"Fifteen steps and one post, surround the high walls of both Ning and Rong mansions to prevent assassins from escaping over the walls."
When they arrived at Ningrong Street, Jia Lian issued the blockade order and then led people to the main entrance of Ningguo Mansion.
Just then, Zhaoer and other young men rushed 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 just 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 servants from Ningguo Mansion were wandering around in the courtyard like headless flies.
When he heard that Jia Lian was 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 has gone..."
Jia Lian looked stern. After nodding, he said to the people behind him: "Zhang Sheng, Aqi, and Zhao'er are coming in with me. The others will stay where they are. They are not allowed to trespass without my instructions."
After saying that, he led the three people into Ningguo Mansion.
As expected, Ningguo Mansion was in chaos, with panic and fear on everyone's face.
Lai Sheng trotted and led Jia Lian to Ning Xuantang, where Youshi, Qinshi, and Jia Rong all came out to welcome him.
Their expressions were naturally more frightened than the other, and they were crying more sadly and despairingly than the other.
Jia Rong even knelt down in front of Jia Lian with a bang, and cried out sadly: "Please make the decision for my second uncle. My father, my father died miserably. Please help us find the murderer and make the decision for us."
Jia Rong cried with snot and tears. At this moment, he finally had the image of a filial son.
Jia Lian also looked sad, helped Jia Rong up, comforted him, and then asked Youshi: "What's going on?
Youshi wiped away her tears and said: "Returning to the second uncle, we don't know what happened. The women who were responsible for watching the night discovered it. They said that when they were passing by Tianxiang Tower, they heard something moving inside and looked for it.
I touched it and unexpectedly found the body of your brother Zhen!
After our brief inspection, we determined that 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 said hurriedly: "My father didn't fall to death, he was assassinated. Although his body was broken, Lai Sheng and I just checked and found that there was a big hole in my father's chest, as if he had been stabbed by a knife.
It's been a long time, oh oh oh, my father is so miserable..."
When Jia Rong was crying, Mrs. Qin was also wiping her tears beside her. However, when she happened to look at Jia Lian, she still couldn't help but feel a touch of shock. However, being smart, she quickly chose to lower her head and sob silently.
Without much chatter, 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, each one crying and the other sadly.
Jia Lian frowned, and Youshi, who was accustomed to observing words and expressions, immediately stepped forward and drove aside these women who were affecting his mood.
Jia Lian then 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 bloody scene would not have any impact on Jia Lian. He briefly checked 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 attack the two mansions.
They were surrounded by high walls. As long as the assassins were still in the two mansions, they would not be able to escape.
The most urgent task is to go to the Yamen as soon as possible and ask Gao Ming to come over to verify the cause of Brother Zhen's death, so that we can 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 widow to do the work.
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, everyone burst into tears and screams. As a result, the crying in Ningguo Mansion became louder and louder.
…
Everyone in Rongguo Mansion also learned of the shocking news immediately.
Just because they were all ready to rest, they moved slowly and arrived even later than Jia Lian who "happened" to lead troops on patrol.
Of course, Jia Mu and others from the Rongguo Mansion could only rush over and add a few people to express their shock and cry. The slaves, on the other hand, could only quietly express their shock and discuss it.
In the back office of Shuntian Mansion, Mr. Fu Yin had already hugged his concubine and was getting ready to sleep. He was disturbed by his servants and was very unhappy.
"Didn't I say that after Youzheng, no matter what happens, I will report it tomorrow."
"Master, this is a big deal..."
"Hmph, a big event? In this huge capital, if two big events don't happen in one day, they will disturb me, so I won't have to sleep!"
"Sir, this is Ningguo Mansion. Jia Zhen, the third-rank general of Ningguo Mansion, is dead."
"died?"
Fu Yin Wengzi 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.
He didn't really care. After all, although Jia Zhen was the heir to the Duke's Palace, she was not really a powerful figure in the capital. Even if she had the legacy of her ancestors, her rank was only the same as him.
"How did you die?"
"I don't know, I said before. It seems that they were assassinated. Their family members came to report the case and asked the master to send someone to investigate the case and make decisions for them." The slave of the Weng family outside the door replied.
Hearing that he had been assassinated, Weng Ziqin became very solemn.
I thought to myself, although this Jia Zhen is nothing, the Jia family cannot underestimate her.
A dead camel is bigger than a horse. Besides, 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 have a negative impact on him if it becomes serious. On the contrary, 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 gathering the people to handle the case, he sent someone to the Ministry of Punishment to report.
Although Shuntian Prefecture is a parent government office and has to take care of everything, 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 his 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 the governor was coming in person, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian rushed out to welcome him.
"For the family affairs of the Imperial Household, the distinguished relatives of the Imperial Household are here, and Jia Zheng expresses his thanks to everyone in the Imperial Household."
As soon as they met, Jia Zheng was accustomed to being polite and polite.
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, regardless of his background, Jia Zheng is several levels shorter than others!
"Haha, Mr. Zheng is too polite. This is my official responsibility. I dare not thank you."
Weng Ziqin responded politely and ordered the accompanying workers to start 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 is the work of General Jia?"
Jia Lian nodded, "Tonight, I led my officers and soldiers to patrol the city. I heard about what happened at home. This action is just to prevent the murderer from escaping in the chaos. When Mr. Weng asks this, does he think that I am making a fuss out of a molehill?"
"Hahaha, General Jia misunderstood.
The official just felt that with the support of General Jia and many officers and soldiers from the Army and Horses 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 just marveled at the grandeur of the Duke's Mansion.
Darling, he thought he came quickly enough, who knew that they had already been prepared. It seems that even if Shuntian Mansion doesn't care about this matter, Jia Mansion can solve it on its own!
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 Si is as famous as the Shuntian Prefecture, and the reason why it is infuriated is the same, that is, its control is too lenient. Moreover, the powers of the Shuntian Prefecture and the five Bingma Si Yamen have 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 "main official" to "lower official". Because his family was killed, his harsh tone softened a little and said: "Master Weng, you are polite.
I never expected that there would be such a bold and reckless thief in the capital, at the feet of the emperor!
So Tu Bian found out the murderer and brought him to justice.
I have ordered my officers and soldiers to surround the two neighboring palaces, and I have ordered the servants of the two mansions to light lanterns throughout the two mansions, and then work in groups of three to conduct a carpet-like search.
And all the concierges, readers and all suspicious personnel have been arrested and prepared to be tortured.
Presumably, there will be results soon."
When Weng Ziqin heard this, his eyes lit up. In this way, even if the murderer escaped quickly, he would escape before Jia Lian came with his troops.
But with Jia Lian's careful plan, he will soon find out who the murderer is, and the rest will not be just a pursuit.
It seems that tonight's trip is the right one. I believe he can get the credit for it without any extra trouble on his part.
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'an Hall, only Jia Lian's people can move freely. At this time, no one except Jia Lian's people dared to walk around for fear that if they were not careful, they would be suspected by the second master Lian's people and be arrested and suffer hardship.
