Chapter 873: Chapter 228: Chen 94? Can He Do It?_6

”However, the Darugachi Mansion is a critical domain of the court, you can’t just wander around, understand?”

The Black Armor Cavalry were extremely arrogant, and Chen Jie heard them, bowed with cupped hands and said, ”Yes, I understand.”

”Go inside.”

With that, Chen Jie followed Wang Canjun inside.

As they walked, Wang Canjun said, ”These are all proud warriors transferred from the White Deer Army by Lord Darugachi; we can’t escape their difficulties in our daily lives.”

Chen Jie heard this and cupped his hands towards Wang Canjun, saying, ”May I know your esteemed name?”

”Oh, Brother Chen, no need for formalities. I’m Wang Wenyuan, a Sixth-Rank Record Officer under the Magistrate.”

Chen Jie said, ”Chen Jiusi, Standard Seventh Rank Hundred Households.”

Wang Canjun: ”Haha, Brother Chen is someone close to the Commandery Princess, unlike us petty officials. You don’t need to mention your rank.”

Chen Jie said, ”Rank aside, Brother Wang has helped me out of a difficulty this time, and I have yet to thank you.”

Wang Wenyuan said, ”Brother Chen doesn’t need to stand on ceremony. My coming is mainly because our Lord Magistrate wants to make connections with the Commandery Princess, hence befriending you.”

Chen Jie looked at Wang Wenyuan and said, ”Brother Wang, is such calculation something that can be openly talked about?”

Wang Wenyuan said, ”Haha, any observant person knows, why deceive oneself, only showing true candor.”

Chen Jie heard this and looked at Wang Wenyuan, saying, ”Hahaha, Brother Wang, you are indeed a wonderful person.”

Saying this, the two had already entered the mansion and saw that the opulence here was not comparable to the Yelu Mansion in Mianshui County.

Soon, they arrived at a large courtyard, where a group of people was singing and dancing, performing a traditional Mulan dance.

In the center was an iron rack, with charcoal beneath, and a whole sheep tied to the rack; and a chef was there turning the spit.

Chen Jiusi arrived and saw Zhao Ya and Wang Baobao sitting in the main seats, eating roast lamb and singing.

Chen Jie arrived, Zhao Ya nodded gently, Wang Baobao saw Zhao Ya nodding, turned his head and saw Chen Jie, his expression became unpleasant, but he said nothing, always feeling that his sister’s advisor was not to be trusted.

While thinking, Chen Jie was led to a separate seat at the outermost part of the banquet.

Wang Wenyuan’s seat was originally very close to the front, beside the Magistrate. However, seeing Chen Jie sitting alone, he sat beside him, saying, ”I’ll accompany Brother Chen for a few drinks.”

Chen Jie heard and said, ”Haha, no need for such, I’m not that fragile.”

Wang Wenyuan said, ”Such a kindred spirit, come, drink.”

Seeing Wang Wenyuan was sincere, Chen Jie did not refuse and drank with him.

The two did not know how many cups they drank. Wang Wenyuan staggered up and said, ”Jiusi, I need to use the restroom, wait for me to come back and we’ll drink three hundred cups.”

Saying this, Wang Wenyuan directly walked towards the rear courtyard, and this lasted for two full engraving moments, Chen Jie felt something was wrong, why did going to the restroom take so long, perhaps he fell into the toilet?

Chen Jie was in deep thought.

Suddenly, there was a scream: ”Ah! Someone’s dead!”

At the word ’dead’, the singing and dancing in the scene immediately stopped, and everyone was shocked, looking at everything on scene, what’s going on?

At this moment, there was a hurried sound of footsteps, and a person who looked like a steward ran over and said, ”Master, someone died in our toilet.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie suddenly felt uneasy, the toilet, could it be Wang Wenyuan?

Chen Jie had a good impression of Wang Wenyuan, thinking, he saw Lord Magistrate Chu Tian stand up and said, ”Who, quickly, go check.”

Hearing this, a group of people rushed directly to the toilet.

Then Chen Jie saw Wang Wenyuan lying face up on the ground, pants not even worn, and saw a quick sword mark across his neck.

A swift blade to the throat; a master swordsman indeed.

Thinking like this, everyone stepped forward to examine carefully, suddenly someone pointed at the wall and said, ”Look at the wall!”

Instantly, everyone saw the pattern on the wall: it was a blooming plum blossom!

”Ah, hidden plum, it’s the Mei Hua Killer!”

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked, eyes widened, Mei Hua Killer.

In the next moment, everyone’s face turned extremely unpleasant, Wang Baobao clenched his fists.

Zhao Ya did not understand who the Mei Hua Killer was, so she looked at Wang Baobao and said, ”Third Brother, who is the Mei Hua Killer?”

Wang Baobao said, ”I don’t know, the Mei Hua Killer emerged half a year ago, specializing in assassinating my Imperial Officials, in the past half year, seven officials have died by his hand.”

”Yet today, no one has solved the case, caught the killer.”

Zhao Ya said, ”What is the local Assistant Magistrate doing, can’t they even catch an assassin?”

Assistant Magistrate Wulu Tai heard this, frowned immediately, just wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Wang Baobao: ”Enough.”

Wulu Tai remained silent, at this moment Zhao Ya said, ”Brother, this Mei Hua Killer is too arrogant, we must catch him for the court!”

Wang Baobao said, ”I also want to catch him, but simply can’t catch him.”

Hearing Wang Baobao’s words, at this moment Chu Tian showed a face full of sorrow and said, ”Lord Darugachi, this Wang Wenyuan was my most valued person, I beg you to take the lead, catch this damned Mei Hua Killer!”

Wang Baobao was stunned and said, ”Wulu Tai, how many days will your Assistant Magistrate’s Office need to solve the case?”

Wulu Tai said, ”Lord, this Mei Hua assassination case, seven murders have gone unsolved, to solve this case, it might take at least half a year.”

”Half a year? Haha, after half a year what do I want with your Assistant Magistrate’s Office, Third Brother, assign this case to my subordinate Hundred Households Chen, it will surely be solved in a month.”

”Him? Can he?”

Upon hearing Zhao Ya’s words, Wang Baobao looked at Chen Jie full of doubt.
