Jiang Wang did not plan to carry the so-called 'protective talisman' of unknown origin with him.
That mysterious physiognomist was an existence that he could not see through or understand. He did not know if that person had good intentions or bad intentions. He also did not have the confidence to play against such an unknown expert.
All in all, it was better to be safe than sorry.
If he could not offend him, he could always hide.
He met up with Lin Youxie outside the town gates and flew towards Zhaoheng City.
Since Huang Yixing had died, the person in charge of Hengyang Prefecture was the Red Tail Prefecture Governor Gao Shaoling.
In the Hengyang Prefecture Manor, many of the officials were promoted by Huang Yixing himself. A large portion of them were old Yang officials. Qi Ting did not interfere in this, giving him the power that a Governor should have. From this, one could see that Qi Ting had enough confidence in the situation of the Yang Land.
The previous Prime Minister Yan Ping's plan was destroyed in a peaceful manner, and the murderous Chongxuan and Chu Liang broke it in one battle. The Yang Land was indeed in the bag. Ever since it became part of the territory, it had not caused any trouble.
Only this time, Qi Ting did not let the officials of Hengyang Prefecture take over the position of Governor. Instead, he moved the Red Tail Prefecture Governor Gao Shaoling to take over. The meaning behind this was worth thinking about.
The reason why he chose Gao Shaoling and not Tian Antai was because Marquis Gao Chang was tortured in front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
The matters of the world were interconnected. When a stone falls into the water, it causes thousands of ripples.
This was the first time Jiang Wang saw Gao Shaoling.
He was wearing a full set of official robes, his hair was hidden in his official hat. Even his belt was stuck in the right position. His entire aura was very serious.
It was completely different from the aura of the Gao family's young master.
Frankly speaking, Gao Zhe's personality was a little frivolous. Of course, this kind of frivolity paled in comparison to his brother who lost his right to inherit.
At this moment, in the Governor Manor of Zhaoheng City, Gao Shaoling was sitting in the main seat. He looked very serious, "… the general situation is like this. I have already ordered that if the two constables have any requests, the entire Hengyang Prefecture will cooperate."
Although Jiang Wang and Lin Youxie were here on the orders of the Emperor to investigate the case, they still had to pay a visit to the County Manor. Investigating a case in Hengyang County required the cooperation of the county government in many areas.
Moreover, Gao Shaoling was temporarily in charge of this county. There was no conflict with them. On the contrary, they had common interests. If things were handled properly, Hengyang County was the capital of the Old Sun Kingdom. The Hengyang County Governor was much more important than the Red Tail County Governor.
This trip was led by Jiang Wang, so it was Jiang Wang who came forward to communicate. "We'll go to the scene first. If there's anything we need, we'll disturb the Commandery Manor."
"Sure, sure." Gao Shaoling only smiled when it was time to send the guest off: "You and Gao Zhe are friends, please don't treat me like an outsider."
Jiang Wang exchanged some more pleasantries before leaving with Lin Youxie.
He and Gao Zhe had indeed been friends for a while, but their personalities were not particularly compatible, so their relationship had faded long ago. Of course, they had never been on bad terms. If one had to describe it, they could be considered as fair-weather friends.
Speaking of which, it was a pity.
The governor's mansion in Zhaoheng City was originally the mansion of the Yang Country's general, which was the former mansion of the Ji clan.
Although it had been changed to the governor's mansion, the murderous aura could still be felt.
As for the former Yang King Palace, it was preserved in its original state as the Son of Heaven's palace.
After a huge battle, plundering was a common occurrence. After a life and death battle, the soldiers needed to vent their emotions. Such a chaotic situation was not something that could be controlled by humans.
After a country breaking war, the Yang King Palace was still perfectly fine. Xiong Tu's ability to lead an army was evident from this.
"You haven't been in Linzi for long, but you're close to Yan Fu and Li Longchuan. However, your relationship with Gao Zhe doesn't seem to be that deep. Why? "
After walking out of the governor's mansion, Lin Youxie suddenly asked, "Although the Gao Family isn't as powerful as the Yan family and the Li family, since he is the Young Master, the resources he can use might not be weaker than those two."
Jiang Wang frowned. "Why are you asking this?"
Before Gao Zhe became the Young Master of the Gao Family, he couldn't deal with jealousy.
After becoming the Young Master of the Gao Family, he couldn't suppress his arrogance.
He wasn't a good friend.
This was Jiang Wang's judgment of Gao Zhe, but he didn't want to say it behind his back.
"Confirm your real relationship with the Gao Family. Then we can decide how much Town Supervisor Gao should be involved in the following process of the case, "Lin Youxie said casually.
Jiang Wang said seriously, "We're doing our case. It has nothing to do with Town Supervisor Gao, and we don't need him to be involved."
"Okay," Lin Youxie said indifferently, "You're in charge of the case. I'll listen to you."
"Of course, I'm in charge of the general direction." Jiang Wang nodded his head in a dignified manner, then asked naturally, "Where should we start investigating?"
Lin Youxie was speechless.
"Let's do the autopsy first," she said finally.
…
…
It was still late at night.
In the autopsy room located in the north of the city, it was still cold and gloomy even though there were candles burning.
Jiang Wang released a huge flame flower to reduce the temperature and hung it on the dome. Only then did the room become brighter.
There was only one mortuary table in the large room, and there was only Huang Yixing lying straight on the table.
Lin Youxie was wearing a pair of translucent gloves made of an unknown material. He was carefully examining the body.
Jiang Wang was at the door, asking the local constables and coroner in a low voice.
He couldn't get anything out of the local coroner. The Patrol Office in the capital had already ordered that no one in Hengyang County was allowed to examine the body. All information was to be sealed until the people from Linzi came.
The local coroner had only made a rough observation and confirmed that Huang Yixing was really dead.
For the local constables, the case was already solved, and they had nothing to investigate. They only did some preliminary work, such as recording testimonies and drawing a portrait of Huang Yixing's death …
Jiang Wang asked them specifically because he wanted to know the attitude of the local people.
Because his mission wasn't to find out the truth.
"By the way," Jiang Wang asked, "Who was the artist who drew Huang Yixing's portrait?"
The constable said, "Our head constable drew it himself."
"Oh, where is he?" Jiang Wang asked.
"He's resting at home." The constable asked, "Should I call him?"
"Not for now." Jiang Wang thought and asked, "Have you been very busy recently?"
The constable said bitterly, "After such a thing happened, the people in the city are in a panic. There are always some people who want to fish in troubled waters. The higher-ups don't have the heart to care … "
He stopped here.
Jiang Wang naturally understood what he meant.
The people were in a panic because of the murder case. Qi Ting directly asked Gao Shaoling from the neighboring county to take care of it. The officials in Zhaoheng City were also in a panic.
Since the city was in a mess, it was naturally hard for the people in charge of maintaining order.
The coroner's eyes were drifting, and he looked at the mortuary table from time to time. He looked very uncomfortable.
To be able to make a coroner who was used to seeing corpses uncomfortable, one could imagine Lin Youxie's ability …
The fourth-ranked Blue Medal Constable, Lord Jiang, didn't look back and asked like a senior, "You haven't been a coroner for long, right?"
"Ah? Ah, yes. "The coroner came back to his senses and answered in a panic.
"It's okay." Lord Jiang smiled considerately, "Let's go, let's talk outside."
The coroner and the constable immediately turned around and ran out. Jiang Wang also followed without a change in his expression.
"Lord Jiang!"
Lin Youxie's voice sounded behind them. "Help me."
