Chapter 107: You have no right to inquire
If Yu Wenshi had mentioned the name Ji Bei two days earlier, Jiang Chen would definitely not have any special reaction.
But now he knew that this person named Ji Bei was being detained under the dungeon of the Water Pavilion, and Xuan Yanfu threatened Yu Wenshi to release him, apparently because he did not fully grasp the clues when collecting intelligence in advance.
They must have thought that Ji Bei was only under the control of the Criminal Department, but in fact, it was the Night Execution Division that was in control.
Shen Xueying once told Jiang Chen that the prisoners in the dungeon where Wang Qiaoling was held were all under the management of their Night Execution Division, and of course this Jibei was among them.
Therefore, even if Yu Wenshi obediently complied, he would not be able to release Ji Bei with his authority.
Jiang Chen asked Yu Wenshi again: "What did this Ji Bei do and get arrested?" ”
"I don't know about this, maybe officials with higher authority than me can access the file, but I really don't have this right."
Yu Wenshi had just been assassinated and had experienced nine deaths, there was no need for him to hide these things, and Jiang Chen only needed to ask Shen Xueying to know the answer.
The two stayed at Yu's house for a while, and Shen Xueying then came over with a complacent expression.
"What about those people from Xuanyan Mansion?"
"Half of the dead and half wounded, they know that Yu Wenshi has been taken away safely by you, so there is no need to fight to the death with us."
Shen Xueying's eyes looked at Yu Wenshi, Jiang Chen told him what he had just learned, and a slight change of expression appeared on Shen Xueying's fair face.
"So why was that person named Ji Bei locked up?"
"I can't explain this matter to you for the time being, because it belongs to the top secret of our Night Execution Division. Not to mention that he is a servant of the Criminal Department, even if the highest official of their Criminal Department is still the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, he only knows a few superficial things. ”
Jiang Chen and Yu Wenshi were stunned at the same time, it seemed that the secret hidden in this Ji Bei was far more astonishing than they expected.
"However, if you are an insider of the Night Execution Division, you naturally have the right to know these inside stories."
Shen Xueying's words changed, and Jiang Chen knew that this was a disguised reminder of the benefits of joining the Night Execution Division, but whether he wanted to accept this invitation or not, he couldn't make a decision yet.
"If I don't mention that, I'll have to interrogate the man I caught right away, and I'll have to get the answer I want from him! This kind of person will definitely not cooperate honestly, and may even make a decision on his own. ”
"Don't worry, Lu Santong and they have already passed, I can guarantee that he has no chance to commit suicide."
Jiang Chen was about to leave, but Shen Xueying took a step forward, she reminded Jiang Chen, "Where are you going?" ”
"To the dungeon, of course."
"You seem to have forgotten one thing, you are not a member of the Night Punishment Division at all, and of course you have no right to enter the dungeon."
Jiang Chen was a little angry, and when he saw the expression on Shen Xueying's face, he immediately understood that this woman wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge and kick him away.
How can there be such a cheap reason, let me do my best, now is the time to dig out the truth, but deliberately did not let me participate, what a joke!
Seeing that Jiang Chen's face was wrong, Shen Xueying immediately added: "If you join our Night Punishment Division, I will naturally let you go unimpeded, but not now." ”
Shen Xueying said that, walked out of the house quickly, and disappeared in front of the two in the blink of an eye with an elegant figure.
Jiang Chen suddenly realized that this person named Ji Bei seemed to have touched the interests of all parties, so much so that he became an object that had to be strictly guarded.
The people of Xuanyan Mansion tried their best to save him, but the people of the Night Punishment Division were silent about his affairs, and Ji Bei himself told Jiang Chen that he was from Qishan!
In any case, Jiang Chen was very interested in the secret of this person, and if possible, he hoped to meet Ji Bei face to face again.
It's just that after tonight, Shen Xueying seems unlikely to let him in, so this matter has to be considered in the long run.
But no matter what, Jiang Chen couldn't think about saving Ji Bei, and this guy's self-righteous tone was still quite unpleasant.
"Wait a minute, that'...... So what do I do? ”
Jiang Chen was also about to leave, when Yu Wenshi behind him suddenly spoke: "Those vicious people will attack me again at any time, you can't ignore me!" ”
"She's gone, aren't you talking to me?"
Jiang Chen pointed in the direction where Shen Xueying had left, and then looked at Yu Wenshi with a surprised expression.
"Didn't you save me once? But the people of Xuanyan Mansion won't stop until they reach their goal, so they can't just ignore me, right? ”
Jiang Chen told Yu Wenshi: "Next, you should seek help from the people of the Night Punishment Division, if they want to continue to manage you, they will naturally keep you safe, and you also know that I am not from the Night Punishment Division, and I don't have the ability to help you." ”
"This ......"
Without waiting for Yu Wenshi to react, Jiang Chen also disappeared like a ghost.
The next day, Jiang Chen came to Han Yuyang to discuss the next step, and the two analyzed the current situation and felt that it would be more unfavorable for Qishan if the time dragged on.
At present, there have been several waves of ministers who have jointly called for the abolition of the Qishan battalion, and they all regard Qishan as a danger to the henchmen of the entire Daqian court.
They believe that the commander of the dignified army will be assassinated by his own lieutenant, which means that this person has long lost control of military power, and it is not possible that this lieutenant general is secretly colluding with Beiyan.
In order to prevent the Qishan Iron Cavalry from being used by others, the imperial court must make a decision and extinguish this threat that may ignite at any time in advance.
Although the emperor tried his best to override public opinion and temporarily pressed this matter down, judging from the situation so far, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty wanted to eradicate Qishan, and maybe one day the emperor would not be able to withstand the pressure and do what they said.
Therefore, Jiang Chen's actions must be accelerated, and only by clearing the suspicion as soon as possible can we ensure that Qishan can be safe and sound.
"Do you trust this Shen Xueying?" Han Yuyang suddenly asked Jiang Chen.
"It's not trust, but we have common interests, so we only work together for a short time, and at most we use each other."
Jiang Chen then asked Han Yuyang a question, "Do you know Ji Bei?" ”
"I haven't heard of it, but as far as I know, there shouldn't be such a person, unless he was a nobody when he was in Qishan."
Duanmu Qing on the side also nodded.
But Jiang Chen felt that the person who could make such a big battle shouldn't just be a nobody, maybe he just used a pseudonym.
Because he was put on the spot by Shen Xueying, so that the key clues that should have been further excavated next could not be investigated smoothly now, Jiang Chen decided to take the initiative and make Shen Xueying regret his actions.
