Chapter 384: The Qing Dynasty
After reading this period of history, every bloody Yanxia person will inevitably be filled with anger.
So when the instigator Li Zhe appeared in front of him, Jiang Chen couldn't help but become murderous, and he was murderous at all costs.
So he raised his hand and pointed, and directly ordered in a cold voice: "Come here, capture this rebellious traitor who is colluding with Han Hu, the leader of the underground Beggar Gang!"
"Ah? What? What did you say?
I am a disciple of the Kong family, how could I collude with Han Hu?"
Li Zhe was frightened.
"stop!"
Li Ye's clan brother Li Ye and several officials immediately rushed to stop him and shouted angrily: "Jiang Chen, are you going to spit out blood and frame Zhongliang?"
"That's right, what evidence do you have?"
The other officials and imperial students also glared at Jiang Chen angrily.
"evidence?"
Jiang Chen had a sneer on his face and said loudly: "Do you still remember the man who stabbed me with a knife in the Royal Forest Garden a few days ago? Do you know who he is?"
"Well? You wouldn't say that person is Han Hu, right?"
Li Ye and everyone else looked in disbelief.
"Yes! It's him!"
Jiang Chen nodded affirmatively and looked at Cui Yi, Chen Song and other imperial students who participated in the assassination with a playful look.
After Han Hu was captured and brought back to Yuqing Villa, the security captain Jiang Lang did not interrogate him directly. Instead, he was locked in a dark room for two days and given a lesson in philosophy.
How could Han Hu, the dignified underground emperor, bear this? He was completely depressed. In order to die early and be reincarnated early, he directly revealed his identity as the leader of the Beggar Clan.
At first, Jiang Lang and Jiang Chen didn't believe it, thinking that this guy was insane.
But as Han Hu revealed more secrets, as well as several secret dens and the astonishing wealth inside, Jiang Lang and Jiang Chen had no choice but to believe it.
The reason why he did not report it to Song Huizong was that this kind of credit no longer meant anything to him. It would be more useful to keep the Korean tiger in hand to bite people at critical moments.
Secondly, Han Hu had too much money. He wanted to transport it out of Bianjing first to Haizhou and Luzon Island to prevent things from going smoothly and being robbed by Jin people or corrupt officials.
…
"The pig-killer is actually Han Hu?"
"How is this possible?"
Cui Yi, Chen Song and other imperial students involved in the assassination were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
"You don't have to worry!
Han Hu has already confessed that he and you just met by chance and are not accomplices!
I have no intention of holding you accountable. After all, you are embarrassing me out of respect for your teacher and your methods are fair and aboveboard. This is worthy of recognition!"
Jiang Chen spoke very generously to comfort him, and then his tone suddenly changed:
"However, you are incited by others to wantonly slander the reputation of married women without examining the truth. Who taught you this?"
Uh--
Chen Song, Han Zizhi and the other students felt guilty and embarrassed. After looking at each other, they cupped their hands and said to Jiang Chen, "I will ask Mr. Jiang for an explanation another day about the matter of Duke Yan!"
After that, the college students immediately retreated, as they did not want to get involved in Han Hu's matter.
The other officials were even more afraid and immediately jumped out like rabbits.
In just a few breaths, Li Ye was the only one left beside Li Zhe.
Li Ye also wanted to avoid it, but he didn't dare to be too obvious, so he cautiously said to Jiang Chen: "Master Jiang, is there any misunderstanding here? My cousin..."
"Is it a misunderstanding? I'll find out after the confrontation! Why don't you go there too and see if Han Hu has seen the adults?"
Jiang Chen asked with a smile on his face.
"No, no need!"
Li Ye was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He hurriedly stepped aside and comforted Li Zhe: "Don't worry, cousin. As the saying goes, those who are clean will be cleansed themselves. I will go back to report the news right away!"
After that, Li Ye ran away directly.
"snort!"
Jiang Chen looked disdainful and waved his hand, "Take it away!"
"I'm wronged. I want to meet with the official! Jiang Chen, what right do you have to arrest an official of the imperial court?"
Li Zhe screamed in fear and struggled desperately.
"The official has an order, and I have the right to arrest and interrogate anyone involved in Lao Ganzi's case!"
While Jiang Chen was speaking, he raised his hands to Song Huizong, who was hiding in the palace gate and watching the excitement, and showed an inquiring look in his eyes.
Song Huizong didn't care whether Li Zie was wronged or not. Seeing Jiang Chen resolve a palace incident so easily, he just smiled and nodded.
His nod was tantamount to directly pronouncing Li Zhe's death sentence, because Han Hu was willing to agree to anything in order not to continue being locked up in the dark room and take a few sips of Immortal Drunk.
As a result, under Jiang Chen's operation, not only was Li Zhe convicted of treason that day, his wife was exiled, his family property was confiscated, and his wife and daughter were assigned to the Jiaofang Bureau;
Even Zhao Youkai and Ma Zheng, two diehard loyalists of Kong Duanyou in the Ministry of Rites, were implicated and were dismissed from their official positions.
However, Zhao Youkai and Ma Zheng were not Jiang Chen's writings, but Song Huizong's instructions. This was the dog emperor's punishment for Kong Duanyou for inciting Confucian students to cause trouble.
Kong Duanyou and Kong Duancao, who had their faces covered with horse dung and egg white, were so aggrieved that they almost spit out blood.
However, Jiang Chen was in a very good mood after getting rid of Li Zhe, the eternal sinner.
Humming a little tune, we arrived at Li Qingzhao's residence.
…
In addition to being a good drinker, composing lyrics, and playing polo, Li Qingzhao also liked growing flowers.
In this bleak autumn season, the chrysanthemums in her courtyard are in full bloom.
When Jiang Chen was led into the inner courtyard by the maid, she was drinking, composing poems and admiring chrysanthemums in the pavilion under the sunset with Liu Mingjie, Zhu Lian and Zhu Fengying.
"The small building is cold, the sunset is thin and the curtain is low. Hate is rustling, the ruthless wind and rain are rubbing the beautiful skin. It is not the same as the drunken concubine's face, nor is it the same as Sun Shou's frown... The favor is good, why should we remember it more, Dongli beside the river
.”
"Good! What a Duoli Ci (Duoli is the name of the Ci brand, also known as Duck Head Green)!
Bai Juxue is pure and thin, which perfectly complements Sister Qingzhao's aloof and noble character!"
Jiang Chen praised him loudly and walked towards the pavilion without hesitation.
"snort!"
Liu Mingjie gave Jiang Chen a hard look and turned his head away without any intention of getting up to greet him.
"You've been rewarded for your good time!"
Li Qingzhao, Zhu Lian and Zhu Fengying stood up to greet him.
After being seated, Li Qingzhao smiled and said: "I expected you to come today early in the morning, and I specially prepared your favorite plum wine!"
As Li Qingzhao spoke, he directly filled up a glass for Jiang Chen.
"Oh? Why did Sister Qingzhao expect me to come today? Don't you think I should avoid suspicion? Remember, a gentleman should take precautions and avoid suspicion!"
Jiang Chen asked quite interestingly.
"What is pure will be pure by itself, and what is turbid will be turbid by itself. If it is not pure and turbid, why not do it?"
Li Qingzhao rolled his eyes at Jiang Chen and said nonchalantly: "You don't need to worry about me. I have no time to pay attention to those gossips, and I won't take them to heart."
"I'm worried about my brother-in-law, and I want to ask you if you need to write him a letter to clarify it?" Jiang Chen asked.
