Chapter 184 Lots of doubts
A ray of pale light shone through the dim window, shining right on Jiang Zhiang's chest, where blood was gushing out.
The dagger that caused him to bleed profusely was still clearly stuck in his chest, and there was a hand holding the handle of the dagger, a hand that could not believe it.
"Qin Haoran?" Tang Yuwei stepped forward quickly and grabbed his shoulders from behind.
Qin Haoran turned around in disbelief, his eyes flickering, "Isn't it me who killed him?"
Tang Yuwei choked, turned around and reached out to feel Jiang Zhiang's breath, but the coldness had already penetrated into his bones.
"General Tang, I just arrived as well. As soon as I arrived, I saw a dagger stuck in his chest. I was just about to take a look at the dagger..."
Tang Yuwei couldn't wait for him to explain, and grabbed his collar, anger mixed with grief and indignation, "Do you know how important this person is to us!"
Qin Haoran pouted helplessly, reaching out to pat Tang Yuwei's hand, "I know! General Tang, you also know how important he is to me, let go first!"
Tang Yuwei was aware of this, so he let go of his hand, sighed, and turned his head away, starting to carefully observe Jiang Zhiang's death, trying to find some clues.
Qin Haoran then said, "This dagger is called Bright Moon Crescent, and it belongs to the Rong Kingdom!"
As Tang Yuwei listened, he continued to check every mark on Jiang Zhiang's body.
Qin Haoran continued, "I just carefully examined this dagger. Although this dagger is made in Rong country, not many people can use it."
He pointed at the gem on the dagger again, "This gem is called Red Spider. It is very expensive. Moreover, only members of the Bolton Chamber of Commerce headed by our Helan family have the right to sell such a large gem!"
The more Qin Haoran spoke, the more he felt guilty and the more he felt something was wrong. "My brother must have discovered me!"
Tang Yuwei also roughly understood the cause of Jiang Zhiang's death, which was caused by this dagger!
In response to Qin Haoran's words, "You mean, your brother hired someone to use this thing to frame you?"
"At first, I thought so too," Qin Haoran continued, pacing.
"But you don't understand my brother. He is a straightforward person. He doesn't think in such roundabout ways. If he wants to kill me, he will just send someone to kill me. He will never use such a roundabout way!"
"But this dagger does come from the Bolton Chamber of Commerce." Qin Haoran was also puzzled!
Tang Yuwei rubbed the blood stain on his hand and said, "So, your brother might be working with someone who knows the situation in Tong County very well!"
"Yuwen Yuehua? Although Jiang Zhiang did not explicitly say that it was Yuwen Yuehua who ordered him that day, who else but her power could mobilize so many people! And who else has such great power!" Qin Haoran analyzed calmly, but always felt that things were too simple.
Tang Yuwei was also a little skeptical. "With the strength of the Imperial Guards, Jiang Zhiang would not be able to escape without Yuwen Yuehua's permission!"
"But Yuwen Yuehua allowed him to return to Tong County so openly. Isn't she afraid that we will catch him and get him to confess something? Now I think something is wrong!"
"I think so too!" Qin Haoran looked at Jiang Zhiang's miserable condition again. The person who killed Jiang Zhiang killed two birds with one stone. He not only destroyed Tang Yuwei's investigation but also made it more difficult for him to return!
"Besides, when I came here just now, all the soldiers at the door had disappeared! Did you notice?"
"It seems that he was also killed!" Tang Yuwei felt angry and at the same time felt negligent.
But for a while, they were unable to analyze who was committing the crime.
Qin Haoran couldn't help but worry, "General Tang, aren't you going to interrogate him today? Jiang Zhiang is like this now, but..."
"This is why this person is so scheming. Jiang Zhiang didn't die earlier or later, but died at this time!" Tang Yuwei thought about the time and was afraid that it would be too late if he didn't rush back.
But there is no other way at the moment, we can only carry Jiang Zhiang's body back and explain to the people in vain!
The two men put down Jiang Zhiang's body, covered it with a white cloth on a wooden board, and hurried to the county government office!
Along the way, Tang Yuwei kept thinking about how to solve the current problem and not let the prince lose his trust with the people.
He was thinking over and over again, so he looked back at the unruly Qin Haoran, and an idea suddenly came to his mind, "Qin Haoran, it seems that I need to inconvenience you today!"
In the past, Qin Haoran would definitely not help Tang Yuwei at all, but now he and Tang Yuwei are in a cooperative relationship.
Even though he had a bad feeling, he could only trust him this once.
Half an hour later, the two men finally carried the body to the government office.
In the lobby, Tang Yuwei lifted the white cloth and everyone was stunned.
The prince was even more confused, and kept looking for answers on Tang Yuwei's face.
Others felt happy, angry, and the most common emotion was dissatisfaction.
At this moment, Lord Feng was given a seat by the prince because of what happened just now, in order to silence the gossips of the people.
He looked at the tragically dead Jiang Zhiang with disdain and covered his nostrils with his sleeves. "General Tang, you are so good. It's fine if you don't want him to testify, but you killed him and showed off in this hall. What are your intentions?"
Qin Haoran breathed a sigh of relief and glared at the fat man, Lord Feng. "What are you talking about? It wasn't General Tang who killed this man. It was your grandfather who killed him!"
"You, you are so rude to me and even speak wildly!" Lord Feng finally managed to save his face today, but General Tang alone was not enough, and now here comes another unruly citizen.
"You old official, you have a foul mouth!" Qin Haoran fanned the air in front of his nose, walked to the center of the hall in an unruly manner, and bowed to Yuwen Jin.
"Your Highness, I have a deep hatred for this man and have wanted to kill him for a long time. Today, I finally killed him with my own hands."
Qin Haoran's words caused an uproar and agitation among the people in the hall.
Because most of these people knew him, the riots a few days ago were only brought to an end with his appeasement.
Seeing that there was not much opposition from the people, Yuwen Jin slammed the gavel.
"Jiang Zhiang is an official appointed by the court after all, and he played a major role in today's case. But you killed him for your own personal vendetta. Tell the truth, or you will be severely punished."
Severe punishment? Qin Haoran couldn't help but glance at Tang Yuwei.
With a frustrated look on his face, he cursed in his heart, "Didn't I say I would be severely punished? This is more than just a grievance, okay!"
Tang Yuwei turned his head away, pretending not to see Qin Haoran's cursing expression.
Qin Haoran was helpless and knelt upright in front of him. "Your Highness, I really didn't know that this Jiang was so important. I secretly saw General Tang imprisoning him that day, and in order to seek revenge, I secretly followed him to the place where he was imprisoned."
"I have been waiting for many days but have not had the chance to do anything. Today, I finally saw that General Tang was not there and the soldiers guarding outside were not there either, so I decided to kill him."
Yuwen Jin's gaze drifted over Tang Yuwei, and the two of them blinked in tacit understanding and understood each other's intention.
He coughed twice and said seriously, "There are many suspicious points in this matter. We must arrest this person quickly and start the trial after everything is clarified!"
