After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1240 All escorted into the city

Jiang Qianshi laughed: "Young Master Sifeng is right, your announcement is enough."

The confession that revealing one's identity caused the murderer to back down is the best proof that there is a powerful family or official behind this case.

Jiang Qianshi then looked at Gao Zhenzhi: "Gao Xuezi, Lu Xuezi, and Zheng Xuezi are all wrong. This case is not without evidence... Everything leaves a trace. Zhao Hefu and Fang Jiuxiong have legitimate household registrations and identities. If you investigate their families and trace back five generations or more, you will naturally be able to find out where they came from."

"Using the identity of a student from the Village Martial Arts Academy to assassinate a student from a noble family and shouting those two sentences, it is clear that they want to pin the crime of spies infiltrating the Village Martial Arts Academy and that the commoner students of the Village Martial Arts Academy are dissatisfied with the noble families. This is an attempt to incite chaos and cause infighting in our Great Wei."

"Coincidentally, this deputy commander is also from a peasant family and can't stand this kind of thing that smears the sons of commoners."

"The timing of this case is too coincidental; it's probably aimed at the Prince of Ye. It seems that the Prince of Ye and the Qi envoy also want to investigate this case thoroughly to give an explanation to the court, the noble families, and the officials, soldiers, and civilians, so that the Prince of Ye won't be branded as incompetent just after regaining his title."

this? !

Lu Fenxu and Zheng Qianming lowered their heads in fright, but the slight trembling of their bodies still caught the eye of Vice Commissioner Jiang.

Gao Zhenzhi didn't flinch, because he wasn't involved in the case. He was just too clever, so he noticed a tiny bit of something unusual and helped to cover it up. He wasn't actually involved, and he was completely innocent.

“Jiang Qianshi, Qin Jia Lao Qianhu…” Zeng Tongzhi came over stealthily again, and said earnestly, “Gentlemen, this case involves a lot of people, and it will not be solved overnight. We can’t find the real culprit on our own. Why don’t we send all the victims, murderers and suspects involved in the case into the city and hand them over to the Prince of Ye and the Qi envoy to deal with them?”

"This is truly the best way to handle it. Two enemy forces are about to attack, and we still have to fight them and arrange for Wei Minshan people to enter the city. We really don't have the time to thoroughly investigate this case."

Are you sick?
We need to fight the enemy now, why are you busy investigating cases?

Investigating cases is something we only do when we have the resources during peacetime!

Although Zeng Tongzhi was a seasoned veteran, there was some truth to what he said.

Jiang Qianshi looked at Grandpa Qin, Qin Xiaomi, and a royal guard, and said to them, "What Zeng Tongzhi said is also my plan."

"We have more important things to do now, but as I said before, everything leaves a trace, and in the future, we will be able to, and must, find out the truth."

Prefect Zeng hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, there's no need to argue about this now. Arguing at a time like this will only make the capital city more and more chaotic." It's a real headache!
Huang Wei, Qin Xiaomi, and Grandpa Qin all nodded: "Angel Qi is brilliant. Sending the people involved in the case into the city for detention is indeed a good idea."

"But be careful not to send infected people into the city... Among those involved in the case, there may be pathogens released from Dongmo. If they enter the city, it will cause chaos," Qin Xiaomi kindly reminded them.

Zeng Tongzhi said, "Don't be so kind. Just shut up. Do you know how much work your words will add to our army's workload? It'll kill us!"

Zeng Tongzhi deeply regretted his actions. Had he known things would turn out this way, he would have preferred to be demoted to a county magistrate. Now, he was trapped here, waiting to die. He was waiting to die from the plague, or to be torn apart by the enemy army. Just thinking about it made him want to cry.

"Then let's do it this way," Jiang Qianshi decided.

The Qin family grandfather and grandson stayed at the camp to help. In the middle of the night, the last two murderers, Qian Youlu and Shi Sizhu, were also captured, and the chaos at the chevaux-de-frise camp was temporarily brought under control.

"Dad, Xiaomi, Erlang, things are settled now. Let's hurry up and get some sleep. If we don't sleep soon, we might really..." be so tired that we urinate blood!
Two more empty cars were brought over, one for Qin Xiaomi, Chief Shanshan, and Aling to rest in.

"Royal guards, female guards, protect my niece well! Grandpa Qin, Erlang, come on up, let's sleep in this carriage." Uncle Qin climbed into the carriage, leaned against the side wall, and fell asleep as soon as he said he would. He was just too tired.

……

Dangdang Dangdang!
Dangdang Dangdang!
The next day, just as dawn broke, the Qin family was awakened by the sounds of gongs, shouts, curses, and beatings coming from the barricade camp.

Over the course of the night, more than 300 people involved in the case were arrested.

Don't think it's a lot. Those six murderous trainees and more than fifty arsonists and murderers would need this many people to help them cause such chaos.

Among these people were Jiao Qianhu's deepest spies and moles; Su Qianhu's last backup agents; and people who knew things were not right but opened doors for them to enrich themselves.

"More than a dozen people committed suicide. Among them, two were managers of the village martial arts hall, servants of Si Feng, Zheng Qianming, and Lu Fenxu, and some laborers and porters who were responsible for camp supplies and doing chores."

The matter was too serious. Jiang Qianshi even personally led troops to oversee the situation. Knowing there was no way to escape, and fearing torture and the implication of more people, he gritted his teeth and committed suicide.

"Ha, you think death will end it all? This case will surely be reported to His Majesty. Even if the Northeast Prefecture is gone, the capital will continue to investigate this case!"

Jiang Qianshi was furious: "This case is too vicious; it's an attempt to cut off any chance for us commoners to get ahead!"

He was born into poverty and knew how hard it was to get back on his feet, so he was really furious. He had made up his mind to use the merit of dying in battle to get His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the case and clear the name of this commoner!
"We implore the Qin family and the Prince of Ye to lend a hand," Jiang Qianshi said, bowing and making his request.

Grandpa Qin solemnly said, "I am also of humble origin. For the first thirty years of the reign of the Prince of Ye, I also lived the life of a commoner. I will not sit idly by. Please rest assured, Vice Minister Jiang."

"Thank you!" Jiang Qianshi was very happy, feeling that the sky had become much brighter.

"Commander Qin, the Qin, Jiang, Xu, and Qiao families have arrived and wish to see you!" a messenger reported.

Jiang Qianshi: "Qin Laoqianhu, take this joint letter, leave the camp, and inform the Wei people and the mountain people to prepare to enter the city to avoid the war."

"Well, farewell." Grandpa Qin didn't linger. He took the joint letter, and together with his youngest son, Qin Xiaomi, Jiang Erlang, the mountain people, the female guard, Wei Baihu, and the men of the Kang County Magistrate, Lin County Magistrate, and Xue Lichi, he rode away from the barricade camp.

Xu Erjun, Qiao Songguo, Qin Cunquan, Qin Dayan and his son, Lao Liu and Qin Jie were all startled when they saw Grandpa Qin riding up on horseback.

Why are they coming out in such a grand and imposing manner with so many people?

However, they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the person.

"Fifth Uncle, Xiaomi, is everyone alright? Is no one injured or sick?!"

Their baby was not even a month old when he went through this ordeal. They really didn't dare to think about how the little one would get through this ordeal if he got sick.
"All is well, all is well. Gu Chengyong has been executed. Now, the capital city is under the command of the Prince of Ye and the Qi Imperial Envoy, along with a large number of righteous and capable people. The city gates can be opened to welcome the Wei people and mountain dwellers into the city to escape the calamity of war." Grandpa Qin told them this good news.

"Really? We can really go into the city? That's wonderful!" The men from several families, along with the Wei people, cheered upon hearing this.

Wei Min squeezed through the crowd and asked, "Grandpa Qin, when are we going into the city? Are you going to delay again? Will we be bullied once we're in the city? Is there a place to settle us? Where is that corrupt Magistrate Kang?!"
