Duke Zhenguo's Public House: What do you think Brother Xuan is doing? Is he really rebelling?" Niu Liang said anxiously.
"You silly fool, do you think Brother Xuan is as stupid and brainless as you? This was definitely a decree. Although I don't know what happened, it must be something big.”Niu Jizong slapped Niu Liang's head and said.
"Aiyo! Father! Why are you so ruthless?" Niu Liang covered his head and shouted.
"Kicking you is light. I want to slap you. You don't need to think about anything. How can I pass on the family business to you in the future? If you can learn ten percent of Brother Xuan's skill, I'll be burning incense.”Niu Jizong cursed.
"No matter how stupid you are, it's still your child." Niu Liang muttered in a low voice.
Come, follow your father to see what's going on. If there's anything, I can help.
The Craftsman Division asked," How is it? Are there any missing items?”
"Lord Marquis, the Craftsmen's Department is indeed missing two ballista bolts, and the treasurer committed suicide by taking poison when the soldiers surrounded the Craftsmen's Department.”Wang Chao replied.
"Oh? He committed suicide because he wanted to make sure that no one could testify.”Jia Xuan smiled and continued," Who is managing the warehouse? Bring it to me."”
"You can't do this to me. I want to see the emperor." An official was carried in by the soldiers. Jia Xuan was amused when he saw it. It was none other than the Fifth Rank official who was shouting at the entrance of the General Department.
"Shut up!" Jia Xuan shouted," Let me ask you, why are there two Eight Bull Crossbows missing from the warehouse? Don't tell me you took it home to hunt rabbits.”
"The General Works Department is under the direct jurisdiction of the Bureau of Military Personnel. You have no right to ask me this.”the official said.
"Hmph, you still dare to be stubborn when you're about to die? Just losing important armaments is enough to make you suffer. Take him away and interrogate him." Jia Xuan waved his hand.
"Report! The Royal Guards had all their weapons and equipment.”
"Got it. You may leave." Jia Xuan had long thought that this matter might not have anything to do with the Royal Guards because this matter was too big. It was so big that no one in the Royal Guards dared to cross the line. This was a crime that could be beheaded. The reason why he wanted to use this as an excuse to make a fuss was so that Jia Xuan could intimidate the enemies in the dark. Another reason was that Jia Xuan was afraid that the people from the Craftsmen Department would run away.
Now that the treasurer was dead, the clues were cut off. However, the crime of the Craftsmen Division had been confirmed, and it could be considered that he had a good reason. However, Jia Xuan still had to dig a little more to see if there were any new and valuable clues.
"Lord Marquis! There was a new clue. According to the servants of the Craftsmen Division, the treasurer often drank with the attendants of the Duke of Yue's son.”Wang Chao said.
"Lin Qiang, the heir of the Duke of Yue? Impossible. Although Lin Qiang was a little foppish, he would not be so stupid. Perhaps it was the enemy's trick. "Looks like I'll have to make a trip to the Duke of Yue Mansion," Jia Xuan muttered to himself.
"Men, prepare your horses and follow me to the Duke of Yue's Mansion.”Jia Xuan shouted as he walked out of the hall of the Craftsmen Department. Immediately, a personal guard led a horse over.
At the entrance of the Duke of Yue Residence, Jia Xuan led the Asura Army and surrounded the Duke of Yue Residence. Lin Zheng, who had received the news, brought his personal guards out to welcome them.
"Marquis Jia, what a mighty presence! What do you want to do by bringing troops to surround the Public House? Do you want to rebel?!" Lin Zheng asked sternly with a dark expression.
"Lin Gong, I was ordered by the emperor to investigate the loss of the military equipment. I found out that it was related to the servant of your prince, so I came to ask.”
When Lin Zheng heard Jia Xuan's words, he was shocked. He was really afraid that his son would be impulsive and do something irreparable.
"Do you have any evidence? Otherwise, my Yue Public House is not something you can come and go as you please.”Lin Zheng said expressionlessly.
"Of course there is. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to disturb Master Lin.”Jia Xuan said seriously.
"Men! Tie that bastard up and hand him over to Marquis Jia.”Immediately, a bodyguard went in to look for her.
A moment later, a bodyguard came to report," High Duke, Lin Er is dead! It's two deaths by hanging." Lin Zheng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Dead men could not speak, and it would be difficult for the Yue Public House to clear their name.
"Investigate! Who did he come into contact with these few days?”Lin Zheng said.
"Marquis Jia, come in and sit. When I'm done investigating, I'll naturally enter the palace with Marquis Jia and report to the Emperor.”Lin Zheng said.
"There's no need for that. The Craftsmen Department still has things to do, so Duke Lin can report to His Majesty directly.”Jia Xuan thought about it and still refused.
By the time Jia Xuan returned to the Craftsmen Division, that small official had already been beaten beyond recognition. "Jia Xuan, you abused the law without any reason. I'm going to report you to His Majesty.”The official said weakly.
"You still want to see His Majesty? You won't have a chance in this lifetime. I think you'd better tell me the truth. It was also good to atone for his sins and not implicate his family.”Jia Xuan said.
"Jia Xuan, don't slander me. At most, I'll be guilty of oversight, but my crime doesn't warrant death.”That minor official looked at Jia Xuan with resentment.
"Take him away!" Jia Xuan knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of him no matter how much he asked. In fact, Jia Xuan did not plan to ask anything in his heart. Those people actually dared to do it in broad daylight. Attacking him with the Eight Bulls Crossbow would naturally be done flawlessly. It was just that Jia Xuan did not understand who was in such a hurry to kill him. The most suspicious person was naturally Liang Junwang, but would he be so reckless? Although Lin Qiang was also a suspect, it wasn't a big one. It was not impossible for the Zhen family.
"Brother Xuan, how are you? Are you alright? I heard that you were attacked on your way back to the capital.”Just as Jia Xuan was deep in thought, Niu Jizong brought Niu Liang and the others over.
"These sacculas only know how to play these little tricks below. If Yours Truly found out who did it, Yours Truly would crush his balls.”Niu Liang said angrily.
"Uncle and brothers, don't worry. Xuan is fine.”Jia Xuan felt warmth in his heart.
"How is it? Any important clues?”Qin Yi asked.
"Now that the treasurer is dead, the clues have been cut off. There are no more valuable clues now.”Jia Xuan laughed.
"I heard that it has something to do with that bastard Lin Qiang? I knew that silkpants would only use such despicable methods.”Niu Liang said angrily.
"Brother Liang, I feel that this matter should have nothing to do with Lin Qiang. If Lin Qiang had done it, he would have done it long ago. It should be some people deliberately mystifying things." Qin Yi said.
"Yes! I also agree with my sworn brother. Although that Lin Qiang is a playboy, he doesn't have the guts to kill an official in broad daylight.”Liu Feng said.
"Thank you, Brother Feng. I'm just afraid that you'll think that we're all from the Jingyuan lineage and that I'm just helping Lin Qiang.”Qin Yi said.
