Chapter 152: Thorough Investigation of the Yan Family
Chapter 152: Thorough Investigation of the Yan Family
"I confess, I confess. It was the servant of Master Yan's family who gave me the money and asked me to clean up Liweilou. I really don't know anything else!" The thin man knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, crying bitterly.
"Master Yan?" Jiang Xing was a little confused when he heard the name.
"It's the nephew of that serious Tongzhi!" The thin man no longer concealed it. Looking at the man in white in front of him who was sitting firmly in front of Lord Wei, he knew that Master Yan might have hit a wall.
"Neeple of Tongzhi Yan? What does Lord Wei think?" Jiang Xing turned and looked at Lord Wei again.
Lord Wei then understood who the man was talking about. It was Yan Rong, Lord Wei's nephew. Yan Rong was a rather dissolute man and Lord Wei usually turned a blind eye to his crimes. But now he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended, so Lord Wei had to handle the matter impartially.
"Someone, bring Yan Rong to me. Don't take it too seriously!" As soon as Lord Wei said this, Captain Li and others understood and immediately went to Yan's house to arrest him.
Inside the Yan residence, Yan Rong was drinking and having fun with a bunch of friends. Hearing a loud noise coming from outside, he couldn't help feeling unhappy.
"What's the commotion?" Yan Rong asked, frowning.
"Master, something bad has happened. The police are here to arrest you!" A servant ran in panic and reported.
"What? Who is so bold as to arrest me?" Yan Rong slammed the table and stood up, his face full of anger.
"Yes...it was Lord Wei who personally ordered your arrest." The servant answered tremblingly.
"Hmph! That old guy actually dared to touch me? I will not let him go when my uncle comes back!" Yan Rong said gritting his teeth.
However, before he could put up any resistance, he was taken away by Captain Li and other officers.
On the other side, inside Liwei Building, everyone was shocked and curious about this sudden change.
"I didn't expect that he even dared to arrest the nephew of Yan Tongzhi. This Lord Wei is truly impartial and just!" someone sighed.
"That's right. It seems that the person behind this incident is not simple!" another person echoed.
Jiang Xing sat quietly aside, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if everything was under control.
Not long after, Yan Rong was taken to Liweilou.
"Let me go! How dare you, a bunch of bastards, attack me?" Yan Rong cursed while struggling.
"Shut up! Yan Rong, do you admit your guilt?" Lord Wei asked with a gloomy face.
"What crime have I committed?" Yan Rong asked back arrogantly.
"You ordered others to destroy Liwei Tower and attempted to injure people. The evidence is conclusive. What else do you have to say?" Lord Wei said sternly.
Yan Rong was stunned when he heard this. He never thought that what he did had been discovered and caused such a big fuss.
"No, that's not the case. It must be a misunderstanding!" Yan Rong explained quickly.
"Misunderstanding? Do you think I will believe it so easily?" Lord Wei sneered, "Come here, throw Yan Rong into the prison and wait for your punishment.
"Master Wei, wait a minute!" Before Captain Li could take Yan Rong away, Yan Yan hurried over.
"Director Yan, the evidence is irrefutable. Your nephew hired someone to kill someone and framed Liweilou. This case must be severely punished."
"Sir Wei, it was just that the servants acted recklessly, and Rong'er was unaware of it!" Yanzhang knew the whole story before he came. Fortunately, it was the servants who handled the matter that gave him a chance.
"How dare a servant do what he wants without the master's permission? Lord Yan, your ability to whitewash the truth is indeed extraordinary." A cold voice came. Murong Xue and Jiang Li came back from shopping. Jiang Li was so angry that he was about to speak, but Murong Xue beat him to the punch.
"Who are you? We are reporting a case here at the government office. How dare a little girl like you speak nonsense here?"
Seriously looking at the woman in front of him who was wearing a red and black outfit, Murong Xue didn't like to wear her hair in a bun, her black hair was tied up high and fixed with a jade hairpin, giving people a heroic feeling.
Xie Lan and Jiang Xing looked at each other, the corners of their mouths slightly raised, this serious matter is really ignorant and fearless!
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that there is solid evidence that Yan Rong hired someone to kill someone and framed Liweilou. He also bullies the people and does all kinds of evil on a daily basis. Isn't it your uncle who supports him?" As soon as Murong Xue's words came out, all kinds of voices came out among the people. When Yan Rong was arrested, there were people condemning him, but when the situation became serious, everyone chose to remain silent.
"You are talking nonsense. Who are you? Lord Wei, how dare you let a woman talk nonsense here?" Although Yan Yan is a co-magistrate, his family is a big family in Huizhou city. Since Lord Wei took office, the Yan family has been restricted in every way, and the relationship between the Yan family and other families in Huizhou city is also complicated.
"Come here, tie up this ignorant woman for me." Yanzhang ordered the people behind him. They were all sent by the branches of the major families in Huizhou City. They were ready to move with their weapons in hand. In an instant, Captain Li and the people brought by Yanzhang were confronted.
"Let's see who dares!" Jiang Xing held up a gold medal in his hand, as if the emperor himself was present.
When Lord Wei saw this, he quickly knelt down. When the others saw Lord Wei kneeling down, they also knelt down one after another, even Murong Xue was not spared.
Yanzhang was so panicked when he saw the gold medal in his hand. Who on earth was this person? At this moment, Yuanchu stepped forward and kicked Yanzhang so hard that he knelt down.
"General Murong Xue and Lord Wei, please stand up!" Jiang Xing said.
"General Murong Xue!"
"General Murong Xue?" Lord Wei and Yanzhang looked at Murong Xue at the same time. This woman was actually a general. Yanzhang was a native of Huizhou, but Lord Wei was not. He had been to the capital, so he naturally had a general understanding of the officials there. Could it be that the person in front of them was the Grand Princess's adopted daughter, Princess Murong Xue, and also the General Murong who guarded the northwest?
"Greetings, General Murong." At this time, Lord Wei addressed her as General Murong instead of Princess. This was a recognition of her abilities.
"Hello, Lord Wei." Murong Xue also nodded in greeting.
"Lord Wei, imprison Yan Rong and others. Yan Yan will be temporarily suspended from his post pending investigation. We will deal with him separately after the investigation is complete!" Jiang Xing's quick handling made Murong Xue couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. As expected, the youngest Dali Temple Minister of the Shang Dynasty handled cases quickly, accurately and ruthlessly!
"No, no, no, you have no right to deal with me." Yan Yan now regretted coming here to plead for Yan Rong. He thought that he could just say a few words to Lord Wei as usual and the matter would be resolved. He didn't expect to meet someone with a higher official position than Lord Wei!
"Yuanchu, send Yan Yan back home. Lord Wei, the affairs of the Yan family should be investigated as soon as possible!" After Jiang Xing finished speaking, he had someone help him into the building. The wailing of the uncle and nephew of the Yan family outside gradually faded away.
