Chapter 296 Ruthless and ruthless(1/2)
After Jia Qiang and her uncle's family had breakfast with Shang Zhuo and his four disciples, they went on business together with their brother-in-law Tieniu.
If Liu Laoshi and Aunt Chun's Baba'er were allowed to stay at home and enjoy their happiness, they would be free from illness, so they prepared two meals a day, morning and evening.
Don't underestimate these two meals. Tie Niu can eat as much as a family of eight.
Coupled with a few big men who practice martial arts, these two meals are enough for Liu Laoshi and his wife to be busy for most of the day.
Being busy all day long, You didn't let You send someone to help.
Liu Laoshi remembers that Jia Qiang once said that he was afraid of being harmed in the palace of this country.
Therefore, the food he eats must be cooked by him and Aunt Chun.
He even buys rice, vegetables, noodles and meat himself.
After Youshi saw that he had been unmoved by the request several times, he seemed to have noticed it and stopped forcing it.
I also invited Liu Da Niu so that Aunt Chun could go to Huifang Garden for a stroll when she had time.
As a result, Aunt Chun and Liu Da Niu did not dare to take even one step in the painting-like garden like Huifang Garden.
After Youshi pulled it once, he couldn't move it anymore.
Instead, I invited Mrs. You here again. The old lady is also a smart person and can flatter and chat with Aunt Chun for a few words...
Third Sister You and the cheerful Liu Da Niu can also exchange a few words, while Second Sister You has a gentle personality and plays with Little Shitou, which Little Shitou likes very much.
In order to curry favor with this family, Youshi went to great lengths.
So far, the results are pretty good.
After Jia Qiang found out, she couldn't tell her elders directly about the affairs of Second Sister You and Jia Zhen and her son, so she only mentioned it to Liu Da Niu.
But he didn't quite understand how women thought. Liu Da Niu actually didn't dislike it, she just said that women were not easy...
After Jia Qiang was speechless for a long time, she felt that this family would not cause trouble, so she simply ignored it.
Although I feel disgusted in my heart, raising a Youshi is not a waste of money.
As for Sister Eryou, they are all treated as relatives.
To the outside world, it would be better to set up an archway.
Although he hated Jia Zhen to the core, he still supported Jia Zhen's widow.
Who can say that he is mean and unkind to the Jia family?
…
Today, Jia Qiang did not go to the Dongcheng Bingma Si Yamen. She has experienced the rebellion of the Liwei Battalion and swept through the two "dangerous places" of Tianlangzhuang and Jinmen Tower.
People dare to block it.
In the past two days, Gao Long led his team, and the Jinsha Gang worked openly and secretly, white and black, and swept through the major gambling houses, brothels, and shopping malls in the East City.
We have collected countless evidence of murder, deception, and fraud.
No one who can open gambling houses, brothels, or people's markets in the capital has simple things behind them.
However, when it comes to a serious case of rebellion, no one dares to show up at this time. They can only hide the hatred of losing money in their hearts and quickly find a way to clear up the mess.
I don't know how many connections I have, so I went to the Jia family or the Lin family to ask for some favors.
The Jia family and the Lin family didn't even meet with anyone, but instead sent out an official document from the Ministry of Household Residence asking for the money to be emptied...
In a few days, the speed at which the Ministry of Accounts repaid its shortfalls increased greatly.
With the capture of Dongcheng, the Bingma Division and the Jinsha Gang also gained a large area of financial resources, which was sufficient for them to be self-sufficient.
These are only visible on the surface, secretly the manpower brought by Jia Qiang from Jiangnan are constantly integrated into the capital, first taking root in Dongcheng, and constantly developing new people.
Everyone is like a spider. After occupying a place, it starts to lay eggs, hatches little spiders, and when mature, it builds a web and lays eggs again...
Until the spider webs cover the entire Shenjing City, of course, these are all things for later...
Today, Jia Qiang took Shang Zhuo and other 20 personal guards, and Tieniu went to the Xicheng Bingma Si Yamen.
The emperor gave him the gold medal because he asked for a thorough investigation of the entire Shenjing City, not just Dongcheng.
The main camp of the Jinsha Gang is in Xicheng, so it would be more convenient to conduct a thorough investigation...
However, he was not prepared to personally interfere with the search in Xicheng.
Jia Qiang always remembers a red line: the military power in the capital is really dangerous.
As the only force that could be mobilized at will within the jurisdiction without causing any misunderstandings, Jia Qiang thought that it would be a bad thing if he extended his hands everywhere.
Therefore, when Qiu Liang, the commander of the Xicheng Army and Horses Department, asked him to preside over today's search, Jia Qiang flatly refused, saying: "Commander Qiu is the commander of the Xicheng Army and Horses Department. I will only conduct investigation and supervision, and will not personally interfere."
Qiu Liang had no choice but to recruit two hundred soldiers, and together with Jia Qiang, they began to conduct a thorough investigation of the wild trades in the streets and markets of Xicheng.
While riding on the horse, Qiu Liang was still regretting: "Ning Hou, you walked too fast that day, otherwise you will work with Ning Hou to solve the Changchun Temple case."
Hearing this, Jia Qiang said calmly: "It doesn't matter, Commander Qiu still has a chance. Although Changchun Guan was investigated, the mastermind committed suicide when he was captured, and some minions were found, which is of little use. If Commander Qiu can investigate today Even if there are big fish, you can still build great achievements."
Qiu Liang laughed dryly and thought to himself, he didn't dare to ask for this great achievement.
The Jia family has been in decline over the past ten years, but with the emergence of Jia Daishan in the second generation, the foundation of the family lintel is still there, able to withstand the storm.
As for the Jingtian Marquis Mansion of the Qiu family, it was only a county marquis at the beginning and could not even be hereditary. How could it dare to get involved in such disputes?
Knowing that Jia Qiang would come to Xicheng sooner or later, Qiu Liang not only did not think about making meritorious deeds, but also gave a hint to his subordinates early on to say hello to all the rivers and lakes in Xicheng and not to seek death.
Come to think of it, even if there were any secret weapons, they would all be put away now.
While he was chatting with Jia Qiang, Qiu Liang just wanted to end the day quickly. However, the less he wanted something unexpected to happen, it just happened...
"Help!"
"Help!"
It was just an ordinary street in Xicheng. People were walking around and shops were open to welcome customers. At this moment, in an alley, a girl with disheveled hair suddenly ran out and walked toward Jia Qiang and Qiu Liang with a look of horror. Come running.
After a while, seven or eight men dressed in Tsing Yi and dressed as slaves were chased out of the alley. They were all cursing and looking fierce.
When Qiu Liang saw this, his heart thumped. He saw Jia Qiang's expressionless face from the corner of his eye. He quickly rode forward and shouted: "What are you doing? Is there any way to pursue a girl from a good family in broad daylight? "
Unexpectedly, the leader of the slaves was not afraid. He looked at Qiu Liang and said, "Look at your appearance, are you from the Army and Horses Division? My master is Jiang Zining, the second-class male of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion. My family is here to chase the escaped slaves and fight with you." What does Ma Si have to do with you?"
"this……"
Hearing this, Qiu Liang hesitated immediately, turned around and said to Jia Qiang: "It turns out that he is a slave of the Jiang family, here to chase the girl who escaped from the house. Lord Marquis, look at this..." He added in a low voice: "The Jiang family, Su and Jia Qiang Good family relations."
When the disheveled girl heard this, her face was full of disappointment, and she said desperately: "God, I thought that meeting an upright official would save me from the fire, but I didn't expect that it was the officials who protected me!"
When the people around him heard this, they immediately started pointing.
Jia Qiang said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense! What's going on? You haven't even repaid your grievances. How can I make decisions for you? How can officials protect each other?"
When the woman heard the words, she immediately knelt down and said clearly: "The slave family was originally a good girl from Sunjiazhuang outside the city. Because the family was in trouble and her parents were old and sick, she thought of going to the city and selling her to a rich family as a girl to make up for her loss.
Household expenses. In order to find a job, the slave family spent 250 money and asked someone to help them. They thought they could get into a good family, but they were sold into a prostitution den instead. Not only did the family not give them money, they also sold the slave family and the family to a prostitute.
Sixty or seventy innocent girls similar to those in the slave family were locked up and taught shameful and obscene things. They were beaten and scolded if they disobeyed. In just half a month, seven or eight of them died, and they were not even taken out and buried.
Just dig a hole under the tree in the backyard and bury it..."
The people around him were horrified when they heard what he said. The seven or eight servants in blue yelled and even ignored Qiu Liang and Ding Yong from the Army and Horses Division, and wanted to come forward and rob him.
Jia Qiang shouted: "Tieniu, tell them to shut up!"
Tieniu is really different now. He stepped forward and cursed at the seven or eight slaves: "If you dare to make any noise again, I will tear your beaks off!"
The seven or eight wealthy slaves were frightened by the monster and turned pale for a moment and closed their mouths. Tieniu was actually a little proud and turned back to grin at Jia Qiang.
Jia Qiang twitched the corner of her mouth, looked at the "strange" girl, and said, "What's your name? Are you telling the truth?"
Naturally, it is difficult for a woman's maiden name to be revealed, but it is different when it comes to official inquiries.
The girl said shyly: "My family's name is Sun Qin, and everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, go to the third house in the alley, the one with the old locust tree in front of the door, and you will find out by digging in the backyard."
Jia Qiang said to Shang Zhuo: "Immediately send someone to Shuntian Mansion and tell Shuntian Mansion Yin Han Cong that there is a big murder case here and ask him to come and investigate as soon as possible!"
Shang Zhuo immediately sent someone to go, but Qiu Liang was shocked. He ignored the advice of the people around him and stepped forward in a low voice and said urgently: "Master Hou, the Pingyuan Hou Mansion and your Gui Mansion are the homes of family friends! If this matter comes to Shuntian Mansion,
, Old man Han Cong is a well-known iron-faced judge, something big must happen to the Jiang family in Pingyuan Marquis Mansion!"
Jia Qiang ignored him and said to the people around him: "The emperor loves the people, and the people are the foundation of the country. No matter who dares to harm the people of Yan, I will be the first to refuse!"
The people around him applauded as if they were watching a big show. Jia Qiang led people to the alley. He stayed outside and let the soldiers and people from the Xicheng Army and Horses Division go in. As expected, dozens of girls with miserable faces were brought out. Another day passed.
During Zhuxiang Kung Fu, some soldiers with pale faces came out to report:
"Sure enough, the body was dug up. It was cold and it wasn't completely rotten yet."
The people around were in an uproar.
Not long after, Han Cong, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, came in person with his yamen servants. Seeing this scene, his old face darkened immediately. After giving Jia Qiang a sharp look, he said to the man next to him: "Go and get tested!"
Jia Qiang stood up and dismounted, and raised her hand to greet this old official who was not very involved in government affairs but was very close to the emperor. The old man sneered.
Jia Qiang didn't care and glanced at the crowd on the roadside. Immediately, a woman who looked like a dirty woman rushed in. She knelt down and shouted: "Master Qingtian, it's hard for civilian women to redress their grievances!"
Han Cong didn't even wait for someone to take her back to the Yamen to complain. She screamed and complained: "A civilian woman is originally from the capital. She only took medicine because her father-in-law was seriously ill. After the family had no money, her husband borrowed money from the Duke Xiu's Mansion.
