Chapter 680: Houfu Ancestral Hall

Qin Yandong, who was standing by, suddenly had a flash of joy in his eyes. He lowered his voice and asked, "You didn't go check?"

Li Xun nodded. "I went to check it out afterwards. I thought the master had hidden treasures in there, but I turned the ancestral hall upside down and found nothing. I even checked the tablets and tiles, and there was nothing unusual."

"Then why did you hide it just now?" Jiang Youzhen shouted angrily.

"I am not sure either, so I dare not speak out, for fear that you will not be able to find any evidence and will be angry with me."

In fact, he also had selfish motives. He felt that the master must have hidden something, otherwise he would not have visited him once every ten days.

"Humph! You are just greedy. You want to wait until this storm is over before you go treasure hunting and flee far away. Unfortunately, your calculations were wrong. You just missed a good opportunity."

How could Jiang Youzhen not know his little tricks? It can only be said that people die for money and birds die for food.

Even when death is imminent, he is still thinking about the treasure!

Li Xun begged for mercy quickly. He knelt down in front of Jiang Youzhen and said, "Please show some mercy, sir. I was just confused for a moment. Please show some mercy!"

Jiang Youzhen ignored him and said, "Bring Cuiying here for interrogation. If this Li Xun tells any lies, kill him without mercy!"

Qin Yandong was speechless. How could he be ordered around like a servant? Who was the higher official?

He walked out and gave orders outside.

The servant suddenly thought of something, "Sir, I remembered that the master usually kept a bunch of keys with his treasure. He often kept it close to his body and put it under the bed when he slept."

Jiang Youzhen was thoughtful, "When we sealed off the mansion and arrested Li Yanzheng, he was asleep. It must have been too late. Maybe he was still in bed."

Qin Yandong immediately understood and went out to give instructions.

"Is there anything else unusual?" Jiang Youzhen continued to ask.

The servant shook his head and said, "The master doesn't often let me sleep with him, so I don't know how many there are."

Jiang Youzhen turned to look at the others, "Now here is the second question. What habits does Aunt Lin have, or where does she often go?"

"I know this very well. Let me tell you!" Fenfang was eager to show off. She was Lin's personal maid, so she knew more about it.

"Mrs. Lin often goes to a small jewelry shop in South City, called Zhang's Silver Shop. She goes there every few days. After she goes there, she asks me to guard outside."

"What is she going to do? Are you a born child in the mansion or bought? Will she take you with her wherever she goes?" Jiang Youzhen asked suspiciously.

"I am the dowry of Aunt Lin. She was originally a skinny girl from the capital county. She bought me because she was going to marry the master. The contract of sale is in Aunt Lin's hands. Therefore, she takes me with her when she does things, but she doesn't let me know some very secret things."

Jiang Youzhen was listening, and when he saw Qin Yandong was about to go out again, he knew what he was going to do.

"Don't worry. I'm afraid everyone has already run away. It's too late to go now."

Qin Yandong snorted coldly, then turned around and walked back.

When Fenfang heard that she seemed to have not done anything meritorious, she immediately became anxious.

"But I was very curious at the time. Aunt Lin said that the shop was her dowry. But she was just a skinny girl at the time. Apart from the few coins she had to buy me, how could she have any dowry?

So I secretly followed her one time and found that every time she went in, she went into the inner room with the shopkeeper, and the time she stayed there varied. But the man seemed very alert, and I didn't dare to get too close, so I didn't know what they were doing inside. "

When the housekeeper saw what these people had said, she naturally didn't want to be left behind.

"Sir, you don't know that Lin is a seductress. Her eyes show that she is restless. The owner of the silver shop might be her lover, but the master still indulges her."

"Do you mean that Li Yanzheng also knows about it?" Jiang Youzhen grasped the key point in her words.

The old woman nodded, "Isn't it? She behaves erratically, and no one in the mansion takes her seriously except the old lady and her family. One time, the purchasing staff of the mansion found that she sneaked out of the mansion, so they reported it to the prince, but the prince turned a blind eye and asked the mansion not to say anything."

Jiang Youzhen then immediately looked at Qin Yandong and said, "Write this down and interrogate Li Yanzheng later."

"You should remember what the shopkeeper looks like, right?" Jiang Youzhen looked at Fenfang and asked.

"Remember! I never make mistakes when remembering people's faces." Fenfang nodded repeatedly.

"You describe it and I will draw it." Jiang Youzhen sat at the round table, ready to paint.

"This person has a long face, thick sword-like eyebrows, but some slanted eyes..."

Jiang Youzhen started to draw simple sketches according to Fenfang's instructions, and after finishing, he asked Fenfang to point out the parts that needed to be modified.

After two or three changes, a new portrait appeared.

"Yes! Yes, that's what it looks like! It's so lifelike!" Fenfang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, it was exactly like the real person.

"First, search Zhang's silver shop for him, then investigate the neighbors. Copy as many copies of this portrait as possible and distribute them to the guards guarding the city."

The whole city was under martial law at that time, and the man might still be in the city. But I am afraid that he had already sensed something was wrong when Huang Mintao was arrested, and fled at the first sign of trouble.

Qin Yandong has completely become an assistant, but after his initial disdain, he has a little more admiration for Jiang Youzhen.

Jiang Youzhen's investigation of cases is different from their Dali Temple's. Their Dali Temple starts with a flogging and then interrogates the suspects.

Jiang Youzhen took a different approach, and overall the efficiency of handling cases this way was quite good.

"First, lock them up in solitary confinement and assign someone to guard them. We must be careful not to let those desperate people kill us to silence us."

The five of them were so frightened that their legs trembled and their lips quivered.

"Sir, you said you would save our lives if we confess." The driver pleaded.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I didn't say I would chop off your heads." Jiang Youzhen waved his hand, and Qin Yandong clapped his hands twice. A guard in black clothes quickly came into the room.

"Take them down."

"Yes!" he replied and walked out quickly.

Jiang Youzhen was a little envious. It was better to have someone to order you around!

"Let's go! Let's go to the ancestral hall and take a look." Jiang Youzhen took the lead.

The small ancestral hall of the Jin'an Marquis Mansion was built in the fifth courtyard, and only the tablets of the direct descendants in the capital were enshrined there, while the others were all in their ancestral hometowns.

It was a long way from the second entrance to the fifth entrance, so Jiang Youzhen planned to observe as he walked to see if there was anything he had missed.

But unfortunately, as Qin Yandong said, even the grass has been turned over.

There is a very large banyan tree planted in front of the ancestral hall. Its crown covers most of the yard, making it quite cool.

Jiang Youzhen took a look and found that this was actually a separate small courtyard built outside the fifth entrance.
