Chapter 1339 - 1339 31 People of New Qi Added more for the Alliance Hierarch traveler!
1339: Chapter 31 “People of New Qi” (Added more for the Alliance Hierarch traveler!) 1339: Chapter 31 “People of New Qi” (Added more for the Alliance Hierarch traveler!) The Imperial Court Adviser stayed behind alone; was there something he wished to discuss?Is there more to this case than meets the eye?
Or does the Son of Heaven have some private commands?
Jiang Wang was lost in wild thoughts and didn’t speak for a moment.
“I heard…” Xie Huaian looked at him and said indifferently: “The Son of Qingyang and my good-for-nothing nephew have some misunderstandings?”
Jiang Wang started to sweat profusely right then.
Well done, Xie Baoshu.
As old as you are and still pulling the tattletale routine?
Despicable, hateful.
Shameful!
“Probably…
there are some,” Jiang Wang replied cautiously while watching Xie Huaian’s expression.
Xie Huaian waved his hand: “I’ve also heard it vaguely mentioned by the servants, so I won’t ask for specifics.
Young people are impulsive; it’s normal to have disputes over disagreements.”
He smiled and said: “If there’s any misunderstanding between you, just talking it out would be good.
There’s still a long way to go in life.
A little friction in youth, what does it count for?
In a decade or so, it’ll be a funny story, something to laugh off!
There’s a saying: no discord, no concord.
Perhaps you could even become friends!”
It’s said that Xie Huaian treats Xie Baoshu like his own child, and today it appears to be true.
Despite his dignity as an Imperial Court Adviser, he personally takes care of his nephew’s private affairs; he’s truly concerned.
It seems I’ve wronged Xie Xiaobao; he wasn’t tattling after all, thought Jiang Wang.
Of course, he wouldn’t dare put on airs in front of an Imperial Court Adviser, so he quickly responded: “Your words are very true, it is better to settle enmity than to hold grudges.
I always keep this in mind.
When I saw Brother Baoshu on the road today, we even took the initiative to greet him.”
“Oh, is that so?” Xie Huaian smiled relievedly: “The Son of Qingyang is open-minded, not your average person.
As for my Baoshu, he’s been spoiled since childhood and has a difficult temperament.
In fact, he is older than you!
Yet, he falls short of your maturity.
I’ve really wronged you.”
Jiang Wang, with insufficient audacity, merely replied: “Actually, there was no injustice…”
“I know about Baoshu’s character,” Xie Huaian promised: “Don’t worry, I’ll teach him a lesson when I get back.
If that boy ever disrespects you again, I’ll definitely punish him severely!”
“That won’t be necessary,” said Jiang Wang, still feeling guilty.
He couldn’t let Xie Huaian go back and discipline the child.
If Baoshu was wronged and started complaining…
He quickly rectified: “Actually, Brother Baoshu is not a bad person, just a bit too straightforward.
There’s no real conflict between us, just a small misunderstanding, which can be resolved through discussion.”
“That’s good,” Xie Huaian smiled and said: “Then I won’t delay your case investigation any longer.
This case has the nation’s attention; you must be extremely cautious.”
Jiang Wang hurriedly took his leave: “Thank you for the advice, Adviser!”
One working to pave the way for his nephew and the other fearing a beating, they actually got along quite well.
After leaving the Constitutional Hall, Jiang Wang was still wiping off his sweat.
A person should not become overconfident.
You can’t just bully the son of an Imperial Court Adviser.
Xie Huaian was amiable enough, but if it were someone less kindly disposed, disciplining me, Jiang Wang, would have been just that, with nobody to object, right?
Jiang Wang pondered silently…
In the future, when bullying Xie Baoshu, it’s better to let Zhongxuan Sheng lead.
That fatso has thick skin, not afraid of scolding; with a deep background, he’s not afraid of oppression.
Wearing a blue headscarf, Lin Youxie, stood outside the hall.
It had been a while since they last met, and her aura seemed much more solidified, her cultivation had clearly improved.
However, her expression was very distant, as she greeted Jiang Wang with proper decorum: “Sir Jiang, I am ordered to assist you in your investigation in the Yang Region.”
Handling business with a professional attitude is good, Jiang Wang liked doing business professionally.
“Understood,” Jiang Wang casually ordered: “Let’s take an hour to prepare separately, then meet up at Yi Zi Gate after an hour.”
Lin Youxie opened her mouth; she wanted to say that she always carries her meal tickets with her, so there was nothing to prepare for.
But after thinking, she simply responded: “Alright.”
Jiang Wang didn’t say more and left the Beiyaduwei, hurrying back home.
He wasn’t returning because he had left something at home that he needed to bring with him, but rather to find Zhongxuan Sheng for advice!
Today’s events were peculiar.
He vaguely sensed something, but it was not clear enough, nor was it solid enough.
Rushing to Zhao Heng City without caution might just land one in an unexpected trap.
Jiang Qingyang was not a brainless man, yet there was no need to always take things head-on.
Zhongxuan Pang was so clever; it was only right to make use of him!
A gentleman’s nature is no different; he is good at making use of resources!
Zhongxuan Sheng, who had been waiting in the residence, listened quietly to Jiang Wang finishing his narration, his first reaction was also a frown: “This case is imbued with strangeness.”
“Right?” Jiang Wang also said: “How could someone like Huang Yixing possibly commit suicide?
Yet the case is deeply troubling, and truly a difficult matter to handle.”
Zhongxuan Sheng glanced at him: “Although this case is strange, it is not difficult to handle.”
This statement seemed contradictory, but coming from Zhongxuan Sheng’s mouth, there assuredly was a rationale.
“How so?” Jiang Wang urged: “Hurry up, I’m about to depart!”
Zhongxuan Sheng curled his lip but eventually said: “First, you need to understand why the Son of Heaven picked your name.”
Jiang Wang pretended to inflate his ego: “I am the top officer of the Inner Mansion!
Among the younger generation, who else but me?”
“Then why are you wasting time here with me?” Zhongxuan Sheng spread his chubby hands: “As the top one, just go and take them down.”
“Alright, alright,” Jiang Wang soothed: “Quick, say why.”
Zhongxuan Sheng humphed, then spoke: “It’s certainly not because Great Qi Country has no one else available.
Rather, you, Jiang Wang, in some sense, ought to be on the same side as Huang Yixing!”
Jiang Wang caught on immediately and said with realization: “So if I handle the case, it can demonstrate impartiality?”
The key to the matter rested on his identity; he wasn’t indigenous to Qi Country— in a certain sense, he symbolized the “New People of Qi”!
Huang Yixing represented the assimilated side of Old Yang officials, but the nineteen-year-old Son of Qingyang, a third-grade golden-mace Samurai, was a new emblem!
When he unfurled the Purple Micro Middle Heaven Emperor Flag at Guanhe Platform, he also erected the banner for “New People of Qi.”
In Qi Country, the name “Jiang Wang” stood for the achievements a “New Person of Qi” could attain and the trust they could garner within Qi Country.
“And the crux of the issue is…” Zhongxuan Sheng said: “Why does the Son of Heaven need to exhibit ‘justice’?”
“Isn’t that what’s supposed to happen?” Shisi, who rarely spoke in front of others, suddenly interjected: “Isn’t handling a case supposed to be impartial?”
While she was still naive, Jiang Wang understood completely.
Because the outcome of the case had already been decided, the Son of Heaven needed that “result” to be uncontroversial.
To put it bluntly, the Son of Heaven aimed to protect Cao Jie, ensuring that this turmoil did not taint him.
No matter whether Huang Yixing’s death was related to Cao Jie or not.
In the end, they must not be related!
So when Zhongxuan Sheng said the case was easy to handle, it was because the only explanation Jiang Wang needed was to the Son of Heaven.
And for the Son of Heaven, the outcome was already predetermined.
The only thing Jiang Wang had to do was to make the result more convincing.
His identity was a link to “justice.”
That’s why the one to handle this case was not Yue Leng, nor any other famous detective, but him, Jiang Qingyang!
“I understand,” Jiang Wang stated.
“Then, does the death of Huang Yixing really have anything to do with General Cao?” he asked.
“Who knows?” Zhongxuan Sheng swayed on the rocking chair, which creaked under his weight.
This corpulent man remarked with a meaningful tone: “You are the investigator of this case, the truth of the matter is in your hands.”
In the company of two friends, tranquility was unlike anywhere else.
Jiang Wang sat quietly for a while.
Then he stood up and said: “I’m off!”
