Prince Yu's Mansion.

Jiang Ran, the general who thought that he might throw his life here, secretly breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Prince Yu's words.

"I will do my best to investigate."

But he thought to himself, how can I find this?

Just now, Prince Yu said that although Yijitang has been exterminated, and no one from top to bottom is left, this matter must continue to be investigated to see who hired a killer in Yijitang.

People are dead, where can I find out?

Prince Yu didn't blame Jiang Ran much, which was also beyond the expectations of Zeng Ling, the envoy of Jiedu, and when he came back, he still thought that maybe the life of his cronies was about to be explained.

"There you go."

Prince Yu waved his hand, and Jiang Ran, who had been pardoned, immediately withdrew from the study, and let out a long breath as soon as he went out.

For him, this thing can be regarded as being stabbed by a knife falling from the sky, and it didn't kill him, it was already a blessing in misfortune, his life was saved, and it made no difference whether the knife was pierced in the arm or the life-root-son.

But this case is so tricky, there is no way to investigate, even if the prince leaves a living mouth, not only does he leave a living mouth, but even the account books of his own hall are collected and stored by the people of the palace, and the festival envoy does not have it in the hands of the adults.

In the study, Prince Yu looked at Zeng Ling and said with a smile: "Do you think that I am going to put Jiang Ran to death?" ”

Zeng Ling said: "This person has such a major mistake, even if he is executed, it is nothing, he can be preserved, all thanks to the kindness and benevolence of the prince." ”

Prince Yu said: "Then tell me, why did I let him investigate Yijitang's case?" ”

Zeng Ling was also wondering in his heart, how to investigate this case? asked him to check, but the prince didn't give him the account book, so he couldn't check it.

Then he reacted instantly, if the prince really wanted to find out who went to Yijitang to hire the killer, why didn't he leave a living mouth before? This shows that the prince actually doesn't want to check.

Or, the prince didn't want to make a big deal of it, because he had other ideas.

Zeng Ling said tentatively: "The prince wants to see, is Jiang Ran available?" ”

"Hmm."

Prince Yu nodded and said: "How to deal with a person who has made a mistake depends on whether this person can use it, if he is a smart person, it is a good thing to make mistakes, and he will remember it for a long time in the future, if he is a stupid person......"

After a pause, Prince Yu continued: "I am now the time to employ people, in the next few years, I will recruit a large number of talents, if I have not recruited people to kill first, the people who want to assist me will also have scruples." ”

Zeng Ling finally understood that Prince Yu's thoughts were too deep.

He lowered his head and said: "If Jiang Ran really went to investigate this case like a tendon, then it means that he is a fool, and it is inappropriate for a fool to sit in the position of the general of the armed forces......"

When he said this, how empty was Zeng Ling's heart? Jiang Ran was promoted by him, and at this time he said that Jiang Ran was a stupid person, and even he felt that he was slapping him in the face.

It was at this moment that Zeng Ling was suddenly shocked, the pain of this slap in the face woke him up.

Is it necessary for the prince to personally beat a military general? Jiang Ran is just a five-grade general, so he won't let the prince bother so much, and the prince will beat him...... It's me.

Thinking of this, Zeng Ling's heart immediately became heavy, Jiang Ran's military rank is not high, but his position is important, and he is responsible for the city defense and security of the entire Jizhou City.

As soon as he thought of this, Zeng Ling immediately lowered his head and said: "Lord Wang, I think this Jiang Ran is indeed limited in talent and ability, and it is inevitable that he will make mistakes when he sits in the position of a military general." ”

He looked at Prince Yu and said, "Since Jiang Ran is in charge of Yijitang's case, then I think it is better to transfer him to Jizhou Mansion to be a chief arrest, and the chief arrest and investigation of the case can be regarded as justifiable." ”

Prince Yu laughed, slapped his hand on the armrest of the seat a few times, and then got up and left.

Zeng Ling let out a long breath, and said in his heart that it was dangerous, what Prince Yu wanted was not Jiang Ran's attitude, Prince Yu wanted his attitude.

It didn't take long for Jiang Ran, who had not yet returned to the Wubei General's Mansion, to receive an order from the Jiedu Envoy, and the Wubei General became the chief arrester of Jizhou Mansion.

In terms of level, the total arrest of Jizhou Mansion is also a positive five-grade, which can be regarded as a level-level transfer, but everyone can see the big difference in power.

There are more than 4,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the General Wubei Mansion, and he has the power alone, and this errand is fat, and the silver of filial piety in and out of the gates of Jizhou City every day adds up, which is a remarkable amount.

How much do the soldiers guarding the city gate dare to take every day? How is that possible, it would be good if a fifth of what they collected could fall into their own hands.

The money collected at the gate of the city is still a small amount, and a large amount of income comes from the filial piety of the major underworld forces in the city, and not only these shady businesses, even those Qinglou casinos, if you want to live a safe and smooth life, can you have less filial piety to the military general's mansion?

The person was transferred to the Yamen of Jizhou Mansion to be the chief arrester, and there were dozens of serious officials under his command, and the rest were a group of helper apprentices with foxes and fake tigers, besides, how many people were in charge of him on this chief arrest, and how many people's faces did he have to see?

The moment Jiang Ran got the order, he realized that Prince Yu asked him to investigate the case, that is, to investigate the case for a lifetime, and his career might end here.

From the transfer to the military general's mansion to the transfer to the chief arrest, it was only two years before and after, and the scenery was only two years.

Prince Yu really wants to find out who went to Yitang to buy the murderer, and he still needs to go to such a great length? It is said that everyone is dead, and there is no evidence to find out, but it is not difficult to know who it is.

At this moment, Xu Qinglin, who was strolling around with Dean Gao, was caught up by the little guy Chengcai who was chasing after him, Chengcai whispered a few words in his ear, Xu Qinglin's face immediately became ugly, and he lost blood in an instant.

"How so!"

He said hurriedly: "Didn't you say that everything is foolproof over there?" It's just that people didn't kill them, but they were wiped out by Prince Yu's army, if this matter involves me, then what can I do! ”

Chengcai was also scared enough, he was much more scared than Xu Qinglin, he did it single-handedly, he knew very well the way the big people did things, with Xu Qinglin's identity, Prince Yu might not really attack Xu Qinglin, but he couldn't, he was just a descendant of the Xu family.

"Childe, you have to save me, Childe."

Chengcai begged: "I can't hide this matter from the master, if the master knows about it, he will beat me to death." ”

Xu Qinglin was nervous and didn't know what to do, and after a while, he quickly caught up with Dean Gao, leaned over and said, "Lord Dean, something happened to the student's family, and the student needs to rush back as soon as possible, so I can only say goodbye first......."

Dean Gao's original good impression of Xu Qinglin has been wiped out because of the marriage proposal, and at this time Xu Qinglin said that he was leaving, he immediately nodded and said, "Go back, family affairs are important." ”

Xu Qinglin hurriedly rushed back to his home, and said to Chengcai on the way: "You're right, I can't hide this matter from my father, so I admit it directly after I go home, my attitude is better, and I can suffer less, don't worry, I asked you to do it, I will keep you, you are my person, I can't ignore it." ”

Chengcai immediately said: "Thank you Gongzi, Chengcai's life is Gongzi's, as long as Gongzi has any instructions, Chengcai will definitely be in the sea of fire." ”

Back at home, Xu Qinglin cautiously went to the outside of his father Xu Sheng's study, the family was talking to his father about Yijitang, his father was just curious, not worried, he didn't know that his son provoked it.

Xu Qinglin swallowed and spit, took a deep breath, and lowered his head and entered the study.

Chengcai was standing at the door, trembling nervously, he couldn't stop if he wanted to, what kind of temper did the master have, he didn't know yet?

Fortunately, the young master said that he wanted to protect him, and he only hoped that he could avoid death, as for being beaten...... As long as you don't kill you, you can fight as much as you want.

"You fool!"

At this moment, an angry shout came from the study, which frightened Chengcai so much that he almost sat on the ground.

In the study, Xu Qinglin knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Father, it's all a child who is confused for a while, coupled with the instigation of the adult, he said that he knows the killer of his own hall, and he can do it without knowing it, and the child is also confused by the ghost, so he shouldn't listen to his nonsense."

Xu Angry's scalp is about to explode, this matter can be big or small, to put it mildly, it is just to kill a Li Qi, Prince Yu's Mansion may not be really angry.

To put it mildly, this matter involves Xiahou Zhuo, Prince Yiyu cares about Xiahou Zhuo, and it is not impossible to lead a large army to Xu's house to ask for guilt.

"Someone."

Xu Sheng shouted outside: "Tie up the finished material." ”

He looked at Xu Qinglin hatefully and said, "Before I come back, you are not allowed to go anywhere, you are not allowed to eat on this wall!" ”

"Yes, yes, the child has thought about it."

Xu Sheng asked people to change his clothes, took a few people and Chengcai, who was tied up and sealed, got in the car and went directly to Prince Yu's mansion.

After waiting anxiously outside Prince Yu's mansion for a long time, the people inside came out and said that the prince let them in, Xu Sheng subconsciously raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

When he arrived at the living room, Xu Sheng, who was still far away, fell to his knees with a thud.

"Lord Wang, the lower official Xu Sheng, the crime deserves death."

Prince Yu walked out quickly, stretched out his hand to hold Xu Sheng's arm and said, "Lord Xu, why are you doing this?" ”

Xu Sheng looked at the smile on the corner of the prince's mouth, and knew that the prince understood his intention, if the Xu family pretended not to know anything, then Prince Yu would feel that the Xu family would not really support him to be the emperor.

Prince Yu didn't let people go to investigate the case with great fanfare, he was waiting.

In the living room, Xu Sheng told what had happened, saying that it was because of the jealousy of the child that he would do such a wrong thing, and he blamed the people in his house for being successful, and he actually instigated the master to do such a thing, Xu Sheng said that he was willing to hand over Xu Qinglin and Chengcai to Prince Yu for disposal.

In fact, if you really want to make friends, won't you bring your son over?

Prince Yu smiled: "The child's heart is like this, it is understandable, I originally thought that Qinglin's child is a first-class learner, and I want to ask him to come over and entrust him with a heavy responsibility." ”

He looked at Xu Sheng and said: "Lord Xu, you don't know yet, Jizhou is seriously troubled, and the Jizhou army is insufficient, so I plan to expand the strength of the Jizhou army, at least ten battalions, and in the future, after Qinglin graduates from the academy, I will send him to the newly expanded Jizhou army to work." ”

He changed his words and sighed: "But now there are many difficulties, and the Jizhou treasury is also stretched, and it is difficult to ......expand the Jizhou army if you want to expand it."

"Lord Wang!"

Xu Sheng, this still doesn't understand?

He hurriedly got up and bowed and said: "For the sake of the people of Jizhou, the prince is willing to donate his family wealth to expand the Jizhou army." ”

Prince Yu smiled and said, "How can this be done, it's your family property, and state affairs are important, so you can't use your private wealth, right?" ”

"No, no, no, Xiaguan is also willing to do something for the fathers and villagers in Jizhou, and has some contributions, Xiaguan also has a heart to serve the country, and please ask the prince for permission, and Xiaguan is willing to donate five silver ...... No, 100,000 taels. ”

"Hahahaha!"

Prince Yu got up and walked over, held Xu Sheng's arms and said, "Lord Xu is so conductive, so virtuous, and so dedicated, if I insist on not accepting it, it will also damage your sincerity." ”

Xu Sheng hurriedly said: "Thank you, Lord Wang, for giving the lower officials the opportunity to do something for Jizhou." ”

Prince Yu smiled: "Just now you said, it was all instigated by a subordinate in your family?" Qinglin's future is limitless, such a wicked servant, don't keep it, but this is also your family matter, you just take people home and deal with it. ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

Xu Sheng turned around and shouted to the subordinates he brought outside: "Take that evil servant home, call everyone in the house to watch, and deal with it according to family law!" ”
