Chapter 32: Discovery

Some of the dossiers on the wooden shelves are old, and the pages are yellowed.

Jiang Wan quickly browsed through one dossier after another, and finally found a special dossier in an inconspicuous corner.

It looked much thinner than the other dossiers, the pages were yellowed, a layer of gray fell on the booklet, and a vague word for Jiang was visible.

Jiang Wan looked around, saw that no one was paying attention to her, and carefully took down the dossier.

She brushed off the dust on it, looked at the handwriting that was revealed, her fingers trembled slightly, and her mood was complicated.

Flipping through the dossier, a few simple notes recorded the Jiang family's glory to decay, and a few pages were missing in the middle, as if someone had deliberately torn it up.

She turned to the last page, and at the end she saw that in the thirteenth year of Jiang Huan, the king of Zhennan collaborated with the enemy and treason, and the Duke of Su was ordered to connect the nine clans of the Jiang family, and the remnants of the Jiang family felt guilty and set fire to themselves, and apologized for their crimes with death...

Jiang Wan clenched her hands and suppressed the anger in her heart

Treason with the enemy?

Sinful?

The Jiang family has been loyal and good for generations, and the children of the Jiang family have defended this land with their lives.

They love the country of Shao more than anyone else, how can they collaborate with the enemy and commit treason?

It's sad to end up like this.

A wave of grief and anger accumulated in his chest for a long time, and his eyes were empty and sad.

She closed her eyes, and her mind flashed fragmentary images of the past, and those beauties seemed to bubble away with the wind.

When she opened her eyes again, there was a touch of firmness in her eyes, the one hundred and thirty-seven people of the Jiang family should not die unjustly, they should get justice.

There was a sound of footsteps approaching behind her, and Jiang Wan immediately restrained her emotions and quickly put the file back in its place.

"Why did you stay so long?" Bei Jinchuan walked over.

"It took a bit of effort to look at everything here, but I didn't find anything."

Jiang Wan replied calmly.

Bei Jinchuan was puzzled and found that the young man's eyes were slightly red, as if he had cried.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" He asked strangely.

Jiang Wan avoided his straightforward gaze a little unnaturally, and explained, "It may be that the dust just fell into my eyes accidentally." ”

At this time, a voice came from Baili Yue's side, "Found it." ”

Looking at the back of the young man rushing in a hurry, there was more or less a hint of wanting to cover up.

He rubbed the ring on his thumb with his fingertips, his eyes were as deep as the boundless night, and half of his face was hidden in the shadows.

The wound on his chest was still aching, his face was not very good, his lips were pale and a little weak.

Leaning on the wooden frame and looking at the young man's serious and serious face, he suddenly smiled, how could such a cold person be a girl's family?

Just as he was about to get up and leave, he swept to a file that stood out slightly, as if someone had hurriedly put it back and didn't put it away, revealing a corner.

Bei Jinchuan raised his eyebrows, and picked up the file casually, the dust on it had been swept away, revealing the original words.

The Jiang family's dossier made his eyes shrink suddenly, the smile on his face narrowed, and he suddenly became serious, and his fingers curled and tightened.

He looked down page by page, his face became more and more ugly, and his body was shrouded in low pressure.

I couldn't get back to my senses for a long time.

It wasn't until the movement on Zhou He's side came that Bei Jinchuan exhaled a deep breath of turbidity. Restraining the different colors on his face, pursing his thin lips slightly, he quietly hid the dossier in his sleeves and put it away, and walked towards the young man.

Bai Liyue put the dossier on the table, his face solemn.

Jiang Wan read while flipping through the dossier: "In the fifteenth year of Jiangguan, Ding Guizhuan and his son Ding Hua came to settle in the imperial city. ”

"In the sixteenth year of Jiang Huan, Ding Hua was only teased on the street and the lady of the Liu family was reported to the official."

"In the sixteenth year of Jiang Huan, Ding Hua entangled the Li family's lady and was beaten by his father-in-law to report to the official."

"In the sixteenth year of Jiang Huan, Ding Hua forcibly robbed the people's daughter and was reported to the government by the people."

"Jiang Huan has been occupying fertile land for seventeen years..."

"Eighteen years of Jiang Huan..."

One pile after another, the people watching were shocked.

Since Ding Huacai came to settle in the imperial city with his father, there have been no less than dozens of cases of molesting people's daughters, and there are not a few cases of robbing people's daughters.

Looking at his file, the places he goes in and out are all places of smoke and willows, and the target objects are all young and beautiful women.

This Ding Huacai seems to be a womanizer, and there are not a few ruined little girls, no wonder Zhou He remembers.

Baili Yue's thin lips were slightly pursed, her eyes were dark, her unsmiling face showed disgust, and the secret room was extremely quiet, and no one dared to speak at this time.

Zhou He began to sweat when the teenager first opened his mouth to read, and the more he listened, the more panicked he became. He didn't expect that this person named Ding Huacai had done so many things over the years.

Usually, Ding Guizhuan often stuffs some silver taels for him to take care of it, and he says that he collects money from people to eliminate disasters for others, so he turns a blind eye to what Ding Huacai did.

Although he is said to be a third-grade official, he is really nothing compared to those real magnates.

Ding Guizhuan is a wealthy businessman in the imperial city, and he often curries favor with those powerful people, so if he really wants to talk about it, he also wants to sell Ding Guizhuan for three points of face.

But he really didn't expect that Ding Huacai had committed countless cases over the years, although each case was small, but together it was serious.

Zhou He's eyes were so anxious that he couldn't think of a solution.

"Lord Zhou doesn't explain why he connived at this kind of person to do evil?!"

Bai Liyue asked in a deep voice with a cold face.

Zhou He hurriedly explained, "The anger of the adults is the dereliction of duty of the lower officials, and the lower officials only know that Ding Hua has done a lot of evil." ”

"Do you know what kind of crime you should be guilty of harboring and conniving criminals according to the laws of my country?!"

Zhou He, who was frightened by his cold gaze, rushed out from the soles of his feet and reached the Tianling Gai, and knelt on the ground with a thud.

Bei Jinchuan walked around Zhou He, came to the young man's side, took the file and glanced at it, sneered, and threw it into Zhou He's arms, the pages full of dense incriminating evidence were very dazzling.

"Article 139 of the Law of the Kingdom of Shao protects and connives, and officials who assist criminals shall be dismissed from their official positions with a rod and stick, or sent to the frontier to serve as an army, or even worse..."

Bei Jinchuan paused deliberately, and said slowly and clearly.

"Punish him."

As soon as the casual words fell, Zhou He's face turned white, and he immediately shook his head and begged for mercy.

"The king of Qi forgave the sin, and the lower official was confused for a while and accepted the silver tael, but the lower official did not condone it, and the lower official was also deceived by the traitor without knowing it, looking at the king of Qi Mingjian."

Zhou He begged for mercy with a handful of snot and tears, and almost hugged King Qi's thigh to plead, with tears on his old face, exaggerating how he was wronged, how he was deceived by traitors, and tears fell.

Bei Jinchuan watched the play on the sidelines, and did not forget to raise his eyebrows at the young man who asked for praise.

Jiang Wan swept over Bei Jinchuan's face expressionlessly, and her gaze crossed him and fell on Zhou He, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, and her beautiful eyes glowed with a dull light.

"It's better to give Master Zhou a week to find out the truth about all the things that Ding Huacai has committed over the years, and it can be regarded as giving an explanation to those girls."

The young man spoke slowly, and his cold voice was dyed with a soft calm, which made people listen to an inexplicable reassurance, and had the magic of soothing people.

Zhou He was like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw, his dim eyes burst out with a light of hope, and he said continuously, "Xia Guan must make up for his mistakes, arrest Ding Huacai as soon as possible, and return them the truth." ”

In the end, Ding Hua was acquitted of all the cases recorded in the file, which is equivalent to closing the case. And so long has passed since the case, and many of the victims at that time are no longer there, or have left Beijing, so it is not easy to find out the truth of the matter again.

Bai Liyue was silent, looking at King Qi standing lazily beside the young man, his face did not show any dissatisfaction, and he looked like he was letting the young man call the shots.

"Since the Hou of Yibei proposed, then give you a week to find out the truth of all the cases, if you can't do it, your majesty will be punished!"

Zhou He checked the cold sweat on his forehead, how dare he not agree, and hurriedly responded. "Yes, yes, the lower official will send someone to investigate."
