The Prince and the Demon Monk [Rebirth]

By the time it was finally bandaged, the sky had already darkened.

Liang Cheng wrote a letter and asked Yi Nian to take it to Cheng Shun, the housekeeper in the private house in Jinli Lane, and told him to pay more attention.

There were many nobles living in Jinli Lane, and they were under the eyes of the emperor, so the other party would not dare to make too much noise, but just in case, Liang Cheng asked Cheng Shun to send more guards.

With a wound in his body, he couldn't drink the peach blossom wine. In fact, he wanted to say that a little injury would not be a problem, but seeing Liang Cheng's persistent eyes, he had no choice but to give up. What a pity...

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for some people.

When Yao Zhengkun, governor of the Jingzhao Prefecture, received such a difficult case, he felt that his official career had come to an end, and even if he was not careful, his wealth and life would be lost.

Just as he was pacing back and forth, not knowing what to do, the concierge came to report that there were internal thieves in Anguo Gong's mansion who had stolen the warehouse, including the mold of Jiang's family emblem and red stone stones.

This red gold stone is not a natural ore, but made by Jiang's family pouring special materials into copper, which is specially used for engraving family emblems.

The person who stole the moulds was Lai Man, a servant in charge of the warehouse. Yao Zhengkun slapped the tree in shock, and as soon as the words "fifty big boards" fell, Lai Man fell to the ground and wailed, "My lord, please forgive me, little one! Wrong, little plead guilty."

"Say, why did you steal the mold and red gold stone of Jiang's family emblem?"

Yao Zhengkun's tone was majestic, but he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Zeyu, the third son of An Guogong who was sitting in the hall, and at the subordinates sent by the Master of the State Normal University. In all likelihood, the human assassin was the dead man raised by the Jiang family. The second prince didn't expect the assassination to fail, so he quickly found a scapegoat so that he could be picked out.

Yao Zhengkun managed to get away with countless connections years ago, so he became an official in Beijing. Although the governor of Jingzhao Mansion is a thankless official position, it is much better than being a local official in a poor country. At least there is plenty of money. The sons of high-ranking officials and nobles are bound to cause trouble, and only rely on a government official with a wink like him to return home to continue doing evil. The nobles also love his knowledge of current affairs, and leak a drop or two from between their fingers Oil and water are enough for him to open for a year.

Therefore, although the governor of Jingzhao Mansion has no real power in Beijing and can't control it, he is nourishing enough anyway.

It's just that if there is a battle for succession, ten lives are not enough for him to play. Right now, he'd better "handle it impartially" and try the prisoners in the court. Whatever the result is, that's the result. If the power wants to make a fuss about this and participate in the presence of His Majesty, this is out of his control. At that time, the uncle of the Ministry of Punishment will come to pick up this hot potato.

After thinking about the way to retreat, Yao Zhengkun couldn't help but stroked the beautiful beards under his jaw triumphantly.

Lai Man in the hall howled like pouring beans: "Young one has a habit of gambling two times on weekdays. I drank a few extra bowls of yellow soup that day, but in the end I lost all my wealth and owed a whole lot of debts. Just like my little one When I was desperate, someone told me that there was a deal for me to do, as long as I stole the emblem-making mold and the red gold stone from An Guogong's mansion, I would pay off all my debts. .”

"Bold and vicious servant who stole the master's property privately, he will be sent to Minzhou for the crime." Yao Zhengkun turned to Jiang Zeyu, who was drinking tea slowly, and said with a smile, "I don't know what the third son Jiang thinks?"

Jiang Zeyu gracefully and calmly put down the teacup in his hand, raised his eyelids, and lazily said: "Since the criminal servant has pleaded guilty, then he will be dealt with according to Daqi's law, but the person behind this scene seems to be someone else, Yaofu Yin still has to Check it out carefully, otherwise, how can you explain to the Master of the State Teacher, so as to return my Jiang family's innocence."

"Naturally, naturally." Yao Zhengkun nodded repeatedly, then looked at Lai Man again, and asked sharply, "Do you know who that person is?"

"The little one doesn't know anything, not even his last name."

"This..." Yao Zhengkun looked at Ganzhou, who had been silent all this time, with a look of embarrassment, and said, "It seems that the people behind this scene are quite hidden."

Ganzhou bowed and saluted: "My lord, the Master of the National Teacher was stabbed and injured. He is recuperating in the suburbs of Beijing at this time. It is inconvenient to confront the prisoner in court. However, the grassroots dare not go back and report the result. Please allow Caomin to ask a question." .”

"Okay, okay, you are someone sent by the National Teacher, and I think I have a lot of trust in you."

Ganzhou curled his lips in his heart, he was not accepted by the national teacher, he didn't show anything on his face, he turned to look at Lai Man: "Which company did you gamble with, and on which day did you lose money?"

Lai Man met Gan Zhou's clear eyes and trembled all over. He looked away, licked his lips, and said, "The small, small one was bet four days ago, at Yunlaifang in Bajing Lane, Xicheng."

Ganzhou: "When and where did that person do business with you, and what does he look like?"

Lai Man: "As soon as I left the casino, that man came to me. It was already night time, and I couldn't see clearly. I just remembered a man in his thirties, wearing black clothes. Oh, yes, The shoes are embroidered with patterns of pine cranes and clouds, and they are bordered by silver thread. When I was young, I thought, these shoes alone are enough for me to pay off my debt..."

"After you promised him, when did you steal the property?"

"On the second night, I will start..."

After Ganzhou asked about this, he turned around and bowed to Third Young Master Jiang, saying: "I don't understand something, I wonder if Third Young Master Jiang is willing to clear up his doubts?"

Jiang Zeyu raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said generously, "If you have any questions, just ask."

"The third son Jiang is enlightened," Ganzhou praised lightly, looked at Jiang Zeyu with a clear gaze, and said: "The family emblem is very important, this criminal servant said that he had stolen it three days ago, why did your mansion wait until today?" To sue the officer?"

After finishing speaking, Ganzhou stared at Jiang Zeyu closely, not to miss the slightest change in the other party's expression. However, the Jiang family seemed to be innocently affected, and Jiang Zeyu's expression and movements were all right. He first showed a little displeasure, then suppressed it again Going back, he put on a mocking smile that was not a smile, which is exactly the behavior of a nobleman after being offended.

"Why, Master Guoshi, don't you suspect that it was my An Guogong's mansion who did it?"

"Don't dare," Ganzhou was not caught by the other party's aura, and said with a straight look: "It is precisely because I believe in the background of the Jiang family that I asked straightforwardly, so as not to cause misunderstandings in the future, and let those villains get away with it for nothing. There is a loophole."

Jiang Zeyu snorted coldly, put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, and said: "You have such a sharp mouth, no wonder the Master of the State Teacher only sent you a young man, but don't think that your master has some Well, I thought a dog could bark at a nobleman."

Ganzhou is young after all, although he has some experience, but he has not reached the level of not showing his anger and anger, his face turns green when he hears this.

Seeing his humiliated expression, Jiang Zeyu said leisurely: "Forget it, my son, why bother with a lowly slave, tell your master that my family has gone up to the mountain to worship the Buddha in the past few days, so I have followed the way of a family thief. If your lord doesn't believe me, you can join His Majesty."

Ganzhou forced a smile and said, "Master Jiang is joking."

In the end, Lai Man was taken into prison, and three days later he was assassinated in Minzhou. The people of Minzhou are tough and poisonous all the year round. When ordinary people go there, there is no possibility of survival. Lai Man only regrets that he is really obsessed with ghosts. too late.

But he is just an insignificant pawn in this treacherous puzzle.
