Shi Kan confessed truthfully, and also hoped that Zhang Tang could ask for a favor in front of the emperor.

It doesn't matter if he dies alone, of course, don't implicate the family.

He knew that there would be such an end after all, and Shi Kan could only accept his fate.

Zhang Tang pinched Shi Kan's weakness, although he did not mention Liu Jian.

It's not that Shi Kan doesn't want to confess him, once he confesses.

His family's fate was even worse, and Zhang Tang recorded his confession.

"Take a look, if it's confirmed, it's fine. Just sign it and press your handprint. ”

As for the matter that Shi Kan concealed, Xuan Yiwei must have known.

will report to Liu Che, Zhang Tang doesn't want to continue to investigate.

His mission was to investigate the case of the assassination of Honghou, because Shi Kan confessed truthfully.

The investigation here is basically over, just waiting for the progress on the side of the Red Marquis.

Two days passed, and Jiang Chong came to the Red Marquis Kingdom.

He is in charge of investigating the assassination of Honghou, of whom Honghou is the victim.

Since the last time the Assassin assassinated Liu Zhang during the spring ploughing, he had pacified the people of the Red Marquis Kingdom.

Let them continue to plow the land and reassure them that nothing like this will happen again.

The county government sent people to patrol the Red Marquis Country to never let such incidents happen again.

The county order was reprimanded by the Taishou faction, and Honghou was almost killed.

This was a dereliction of duty on the part of the prefectural magistrate, who in turn reprimanded his subordinates.

Those subordinates have nowhere to vent their suffering, and they don't dare to complain about Honghou.

They didn't dare to spill their anger on the people, they could only endure the hardships and grievances.

Jiang Chong followed Liu Zhang to the living room, and the two sides sat opposite each other.

"Your Excellency, Captain Ben is here to investigate your assassination on the orders of His Majesty."

Jiang Chong looked serious, his current position was Ting Weizheng.

is Tingwei's deputy, responsible for assisting Tingwei in the trial of prison cases.

Liu Zhang looked at Jiang Chong, who was not smiling, he was one of the participants in the history of creating the scourge of witchcraft and killing the crown prince Liu Ju.

Liu Che wanted to use the witch Gu incident to eliminate the threat of his relatives, and Jiang Chong had a conflict with Liu Zhi.

This led to the tragedy, and Jiang Chong had no friends in the court.

He is a lonely minister, he is a sharp blade in Liu Che's hands.

Jiang Chong never showed favoritism in dealing with things, and the emperor's relatives made mistakes.

As long as it is within the scope of his duties, he will definitely not give mercy.

Therefore, Jiang Chong was deeply trusted by Liu Che, and those imperial relatives were all afraid of him.

Jiang Chong's real name is Jiang Qi, and the word is Qian. A native of Handan, Zhao State, because of the festival with the crown prince Liu Dan.

He escaped from Handan and reported to Liu Che that Liu Dan had committed lawlessness in the feudal country.

His family was killed, so he formed a blood feud with Liu Dan.

Liu Dan was deposed as the crown prince, and more than two years ago, the main father Yan also impeached Liu Dan.

Jiang Chong took this opportunity to denounce it, which also played a role in fueling the flames.

From then on, he never dared to set foot in the territory of Zhao again.

It will not be because he is Liu Che's most trusted courtier, he is not afraid of Liu Pengzu and Liu Dan.

Jiang Chong is a rigorous person who does not bend the law for personal gain.

Liu Che appointed him as Zhang Tang's deputy, which shows that his ability is still good.

If it weren't for the fact that he used the scourge of witchcraft to kill the crown prince Liu Ju, maybe he would be less scolded.

Since Liu Zhang knew what Jiang Chong would do in the future, even if he killed him.

The witch curse will happen again, will the crown prince Liu Ji die?

It's hard to say, without Jiang Chong's participation, the witch curse will still happen.

This is the inevitability of history, wait until then, and see if you can help Liu Ju commit suicide.

Although he could not succeed to the throne smoothly, at least he could survive without worry.

There are still more than thirty years before the witch curse happens, and Liu Zhang doesn't need to kill Jiang Chong because the witch curse will happen in the future.

"What does Jiang Tingwei want to know? I know it all. ”

must cooperate with Jiang Chong's investigation, and he is also a victim.

"Ben Tingwei is asking the Marquis, do you suspect who carried out the assassination?"

Liu Zhang didn't want to say that he had no conclusive evidence.

If he said it, he might think that he had falsely accused the king of Jiangdu.

"I don't have conclusive evidence, those assassins have hard mouths."

To this day, no one has been known from the Assassins who instructed them, although it is known that Liu Jian instructed them.

"You have to cooperate with Ben Tingweizheng's investigation and speak out your suspicions. Don't be worried, that's what Your Majesty means. ”

"Then I'll say it, I suspect it's the king of Jiangdu. It's just that I don't have hard evidence, and I don't want to falsely accuse him. ”

If the false accusation fails, he will be punished, and the punishment in the Han Dynasty is very harsh.

Although he is a red marquis, the situation around him is not in his favor.

"You talk to Ben Tingwei about the process of offending the king of Jiangdu."

Jiang Chong has to do business, no matter what Liu Zhang's identity is.

Recent events have alarmed the imperial court and have had a significant impact on the surrounding counties.

If it is not dealt with properly, some princes and princes will be panicked.

They also fear that they will be assassinated, and they wonder who planned it.

Liu Zhang told Jiang Chong about the matter, no matter what kind of punishment the imperial court imposed on Liu Jian.

It doesn't matter anymore, this is the last time he tolerates.

The next time Liu Jian threatens the lives of him and his family, he will end Liu Jian ahead of schedule.

Jiang Chong quickly made notes, and it seemed that the case had developed to a very serious level.

Judging from the cause of the incident, the Red Marquis assisted the local government to catch the gangsters who had robbed the young woman.

The county government interrogated Cui Wu and others without getting results, and sent Cui Wu and others to the county government for interrogation.

Cui Wu and others were exterminated, and the king of Jiangdu held a grudge against Honghou for meddling in his affairs.

So they sent men to assassinate him, but they failed.

There were eyewitnesses to several assassinations, and the incident quickly spread in the surrounding counties.

Presumably, Honghou was very angry and kept holding back.

"The county government and the county government also sent people to ask me, and my answer was the same as what I just said. I only suspect the Commander, but I can't help him. ”

Because of this, he has been very troubled recently.

But it has not yet reached the point where he can't bear it anymore, but Liu Jian doesn't know how to converge.

"Ben Tingwei will be in the Red Marquis Kingdom for a few days to gather more evidence. Then hand it over to Your Majesty, and ask the Marquis to be patient. ”

first appease Liu Zhang's emotions and go to Honghou to investigate.

It is much easier than going to Jiangduguo to investigate the case, and Jiang Chong also has to visit eyewitnesses.

Gather more evidence, and perhaps the Red Marquis will be compensated.

King Jiangdu will not be punished too severely, he has a criminal record.

Xu Xuan brought refreshments and let them drink tea and eat snacks.

Xu Mian put the delicate tea cup in front of Jiang Chong, and then put down the delicious dim sum.

Jiang Chong looked at Xu Xuan, who was very beautiful.

Jiang Chong has also seen Xu Zheng's information, she is a Huns.

Her people were defeated and reduced to slavery.

"Your real name is Lan Tijie, and you are a Huns. Before being pardoned, she was a maidservant of the Red Marquis's Mansion. ”

"Yes, the little girl has been pardoned by His Majesty, and the little girl is now an ordinary people's girl."

Jiang Chong knew her information, so it was not surprising.

"Do you have any contact with your people?" Jiang Chong asked Xu Xuan again.

"A few days ago, I met my younger brother Lan Xuan, and I have not been reunited with other clansmen so far."

Jiang Chong asked him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Maybe it was a deliberate test for him, or maybe it was suspected that he had a secret connection with the Xiongnu.

"Although the little girl is a Hun person, she has no connection with the Hun nobles. Please also check clearly and do not listen to other people's rumors. ”

Xu Xuan speculated that someone might spread rumors, believing that she stayed in Honghou Mansion to spy on intelligence.

It has been three years since she came to the Honghou Mansion and she has not participated in the struggle between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu.

She served Liu Zhang with all her heart, even if she told others.

It's hard to believe that she also has endless bitterness and grievances in her heart.

She is also a victim of the war, and she just wants to live a good life with Lang Jun.

"If there are no other instructions, the little girl will retire first."

Xu Xuan was ready to step back, and it would not prevent them from talking about business.

"There are no other orders, you can step back first."

Liu Zhang waved his hand lightly, and he also noticed that Jiang Chong's gaze fell on Xu Xuan.

Maybe Jiang Chong liked Xu Xuan at a glance, and he might ask him for it later.

Xu Jian is not a maid now, and she can't give it away at will.

"Jiang Tingweizheng, she is now an ordinary folk girl."

is to remind him that Xu Xuan cannot be given away and sold.

"This woman is beautiful and looks very intelligent. Have you ever thought about taking him as a concubine? She's a Huns. ”

Jiang Chong reminded Liu Zhang to consider carefully, the Xiongnu were enemies of the Han Dynasty.

Don't get yourself in trouble, in case someone makes a fuss about Xu Xuan's identity.

aroused His Majesty's suspicion, and no one could save him.

"She is a woman who keeps to herself, and she stays in the Honghou Mansion on weekdays. Nor has he been in contact with strangers, I can assure him. ”

Maybe Xu Xuan will encounter a lot of trouble in the future, just because of the identity of the Xiongnu.

He is also trying to find a way to protect Xu Xuan's thoughtfulness and not let her get hurt and wronged.
