The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 180 The Discovery in the Ruins
Seeing Jiang Nian, Xiao Jingtian's originally unattractive face became even uglier.

He felt that if he was in conflict with Jiang Nian, he was everywhere!And it doesn't work every time!

"General Xiao is coming aggressively, I don't know what to do?"

Before Xiao Jingtian could speak, Jiang Nian spoke up first.

Xiao Jingtian's face was gloomy, and he didn't hesitate, "There was a fire in the Green Bamboo Hall, and one of my generals was burned to death. I was going to seek justice for my brother. His Royal Highness happened to be here. I was going to hear that the murderer who set the fire was on his way. It is His Majesty's companion, Huiyuan of this year's Chunwei, Yan Qingchi, the daughter of Taifu Yan, and Shuntian Mansion are planning to protect the murderer."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the scene, and found that there was no expected figure.

Jiang Nian looked indifferent, "Shuntian Mansion will not shield criminals, and His Majesty will not favor one's own interests, but the case is still under investigation, and whether the murderer is Qingchi remains to be verified."

When Xiao Jingtian heard the words, his gaze deepened a bit, and at the same time he looked up and down at Jiang Nian, as if he was considering the authenticity of his words.

At this time, one of Xiao Jingtian's subordinates came over with an excited expression, "General, General Pan's body has been found!"

After finishing speaking, another soldier came over grabbing Wu Zuo, and said sharply, "Tell me, how did our General Pan Shen die?"

Who in the imperial capital didn't know that General Jianwei held a heavy army and dared to raise his sword to challenge the emperor. Whenever the common people saw anyone wearing armor, they would detour far away.

The assistant was picked up like a chicken, and shrank, he said, "General...General...that General Pan has soot in his mouth and nose, and his body looks like a fist fight. He was burned alive."

Xiao Jingtian's face darkened a bit, although he was a general who had a habit of Long Yang, but he never made mistakes in marching and fighting.It would be fine if he was killed by someone else, but Ning Yuezhao's person did it, which made him give up his already somewhat reconciled heart.

Hearing that General Pan Shen was indeed burned to death, the soldiers who came with Xiao Jingtian became excited and demanded that Xiao Jingtian must be the master for him!

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang Nian frowned frequently.Emphasizing friendship is a good thing, but if you lose your mind, you will be tired of friendship.Perhaps Xiao Jingtian didn't realize that he regarded his subordinates as siblings and stood up for them in everything. Not only did he gain a notoriety for himself, but he also indulged his subordinates to run amok in the imperial capital.Not to mention that Lu Ji, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, is here, and even his husband, these people don't pay attention to him at all. If things go on like this, it will be a disaster.

Seeing Jiang Nian frowning in thought, Xiao Jingtian said in a cold voice, "What do you say?"

With one hand behind his back, Jiang Nian said calmly, "It's not just General Xiao's subordinates who were killed in the fire. See if there are any over there. The family members of Duke Pei, Marquis Dingyuan, and Yang Yushi are all there."

Xiao Jingtian followed his expectations, his expression became more and more gloomy.

His subordinates have already shouted first: "Can these people compare with our soldiers? Our deputy general Pan is a good fighter in fighting the enemy. If we soldiers don't throw their heads and blood, how can you, the royal relatives, be rich and happy? !"

As soon as he said this, Xiao Jingtian also felt that something was wrong, but he didn't say anything immediately.

Jiang Nian smiled, "As soldiers, you are supported by the imperial court to guard the country and protect the people. The military expenses allocated by the imperial court come from the taxes paid by the common people. Now you are openly despising the imperial court and the common people. How dare you ask me What is the meaning of this!"

His voice was not loud, and his tone was light, but it was enough for the people present to hear clearly.Those people who have been oppressed by soldiers in recent days have echoed Jiang Nian——

"We don't dare to regard ourselves as the food and clothing parents of these military masters. If we see them from afar on the road, we have to avoid them!"

"No, if you block the way of Master Bing, you will be beaten!"

"How can we avoid them all? If the soldiers are hungry and thirsty, who will feed them?"

These people have been oppressed by these officers and soldiers for a long time, and dare not speak out. Now someone finally speaks for them. Although they don't know the exact identity of the other party, but the man in front of him is noble and looks quite powerful in the past. The people suddenly I have some confidence!Anyway, the worst result is to continue to be bullied, even if you struggle a bit.

When Xiao Jingtian heard the people's discussion, he cast a stern look at the subordinate who had just spoken, "Is what they said true?"

The soldier's face changed suddenly, and he hesitated: "General, don't be fooled by him. I just saw that the carriages of Pei Guogong, Dingyuanhou, Yang Yushi and other ministers were all heading towards the palace. They must be asking the emperor for an explanation. Let's go, why don't we enter the palace together..."

He was interrupted by Xiao Jingtian before he finished speaking, "You just need to tell me whether you have bullied the people!"

The man felt guilty, "General..."

Disappointment suddenly flashed in Xiao Jingtian's eyes, "I will treat you like brothers and sisters, and I pity you for going through life and death with me. It's not easy, so I thought I could win a little more preferential treatment for you, but I didn't want to encourage your arrogance. arrogance!"

The soldiers who came with Xiao Jingtian suddenly looked a little unhappy, and all of them lost the confidence to shout just now.

An older general said, "General, it's not too late to punish the brothers if they make mistakes, but General Pan Shen can't die in vain!"

Xiao Jingtian glanced at Jiang Nian, who was calm and calm, and said loudly: "Since the Shuntian Mansion should be responsible for this matter, it is inconvenient for the general to force him with military power. You can do it yourself and give the deceased an explanation! Only the people who can afford to pay the tax!"

He is using Jiang Nian's exact words to block him. Doesn't the government's salary also come from the tax burden?

Before Jiang Nian could open his mouth, Lu Ji cupped his hands towards Xiao Jingtian, "Don't need to say much about General Xiao, since Lu is acting as Shuntian Governor for the time being, he will give an explanation to the people of the imperial capital! Live up to the emperor's grace and the people's high expectations !"

Lu Ji's words were loud and powerful.

Those who were originally dissatisfied with Shuntian Mansion and felt that Lu Ji was covering up the murderer lost their reason to make trouble, and the number of onlookers gradually decreased.

But the family members of the deceased were especially unwilling, "My lord, when will you give us an explanation?"

"Three days." Lu Ji made up his mind, "After three days, if I can't find out the truth of the case, I will pick up my black yarn and leave with my seal!"

"My lord, you must keep your word! Otherwise, we will go to the palace gate and roll a nailboard to sue the imperial court. We have to seek justice for our family!"

Lu Ji looked firm, "Three days later, either the murderer will be punished, or I will resign and apologize!"

Seeing that he had already talked about this, the aggrieved family members could only give up for the time being. Although some people still didn't want to leave, they stopped making noise.

In the night, there is a cool breeze.In order to facilitate the investigation of the case, torches were lit all around, illuminating this side of the world as bright as day.

Jiang Nian glanced at Ming Han who had been standing quietly by the side, and said slowly, "Young Master Ming, since you rescued Qingchi and Ah Qi, and you happened to be there when the incident happened, then there will be doubts about this case, and there is no question about it." You will be sent for questioning, now you can go back."

Ming Han cupped his fists toward Jiang Nian and said, "It is my honor to be able to serve the government."

Jiang Nian waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

Looking at Ming Han's leaving figure, Lu Ji frowned and said, "This man is so perfect that he doesn't look like a real person."

Jiang Nian's eyes deepened, "What I like is tearing up this kind of perfection."

Lu Ji glanced at him in surprise, and smiled strangely, "When I first met some people, they were too perfect to look like real people. At that time, I felt that this person was very fake. Until now, I still see Can't see through this person."

Jiang Nian looked back at him, his eyes dimmed for a moment, his face still calm and composed.

Lu Ji smiled, "But I know, he is a good man."

nice guyJiang Nian secretly smiled wryly, did not answer his words, but only motioned to the two plain-clothes guards who stayed behind with him, "Go and keep an eye on him."

The two guards looked at each other and hesitated, "Your Highness, there are only two subordinates left by your side. If we all leave, who will be responsible for your safety?"

The corner of Jiang Nian's mouth lightly raised, "There are so many people from Shuntian Mansion here, can something happen to Gu? Go!"

His voice could not be rejected, and the guards had no choice but to take orders.

Lu Ji shook his head, Jiang Nian is really an incomprehensible person, he always thinks more than others.

At this time, Lu Ji didn't know what price Jiang Nian had paid for such delicate thoughts and consideration.

And Jiang Nian didn't give him too much time to think. He looked at the main building that had almost turned into scorched earth, and said, "Let's go, three days will pass in a blink of an eye, hurry up and check."

"You..." Lu Ji looked at Jiang Nian in disbelief. He knew that before Jiang Nian became a son-in-law, he had instructed the commander of the imperial army to investigate the case of the Dianzang Pavilion fire.At that time, because Jiang Nian himself was also involved in the case, but now that he has become the emperor's husband, he actually wants to go into the ruins to check in person?
Lu Ji's doubts were quickly answered. Jiang Nian patted him on the shoulder, and regardless of how he responded, he stepped onto the ruins.He couldn't lag behind, and immediately caught up with Jiang Nian.

In the process of inspecting the ruins, some charred corpses were cleared from the scorched earth.

Jiang Nian, who had been rummaging through the scorched earth, suddenly said, "I told you not to let go of every corpse, and you must examine it carefully. If you're weak tonight, go back to rest and carry the corpse to Yizhuang for storage."

So far, the number of corpses dug up has reached 43, and the work is almost non-stop, but only the tenth one has been examined.

Although Lu Ji didn't understand why Jiang Nian gave such an order, he believed in him wholeheartedly, so he followed his request without hesitation.

When Wu Zuo received this order, he couldn't help muttering, "Ten consecutive inspections showed that all of them were burnt to death. This is obviously the corpse dug up from the fire scene. Could it be possible to mix in other corpses?"

Looking at the horrific corpses, the expert who has done autopsy for more than ten years can't help but shudder. He has never seen so many dead people in his life.

When he continued to examine two more, he was already yawning again and again, and his movements gradually became less agile.Although the adults said that you can go back to sleep and come back if your energy is low, but who wants to face this pile of charred corpses tomorrow morning?
So, Wu Zuo inspected it almost casually, and filled in the conclusion that he was burned to death on the corpse.

Just as he hurriedly filled out the corpse and was about to move on to the next one, a slightly indifferent but extremely serious male voice sounded behind him——

"This corpse was clearly burned after death. Why did you write that he was burned to death?"
