Chapter 805 Lord Jiang is different from those officials in the court
Jiang Youzhen sighed, "Master Liao Zhengping..."
"What's wrong with him?" Tao Chendong was very nervous. In fact, he already had a bad premonition in his heart.
"He was murdered by a villain. This was the last letter written by the lady before she died. Unfortunately, she was found by the guards before she could finish writing it. She died at the hands of the villains."
As Jiang Youzhen spoke, he took out a blood-stained letter from his arms and handed it to Tao Chendong.
Tao Chendong suddenly trembled all over. He took the letter and suddenly didn't dare to open it.
"Madam's last wish was to redress Lord Liao's injustice. Lord Liao died in an unclear manner, and now Miss Liao is still in the hands of those gentlemen. I have already ordered people to rescue her, and I hope it's not too late."
"Brother Yuan Xi." Tao Chendong's eyes were filled with tears, "It's all my fault that you were harmed!"
He opened the letter and when he saw the words "bleeding from all seven orifices, died of poisoning", he felt dizzy.
"Lord Tao, please accept my condolences!" Jiang Youzhen hurried forward to support him. This was indeed a blow.
"If he had been a magistrate at first, he would not have lost his life. I knew he had a strong temper, so I should not have let him go to the Salt Transport Commissioner's Office. So what if he can't achieve his ambitions? None of these are as important as his life." Tao Chendong sighed, but it was too late to regret!
Even if he could hold on for another year or two, he would have the opportunity to transfer Liao Zhengping from the Salt Transport Commissioner's Office to another place, but he didn't expect that it was too late.
Tao Chendong wiped his tears. It was all his fault! He shouldn't have been soft-hearted in the first place. Seeing Liao Zhengping was depressed, he put him in danger.
"Master Tao, the dead cannot be resurrected. The most important thing now is that there must be spies from the Salt Gang or the rebel party in the Salt Transport Commissioner's Office. Master Liao's untimely death was not necessarily caused by the Salt Gang. We still need to find out the truth and redress Master Liao's injustice!"
Tao Chendong paused when he heard this, and a raging fire flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, Lord Jiang is right. I used to be the deputy director of the Capital Salt Transport Commissioner's Office, so I am somewhat familiar with this. This time, I would like to go to Jiangling in person."
"Okay! Lord Tao, please go ahead. I will finish the work here and leave for Jiangling immediately."
Jiang Youzhen had exactly this intention, and he asked Tao Chendong to come so that he could go to Jiangling. After all, he was more familiar with the affairs of the Salt Transport Commissioner's Office.
Liao Zhengping's death was kept secret for such a long time, it is impossible that no one in the entire Salt Transport Commissioner's Office knew about it. There must be something fishy going on.
And no one has asked about it so far, which means there must be a spy in the Salt Commissioner's Office. Li Dongsheng went there, but because of his identity, he could only investigate secretly. Therefore, a person with status was needed to go there, which was why she asked the emperor for Tao Chendong.
"Tomorrow I will send someone to escort you to Jiangling. I will also send people there to rescue you. When the time comes, one of you will be in the open while the other will be in the dark, so you can take care of each other."
Tao Chendong looked at Jiang Youzhen deeply. It seemed that he had already arranged everything.
Even though he had such a relationship with Liao Zhenping, Jiang Youzhen still didn't trust him and sent someone to protect him but actually to monitor him.
"No need for tomorrow, I will set off right now."
Even if it wasn't for promotion or wealth, he still wanted to seek justice for his friend.
"Master Tao, please wait a moment!" Jiang Youzhen asked people to prepare paper and pen, and then he drew a portrait of a person with just a few strokes.
"Master Tao, please take this portrait to the people in Liao's residence to see if it is Master Liao's concubine Zhao?"
Tao Chendong picked it up and saw that the woman was pretty and in her twenties.
"This is the woman who was placed with Lord Xu's body in the Yizhuang. When I visited the Yizhuang at night, I found two Lin'an Prefecture salt warehouse inventory books and loss records on this woman.
The government said that the woman was Lord Xu's concubine, but I don't think so. Later, my subordinates went to Jiangling and heard from Madam Liao that the concubine Zhao seemed to have taken some things with her, using the excuse of returning to her parents' home.
Tao Chendong pondered for a long time after hearing this, "So, Brother Yuan Xi may have anticipated that those people were going to take action, so he sent Zhao to go home to visit relatives under the pretext of taking away the evidence?"
"That's right! I heard that Zhao is from Lin'an Prefecture."
Tao Chendong nodded, "Okay! Then I'll go get ready."
Jiang Youzhen nodded, then his eyes turned cold. It was time for reckoning.
"Sir, something bad has happened! The ghost ran away." Jiang Chuan ran over breathlessly.
Jiang Youzhen frowned, "Why didn't you keep an eye on it?"
"I deserve to die. The ghost was clearly tied up tightly and someone was watching it, but for some reason it suddenly disappeared."
Jiang Chuan was puzzled, then took out a rope and handed it to Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen took a look and found that the rope was not broken at all and the knot was intact. So how did he break free?
It seems that being able to become the number one master in Ghost City requires some ability. There is no personal grudge between them. As long as this person doesn't cause trouble for him, then forget it.
"Forget it, this guy is quite capable, so leave him alone. Go check on the property and solve the problem as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Jiang Chuan was relieved when he saw that Jiang Youzhen did not blame him.
Your Excellency is now very majestic, how dare they act rashly?
A figure in the mountains was running for his life, and his body was exhausted.
"Jiang Youzhen, you are awesome! You forced me to use the bone shrinking skill, and my skills regressed by five years. And my fifty thousand taels are gone!"
Crying! He believed the lies of Chen Xiaotian.
Jiang Youzhen hurriedly ate some food, and then General Wang came over.
"Master Jiang, we plan to return early tomorrow morning and rest here for one night."
"Okay! This time I will report to the Emperor and ask for credit for the soldiers."
"Thank you, Lord Jiang. This general doesn't mind, but I can't bear to see our soldiers wading through the icy river in the middle of the night and risking their lives. If possible, please ask for merit for them. If nothing else, you can also give them more resettlement allowances from the military pay."
"General, you put your own merit aside for the sake of the soldiers. I admire you!"
Jiang Youzhen was deeply moved to see General Wang caring so much about his soldiers. However, she couldn't use her own money to subsidize them, otherwise it would easily arouse suspicion from the emperor and the court.
"General Wang, please rest assured. Even if the emperor and the court have concerns, I will do my best to earn a share of the hard-earned money for the soldiers."
Upon hearing this, General Wang clasped his fists towards Jiang Youzhen and said, "Lord Jiang is different from those officials in the court. I believe in you. Thank you!"
"I should be the one thanking you more!" Jiang Youzhen felt a little ashamed.
"Jiang Ru, go to the market later to prepare food and fodder for the soldiers before they set off. I will pay for everything."
Jiang Ru nodded heavily, her pretty face full of admiration for Jiang Youzhen. As she followed the master to see the world, she felt more and more that the master was a gentleman who valued friendship and loyalty.
"Thank you, Lord Jiang!" General Wang said and thought of something else.
"Master Jiang is a master of martial arts. I wonder which master did he worship?"
