the subordinate do?"

Tang Yan thought about it, and apart from crying and wet the front and sleeves of his clothes, there was nothing rude about it.

"Hey, don't worry about it, my lord. A man doesn't flick his tears easily, just because he hasn't reached the place where he is sad."

"I... I cried?"

"Ah, actually, just, just cried for a while..."

"..." Jiang Lou blushed, embarrassed and at a loss.

Fortunately, at this time, someone came to report that the prince was going to the outer suburbs, and he asked Jiang Lou to accompany him.

Tang Yan, as the leader of the imperial guards, guarded the prince's safety, so of course he accompanied him, but the two went to see the prince together.On the way there, Jiang Lou remained silent in embarrassment, and Tang Yan couldn't find anything to say...

The group arrived in the outer suburbs, and Jiang Lou took them to the place where the body was found.

Tang Jingyu looked around, "It's deserted."

"Well, it's indeed a good place to throw corpses away..." Tang Mu said grimly.

"...Mu'er, don't talk nonsense." Tang Jingyu looked helplessly at the people who followed her, and there were a few who shivered, and their hands seemed to be shaking a little.

Tang Mu smiled badly, "I heard that this kind of place, at night..."

"Mu'er." Tang Jingyu said helplessly.

Tang Mu shrugged his shoulders, okay, okay, let's not talk.

"Look around here." Tang Jingyu ordered, and everyone dispersed.

"Tell me, this person is completely unrecognizable, what could have caused it?" No one else around Tang Mu and Tang Jingyu murmured.

"Well... If it was a direct death, it should be a knife and ax or something, but he was holding salt in his hand, so he must have been attacked several times before he died. In this way, the situation at that time may have happened suddenly."

"Then... tell me, the murderer is here, is he throwing his body or killing him?"

"This... If you throw the corpse, that means..."

"It means that the murderer also suddenly found out that he was being investigated, and he killed and silenced him in a hurry. The preparations were not thorough, so the body was not buried, and it was directly thrown here."

"Jiang Lou said that there was more than one person he sent out. The others were all alive and dead, and only this person had a dead body."

"Let's guess the situation at the time. If this person was very smart, his companions were exposed, but he didn't. He also found clues, and he might even go to a den selling illegal salt. But he was discovered in the end, and the murderer was eager to kill him, so he didn't I didn’t have time to use a knife or something, so I probably picked up a stick or something close at hand, and because of time constraints, I had to throw the corpse.”

"If time is tight, you can't go too far to throw the corpse... In other words, the private salt den is probably nearby."

"What do you think will make them pressed for time?"

"They know that someone is investigating this matter. Although they can destroy the corpse, they still have to move the place, or..."

"Or hide it. Such a large pile of private salt may be difficult to transfer, but it can be hidden."

"Correct."

Tang Mu suddenly felt that why did he join gangsters in his previous life!You should be a police officer!This brain is so easy to use!

"If this is the case, we can't conduct a search with great fanfare, take people back, and then let Qi San and the others come. They are more suitable for this kind of thing." Tang Jingyu said softly to Tang Mu.

"okay."

Tang Jingyu took people back and ordered Qi San and the others to investigate secretly.

the capital.Xu Ji Restaurant.

"What's the matter with you recently?" Ren Zishan looked at the shopkeeper's slightly blue eyes, and couldn't help asking.

"I always feel that something is wrong...but I just can't explain it clearly."

"Don't think about it..."

"It's been a few days? Is there any movement in the palace?"

"There is nothing in the palace...that is, the Jiang family seems to be abandoning Jiang Lou."

"I guessed it. Jiang Lan only has this trick, but I always feel that the problem is not with the queen or the Jiang family, nor does it seem to be with the third prince."

"Huh? That's the emperor? As long as the crown prince doesn't favor the Jiang family, the emperor will be all right... However, our crown prince is now helping Jiang Lou to reverse the case. Is this a risky thing?"

"It's not all about the emperor, the prince this time... well, I have to think about it again. You have the people in the palace watching closely." The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and rubbed his temple.

"Okay, okay, don't worry." Ren Zishan looked at the shopkeeper's uneasy brows, and made a good note for the prince in his heart. The shopkeeper is so sad. When you come back, let's see how I torment you.

On the other side, in Nancheng.

Qi San arranged for someone to quickly touch that piece of toilet in one day.

Sure enough, there were traces of fire in an unremarkable abandoned cave in the outer suburbs. It seemed that their guess was correct.

Qi San also brought back a useful piece of news. There are several villages in the outer suburbs. The villages are relatively remote and not easy to find.

Qi San has ordered someone to watch over there.

"Mu'er, I think there must be something wrong with these villages. It's just that our teachers are unknown, so it's not easy to investigate."

"Well... that's true. After all, we, eh? What was the prefect's crime before?"

"Occupying land, disregarding human life..."

"Where does he occupy?"

"The fertile land of the family that filed the imperial petition...you mean?"

"That's right! Our imperial envoy was very angry when he learned of this. In order to plead for the people and thoroughly investigate the grievances, all villages in Nancheng will be investigated to see if the magistrate has occupied land elsewhere!"

"Haha, okay, let's do it like this, check it now, check it right away."

Tang Jingyu sent out the imperial guards, and at the same time, he also sent out the county government servants, and all the available people were sent out to check these villages overnight.

And secretly conveyed orders to the imperial guards, asking them to mainly check whether there are secret passages, secret cabinets in the village, or whether there is salt hidden in the baggage.

Anyone who finds out that there is a lot of salt will be arrested.

A sleepless night, the harvest is not small.

More than a dozen farmers were found to have private salt hidden in their homes. Of course, Tang Jingyu knew that these were small fish and shrimps, but at least there were clues.

Bringing everyone back, Tang Jingyu, Tang Yan, and Jiang Lou were interrogated overnight.

But the people who were full of expectations, in the end, only found out that they received the order to hide their private salt, and when the news passed, someone would come to them, and their superiors were all missing, and they were also ignorant of other things. I don't know.

The people who thought they had hope were hit again.

The people who are arrested now can at best be sentenced to selling illegal salt, even if they are all beheaded, they will not be able to find anyone who is more advanced.

This is useless to Jiang Lou, he is still the magistrate who caressing about human life.

This case is still unsolved.
