Each of these people is more mysterious than the other.
"By the way, my lord, a big event happened in Beishi tonight, and the yamen seems to be trying their best to block the news."
After listening to Jiu Chen's words, Lin Jiang raised his eyebrows curiously, "What's the matter?"
"A tavern in Beishi was burned, and a dozen people died. One of the dead was the elder of the Jiang family in Linjiang Prefecture."
"The Jiang family?" Lin Jiang was surprised, "Jiang Shaofu's elder brother?"
Jiu Chen nodded, "Exactly."
Lin Jiang smiled lightly, and said, "The Jiang family has been domineering in Linjiang Mansion for many years, and everyone in the Jiang Mansion, from old to young, has almost all had human blood on their hands. It's not unusual for one or two to die."
I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet
They have killed so many people, they must always be prepared to be killed.
There was no movement at the yamen for a while, probably because they were anxious to suppress the news.
After all, the magistrate of the Jiang family died in Huangyang Town, and the county magistrate was probably also afraid.
Moreover, Jiang Shaofu is a celebrity in front of the prince. Offending someone from the Jiang family is equivalent to offending Jiang Shaofu, and indirectly to offending the prince.
It's nothing to lose the official hat, but I'm afraid I lost my head too.
"interesting."
Lin Jiang smiled and said in a low voice.
Although he and Shangguan Ye are good friends, it doesn't mean that he agrees with the good deeds that Shangguan county magistrate has done in private.
Accepting bribes, deliberately misjudging cases, and even being tortured into tricks, Shangguan county magistrate has done a lot.
He even heard from his father that the county magistrate of Shangguan actually wanted a servant of the Deng family to take the blame in order to embezzle the property of the Deng family.
Fortunately, Master Chu resolved it in the end.
It's a pity that when he went back last time, Chu Sihan was busy with other things, so he couldn't witness his true face.
Father has always been full of praise for this man, and the people in the city seem to be in awe of him.
When Chu Sihan came to Linjiang Mansion to take office, he happened to be away from home, and when he came back two years later, he wanted to pay a visit, but it happened that Chu Sihan was at his busiest time.
——
Although the yamen tried their best to suppress the news that the elder of the Jiang family was buried in an inn, how could everyone not pay attention to the fact that an inn caught fire and a person died
I don't know which talkative person leaked this matter. For a while, everyone who knew the strength of Jiang's family sighed.
The murderer hadn't been found for a while, and the Shangguan county magistrate was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The guests who ran out of the inn at that time were all regarded as suspects and put in jail.
However, those people were ordinary merchants from all over the world, and they had never had any contact with Jiang's family, let alone any enmity.
After what happened last night, the town gate was sealed.
Now, there are people from the Yamen everywhere, if the murderer is still in the city, he will not be able to escape even if he spreads his wings.
Lu Ran, who had just arrived in Nanshi by bullock cart from Dongshi, was planning to go home, but this time, he was stricter than when Deng's house was destroyed.
People from outside the town couldn't enter, and people from the town couldn't go out. For a while, the people's livelihood complained a lot.
Unable to leave the town gate, Lu Ran could only go back to his private school.
Duan Zhen and his party were also not allowed to go out.
Everyone can't go back, they can't even go to the street, they can only stay in private schools to study.
"Even Duan Xiucai can't go home, and we can't go back."
The last time when Deng's mansion was destroyed, Duan Zheng just arrived at the door, and those government servants let him go directly.
But this time, not only did he not let him go, but his attitude was very rude.
This made Duan Zhen, who had always been proud and arrogant, feel very uncomfortable.
It wasn't until later that the news of Jiang Shaofu's eldest brother being buried in the inn spread to the private school, that everyone knew about it.
