Chapter 77: The Second Son of the Jiang Family is Gone
The origami fan falls.
Jiang Rong returned to her original position, picked up the silver spoon, and continued to eat the ice cream happily.
Xie Lingxi, who was beside him, was stiff all over, with an unnatural blush on his ears.
This intimate scene was hidden by the folding fan...
Everyone couldn't see clearly.
Only the maid standing behind them and Jiang Wan, who was closest to them, saw it...
I couldn't help but curse Jiang Rong in my heart for being shameless!
She is truly a vixen! She seduced the prince of the Northern King in public.
No wonder Xie Lingxi was so obsessed with her...
As she cursed, the bitterness in her heart began to bubble up.
Looking at Jiang Rong smiling as she ate an ice drink beside her, she suddenly felt uncomfortable with the heat in her stomach and wanted to have some ice drink to cool off.
Jiang Wan looked at Shen Wenyuan beside her and said in a coquettish voice:
"Brother Shen, it's really hot today. Look at your forehead, you're sweating. Do you want some ice drinks?"
The implication was that he was just waiting for Shen Wenyuan to say that he would send someone to buy it.
Whatever Jiang Rong has, I want too!
But Shen Wenyuan was thinking about how to kill Jiang Wan.
Not in the mood to eat or drink, he just said perfunctorily: "No thanks."
He continued to concentrate on planning how to kill Wan.
Jiang Wan;...
You blockhead! Don't you understand? I'm so mad.
Look at the Prince of the Northern King, he dotes on his wife so much, and then look at you!
Jiang Wan was very angry and turned her head away and stopped looking at Jiang Rong.
She was afraid that if she continued reading, she would get angry to death.
I clearly got what she liked, so why is Jiang Rong still so happy!
She was really pissed off!
When the string and wind music stopped, the music ceased.
As the master of ceremonies, Master Shen walked up to Jiang Wenxing.
Jiang Wenxing was standing on the jade platform in the middle of the banquet hall.
I'm very excited.
Somehow Jiang Wan got involved with Shen Wenyuan, which made his relationship with Master Shen closer, which was a good thing!
Among the many guests attending the ceremony today, I wonder how many were noblemen who were once out of his reach, and now, he has become one of them!
He is finally going to become a noble!
Master Shen looked at everyone and said, "Today——"
The words haven’t been finished yet.
Suddenly, a group of captains in flying fish uniforms broke through the door and rushed in like wolves and tigers...
Everyone was shocked. What was going on?
The leader was Chu Jue.
The two captains beside him were carrying a stretcher with a corpse covered with a white cloth on it.
Because of the hot weather, the corpse already had a faint stench.
"Mingxinsi, what are you doing?" Master Shen was very shocked.
Chu Jue took out a Mingxinsi identity token from his bosom and held it up for everyone to see:
"The Mingxin Division is investigating a case. All outsiders, please get out of the way!"
The crowd was shocked.
Jiang Qingrong stood up from his seat in disbelief: "Sir, have you come to the wrong place? This is the residence of the Earl of Loyalty..."
"The person I want to arrest is Jiang Wenxing, the stepson of the Earl of Zhongyi." Chu Jue looked at Jiang Wenxing coldly:
"Jiang Wenxing, you cheated in the imperial examination and you also killed your cousin to silence him. Take him away!"
The two captains behind him immediately stepped forward and captured Jiang Wenxing.
Jiang Wenxing couldn't believe it...
He paid a high price to hire a top assassin from the Assassination Pavilion, who was said to have never failed...
Killing a mere Jiang Wenmian is like using a sledgehammer to kill a nut.
How did something go wrong?
Besides, what does this have to do with Mingxinsi?
How did they know this?
The Mingxin Division has always only dealt with important cases involving officials, but Chu Jue is best at defending the weak...
He would get to the bottom of any case he came across.
"What?" Master Shen was very shocked. "Do you have any evidence for what you said?"
"If there is no evidence, can I come to arrest people? Jiang Wenmian found two test papers. One of them has Jiang Wenxing's name on it, but I compared the handwriting and it is completely different. On the other hand, the handwriting of the other test paper with someone else's name on it is exactly the same as Jiang Wenxing's."
"The person who exchanged the test papers with him is already dead. But these two test papers are irrefutable evidence..."
He checked and verified all these things clearly and confirmed them to be correct.
At this time, a captain came forward and lifted the white cloth, revealing Jiang Wenmian's body.
"Son!" Jiang Qingrong rushed forward in disbelief as if struck by lightning.
Although he usually beats and scolds his son, he is just angry at him for not living up to his expectations. In fact, he cares about him very much.
He was devastated by the loss of his son.
When Jiang Wenxing saw this scene, his legs went weak and he couldn't even stand steadily.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wenmian was silenced.
But the test paper on him fell into Ming Xinsi's hands before he could destroy it.
"As for the murder, we can find out the truth by investigating it." Chu Jue glanced at Jiang Wenxing coldly and said:
"take away!"
Mingxinsi took the distraught Jiang Wenxing away.
Jiang Wenmian's body was left there.
They have already examined the body and confirmed that it was murdered by an assassin. There is no need to keep it for further examination and return it to the family.
Jiang Qingrong was crying on the stretcher, and when he looked up, he saw his most promising son being taken away by Mingxinsi...
This time, he lost both his sons.
"Dad, what's going on? The captain just said that my second brother was killed by my eldest brother, and my eldest brother also cheated in the imperial examination..." Jiang Wan asked in shock.
The guests around were talking about it.
"Although these two are cousins in name, they are actually brothers. What a deep hatred they have. The eldest brother killed the second brother of MLZL..."
"Well, isn't this obvious? The Earl of Zhongyi passed away early, and the title is vacant. Without the eldest brother, the second brother will inherit. Otherwise, would the second brother go to so much trouble to find evidence of his eldest brother's cheating?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Jiang Wenxing's title of scholar was actually passed by someone else? Then how did he get the title of juren?"
"I think there will be a follow-up to this matter, and it will implicate many people..."
"Minister Jiang is so miserable. His only two sons are gone now... It's really a misfortune for his family..."
"Did he do something immoral? Otherwise, how could he be childless?"
The guests were talking about it, and all kinds of strange looks fell on Jiang Qingrong.
Jiang Qingrong's ears were buzzing. He had lost two sons and heard the sneers and ridicules from all around. His eyes went dark and he fainted on the spot.
"Dad, why did you faint? Dad!" Jiang Wan shouted in panic.
The Jiang family was in chaos.
There is not even a person in charge.
Finally, Jiang Rong stood up and looked at everyone and said:
"Everyone, something unexpected happened today. I hope you can forgive me for the poor hospitality. I will host a banquet for you another day..."
Everyone reacted, stood up, exchanged a few words and left.
Treat me to a banquet another day was just a polite remark.
But Xiao Nanxing glanced at Jiang Wenmian's body and smiled unkindly.
Well, indeed, I will treat you all to a banquet another day.
The guests left one by one.
Master Shen was silent for a long time when he saw this scene, and comforted Jiang Rong:
"I will send someone to the Mingxin Division to inquire about the news. If Jiang Wenxing is innocent, he will be given justice. This... Hey, I'm sorry. If you have any questions, just come to me."
Jiang Rong, who had suppressed his smile, said with a heavy face, "Thank you."
