Chapter 411 Xue Wenyan is imprisoned
"What!?"
When everyone in the room heard this, they were all shocked!
Especially Xue Wenyan!
Because he was the one who stole the grain from the warehouse!
"Tell me quickly! Where is the lost grain storehouse?!"
Imperial envoy Li asked hurriedly!
Although he had known for a long time that this time the target was Xue Wenyan!
But he didn't expect that things would happen so quickly!
"Your Honor!"
"We learned that there are many Holy Mother Church porridge stalls in the city, so we went to investigate!"
"As a result, we discovered that the grain was from the warehouse!"
"Then, we interrogated the remaining members of the Holy Mother Church and found out that the grain in the warehouse..."
"It's the Luzhou County Magistrate, Xue Wenyan!"
The bailiff said this respectfully.
As soon as he said this, Xue Wenyan felt hopeless!
At this time, Xue Wenyan had already realized that this imperial envoy was coming towards him!
Otherwise, it would never be like this!
It seems that he has been abandoned by many forces!
But why is this! ?
Could it be, just because of Jiang Chen! ?
Xue Wenyan was so angry that his whole body was shaking!
"Haha, Master Xue, you really did a lot of things in secret!"
"Robbing women, embezzling grain from the warehouse, and colluding with the Holy Mother Church!"
"You are unforgivable!"
"Someone is coming!"
"Suppress Xue Wenyan and lock him up!"
"Wait until they are escorted to the capital, and then we will execute them!"
"Yes!"
Following Lord Li's order, the bailiffs immediately came and took Xue Wenyan away!
At this time, Xue Wenyan had become like a frost-bitten eggplant, completely wilted.
Half a year.
Just half a year!
He was a county magistrate, and now he is a county chancellor!
And now he is a prisoner!
This...all these changes are happening too fast!
He simply can't accept it!
……
Soon, the news of Xue Wenyan's imprisonment reached Jiang Chen's ears!
When Jiang Chen heard the news, he was not as happy as he had imagined.
If possible, he absolutely didn't want to go to this point with Xue Wenyan!
But now, things have developed to this point...
"Oh, why bother..."
Jiang Chen sighed helplessly.
"Lord Jiang, there's no need to be like this. It's not your fault. You're just trying to protect yourself, aren't you?" Mu Qingqing came behind Jiang Chen, looked at his dejected look, and began to persuade him.
"Haha, Qingqing, I know what you mean, but...if it weren't for Xue Wenyan, I might not have reached this point so quickly. What a pity..."
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He is not a pedantic person.
The other person's knife was already at his neck, there was absolutely no way he would accept being killed!
"Have you made arrangements for Xue Linglong?"
Mu Qingqing looked at Jiang Chen and asked.
"I have sent people to the capital, nothing will happen to her." Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.
Jiang Chen still couldn't let go of Xue Linglong in his heart, and hoped that Xue Linglong would not be affected by this incident...!
"Well, get ready!"
"It won't be long before the imperial court's order arrives!"
"By then, you'll probably have to go to Jiangnan!"
After Mu Qingqing left this sentence, she turned and left.
But Jiang Chen felt mixed emotions as he watched Mu Qingqing leave.
"Jiangnan..."
I don’t know whether this trip to Jiangnan is a blessing or a curse!
And Mu Qingqing's guess was correct. At this moment in the capital, His Majesty the Emperor was having a headache looking at the memorial from Jiangnan!
The drought in Jiangnan is becoming increasingly serious.
As a land of fish and rice, the people in Jiangnan had never imagined that such a severe drought would occur!
……
Today, there are starving people everywhere in Jiangnan, and the people are suffering terribly!
There are also the Holy Mother Church and the remnants of the previous dynasty waiting for an opportunity to strike!
The most important thing is that his eighth uncle is also in Jiangnan!
In other places, he could accept the advice of Eunuch Zhang and send corrupt officials to deal with them.
But this Jiangnan...
"Report! Your Majesty, urgent news from the border!"
"The grasslands and Dakang have deployed troops on the border, and it seems that they are plotting something bad against Dajing!"
A messenger hurried into the imperial study and reported this extremely shocking news!
When Emperor Dajing heard the news, he was so shocked that he stood up from the dragon throne!
"You...what did you say!?"
"Dakang and the grasslands have all deployed troops on the border!?"
Emperor Dajing's face turned pale!
Why is it so difficult for an emperor like him to do this?
They had just defeated the grassland not long ago, and now Dajing is also experiencing a rare drought!
Now, Dakang and Caoyuan are causing trouble again! ?
These... these bastards, they don’t want Dajing to live!
"Someone! Summon Eunuch Zhang, Cai Jing, and General Zhou to the palace!"
"As you wish~!"
Following an order from Emperor Dajing, Eunuch Zhang and two other men quickly arrived at the imperial study!
"Your humble servant, I pay my respects to your majesty!"
When the three saw Emperor Dajing, they hurriedly saluted him!
"My three beloved ministers, please stand up!"
"I have asked you three to come here today because I have an important matter to discuss!"
Emperor Dajing spoke and talked about the affairs on the border and the south of the Yangtze River.
"this……!?"
Eunuch Zhang and the other two looked extremely shocked!
But in fact, the three of them already knew these things!
……
"My dear ministers, do you have any good ideas for this situation?"
Emperor Dajing was so nervous!
"Your Majesty, Dakang is easy to deal with. The border has been stable for many years, but... the grassland is hard to say!" General Zhou said helplessly.
"why?"
"Didn't we in Dajing just defeat the grassland and recapture three cities?!" The Emperor of Dajing looked puzzled.
In his opinion, Dakang should be difficult to deal with!
"Your Majesty, the grassland people were only strong in cavalry before. In the siege battle, they were no match for us Dajing!"
"But now the situation is different!"
"We in Dajing gave the blueprints of the trebuchet to Caoyuan!"
"This makes up for their shortcomings in siege!"
When General Zhou said this, he gnashed his teeth in anger!
The catapult can be said to be a siege weapon that is only seen once in a century!
Now that he has given it to the grassland, isn't that courting death?!
Thinking of this, General Zhou looked at Cai Jing with murderous eyes!
"General Zhou! What do you mean!?"
"Your Majesty has the final say on this matter!"
"Are you blaming His Majesty!?"
When Cai Jing saw General Zhou’s eyes, he roared angrily!
"I dare not do that. Your Majesty, please understand!" General Zhou bowed respectfully to His Majesty Dajing.
"enough!"
"What are you two arguing about? Now that things have come to this, what I want is a solution!"
"I'm not here to see you guys quarreling!"
Emperor Dajing roared angrily!
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, we can send envoys to negotiate with Dakang on the grassland, and perhaps we can avoid war!" Cai Jing said with a smile.
If this is a negotiation, then it must be their civil officials who go!
He can make a fortune again!
