Chapter 170 You Can’t Do It, I’ll Do It
When Jiang Qingzhi arrived, he was shocked to see Xiang Jin covering his mouth and exclaiming.
Although I am beautiful, as a woman, you shouldn't be so obsessed with me, right?
Xiang Jin quickly realized that he had lost his composure and squatted down, "Greetings to Lord Wei."
Jiang Qingzhi nodded and said to Xiang Jin: "The third lady is in the room, but..."
"Please let Chief Wilbur in." Mu Shu's voice came from inside.
The voice was like a clear spring, which made Jiang Qingzhi greatly admire the beautiful girl's ability to withstand pressure.
If someone else had been on the brink of death, being able to speak at this moment would be considered fluent.
Jiang Qingzhi walked in.
There was a Hu bed in the room, and Mu Shu was sitting beside it. When he saw him come in, he stood up and squatted, "Greetings, Lord Wei."
"You're welcome." Jiang Qingzhi came here to do business, so he immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty ordered me to investigate this matter..."
Does this mean that we should handle this matter in a businesslike manner? Mu Shu raised his eyes and said, "Excuse me."
Jiang Qingzhi asked, "The murderer has already fled and we can't catch up with him. So, has Miss Mu found anything here?"
"Yes." Xiang Jin interrupted. Jiang Qingzhi slowly looked at her, his eyes slightly cold. Xiang Jin said, "The third lady needs to recuperate..."
"You go out first!"
Mu Shu said.
Xiang Jin said, "Here are the Third Lady and Chang Wei Bo."
It's inappropriate for a single man and a single woman, right?
But Mu Shu had a cold face, and Xiang Jin had no choice but to leave.
What does this beautiful girl want to do?
Jiang Qingzhi glanced at her, and Mu Shu's eyebrows were filled with a sigh. She said softly: "There are many things in the Mu family that cannot be told to outsiders..."
Of course Jiang Qingzhi wanted to hear it, so that he could have a clearer plan when planning for Yunnan in the future.
But you can't be impatient with such a girl, you must always let her feel your concern.
In a word: Compared with the matter, you are of course more important.
But the young man was ignorant and careless, how could he be so considerate?
That's why the girl falls in love with an older man.
"If you don't want to say it, there's no need to say it." Jiang Qingzhi said calmly.
This conveys a message: I won't force you, just be at ease.
There was more warmth in Mu Shu's eyes. After the assassination, those old friends only asked their families to inquire about the matter, but they hid far away for fear of being implicated.
Compared with them, the young man in front of him was particularly sincere.
"No problem." Mu Shu said, "The former Duke of Qian, Mu Chaofu, was my cousin. After he passed away last year, his son, Mu Rong, inherited the title at the age of five. My other cousin, Mu Chaobi, was appointed as the deputy governor and replaced Mu Rong to guard Yunnan.
Mu Chaobi is ambitious, cruel and murderous. He is determined to inherit the title, and for this purpose he has been purging my cousin's confidants internally..."
Mu Chaobi?
Jiang Qingzhi nodded, "Continue."
"The biggest obstacle for Mu Chaobi to succeed the title is Mu Rong."
Mu Shu looked at Jiang Qingzhi, "Does Lord Chang Wei know how powerful it is?"
“There is no father and son under power, let alone uncle and nephew.”
"It is indeed Lord Chang Wei." Mu Shu let out a long sigh, "I came to the capital to show my attitude so that Mu Chaobi would not dare to act rashly."
"Are you worried that Mu Chaobi will harm Mu Rong?"
"Yes."
Jiang Qingzhi sorted out the matter and concluded that there was a 70% chance that Mu Chaobi had done it.
"Take good care of your injuries." Jiang Qingzhi stood up.
"Chang Wei Bo, be careful of Mu Chaobi." Mu Shu said, "This man only cares about himself and power, and can abandon everything else."
"Isn't that a beast?"
"Yes."
Jiang Qingzhi said: "I do have some experience in dealing with beasts."
After Jiang Qingzhi left, Xiang Jin came in and said, "The assassins have all escaped. There is no evidence to prove this. No matter how many tricks Chang Wei Bo uses, it will be useless."
"If we can use this opportunity to make friends with Lord Changwei, it will be a great help for future events." Mu Shu stroked his chest and frowned, "As long as I am in the capital, Mu Chaobi will be cautious. Lord Changwei is a close minister to His Majesty. If we make friends with him, we will have an extra bargaining chip."
……
"Jiang Qingzhi went to Mu Shu's residence and stayed there for a quarter of an hour before coming out."
Zhu Hao brought this news which made Lu Bing sneer.
"The assassin fled far away. Is Jiang Qingzhi trying to rehash something he didn't know?"
"Commander, do you want our brothers to make trouble for him?" Zhu Hao asked.
"Let's see first." Lu Bing said, "In the past, Jiang Qingzhi's involvement in government affairs was mostly in border affairs. This is the first time he has been involved in government affairs. Many people want to give him a warning. We can just go with the flow."
Zhu Hao chuckled, "If we can't figure this out, we can use Mu's words to create momentum."
Lu Bing shook his head. Zhu Hao was stunned. "The commander means..."
"Mu Chaobi is cruel and murderous, and will do anything to achieve his goals. His current control over Yunnan is not legitimate. And the Duke of Qian is only five years old. If he had not considered the court and His Majesty, Mu Chaobi would not have tolerated him."
Lu Bing's voice was cold this afternoon. "He wants to inherit the title of Duke of Qian, but the court has always believed in orthodoxy. What is orthodoxy? Mu Rong is the orthodoxy. Mu Chaobi has no other choice. Once the assassination case is exposed, unless he is found guilty, Mu Chaobi will cry out for injustice..."
"He will use this to force the court to let him inherit the title. Then, whoever handles this case will become the target of the struggle between the two sides." Zhu Hao suddenly realized, "The commander asked the brothers to stop fighting in order to push the matter out."
"Yan Song and others cooperated with me to push Jiang Qingzhi out together." Lu Bing said, "Keep an eye on this matter, and report any movements from the Mu family in a timely manner."
"Yes."
Zhu Hao took his leave and walked out, saying with a smile, "Mu Chaobi, don't let me down."
……
"Are you crazy?"
Zhu Xizhong had just returned from outside the city and looked exhausted.
"Brother, when I came back, I heard that you took over this matter, but Your Majesty..." Zhu Xizhong wanted to say, but Your Majesty is crazy, but he held it back in the end.
Jiang Qingzhi signaled the servant to get tea for the old dandy, "Why do you say that?"
"Cold water will do!" The old dandy looked really thirsty. "Mu Chaobi has ulterior motives and wants to seize my nephew's title, but the court has been unwilling to agree. He has been looking for excuses for a long time. If this case cannot be solved, he will definitely take advantage of the situation to cause trouble. He is the local emperor of Yunnan! Qingzhi!"
The servant handed over some cold water, and Zhu Xizhong drank it in one gulp. He said dissatisfiedly, "Bring me a pot of water. Damn it, that bastard miracle doctor, I thought he was a real god, but after testing him, he almost stabbed me to death."
"Stab to death?"
"That's right." Zhu Xizhong lifted up his trouser leg and saw the needle holes on his thigh. "That guy said he was the best at acupuncture and that Dalang's minor illness could be cured with a few needles. I wanted to try it first. After two needles, my eyes and mouth became crooked. If my followers hadn't been quick to remove the needles, I would not have come back."
Jiang Qingzhi said, "Are you crazy?"
Zhu Xizhong took the teapot handed over by the servant, drank wildly from the spout, and panted, "At that moment, my brother's mind was full of Dalang, and he had long forgotten about life and death."
He suddenly paused, "Damn it, you interrupted me and I forgot what I was doing. Hurry up and pretend to be sick. I'll go to the palace and push the matter off for you."
"I am sure about this matter." Jiang Qingzhi said.
"You have no confidence at all." Zhu Xizhong cursed, "The assassins have all escaped, who are you going to look for? There are so many Jinyiwei and they have found nothing. What can you do with Shitou and other idiots who only know how to kill people? Hurry up..." Outside, Sun Chonglou poked his head in, "I know something else."
"What will happen?" Zhu Xizhong asked.
Sun Chonglou said, "I will also keep watch for the young master."
Jiang Qingzhi just smiled, and Zhu Xizhong stomped his feet in the end, "Forget it, is Mu Chaobi so great? At most, brother will accompany you, damn it!"
After Zhu Xizhong left, Hu Zongxian came over and said, "My Lord, the assassin has escaped. It's hard to find any trace of this matter..."
"Everyone is worried that Mu Chaobi will cause trouble, but they forget one thing..."
"What's the matter?"
"Mu Chaobi is in the capital, and there are other people!"
In his previous life in South America, Jiang Qingzhi had seen many assassinations and kidnappings. If we talk about the understanding and familiarity of such matters in the entire capital, he is second to none.
What kind of place is South America? A place where people would kill for a piece of marijuana. In comparison, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is definitely a kind place.
Hu Zongxian said: "But there is no trace to be found!"
"There is always a way."
Jiang Qingzhi took out the medicinal cigarette and Hu Zongxian naturally lit it for him.
Tilting his head slightly to light the medicinal cigarette, Jiang Qingzhi patted the back of Hu Zongxian's hand and took a puff of the medicinal cigarette.
In the autumn wind, he said: "This matter still depends on Mu Shu."
He already had a plan, but he needed Mu Shu's cooperation.
But Jiang Qingzhi was not in a hurry.
He knew very well that the more anxious a man was, the more suspicious a woman would be.
The less anxious you are, the more suspicious a woman will be.
There is a huge difference between suspicion and doubt.
The provincial examination is over.
Xu Wei looked quite embarrassed, but his expression was full of confidence.
"It will definitely pass."
A confident person!
Facing his disciples' questions, Xu Wei was as relaxed as if he had just gone on an outing.
And Jiang Qingzhi was on a picnic.
"Chang Wei Bo, I heard that you took over the case of Mu Shu's assassination?"
Lu Wei invited me today, saying that it was autumn and the horses were fat... The old guy's words were speechless.
In autumn, when the horses are fat and the height is high, it is time to go out and practice riding and archery.
The Lu family had many descendants, plus a large group of followers, so Jiang Qingzhi brought only two generals, Heng and Ha.
"Yes." Jiang Qingzhi nodded.
There are white clouds and flocks of birds in the distance.
The sky is blue, which is refreshing.
"They said that case was very troublesome," said Lu Wei.
Jiang Qingzhi smiled and said nothing.
Just as Lu Wei was about to continue persuading him, he saw a carriage coming down accompanied by several guards.
"It's Mu Shu's bodyguard." Someone recognized the man.
Jiang Qingzhi rode over.
The car curtain opened, and inside was Xiang Jin.
"The Third Lady asked me to tell her that after much thought, she decided that the only person who could do this was Mu Chaobi. But Mu Chaobi is a very careful person and would not leave any evidence behind. The Third Lady said..."
Xiang Jin looked at Jiang Qingzhi with complicated eyes, remembering what Mu Shu said earlier.
——Although I have borrowed some help from Long Wilbur, I don’t want to drag him into this matter.
"Mrs. San said that if Lord Bo is not sure about this matter...she will find a way to get Lord Bo out of it."
what!
Jiang Qingzhi didn't expect Mu Shu to be so kind.
This woman is pretty good.
But Jiang Qingzhi would not let go. He wished to tie this matter to himself tightly.
In this way, our future mission will have a legitimate reason... Something happened in Yunnan, and the court is thinking about who to go.
Mr. Jiang said: I have dealt with the Mu family before and I know Mu Chaobi well. Who else but me can handle this matter?
That’s not Yunnan, that’s at least five years of national life!
Jiang Qingzhi said with a righteous look on his face, "Tell Miss Mu that although I am not a pushover, I cannot bear to see Mu Chaobi being so cruel to a weak woman. I will take care of this matter!"
Could it be that this man has fallen in love with the Third Lady... Xiang Jin took a closer look and it didn't seem like that. She said softly, "But we have thought about this for a long time and couldn't find any evidence against Mu Chaobi. Lord, you..."
Jiang Qingzhi had sorted things out long ago. He knew that Mu Chaobi had inherited the title in the end, but was later stripped of it... This should be the sequelae of Mu Shu's assassination.
This is the benefit of being a prophet, knowing the beginning and end of things. From this, Jiang Qingzhi deduced that Mu Chaobi's people would definitely contact him.
To show that this matter has nothing to do with him.
By the way, we can also see if we can trick the investigator Jiang Qingzhi.
Xiang Jin was conflicted, but he was reluctant to let go because he thought that if a young and powerful person like Jiang Qingzhi was implicated in this matter, Mu Shu would be left without a helper.
"Thank you, Lord. Can we reconsider this matter? In fact, I wish you could do it, but Miss San is kind-hearted. The Jinyiwei sent out more than a hundred experts but couldn't find any handle on him. Lord, you are alone..."
Xiang Jin was carefully choosing his words, thinking about how to make the other party retreat without damaging the reputation of this young noble.
Jiang Qingzhi looked at Lu Wei who was riding a horse in the distance and said, "Mu Chaobi's people will come to see me, and then I will make my own arrangements. All you have to do is obey my orders. Is it possible?"
Xiang Jin was stunned. "Mu Chaobi's people knew that this matter was handled by the Lord, so why would they come to see the Lord?"
"You are smart, but you lack experience. People's hearts are not what you think!" Jiang Qingzhi took out a cigarette.
Mr. Jiang has seen a lot of this kind of intrigue and deception.
In later generations, there was a murderer who returned to the scene pretending nothing had happened after the crime...
Why are you so stubborn? If it weren't for the fact that the Third Lady didn't want to implicate you, do you think I would be willing to persuade you... Xiang Jin was about to speak when he saw several riders galloping towards him from the way he came.
The leading man's eyes narrowed when he saw her, but he ignored her and bowed to Jiang Qingzhi.
"My name is Mu Xian, and my master is Mu Chaobi, the deputy governor."
After Mu Xian finished speaking, he sneered at Xiang Jin.
But he found that Xiang Jin, the fierce woman, was staring at Jiang Qingzhi in a daze.
