"In the end, they will be crushed to ashes and no one will be left alive!"
Burn them all and scatter the ashes?
After everyone heard this order, they looked towards the bitten and mutilated corpses in the mass grave.
Are these all burned?
Zhu Zhaomo frowned and said aloud: "In addition to the corpses of the robbers, there are also the corpses of some refugees. It's not good to just burn them like this, right?"
Burning the body is already a cruel practice, but also crushing the bones and scattering ashes. This is simply not letting the dead people rest in peace even after death.
Besides, there is no need for the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion to vent their anger on these corpses.
If you wanted to achieve merit, you shouldn't have burned the half-recognizable corpse just now.
"Magistrate An."
Jiachu didn't bother to pay attention to the words of people who were not willing to obey his orders, and signaled to Magistrate An to arrange the matter.
The reason was already stated just now, but now in order to stop everyone from talking, another high-sounding reason was added.
"Prefect Jiang just crushed the mastermind behind the scenes to ashes, lest others would follow suit in the future. It was not a deterrent enough, so he burned them all. It is intended to tell everyone that no matter how big or small the evil is, whether they are the principal or an accomplice, the fate will be the same!"
Killers work for money.
They must have been asking for a lot of money from the young marquis. The young marquis thought they were so powerful, so he came here to rob and kill Ning Wuhao without even paying him the room fee in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Tobacco seeds are so important. If the robbery is successful, the young marquis waits until the limelight has passed and then pretends to get it from overseas. He can not only eliminate the incompetent Princess Xian, but also get a reward.
If it goes through, this will definitely be a big help to the Jin Palace. But if it fails, then they can only try to erase all traces that may be investigated and overturn the case.
"Magistrate An, I leave this matter to you. Prepare a thousand-mile BMW for me. I will go back to Beijing to report this matter to the prince, so that the prince will not know about it and let others take advantage of it."
Magistrate An, who had just speculated on Jia Chu's abnormal behavior, turned pale with fright when he heard this, and quickly took a look at the white dust on the ground.
At this time, his shoulders sank suddenly, and he was so frightened that he quickly turned around and saw Jia Chu pressing his hands on his shoulders, with only a pair of eyes showing cold murderous intent.
"Don't do unnecessary things, and don't inquire. Otherwise, no one will be able to keep your head."
threaten.
If there is no reason to be caught, why use threats?
Is there anything that County Magistrate An doesn't understand? He nodded like a fool, wishing to take out his heart for Jia Chu to see, and solemnly promised: "Guard A, please rest assured. I will use my official hat as security, except for what you told me." We will definitely not do anything else, and no more people will be sent to investigate the case.”
"Get your horses ready."
The prince doesn't know yet about the trouble that the young marquis has caused. He has to tell the prince quickly.
Lest the prince, like Magistrate An, try to grab credit and end up shooting himself in the foot.
Good thing.
Jia first took a look at the half-charred corpse, which had been burned to the point of being unrecognizable.
Fortunately, he arrived in time. Even if the prince really caused trouble, he would not be able to find out who was involved in Prince Jin's palace. It was just a matter of the young marquis. I don't know how the prince would deal with it.
…
On the palace corridor.
Su Peiyuan led King Jin and King Kang forward quickly.
Even sedans were not arranged for the two of them. They didn't need to inquire, and they knew that there was something more urgent than the last time they were summoned to the palace in the middle of the night.
"Mr. Su...what happened to my father?"
Since King Jin learned about the tobacco seeds, although he has made good progress in the past two days, starting from public and private matters, working together, and wooing the supervisor of the Agriculture Department to help him plant tobacco, he still feels uneasy.
Fortunately, his father lifted the confinement in his house and sent people to keep an eye on Prince Kang's house day and night.
They were afraid that King Kang would make another strange move in private, or that the Ning family would secretly hide the secret cultivation method. Under the guise of not taking sides, they had actually surrendered to King Kang.
But the surveillance people said that King Kang had no contact with the outside world at all, so if they were summoned tonight, it would definitely not be because of something wrong with the tobacco seed planting.
With the lawsuit on his forehead, Su Peiyuan glanced at the unaware King Jin and King Kang, and sighed before saying anything.
"Both princes, please don't pry. When you see your majesty soon, listen more and ask less. Your majesty will be the one to beat or scold you."
Beat and scold?
King Jin and King Kang looked at each other with subtle expressions.
They thought that something good would happen if they were summoned to the palace in the middle of the night, but they didn't expect it to be a bad thing.
The thing that can make the father so angry that he beats and scolds his children is either a disaster somewhere, and it is a serious natural disaster, or there is a man-made disaster somewhere.
Is it the war with the Western Region?
A dark light flashed in King Jin's eyes: It shouldn't be. Didn't the countries in the Western Regions agree to a temporary truce and wait for him to facilitate peace talks?
Seeing the imperial study room approaching and Shangshu Ji standing at the door, King Jin did not dare to think too much and mustered up his energy to cope with the big events that were about to happen next so that he could adapt accordingly.
When King Kang saw Ji Shangshu coming, his first thought was to start a war.
But when he got closer and saw that Ji Shangshu was empty-handed and there were five other Shangshu in the imperial study room, King Kang gave up the idea.
It's not a military matter.
"The two princes are here, please come in quickly."
As soon as Ji Shangshu opened his mouth, he knew that someone had been specially sent to greet them.
King Jin and King Kang contacted Su Peiyuan's reminder just now, and now their father's attention, but they became more and more confused.
It wasn't a war, but you were waiting for them to arrive. What was the important matter that not only called them, but also called six ministers?
Entering the royal study room, you can instantly feel that the atmosphere is very tense.
Among the five ministers who had already arrived, the oldest one, the minister of household affairs, was still yawning softly. Zhou Qian stared at him and continued to yawn with a low eyebrow.
When King Kang saw this scene, he knew that his father had not yet told the ministers in the palace what had happened.
In other words, this is something that is waiting for them to announce.
King Jin had the same idea. After thinking about it carefully, he found that the matter he and King Kang co-sponsored, now only one of them was left to grow tobacco seeds.
But the tobacco seeds haven't arrived in the capital yet, and they haven't had time to show off their merits and demerits. Isn't it too early for my father to ask them to fight and scold them?
"Old Ten and Old Fourteen, why don't you go inside when you are here and stand at the door, waiting for me to greet you in person?"
Zhou Qian spoke angrily. The yawning Minister of Hube shook slightly, and finally swallowed the yawn back into his stomach. He raised his head and stared at Zhou Qian in front of the pile of memorials with a serious look on his face.
When King Jin and King Kang were named, they naturally did not dare to neglect and walked forward.
Who knows.
After taking just two steps, Zhou Qian saw the two approaching his attack range.
He picked up the memorial spread out on the table and threw it at the two of them.
Snapped!
