To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

The sky in Yongjiang was also gloomy.

The road was covered with rain, and it had been raining for several days.

Jiang Jing and Song Wang did not alert the government, but started an investigation secretly. It was night time and there was no one around. Since the Cai family was wiped out, all the residents here moved away.

I dare not appear on this street at all.

Ming Heng pried open the door lock and carefully removed the seal. After the young master and Lord Song entered, he put it back on.

Jiang Jing turned on the flashlight and shone it around.

Song Wang said faintly: "Give me one."

After getting the flashlight, he studied it left and right.

"You are very lucky to have met Miss Jiu."

Jiang Jing raised the corner of his mouth, "Well, it is indeed my luck."

The Cai family's house was very large, and all the valuables inside had been emptied out by the government and turned over to the national treasury. According to the government, no valuables were taken away.

Jiang Jing said: "He is not after money, but only kills. He is decisive and leaves no one alive. His plan is thorough and his hatred is deep. This case is easy to solve, but I am afraid it will be difficult to catch the perpetrator."

The world is so big, maybe he has already escaped to the ends of the earth.

He and Song Wang walked around Cai's house several times but still found nothing. Until they went out the door, they looked up and saw a piece of cloth hanging on the tree, and Mingheng took it down.

Song Wang said: "This material doesn't look like something that ordinary people can wear."

Jiusu and Xiuying opened Jinxiu Pavilion together. Jiang Jing also paid attention to the fabric. He thought: "It looks like the soft smoke silk from Huzhou. This material is expensive and ordinary people really can't afford it."

Jiang Jing ordered Ming Heng to go to Huzhou to investigate.

When it was daybreak, they left Cai's house and went to the county government office. They went through a cumbersome process. The county magistrate was very enthusiastic and insisted on hosting a banquet. The two did not refuse and went to the place prepared by the county magistrate.

Zuixianlou, just listening to it will make you linger.

Even the prefect of Nancheng came.

The dancer was beautiful and always flirted with the two men, but Jiang Jing and Song Wang didn't even look up.

The prefect asked cautiously, "Are you two adults dissatisfied with them?"

Jiang Jing said: "With an unsolved case on my mind, I naturally have no mood for fun. Does the prefect have any opinion on this case?"

The prefect raised his hand and sent the dancer away.

The private room suddenly became quiet, and the only sound was the sound of people putting down their chopsticks. Both Mr. Jiang and Mr. Song had stopped eating, so who would dare to eat?

He sighed and said, "I suspect it was a revenge killing."

Jiang Jing and Song Wang looked at each other, took a sip of the wine, which was a little spicy, and paused. He said, "Sir, can you tell me in detail who the enemy is? Didn't the government interrogate him?"

The prefect gave the county magistrate a look.

The county magistrate smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you don't know. Those were all mistakes that Cai Qi made when he was young. It has been a long time. I don't know the specific circumstances."

Jiang Jing asked: "Do you have any information about that family?"

The county magistrate hesitated for a few seconds; he did not prepare in advance.

"We have to go to the government office to check this."

Jiang Jing was just about to find an excuse to leave when suddenly, the person next to him stood up abruptly, as if frightened by something. He tilted his head and asked with a vigilant look, "What's wrong?"

Song Wang's back stiffened and he clenched his fists.

He looked at the bewildered woman with anger on his face, "What are you doing?"

The woman's eyes were full of affection: "Master Song, I will serve you."

Song Wang frowned. He realized that his reaction was too big. He sat down again, kept a distance from her, and said, "I don't need you to serve me. Go back to your seat and eat."

As the Minister of Justice, he is extremely sensitive to the people and things around him.

This girl must be someone's daughter.

The prefect introduced them, "Yingying and Yanyan are my daughters. You two are tired from the journey, so let them take care of you personally."

Song Wang refused again.

"Need not."

The prefect said anxiously: "They are innocent..."

"Your Excellency the prefect." Jiang Jing interrupted him, "We are here to investigate a case. We have no intention of getting drunk, so we won't disturb your leisure time. Please, the county magistrate, take us to investigate the family that Cai Qi killed."

The county magistrate looked at the prefect.

The prefect had no choice but to agree. He took the others and escorted them to the entrance of Zuixianlou. When they and the county magistrate were far away, he turned around and rolled his eyes.

Go back to where you were and drink alone.

"Why would the Emperor send someone so stubborn?"

A colleague laughed and said, "It seems that in recent years, these young ministers are very old-fashioned, saying that they should serve the country and the people first, and the world first. In addition to the two adults Jiang and Song, isn't there An Jia?"

The prefect smiled with sarcasm.

"Serving the country and the people? Serving the world first? That sounds good. When we were officials, we all did that. What has happened to us now? Some adults should not be unwilling to do so and think that they are still noble.

It's the difference between being greedy and being greedy. Time will slowly assimilate them, and they will eventually become ours."

He ordered people to clean up Jiang Jing and Song Wang's residence.

Sent the two daughters over.

At the same time, the county magistrate was in the yamen, struggling to find the case files.

"My Lords, this is it."

Jiang Jing scanned the case file and frowned: "Five years in prison for accidentally killing someone while drunk, is this punishment too light?"

The county magistrate smiled awkwardly and said, "The Cai family is powerful and wealthy, so they redeemed the man. Five years is a long time, and this was a ruling made under pressure from the government."

The address and name are on the file.

They followed the path.

Rowing a small boat, which was swaying and almost capsized, Song Wang took a deep breath and didn't dare to get wet. He still had a hand-painted amulet given by Qiu Man in his arms.

I don’t know if you got wet?

After landing, the area was extremely vast. Jiang Jing felt an indescribable desolation in his heart. There were only a few houses, some of which had been demolished. When they got closer, they found that this was an uninhabited village.

The rain washed the house very clean.

Baijia is very close to the shore. The door is covered with moss, but you can still see traces of blood. As the weeds take root and sprout, however, it is among the piles of grass.

But there is an empty space.

Next to it was a pile of grass that had been pulled out.

Jiang Jing looked at the burnt grass around him and said, "It seems that someone from the Bai family came here not long ago to pay tribute to their family members. I don't know if they came here before or after the Cai family was exterminated."

Song Wang said: "Both situations are possible. There seems to be someone living in the front. Shall we go and take a look?"

The village is brand new and you can tell at first glance that it has only been here for a few years.

It was raining heavily and every household stayed indoors. Some who happened to see strangers would drop what they were holding and run back into the house. They guessed that the original villagers were afraid that the Cai family would go crazy, so they moved here.

They stayed indoors for fear of losing their lives.

The village built a gate and the villagers took turns to stand guard voluntarily.

"Our village does not entertain strangers. Please go somewhere else, gentlemen."

Song Wang said: "It's raining heavily, can we take shelter from the rain?"

The villagers were extremely vigilant. Even if they had a good first impression of them, they could not just open the door. After all, so what if they looked like good people? Even if they were really good people, they could not resist their ambitions.

Theirs is the only village within a radius of twenty miles.

"I'm sorry, we don't allow outsiders into our village. You should go somewhere else."
