Chapter 215 Memorial
A black-grey object fell out, along with a booklet, but the surface of the booklet was hard and tightly wrapped in a layer of brocade.
Zhao Wei picked up the black and gray thing on the ground, took a closer look, and was suddenly surprised.
"It's iron ore, and the quality seems to be very good." He weighed it in his hand. It was only half the size of a palm, but very heavy.
He was an ironsmith, so of course he knew about iron ore. This piece was of very good quality, he had never seen such a good piece before, so he took it in his hand and examined it carefully.
Jiang Youzhen was lost in thought as she stared at the booklet in Zhao Wei's hand. Why did she feel that the shape and cover looked like something from the imperial court - a memorial?
Reaching out to take the booklet from Zhao Wei's hand, she saw in the dim light of the lantern that the cover was actually bright yellow, and it read: On February 21, the 24th year of Chengming in the Dayun Dynasty, the Left Censor-in-Chief Hu Daoqing submitted a memorial!
Left Censor-in-Chief? Isn't this the Censor? Jiang Youzhen looked at the lifeless man on the ground with some shock. Left Censor-in-Chief should be an official of the fourth rank. He did not stay in the capital, but ran to this small prefecture city, most likely because he was sent by the court to investigate a case.
Jiang Youzhen suddenly felt that the memorial in his hand was very hot. What should he do? Should he put it back? Jiang Youzhen hesitated for a moment.
The fact that someone was chasing him shows how important this memorial is. Plus, this piece of iron ore, could it be related to iron ore?
But why is the censor alone? There should be someone around him to protect him.
Damn it! Jiang Youzhen took a deep breath. Those people would definitely not give up until they got the things.
After a moment's hesitation, she squatted down and began to feel around Hu Daoqing's body. Zhao Wei was very surprised and thought Jiang Youzhen was looking for the jade pendant that this person mentioned.
Jiang Youzhen fumbled for a while, then took out a small purse from the man's arms. She touched it, opened it and took a look, then decisively put it in her arms.
He also took off the jade pendant from Hu Daoqing and put it in his arms.
"Brother Wei, this is a hot potato. It's a matter of life and death. If you trust me, I will handle this matter."
Jiang Youzhen looked straight at Zhao Wei as he spoke. If Zhao Wei became greedy and wanted to take the money, then he would have to think carefully about his second sister's marriage.
In fact, Zhao Wei had felt that this matter was unusual just now. After hearing what Jiang Youzhen said, he realized that he was a sensible person and would certainly not take risks for this unfounded wealth and glory.
"I believe you, but this thing is dangerous in your hands. It's better to just leave it here. It has nothing to do with us."
Jiang Youzhen immediately gave him an appreciative look, but Zhao Wei thought the matter was too simple.
"Whether the things are in our hands or not, we are all involved. We will leave traces along the way, and those people will find us sooner or later. Only when the things are in my hands can I negotiate with them.
Okay! Stop talking now and help me drag the body into the bushes and hide it first."
Jiang Youzhen had already heard the footsteps of Jiang Fugui coming, and quickly lifted Hu Daoqing's foot and said to Zhao Weidao.
"No need! I can do it alone." Zhao Wei said as he picked up Hu Daoqing and walked quickly into the bushes.
"What's wrong? What happened to this man?" Jiang Fugui came over, and at this time Shen's voice was heard from the carriage in front.
"Dead! This matter is very troublesome. Let's not care about it. It's easy to get into trouble. Let's go!" Jiang Youzhen said and walked towards the carriage first.
Jiang Fugui was stunned, "Dead? Then? Shouldn't we report it to the police?"
Jiang Youzhen ignored Jiang Fugui this time. This father had no vision and only thought like an ordinary person.
"Dad! Don't ask any more questions, just get going!"
"Yes! Uncle, let's go! When it's daybreak, someone will find him. We are just ordinary people and cannot defeat those people. Our family members are here, so it's better not to meddle in other people's business." Zhao Wei knew that his father-in-law was kind and he must feel bad.
Once again, I felt that my brother-in-law was really reliable. I didn't know how such a family could give birth to such a wonderful person like my brother-in-law. It can be considered a blessing from his previous life.
Jiang Youzhen was very satisfied with Zhao Wei's considerate and non-pedantic character. He believed that such a person would eventually become successful.
After pacifying Shen and the others, Jiang Youzhen asked Jiang Fugui to drive the carriage faster.
Qin Yandong was taken to a courtyard in the South City Villa. He had a black cloth covering his head, which he took off only when he reached his destination.
Looking around, Qin Yandong sneered, "Is this the government office you mentioned?"
"Master Qin, there is no need to be angry. If you hadn't been unruly, our Highness wouldn't have asked you to have a talk in this way."
Suddenly, a person walked in from the Moon Gate. Qin Yandong took a look and found that it was Zhou Hai, who was beside the Second Prince.
"Sir Zhou! Although I am only a fifth-rank official, I am also the Right Assistant of the Dali Temple. The Dali Temple works for the Emperor, so it does not need to be under the jurisdiction of the prince, right? You have kidnapped me without any real evidence. If I report this to the Emperor, even if I am the Second Prince, I will have to bear the Emperor's wrath."
Qin Yandong snorted coldly. With the support of Duke Qin’s Mansion, he was not afraid of the second prince.
"Oh? Lord Qin is quite angry. I invited you to come and have a talk, but you avoided me, so they resorted to this desperate measure. Why bother with those guards? Duke Qin's Mansion is a noble family with a hundred years of inheritance in the capital. Needless to say, they are magnanimous and will never make things difficult for those servants."
The red dress reflected an enchanting light under the illumination of the red lanterns, casting a hazy halo on the visitor and making her beautiful eyebrows and eyes more charming.
He had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were very cold. The Duke of Qin's Mansion was just a noble family, but they dared not take him, the prince, seriously.
"Your humble servant greets the Second Prince!" No matter how confident Qin Yandong was, he did not dare to challenge the prince in person. He still had to show proper courtesy.
The Second Prince has always been eloquent, and since he has the advantage of status, he naturally has to restrain himself.
"Sir Qin, why don't you just stay in the capital and do your job properly, instead of coming to Tongzhou?" The second prince ordered his men to untie him, and then leisurely sat down in front of the stone table.
"I came here to do my job, but I didn't know Your Highness was here too. Someone came to deliver a message before, and I thought it was someone pretending to be Your Highness. Who would have thought it was really Your Highness? But why is Your Highness here? Is he here to do his job as well?"
Qin Yandong pretended to be surprised and walked to the stone table. The second prince gestured to him to sit down.
"There's no need for us to pretend to be ignorant. Where is Hu Daoqing now?" The second prince was in no mood to play along with Qin Yandong. If Hu Daoqing disappeared any longer, his life would be in danger.
Qin Yandong looked at the Second Prince in surprise, "Didn't Lord Hu come to see the Second Prince?"
The second prince had a cold gaze. He stared at Qin Yandong for a long time, making his back feel cold.
"I had an appointment with him today, but he didn't come. Didn't you kidnap him? Lord Qin, I remember that Duke Qin's mansion is a pure minister, right? But why did you intervene in the Tongzhou iron mine case?"
