An hour later, the morning court ended.
Jiang Yueyang and Prince Yan went to the Supervisory Office together, but after only two steps, Xie Beixiao caught up with them.
"Master Xiao Jiang."
Jiang Yueyang blinked in surprise, "General Xie, what do you want to call me for?"
"Last time I saw Lord Xiao Jiang and Young Master Ye had a good relationship, I wonder..." Xie Beixiao was a little embarrassed, "I wonder if Lord Xiao Jiang could help to make some connections so that I can have a competition with Young Master Ye?"
Jiang Yueyang refused without a second thought, "Sorry, I can't help you with this. He never likes to fight with others. As his friend, I don't want to cause him more trouble."
"It's just a simple competition, stop when it's enough." Xie Beixiao didn't want to give up and looked earnest.
Jiang Yueyang shook her head. "General Xie wants to compete with him, so he can only work hard on his own. I can't help him."
Seeing her firm attitude, Xie Beixiao sighed and said nothing more.
"Then we'll leave first." Jiang Yueyang nodded at him politely and walked away.
After walking for a while, King Yan shook his head and laughed, "Xie Beixiao's attitude of asking for a competition is as persistent as asking to marry a girl."
"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Yueyang glared at him secretly, "General Xie is just young and hot-blooded. When he sees someone with great martial arts skills, he wants to compete with him. He has no other intentions."
"I didn't mean anything else by that." King Yan smiled playfully, "Jiang Yueyang, you've got the wrong idea again."
Jiang Yueyang looked at him warningly, "Whether I have wrong ideas or not, you must not say such things again."
"Yes, yes, yes." King Yan agreed with a smile in his eyes.

When Jiang Yueyang arrived at the Supervisory Office, he was about to say a few words to everyone there when people from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple came in with a pile of files.
Jiang Yueyang looked at the table that originally only had pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and suddenly it was piled with files. She was unable to react for a moment.
Ke Ming smiled and spoke first: "These files I brought are all cases that my Ministry of Justice has not been able to solve in the past two years. They are handed over to the Supervisory Department today. I hope the Supervisory Department can find the murderer as soon as possible."
Before Jiang Yueyang could say anything, Cui Yuan smiled and said, "Master Jiang, I have brought you some major cases from the Dali Temple in the past three years, including several strange unsolved cases. I'll trouble you from the Supervisory Department to handle them."
Jiang Yueyang: "..."
For a moment, she wanted to take back what she had said in the morning court.
But on second thought, she established the Supervisory Office to redress the injustices in the world, so how could she back down at the very beginning!
It’s just an old case, just roll up your sleeves and get to work!
Jiang Yueyang looked at Bai Ze and the others and instructed: "Go through these cases, classify them according to their difficulty, and start investigating from the simplest ones."
Bai Ze and others took the order and quickly began to organize the files.
Prince Yan was very interested in the investigation and picked up a file to carefully study and analyze it.
Upon seeing this, Cui Yuan said that he had other things to do in the Dali Temple and left first.
Ke Ming and Jiang Yueyang gestured to each other to let them talk for a moment, and then they walked aside.
"Master Xiao Jiang, I came here today. In addition to handing over the files, I also want to talk to you about the case of Chen Zhiyi."
Jiang Yueyang nodded, "Well, go ahead."
“We wanted to give an explanation to the family of the deceased, but Chen Zhiyi was a stubborn person and refused to answer any questions we asked.
There are so many people with the same name that we have not yet been able to confirm the identities of all the dead." Ke Ming was very distressed.
Jiang Yueyang asked: "Do we have to inform the family members?"
"According to the rules, the family members should be informed, which is a sign of respect for the deceased. However, this case is special, so it is not necessary to inform the family members."
"Then don't tell the family!" Jiang Yueyang said bluntly, "Chen Zhiyi's crimes can be traced back to three years ago, or even longer.
After such a long time, the families of the deceased may have let it go. If we bring it up again now, we may cause them to experience the pain of losing their loved ones again.
Moreover, the deceased died in that manner. It would be hard for the deceased's relatives to accept it."
Ke Mingruo felt that what she said made sense, but he was also worried that some of the victims' families would never be able to let it go.
Jiang Yueyang knew what he was thinking at a glance, and then continued: "However, the identity of the deceased still needs to be checked. Whether to inform the family members depends on the situation.
As for how to confirm the identity of the deceased, you can start with Shopkeeper Shen. I think he has a repentant heart. "
Ke Ming shook his head and sighed, "We have already asked Shopkeeper Shen, and he doesn't know who some of the dead are."
"Let him go and persuade Chen Zhiyi to speak!" Jiang Yueyang remembered that Chen Zhiyi did not forget to take her father with her when she escaped yesterday, which showed that she was a filial son.
She said, “Chen Zhiyi is filial to Shopkeeper Shen, so let Shopkeeper Shen persuade her, maybe she will be willing to cooperate.”
Ke Ming's eyes lit up, "I will go back right away."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Just as he reached the door, he heard the sound of drumming outside. Someone was striking the drum of the Supervisory Office.
