"My Lord, on the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, some criminals broke into Nanshan Villa at night..." Kong Wenjie stood up, and when he said this, his dark face was full of guilt and self-blame. He slowly turned his head and looked at Pang Yi. Seeing Pang Yi's sallow face, his voice was full of regret when he spoke again. "Grandma Chen was killed by criminals to protect Madam Pang. Mr. Ding and Mr. Gu were also seriously injured. Mr. Ding had three broken ribs, and Mr. Gu's right arm was chopped off by criminals."
"Why didn't you tell me this just now? Where's Hailin?" Pang Yi suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Kong Wenjie's shoulders, and pinched them tightly, "How is Hailin? And where's the child? Where's the child?!"
"Madam Pang and the fetus in her belly are fine, but she was frightened and too sad. However, she is in good health and is now living in the prefectural government office to recuperate. Someone is taking care of her day and night. Please don't worry, brother Pang," Kong Wenjie said hurriedly, "That night, when Cheng Yin and I arrived, the gang of villains were killing three elderly people in front of Madam Pang. Grandma Chen had already fallen in a pool of blood, Mr. Gu had his right arm cut off, and Mr. Ding was vomiting blood. Even so, the two of them were still guarding Madam Pang." At this point, Kong Wenjie remembered the bloody and tragic scene at that time, and his voice became hoarse. He clenched his fists tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "It's all my fault! If I had arrived a moment earlier, such a tragedy would not have happened. Before Master and Madam left, they told me to take good care of Madam Pang and the elderly people in the family, but... but I actually..."
Kong Wenjie couldn't continue speaking. The seven-foot-tall man's eyes were blurred with tears and his shoulders twitched.
"Please punish me!" Kong Wenmin knelt down beside Kong Wenjie with a plop, and kowtowed, "Wenjie failed to take good care of the family, which resulted in the death of Grandma Chen, and the serious injuries of Mr. Ding and Mr. Gu. Wenjie is guilty! As his elder brother, I naturally cannot escape the blame, so please punish me!"
"Now is not the time to punish you brothers," Zhong Mingwei said in a deep voice, "Moreover, it was my oversight. I should have trained my personal soldiers to enter the palace early. If that were the case, there would not be such a tragedy today..."
"Sir, this is not your fault. You haven't even started to take the throne of the Prince of An yet. Where do you find the time to train your personal soldiers? And what's more, it's a weather like Ningguta. This is not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame some people for being so vicious that they even spared pregnant women and the elderly," Pang Yi gritted his teeth and suddenly cast his gaze on Kong Wenjie, "Wenjie, have you found out the identities of the criminals?"
"I was just about to report," Kong Wenjie said hurriedly, "The leader is Jiang Jinwan. Lord Fang is investigating the identities of the other followers. As soon as something happened in Ningguta, I hurried to the capital to report, so I don't know whose orders Jiang Jinwan received to return to Ningguta to commit the crime."
Upon hearing this, Pang Yi frowned and said, "Wasn't Jiang Jinwan executed by Dai Jingfeng a long time ago?"
Yes, it was Pang Yi who instigated the incident of the Eight Tigers of the Jiang Family in Ningguta. Pang Yi paid special attention to the subsequent events and naturally knew that Jiang Jinwan had been executed. So when he suddenly heard Kong Wenjie mention Jiang Jinwan's name, Pang Yi was very surprised.
"Yes, I also heard that Jiang Jinwan was dead, but the person who led the murder was Jiang Jinwan," Kong Wenjie said, pulling out a small bag from his front and holding it forward with both hands, saying, "Here is a piece of evidence that I found on Jiang Jinwan's body. It can confirm his identity."
Pang Yi immediately took the small bag and handed it to Zhong Mingwei. Zhong Mingwei opened the bag and saw a white jade Guanyin pendant. Although he had only seen this pendant once, he was particularly impressed because it was Mei Ya's personal item in the past. Mei Ya also said that it was the only relic left to her by her parents. However, the pendant was later stolen and Zhong Mingwei never saw it again. Now it seems that the person who stole Mei Ya's pendant was undoubtedly Jiang Jinwan.
