Right at this moment, one of the crying women suddenly saw Ye QingChen and pounced over, kneeling on the ground and wailing,""Lord Qingtian has made the decision, and the Ninth Prince has made the decision. My son's family has died so tragically!”
Qi Jiguang leaped forward and shouted in a dignified manner,""How dare you block the Sword King's path?”
The woman raised her head. She was about thirty years old and still had her charm. She said with a bitter face,"My son's family, more than ten people, were slaughtered overnight, but none of the Holy Capital's government offices accepted the case. If the Ninth Prince doesn't accept the case, I will kill myself in front of the Jinyiwei's gate!”
"Are you threatening the Sword King?”Qi Jiguang said angrily, wanting to chase him away.
"Wait."
Ye QingChen stopped Qi Jiguang's actions and said calmly,""The Jinyiwei has accepted this case. Bring them all into the yamen.”
[Ding…Triggered mission: The Jiang Family Massacre Case.] [Quest Details: Find the murderer of Jiang Feng's family and reveal the truth to the world.] [Mission Time: Three days.] [Mission completed: Reward: Lottery Card x1, Martial Arts Fusion Card x1, Top-grade Comprehension Pill x10.]
"Thank you, Ninth Prince. Thank you, Ninth Prince.”
The beautiful young woman repeatedly kowtowed.
"The Ninth Prince is indeed benevolent and will definitely arrest the murderer!”
"I told you that the Jinyiwei would definitely take over this case.”
"Most of the murder cases in the martial world are left unsolved. I don't think the Ninth Prince can solve them.”
The onlookers still did not disperse and were still gathered in front of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
In the government office
Ye QingChen took the lead and walked into the hall, asking,""What exactly happened?"
Qi Jiguang quickly said," The murder happened three days ago. A manor of the Jiang family in the northern suburbs of the Holy Capital was burned down by fire. The eldest son of the Jiang family, his wife, two newborn babies, and more than ten servants all died. Their bodies were also destroyed by the fire and were difficult to identify.”
Ye QingChen frowned." Since the manor was on fire, it should be handled by the Ministry of Justice or the Military Department of the five cities. Are they not going to take the case?"”
Qi Jiguang said," It's not that I don't want to accept it, but I don't dare to accept it because a key person is involved."”
"Who is it?"
" Pure Yang Sword God Yan Nantian!"
Ye QingChen narrowed his eyes. He naturally knew of Yan Nantian's name. He was one of the top ten sword gods in the martial arts world. He was known to be invincible in both fist and sword techniques. He was a terrifying figure who was on par with the White Cloud City Lord, Ye Gucheng. His sword arts cultivation was earth-shattering.
"Wait, since Yan Nantian is involved, could it be that the person who died was Jiang Feng?”Ye QingChen suddenly said.
Qi Jiguang said," It's Jiang Feng. This Jiang family is a famous merchant in the Saint Capital. They are extremely wealthy." After learning that Jiang Feng, his wife, and the two babies had died, Father Jiang fainted. The person who had stopped His Highness outside just now was Jiang Feng's mother.”
After saying that, Qi Jiguang whispered again: " Your Highness, this case is not normal. In my opinion, there should be someone deliberately pushing it behind the scenes to put Your Highness in danger."”
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Ye QingChen asked with a smile.
"According to my investigation, after the Jiang family received the bad news, they first went to the Ministry of Justice to report it, then went to the East Chamber to report it. The people from the East Chamber investigated the scene and then left.”
"Soon after, the news of the Jiang family's extermination spread throughout the Holy Capital, causing a storm. Mother Jiang even ordered people to carry a stretcher to the Jinyiwei government office to seek justice, attracting countless people to watch. It was impossible to say that there was no one behind this.”
Ye QingChen nodded his head slightly. Zhu Yuanzhang's trap could be said to be extremely brilliant.
Even if he knew that this was a case deliberately transferred by the East Chamber, he had to take over due to the pressure of the fishing boats of the people of the Holy Capital.
The most amazing thing was that this case involved the Pure Yang Sword God, Yan Nantian.
Once the Jinyiwei failed to handle the case, the East Chamber would spread rumors that the Sword King conferred by the Human Emperor was afraid of the Sword God conferred by the Jianghu.
At that time, a crime that would damage the reputation of the royal family would be enough to make Ye QingChen lose his Saint Heart.
This move was very cunning and vicious!
At this moment, a guard in embroidered clothes suddenly walked in and cupped his fists."Your Highness, the imperial edict has arrived."
Ye QingChen frowned slightly and said,"Please enter."”
After a while, a middle-aged eunuch with a pale face and no beard was invited in. He said in a dignified manner,""Sword King, please accept the edict."
Qi Jiguang and the others immediately knelt down.
Ye QingChen also stood up and said,""Read it."
The middle-aged eunuch said solemnly,""Your Majesty has ordered that the case of the Jiang family's extermination must be solved as soon as possible.”
This short sentence was as heavy as Mount Tai!
This case has been reported to the heavens!
Qi Jiguang was shocked. The thing he was most worried about still happened.
The Brocade Guard had just been established, but its authority was so great that it almost overshadowed the old Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa and the East Chamber. Even though this was personally decided by the Human Emperor, it still caused dissatisfaction among the civil and military officials.
If they lost the Saint's Heart again this time, the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'reputation would be completely ruined.
"Go back and tell Imperial Father that the Embroidered Uniform Guards have accepted this case. Within three days, the case will definitely be solved!"”
The middle-aged eunuch revealed a surprised expression, and then nodded."This servant will obey."
After the eunuch left, Ye QingChen returned to his seat and said in a dignified manner,""Let's begin the trial now. Bring Mother Jiang to the palace.”
Soon, Jiang Feng's mother was brought up, still looking like a weeping beauty.
"Ninth Prince, my son's family died a tragic death. Please uphold justice and arrest the murderer, Yan Nantian!”Mother Jiang fell to the ground and said in pain.
She was born as a young lady of a big family, and her etiquette was outstanding. Even though she was grief-stricken, she still maintained a bit of elegance, giving people a feeling of pity.
Ye QingChen's sharp senses caught a point and asked,""You said that Yan Nantian killed Jiang Feng's family?”
"That's right." Mrs. Jiang replied affirmatively.
