Chapter 677: Secret Investigation of the Case

"I have several guards at home, but they are not good fighters and are seriously injured. They can't resist the attacks of the assassins at all. Fortunately, the emperor sent guards to arrive in time, otherwise the assassins would have succeeded with those guards!"

You have no sincerity at all. By the time you send the guards over, it will be too late.

"Those people are really bold and daring. We must catch them this time, otherwise they will definitely take revenge on you."

Jiang Youzhen: Is this just my business? Can you tell the difference between the primary and the secondary? Isn't it because I was doing things for you that I was assassinated?

"I agree with you! If those people dare to attack me today, they will dare to attack other court officials, or even the princes, in the future. It is impossible to guard against them."

"Therefore, I plan to hand this case over to you. What do you think?" The emperor looked at Jiang Youzhen. He looked kind, but there was a gleam in his eyes.

"This? Your Majesty, this case involves a wide range of people. I am a lowly official and my words carry little weight. Moreover, it involves the Jin Province. It's difficult!" Jiang Youzhen shook his head and sighed.

The emperor was immediately displeased, "Didn't I give you a gold medal? How dare someone disobey my orders?"

Jiang Youzhen shook his head quickly. "Once the token is issued, who dares to disobey? But I am afraid that I will not be able to do it perfectly and fail the emperor's trust."

You old man, I just want some benefits, right? You don't want to give me any benefits, but you want me to take such a big risk!

The emperor's expression eased a little. "If you need help, I will appoint someone with great martial arts skills to protect you. Do you have anyone in mind?"

Jiang Youzhen suddenly had an idea and wanted Fang Zhongyi. But if she took the initiative to bring it up, the emperor would think she was forming a clique for personal gain.

"I have just entered the court, and I don't know the military officers well. Please let the emperor appoint me!"

The emperor pondered for a moment, then said, "Then let's pick Qin Yandong! He is the Right Secretary of the Dali Temple and has extensive experience in handling cases. He is also the third son of the eldest son of Duke Qin's mansion. Let him take the lead in everything. With such a status, even those who are short-sighted will not dare to disrespect him. Just order him around."

How dare I order him around? He is called an assistant, but in reality he is a supervisor. I still don't trust her.

Jiang Youzhen suddenly remembered that night in the provincial capital when the other party ran to the inn to search for the assassin, and the person they were looking for was Li Dongsheng.

"Lord Qin is the elite of the Dali Temple. I am far from being able to match him! With him here, I have more confidence. I don't have anyone useful around me, so I'll have to trouble Lord Qin for the Jin Province."

Jiang Youzhen felt helpless. Qin Yandong had always been suspicious of her and she hoped that she would not hold her back this time.

"In addition to Qin Yandong, I will naturally assign you other helpers. The entire Dali Temple guards are at your disposal. Even the Beijing Guard Command can be used by you. This is the right I give you."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

If she really has no sense and orders those officials around, she will have to suffer after the gold medal is returned.

"However, I have one request, and that is that you handle this case in secret." The emperor suddenly said.

Jiang Youzhen was surprised, and then he heard the emperor continue: "I plan to send the censor of the Censorate to investigate the case openly, but he will be in the open and you will be in the dark."

The emperor closed the memorial and said, “There are too few trustworthy people in the court nowadays, and he is not at ease with anyone he entrusts the task to.”

"I'll give you a month. Is that enough?"

Jiang Youzhen frowned. If it was just the capital, a month would be enough, but it was too troublesome to go to Jin Province. Jin Province was too far away from Jin City, and a month was only enough for a round trip. There was no time to investigate the case. In other words, she had to get to the bottom of the case in the capital.

"I can only do my best!"

"I don't want you to do your best. If you have made great contributions this time, it is not impossible to be promoted to a higher rank. I have never been stingy with talented people."

Jiang Youzhen was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

"It is my duty to serve the court and the emperor. I will sacrifice my life to help the emperor."

Nice words don’t cost money, Jiang Youzhen doesn’t mind saying more.

"Hmph! But whether you can get promoted depends on your ability." The emperor snorted coldly.

"Zhou Zhong, go and tell Qin Yandong to come see me!"

Qin Yandong came very quickly. When he came in, he was surprised to see Jiang Youzhen standing next to him.

"Your Highness, I, Qin Yandong, the Right Assistant Secretary of the Dali Temple, come to see the Emperor!"

"Qin Aiqing, please stand up!"

"I asked you to come here because of this case of treason."

......

Jin'an Marquis Mansion

Luo Shuhuan's carriage stopped outside the mansion, and Qiyue, who was beside her, hurried over.

After she climbed onto the carriage, she said, "Miss, the outside of the Marquis's mansion is like an iron barrel, and it is impossible to get in. I wanted to use some silver, but those people scolded me as soon as they saw me."

Luo Shuhuan frowned, "Who told you to get closer? I just wanted you to take a look. Do you want those people to arrest you as a traitor by getting closer? Idiot!"

She helped Li Dongsheng because she wanted to gain his favor, but she couldn't put herself in danger.

July felt a little aggrieved. The young lady had become increasingly strict in the past two years. She would scold her, her personal maid, at every turn and never gave her any face.

"Miss, I didn't dare to get close. I just wanted to find an inconspicuous person to ask around. Didn't you say that you would find a way to get in?"

Luo Shuhuan rolled her eyes, and only when she thought that this girl would have to do things for her in the future did she suppress her anger.

"Okay, I know you are doing this for me, but this matter is very serious. If our purpose is discovered, we will definitely be implicated. Be smart, otherwise, if you are so reckless again when I take you to the palace, I am afraid that I will not be able to save you."

When July heard that the young lady was going to take him to the palace, he immediately perked up and the resentment in his heart dissipated a lot.

Luo Shuhuan opened the curtain and suddenly saw two cloaked figures in front of him.

Who is this person? Why is he wearing a cloak in this early summer weather? This is obviously wrong!

One of them showed something to the guards, and the guards immediately let him go.

"Miss, who would wear a cloak in such hot weather? It's so mysterious." July curled her lips and thought these two people were really strange.

Luo Shuhuan also felt strange, so he ordered his follower Ah Sheng to follow this person. Wait for them to come out and see where they go.

July was a little confused, but didn't dare to ask more.

A cloaked person who had just entered the mansion seemed to have sensed something. She looked back and saw a carriage slowly leaving under a big tree not far away.

"Call the guards in the mansion to conduct a thorough search." The cloaked man ordered in a cold voice.

"But we've searched it before and didn't find anything." said another man in a cloak beside him.

"This little bit of evidence doesn't tell us who he's colluding with. If we want to know who his accomplices are, we have to find other evidence."

After entering the house, a bare hand pulled down the cloak on the head, revealing a handsome face, it was Jiang Youzhen.
