Chapter 379: Adding money to lay people
After Jia Wei visited Xue Ke, he went outside the main courtyard and saw Aunt Xue already dressed neatly and got on the carriage.

"Mother-in-law, are we going back home now?"

But the carriage curtain was not even opened. It seemed that because of the accident just now, Aunt Xue was embarrassed to meet him for a short time...

"Okay." Aunt Xue's soft voice came from the carriage, and it was indeed very concise.

Jia Wei also jumped on his horse and followed the carriage back to the marquis's mansion.

Anyway, the Xue family was very close to the Marquis's Mansion, so he went back to reassure Baochai and Baoqin first.

This also gave Shen Lian and others enough time to solve the case. When the time came, he would go to the Jinyi Yamen and ask directly for the result.

The carriage went straight into the mansion from the corner gate and stopped in front of a gate with hanging flowers. Baochai and Daiyu had already heard about it and were waiting respectfully in the courtyard. When they saw the carriage coming in, they all went to greet it.

Hearing Daiyu's voices, Aunt Xue had to get out of the car. When she lifted the curtain, her eyes met Jia Wei's. She couldn't help but panic and quickly avoided the car.

"Hello, auntie."

"Hey!" Aunt Xue agreed, and took Daiyu's hand again, "Good girl."

Baochai met Jia Wei and wanted to ask him about Xue Ke.

"Yu'er, please ask your mother-in-law to come in and sit down." Jia Wei said.

Daiyu agreed and entered the Chuihua Gate with Aunt Xue. When they saw their backs disappear, Baochai looked at Jia Wei, her almond-shaped eyes revealing concern.

"Isn't it too much trouble?"

Jia Wei put his arm around Baochai's soft waist and walked towards the shady hall.

"It's not a big deal. I'll take care of it right away. Xue Ke is seriously injured and will probably have to lie down for two months... Where's Bao Qin?"

Baochai said, "Baoqin is still playing in the garden. I didn't tell her these things."

Jia Wei nodded and said, "Xue Ke is recuperating in the courtyard outside. Let her go and see him."

After saying this, Jia Wei hugged Baochai tightly again and felt it carefully.

Although mature women have their own advantages, they certainly cannot be compared with young girls...

"I'm out on some business."

Jia Wei turned around and left. Baochai walked with him for a few steps, then returned to the house, where she saw Daiyu and Aunt Xue acting very enthusiastically and chatting happily.

"Your sister is here." Aunt Xue said when she saw Baochai come in, and then she smiled.

She held Daiyu's hand and said, "It's just that fate is indescribable. You two were very close when you were in the West Palace, calling each other sister. I never thought that after only a year, you both married into the East Palace. This situation is even closer than that of real sisters!"

Daiyu felt shy when she heard this. Baochai asked Ying'er to go into the garden to call Baoqin, and then she came over and said, "You two can chat and laugh, I'm just coming in now!"

Aunt Xue held Daiyu in one hand and held Baochai in her arms. Baochai also leaned on her. She saw Aunt Xue less often after she got married.

Daiyu laughed and said, "Look! She is so old now. When she is away from her aunt, she is very mature. When she sees her aunt, she acts like a spoiled child."

Aunt Xue hugged Baochai and sighed to Daiyu: "Your sister got married early, and Pan'er is ignorant. It was only when I saw her that I felt happy."

Daiyu heard this and suddenly thought of the deceased Jia Min, and she burst into tears: "I am a motherless person, and you deliberately pierce my eyes."

Aunt Xue stroked Daiyu and smiled gently, "My dear child, your elder sister lost her father when she was young, and you lost your mother when you were young. I love you two sisters equally. If your father were not still alive, I would definitely adopt you as my own daughter."

Daiyu stopped crying and said with a smile, "Although I cannot recognize my aunt as my mother, I can still call you mother together with my sister. If my aunt disapproves and refuses to agree, it would be a pretense of loving me."

Aunt Xue said quickly: "My dear child, if you don't dislike me, you can call me mother in the future. I will treat you the same as Baochai..."

The three of them were chatting and laughing, and Baoqin also came out. When she heard that her brother was injured, her face was of course full of worry.

Baochai and Baoqin immediately went to the front yard to visit Xue Ke, while Daiyu continued to accompany Aunt Xue...

In the Northern Pacification Office, Jia Wei once again came to the imperial prison to which he was loyal.

On the execution rack, the leader was covered in blood. Within an hour, he was tortured by the Jinyiwei and was no longer human. He was still hanging on with only half a breath. Jia Wei took the record and read it. Pei Lun bowed and said, "My Lord, all the troublemakers have been arrested. After torture, it was found that someone paid a large sum of money to hire them to do the job."

"Who?"

"That man is a famous knight-errant in the capital, his name is Ding Xiu."

"Ding Xiu?" Jia Wei raised his eyes and looked at Pei Lun.

More money for lay people?

Actually, this Jia Qian layman has some connection with him. Ding Xiu is Ding Baiying's eldest disciple and Jin Yichuan's senior brother...

But he had no grudge against Ding Xiu, so it was impossible for Ding Xiu to suddenly come and cause trouble.

It is obvious that Ding Xiu is just a middleman, and this is another case of outsourcing business...

The person behind the scenes found Ding Xiu, the best knight in the capital with the best martial arts. Ding Xiu took the money but didn't want to do the job, so he went to find that group of uninformed thugs.

"Where are Ding Xiu and the others?"

Pei Lun bowed again and said: "I have failed in my duties and have not yet caught Ding Xiu. Please forgive me, Lord!"

Jia Wei continued to look at the transcript. Ding Xiu's martial arts skills were better than those of Jin Yichuan, Ding Baiying, Lu Wenzhao and others. It was common for those ordinary imperial guards to fail to catch anyone.

"Let Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing, and Jin Yichuan go together, and pass on the news to me."

"Yes!" Pei Lun agreed, but did not leave. Instead, he continued, "My Lord, I have another discovery. Although we have not caught the mastermind Ding Xiu, I have dug out some clues from these young men..."

Pei Lun said as he stole a glance at Jia Wei's face: "This matter seems to be related to a small flag officer of the Five Cities Military Department..."

"Five Cities Military Command?"

In an instant, Jia Wei grasped the key point and remembered a key person.

Qiu Liang, grandson of Marquis Jingtian and commander of the Five Cities Army!

Qiu Liang had done something bad in secret years ago! After a thorough investigation, Jia Wei discovered that although Qiu Liang was a military hero of the four founding kings and eight dukes, he had joined the Zhongshun Palace!
In an instant, Jia Wei connected all the clues together, regardless of whether someone was taking advantage of the situation and diverting the trouble to others.

But it would not be a wrong move for him to deal with Qiu Liang now.

Pei Lun said: "Yes, it is the Five Cities Military Command! But I haven't found any evidence yet..."

Jia Wei smiled and flicked the transcript in his hand.

“Isn’t this evidence?”

Pei Lun's eyes lit up, and he understood instantly. He quickly bowed and said, "I understand."

"Go and capture that flag officer from the Bingmasi and interrogate him severely." Jia Wei turned around.

Pei Lun followed in small steps: "Then these green-skinned people..."

"All of them will be thrown into death row!"

The imperial prison is also divided into different levels.

For example, when Xue Pan and Jia Zheng were imprisoned in the imperial prison before, they were both at the outermost edge, so the probability of them walking out alive was very high.

But the death row is for serious criminals, and few Jinyiwei have walked out of the death row so far...

According to the law, even though he committed murder in the past few days, he would not lose his life...

"I obey your command!" Pei Lun responded quickly.

Jia Wei went outside and said, "Send troops immediately to surround Jingtian Marquis's mansion!"
