The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

Shui Rong looked at Jiang Zining in surprise, and sneered, "You think you'll be useful to me if you win a gold medal? If you want to arrest someone, where's the evidence?"

"Evidence? Humph, I'll know when Shengtang interrogates you." Jiang Zining looked at Shui Rong with a look of disdain.Others may be afraid of his lordship, but he, Uncle Jiang, is brave and fearless!

Shui Rong also knew that Jiang Zining was a determined idiot, so he only warned him "at your own risk", then knelt down in front of the gold medal and greeted the holy driver.When he got up, Zhaochen rushed over with his troops.

When Zhaochen got the news, he just said that there was a case outside the city gate, and it was the thief who murdered Jia Lian.When Zhaochen heard that it was Jia Lian's business, he didn't dare to be negligent. He didn't even have time to rebel, so he hurriedly led his men to catch the murderer.Seeing the group of people in front of them all just got up, he was still wondering, so he rushed into the crowd to have a look.Sure enough, it was a mistake for him to associate with Jia Lian, a huge mistake!

Zhaochen pulled Jiang Zining aside to speak.

Jiang Zining first sternly ordered his subordinates to strictly control Dui Shui Rong and his guards, "Show me all of them and secure them. If something goes wrong, I want your heads!"

"Yes!" All the soldiers agreed in unison.

Zhaochen grabbed Jiang Zining's arm, his face twitching like a bitter gourd, "My little ancestor, I don't care what you do with your elder brother Lian, but don't pull me up. Do you need me to remind you? That's the King of Beijing, the King of Beijing!"

"I'm not blind, but you, are you deaf? Tell you that there is a suspect who murdered Brother Lian, and you should arrest the murderer according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, do you understand! Brother Zhao, you are much older than my younger brother, so don't call me your younger brother." I look down on you." Just love that Zi Ning turned her head away in displeasure, and even felt that it would be dirty to look at him too much.

"Tch, you simple-minded guy, you still despise me, who gave you face." Zhaochen poked Jiang Zining on the forehead, looked at the gold medal in his hand, and first tactfully found a queen for himself. Lu, "It's settled, I just follow orders for the sake of the gold medal in your hand."

Zhaochen immediately waved his hand and asked someone to escort King Beijing to Gyeonggi Prefecture.

Shui Rong glared at them, then took the initiative to let them go, with a smile on his lips, as if he was sure that they would not do anything to him.

The so-called arrest of adultery requires double arrest. If you don't catch the current situation, there will be no hard evidence.However, what supporting evidence does the other party have? After all, it is some speculation. As long as you find a loophole and argue a few words, you will be able to remove [-]% of your suspicion.He didn't show up at the scene of the incident, as long as he killed him and said he didn't do it, it doesn't matter even if they caught that Aunt Qi who drugged him.Mrs. Qi is no longer a member of the palace, but a peasant woman in the country. He just needs to say that this woman hated him for driving her out of the mansion and revenged him maliciously, everything is easy to explain.It is self-evident that the words of the ignorant woman and the noble prince carry weight.

Furthermore, there is still an aunt in the palace supporting him, even if there are doubts about him, if the other party can't really prove that the murderer is him, he is not guilty.Not only can life be saved, but also face and title can't be lost.The big deal is to disappear in the court for two or three years, and come back later.After all, as long as Jia Lian is dead, everything is easy to talk about.

After Shui Rong was escorted away, Zhaochen wanted to leave with his hands behind his back, frowning.

"Where are you going?" Jiang Zining grabbed him.

"Everyone has been arrested, you are not satisfied, what else do you want?"

"Is this how you handle the case in Gyeonggi Prefecture? Of course you want to search for evidence." Jiang Zining stretched his neck and turned towards the broken donkey cart.

"This? Is this the King of Beijing's car?" Zhaochen leaned forward to look at the two donkeys with a look of disbelief, "Not to mention, the donkeys are much cuter than the horses."

"Search." Jiang Zining reminded.

"Okay, search," Zhaochen waved impatiently to his subordinates, and then muttered in a low voice, "There's nothing to investigate about a broken donkey cart, but it's really suspicious that King Beijing came back in a donkey cart."

Zhaochen suddenly heard someone over there talking about the death of Lord Zhen Guo, and his whole body seemed to be struck by lightning. He turned around and grabbed Jiang Zining, and asked him excitedly if it was true.

Jiang Zining was dizzy from being shaken, he hesitated, and didn't know how to answer Zhaochen, after all, there were too many people at the scene, and talking nonsense was inappropriate.

But Jiang Zining's hesitation made Zhaochen believe what he had heard.Jia Lian is dead?Just die like that?So smart people are dead?

"Just now it was rumored that he was a suspect in the murder of the Duke of Zhen. I naturally decided that it was an attempt. I never thought that such an astute person as him would really be killed. How could this happen!" Suddenly, many images appeared in Zhaochen's mind In a flash, Jia Lian's voice and smile... Zhaochen hugged his head and suddenly squatted on the ground, trying to squeeze out a few tears with his eyelids to show his deep love for his brother, but in the end he didn't cry.

Zhaochen sniffled pitifully, stood up, and said to the dazed Jiang Zining, "Sure enough, he cheated on me so much that I couldn't cry."

Jiang Zining stared at Er Zhaochen obsessively, and just about to open his mouth, the yamen over there suddenly shouted and found again.

The two rushed over to look one after the other, and saw the Yacha take out a small red porcelain bottle from under the seat in the car.

When it was presented in public, the surrounding people and many soldiers and servants all witnessed it with their own eyes.

"What is this?" Zhaochen took the bottle and wanted to open it to see, but was scared by Jiang Zining's words of poison, and returned it to his subordinates, "Go back and find a doctor who knows poison for identification."

Yacha agreed and hurried away.

Zhaochen turned his head and grabbed Jiang Zining's hand, "His body will be brought over in a while, you can go and see it with me, okay?"

Jiang Zining was about to open his mouth when the sound of horseshoes sounded, Zhaochen was attracted by the sound, and then he saw a remarkable person.

It's Jia Lian!

Zhaochen thought he had seen a ghost, so he looked around and covered his face, not daring to look.

Jia Lian rode ahead on horseback, followed by five Liang carriages.The leading carriage was very elegant, and it was his carriage at first glance. The remaining four carriages were larger and rougher in workmanship, and looked like they were used by Zhuangzi.

Jia Lian walked up to Jiang Zining and asked him how things were going.

"Okay, it went very well." Jiang Zining said with a chuckle.

Zhaochen looked at Jia Lian through his fingers, and his eyes fell on his feet.There is a shadow, it is a living person!

"You...are you alive?" Zhaochen turned his head and hit Jiang Zining, "You brat, if you dare to fool me, I'll tell you he can't die."

"Hey, that's not right, you have nothing to do, what are you asking me to do with the King of Beijing, aren't you trying to kill me!"

Seeing that Zhaochen was still the same, Jia Lian chuckled twice.

Zhaochen didn't hear the explanation and was even more anxious.

Xing'er bowed and said in a soft voice: "Master Zhao, don't worry, this time it's only his death."

"Really?" Zhaochen rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "That's a good thing."

"Why, did he offend you too?" Jia Lian immediately grasped the point.

Zhaochen glanced at him with a guilty conscience, pulled Jia Lian and said in a low voice, "I'm not afraid to tell you, I also think he's a bit shady. I don't know if you know about the incident where his concubine fell into the water? Press me from the top, and put this matter to rest." I did it quietly. There were bruises on the fingers of the corpse, as if someone had stepped on it. I was skeptical at the time, but so many witnesses had testimonies, so I couldn’t ask any questions. At that time, I heard that there was a family The little girl was playing near the ferry, and she saw this happen, and when I went to look for it, what a coincidence? The little girl's family moved away."

"Unfortunately, this is the inevitable result." Jia Lian looked at Zhaochen indifferently, "These five cars are witnesses, and each of them must be taken care of so that no mistakes can be made. I advise you to start the trial today to avoid long nights and dreams. "

"Wuche witness?" Zhaochen sighed in surprise and nodded to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian also nodded at him, but didn't say anything specific, and only let Zhaochen interrogate himself, he was in a hurry to go to the palace to face the saint.The role of the gold medal bestowed by the emperor is only temporary, and the most important thing is to tell the emperor to ask for the imperial edict.

After Zhaochen watched Jia Lian leave, he was still in a dazed state.Xing'er went back with Zhaochen, and when the witnesses got off the car, Xing'er introduced them one by one.

The first one to come out was Jia Lian's car, and a woman in ordinary clothes came out.

"This is Aunt Qi, a disguised peasant woman in Meixiang Village..." Xing'er continued to explain the origin of Meixiang Village, and then explained to Zhaochen, "Actually, all the people in Meixiang Village are subordinates of King Jingjing."

The next car was full of 'farmers' in shackles.

Xing'er: "These are all from Meixiang Village."

Then in the cars behind, when the curtain was lifted, all of them were big men tied up, their hands and feet were bound, their mouths were also gagged, and they all stared with big eyes, fiercely, making people feel a kind of power .It should be that the strength of the whole body is exhausted, and all of it is used to stare.

"These are dead soldiers in the Prince's Palace of Beijing. It is said that their ancestors fought with the old prince on the battlefield during the founding of the country. Now they dare to do such a dirty thing, and they all refuse to repent. Recognized." Xing'er pointed to the leader, "His name is Zhu Yuan, he is the leader of these dead men, and he should know more about it. These people originally planned to ambush my master in Kabaling, but later they ordered someone who was hiding three miles behind the mountain In the Earth Temple, people sent by General Shenwu took it away."

"You even dispatched General Shenwu?" Zhaochen was very surprised.

"The role of the gold medal." Xing'er bowed three times, begging Zhaochen to examine the case in detail, and convict him of a water-melting crime.Otherwise, his second master would be playing big this time.

Jia Lian is very confident that he can completely kill Shui Rong this time.Maybe Shui Rong still thinks that the evidence is insufficient, and he can go out safe and sound.In fact, the whole plan Jia Lian designed for him was to block all the evidence and make him powerless to resist.

Ever since his son was robbed, Jia Lian had been guarding against King Beijing. From the list of officials confessed by the eldest prince, he secretly reviewed them one by one, verified all the women he had killed, and made some arrangements in advance for some things.

A few days ago, Jia Lian deliberately targeted Shui Rong, and actively contacted many courtiers, which aggravated Shui Rong's suspicion and made him urgently attack him.Then a fire broke out in Xiaozaozhuang, and Jia Lian knew that the water soluble was hooked.After he left Beijing, he deliberately asked people to take the late Liu's mother back to the Duke of Zhen's mansion.The people in Shui Rong must be monitoring the movements in his mansion, this action will make Shui Rong even more flustered, and they will definitely attack him.

As for the Kabaling where the ambush was set up, it was easy to guess, just arrange people to follow and monitor the dead men in advance.

Jia Lian deliberately didn't go to Kabaling, pretended to pass by, and asked people to surround and suppress those dead soldiers on the spot, it was very simple.But in doing so, it will be impossible to catch Shui Rong after all, and there is no substantive evidence to prove the relationship between Shui Rong and this conspiracy.

So he had to make the situation outside Beijing complicated and confusing, and seduce Shui Rong, the backbone, to go out of Beijing to take command in person.Jia Lian also spread the rumor of deliberate obsession with Taoism in advance. When Shui Rong became suspicious, he couldn't find any reason to continue to doubt, and then put down his guard again.

In the end, Gou De Shui Rong wanted to kill him in Xiaolingzhuang.

Zhuangzi has many goals, and with his water-soluble personality, he will definitely think of "outsmarting".If you want to kill him in the safest and unobtrusive way, you will naturally consider the possibility of an acquaintance committing the crime.Aunt Qi, the only woman in Meicao Village who has connections with Xiaolingzhuang, naturally became their best candidate.

As for this Aunt Qi, Jia Lian had already been in touch with her.When Jia Lian checked the identity of the woman who was killed by water dissolution, she found out her real identity by the way.Aunt Qi is the biological mother of Shizuka, one of the maidservants who died in the palace six years ago.In such a long time, probably even Shui Rong might not remember this person.

Jingxiang was sent to the palace by Aunt Qi when she was seven years old. At that time, Aunt Qi was to get money for her eldest son to marry a wife.Six years later, 13-year-old Shizuka suddenly committed suicide in the palace without warning.Aunt Qi's family was then sent away with money by the people of the palace.Aunt Qi was suspicious, because her daughter had happily told her before she died: the son of the world has taken a fancy to her, the son of the son likes to spy on her taking a bath, and the master of the son of the world wants her to go to the lake to wash.

Aunt Qi's suspicions became deeper and deeper, and so did her guilt. Later, after she settled down with her children, she changed her name and surname and entered the palace. She secretly found out about Shui Rong's habit, and vowed to avenge her daughter.It's a pity that she spent three years in the palace, and finally she didn't have the opportunity to get close to the water. Instead, she was sent far away outside Beijing to disguise herself as a peasant woman.When Aunt Qi was getting discouraged, she was suddenly found by the people from the Zhen Guogong's mansion...

Imperial City, inside the Royal Study Room.

The sudden arrival of Jia Lian made the emperor, who was already in a good mood, look cloudy.

"If there is no hard evidence, it's not easy to explain to her old man. But if the evidence of Shui Rong's crime is solid and the Queen Mother is speechless, I will definitely support you." The emperor's tone was very strict. If Shui Rong really committed a crime, he deserved to die. , but it was very troublesome for the Queen Mother to make trouble. Shui Rong's parents died early, and the Queen Mother really loved him as much as her own son, and loved him even more than anyone else. "You said before that your son was kidnapped, but it was actually done by Shui Rong, but there is no evidence. Are you sure you have captured real evidence for this incident?"

"Yes!" Jia Lian replied.Jia Lian had already said something to let the emperor know his doubts about that matter.Only by communicating with the emperor in advance, can he be easily accepted by the emperor for his arrogance today, otherwise all his efforts will be in vain when the emperor gets angry.

"Before you do something this time, you should tell me in advance." Hearing Jia Lian's explanation that the incident happened suddenly, the emperor didn't blame him too much, and sighed, "Then you can talk about it carefully."

"We have to start with the minister investigating the death of his concubine... He felt threatened, so he deliberately set fire to Xiaozaozhuang this time to lure the minister out. Fortunately, the minister made preparations early, so he planned and spared him. Afterwards, he changed his plan. Send someone to poison the minister's food. The poison is very special. I heard that it is a secret medicine popular among the nobles in the south. It is very difficult and expensive. Just now, Mr. Zhao and Jiang Zining have found the remaining The half-bottle of poison that I bought. Coupled with the authentication of Aunt Qi, this matter can be regarded as complete. The dead soldiers who arranged to assassinate the minister have been captured and all of them are kept alive. It's just that the interrogation is a bit troublesome, but fortunately The leader among them is Zhu Yuan, and he has a family." Jia Lian said the last sentence very coldly.

"Family?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Jia Lian, could you be..."

"Your Majesty, when they harmed my minister, they did not use any means, even their newborn son." Jia Lian said coldly.

"That's right, it's feasible to use his family members to threaten them when necessary." The emperor stretched his neck and sighed, "Those things about maids, beauties, and concubines are all true? Shui Rong... Really with this kind of thing For fun?"

"According to the investigation by the minister, this is basically the case for all the women who fell into the water after he came into contact with it." Jia Lian glanced at the emperor meaningfully, and saw his eyes suddenly froze. The suspicious emperor had already thought about Concubine Yugui. I will not say more.The emperor's family affairs are inconvenient for courtiers to intervene, and besides, he doesn't want to know about royal scandals.

Jia Lian continued the previous topic, saying that he had found the family of Liu Shi, a deceased beauty in the palace a few years ago.

"Your Majesty sent someone to find out at the first trial, and the prime minister is also conducting related investigations. He may have more gains."

"How many lives are lost! They are all young beauties! How can they do it!" The emperor suddenly cooled down, slapped the table and cursed, and then ordered Yin Zhaochen of Gyeonggi Prefecture to have an audience immediately, and ordered the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, The Metropolitan Procuratorate will try together.As for Concubine Yu, he will send his secret guards to investigate secretly.

"Your Majesty, there are too many people, and if the interrogation of this matter takes too long, the protection of witnesses..." Jia Lian intentionally omitted the second half of the sentence.

The emperor immediately said: "The witnesses are protected by General Shenwu and Jiang Zining. Without the consent of the two of them, no one is allowed to see them without permission. Every meal should be strictly inspected."

Jia Lian made sure that Shui Rong didn't have a chance to stand up, so he bowed and left.The emperor hurriedly ordered people to temporarily block the news from the queen mother.Before Shui Rong was convicted, he didn't want to hear the Queen Mother sobbing.

After leaving the palace, Jia Lian ran home and saw Jingxin sitting on the couch quietly embroidering flowers as usual.The child was lying beside her, sleeping soundly under the quilt, spitting from the corner of his mouth.Jia Lian's heart immediately felt at peace, and he sat beside Jingxin and the child with a smile on his face.
