The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 287
"One post at fifteen steps, enclose all the high walls of Ningrong and Rongfu to prevent the assassins from climbing over the wall and escaping."

When they came to Ningrong Street, after Jia Lian arranged the blockade order, he brought people to the main gate of Ningguo Mansion.

It happened that Zhao'er waited for the servants to rush over, including several of Jia Lian's rest guards, including Aqi.

She still dressed up as usual, looking capable and neat, and came to Jia Lian's side very calmly.

Jia Lian glanced at her, but she only nodded to Jia Lian.

Lai Sheng, the general manager of the Ningguo Mansion, sent someone to beat the ya drum of the Shuntian Mansion, and at this time, he and a group of servants of the Ningguo Mansion were running around in the compound like headless flies.

Hearing Jia Lian's troops coming, he seemed to be a savior, hurriedly greeted him, and yelled: "Second Master, you are finally here, you must make the decision for our uncle, our uncle, he has gone..."

Jia Lian looked stern, nodded, and said to the people behind him: "Zhang Sheng, Aqi, and Zhao'er come in with me, the others stay put and stand by, and don't rush in without my order."

After finishing speaking, he led the three of them into Ningguo Mansion.

Sure enough, the Ningguo Mansion was in chaos, and everyone had panic and fear on their faces.

Before Lai Sheng trotted to lead Jia Lian to Ningxuantang, You Shi, Qin Shi, and Jia Rong all came out to welcome him.

Their faces were naturally more terrified than the other, and sad and desperate than the other crying.

Jia Rong even knelt down in front of Jia Lian with a plop, and said sadly: "I beg my second uncle to be the master, my father, my father died so badly, I beg my second uncle to help us find the murderer and make the decision for us."

Jia Rong was crying with snot and tears, and now she finally had the image of a filial son.

Jia Lian also looked sad, helped Jia Rong up, gave a word of relief, and then asked Youshi: "What's going on?

Youshi wiped his tears and said: "Back to the second uncle, we don't know what happened. It was discovered by the women in charge of the night watch. They said that when they passed by outside the Tianxiang Building, they heard something moving inside and looked for it. I touched it, and unexpectedly, I found the body of your big brother Zhen!
After our simple inspection, it is determined that your elder brother Zhen fell from the main building and the third floor of Tianxiang Building..."

Jia Lian immediately asked back: "Okay, why did you fall from the third floor?"

Jia Rong who was on the side hurriedly said, "My father didn't fall to his death, but someone assassinated him. Although his body was broken, Lai Sheng and I checked just now, and there was a big hole in my father's chest, as if he was stabbed by a knife. It's been a while, woo woo woo, my father is so miserable..."

When Jia Rong was crying, Qin Shi was also wiping away her tears, but she still couldn't help being shocked when she occasionally looked at Jia Lian, but she was smart, and soon chose to bow her head and sob silently.

Without much gossip, Jia Lian walked into the hall.At this time, Jia Zhen's body was wrapped in a white cloth and brought here.

Similar to Jia Amnesty back then, a group of Yingying Yanyans knelt on the ground, crying one by one, which was called a sad one.

Jia Lian frowned, and Youshi, who was used to observing words and expressions, immediately stepped forward and drove these women who affected his mood aside.

Just then Jia Lian stepped forward, lifted the white cloth and took a look, and it was really bloody and horrible.Apparently, You Shi and the 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 will naturally not have any impact on Jia Lian.He briefly inspected 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 surround the high walls of the two mansions. As long as the assassin is still in the two mansions, he can There must be no escape.

The most urgent task is to go to the yamen as soon as possible to invite a clever assistant to come and verify the cause of brother Ming Zhen's death, so as to facilitate the search for the real culprit. "

Jia Lian's calm and orderly words made the bewildered You Shi and the others seem to have a backbone at once, nodded quickly, and said that they had sent someone to invite Wu Zuo.

After a while, the neighbors and elders of Jia's family who lived together with Jia Zheng came one after another.

After verifying the bad news, everyone cried bitterly, so the crying in the Ningguo Mansion became louder and louder.

……

Everyone in Rongguo Mansion was also the first to learn of this frightening news.

It's just that they were all about to rest, so they moved slowly, even later than Jia Lian who "coincidentally" led troops on patrol.

Of course, Mother Jia and the others from Rongguo Mansion could only rush over to add a few people who expressed shock and crying.As for the servants, they could only quietly startle and talk about it.

In the back office of Shuntian Mansion, the master of Fuyin was already hugging his concubine and preparing to go to sleep, and he was very upset to be disturbed by his servants.

"It's not that, after Youzheng, no matter what happens, I will report it tomorrow."

"Sir, it's a big deal..."

"Hmph, big event? In such a huge capital, if two big events don't happen one day, both of which will disturb the mansion, then the mansion won't have to sleep!"

"My lord, it's Ningguo Mansion. Jia Zhen, the third-rank general of Ningguo Mansion, is dead."

"died?"

Fu Yin Weng forced himself to sit up.

As the 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 too much, after all, although Jia Zhen is the heir to the Duke's Mansion, she is not really a powerful role in the capital, even if she has the shadow of her ancestors, she is only as good as him.

"How did you die?"

"I don't know, I said earlier that they were assassinated. Their family members came to report the case, please send someone to investigate the case and make decisions for them." The servant of the Weng family outside the door replied.

Hearing that he was assassinated, Weng Ziqin became a lot more solemn.

I thought to myself, although this Jia Zhen is nothing, but the Jia family should not underestimate it.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse, besides, the Jia family now has a noble concubine, which is a very glorious time.

If he can take the opportunity to make friends with the Jia family, it will be beneficial to his official career.

Moreover, if such a major case occurs under his jurisdiction, if it becomes serious, it will also have a negative impact on him.On the contrary, if he can solve the case in his hands, it will be a good achievement for him.

After thinking about it, Weng Ziqin packed up and came out, and at the same time summoned the manpower to handle the case, and at the same time sent people to report to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Although Shuntian Mansion is the parents' yamen, it should take care of everything logically.But the capital is too big after all, and there are too many dignitaries.

They are not qualified to manage many cases.

Therefore, in fact, Shuntian Mansion is in charge of "people's livelihood".

He is in charge of matters related to ordinary people, and the Ministry of Punishment usually takes charge of murder cases like this involving honorable families.

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 how to find the murderer in the front hall.

Hearing that Fu Yin came in person, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian rushed out to welcome him.

"The family affairs of the Bifu, the relatives of the Leimeng Mansion are here, and Jia Zheng thanked the whole family on behalf of the Bifu."

Once they met, Jia Zheng was habitually courteous.

Although in the eyes of many people, being a government official in the capital is a matter of grievance, because there are many yamen in the upper echelon, and there are many powerful people who can't afford to offend.

But Shuntian Mansion is the number one magistrate in the world after all, with great authority and respected status, so Jia Zheng's politeness is completely reasonable.

After all, regardless of the background, Jia Zheng is several grades shorter than others!
"Haha, Mr. Zheng is too polite. This is a matter of my duty, so I dare not thank you."

Weng Ziqin responded politely, and ordered the accompanying assistants to start working, then Fang smiled and looked at Jia Lian: "When I came here just now, I saw that the streets here are all under martial law, presumably this is General Jia's masterpiece?"

Jia Lian nodded, "Tonight I led the officers and soldiers to patrol the city. I heard about the family affairs. This is just to prevent the murderer from escaping in the chaos. Mr. Weng asks this question, do you think the general has made a big deal out of a molehill?"

"Hahaha, where is it, General Jia misunderstood.

The lower official just felt that with the support of General Jia and many officers and soldiers of the Bingma Division, if the murderer was still in the mansion, he would surely be unable to escape.

In this way, the next 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 only marveled at the power of the Duke's Mansion.

Hey, he thinks he came fast enough, who knows that people are already ready to fight here.It seems that even if Shuntian Mansion doesn't care about this matter, Jia Mansion can solve it by itself!

As for Jia Lian making a fuss over a molehill, using public equipment for private use, exceeding his authority, etc., he has no such intention at all.

Bing Ma Si is as famous as the Shuntian Mansion's angry yamen, even the reason for the angry is the same, that is, the management is too wide.Moreover, the functions and powers of Shuntian Mansion and the five Bing Ma Si Yamen are seriously overlapped.

The soldiers and horses are also responsible for inspecting the murderers in the jurisdiction, so it is reasonable, reasonable and legal for Jia Lian to launch such a big battle to hunt down the murderer who assassinated his family!
He really felt that with Jia Lian's help, it would be easier to solve the case.

When Jia Lian saw Weng Ziqin confronting him, he took the initiative to downgrade himself as a "lower official" from "the official" and softened his harsh tone because of the murder of his family, saying, "Master Weng, you are welcome.

I didn't expect that there would be such a bold and reckless thief in the majestic capital, at the foot of the emperor!

Therefore, the murderer must be found out and brought to justice.

I have already ordered my officers and soldiers to encircle the two adjacent duke mansions, and I have ordered the servants of the two mansions to light up lanterns in the area of ​​the two mansions, and then conduct a carpet-like search in groups of three.

And all the concierges and all suspicious personnel have been arrested, ready to be tortured.

Presumably, there will be results soon. "

Weng Ziqin's eyes lit up when he heard the words. In this way, even if the murderer escaped quickly, he escaped before Jia Lian brought his troops over.

But under Jia Lian's careful plan, the murderer will be found out soon, and the rest is nothing more than hunting down.

It seems that this trip tonight is the right one, and I believe he can get the credit for nothing without his troubles.

So Weng Ziqin became more polite to Jia Lian, chatted with each other, and came to the place where Jia Zhen's body was parked.

Under the arrangement of You Shi and others, Jiamu and all those who are not helpful to solve the case have already waited elsewhere.

In the entire Ning Xuantang, only Jia Lian's staff can move freely.At this time, except for Jia Lian's people, no one dared to walk around indiscriminately, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be suspected by Lian's second master's people, and they would be arrested and suffer.

　Although it is Chapter 3, I dare not say that it is more...
