Chapter 624 Trap?
After Jiang Chen arrived at the imperial study, he knelt on the ground with a serious face!
"Ok?"
When Emperor Dajing saw Jiang Chen like this, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
"Lord Jiang, what happened to you today?"
"Why are you still alienated from me?"
"If you have something to say, just tell me."
Emperor Dajing walked up to Jiang Chen and wanted to help him up.
However, Jiang Chen did not stand up, but took out the confession in his hand first.
"Your Majesty, please take a look at this first!"
"Huh? What is this?"
Emperor Dajing looked confused.
He took the confession and read it.
But the more Emperor Dajing read this confession, the angrier he became!
"That's unreasonable!"
"This Jinling County Magistrate, does he not want to live anymore?!"
"Lord Jiang! What do you think we should do about this matter?!"
Emperor Dajing asked Jiang Chen angrily.
But when Jiang Chen heard what Emperor Dajing said, he hesitated.
"Your Majesty, the truth of this matter cannot be confirmed yet!"
"The best way is to send someone to Jiangnan to investigate!"
"Well, you have a point!"
"I will ask the Ministry of Justice to..."
Emperor Dajing originally wanted to ask the Minister of Justice to investigate.
But looking at Jiang Chen kneeling on the ground...
"Lord Jiang, why don't you go investigate?"
"I!?"
When Jiang Chen heard what Emperor Dajing said, he was stunned!
He doesn't want to go to Jiangnan anymore!
The Eighth Wise King is probably waiting to kill him now!
If he went to Jiangnan, wouldn't he be walking into a trap? ?
"Yup!"
Emperor Dajing said with a smile: "Lord Jiang, you were the first to discover this matter, and you are also familiar with Jiangnan!"
"So... I think you are the most suitable person to do this!"
……
When Jiang Chen heard what Emperor Dajing said, he was suddenly stunned!
What Emperor Dajing said seemed to make sense!
But...it makes sense, then...there is a problem!
If everyone knew, after the incident, Emperor Dajing would let Jiang Chen go to Jiangnan.
Then it is very likely that someone did this on purpose!
Especially since Jiang Chen had just received a reminder from Xia Ningxiang!
The more Jiang Chen thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong!
When Emperor Dajing saw Jiang Chen remained silent, he couldn't help but look puzzled.
"Lord Jiang, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't you want to go?"
Jiang Chen came to his senses when he heard what Emperor Dajing said. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, that is not what I meant."
"It's just that I feel that this matter...I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to do it!"
"As the governor of Kyoto, I am in charge of the affairs of the capital."
"When officials commit crimes, it should be handled by the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Justice."
"If I go to Jiangnan to deal with this matter, I'm afraid... it will cause dissatisfaction from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple!"
Jiang Chen stated his reasons.
In fact, this reason is very sufficient, and it is even very likely that such a thing will happen!
If Jiang Chen went to Jinling County, these people in the court would definitely have something to say.
By then, he would not only face danger, but also be reported to the court officials.
But when Emperor Dajing heard Jiang Chen's words, he sighed helplessly.
"Alas, Lord Jiang, I know your worries."
"However, I am worried that if I send officials from the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Justice to do this, they may protect each other!"
"Now, you are the only one I can trust!"
……
Emperor Dajing said this with deep feeling.
If other people heard what Emperor Dajing said, they would definitely be moved to tears of gratitude!
But Jiang Chen was full of helplessness.
Because he knew that this time... he probably couldn't escape!
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty! I am willing to go to Jiangnan!"
"it is good!"
When Emperor Dajing heard Jiang Chen's words, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Lord Jiang, I know that your trip to Jiangnan this time will be full of dangers!"
"So I decided to send Han Peng to lead a thousand guards to follow you!"
"And there is this precious sword, take it!"
"I allow you to kill first and report later!
"If there is really something wrong with the Jinling County Magistrate, then... just kill him!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Jiang Chen felt relieved when he heard the arrangements made by Emperor Dajing.
Anyway, at least with these, his safety can be guaranteed.
Jiang Chen left the palace.
This time, Concubine Xiao learned her lesson and did not call him over again.
But when Jiang Chen returned to Kyoto Prefecture and told everyone that he was going to Jiangnan, everyone was stunned!
"My Lord, you are going to Jiangnan!? That's where the Eighth Sage King lives!"
"Yes, Lord! The Eighth Sage King has always had ill intentions towards you. If you go to Jiangnan, you might be in danger!
"My Lord, you... you are confused!"
Jiang Chen looked helpless when he heard what everyone said.
"Everyone, I know you are worried."
"Actually, I don't want to go either, but His Majesty has ordered me to go. I have no choice but to obey!"
"This……"
When everyone heard Jiang Chen's words, they sighed helplessly.
"My Lord, otherwise..."
Xu Meng's eyes signaled that his meaning was very clear, which was that he would rather rebel now and run away!
You can't go and die!
……
"No!"
Jiang Chen stopped Xu Meng, then looked at Li Yan and said, "Li Yan, after I leave, Kyoto Prefecture will still be in your hands."
"Brother Xu, you stay in Kyoto Prefecture, help Li Yan, and pay attention to the affairs at home."
"My Lord! Are you planning to leave us behind again?"
"You...you are taking a risk!" Xu Meng became even more worried after hearing Jiang Chen's words.
"Haha, Brother Xu, I'm not stupid, and I don't want to die!"
"This time, I won't take you with me, but I will take Zhang San and his group, as well as... Chu Xuan!"
Jiang Chen said this and looked at Chu Xuan who was playing with the stone bench in the yard.
"Chu Xuan!?"
Xu Meng fell silent after hearing this.
Chu Xuan, he is invincible in the world!
If Chu Xuan follows, it seems more reliable than if he follows.
Moreover, the affairs of the capital city cannot be separated from people!
Jiang Chen smiled at everyone and said, "Everyone, get ready!"
"Brother Xu, go and call Miss Ye over."
"Yes!"
When Xu Meng and the others heard Jiang Chen's words, they all left the room.
After everyone left, Ye Ping'er came to the hall.
"This commoner greets the Marquis!"
When Ye Ping'er saw Jiang Chen, she bowed respectfully.
"Well, no need to be polite."
"Your Majesty already knows about your affairs."
"And, His Majesty sent me to Jinling to investigate this matter!"
Jiang Chen said calmly.
"What!? Your Majesty is sending the Marquis!"
When Ye Ping'er heard what Jiang Chen said, she was shocked!
"What? You don't want me to go?" Jiang Chen asked with a faint smile.
"No no no!"
"I am very happy!"
"With the Marquis going there personally, my family will definitely not die innocently!"
"I...my family can now take revenge!"
