Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

After hearing Jin Ji's description, Jiang Jinyan's first reaction was that Jin Ji was framed.

Jin Ji was very scared, and he couldn't figure out who was trying to frame him. "Brother, please save me. I am really innocent. I didn't kill anyone."

"Calm down, I believe in you, we will definitely save you." Jiang Jinyan said, "Was your trip to buy silk threads planned or was it a spur of the moment decision? Where did you go to buy the silk threads and who did you contact? Tell me the whole story."

"In the past, silk collection was planned. They had to prepare the silk and I would inspect the silk before taking it away. Yesterday, I suddenly received a message from Boss Yu. He said that a batch of silk threads had been cancelled by someone else and he wanted to return it to me at a low price. He asked me to go and see the silk. I thought the weaving workshop also wanted it and Boss Yu's silk was good, so I went..."

Jiang Jinyan said: "So it was not your intention to leave Beijing, but someone asked you to go. Where is Boss Yu from and what is his name?"

"His name is Yu Dong, we all call him Yu Lao Ba. His family is from Xingfu Village. He often helps the villagers sell goods. Everyone knows him and he has a wide network of contacts. If we are short of goods in the cloth shop business, we will ask him to help find the goods. He can also earn some hard-earned money by selling them to us. We have had business dealings in the past."

"Brother, is he going to harm me?" Jin Ji asked again. In his impression, Yu Dong was a good person, and he couldn't believe that Yu Dong would frame him.

"There is no such coincidence in the world. There must be something wrong with Yu Lao Ba." Jiang Jinyan said in a deep voice: "Think about other details. Did you meet any suspicious people in the inn? Does Yu Lao Ba know that you live in this inn?"

"He knows." Jin Ji said with certainty.

"Yesterday I collected the silk thread and prepared to go home. He said it was too late and wanted to let me stay in the village for one night. I didn't stay, thinking about returning early. Yu Lao Ba said he would not keep me. If it gets dark, there is an inn called Fulai Inn on the road. Let me stay for one night. Don't walk at night. He also said it might rain at night. People in our industry are most afraid of water and fire. Silk thread will be damaged if it rains...

When we passed by Fulai Inn, everyone was hungry, so I took everyone into the inn to find something to eat. We didn't plan to stay overnight, and when we woke up it was the next morning, and something had happened.

I brought two servants with me, and we rode in the same carriage. The goods were all in the carriage. Where were my goods and my servants? They can testify for me.

Jiang Jinyan knew Fulai Inn, and that they were originally a couple of very kind people. This shop was not a black shop. He said, "I'm afraid the owner of this inn has been replaced a long time ago, and someone is waiting for you to fall into the trap."

"Yes, yes, that's right, the owner has changed. When I entered the store, I specifically asked about Uncle Fu's whereabouts, and the waiter said that the previous owner had returned to his hometown and sold the store to someone else."

"There's no need to stay in an inn now that you're home. Boss Yu even specifically reminded you to stay in a hotel. You and your friends can go straight into the city." Jiang Jinyan said.

Jin Ji said again: "Yes, why should I go to the inn? Wouldn't it be fine if I just come back? If I don't go to the inn and don't eat, no one can frame me."

Jiang Jinyan thought there were loopholes everywhere, the key was that the person who died was Li Cheng's wife Shu Xue. The relationship between the Li family and the Jiang family was not good to begin with, and now the Li family will be even more relentless.

In order to find out the real cause of Shu Xue's death, they had to ask a coroner to examine her body, and the Li family had no choice but to make this trip.

Jiang Jinyan said: "Just stay here for now. Only by finding the real murderer can you clear your name."

He still had to find the two guys. Why hadn't they been sent to the authorities?

Jin Ji said again: "Big brother."

Seeing that he was mentally exhausted and covered in wounds, Jiang Jinyan handed him a bottle of ointment to reduce swelling: "Take care of yourself."

Jin Ji nodded heavily, "Don't tell Meng Meng that I was caught. She will be scared. Just say that I'm on business and haven't come back yet."

"Second sister already knows."

"She must be very worried. It's all my fault. I've been doing business for so many years, but I didn't even have this much vigilance. It's all my fault..."

"You can't be blamed for this. Someone wanted to harm the Jiang family. You are the son-in-law of the Jiang family, so they did that to you. The Jiang family should apologize to you." Jiang Jinyan said, "You have suffered."

"Brother has already told you that I am the son-in-law of the Jiang family and a member of the Jiang family. If I die, brother will take care of Mengmeng for me." Jin Ji is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that Jiang Rumeng will be sad.

Jiang Jinyan said: "The Jiang family will not let anything happen to you."

At this moment, someone suddenly came outside the cell, and the bailiff ran in quickly, "Master Jiang, hurry up, someone is coming."

"Who is coming at this late hour?"

"Master Zhang is outside, and it seems to be someone from the Ministry of Justice. Master, please leave quickly. It will be difficult for Master Zhang to report you if you appear in the prison without permission."

Jiang Jinyan followed the bailiff to the other side.

Zhang Anyu stopped Minister Wang who came to pick up the man and said, "I have not received any order to send Jin Ji to the Ministry of Justice. I am still investigating the case..."

"If Jingzhao Prefecture can't investigate clearly, let the Ministry of Justice investigate! This case is serious, and the Minister of Justice has personally ordered the criminal to be brought to the Ministry of Justice for examination." Minister Wang was not polite at all.

Zhang Anyu deliberately said, "I know that the Ministry of Justice can come to arrest someone in a major case, but there is no need to come in the middle of the night to arrest someone! Lord Wang is too impatient."

Minister Wang sneered, "I am only following orders. Lord Zhang is really conscientious and responsible. He is still guarding outside the cell door so late. Could it be that something happened to the prisoner in Jingzhao Prefecture? I will go in and take a look."

Zhang Anyu heard the hidden meaning in his words. He was just talking nonsense to buy time for Jiang Jinyan. He added, "I am naturally investigating a case. What can happen to the prisoner? He is very safe. Didn't Lord Wang rush to Jingzhao Prefecture to pick him up late at night? Speaking of fulfilling one's responsibilities, Lord Wang is the most responsible. I am ashamed of myself. However, this case is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture. Lord Wang, please go back!"

Wang Mian frowned slightly, "Master Zhang should know who was killed by Jin Ji! The niece of Minister Shu, the daughter-in-law of Minister Li..."

"No matter who died, I will handle it impartially. I will not let a bad guy go, nor will I wrongly accuse a good guy." Zhang Anyu knew that if the person was really taken away by the Ministry of Justice, the Jiang family would be in a passive position. He investigated the case and found many doubts.

He added, "Lord Wang, do you think that the only reason you are so busy in the Ministry of Justice is because the people who died are from the families of Minister Shu and Minister Li. If it was an ordinary citizen who died, you would not care."

Wang Mian's eyes were full of anger. "When did I say that? Zhang Anyu, you are just a small prefect of Jingzhao. Are you saying these things to discredit the Ministry of Justice? This case is already a major criminal case. It is rape and murder. The means are cruel and the crime is unforgivable. The Ministry of Justice intervened in the investigation to give justice to the deceased. Lord Zhang did not let me in. Is it because there is someone inside who is Lord Zhang's acquaintance?"

He added: "I heard that Master Zhang is close to the Jiang family. Could it be that Master Zhang wants to help the son-in-law of the Jiang family escape punishment?"
