He was the commander of the Nine Soldiers and a member of the Military Hall. Of course, he wouldn't be thrown into jail just because of a little trouble.
However, for such a big shot to be confined in the mansion, he was already a prisoner!
Jiang Wang quickly realized the severity of the problem.
Huang Yixing's identity was sensitive!
How could he be the Governor of Hengyang County?
There was no other reason.
He was one of the flags of the Old Sun returning to Qi.
He was the best example of "Xianyang people are also Qi people".
Cao Jie scolded Huang Yixing out of anger. He also wanted to teach him a lesson. He couldn't bear to see Huang Yixing bring the old bureaucratic habits of Xianyang to Qi.
This wasn't a problem.
However, Huang Yixing's sudden death became a big problem!
Jiang Wang could totally imagine it. There would definitely be rumors that Cao Jie forced Huang Yixing to death!
To think that he, Huang Yixing, as a Qi citizen, was eagerly welcoming the returning heroes who had seized the first place. Although he was flattering them a bit, but he had the heart of patriotism; how could he be guilty?
Cao Jie kept saying that he was an old Xianyang bureaucrat. Did he not recognize Xianyang people as officials of Qi?
Qi now ruled the eastern region. How many countries had it swallowed? How many people had returned to Qi from other countries?
Even the prime minister, Jiang Rumo, was from Rong a few generations back.
So those people, the officials of those countries, were never recognized by the so-called "real Qi people"?
How were they supposed to deal with this?
The biggest problem was that —
Jiang Wang knew that this kind of "prejudice" and the superiority of "Xianyang people" was real!
Jiang Wang had already made contributions in the Qiyang battlefield and received the title of Man of Qingyang Town. Didn't Lei Zhanqian also see him as a country bumpkin? When he successfully came out of the Tianfu Secret Realm, he was already a follower of the Chongxuan Family. Didn't the fourteenth prince, Jiang Wuyong, also say that he had no background?
In this case, Huang Yixing and Cao Jie were both very representative.
One was an old Xianyang official. He controlled a county and could be considered a high-ranking official. The other was a local "Xianyang person". Step by step, he became a high-ranking official of Qi.
If this matter wasn't handled well, it would be a huge political issue!
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment, then said, "I wonder if there's anything else you want me to do?"
Now, he realized that the Northern Yamen had summoned him so formally. It couldn't be just for him to testify.
Who knew how many people in the entire Gui Qi group had witnessed the scene that day. The clues that Jiang Wang could provide would not be more than anyone else.
Xie Huaian looked at him and said, "The Emperor has decreed that Jiang Wang, a fourth-rank Blue Medal holder, is to investigate this case thoroughly. We must seek justice for Minister Huang in the underworld! "
It was indeed an order from the emperor himself!
Jiang Wang had no reason to refuse, so he cupped his hands and bowed in the direction of the Qi Palace. "This subject accepts the order!"
He was a Rank-4 Blue Medal holder. Being assigned to investigate a case was also in line with his duties. Although everyone knew that his ability to investigate cases was still questionable.
Of course, Jiang Wang would not be so stupid as to take charge of such a big case. This was not the Battle of the Yellow River. Whether he could win or not, he could just go and fight.
The Emperor had given him such an important case. If he didn't handle it well, he wouldn't just punish himself with three cups of wine.
After bowing, he said to Zheng Shi, "After all, I don't have much experience in cases. My ability to handle cases is limited. I'm only worried that I'll be careless and ruin the imperial court's plan."
Zheng Shi was his thigh in the Northern Yamen. Of course, he had to hold on tight.
Chief Zheng didn't disappoint him. He said, "Since the Emperor values you, you can do your best. Of course, I will also assign some elite constables to assist you. "
This was basically saying that he could just do it. As for the specific investigation, there would be professionals to do it.
At this moment, Deputy Chief Patrol Inspector Yang Weitong, who had been silent, suddenly said, "From what I see, Blue Medal Constable Lin Youxie is very suitable to assist Constable Jiang in this case."
Zheng Shi frowned. "Constable Lin's ability to handle cases is not a problem, but his strength …"
Yang Weitong smiled. "What's so important about handling cases in the Qi Palace? Furthermore, don't we have the world's number one Inner Yamen? "
These words didn't give anyone a reason to refute. Zheng Shi didn't mind either. He asked Xie Huaian, "What do you think?"
Xie Huaian sat upright and said slowly, "Inspecting the world is the Northern Yamen's job. I'm just an outsider. You can make the decision yourself. "
Just like how he, the Imperial Advisor, was sitting at the side. After all, this was the Northern Yamen. As for the specific case, it was still up to the Northern Yamen's County Chief.
Zheng Shi said to Jiang Wang, "Constable Lin Youxie will assist you in this case. Constable Jiang, the Emperor has high hopes for you. You must not disappoint him. "
Jiang Wang originally wanted to rely on the other thigh, Constable Yue Leng.
If Yue Leng went with him, wouldn't it be easy for him to follow?
However, just thinking about it made him realize that it was impossible. Yue Leng couldn't be his deputy. Even if Yue Leng agreed, with Yue Leng going with him, no one would acknowledge that this was Jiang Wang's case.
Lin Youxie was different. Due to her cultivation and status, she couldn't surpass Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang was very clear about her ability to handle cases.
He had always kept a distance from Lin Youxie precisely because Lin Youxie's eyes were too sharp.
Jiang Wang said politely, "I'll just do my best!"
Zheng Shi had already made his decision. There was no way he could change it. At this point, he couldn't ask for someone else. Moreover, he didn't know anyone who could be his deputy and was more capable than Lin Youxie.
However, he understood something in his heart.
It turned out that Yang Weitong … was one of Lin Youxie's connections in the capital.
In such a big case, letting Lin Youxie in was a kind of accumulation of experience.
At this time, Yang Weitong took out a scroll painting from his sleeve. He stood up and handed it to Jiang Wang, "In order to minimize the impact of this incident, the scene can't be preserved. This is the scene of Huang Yixing's death. We've already had an artist draw it. Huang Yixing's body is also sealed nearby for you to examine. "
Under the situation where the death scene couldn't be sealed, this was indeed the best way to deal with it. It preserved the clues to the greatest extent.
Jiang Wang took the scroll painting and unfolded it.
The whole painting was a composition of an overlooking perspective.
At this time, in the early morning light, in front of the tall city gate of Zhaoheng City, an old man with bloodstains on his face was lying on the ground. Surrounding him were shocked pedestrians. Probably because it was too early, there weren't many pedestrians.
It could be seen that Huang Yixing fell off the city gate tower.
The artist's skills were excellent. The bloodstains on the person's face were very clearly outlined. It could be said that the slightest detail could be seen.
It was no different from observing the scene at the scene.
It was a pity that the painting was of Huang Yixing's appearance after he fell off the city. It didn't depict the process of him falling off the city.
Of course, the artist arrived at the scene later. He definitely didn't see the process of him falling off the city. What the artist could do was to reconstruct the scene as much as possible on the scroll painting so that people could see it with their own eyes.
The thing that left the deepest impression on Jiang Wang was that …
In this painting, Huang Yixing's expression was very strange. Although half of it was blurred by the bloodstains, it could still be seen that he didn't suffer much when he died.
He opened his eyes and looked straight up. It was as if he was looking through the scroll … at the person who was looking at the painting!
Jiang Wang rolled up the scroll painting and blocked that gaze.
He carefully put away the scroll painting and then asked, "Sirs, is there anything else you want to say?"
"Handle the case well. Don't ruin the reputation of Beiya." Zheng Shi said as he stood up and walked out. "Let Doctor Xie have a few words with you."
Yang Weitong also left. "I'll call Lin Youxie over."
In an instant, only Jiang Wang and Xie Huaian were left in the hall.
Jiang Wang's eyelids twitched for no reason.
