Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Someone almost died of poisoning in Deyue Tower, so Jingzhao Prefecture was naturally very concerned. However, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture was not in the capital, but had gone to another county to handle a case, so Shao Yin Jiang Mu could only come first.

Jiang Mu was young and lacked experience in handling cases, so the prefect assigned him two captains of police who had experience in handling cases. He was very confident when he came to Deyue Tower.

A group of yamen runners from Jingzhao Prefecture came on horseback, and Yu Yunzhao came to greet them as soon as they arrived at the entrance of Deyue Tower.

"Master Jiang, long time no see. I'm really sorry to have you come here in person today. I'll treat you to Juyi Tower some other day. My brother Heng is still thinking about you."

Yu Yunzhao sounded very familiar with Jiang Mu in his words, which showed that they had a close friendship.

"Okay, okay. Someone came to report to the police and said he was poisoned by eating poisonous mushrooms. Where is that person?"

"It's at Deyue Tower. We just said that the wild mushroom stewed with pheasant sold at Deyue Tower is likely to cause problems. They are so ruthless in order to make money that they not only refused to listen to our advice, but also came up to beat us up."

"Please look at what my sister has been beaten into by them, sir."

Yu Yunzhao pulled Yu Hongxiu over as he spoke. Jiang Mu looked at Yu Hongxiu's pig-like face and almost laughed out loud.

Who hit someone so hard? The rest of Yu Hongxiu's face was fine, only her mouth was swollen.

"It was a pretty strong fight."

Jiang Mu glanced at Yu Hongxiu and led his men towards Deyue Tower.

He had been the prefect of Jingzhao for some time and knew that no matter what happened, one should not jump to conclusions. He also wanted to look at the poisoned people and listen to what they said.

As soon as he entered the lobby of Deyue Building, Jiang Mu looked up and saw Ye Jintang sitting on a chair.

He was so frightened that he lost his balance and nearly fell flat on his face.

Seeing other people in the hall standing up and greeting him, he vaguely guessed that Ye Jintang's appearance here should not reveal his identity.

"It seems that Lord Jiang is quite familiar with the Yu sisters."

"No, I used to play with Liang Heng. Now I am the Junior Yin of Jingzhao and I am busy with official duties. I don't play with those playboys anymore."

Jiang Mu was afraid that Ye Jintang would misunderstand, so he quickly explained.

"Well, it's okay to know each other. You just have to be fair and just."

Then Ye Jintang's female official Wu Shiyun recounted in detail what had just happened.

"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. I wonder how Lord Jiang will deal with it."

Ye Jintang looked at the very young Jiang Mu. She was actually a little afraid that he had too little experience in handling cases and would not be able to solve such a complicated case.

"I will bring all the people involved in the case back to Jingzhao Prefecture for questioning. The specific verdict will have to wait until I personally finish the trial before I decide."

"Okay, then I'll do as you say."

Ye Jintang gave Xu Guixiang a few more instructions before going upstairs to bring Xiao Mo and the three children down.

Jiang Mu didn't expect to see Xiao Mo here in person. He felt a little weak at the first sight.

"That, that?"

Jiang Mu didn't know how to address Xiao Mo for a moment, as he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing as soon as he opened his mouth.

"No need to be so polite, just handle the case well, we'll go back first."

Xiao Mo looked at Jiang Mu, who was dressed in an official uniform and looked quite presentable. A hint of smile appeared on his face. He held Nuan Nuan in his arms and walked out of Deyue Tower very calmly, with Ye Jintang following closely behind.

A carriage stopped in front of Deyue Tower.

Yu Yunzhao saw Xiao Mo head on, and her heart skipped a beat. Xiao Mo's aura was much stronger than Ye Jintang's.

Ye Jintang is introverted, while Xiao Mo is like a sharp sword that has been through many battles, exuding hostility wherever he stands.

Yu Yunzhao couldn't guess his origins, but when he saw Ye Jintang's family was about to leave, he stepped forward and stopped them from leaving.

"You beat my sister and you want to leave? Don't even think about it."

Xiao Mo held Nuannuan in his arms and glanced at Yu Yunzhao casually. He frowned slightly, and walked towards the carriage without saying a word.

At this moment, no one knew if Yu Yunzhao had lost her mind, she took a quick step forward and tried to stop Xiao Mo from getting on the carriage.

The moment she rushed up, Xiao Mo raised his long legs and kicked Yu Yunzhao to the ground.

She was not young anymore, and she was almost killed by that kick.

"Master Jiang, help! Help! Someone is killing someone."

Jiang Mu was talking to Niu Guangping in the lobby. When he heard Yu Yunzhao's voice, he looked outside and saw Xiao Mo's back as he raised his legs to get into the carriage. Yu Yunzhao on the ground tried to pull him but failed.

Jiang Mu's eyes widened unconsciously. Yu Yunzhao could pick on anyone else, but pick on Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo could kill all nine of his clans with just one word.

Ye Jintang, who followed closely behind, also got into the carriage and left without saying a word.

Sitting in the carriage, she lifted the curtain and took a look at Yu Yunzhao who had crawled up from the ground to complain to Jiang Mu. She always felt as if she had seen him somewhere.

"Brother Xiao, do you feel that Yu Yunzhao looks familiar?"

"Oh."

Reminded by Ye Jintang, Xiao Mo also looked over from the carriage window. Yu Yunzhao happened to be looking towards the carriage. Looking at her angry face, Xiao Mo suddenly had a sense of déjà vu.

"It looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it before."

"Well, let Jiang Mu investigate her carefully to find out her background."

After the two returned to the palace and settled their three children, they went to the imperial study to handle government affairs without much rest.

I have to say that it is not tiring for a man and a woman to work together. They chat and laugh, discuss and work together, and they handle government affairs quickly, and time passes quickly as well.

Jin Yuan brought tea and snacks, and the sun was already setting.

"The canals in various places are very well built, but they cost too much money. I only paid half of the money, and now it feels like the money in the treasury is flowing out like water."

"We can't help it. The major canals were poorly maintained in the past. If we don't spend money and make ruthless efforts to repair them, if there is another heavy rainstorm this summer, we don't know how many places will burst the dikes."

"Well, this money must be spent."

As the two were talking, Jin Yuan brought in a memorial and said that it was delivered by Jiang Mu himself.

"Has Jiang Mu finished the case? He's quite fast."

Xiao Mo took the letter and read it while saying, "That Wang Minhua is a coward. He confessed everything as soon as Jiang Mu lied to him, saying that it was Yu Hongxiu who ordered him to frame Deyue Tower. However, Yu Hongxiu didn't give him such poisonous mushrooms, but some less poisonous ones."

"Yu Hongxiu's original intention was to let Wang Minhua eat poisonous mushrooms and get poisoned, so that Deyue Tower could no longer operate. Who would have thought that Wang Minhua was such a vicious person, and he took this opportunity to poison Jun to death and seize his property."

"It seems to be about what I guessed."

Ye Jintang felt at the time that Wang Minhua was not a good person, as he even dared to poison his own good friend.

"Who are the Yu sisters? They seem quite arrogant and seem to have a background."
