The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 264 Goodbye Magistrate He

Jian Yue nodded: "My whereabouts are not difficult to guess. After all, the experimental fields are all here, and it is almost harvest time. The escaped Yan Xinning and the Ghost Gate people must have guessed that I would come back."

I just don't know what role the rich businessman Jiang played in this. Moreover, the poison on Fu Wu and Fu Liu is obviously the work of Guimen. As expected, Master Ye and Yi Tianxiao are hiding in Yanling Mansion. Since the two of them are in Yanling Mansion, Yan Xinning must be there too, and has already joined forces with Jian Huaian.

Fu Shiyi and Fu Shier were still monitoring Jian Huaian's house. Jian Yue frowned and thought hard about how to deal with the Ghost Gate Poison Doctor.

If they stop here, flee back to the ghost gate, and never come out again, that's fine. But if they continue to stay and harm others, we can't let them go.

And Yan Xinning must be eliminated. She is a walking poison warehouse, poisoning wherever she goes. She is like a time bomb, exploding at any time.

Jian Yue took Fu Yun to find County Magistrate He.

He Zhixian looked at the newly promoted princess with mixed feelings. Back then, she was a poor orphan who suffered at the hands of her adoptive mother. Unexpectedly, in less than a year, she transformed into the Princess Mingyue, who was personally appointed by the emperor.

The thin, frail, dark-skinned little girl with dry yellow hair is gone forever, replaced by a bright woman with fair skin and noble aura.

Magistrate He wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead, bowed slightly, and asked with a smile: "I wonder what the princess wants you to do for me?"

Jian Yue smiled: "Zhixian He is too serious. I dare not send you here. I came here to report a case."

"Report a case!" County Magistrate He's eyes twitched, and those not-so-pleasant memories resurfaced before his eyes.

I remember last year, any case involving her was… it was hard to describe. It seemed like the smell of shit and fart was still lingering in my nostrils.

Stop, don’t think about it anymore.

Magistrate He grinned, forcing a stiff smile: "I don't know what injustice the princess has encountered. Just let the servant come over and say hello. I will definitely handle it impartially."

Jian Yue looked grateful: "I know that Lord He is a good official who is honest and upright. If it weren't for Lord He's care, I don't know how much suffering I would have suffered at the hands of my adoptive mother! Mingyue would like to thank Lord He here." She saluted to County Magistrate He.

County Magistrate He was so panicked that he waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, Princess, you are a precious girl, please don't let me down. Besides, you have made great contributions to the country of Nanchang, how can you bow to a mere county magistrate like me?" He wanted to help but didn't dare to, and he rubbed his hands, looking very funny.

Jian Yue stood up straight, with a serious face: "Sir He, you should know what happened in Shangjing not long ago?"

He Zhixian nodded, a little confused. He was just a small magistrate, and he didn't take sides. What did the case of forcing the emperor to abdicate in the capital have to do with him?

"The reason I came here is because three people escaped from the big case in Shangjing. One of these three people is known to Lord He, she is Yan Xinning, the fake daughter of the former Lord Yan, and the other two are ghost gate poison doctors, who were involved in poisoning the emperor."

"Ah..." Magistrate He was so frightened that he almost fell down. His face suddenly changed, and he looked at Jian Yue in disbelief, "My princess, are you kidding? Are they hiding in Yanling Mansion?"

Jian Yue nodded: "And it's within your jurisdiction."

thump!

Magistrate He's legs went limp and he fell to the ground. The servant at the door ran over to help him up and asked, "Master, are you hurt?"

Jian Yue twitched her lips. She didn't expect that County Magistrate He was so timid that he fell down out of fright. He was so old, he should not get hurt from the fall.

County Magistrate He was also embarrassed.

It's really embarrassing.

He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment: "Well, how did the princess know that they were within my jurisdiction?"

Jian Yue: "Do you still remember Jian Huaian?"

Magistrate He nodded.

I remember it so well! The people and events in their family are so fresh in my memory that I can’t forget them even if I want to: “Jian Huaian was just released not long ago. Could he have committed a crime again?”

"I suspect Yan Xinning and Ghost Gate Poison Doctor are hiding in his house. Last night, two of my guards went to get information, but they were trapped in Jian Huaian's room and were poisoned. The method used to poison them is exactly what Ghost Gate Poison Doctor usually uses."

County Magistrate He frowned.

Since these dangerous elements were found hiding in his jurisdiction, he would be in big trouble if they escaped.

"There is one more thing. Lord He, do you know the wealthy businessman Jiang? His mansion is in Dongyang Hutong. He married Jian Huaian's twelve-year-old sister Jian Xiaohe as his concubine."

County Magistrate He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He had seen it before, the Jian family always refreshed his cognition. This time too, as a brother, he actually let a twelve-year-old child be a concubine to an old man.

Extremely shameless!

Magistrate He didn't know whether to be angry or furious. He calmed down and said slowly: "I know a little about this rich businessman Jiang. He is a businessman of medium or small size in Yanling Prefecture. He is usually very cautious in dealing with people and never offends people easily. It is said that there are only two places he likes to go the most, one is the teahouse and the other is the brothel."

Magistrate He thought for a moment and continued, "It seemed to be the year before last! There was a rumor that he liked to marry a young wife. But the rumor soon disappeared."

"Does he have many properties in Yanling Prefecture? Does he have properties in other places?"

"Yanling Prefecture is where the Jiang family made their fortune, and most of their businesses are here. However, there are very few members of the Jiang family, and they are all from distant branches. I heard that they don't usually interact with each other. His son married a local wife, and his daughters also married locals, and they have never left Yanling Prefecture."

"Okay, then please ask Sir He to send someone to search Jian Huaian's house first!"

About half an hour later, Magistrate He sent thirty yamen runners to Jian Huaian's residence.

Jian Yue quickly returned to Yue's house, disguised himself as a servant, and summoned all the masters of Yue's house to go to Jian Huaian's house.

At first, there were six masters protecting Yue's house, and four masters entered Yue's house as servants. Now Fu Wu and Fu Liu were injured, so only Fu Yun, Fu Qi, Fu Ba and the six masters outside the courtyard could be used.

These people should be enough in broad daylight.

Jian Yue and his group arrived almost at the same time as the people from the government office. Fu Shiyi, who was secretly monitoring Jian Huaian, discovered Jian Yue and his group and came over quietly to report.

"Jian Huaian went out to the shop as usual, and I asked Twelve to follow him. After Jian Huaian left, the house was very quiet, without any movement."

Bang bang bang!

The runner knocked on the door.

Jian Yue ordered: "Go and tell the yamen runners to arrest the man in the shop of the wealthy businessman Jiang."

Fu Shiyi turned around and went to find the yamen runner.

Jian Yue said, "We'll go in through the back door." She had already discussed it with Magistrate He. The yamen runners were responsible for arresting people, and she led the others to cooperate. Because ordinary yamen runners could not deal with the Ghost Gate Poison Doctor.

Jian Yue and the others all had a piece of cloth tied around their arms to distinguish them...
