Chapter 29: A Major Case
into a crowd to observe the "enemy".In fact, there are also many ordinary people living in Nanshan Gate. They are more interested in the so-called "barbarians" compared to those wealthy folks in Wan...Having hung around the Northern Palace for so long with his green plaque, it could be said that it was almost like home to Jiang Wang.
At the beginning, when Capturing God Mountain saw Leng Jian's talent with delight, he reserved a place for him. Now, we can finally see the fruits of his labor.
The best palace in the world, also known as the Qing Pai (a prestigious title). It made countless young people in Qi State yearn for the Qing Pai!
Other government offices need not speak further about talent reserves before the Northern Palace. No matter what kind of talents they have, they must yield to the first place winner of the Yellow River exam.
If the City Patrol Office issued official credentials, Qiyángzi Jiang Wang would certainly be eligible to possess one, thereby publicly displaying his name.
Responding to reality, Jiang Wang could clearly feel the acceptance of the entire Qingpai system towards him.
Because he had always been a nominal official with little practical experience, most of the Blue Card officers didn't really have an impression of him. Some even had negative impressions. They generally felt that he was a privileged Blue Card holder who got his position through nepotism, holding the rank of fourth-grade despite not putting in the hard work like other officers who diligently handled cases. He seemed unfair to them.
After he secured a spot to represent Qi in the Yellow River Conference, this perception began to change.
At the Yellow River's confluence, Jiang Wang took first place in a single stroke. Overnight, he became the pride of Qing Pai.
Many fishermen are willing to mention Jiang Wang's name.
“Do you know Jiang Wang The number one internal palace in the world. We're from Qingpai!”
Just this one sentence, I don't know how much it makes one feel proud.
The team of blue-badge constables sent to summon Jiang Wang were all polite and respectful, none of them putting on airs. After entering the Beiyuan (Northern Garrison), they were all smiling and well-meaning.
However, this relaxed and cheerful atmosphere disappeared completely once they entered the hall of the Charter.
The charter, the other name of Bi'an.
The Bì'àn was the seventh son of the Dragon Emperor. He loved lawsuits in his lifetime and upheld justice. Legend has it that he governed all lawsuits among aquatic creatures.
Of course, as the dragon clan was driven into exile in the vast ocean, the aquatic creatures that remained in the mortal world no longer venerated Biàn'an. However, there are no taboos among humans about this.
As its name suggests, this Charter Hall held considerable importance within the Northern Palace.
And the three people sitting in the Charter Hall made it even clearer how important this matter was today.
Jiang Wang only recognized two people: Zheng Shi, the Commander of the Northern Camp who sat in the middle, and Yang Weitong, the Deputy Inspector who sat on his right.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Just these two individuals are already quite impressive.
>
Not to mention the elegant man sitting on Zheng Shi's left.
Please note that I can only translate the text within the > tags.
Judging by his appearance, he seemed to be in his middle years, appearing younger than Zheng Shi. He was dressed impeccably and carried himself with an air of nobility. Although he sat on Zheng Shi's left, the attitudes of both Zheng Shi and Yang Wei suggested that this person held a position higher than Zheng Shi!

The position of Northern Palace Commandant was a low-ranking yet powerful one. In terms of official rank, it was lower than Jiang Wang's third-rank Golden Melon Warrior. However, in terms of actual power, throughout the entire Linzi city, few could match Zheng Shi's status.
Three figures sat facing the hall door, with a chimera statue resembling a tiger behind them. The scene had an air of a court tribunal, causing one to feel inexplicably nervous.
"Captain Jiang!" As soon as Jiang Wangfu entered, Zheng Shi immediately said: "This officer and Doctor Xie, along with Inspector Yang, have been waiting for you for a long time!"
This is a reminder to Jiang Wang about the identity of that refined man.
...holding a position superior to Zheng Shi, but bearing the surname Xie...
Greetings, Minister Xie Huai'an!
>
Just now, after bullying someone's nephew, Jiang Wang felt a little guilty.
"I have met several distinguished gentlemen," he bowed. "Jiang Wang has arrived late, please forgive me."
Xie Huai'an did not speak.
Although Yang Weitong sat with the two others, she actually didn't have much right to speak.
On either side of him, one was his direct superior. The other was at the same level as his teacher. He sat there, merely overseeing the fairness of the entire case. In reality, he couldn't be considered equal to anyone.
Zheng Shi waved his hand: "You didn't even let me know I was being summoned beforehand."
I just brushed over that, and then got straight to the point, asking, "When you returned to Qi last month, do you remember what happened on Yangdi"
>
Jiang Wang was stunned: "Yang Di Nothing happened"
>
In that brief moment of hesitation, my mind raced.
On their way home, the returning troops encountered some unpleasantness in Hengyang County. Cao Jie reprimanded Huang Yixing a few words and then let it go easily. For someone of Cao Jie's status, this was nothing at all.
He did not pass through Akigawa County, and in Nikko County he only exchanged a few words with Tadanobu who was waiting by the road.
What else is there
Zheng Shidao: "Think about it carefully."
Jiang Wang looked puzzled and said, "I don't understand, sir. What are you asking"
Xie Huai looked at him silently, still withholding his opinion. While Yang Weitong remained expressionless, showing no emotion whatsoever.
"Let me be straight with you," Zheng Shidao said. "What happened between Cao Jie and Huang Yi that day You were there, do you remember"
"Of course I remember."
Jiang Wang then recounted the events of the day in detail, including Huang Yixing's organization of the welcome and Cao Jie's reprimand... He remained impartial, offering no personal opinions or biases.
...even completely verbatim retelling of the conversation, not a single character added or removed.
There were quite a few people present that day. He saw and heard more than anyone else, there was nothing to hide.
And he didn't think Cao Jie had any problems either.
It's just that the current Northern Palace Cavalry Captain is asking like this...
Between Cao Jie and Huang Yixing, could something else have happened
>
Did you guess wrong first Today I was summoned to the Beiyuan, not to be assigned a task, but as a witness in a certain case
After Jiang Wang finished recounting, he couldn't help but wonder.
Xie Huai'an then spoke up, "Are you sure General Cao said that—'You old officials of Yangzhou, your habits need changing'"
Jiang Wang thought for a moment and said, "It is true that there was such a saying, but at the time..."
Xie Huai'an raised his hand to stop him, then said, “Huang Yixing is dead.”
He said this, looking straight into Jiang Wang's eyes.
>
He had a refined appearance and a gentle demeanor, but when he looked at Jiang Wang, his gaze was piercing and intimidating.
Jiang Wang stared intently and exclaimed, "How is this possible!"
No matter what Huang Yixing said, he was still the pacifier of Dazhi Prefecture, a position comparable to that of a county magistrate.
Such a high-ranking official, if something happens to him, it's definitely not a small matter!
Xie Huai'an spoke slowly: "Someone saw Huang Yixing with disheveled hair, scattering his Daoist essence and falling to his death at the city gate."
This way of dying is really strange.
To disperse one's Dao Yuan... Is that to say, suicide
But how could someone like Huang Yixing commit suicide
Jiang Wang immediately thought to himself, how could these high-ranking officials in the imperial court not have thought of what he had
He only felt his throat was a little dry and couldn't help but ask, "Where is General Cao now..."
Xie Huai'an said, "I have been confined to the house."
Cao was suspected to be involved in Huang's death!
No wonder the Commandant of Beiya personally oversaw this, no wonder there's even a Minister in Attendance present!
The death of a county magistrate, involving the commander of the Chunsi Army, Cao Jie... This is already common knowledge.
In the whole country of Qi, there were not many eligible people to participate.
Of course the Department of Military Affairs couldn't appear in public, so someone from the Department of Civil Affairs came!d in hand, what is there to fearIt was at that moment.Suddenly, everyone's vision darkened.It was as if an invisible hand were pulling a giant curtain...All of a sudden, the entire Qixing Valley plung...
