Chapter 1300: Don't Ask About These Secrets
There are quite a lot of people.
"Waaah!" They cried until their voices were hoarse.
However, unlike the people at the entrance of Wuyuan, they did not clamor for a thorough investigation into Lu Fenxu's death.
The coroners from the Provincial Administration Commission and the Capital Prefecture both examined the wounds and confirmed that it was caused by self-inflicted stab wounds, not homicide.
Lord Yan and Magistrate Zheng both acknowledged this statement, and with the fierce Qi Tianshi (a powerful and ruthless figure) pressing down on them, how could these little students dare to disagree?
If they don't admit it, they have to produce solid evidence; otherwise, it's just spreading rumors, and Eunuch Qi dares to execute them!
"This humble general, the Vice Commander of the Capital Garrison, pays his respects to the Prince of Ye." Vice Commander Jiang was led to a side room where he met Clerk Guan, Elder Qiong, Lord Yan, and the Imperial Envoy Qi.
All four leaders were present, yet they couldn't come up with a single plan to quell the chaos outside; they just sat there doing nothing.
Jiang Qianshi was in despair; the Great Wei was doomed.
"Jiang Qianshi, you've worked hard guarding the city. No need for formalities, please sit down and have some hot tea and hot food." Clerk Guan forced a smile.
Jiang Qianshi didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down and recounted the farce at the West Gate and the fact that two hundred people had come to Wu Garden to see the truth: "This humble general was acting on the orders of the Prince of Ye. But this humble general doesn't understand why the Prince of Ye sent so many people to the gate of Wu Garden? Are they just kneeling and waiting?"
"Could this be a scheme by the King of Ye to prevent the people of Wei from leaving the city?"
"Uh," said the clerk, "Jiang Qianshi has misunderstood. Although I do not approve of Wei Min leaving the city, I will not prevent him from leaving in this way."
Upon hearing this, Vice Commissioner Jiang was overjoyed and asked, "Could it be that the Prince of Ye truly has the truth to show everyone?!"
Stop keeping us in suspense and just reveal the truth!
The clerk said with a wry smile, "The truth is that Lu Fenxu did indeed commit suicide, but the people at the gate of Wuyuan will not accept this truth."
Of course, no one would accept the truth.
Jiang Qianshi thought the Prince of Ye was incredibly stupid, so he had to act as the leader and instruct him: "Your Highness, there have been incidents of Wei people risking their lives to petition at both the East and West Gates. There must be someone behind this. You must catch the mastermind, drag him out, and execute him before all this farce can be put to rest!"
The clerk smiled bitterly: "I know, but it's only been two days since the incident, too short a time. We haven't found out who the mastermind is yet."
The problem was actually discovered, but evidence was lacking.
So they are currently collecting and fabricating evidence...
Jiang Qianshi: "..."
Another bitter smile?
What else can you do besides a wry smile?
Are you reincarnated from the bitter melon?!
After calming himself down, Vice Commissioner Jiang said, "Isn't there the Imperial Guard? I've heard of the Imperial Guard's reputation. They are quite versatile. They can protect His Majesty and also kill spies and save meritorious officials."
They managed to break into the plague-free isolation zone in the west of the city, rescue Liang Zhi, and even kill a group of spies, yet they couldn't find the mastermind behind the farce?!
After speaking, Jiang Qianshi looked at Qi Tianshi, clasped his hands in a salute, and said, "Greetings, Qi Tianshi."
Qi Tianshi laughed. He knew that Jiang Qianshi was deliberately targeting him, and he could even read a message on Jiang Qianshi's face: You damned eunuch, weren't you supposed to be all-powerful, full of ideas, and incredibly capable? But when it really matters, you're helpless? You good-for-nothing!
"You damned eunuch, what are you laughing at?" Jiang Qianshi cursed Qi Tianshi in his heart.
"Does Jiang Qian know what last words His Majesty Emperor Taizong and Empress Wenci left for Madam Guan and the others?" Qi Tianshi gave the answer directly: "It was the same sentence: Do your best, leave the rest to fate, and wait for God's blessing."
what?
Jiang Qianshi couldn't hold back any longer and almost slammed his fist on the chair armrest, but he hesitated because it was one of Emperor Taizong and his wife's last words.
but……
"At a time like this, if we wait for a miracle, the farce will only escalate and the royal family's reputation will suffer even greater damage."
Are you crazy?! Are you waiting for the truth to come out on its own?!
Yes, that's right. Prince Ye, Qi Tianshi, and Qiong Lao are waiting for the truth to surface on its own... Hmm? To be precise, they are waiting for Lu Fenxu to see the situation clearly and hand over the evidence on his own initiative.
What do you mean?
Didn't Lu Fenxu commit suicide? The coroner already performed an autopsy; how could he possibly rise from the dead?
Don't ask about this secret; I can't tell you right now!
"Thank you for your kind words, Vice Commissioner Jiang. I am deeply grateful. Please return to the city gate and continue to guard the city for Great Wei. I assure you, Great Wei will not let you down." The clerk Guan rose and bowed to Vice Commissioner Jiang. Vice Commissioner Jiang hurriedly rose and returned the courtesy of the Great Wei army.
After it was over, I was stunned.
Why?
Because he came for nothing, he didn't get any information about the truth or any strategies to quell the farce, and was immediately seen off by the King of Ye.
Good heavens! Look at this bunch of arrogant good-for-nothings! Great Wei is probably really doomed!
"By the way, I would like to trouble Vice Minister Jiang to send Yang Zeru and the other aggrieved students to the Juma Formation camp beforehand and hand them over to General Chu so that he can cooperate with General Chu in thoroughly investigating the case of the students killing other students," the clerk Guan requested.
"Yes, sir." This was a royal order, and Jiang Qianshi dared not disobey. He was also in a fit of anger, so after leaving the room, he couldn't hold back any longer and roared, "Wei army, bring all the students involved in the case here and bring them with you to the chevaux-de-frise camp to cooperate with General Chu in the investigation!"
what?
In the small courtyard of the guest house, everyone was startled, and the people in front of them stopped crying.
Zheng Qianming, the coward, reacted quickly and said, "Lu Fenxu just died. We should stay and keep vigil for him. How can we go to the barricade camp to investigate some case at this time!"
He was really scared, and his words became incoherent and his sentences didn't flow smoothly.
But Jiang Qianshi was more desperate and furious than him. He rushed towards him like a tiger pouncing, grabbed Zheng Qianming by the back of the neck, and dragged him toward the courtyard gate: "This is General Chu's military order, or the King of Ye's royal order. You can only cooperate and carry it out. You have no right to bargain!"
"The enemy has already reached our doorstep, who's going to tolerate you? Just do as I say, and I'll send you back after the interrogation. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"I have military merits, I can give up some of them to teach you a lesson or two!"
"You brute! You brute! You're being unreasonable!"
No need to guess, it's what Lu Qian said.
Jiang Qianshi laughed, threw Zheng Qianming to the ground with a bang, turned around and rushed towards Lu Qian, who was caught and became the second Zheng Qianming.
Jiang Qianshi: "Boy, how dare you insult a proper military officer of the imperial court? You've broken the law, so go to the chevaux-de-frise camp for torture!"
Lu Qian: "..."
They were terrified, looking at Jiang Qianshi as if he were a demon.
"Help! Lord Yan, help! Magistrate Kang, help! The military officer is abusing his power!" Lu Qian cried out to Lord Yan and the others for help.
Lord Yan's voice came from the side room: "Lu Qian, who is not an official, has openly disrespected a military officer of the court with military merits. According to the law, he shall be taken to the military headquarters to be punished!"
What?
Lu Qian was so frightened that his face turned pale, his vision went black, and he was about to faint again.
I didn't faint.
Jiang Qianshi squeezed the back of his neck with force, which woke him up from the pain.
"The rest of you, hurry up and follow!" Jiang Qianshi roared, his voice like a tiger howling in the mountains.
"Yes."
"Yes."
The voices of Wei Jun and the students could be heard. Wei Jun was half-leading the students, following Jiang Qianshi.
Zheng Qianjia was very flustered, fearing that Zheng Qianming and Lu Qian would not be able to withstand the military torture and would reveal the truth.
So he spoke up: "Jiang Qianshi, I will accompany my classmates."
"Then stop talking nonsense and just keep up." Jiang Qianshi was very irritable. Why? Because these useless students made him see even less of a future for Great Wei.
