This is the middle section of West Street. Even if it rains, since it is summer, pedestrians are constantly coming and going, the shops are crowded with customers, and the people are noisy.
Chongqing House is not a brothel, it is a shop that sells precious porcelain, so there are not many customers. The room on the third floor is not big, and the windows are wide open. Anyone passing by outside can see clearly.
Light came in and fell on the man sitting at the head of the table. With the colorful light and shadow, the curtains moved with the wind, and the man's fair and beardless face had gloomy eyebrows, not like he was smiling in front of outsiders.
He was like a statue of a god, sitting upright and listening to the report of the man in green in front of him.
"...Captain, that's what happened. The three of them were hanged on the spot. This was something that all the servants in charge of the Prince's Palace saw with their own eyes." The man in Tsing Yi said.
"They are all dead." When he heard that Grandma Jia, Lu Da, and the owner of Liu's shop were all hanged, Mr. Zhao still had no expression on his face and just said this lightly.
It is not a pity to die for the person who betrayed his master, but it is a pity to be a substitute. When the person dies, the clues are cut off.
But then he thought, if he didn't execute these three people, Dai Wang would not be able to catch the real people behind the scenes. The three people who could be used for such a thing were just cannon fodder that others could use and throw away.
If she is as stupid as Aunt Jia, she will probably never know that even if she succeeds in harming Princess Dai and does not show any flaws at the time, she is still destined to get money and land. If she is not lucky enough to enjoy it, she will be silenced after a while.
Besides, if I continue to investigate deeply on behalf of the king, I am afraid that the outcome may not be good.
"In addition, King Dai also promoted Jiang Yi and Bo Yan. Jiang Yi was promoted to deputy steward of King Dai's Mansion, and Bo Yan was promoted to deputy captain of the Third Mansion Army. Each of them received one hundred taels of silver. When the villain came, King Dai's Mansion had already
We sent people to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to register the two of them."
"Jiang Yi is just that, Bo Yan has been promoted too?"
When Eunuch Zhao heard this, his expression was a little strange and he was speechless.
The man in Tsing Yi raised his eyes and quickly lowered his eyes: "Yes, Bo Yan made a contribution to the investigation of Grandma Jia and was promoted to deputy captain. I don't think it's strange."
Then he said: "But this Bo Yan seems to have taken orders from King Qi before..."
He happened to be promoted at this time. Hey, where can such a thing be mentioned?
"The acting king is also helpless. The foundation is still shallow and there is no one available." Eunuch Zhao stood up and took a few steps, looking thoughtful: "Otherwise, we can't just put people in, and Jiang Yi can't be so easy.
Just agree to respond."
Even if there is a so-called "righteousness", other princes are not so easy to "respond".
Just as Eunuch Zhao was saying this, someone suddenly ran up the stairs, and he immediately stopped in alarm. Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, someone came outside to report: "Report...to the Governor, Jiang Yi is dead!"
"What?" Eunuch Zhao stood up immediately, and his face that was originally filled with emotion suddenly became filled with dark clouds.
"Jiang Yi is dead? How did he die? Who killed him?"
Someone actually killed someone from the Imperial City Division. He deserved to die. No wonder Eunuch Zhao was furious. This was really a slap in the face of the Imperial City Division.
The young man who came in was dressed in gray clothes and looked very inconspicuous. He knelt on the ground and quickly reported: "Captain, I don't know who killed Jiang Yi. It seems that he was assassinated. He killed him with a knife. He stabbed it from the back of the heart. King Dai."
Furious, I have ordered the investigation of the murderer."
Eunuch Zhao couldn't help but walk around the room twice, wandering around. His anger was slowly suppressed, and he couldn't help but look thoughtful again.
It is said that Jiang Yi was interviewed by the Imperial City Secretary and was considered to be someone who was inserted into Prince Dai's palace. The most likely person to take action against Jiang Yi should be Prince Dai.
But the Imperial City Department sent Jiang Yi to lurk, but didn't let him do much. Even if Nanny Jia was caught, she bit her randomly and bit out Jiang Yi, but how long had it passed?
Not to mention whether King Dai would take action even if he really found out that Jiang Yi was secretly colluding with the Imperial City Division. Even if he could eradicate him, he should find out Jiang Yi's true identity before taking action.
No matter how you look at it, Jiang Yi's death seems like a provocation against Dai Wang. Because Jiang Yi was promoted in public, if someone wants to provoke Dai Wang, they kill the "hero" who was just rewarded by Dai Wang on the same day. This will not only give Dai a heavy blow.
The king's face can also make the servants in charge of the Prince's palace panic.
Could the person who did this at this time be...
"Go down and ask the people lurking in Prince Lu's Mansion to check out Prince Lu's movements immediately!" Eunuch Zhao was silent for a moment before giving instructions.
"Yes!" The man in gray in front of him responded immediately.
"Also, send people to guard Prince Lu's Mansion, don't let anyone get out easily."
"Yes!" Another man in Tsing Yi also accepted the order and retreated.
Prince Lu's Mansion
The cicada's screams were incessant, which usually made people upset, but in this situation, it made everyone trapped in the house even more anxious.
Steward Fang walked out from inside and stopped when he was still more than ten steps away from the door.
The concierge has long been taken over by the armored soldiers. From where you stand, you can see the concierge and the sentries three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post along the wall. All of them are holding their long swords, looking at them intently, with a look of solemnity.
Although a soldier like this in the past would not be despised by an ordinary steward of Prince Lu's palace, at least he would not be looked upon seriously.
There are seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door, and the same is true in front of the prince's palace.
But now, this ordinary armored soldier was enough to scare Manager Fang to stop moving forward.
King Lu has now been given the title of prince and has become a commoner. Even the servants of the palace who once showed off their power are like bereaved dogs, and they are in panic all day long.
"Hey!" With a deep sigh, the steward turned around and walked back.
Although the gate is right in front of you, it is guarded by armored soldiers and there is no such thing as buying groceries. Don't tell me if you go out, even if you get closer and look outside, you will be scolded.
He has been the steward of Prince Lu's Mansion since he went out, and he has always been praised by others. He has never been so angry by outsiders!
They were just a few armored soldiers, but they actually frightened him so much!
"Hey!" He sighed again, but found that this sound was not made by himself. When the steward looked up, he saw his old rival Qian, steward, also sighing.
The hostility they had in the past was gone at this moment, and everyone was frightened in their hearts. The two looked at each other, and actually came together, with dejected faces on their faces, and walked side by side.
"Tell me, do they plan to keep guarding like this and trap the people in the house until they die?" Manager Qian shuddered when he said this.
The most important way to deal with a prince, besides giving him death, is to imprison him.
Once the palace is sealed, the palace becomes a living coffin until You's death.
"Bah, bah, bah! Don't talk nonsense!" Although Manager Fang was also very frustrated, he still raised his eyelids after hearing these words and glared: "Your Majesty is the emperor's biological son! My dear, I just suffered an unreasonable disaster this time. I think I will survive.
The throne will be restored within a period of time, and the palace will also be restored!"
Manager Qian also felt that what he said was ominous, and nodded: "What you are saying is that the prince is such a noble person, and he will definitely be in good times, and then the palace will be fine..."
That's what he said, but the two people who said this had frustration on their faces. It was obvious that they were just saying this to comfort themselves.
