Chapter 455: Heartbreaking
After Master Du left, Jiang Zhan continued to instruct his subordinates to investigate the case.
Jiang Zhan noticed that when he mentioned the case to himself, there was something unnatural in his words.
He felt that things must be very different from what Master Du said.
After all, it was his family who made the mistake, and he would definitely try his best to exonerate him.
What's more, it has been too long, and some evidence may not be found.
So he came to Jiang Zhan desperately, wanting him to suppress the matter.
It's a pity that Jiang Zhan is different from other officials, he is not afraid of any threats from him at all, and he speaks reasonably, so that he can't find loopholes at all......
Lord Du waited at home for a few days, but found that Jiang Zhan not only did not make a big deal small, but also kept investigating his son's case.
This is his sister-in-law, although he is not very angry, but he is not easy for others to move.
When he did something wrong, Master Du was also heartbroken, and he wanted to kill him directly.
However, his wife and mother have been interceding for him, and Master Du has no choice but to use his relationship to dredge up and want to take out his son.
After all, the victim is only a common person, and he believes that with his own ability, he will definitely be able to solve it.
It's a pity that something happened later, which caused things to become a lot more troublesome, and he had no choice but to find it, the eldest daughter who was the crown prince's concubine at the time.
His daughter is quite favored, although she is only a side concubine, but it also makes many people jealous.
However, Jiang Zhan's status in the court does not need to be afraid of the Du family at all, he is the emperor's favorite minister, and he is rich and powerful.
It is unlikely that the Du family wants to buy him, and this matter can only be moved with emotion and reason, so that it can be picked up high and put down gently.
So Du Dawei weighed it and came to the door again with a gift.
"I wonder what Master Jiang can find?" He couldn't sleep at home, so he came directly to Jiang Zhan to inquire about the news.
"It's been sealed for too long, and the lower officials haven't found too many clues, but Ling Gongzi did get killed back then!" Jiang Zhan said.
"Those are all accidents, since that incident, the dog has changed his ways, and we also gave the family enough compensation at the beginning, I just hope that Lord Jiang will raise his noble hand and don't bring up the old things again!" Lord Du wanted to keep his bloodline, so he pleaded with Jiang Zhan regardless of face.
"Now that you have done a good job of dealing with the aftermath, there is no need to worry, the lower official just wants to go through all the cases in the Criminal Department, Lord Du, please go back!" Jiang Zhan deliberately played Tai Chi with him, neither agreeing nor refusing.
He wanted to get to the bottom of the case, but only if no one stopped him.
The Du family's power in the capital is not small, but as long as Jiang Zhan is willing, he has a way to let the truth be revealed.
No matter who you are, if you do sin, you have to bear the consequences.
If everyone is like the Du family, relying on their identity and ignoring people's lives, the emperor is afraid that he will lose the support of the people.
After all, it was his favorite concubine's younger brother who did this kind of thing, and his concubine also intervened.
Lord Du took out some medicinal materials and precious items, "These are extremely nourishing medicinal materials, they are a little bit of my heart, and please accept them with a smile?" ”
He was annoyed that Jiang Zhan refused to give him a satisfactory answer, but at this juncture, he didn't want to turn his face directly to the other party.
After all, this case is in Jiang Zhan's hands, and he can use this matter at any time to find trouble with the Du family.
Although he said in his mouth that their Du family had settled each other's hatred, only he knew the truth.
"Thank you, Lord Du, for your kindness!" Jiang Zhan didn't want to accept it, but in order to stabilize the other party, he still took it.
In fact, Jiang Zhan and Xue Yao really don't lack these things at all.
Xue Yao's system has a lot of supplements that are good for pregnant women's health, and there is no damage to the body after eating.
Recently, Xue Yao has eaten some supplements that have been exchanged in the system.
Her pregnancy is not very good, coupled with the influence of poisoning, causing her to have a great morning sickness reaction, almost vomiting what she eats.
Jiang Zhan was worried about her, so he directly let her stay at home, Xue Yao had been unenergetic recently, and she was very sleepy, so she agreed to him and didn't go to the shop again.
Now the things in the shop are all taken care of by the steward, and the account book is checked by Ling Haoxuan.
Xue Yao taught him the mantra of modern planning and some tips.
Ling Haoxuan is very smart and can learn almost immediately, so he is helping to calculate the account books.
He felt that the method taught by Xue Yao was not only practical, but also could quickly calculate the answer, without adding it up little by little like before.
The previous method was really too slow, although Ling Haoxuan had also learned some, he preferred to practice martial arts, and he was the future heir of Feiyun Gate.
His parents didn't want to, he went into business.
Who knew that Feiyunmen was gone overnight, he followed Jiang Zhan and Xue Yao and learned a lot of new things, and everyone used to think that businessmen were inferior.
However, after getting in touch with business, Ling Haoxuan found that it was really not that simple to make money from it, and doing business was also a science......
Jiang Zhan perfunctory Master Du, and after sending him away, he immediately ordered his subordinates to investigate the situation at the victim's home.
Judging from the Du family's style of acting, Jiang Zhan didn't think that they would really be willing to compensate the other party.
If they had sincerely repented in private, then this matter would not have been brought up again and again.
In any case, he had to investigate the case thoroughly.
When Jiang Zhan's men passed, they happened to find that the family was in trouble, so they immediately rescued each other.
"Thank you for your life-saving grace!" After those people were rescued, Jiang Zhan's subordinates directly brought them back.
They are worried that those people will go and return, and that the victim's family will be in danger.
"Get up first!" After Jiang Zhan ordered someone to help them up, he let his men go out temporarily.
"Engong's great kindness, we can't repay it, if Engong doesn't dislike it, we are willing to stay in the house as slaves and servants!" A man in his early thirties said.
"Can you know who the person who was going to arrest you just now?" Jiang Zhan ordered his subordinates to bring some tea and snacks.
"If we guess correctly, it should be someone from the Du family!" The man sighed, "But they cover their faces, and we are not very familiar with the Du family, so we have no way to judge." ”
"What kind of grievances do you have with the Du family, and they want to chase you all the time?" Jiang Zhan felt that the words of the bitter lord were the most credible.
The reputation of the Du family in the capital seems to be good, but in fact, everyone is afraid to say more because of Concubine Li's face.
After all, she is now being favored, and the Du family has always supported the emperor, which can be regarded as a dragon.
If they hadn't made a big mistake, no one would have held them accountable.
"In the past, my daughter was a maid in the Du family, our family was poor, I was seriously ill in that family, and there was no money at home to see me, and the big girl was filial, so she went to the Du family to be a maid without us!" The man said sadly.
"We originally said that after five years, the family would redeem her when they had saved enough money, but we just raised the silver, and when we went to the Du family to take her home, we were told by the people of the Du family that the eldest girl was dead......
There is nothing more painful in the world than the loss of a child in middle age.
His daughter was his first child, and although the countrymen valued boys more, he was always nice to his daughter.
What's more, his daughter was originally married, but in order to treat him, she voluntarily sold into the Du family as a maid.
They felt sorry for their daughter, so they worked hard to save money, and they met half a month before she died.
At that time, she sent back the monthly silver, and had a light meal at home before leaving.
Who knew that the parting turned out to be an eternal secret.
They were naturally unwilling to lose their daughter, so they went to the Du family to find out the cause of their daughter's death, but they were kicked out.
The Du family even threatened that if they dared to talk nonsense, they would directly kill them.
In the end, for the sake of the remaining children, they could only return home depressed, they thought that the matter would pass like this, but who knew that in the end they almost lost their lives at the hands of the Du family again......
After listening to their story, Jiang Zhan guessed that their daughter should have known something that she shouldn't know, and was killed by the Du family.
After all, the life of a maid is not even as good as a pet at home in the eyes of the Du family.
They thought that the death of a subordinate would not attract the attention of others, but who knew that they loved their daughters and went directly to the Du family to explain the law.
This matter was taken advantage of by someone with a heart and directly stabbed the government office.
Although the Du family is beautiful, it has also set up a lot of enemies.
There are many people in the capital who want to destroy them, if Concubine Li hadn't given birth to a son to the emperor, the status of the Du family would have been shaken long ago.
Although Concubine Li has some status in the harem, she cannot affect the previous dynasty.
Their Du family's dependence has always been the emperor's child born to Concubine Li.
However, now the child is still too young, and it will take more than ten years for him to take charge on his own.
The Du family didn't want to have an accident at this juncture, so they wanted to seal the family's mouth.
As a result, they hit a wall again and again, and although the family compromised temporarily, they never gave up their desire to avenge their daughter......
"I heard from the Du family that they had given some compensation. I don't know if there is such a thing? Jiang Zhan saw that their sadness was not faked, so he decided to ask clearly.
"When they kicked us out, they threw a few pieces of broken silver at random, but we didn't ask for it!" It was his daughter's life, and he wanted to shut their mouths with a little money, how could he compromise.
"I'll have someone find you a place to live first, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow!" Jiang Zhan asked almost enough, so he asked his subordinates to take them to live in another house that he and Xue Yao had bought before.
Only they know about that house, and the people of the Du family can't find it for the time being.
They are now in danger of dying at any time, and Jiang Zhan still wants to keep them as witnesses to testify about the things that the Du family has done, so they can't die.
However, the Du family failed to arrest the people back, and they would definitely send someone to find them, and now if he doesn't make a move and hides the people, they will definitely not be able to escape the Du family's poisonous hands in the end.
Now that he is investigating the case, it has already made the Du family panic.
The only way they want to cover up the past is to kill them all.
