Two days later, Lord Wu found the leader of the caravan and brought him to Jiang Zhan.

In fact, Jiang Zhan didn't have much expectations for Lord Wu's ability, but he didn't expect that the other party really did it.

In fact, this matter is not simple, Lord Wu has looked for the other party several times, but he refuses to come out.

For the sake of profit, Lord Wu used all the methods of coercion and temptation.

In the end, the other party relented after hearing Jiang Zhan's name.

He seemed to be quite curious about Jiang Zhan's appearance here.

"You're the leader of the caravan?" Jiang Zhan glanced at the other party and said.

"That's right, I heard that Master Jiang wants to cooperate with us, are you sincere?" He said with a slightly cold look in his eyes.

"I don't know anything about your caravan, so I want to ask you to come and ask, if this matter is profitable, I naturally won't refuse." Jiang Zhan actually had a decision in his heart, but he needed evidence.

If he can find out the secret of this caravan, then he can eradicate this cancer.

He will never keep people who are secretly smuggling to harm the people.

Officials are heavy on profits, and ignore the harm behind this matter, Jiang Zhan has no way to let those officials quit now.

However, he had a way to get the caravan to disband.

If there is no caravan, those who are victims can also be reincarnated......

"Our caravan is only responsible for escorting the goods, and we don't care about the rest." He was guarding against Jiang Zhan in his heart, and he refused to reveal it all.

"Someone, arrest him." Jiang Zhan originally wanted to say a few more words, but the other party's mouth was too tight.

In that case, he won't waste any more time with the other party.

"You're cheating?" The other party never thought that he would be planted in Jiang Zhan's hands like this.

At this time, the people who came with him also ran out, wanting to fight Jiang Zhan.

As a result, Jiang Zhan had already prepared, and he secretly transferred some of the arresters and soldiers guarding the county office.

Jiang Zhan didn't know how he would come over before, so he prepared an extra trap.

Lord Wu was overwhelmed by Jiang Zhan's sudden order.

"Master Jiang, aren't you going to talk to him about cooperation?" Why did you tie people up directly.

"This person is suspected of violating the laws of the imperial court and quietly leading a caravan to smuggle goods." Jiang Zhan didn't bother to hide it from him.

If it weren't for Lord Wu, he might not have been able to catch people directly, so he decided to wake up Lord Wu.

"What?" Lord Wu's face was full of disbelief.

Smuggling is a serious crime, and once it is found out, the DPRK and China will absolutely not tolerate it.

"There is no excuse for the sin you want to add, and you don't want to frame me." The needle at the distance of the man.

"Whether it's a frame-up or a real thing, you and I both know it." It's all like this, is it still interesting to quibble?

"If you don't let me go again, I will definitely go to sue the emperor, don't think that if you have a high official position, you can cover the sky with one hand, I am not afraid of you." He roared excitedly.

In fact, he knew that what Jiang Zhan said was not deliberately scaring himself, and the imperial court did have high requirements in this regard.

"I can't cover the sky with one hand, and neither can your caravan." Jiang Zhan's eyes were piercing and said, "If you want to survive, you only have one chance." ”

After Jiang Zhan sent Master Wu away, he had been torturing him, trying to find out the amount of goods they had smuggled and the master behind them.

It's a pity that he didn't say anything about the death, and there was no way, so Jiang Zhan had to lock him up temporarily.

However, he has now determined that the other party is definitely not a simple businessman.

A person who dares to cooperate with officials will definitely disdain to do business.

"Master, do you need us to continue to find out the rest of the caravan?" Jiang Zhan's subordinates asked.

"Go check them out, try to take them all down as quickly as possible, lest you have too many dreams at night." After he finished speaking, he went straight back to his room.

After interrogating for so long, but there was no substantial progress at all, Jiang Zhan was upset.

He originally planned to return quickly, but it turned out that it had been half a month, and he hadn't been able to go to the border yet, so he didn't know how long he would have to be busy before he could go back.

Children are the same every day, Jiang Zhan is worried that after he goes back, his son will no longer recognize him.

Although he and Xue Yao both maintained the frequency of writing a letter to each other every three days, he still returned to his heart.

Now every time Jiang Zhan is empty, he can't help but think of Xue Yao's mother and son who are far away in the capital.

The next morning, as soon as Jiang Zhan got up, his men came and knocked on the door in a panic.

"Why do you have to see me so early?" Jiang Zhan opened the door.

"The person you captured yesterday was suddenly poisoned and died." Subordinates report.

"What?" Jiang Zhan's face changed.

He had planned to interrogate the man again today and find out everything he knew.

As a result, he didn't do anything, the other party died like this, and his previous plans were all in vain.

After Jiang Zhan passed, he carefully examined his corpse and found that his lips were very dark in color, and at a glance, he knew that he had been killed by an extremely domineering poison.

After wrapping his hand in a handkerchief, he pinched the deceased's chin directly, opened his mouth, and found that his poison was indeed hidden in his teeth.

Yesterday he was careless, obviously he had a chance, he could have taken the poison he had hidden in his teeth, but unfortunately he was negligent.

Although the person is gone now, the matter still has to be investigated.

The leader of a caravan, before coming to see him, deliberately hid poison in his teeth, which looks like someone deliberately designed to target the imperial court.

However, for now, these are just his guesses, and he wants to find out what the caravan people are smuggling so that he can catch them all.

It's a pity that things didn't go well at the beginning, and if you really want things to progress, I'm afraid you have to find people who have been involved.

They have been investing money, if they really don't know anything, how can they gamble their entire net worth with confidence.

Jiang Zhan secretly learned some more things about their caravan through Lord Wu.

However, apart from finding out that the other party was really smuggling goods, he couldn't get any evidence at all, so he couldn't arrest people directly now.

Now their leader is gone, and everyone else has begun to be cautious in their words and deeds, and no longer takes the initiative to deal with the people of the government.

Some officials felt that Jiang Zhan was nosy and ruined their way to fortune, but Jiang Zhan's official position was bigger than theirs, so they didn't dare to talk nonsense, so they could only secretly greet him in their hearts.

Jiang Zhan talked to them for a few days, but the person who replaced him was still nowhere to be found, so he decided to send a letter to the emperor and report the matter here.

These people undermined the interests of the imperial court and carried out some shameless deeds, in fact, they also involved a lot of court officials.

So he didn't know for a while whether he should tell Xue Yao about the trouble he encountered here.

They agreed that they would not hide it from each other, so in the end, Jiang Zhan still wrote a letter and passed it to Xue Yao alone.

Jiang Zhan felt that she was in the capital, and if there was any order from the emperor's side, if he could not receive the letter in time, he could inform him as soon as possible.

The most important thing is that they are a neat family, and the difficulties in front of them need to be overcome together.

Although Xue Yao kept saying that they were all right in the house, Jiang Zhan's eyes finally had a trace of warmth.

Ever since he learned that the man had committed suicide, Jiang Zhan's face had been very ugly.

After writing the letter, Jiang Zhan went to the local prefect and heard that this person had been involved in that matter.

However, after arriving at the prefect's mansion, Jiang Zhan waited for a full two quarters of an hour before the other party was late.

"Please forgive Lord Jiang, the lower official has something at hand, so it's too late." After the prefect first put his position out, he began to ask Jiang Zhan for guilt without being careful.

He knew that Jiang Zhan would not punish him, so he dared to do this to him.

"The prefect is so busy, it seems that the official is not the right time to come." Jiang Zhan naturally knew that he was making excuses.

In fact, he didn't have anything at all, he just deliberately didn't come out.

The leader of the caravan is gone, and now the caravan is leaderless, and the money they threw in it has not yet been returned.

However, everything Jiang Zhan did had recovered some of the losses of those who had been deceived by them.

"Lord Jiang is serious, I have already instructed the kitchen to prepare meals, why don't Lord Jiang eat something in the cold house before leaving." The prefect also knew that he had committed some of the following actions just now.

If Jiang Zhan really wanted to be investigated, he would probably be punished.

"No need, the things of the prefect's family, the official will not be blessed." After Jiang Zhan finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave.

"Lord Jiang, everything is the official is not thinking about it, don't go." The prefect was in a hurry.

Now I know it's too late to keep it.

"You deliberately derelict your duties, and you don't take your official in your eyes everywhere, it seems that you, the prefect, don't want to do it." She didn't want to be entangled, but the other party refused to let go.

"Ask for your kindness, the lower official is really something, so I delayed the time to come to see you, if you don't believe it, you can check, but please give me another chance......" The prefect said a lot, Jiang Zhan didn't give him a little reaction, and directly ordered someone to come over and give him five boards to teach him to be a man.

Although he was beaten, his official position was retained, and Jiang Zhan also promised not to report the matter to the emperor.

After leaving the prefect's mansion, Jiang Zhan wrote to Xue Yao again, asking if she had received the letter.

In the past, as long as Xue Yao received the letter, she would definitely send the letter the next day.

Now that five full days have passed, the eagle who passed the message between them has not returned, Jiang Zhan is worried that she is also deliberately framed in the capital.

For several days, Jiang Zhan's letter was like being thrown in the water, and it didn't cause any splash.

In desperation, he had no choice but to send a message to the military department, the capital was too far away, and the military department who was originally on the border could arrive in just one day and one night.

However, the strange thing is that the letter he wrote to the soldier's squire also seems to have gone wrong on the way and was not delivered to him.

Jiang Zhan had never been sure whether there was a spy around him, or if he was secretly intercepted in the middle.

Now he has an answer in his heart, but he has no way to get in touch in other ways at the moment, which means that he is isolated.

Jiang Zhan was in a very bad mood, obviously he just wanted to complete the emperor's order, but now he was trapped here and couldn't retreat, and he couldn't even receive news from his wife and children.

Subsequently, after thinking about it again, he decided to leave here in person and entrust the letter to the trustworthy person to send back to the capital.
