The Xie family's residence in the capital was not shabby.
Not only was it in a good location, but it also occupied a large area.
Now it was burned to ashes.
Even the surrounding houses suffered from the fire, and the burned area was almost half a street. street.
As the New Year approaches, they have lost their place of residence.
Those victims who did not die in the fire knelt on the street crying and shouting that they were wronged.
Detectives from the Criminal Department had cordoned off the scene early, and a group of people were searching for any useful clues in the ruins.
Such a big case occurred, and the victims included the direct descendants of the eldest son of a famous family, as well as a consort who was about to marry the princess.
This was a big case that broke the news.
No one has the guts to suppress such a case, and no one dares to ignore it.
The person in charge of this case was Qin Zongquan, the chief arrest officer of the Criminal Department.
This man was a rare competitor in the art world and had been working as a public servant for more than 20 years.
Even the men in the green forests of Beizhili would have headaches for several days just by mentioning his name.
Green smoke was still rising from the ruins, and there were still lingering fires in some places, but Qin Zongquan didn't care about these, jumping high and low, jumping high and low, looking for clues.
He is extremely skilled in Qinggong.
Others can't catch up with him, and they all know how to catch the boss, so they just do their own thing.
It wasn't until he came back after turning around that his junior brother He Zongli stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, have you discovered anything?"
"The people who came here are really good at it.
Those who do this should all be masters.
The Xie family's guardians are not weak in skills, and there are quite a few famous martial arts masters among them.
Unfortunately, they were solved without having much effect. " Qin Zongquan said as he took out a piece of rag with several iron arrowheads wrapped inside.
He Zongli looked at it carefully for a moment, "This seems to be the kind of short arrow used by hand slaves."
"That's pretty much it.
These people were well prepared.
They basically used lime, fishing nets, and hard slaves, except for firearms.
These arrows were also fed with huge poison, and they had no intention of leaving any survivors alive.
If Second Young Master Xie hadn't returned from the banquet last night, he might not have been able to escape the murderous hand."
As a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River and future royal relatives, the Xie family has many children in the capital.
However, except for Xie Yao, who went out to drink wine last night, the remaining children in the capital have basically been wiped out.
The corpse was burned like charcoal, but these husbands were very skilled and experienced, so if they were serious, they could still detect it.
These people had their throats cut first and then set on fire.
In addition, the front and back doors were blocked with stones, and the neighbors' reactions proved that this was definitely not a scam, but someone deliberately killing people.
Killing a royal relative and also destroying the whole family.
Thinking about this kind of case makes one's hair stand on end.
Even though Qin Zongquan had been working in the Ministry of Justice for more than 20 years, he had never encountered a case like this.
When he thought about the pressure he faced to solve the case, he felt like his head was as big as a bucket.
His junior brother He Zongli was more direct.
"Such a case shouldn't be investigated by the Jin Yiwei.
The dead Young Master Xie is dead, but if he wants to recruit a consort, the Xie family must be considered relatives of the emperor.
How come it falls to our Criminal Department to solve the case?
There will be a competition every three days, five If you can't hand over someone within a limited time, the master's plan is not a vegetarian. " Qin Zongquan sighed helplessly, "Forget it about the Jin Yiwei now.
If we tell the master this, the board will definitely fall even more severely.
It is better to check for any clues first.
In such a big case, there will always be clues left.
As long as If you follow the clues, you won’t be afraid of finding the murderer.”

He Zongli saw that his senior brother was naturally excited when faced with a big case again, and secretly shook his head: We can afford to offend anyone who can do such a case, so why don't we go and check and get rid of our own little ones?
Fate, my senior brother's thoughts are still not clear enough.
When the case was reported to Emperor Jiajing through the Ministry of Punishment, as expected, the emperor was furious and ordered the case to be solved within a time limit.
The pressure from the cabinet also fell on the head of the Ministry of Punishment like a mountain.
The dignified prince-in-law was murdered.
If such a case cannot be solved, then where is the dignity and majesty of the court?
In other words, if someone can kill the consort and get away with it, it means that this society has no basic order.
What qualifications does it have to be called a society?
Yang Tinghe directly invited Lin Jun, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, "See Brother Su, The matter is so important that I can't be polite to you now.
You and I know the situation well.
At this time, what the capital wants is peace, no chaos, let alone such a big thief going unpunished.
I don't care how many days I give you, the time I give you here is only one month before New Year's Eve.
If we can’t bring the culprit to justice, our life will not be easy.”
Lin Jun also knew that the reduction of Jin Yiwei had been put on the agenda.
As the new year was approaching, annual rewards were needed at the border, and the nobles also had to give rewards, which put great pressure on Taicang.
In order to reduce expenses, Jinyiwei's layoffs must be completed before the New Year.
In Yang Tinghe's design, Jinyiwei retains the establishment of thirteen provinces, among which the independent Jinyi Yamen in the north and south Beijing are merged with the Qianhu Office in the province.
That is, the Jinyi Yamen in the capital directly governs the entire Jinyi Qianhu Office in Beizhili, and the thirteen Qianhu Offices , one thousand one hundred and twenty persons per school.
Coupled with the Han generals and the guards protecting the emperor, the number of people who can survive in this huge brocade system will not exceed 20,000.
It is conceivable that such a strong abolition will inevitably be strongly resisted by the Jinyi system, and it may cause some big troubles.
Furthermore, in the past, the security of the capital was jointly handled by the Jinyiwei, the Wucheng Military and Horse Division, and the Criminal Department.
Now that Jin Yiwei has been laid off on such a scale, the security of the capital cannot be counted on.
The civil service system of the imperial court does not want Jin Yiwei to interfere with the prison and turn it into a mere honor guard and escort force for the emperor, without any other powers.
At this critical moment, the Third Law Division is even more requested to support the chief assistant to maintain the security of the capital and ensure that after the withdrawal of Jin Yiwei, the social security of the capital will be no worse than before.
Only in this way can the legitimacy of abolishing Jinyi be demonstrated and the chief minister can speak easily.
For a major case like the murder of the quasi-consort, if he couldn't give an explanation, it would be the chief assistant, and he wouldn't be able to pass the test.
Lin Jun didn't think there was anything wrong with Yang Tinghe's order, or that he, the same year, was deliberately making things difficult.
On the contrary, he was a little embarrassed and took the initiative to reduce the time limit to half a month, then returned to the Yamen to personally supervise the case.
Even with the statement from the Minister of Punishment, Yang Tinghe still couldn't rest assured: "This kind of case will not be solved just by suppressing it or breaking the legs of the person below.
The key is to find the murderer, but who Who can deal with this kind of case, who would be in trouble with the Xie family?"
Although I am not a master of punishment, I have been an official for many years, so I still have some experience.
His eyes looked at the case file several times, and finally landed on a name: Xie Yao, the only member of the Xie family who was not at the scene when the crime occurred
