Chapter Thirty: Dying Face Up
mperor Qi would never allow the Red Sun County to completely pledge allegiance to any prince or princess.Here's the translation: >> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Pr...A grand general of the nine legions, a member of the military council, it's impossible that he would be thrown into prison at the slightest hint of trouble.
But a person of such high standing, confined to their residence, is already a prisoner in essence!
Jiang Wang quickly realized the seriousness of the problem.
Huang Yixing's identity is sensitive!
How could such a person be appointed as the magistrate of Hengyang County
>
Nothing else, only the flag!
He was a banner of Ju Yang's assimilation into Qi.
A prime example to advocate "Yang people are also Qi people."
Cao Jie admonished Huang Yi for his conduct, driven by both momentary anger and a deliberate intention to reprimand him. He couldn't stand to see the former Yang official's habits brought into Qi State.
There is nothing wrong with this book.
But Huang Yixing's sudden death became a big problem!

Jiang Wang could totally imagine it. Someone would definitely spread the word, saying that Cao Jie had forced him to death!
Thinking of Huang Yixing, returning to Qi as a hero who had won the top prize, he was enthusiastically greeted. Although his words might have been flattering, his love for his country was genuine and should not be condemned.
You all call yourselves old Yang officials, don't you recognize the people of Yang as loyal subjects of Qi

Qi State now dominates the Eastern Region. How many countries has it absorbed How many people have migrated from other countries to settle in Qi
Even the Grand Chancellor, Jiang Rushuo, if you trace his ancestry back several generations, he was also a Rongguo person!
So those people, the officials of those countries, were never recognized by the so-called "true Qi people"
How do they cope
The biggest issue is that —
Jiang Wang understood very well that this kind of "prejudice," this sense of superiority among the "old Qizhi people," was truly real!

At first, Jiang Wang had made his name at the Qiyang battlefield, earning the title of Qingyang Town Man. Didn't Lei Zhanqian also see him as a mere country bumpkin When he successfully emerged from the Tianfu Secret Realm, he was already a disciple of the Chongxuan sect. Didn't the Fourteenth Prince, Jiang Wuyang, also call him rootless and shallow
In this case, Huang Yixing and Cao Jie are both highly representative.
One was a former imperial official who controlled an entire county, which was considered a high position. The other was a native of Qi state who had risen through the ranks step by step to become one of the highest-ranking officials in the state.
If this matter is not handled well, it will become a huge political event!
Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment, then said: "I wonder what the esteemed lords wish to command of me"
He now realized that the North Yard's formal summons couldn't just be for him to testify.
That day, the entire Qi army, no one knows how many people witnessed it firsthand. Jiang Wang's clues wouldn't be more than anyone else's.

Xie Huai'an looked at him and said, "Deliver the emperor's decree: Order Qingpai Jiang Wang, a fourth-rank official, to investigate this case thoroughly. Be sure to avenge Huang Qing in the underworld!"
If it be the Emperor's own command!

Jiang Wang had no possibility of refusal, so he bowed and addressed Qi Gong in the direction: "Your servant obeys!"
He is a fourth-rank Qingpai, and he was ordered to investigate the case, which is also in accordance with his duties. Although everyone knows that his ability to investigate cases is questionable.
For such a major case, Jiang Wang certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to take it all on. This wasn't the Yellow River meeting, where you could just go in and fight regardless of whether you could win or not.
The emperor entrusted him with such an important case. If he couldn't handle it, it wouldn't be as simple as just drinking three cups of wine as punishment.

After completing the formalities, he addressed Zheng Shidao: "As my experience in handling cases is limited, I fear my ability to investigate may be insufficient. I am worried that my actions might be clumsy and jeopardize the important plans of the court."
Zheng Shi was his big shot at Beiyuan, so of course he had to hold on tight.
Zheng Duwei didn't disappoint him, and immediately said: "Since the emperor values you, you can do your best. Of course, this department will also dispatch capable head officers to assist you."
This is practically saying, just go and investigate. Specifics of the investigation will be handled by professionals.

At that moment, Yang Weitong, the inspector who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "In my opinion, Lin Youxie, the blue-badge head constable, would be very suitable to assist Constable Jiang in handling this case."
Zheng frowned: "Captain Lin's ability to investigate cases is indeed unquestionable, but his strength..."
Yang Weiton laughed and said, "When handling a case within the borders of our Qi state, what importance does cultivation level hold Besides, don't we have the world's foremost inner palace"
There's not much to argue against this statement. Zheng Shi wasn't too bothered by it himself, and he just asked Xie Huai'an, "What do you think, doctor"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Xie Huai'an sat upright and said slowly, "Inspecting the world is the duty of Beiyuan. An old man like me can only be considered an outsider. You can handle this matter yourself, general."
Just as he, a high-ranking official of the Imperial Court, was seated beside him, this place after all is the Beiya (Northern Palace), for specific cases, the authority still rests with the Commander of the Beiya.

Zheng Shiyi then turned to Jiang Wang and said, “Lin Youxie, the head of the Forest Department, will assist you in investigating this case. Head Jiang, His Majesty places great trust in you; do not disappoint him.”
Jiang Wang originally wanted to hug another thigh, but the cold captured God Yue.
If Yue Leng were to go along, he could just follow around and pretend for a bit, wouldn't that be easy
>
But just thinking about it, you know it's impossible. Yue Leng wouldn't be his deputy, even if Yue Leng agreed. With Yue Leng present, others wouldn't recognize this as a case investigated by Jiang Wang.
Lin Youxie was different. Due to her cultivation level and status, she couldn't surpass Jiang Wang in any way.
>
And her investigative abilities, Jiang Wang was very clear about!
He had always kept his distance from Lin Youxie, precisely because Lin Youxie's eyes were too sharp.
Jiang Wangli said, “I will do my best!”
Zheng Shi had already made his decision, and he didn't have much room to maneuver. He couldn't possibly change his mind at this point and suggest someone else. Besides, he didn't know anyone who could be his deputy and was stronger than Lin Youxie.
...but there was also a glimmer of understanding in my heart.
It turns out Yang Weitong... is also someone Lin Youxie knows in the city's Inspection Office.
>
In such a major case, bringing in Lin Youxie is itself a kind of accumulation of experience.
At this time, Yang Weitong took out a scroll from his sleeve and stood up to give it to Jiang Wang: "To minimize the impact of the incident as quickly as possible, it's impossible to keep anything at the scene. This is a painting of the scene where Huang Yixing died, and we have already had an artist paint it down. Huang Yixing's body has also been sealed up and will be available for you to examine."
Given the circumstances and inability to secure the crime scene, this was the best course of action. It preserved as much evidence as possible.
Jiang Wang took the painting scroll, unfurled it and looked.
The entire painting is a bird's-eye view composition.

At that time, as the morning light was just beginning to dawn, a bloodstained old man lay face up before the towering city gate of Zhaoheng City. The people around him were scattered—probably because it was too early, there weren't many people on the street at that time.
As can be seen, Huang Yixing fell backward off the city wall.
The artist's skill is remarkable. The blood on the person's face is depicted with great detail, every nuance visible.
It's just the same as watching it in person.
It's a pity that the painting depicts Huang Yixing after his fall from the city, but it doesn't show the process of him falling.
Of course, the painter arrived later and certainly didn't see the city's fall. All the painter could do was depict what he saw at the scene as faithfully as possible on the scroll, so that people would feel as if they were there themselves.

What impressed Jiang Wang most was——

In this picture, Huang Yiheng's expression is very strange. Although it is blurred by bloodstains for the most part, you can still feel that he wasn't in much pain when he died.
He stared straight ahead, his eyes fixed upwards, as if looking through the canvas... at the viewer!
Jiang Wang rolled the scroll, cutting off that gaze.
Carefully stowing the painting scroll away, he asked, "Honorable guests, is there anything else you require"
"Conduct the investigation well, don't tarnish my reputation in the Northern Court." Zheng said, rising to his feet and heading towards the exit. "Let Doctor Xie speak with you for a moment."
Yang Weitong also followed, saying, "I'll go get Lin Youxie."
In an instant, only Jiang Wang and Xie Huai'an were left in the Charter Hall.
Jiang Wang's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.u Shaomen's death will undoubtedly have a significant impact. However, his ambition to obtain the secrets of the Chongxuan School and his numerous wicked deeds are all supported by irrefutable evidenc...
