【One hundred and eighty-nine】Three split the spoils

The girls continued to walk forward, but the atmosphere dropped to freezing point. Jiang Chengjia leaned on the seat wheel with a weak aura, and his face became pale. Pedestrians on the road looked at them sideways and whispered. In the capital, there were almost no such rich girl sitting on the wooden wheel that would stroll in the noisy East City.

Therefore, everyone cast strange and strange eyes at Jiang Chengjia. Three or two, four or five people formed a small circle and whispered.

"Which girl is this?"

"I don't know... Looking at the fox fur and coat she is wearing, it's expensive. How could she come to such a noisy place in Dongcheng City?"

"Look at her, her face is as sick as white as paper, and she is dying. I wonder if she is about to return to heaven. Therefore, her family took her out for some breath, hoping to return to the scene?"

"Who knows? She is really sick. Let's go away, if the disease is contagious, it will be bad."

"Shh! Speak quietly! Are you afraid that others will not hear it? Look at the girl pushing the sick girl is staring at us!"

A group of pedestrians were muttering something. Before they could understand, they felt a chill coming from behind. They trembled and turned to look. The girl standing behind the wooden wheel was staring at her fiercely, with an unhappy face.

So, the crowd gathered on the street immediately dispersed and hurried forward, away from the two girls walking in the middle of the road. Jiang Chengjia was in a bad mood. Seeing strange gazes coming from the vast crowd, she immediately became irritable and closed her eyes in depressed mood. The two of them walked forward slowly, and the news soon spread in the East City.

The secret spy who was following Jiang Chengjia was surveillance and saw this scene, and immediately turned around and ran towards the Hou Mansion and the Huai Prince's Mansion.

At that time, Jiang Chengyi happened to be dealing with matters in the East City and was discussing with Dou Yuelan to an important place. He heard Xue Si shouting outside and rushed in in a hurry: "Lord! Lord! Yun Jingjun!"

The boy ran and sweated heavily, and the two men in the hall showed a look of surprise. Dou Yuelan held his eyes and stared silently at Xue Si who was breaking in without saying a word. Jiang Chengyi caught a glimpse of his expression in the light of the light, and then scolded Xue Si in a low voice, "What's the matter like rushing in in such an unruly manner? What's the big deal? You're so reckless? Didn't you see Lord Dou still here?"

Xue Si stopped and looked at Dou Yuelan with some embarrassment, clasped his fists awkwardly and said, "Mr. Dou... the villain has been rashly and presumptuous, and I hope he will atone for his sins."

Dou Yuelan calmed down his calm face and said lightly: "Not id. Brother Jiang, he might have rushed in like this because of something urgent. Please ask first?"

Jiang Chengyi then looked at Xue Si: "After saying that, what's the important thing?"

Xue Si stammered: "Girl, girl she...is in the East City at this moment."

Jiang Chengyi paused, but there was no panic. Instead, he said calmly: "Is this worthy of your panic?"

Xue Si was stunned, unable to understand his reaction for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "But lord, didn't you say... Are there hidden crises in Dongshi now? The girl is weak, what if something dangerous happens to happen..."

Jiang Chengyi picked up the teacup on the desk and took a sip and said slowly: "I know these in my heart. Your girl naturally knows them..."

Xue Si looked frowning, and always felt a little uneasy in his heart: "But... Now, lord, you and all the ministers are concentrating your firepower to attack the Ming King and Changshan Marquis. It will inevitably arouse the resentment of the Regent Ning Zheng. The girl appears at this time, wouldn't she give them a room to seek revenge?"

Hearing this, Dou Yuelan also felt that things were a little tricky, his expression was cold and said seriously: "Xue Si's words make sense. Now the Regent's House holds a grudge against you because of the situation in the court, and is eyeing you. Ling Mei suddenly appears in the East City. It is difficult for him to guarantee that the King of Huai will not vent his personal hatred, and he will secretly find his way to hurt Ling Mei."

Jiang Chengyi: "The East City is indeed full of crisis. The spies from the Regent Huai Palace are always staring at your actions and Brother Dou, trying to find our handle. However, they will not commit crimes here so blatantly. Besides, my sister chose to go out at this time... for another purpose."

He said calmly, as if he didn't care about Jiang Chengjia's situation.

Dou Yuelan felt that he was too calm and always felt something was wrong, so she asked: "Brother Jiang and Ling Mei... are there any other arrangements?"

Jiang Chengyi curled his lips and smiled, but avoided talking: "Anyway... my sister appears in the East City, and there is no need for you and me to worry. Brother Dou, let's not delay the serious business for this. Now, the case of the Deng clan has come to an end, but the other aristocratic tribes who are in love with it have not yet been found out, and the danger is still lurking in the court. You and I should all be prepared to deal with it face to face."

Seeing that he was calm, Dou Yuelan felt a little calmer, and the tension in his heart decreased slightly. Xue Si, who was beside him, did not dare to say more, and stood by his head down and silently.

"Okay. Since Brother Jiang has expected it to be fine... I'll feel at ease. In the past few months, I have found a large number of clues and evidence when I thoroughly investigate Deng's crimes. I will definitely not let these evil thieves escape the disaster."

Jiang Chengyi bent his mouth and nodded gently, "Brother Dou has been running the Tingwei Mansion for many years, with sharp means and strong insight, so he will never let these people go. But... Deng's family has been in the court for many years, with deep power and wide connections. Some relationships are hidden and difficult to see. I'm afraid Brother Dou will not find them even if he digs three feet into the ground. Therefore, Jiang specially brought news today."

"What is it?" Dou Yuelan said curiously.

Jiang Chengyi glanced at Xue Si and signaled that he would present the case documents prepared in advance. When Xue Si received his gesture of eyes, he immediately took out a volume of Wen Zong from his sleeve, bent over, walked to Dou Yuelan, and handed over.

Dou Yuelan took the Wenzong with a puzzled look, read it openly, and said in shock: "Deng Guozhong colluded with officials from the Shaofu treasury to collect national wealth, arbitrarily changed the tax on mountains and lakes, forcing the good people to pay gold and jewelry, and plunder everywhere. Fu Bo actually participated in all kinds of evil deeds?!"

He was furious and slapped the table, pinched the paper in his hand, his face flushed, and said angrily: "These so-called veterans and important officials are simply borers of the Great Wei Dynasty! So greedy and so unscrupulous! How can you be the parents of the people for food and clothing?!"

Jiang Chengyi noticed his reaction and comforted softly: "Brother Dou, don't be anxious to be upset first, and then read it down."

Dou Yuelan glanced at him, her face was cold and white and blue. She gritted her teeth and lowered her head and continued to look down. Unexpectedly, she became more and more frightened as she looked. He said panickedly: "The Regent... is it actually involved? The Regent and Deng Guozhong... aren't they mortal enemies?"

He was shocked and shocked: "Deng has been assisting His Majesty for many years... and he still has private access to the Regent?"

Jiang Chengyi said calmly: "It's not just Deng's family, but Fu's family. Although these three parties have always been disagreeing on the surface, they have colluded with each other in private and disciplinary stolen goods."

Dou Yuelan said in disbelief: "Then, Deng and Fu have been in a position to support His Majesty over the years... Is it a temporary solution, just to continue such a dirty deal without hiding it?"

Jiang Chengyi shook his head and said, "The Deng family and Fu family's desire to support Your Majesty is not false. Over the years, Deng Guozhong and Fu Bo have indeed been committed to supporting the orthodox, opposing the Regent's interference in politics, and everything they do is to follow. There is no doubt about this. However, the dispute between the two parties does not hinder their subordinates from secretly cooperating and seeking huge profits together. The benefits obtained can be used in the party struggle. After the division of the spoils, they each gained a place in the court based on their abilities, and there was no conflict."

Dou Yuelan was furious and angry. He felt that he had taken a look at it over the years and actually felt that the two elders of the court were loyal: "It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous! In this way, how can you talk about loyalty? They are obviously too selfish! Deng Guozhong and Fu Bo clearly did not surrender to the regent. Only at his mercy would he choose the weak-powered Majesty!"

Dou Yuelan remembered that Emperor Wei had ordered him to secretly investigate a book about the books about Fu and Ma recruiting soldiers and horses, and became more and more terrified. Fu Bo was so bold that he would do such a rebellious thing, which would definitely be a disaster for the Great Wei in the future. He needed to speed up, check the books, find evidence, finalize Fu Bo's crimes, and report them to the Emperor Wei.

He made up his mind secretly, and all his thoughts were concentrated on this matter, not paying attention to the movements of the husband beside him.

Jiang Chengyi sipped the tea quietly, thinking in his heart, and a relaxed look emerged from his eyebrows. He knew very well that the book he had handed to Emperor Wei was now in Dou Yuelan's hands. He secretly visited families of various races, overcome all difficulties, eliminate future troubles, and find more specific evidence to prove Fu Bo's great rebelliousness and judge it.

This time, he told Dou Yuelan about Deng's private collusion with Fu's family and King Huai to Dou Yuelan, which would make this person even more disgusted with Fu's family and speed up his investigation. As long as Fu's family is convicted, his plan to weaken the power of the aristocratic family, recover the local area, and change the order can be carried out smoothly. In this way, he can make sufficient preparations for Ning Wuheng to ascend the throne and take power.

Dou Yuelan was angry and relieved his mood a little, and turned to Jiang Chengyi and said, "Today, thank you Brother Jiang for providing this item. I will definitely report it to Your Majesty truthfully. Fu will not be able to escape the blame."

Jiang Chengyi smiled at him and said, "Brother Dou, don't thank you. This is the duty of a minister. You and I both hope that the Great Wei can calm down internal troubles as soon as possible, reopen the prosperous era of peace, and nourish thousands of people."

Dou Yuelan nodded, then bowed to him and said, "It's getting late... Brother Jiang, I still have to go back to the house to investigate this matter carefully, so I won't be here to accompany you. The court has been in turmoil recently, so Brother Jiang must be cautious and don't take it lightly."

After the man obtained the file, he was anxious to return to Tingwei Mansion to review it. He was already in the East City without any thoughts and showed his anxiety.
