Hua Junyao remained silent and did not even want to look at her mother.
Hu Nanxi also realized that the second wife's daughter-in-law had gone too far, and waved her hand impatiently at Hua Junxu: "Why don't you go back with your family?"
Hua Junxu was too lazy to look at the woman anymore. He flicked his sleeves and walked away first.
Meng Yutang suffered a loss and did not dare to speak nonsense again, so she could only lead her daughter out of the yard in disgrace.
Hua Rujin was well aware of what happened in the courtyard, but the culprit had not been caught yet, and she could not tell the truth to the Hua family. She just asked Hua Junnian, Cai Baiwei and his wife to stay at the Lu family to help with the funeral arrangements, and then with
Ye Chengguan went to the county government office with the people from the government office.
When they arrived at the inner hall of the county government office, several people sat down. Wu Yue, out of admiration for Ye Chengkuan and respect for the superior officer, respectfully asked: "Brother Chengkuan, what do you think of this matter?"
Ye Chenggui and Hua Rujin looked at each other with a cold face, and at the same time they turned their gazes to Prince Ning Zhu Zhiye, who had a blank look on his face.
"You guys. Look at what I do. I didn't kill people."
Zhu Zhiye curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "I have no enmity or enmity with them, and there is no need to harm them."
Both of them looked helpless at the same time.
Ye Chengguan had no choice but to explain patiently: "I just went to the Qian family's hiding place in the northern suburbs of the city. I wanted to arrest her, but I didn't expect that I encountered a group of strongmen who stopped me. When I returned to the Lu family, the Lu family was destroyed.
He said it, and Hua Minze is still missing."
"So you suspect that my second emperor brother kidnapped people?"
Prince Ning's eyes widened in disbelief: "If he wants to get his son back, all he has to do is pick him up, why bother killing people to silence him?"
"I'm afraid that the Lu family noticed it and had no choice but to keep silent."
Wu Muning also felt helpless towards His Highness, whom he admired. He couldn't analyze such a simple truth.
After Zhu Zhiye understood, he looked furious, glared at Ye Chengguan and said loudly: "Master Ye, you kept saying that you had found the whereabouts before, but now not only have people escaped, but more than ten members of the Lu family have been killed.
Well, how do you explain this matter?"
"I do know who is running errands for Prince Yun, and I even witnessed this person murder Wen Yuming and silence him. Does His Highness Prince Ning dare to go and arrest him in a legitimate manner?"
Ye Chengguan asked sharply.
"who?"
Zhu Zhiye stood up angrily.
"Jiang Zhu, Superintendent of the Inspection Department of Jiang'an County."
Now, Ye Chenggui no longer hides anything.
Hearing this name, Zhu Zhiye sat back down and said, "Jiang Zhu from the Inspection Department is the most valued person by my father. Although he is only a low-ranking official, my father appreciates him very much. How could he
Are you willing to degenerate yourself into doing things for the Second Emperor Brother?"
"Precisely because he is from the Inspection Department, we must either be absolutely sure to capture this person in one fell swoop, or we should not act rashly."
Ye Chengguan raised his eyebrows and said: "Only this person can command a large number of assassins at will in Jiangling City and plan everything for King Yun."
"Jiang Zhu has a weird personality. He always follows His Majesty when he is a dragon. Although he is highly regarded by His Majesty, he is not a fish in water in the officialdom. His Majesty has always placed him in the Inspection Department, and it is still in a small place like Jiang'an County.
I'm afraid he has many complaints in his heart."
Wu Yue frowned and said suspiciously: "It's not surprising that he is secretly loyal to Prince Yun. After all, judging from the current situation, His Majesty, the person most likely to inherit the throne in a hundred years is His Royal Highness Prince Yun."
"Jiang'an County is not a small place."
Ye Chengguan sneered: "The battle with the Chen Dynasty was extremely difficult when Taizu crossed the river. Even now, many people still remember the short-lived emperor of the Chen Dynasty. Although Jiang Zhu was only appointed as the last rank by His Majesty,
He is a small official, but he has a lot of power, so let’s talk about Jiang’an County and his party. This person doesn’t even pay attention to the magistrate and the people in the Supervisory Council, and he doesn’t make friends with any officials.”
Hearing him mention this person, Hua Rujin immediately reacted.
After spending so many days in Jiang'an County, I have never heard of any Superintendent of the Inspection Department, which shows that this person is high-minded and self-righteous.
It must not be easy for a low-level official to be so unruly.
"Now that both Mr. Qian and my cousin have been picked up, and they are covered by people from the Inspection Department, it is extremely difficult to find them again. Is there anything Mr. Ye can do?"
Hua Rujin was also at a loss at this time and had no feasible strategy.
Ye Chengguan sighed softly: "I have asked the Inspector to investigate along the way, and after all, the Inspection Department has given orders directly to His Majesty. Not everyone dares to act as boldly as Jiang Zhu. They, mother and son, cannot escape."
"I have an idea."
Hua Rujin immediately thought of the uninvited guest. He said that he came to Jiangling City on official business, and it must be related to this matter: "Since King Yun is so afraid that the affairs of Qian's mother and son will be exposed, naturally someone is eager to take them."
If we tell His Highness Prince Fu about this, he will be more concerned about it than we are, and he will dig even three feet into the ground to find the mother and son."
"That's true."
Wu Muning smiled sadly: "I heard that this time even Luo Chuhuai, the left governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, came to Jiangling City in person. Princess Zhengning is King Fu's most beloved sister, so Luo Chuhuai is highly relied on by King Fu.
I must have heard some rumors and came here specifically for this matter."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xiuyuan came in hurriedly and said, "Your Highness and the two adults, Governor Luo, are here to visit."
Several people looked at each other and smiled.
There was a hint of embarrassment on Hua Rujin's face, and she said with a stiff smile: "I really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here."
After Luo Chuhuai was led into the government office, the father and daughter looked at each other for a long time, then Luo Chuhuai slowly sat down and said straight to the point: "I heard that there was a fight outside the city today and many people died. I dare to ask Mr. Ye,
Have you found the owner of that yard?"
Ye Chengguan's heart trembled, and he immediately guessed that Luo Chuhuai had already known his movements, and replied with a smile: "Who is the Governor looking for?"
"Qian Yingying."
Luo Chuhuai grinned coldly, and a sinister evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "You are all smart people, don't you think you need me to remind you of this woman's background?"
Hua Rujin heard something was wrong. He didn't ask about so many people who died in the city, but he chose to ask about things outside the city. There must be something fishy in this.
Could it be that he kidnapped Hua Minze and killed everyone in the Lu family?
When Wu Mu Ning analyzed it earlier, she didn't take it seriously, but now that she thought about it carefully, Prince Ning's concerns were not unreasonable.
If King Yun wanted to get his son back, there were so many experts around him who could pick him up by any means, so why bother destroying the Lu family and creating an extravagance? This kind of frame-up method can be understood after thinking deeply.
"Captain Luo is really well-informed. More than ten members of the Lu family in the east of the city were wiped out and some people disappeared. However, Governor Luo didn't ask about the Lu family's affairs. Instead, he knew about the fight in the north of the city."
Hua Rujin deliberately sarcastically said: "You know that the missing person of the Lu family is more important than Qian Yingying. The governor is putting the cart before the horse, right?"
