Chapter 206 Handing the Knife

The tragic prefect of the Great Zhou Jingzhao, Zhang Wenjiang, knelt in Xuande Hall, and was scolded by Emperor Jinghe. While being scolded, Zhang Wenjiang had to kowtow and said, "Long live to calm down, I deserve to die."

Who made him the prefect of Jingzhao? Who made him rule the military commander of the five cities and the security of the capital? In broad daylight, someone committed crimes and abducted officials' families in the streets. Is it not that he was the prefect of Jingzhao, or who was the prefect of Jingzhao? It was still light to just scold him. Before he could even give him a death limit, he would pick up the black sand and hang the seal.

"If the master cannot be arrested on the fifteenth day, the Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Qing doesn't have to be the emperor!" Emperor Jinghe cursed and finally said a harsh sentence.

Zhang Wenjiang wanted to give himself a mouth. It was such a good and bad spirit. He was scared to say something, "I received the order."

The last time he was not solved within a deadline was the case of Jiang Song being poisoned. Fortunately, the Queen Mother Futian saved his life. If the case is not solved this time, even if the black veil on his head is saved, he will become an incompetent minister in Long Live's eyes. What's the use of keeping it!

No matter who harms Jiang Feng this time, he will pull the person out and tear him apart! Zhang Wenjiang angrily left the palace and returned to Jingzhao Prefecture to gather officials in the prefecture for a meeting and assign tasks.

Emperor Jinghe gave him half a month, and he gave him seven days to the officials of Jingzhao Prefecture. If he had no idea about seven days, what's the use of keeping them!

No one left, all will be bombarded!

That night, many people in Kang'an City could not fall asleep, but Mr. Jiang, who had lit the Anshenxiang, slept very calmly. After being awakened by Jiang Bao at the 20th day of March, Mr. Jiang got up and went to the yard. He found that his children had all got up and stood in the yard waiting for him.

After the children gave their morning greetings, Mr. Jiang took them to the North Courtyard and found that the whole family was waiting for him. They wanted to say something, but they didn't know what to say. They just looked at him so eagerly. Mr. Jiang, who had been sleeping, smiled.

Mr. Jiang smiled and the whole family breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Song patted his second brother on the shoulder and took him into the house to pay tribute to his mother and eat the breakfast prepared by his mother.

On the usual lively dining table, today I couldn’t even hear the sound of dishes. After Mr. Jiang had enough food and drink, everyone stood up immediately. Mr. Jiang couldn’t help laughing, “I’m not nervous, why are you so nervous?”

Jiang Song was really nervous than before when he was taking the spring exam. He was afraid that his second brother would make some fork, and he was also afraid that he would be under great pressure, so he didn't dare to say anything. The old lady pretended to be relaxed, "It's better not to be nervous, just pack up and prepare to go."

Mr. Jiang took two steps and saw that the whole family was following behind. After cleaning up the things in the west courtyard, he saw that the whole family was still following behind. He sighed, "I don't give me a few words to you, but I always feel uneasy."

Mrs. Jiang, who could not hold it in, immediately said, "It's been half a day, don't worry, write slowly, and write after you have thought about it."

Jiang Song also hurriedly said, "If you encounter words that you can't be sure, you'll remember them later; read the questions asked a few times, think clearly before writing them, don't seek novelty, but be safe."

Jiang Huai, who never talked much, also said, "My second brother can't take it right away. Think more about what Uncle Qiu said. If it really doesn't work, just repeat his words."

Mr. Jiang nodded and got on the carriage with everyone's expectations. Jiang Bao, Lu Dingyun, Hu Yantu and others escorted to the tribute court. As soon as they left the gate, they saw a team of commanders from the Xicheng Military Command standing outside the gate. Feng Zirui, the deputy envoy of the head, stepped forward to salute Mr. Jiang, "Zirui, on the order of Lord Zhang, escort the second master to the tribute court."

After Kong Neng was imprisoned, Feng Zirui took over his position and stayed in Kang'an's western city all day long. Mr. Jiang Er was familiar with him, so he was not polite and bowed, "I'm sorry, Brother Feng, I'll invite you to drink after the exam."

A brother was leading the way, and Feng Zirui rode a horse to follow Mr. Jiang’s carriage and whispered, “Mr. Er, don’t you know? Last night, he was the headmaster and found the corpse of the robber who broke into the Marquis of Pingxi. Where did you find it?”

Mr. Jiang didn't raise his eyelids, "In the well?"

Feng Zirui was shocked, "How did the Second Master know?"

"If someone enters the mansion, he can't turn it out. He must have fallen into the well." Mr. Jiang Er tightly squeezed the pendant of the folding fan, unable to suppress his anger.

Feng Zirui saw that Mr. Jiang was unhappy and hurriedly comforted him, "Don't be angry, Mr. Zhang handled the case all night last night, and he will definitely catch the mastermind behind him as soon as possible and bring him to justice. Look, the people from the Marquis of Pingxi are here to escort you."

Mr. Jiang lifted the curtain and saw the guards of the Marquis of Pingxi, standing by the roadside. The leader, Mr. Jiang, also recognized that it was Deng Facheng, the housekeeper of the Marquis of Pingxi. After Deng Yuanjie, the prince of the Marquis of Pingxi, Mr. Leyang, passed away, Deng Jiliang, the Marquis of Pingxi, returned to Beijing to recuperate. The Deng family stayed behind to thank the guests. Today, Deng Facheng actually brought the guards to escort Mr. Jiang to the tribute courtyard. Not to mention the encirclement of the masses, even Mr. Jiang was scared.

Deng Facheng also fought with the old marquis, and his hands and feet were all like a military general. He went to the car to hold his fists and bowed, "Mr. Jiang Er, the villain escorted his second master to the tribute court on the order of my marquis to escort the second master to the tribute court."

Mr. Jiang got out of the car and returned the greeting with his fists. "Mr. Zhang has sent the brothers of the Xicheng Military Police to escort him, and he dare not bother Uncle Cheng anymore."

Since Deng Facheng has come, he will never go back again. After he asked Mr. Jiang to get on the car, he would walk forward to lead the way. Although the Pingxi Marquis Mansion is not as good as before, the butler of the Pingxi Marquis Mansion can't afford to set off the road for him. He asked Deng Facheng to get on the car and walk with him.

After Deng Facheng got into the car, he also talked about the robbers. "Yesterday, General Huang's guard knocked on the door and said that the robbers who hijacked the daughter of the second master climbed over the wall and entered the Marquis's mansion. The Marquis ordered people to search the whole mansion and found the robber's body in the well in the courtyard in the southwest corner of the Marquis' mansion. After the coroner was prosecuted, the robber was drowned."

When he heard that the robber was indeed drowned in the well in the southwest courtyard of the Hou Mansion, Mr. Jiang Er's hand holding the folding fan tightened a little, and he endured it for a few more days. After the spring examination, he would beat someone up in person!

"The incident of the little girl disturbed the marquis. Jiang Feng was frightened and was determined to come to the door to apologize after the spring examination." Mr. Jiang said sincerely.

Deng Facheng shook his head, "How can the robbers be so panicked, how can they blame the Second Master on the head? The villain's trip was to escort the Second Master to prevent the robbers from committing murder on the way; second, the villain wanted to ask the Second Master, who is the person behind the scenes? Do you have any doubts in your heart?"

Mr. Jiang has always been open-minded in his work. Deng Facheng asked, and Mr. Jiang did not hide it from him. He lowered his voice, "Mr. Jiang is just suspicious, but there is no conclusive evidence yet."

Deng Facheng also said bluntly, "If the robber died elsewhere, the villain would not come to disturb you at this time. There was a hole in the wall of the well in the southwest courtyard of the mansion that could hide people. Last year, the mansion discovered it and blocked the hole, but the robber fell into this well, which was really suspicious. There is nothing in Kang'an City that can be hidden from you. Does the second master know that there is a hole there?"

Deng Facheng's words really made it difficult for Mr. Jiang Er to answer. "Uncle Cheng suspected that the robbers were not panicking, but fled to the Marquis' Mansion to take refuge?"

Thinking of the robber who jumped into the water well of the Hou Mansion and wanted to hide in the cave, and after going down, Mr. Jiang felt extremely happy.

Deng Facheng nodded, "It's not impossible."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Mr. Jiang sighed, "To be honest, Mr. Jiang originally planned to send someone to stare at him first, and settle the score with him after the spring examination."
