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

Song Wang took out some silver, but it was of no avail, and he said a lot of nice things.

They still refused.

He took out the token.

"Minister of Justice Song Wang is here to investigate the case. Please cooperate with me."

The villagers knelt on the ground in a hurry and kowtowed, saying, "Sir, what do you want to ask? We really don't know. Please spare our lives."

Those who come here just want to know what happened to the Bai family and the Cai family in the past.

Before, people from the government came to investigate.

They cooperated very well, but were still severely beaten.

Later I found out that the Cai family deliberately sent people to test me. Anyone who dared to mention what happened back then would not have a good ending.

Jiang Jing looked at their faces and saw fear and panic. It had been more than ten years since this incident happened, but it had remained in their hearts for a long time. Someone must have brought it up repeatedly.

County magistrate?

No, it's impossible.

Before the Cai family was exterminated, they had great influence in Yongjiang. Ordinary government offices did not dare to reinvestigate the matter. Besides, the case had already been settled and no one was overturning the verdict.

It can only be that Cai Qi is afraid of what information they will reveal.

He kept testing, intimidating, and torturing me.

"The Cai family was wiped out."

The two people kneeling on the ground looked at each other and hesitated, but they had heard the story of the boy who cried wolf many times, with various reasons, to sum up, weren't they all tests?

Huang Shi shook his head: "Sir, we really don't know anything."

Suddenly, an anxious shout came from the village.

"Help! Xiaobao fell into the water!"

However, the water was flowing fast and they were about to be submerged, so no one dared to go into the water easily. Just as they were thinking, a stranger flew into the village using light skills, and they had no time to stop him.

The Huang brothers came to their senses and quickly chased after him.

"My lord, you cannot come in."

Plop—

Jiang Jing jumped into the water, used a heavy object, caught up with the child and grabbed his hand. Song Wang threw down a rope and worked together with the villagers to pull them up, with heavy rain falling on their faces.

It's cold.

The boy hugged his mother tightly for warmth.

Huang Shi knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you for saving my son's life, but you two adults are really not allowed to enter this village."

Jiang Jing bent down and helped Huang Shi up, a smile appeared on his lips. He looked at his wet clothes and said, "Can you lend me a piece of clothing? This is really uncomfortable to wear."

Hear the words.

Everyone in the village's expression changed.

Jiang Jing recalled that Cai Qi had used the excuse of heavy rain to enter the Bai family, and while he was drunk and it was late at night, he had evil intentions towards the women of the Bai family.

But the good thing was ruined.

In a rage, he killed the entire family.

He pulled out the sign.

"Dali Temple, Jiang Jing."

Are people from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice here?

Huang Shi whispered something in the village chief's ear. The village chief suppressed his confusion and motioned for Huang Shi to take the two of them to change clothes, while he ordered people to go to the county town to inquire.

I didn't expect this to happen.

The Cai family was really wiped out.

Jiang Jing changed his clothes, but everything was very quiet. He held an umbrella and met up with Song Wang, "Let's go back first."

The wooden door was opened and the villagers gathered under the shed, seemingly discussing something important.

I heard two adults coming out.

The village chief took the lead and knelt on the ground: "I have an unwelcome request. Can you two stop investigating the murderer of the Cai family? If it is really someone from the Bai family, then, then it is understandable."

This matter is about the "good guy" killing the "bad guy" and thus becoming the "bad guy".

Should we cover up the crime or impose severe punishment?

Song Wang and Jiang Jing can hide it.

But the Minister of Justice and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court are not allowed to do so.

Jiang Jing pondered: "It is understandable, and the guilt will be reduced, but do the other members of the Cai family deserve it? Should those innocent people also be killed?"

The village chief lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

Yes, no one deserved to die. It’s all Cai Qi’s fault. He deserved to die.

"I understand," he said, "That day, someone saw a fire starting where the Bai family lived. We bravely went to take a look and found a girl and a boy. They should be a couple."

Jiang Jing asked: "Did you see what he looks like?"

The village chief shook his head. "Based on their age, if anyone from the Bai family survived, it should be the Bai family's youngest daughter, Bai Yueyue, who is very good-looking. But the man seems to be weak and always coughing. It may be because it has been cold these past few days and he has caught a cold."

When we left, the rain had subsided a lot.

By the time they returned to the other side by boat, it was already dark.

They were temporarily staying in the county magistrate's residence, but when the two of them went in and saw a woman in scantily clad clothes, they immediately rushed out.

boom!

The two looked at each other.

Song Wang sneered: "You only do this kind of thing."

Yingying and Yanyan walked out, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying in unison: "It's cold at night, and lonely at night, so let me serve you!"

Jiang Jing returned to the house, took out his luggage, looked straight ahead, and said coldly.

"Please tell the two girls that we will find a place to stay. If you dare to bring up this kind of thing again, don't blame us for being rude. We are here to investigate a case, not to have fun!"

Leave with an umbrella.

Met the county magistrate at the door.

He met the county magistrate and repeatedly pleaded guilty.

Jiang Jing said: "If you have daughters, take good care of them. They are not tools for you to please others."

“Sir…” the county magistrate hurriedly caught up.

In the yard, only the two sisters were left shivering.

Yanyan rolled her eyes and heard laughter coming from the side: "Sister, what are you laughing at? You are being disliked, and you are still laughing."

Yingying asked: "So do you prefer a man with a smooth mouth to choose you, or do you prefer a gentleman to despise you? Didn't you hear what the gentleman said, that if you have a daughter, you must cherish her well?"

Her eyes were filled with love, and she kept staring at the place where he left, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

It was only until her sister dragged her into the house that she lowered her head and smiled shyly.

Yanyan smiled and said, "That's true. These two gentlemen have given us great respect. If we were married by them, we would definitely be very happy. However, it seems that Mr. Jiang is going to get married, and he is the daughter of the Li Mansion."

I have also heard something about the marquis's daughter.

Thinking of this, Yingying felt a pain in her heart. She covered her chest with tears in her eyes, "Could it be that girls like us from a small family can only be toyed with by others and have no right to choose happiness? Even if we become concubines?"

Yanyan sighed: "That Miss Li seemed to have said that he was not allowed to have other women, let alone concubines, even a maid to warm the bed was not allowed."

Yingying's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction: "Why is she so jealous? As long as Lord Jiang is willing, she can't stop him."

"Sister." Yanyan held her hand worriedly, "Don't do anything to offend adults."

There were few people in the inn, so the two of them got a superior room.

And from this position, one can see the direction of the Cai family very clearly.

midnight.

Jiang Jing seemed to hear some noise. He stood up and saw a man in white sneaking towards Cai's mansion. He climbed out, knocked on Song Wang's window and said to him.

"I'll go take a look, you stay."

Song Wang was worried: "Let's do it together. There is a difference between killing one official and killing two."

Jiang Jing said: "For them, there is no difference."
