Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Chapter 461: Roll up your sleeves and get to work!

An hour later, the morning court ended.

Jiang Yueyang and Prince Yan went to the Supervisory Office together, but before they had taken two steps, Xie Beixiao caught up with them.

"Master Xiao Jiang."

Jiang Yueyang blinked in surprise, "General Xie, what do you want to call me for?"

"Last time I saw Master Xiao Jiang and Young Master Ye, they were on good terms. I wonder..." Xie Beixiao was a little embarrassed, "I wonder if Master Xiao Jiang could help to connect them so that I can have a competition with Young Master Ye?"

Jiang Yueyang refused without a second thought, "Sorry, I can't help you with this. He never likes to fight or compete with others. As his friend, I don't want to cause him more trouble."

"It's just a simple competition, stop when it's enough." Xie Beixiao didn't want to give up, his eyes were earnest.

Jiang Yueyang shook his head. "General Xie wants to compete with him, but he can only do it on his own. I can't help him."

Seeing her firm attitude, Xie Beixiao sighed and said nothing more.

"Then we'll leave first." Jiang Yueyang nodded at him politely and walked away.

After walking for a while, King Yan shook his head and laughed, "Xie Beixiao's attitude in asking for a competition is as persistent as asking to marry a girl."

"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Yueyang glared at him secretly. "General Xie is just young and hot-blooded. When he sees someone with strong martial arts skills, he wants to compete with him. He has no other intentions."

"I didn't mean anything else by that." King Yan smiled playfully, "Jiang Yueyang, you've got the wrong idea again."

Jiang Yueyang looked at him warningly, "Whether I have wrong thoughts or not, you must not say such things again."

"Yes, yes, yes." King Yan agreed with a smile in his eyes.

***

When Jiang Yueyang arrived at the Supervisory Office, he was about to say a few words to everyone in the Supervisory Office when people from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple came in with a pile of files.

Jiang Yueyang looked at the table that originally only had pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and suddenly it was piled with files. She was unable to react for a moment.

Ke Ming smiled and spoke first, "These files I brought here are all cases that my Ministry of Justice has been unable to solve for the past two years. They have been handed over to the Supervisory Department today. I hope the Supervisory Department will find the murderer as soon as possible."

Before Jiang Yueyang could say anything, Cui Yuan smiled and said, "Master Jiang, I have brought you the major cases from the Dali Temple in the past three years, including several strange unsolved cases. I'll be in trouble with you from the Supervisory Department."

Jiang Yueyang: "..."

For a moment, she wanted to take back what she said in the morning court.

But then she thought again, she established the Supervisory Office to redress the injustices in the world, so how could she back down at the very beginning!

It’s just an old case, just roll up your sleeves and get to work!

Jiang Yueyang looked at Bai Ze and the others and instructed, "Go through these cases and classify them according to their difficulty, starting with the simplest ones."

Bai Ze and others took the order and quickly began to organize the files.

Prince Yan was very interested in the investigation and picked up a file to carefully study and analyze it.

Seeing this, Cui Yuan said that he had something else to do in the Dali Temple and left first.

Ke Ming and Jiang Yueyang gestured to each other to let him talk for a moment, and then they walked aside.

"Master Xiao Jiang, I came here today not only to hand over the files, but also to discuss Shen Zhiyi's case with you."

Jiang Yueyang nodded, "Well, go ahead."

"We wanted to give an explanation to the family of the deceased, but Shen Zhiyi was a stubborn person. No matter what we asked, she refused to answer.

There are so many people with the same name that we still haven't been able to confirm the identities of all the deceased." Ke Ming was very distressed.

Jiang Yueyang asked: "Is it necessary to inform the family?"

"According to the rules, the family should be informed, as a sign of respect for the deceased. However, this case is special, so it is not necessary to inform the family."

"Then don't tell the family!" Jiang Yueyang said bluntly, "Shen Zhiyi's crimes can be traced back to three years ago, or even longer.

So much time has passed, and the families of the deceased may have moved on. If we bring it up again now, we may cause them to experience the pain of losing their loved ones again.

Moreover, the deceased died in that manner. It would be difficult for the deceased's relatives to accept it."

Ke Mingruo felt that what she said made sense, but he was also worried that some of the families of the deceased would never be able to let go.

Jiang Yueyang knew what he was thinking at a glance, and continued, "However, the identity of the deceased still needs to be investigated. Whether to inform the family or not depends on the circumstances.

As for how to confirm the deceased's identity, you can start with Shopkeeper Shen. I think he has a remorseful heart."

Ke Ming shook his head and sighed, "We've already asked Shopkeeper Shen, but he doesn't know the identities of some of the deceased."

"Let him go and persuade Shen Zhiyi to speak!" Jiang Yueyang remembered that Shen Zhiyi did not forget to take her father with her when she escaped yesterday, which showed that she was a filial son.

She said, "Shen Zhiyi is filial to Shopkeeper Shen. If Shopkeeper Shen persuades her, perhaps she will be willing to cooperate."

Ke Ming's eyes lit up, "I'll go back right away."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Just as he reached the door, he heard the sound of drumming outside. Someone was striking the drum of the Supervisory Office.
