Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 761 The imperial envoy was killed

   Nie Linjiang, an imperial envoy sent by Emperor Jinghe to Jiuquan, Suzhou, to inspect the local civil affairs, sent a memorial, and reported that Kong Qingfeng, the minister of officials who accompanied him to Jiuquan, died of illness in the Houya of Jiuquan County on the first day of the eighth lunar month!

   Kong Qingfeng and Nie Linjiang were supposed to rush to Jiuquan, Suzhou this spring, but they were delayed for various reasons, so they only left Beijing to rush to Jiuquan in late spring this year. The two set off from Kang'an, and it took nearly two months to arrive at Jiuquan, which is more than 3,800 miles away. Kong Qingfeng died of illness in Jiuquan Houya on the first day of August. How could the dignified imperial envoy suddenly die of a sudden illness? How could this not make Wan Sui who had high hopes for the two of them outraged.

   Long live immediately summoned the left and right second ministers and the three patriarchs of Tianzhang Pavilion to enter the palace, and the five had not yet left the palace when it was dark. The yamen in the six departments and nine prisons did not dare to leave the yamen, and the officials waited with bated breath. The wine party between Jiang Erye and Shan Xianxin was naturally shelved.

At the time of   Hai, the palace gate finally opened, Qin Tianye, Duke Huguo, Du Hai'an and Huang Tong walked out with a sullen face, but Taifu Yin Qian was left in the palace by Long Live.

   After the four returned to their respective residences, the yamen officials dared to leave the yamen and return to the residence. The first thing Jiang Song did when he returned to the palace was to call his second brother over to ask what happened in the palace.

This question, Jiang Erye has been asked several times today, and the answer is quite smooth, "Long live called me into the palace to chat, and then 600 miles from Jiuquan, Suzhou was expedited to deliver, and I backed out and listened in no time. When the sound of Wanzai smashing the medal, Yang Feng came out and told me to leave the palace first, my younger brother didn’t dare to ask or look around, so I rushed out.”

  Jiang Song said bitterly, "Master Kong is in his early forties and he has always been healthy, how could he suddenly die suddenly?"

Uncle Qiu knew that something would happen to Kong Qingfeng and Nie Linjiang, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly, "Master Kong is Taifu's favorite student, he works decisively, his personality is upright, and he is a talent cultivated by Taifu. He died in Jiuquan. , is a major loss to the court."

Long live to strictly investigate Suzhou. When most of the court officials did not dare to take the initiative to ask Ying, he took the initiative to share the king's worries, faced difficulties, and cut through layers of obstacles to go to Jiuquan. Who knew that he would die in Huangquan after staying in Jiuquan for two months. , Why didn't this make Long Live and the Grand Master mourn, and shocked the ministers.

   Jiuquan officials are so rampant!

   Jiang Huai guessed, "If something like this happens, the magistrate of Jiuquan will not survive, right?"

   Uncle Qiu shook his head, "Kong Qingfeng died in Jiuquan, and the county magistrate of Jiuquan is bound to die. But the officials in Suzhou will not let him have a chance to die until he takes all the blame."

Jiang Huai turned to look at his second brother, and Jiang Erye said, "Uncle Qiu is right, Long live an order to thoroughly investigate the cause of Kong Qingfeng's death, the Jiuquan magistrate and Yiying officials were escorted to Kang'an, no matter how much tossing, the next spring will be the same. There should be a conclusion."

   After the case is concluded, Long Live will definitely make the next move. At that time, his son will go to Suzhou. Those people even dared to kill the imperial envoy, but his son had to enter the enemy camp alone, so why didn't Jiang Erye worry about it. Jiang Erye raised his eyes and asked Uncle Qiu, "How is An Zheng who went back with the imperial emissary?"

   Uncle Qiu didn't expect Kong Qingfeng to have an accident so soon, which meant that he had less time to prepare. As for An Zheng, "Kong Qingfeng is dead, if An Zheng is not protected by Nie Linjiang, he has two possibilities: one is to be killed, the other is to escape. No matter which one is, it is not easy to find him now. However, If he is still alive, he will find a way to send us news."

There was no sound in the house again, Jiang Huai couldn't stand the silence, so he asked the silent Jiang Song, "Big Brother, Long live sent two imperial envoys to Jiuquan, when Master Kong died, did Master Nie still exist? the point?"

Jiang Song shook his head, "The two imperial envoys sent to Jiuquan this time are mainly Kong Qingfeng and Nie Linjiang is the auxiliary. Nie Linjiang is an officer in the military department. , in order for him to check Zuo Wuwei's rations and other matters. But Duke Protector has an ambiguous attitude on the matter of reducing the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army, and Nie Linjiang may not be able to find out anything."

   Jiang Huai's eyes lit up, "Those people killed Kong Qingfeng but kept Nie Linjiang, which is enough to show that Kong Qingfeng poses a greater threat to them than Nie Linjiang!"

Jiang Song also couldn't make up his mind, "The memorial reported by Nie Linjiang said that Kong Qingfeng was 'died from illness', these two words have a lot of meaning, and we can infer their intention only by seeing what the Suzhou side and Nie Linjiang will do next. In any case, our You should be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not be caught in the wrong place at this moment."

   After Jiang Song said this, everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Erye. Jiang Erye smiled, "Don't worry, eldest brother, younger brother will be cautious in his words and deeds, and will not do any extra things."

Jiang Song nodded. For some reason, he always felt very uneasy in his heart, and always felt that something bad was about to happen, so he warned again, "From now on until Zheng'er gets married, you don't want anything but Xicheng Yamen and Jingzhao Mansion. go…"

   Before Jiang Song finished speaking, Jiang Ming whispered outside the door, "Uncle, Fourth Master Chai sent someone to invite the second master, saying that there is something important to discuss."

  Everyone…

   Jiang Erye folded the fan handle to put the brim of his hat, Guanqiao, "Look at the big brother, is the younger brother going or going out... not going?"

  Jiang Song said helplessly, "Yi An is not a rude person. Since he is looking for you at this time, he must have something really important to do, let's go."

   "Yes." Jiang Erye got up, walked out of the door and asked, "Where is Hanzhi?"

   Jiang Hou'er lowered his voice and said, "In Dayunjing Temple."

   Jiang Erye...? !

   "Master is going to change, let's walk over."

   When Jiang Erye entered the dormitory in the backyard of Dayunjing Temple, Chai Yi'an asked with a smirk, "Second brother, have you been scolded?"

   Jiang Erye snorted, walked over and reclined on the soft slump, picked a piece of fruit from the table and ate it in his mouth, before saying, "Why are you calling me out at this hour?"

  Chai Yi'an sat at the table and brewed tea in a dignified manner, and handed it to Jiang Erye before saying, "Second brother, when will Linger go to Suzhou?"

   Jiang Erye raised his eyebrows, "Why are you asking this?"

  Chai Yi'an sighed, "My fifth son wants to go with him."

   Jiang Erye sat up immediately, "Isn't this nonsense, what is he going to do?"

   "Who said it wasn't," Chai Yi'an sighed again, "but he has to go. My old man and third brother were both tempted by what he said. I couldn't persuade them, so I came to ask the second brother."

They are all brothers of their own, so Jiang Erye has something to say directly, "Hanzhi, that place in Suzhou is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and he went to nine deaths. Ling'er went because he was carrying the revenge of killing his father and exterminating the family, why did Lin Yan want to Taking this risk? Besides, if he goes with Ling'er, if there is something wrong, how do you ask me to explain to your father, your elder brother and elder sister-in-law?"

  The fifth oldest of the Chai family is the son of the third elder brother of Chai Yi'an. Ling'er went back to Suzhou to take revenge and establish a career, and Erye Jiang would never let Chai Linyi follow him to cause trouble for his son.

  Chai Yi'an also said helplessly, "I also told my family that I can't let him go and cause trouble. So I came here to ask the second brother, if the old fifth has to go, when do you think it is the best time for him to set off?"
