Shenjing, Ningguo Mansion.
The attack on Jia Zhen caused a stir in the city, and almost all noble people in Shenjing got the news.
Many people close to Jia Mansion also came to visit Jia Zhen one after another. Even the emperor heard about it and sent eunuchs from the palace to inquire about the specific situation and appointed people from Jingzhao Mansion to investigate the matter. , and bring justice to Ningguo Mansion.
It's just that this incident happened strangely. The gangsters had their faces covered and were wearing black clothes. The number of people could not be determined yet. The crime occurred at night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. No witnesses saw the murder. A person’s true face.
Even Jia Qiang, the witness who was the first to scream for help, shook his head after waking up and said: "It was very dark that night. I really didn't see how many of these robbers there were and what they looked like. "
They are tall, short, fat and thin. I don’t know how many there are.
This kind of case without any clues cannot be investigated at all.
Simply, Jia Zhen thought about it for a long time and then recalled that he might have heard at least two or three people talking that night. He recalled this person's name from the names Jia Yun deliberately revealed, and looked at the person in front of him. The government officer who came to inquire arrested the head and said, "One of these robbers is named Bai Zhantang."
"Bai Zhantang? I have never heard of such a person in the world!"
The head catcher responsible for investigating the case was also a well-known catcher in Shenjing, named Zhang Zhao. After he learned the ins and outs of this matter, he could not find a clue, let alone within the stipulated time. This case was closed.
For a moment, the pressure in his heart doubled, like a five-fingered mountain weighing on his heart, making him breathless.
"Bai Zhantang? I'm afraid it's a lie!"
After thinking for a moment, he judged based on his daily experience in solving cases that this should be a misleading signal and should not be taken seriously.
"Has there been any damage to property in the house recently?" Zhang Zhao looked at Jia Zhen lying on the hospital bed and asked thoughtfully.
The bandits who invaded Ningguo Mansion were just here to seek wealth. As long as they could find the place where these people sold their stolen goods, they could follow the clues and find the bandits behind the scenes.
Jia Zhen was also stunned when he heard this. He really couldn't answer this matter. He quickly looked at Youshi and others beside him and asked, "Is there any property missing in the house?"
"some."
When Qin Keqing's maid Baozhu saw this, she also stood up, looked at Zhang Zhao and Jia Zhen, and said, "Young lady's jewelry was lost. It happened before."
After saying this, the maid next to Jia Xichun came to her senses. She stepped forward and muttered, "My lady also lost some of her jewelry."
For a time, the problem of theft in Ningguo Mansion was brought to the fore.
In the past, maids and slaves had dirty hands and feet, and things in the treasury were stolen from time to time.
Jia Zhen is mediocre and incompetent, Jia Rong only cares about romance, and Lai Er, the housekeeper of Ningguo Mansion, is also a corrupt leader. From top to bottom, there is no one in the family who is not greedy and no one is clean.
Therefore, the atmosphere in Ningguo Mansion is even worse than that in Rongguo Mansion at certain times.
At least the Rongguo Mansion still has the support of a hottie like Wang Xifeng, who manages the housework of the Rongguo Mansion. The upper and lower affairs are at least handled properly, and are not as full of loopholes as the Ningguo Mansion.
Having a reason and hearing the voice, Zhang Zhao also had a plan in mind.
"Since we can't find those robbers, it's better to arrest these slaves who stole things in Ningguo Mansion and torture them severely. We're not afraid that they won't admit their guilt."
Jia Yun's seamless plan left Zhang Zhao unable to start.
It is unlikely that anyone would really suspect Jia Yun, Jia Qiang and others.
After all, Jia Yun and the others did not take away any needle or thread in Ning Guo Mansion. They just came and beat Jia Zhen violently, just for the sake of beating people.
This kind of thing did not lead to a life-threatening lawsuit. After a few days of recuperation, Jia Zhen's health is getting better day by day. The Jingzhao Mansion was unable to catch the real robber and murderer, and the emperor and courtiers were nervous under pressure, so Zhang Zhao used some simple means to arrest the servants of Ningguo Mansion. After being tortured, he finally got a trump card, which was enough to make a deal.
.......
Jingzhao Mansion, back hall.
Han Dongfang, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, was sitting on the master's chair. He was wearing an official uniform embroidered with peacocks, and the official hat on his head was decorated with sapphire. He was quite dignified and elegant. He stroked the tea cup in his hand with his right hand and blew a breath of hot air. , took a slow breath, then turned to look at Zhang Zhao beside him, and said: "How is your investigation of the Ningguo Mansion case going?"
"My lord, this matter has been investigated clearly. They are some unscrupulous slaves from the Ningguo Mansion. They stole property from the treasury on weekdays. They were caught by Mr. Zhen. Then they had evil thoughts and took the opportunity to take revenge."
Zhang Zhao didn't want to meddle in matters within the Ningguo Mansion, as long as he could do business.
As for what Jia Zhen thinks about this matter!
Jia Zhen has no opinion on this.
He couldn't tell the specific reason.
You can't say that you have fallen in love with Jia Qiang's male beauty, so you have a tryst with Jia Qiang in the bamboo forest in the backyard of Ningguo Mansion!
If word of this gets out, what's the point?
You must know that no matter what Jia Qiang says, she is still an upright great-great-grandson of Ningguo Mansion, not a servant, a servant, or those family-born children with no social status, such as Yu Ai and Jin Rong.
As the eldest boss of Ningguo Mansion and the patriarch of the entire Ningguo Mansion family, if Jia Zhen was known to have such a dirty move in her heart, she would not have the shame to go out to see people, and she would even be punished by the emperor.
Words involving the dignity of the Jia family cannot be spread.
As the saying goes, “Don’t make a family scandal public!”
Jia Zhen didn't say anything, and he didn't want to settle the matter. In fact, he also knew in his heart that the world was so big that the robber had already hidden somewhere.
If the robber hid in the deep mountains and old forests, I'm afraid he would have no choice but to endure it even if he felt aggrieved.
Zhang Zhao saw clearly and distinctly the household affairs of these dignitaries, but was unwilling to pay attention to such matters.
There were no cases where lives were at stake, so he just waved away favors and scenes, not wanting to get involved too deeply, lest he get into trouble.
After taking the file handed over by Zhang Zhao, Han Dongfang didn't want to delve into it further, so he nodded, pressed it down, and said, "Has the prisoner signed it?"
"Sir, these things have been taken care of."
This is not the first time Zhang Zhao has handled this kind of case, and he answered understandingly.
"Okay, that's it."
Han Dongfang smiled slightly and said: "This is really a good thing! The imperial court ordered us to solve the case within a month, and we solved the case in three days. His Majesty Long Yan is very happy. The reward will definitely be yours and mine."
