Jiang Yuancheng was a cruel man, he would arrest people immediately and behead all those who abducted, sold, and sold people as a warning to others.
The effect is very good, after all, no one wants to kill themselves just to have a wife.
But at that time, the number of victims was much smaller than now.
What they are about to face now is that there are hundreds of thousands of victims. Not only are there not enough food, there are still people among the victims who are causing trouble.
It can be said to be internal and external troubles.
It was late at night, Wen Qingzhu yawned and looked out the window.
At this time, Jing Yinuo should have replied to the letter. The letter will arrive the day after tomorrow at the earliest.
I hope he didn't get involved with Jiang Yuancheng, otherwise, with Prince Ning in front of him and Jiang Yuancheng and Jing Yinuo in the back, Jiang Yuanhan would be in a very bad situation.
In the early morning of the next day, Wen Qingzhu was awakened by Xi'er's furious voice.
She sat up, opened her eyes and looked outside. Lu Tao opened the curtain and came in.
"Miss, I'm sorry for disturbing you."
Wen Qingzhu yawned and sat up: "What's wrong with Xi'er? Why are they arguing so loudly? Did she meet Beidou?"
"That's not..." Lu Tao hesitated, as if he had something to hide.
At this time, Wen Qingzhu suddenly woke up.
He stood up and walked to the window, opening it a crack.
Seeing Xi'er holding a sword at the door of the courtyard, pointing at Jin Yuanbao's neck.
"Why is it him?"
Wen Qingzhu closed the window, thought for a while, and asked Lu Tao to wash her up.
In less than a cup of tea, Wen Qingzhu walked out with Green Tao.
When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they discovered that not only Jin Yuanbao was coming, but also other people from Yushitai.
After scanning them all, Wen Qingzhu laughed.
It seemed that it was a matter in the capital that finally involved her side.
After letting them sit down in the small hall, Jin Yuanbao and others saluted Wen Qingzhu and said hello.
Wen Qingzhu waved his hand: "Master Jin, you're welcome. What's the matter?"
"Madam, the night before Long Dai and King Runan were executed, did you really lock up the entire Cangzhou City and poison it?" Jin Yuanbao's expression was very serious, and he stared at her meticulously.
"What? Didn't this matter get reported? Under normal circumstances, it should have been clearly written."
Jin Yuanbao's breathing was a little rapid, his cheeks were red, and he looked a little angry: "Mrs. Ping Guohou! Do you know that those are the lives of one hundred thousand Qi people!"
Wen Qingzhu smiled faintly and said: "Master Jin, I have to correct you. Those are not 100,000 Daqi people, but 40,000 Daqi people, 10,000 traitors, and 50,000 Wu clan members."
"You-" Jin Yuanbao never thought that all this was true!
"How?" Wen Qingzhu raised his chin slightly and looked down at him with contempt in his eyes.
It took Jin Yuanbao a long time to stabilize his emotions, turned around, opened the box of the person behind him, and took out an imperial edict.
"Wen Qingzhu accepts the order."
He was about to speak, but found that Wen Qingzhu was as steady as a rock and did not move at all.
"Madam! Are you going to resist the decree?" Jin Yuanbao turned blue with anger. He didn't expect that Wen Qingzhu would become so vicious that he didn't care about the people even after he made a trip to Cangzhou!
Wen Qingzhu finally moved. She walked down, but did not kneel down.
Instead, he walked up to Jin Yuanbao, grabbed the imperial edict in his hand, stared at him and asked: "May I ask Master Jin, do you know that it is the emperor's will to eradicate the Wu clan? You rushed over to arrest me in such a hurry, Here…”
She lowered her head and looked at the yellow scroll in her hand, and tugged at the corner of her lips: "Is it really the seal sealed by the emperor himself?"
"You dare to question the emperor?" Jin Yuanbao calmed down at this time.
Wen Qingzhu let go of his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need to guess. I am afraid that King Ning sent someone to deliver this imperial edict to your Yushitai. If the emperor really wants to arrest me, he will use people from your Yushitai to arrest me." me?"
These words suddenly reminded Jin Yuanbao of Lei Xiao's words.
Before leaving, Lei Xiao specifically told her: "You can't do anything to Mrs. Fu. Once the imperial edict is over, you must let her know first."
After coming back to his senses, Jin Yuanbao still couldn't believe that Wen Qingzhu actually poisoned him.
That's tens of thousands of lives, lost overnight.
"Master Jin, please open the imperial edict and take a look. What is written in it?"
Wen Qingzhu turned around and sat down again.
While drinking tea, he looked at Jin Yuanbao quietly.
Just when he was about to open the imperial edict, Jiang Yuanhan hurried over.
Everyone in the room saluted.
"No gift!"
Jiang Yuanhan walked to the seat next to Wen Qingzhu and sat down, looking at Jin Yuanbao: "If I hadn't seen Master Jin holding the imperial edict in his hand, otherwise I would have thought that Master Jin was not here to announce the edict, but to arrest the prisoner!"
"Prince Rui, I am just doing things according to your orders." Jin Yuanbao had no selfish motives or fear in his heart.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Yuanhan sneered: "If I remember correctly, Yushitai is only responsible for admonishment, and there are other people to investigate and handle cases. Why, now Yushitai can also investigate and handle cases? This investigation can be done She is the wife of Marquis Ping Guo who has just made great achievements! Do you know that what you, the Censor, do, are trespassing?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Rui! The humble ministers are naturally following the orders of His Majesty!" Jin Yuanbao held his head high and showed no fear of Jiang Yuanhan's power.
"Well, Eunuch Fang personally gave this edict to you?" Jiang Yuanhan asked directly with a gloomy face.
Jin Yuanbao was startled, it was Lord Lei who gave it to him.
It took him a long time before he answered: "No, Mr. Lei gave it to me."
"Then who gave it to Master Lei? Eunuch Fang? The Emperor? Or Prince Ning?"
At the end, Jiang Yuanhan's tone was unceremonious: "While my father is still here, you go beyond my father's command and issue an imperial edict. Do you know what your crime is?"
As a member of Yushitai, he is naturally familiar with the laws and regulations of Daqi.
Immediately, cold sweat broke out from behind.
He looked down and realized something was strange.
If it is a reward, I will definitely bring something as a reward.
If we are arresting people, we will also bring people from the yamen without the imperial guards.
The people coming now are all people from their Yushitai.
Didn't this imperial edict come from the emperor
Then why did Mr. Lei say this
Seeing the confusion on Jin Yuanbao's face, Jiang Yuanhan persuaded him: "I suggest that Mr. Jin should return to the capital and bypass Prince Ning to meet his father. Some things may not be what Mr. Jin imagined."
"Master Jin, let's go back." There was an old man with an eighth-grade official behind him. He finally stopped being silent and reminded Jin Yuanbao.
He turned around blankly and looked at the imperial edict in his hand. Who dares to make fun of the imperial edict
Wen Qingzhu finally put down the tea cup and helped the old man explain: "Master Jin, this must be your first time announcing an edict, right? The feel and weight of the edict are not what you feel now."
After concentrating for a moment, Wen Qingzhu said again: "By the way! There is a kind of royal brocade book that is very similar to the imperial edict. Normally it would not be rolled like this because it is bright yellow and can easily be confused with the imperial edict, so it is usually stacked in a box. , there are some royal matters that Mr. Jin should investigate carefully. After the imperial decree is issued, who dares to disobey it, eh?"
"Thank you, Madam, for your advice. I'm very grateful. I'm here to thank Madam on behalf of Mr. Lei." The old man stepped forward and bowed seriously.
Wen Qingzhu didn't care, smiled and said, "You're welcome, you came here for me. You, Mr. Lei, have worked really hard."
"Thank you madam for your understanding." The old man thanked her again.
Thinking of the Lei family, Wen Qingzhu suddenly asked: "When will Princess Ning give birth?"
"Around mid-April."
Wen Qingzhu sighed: "April is a good day."
At that time, the winner between Jiang Yuanhan and Prince Ning will come out.
I hope Yuanhan can handle the affairs of the victims as soon as possible.
The people at Yushitai left. Jin Yuanbao wanted to see Xi'er, but when he turned around, he couldn't find anyone.
He originally wanted to ask Wen Qingzhu.
But when he thought about how many people she had killed, he couldn't speak.
While hesitating, his colleague called him, and Jin Yuanbao turned around and left.
Watching them getting further and further away, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but sigh: "Jin Yuanbao is also growing up slowly. If it were before, he would have to find Xi'er no matter what."
"With Master Lei here, it will be difficult for him not to grow up." When Jiang Yuanhan talked about Jin Yuanbao, his emotions were particularly complicated.
A person like him is extremely pure, and it can be said that he is naturally prepared for the Yushitai.
He is the perfect candidate to be a pure minister. Lei Xiao asked him to come here this time, presumably because he knew that nothing major would happen, and at the same time, he could exercise his political awareness.
"Yuanhan, why are you here?" Wen Qingzhu turned around and found that Jiang Yuanhan smelled of aged brown rice.
I always came here from the granary.
He came back with a smile: "Of course I noticed that Prince Ning was acting strangely, and I was worried that my sister wouldn't be able to cope with it."
"I can still handle this little thing. Tell me, do you have anything else to tell me?" Wen Qingzhu lowered his head and reached for the tea cup.
When I first touched the teacup, I heard Jiang Yuanhan say: "Uncle Yang was taken away by people from the Shenxing Division."
Her hand paused and was taken away by the people from the Criminal Punishment Department
Slowly, a faint smile appeared on Wen Qingzhu's face.
"Sister, aren't you worried?" Jiang Yuanhan wondered, could it be that Hei Jiren was on his sister's side.
Wen Qingzhu took a slight sip of tea, and his stomach growled inappropriately.
Before she could speak, Jiang Yuanhan looked at her belly and was slightly stunned: "Sister, are you hungry? Or haven't you eaten breakfast?"
"No need for breakfast." Wen Qingzhu put down the teacup.
Just as he was about to ask Lu Tao to bring some food, he saw Jiang Yuanhan take out an oil paper bag from his sleeve.
After opening it, there were two hot pan-fried buns inside.
He pushed the bun in front of Wen Qingzhu: "Sister, eat it first, I'll leave first."
Before Wen Qingzhu could reply, Jiang Yuanhan stood up and left.
Looking at the fried buns on the table, it seems that they were just bought.
Dealing with hundreds of thousands of disaster victims is not that simple.
He was also under a lot of pressure.
I don’t think I eat greasy Wen Qingzhu very much, so I tried it this time and it felt pretty good.
But she looked at the tea cup on the table, maybe because she drank some tea in advance.
After she finished eating, Wen Qingzhu remembered that Jiang Yuanhan came over and he probably had something to say to her.
What is going on
She probably knows how to deal with disaster victims.
Could it be that this time is a matter of the capital
Soon it was noon, and Lu Tao came directly with lunch.
One meat, one vegetable and one soup, a simple dish without too much variety.
Just as I picked up the chopsticks, Xi'er led someone over from outside.
"Qingzhu."
Wen Qingzhu let out a long sigh and stopped moving his hands: "You really came one by one."
Turning around, he saw Jiang Dejia in plain clothes standing in front of him.
She could only stand up and raise her hand to invite Jiang Dejia to sit down.
"Are you hungry, princess? Why don't we share some together? They are just side dishes. Don't look down on the princess."
Wen Qingzhu told Xi'er to add bowls and chopsticks while he picked up the dishes with his own chopsticks.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Dejia said angrily: "Wen Qingzhu! Do you really not care about Fu Lie at all?"
Hearing this question, Wen Qingzhu smiled self-deprecatingly, raised his eyebrows, and said with deep eyes: "Then princess, how should I care about him? If I tell you that when the Yang family's affairs are over, I plan to reconcile with him, What are your thoughts now?"
