A commoner cried out in a bitter voice: "Yes! In previous years, floods flooded the rice fields. Not only did we have no food to eat, but everyone's homes were knocked down by the floods and flooded. It was Mr. Jiang who opened the warehouse to release food and saved us."

Out of the sea of ​​misery!

The boss is now over eighty years old and is the state herdsman of Yanzhou. He eats rotten rice and sleeps in a shabby house with leaky tiles. He repairs dams, rebuilds residences, digs canals and releases water, etc. The boss is very hands-on in everything! Sir!

By condemning him, you are condemning Yanzhou and the millions of people in Yanzhou!"

The scholar said with a sigh of relief: "We will live and die together with you, sir. If you want to convict me, we are willing to accompany you to the execution ground to repay your kindness!"

After he finished speaking, he bowed down and the people shouted in unison.

"I am willing to accompany you to the execution ground to repay the kindness of being reborn!!!"

The raindrops pattered on the Xie Zhi's crown. The blush on Chen Qiusheng's face spread all over his eyebrows in an instant, and his calm eyes gradually became cold.

He was not intimidated by the people's death threats. Instead, he pointed at the kneeling people and said, "It has been said in ancient times that filial piety comes first among all good deeds. However, as a subject of the Holy One, you actually want to die with Jiang Zimo. It is really treasonous!

"

boom!

Angry thunder struck down, and the light flashed across Chen Qiusheng's face!

He lowered his hand and continued in a cold voice: "Jiang Zimo has been guarding Yanzhou for thirty years. You also know that he is over eighty years old. How many more thirty years does he have? Do you want him to eat rotten rice all his life?

Lian Yeyu, will I accompany you until the day you die?! I, Zheng Guoying, am more than just him. Today, I, Chen Qiusheng, will give you an explanation!

Where is Tingwei's right prisoner?!"

Chen Jinqiu hurriedly rushed out of his seat: "This is my humble duty, what are your orders, sir?"

"The left prisoner of Tingwei was murdered by thieves last night. The cause of the case has not been found out. I will stay in Yanzhou to investigate." Chen Qiusheng pressed his hand heavily, "You will return to Chongdu today with the prisoners in the letter case.

, leave it to the Holy One for judgment.”

Chen Jinqiu's expression changed drastically. He ignored the rainwater flowing on his face and said urgently: "How can you stay in Yanzhou, sir? The letter case involves Daizhou Mu, and you need to report it to the Holy One in person!"

"Wait until the new Yanzhou Shepherd comes here." Chen Qiusheng held his hand a little tighter, "Go back and listen and think."

Chen Qiusheng's words made Chen Jinqiu understand clearly, but he did not dare to answer.

Before going south to Yanzhou, he had never heard of the new Yanzhou Mu, but according to Chen Qiusheng's words, someone had been arranged to succeed Yanzhou Mu, which meant that he had made up his mind to go south this time.

Change Jiang Zimo’s position!

Moreover, by staying in Yanzhou, Chen Qiusheng is taking himself as a hostage again!

Chen Jinqiu held on to the drastic change in his expression and asked calmly: "May I ask, sir, who is the new Yanzhou Mu?"

Chen Qiusheng said expressionlessly: "Gu Yaozhi."

It was only then that Chen Jinqiu couldn't help but change his face.

He raised his head, changed his humble look, and shouted in an almost broken voice: "Dazai Cheng Gu Yaozhi?! Brother, are you crazy?! He is a poor man who is in charge of cooking cauldron bowls. What qualifications does he have to be a governor?"

Mu?!"

Chen Jinqiu was so anxious that he didn't even call him "adult" and opened his mouth to say "big brother".

"The Holy Father ordered Gu Yaozhi to be the shepherd of Yanzhou!" Chen Qiusheng said in a deep voice, "How can you be so talkative?"

Chen Jinqiu was so angry that he was trembling all over: "Gu Yaozhi is a student of Jiang Zimo, do you think I don't know?! How can a person from a humble background make any achievements for the world? Furthermore, how can we explain to Lord Sikong?!"

"Master Chen!" Chen Qiusheng said in a solemn voice, "Don't say too much, and stand down after receiving your order!"

Chen Jinqiu wanted to speak, but found that Chen Qiusheng's eyes were full of indifference. He looked at him in surprise for a moment, trying to find the courage to fight again, but he was still defeated in terms of momentum. He then bowed to him as a gift.

, angrily entered the back hall.

"Everyone, I will accompany you all during the period when Mr. Gu, the new shepherd of Yanzhou, takes office. If a flood comes, it will be my fault." Chen Qiusheng waved his sleeves and dropped drops of rain and dew, "If you want to kill me, I will behead you."

, I’ll tell you, please do as you please.”

Such a free and easy demeanor made the people shout again in surprise, and the crowd was excited. It seemed that they were unwilling to let the government officials take Jiang Zimo away.

At this moment, Jiang Zimo, who saw Chen Qiusheng posing as a pledge, suddenly knelt and turned away. Cang Yin suppressed all complaints in an instant: "I, Jiang, have nothing to do with the people's fault. I accept your thoughts. If you still think about your love.

Well, everyone, please go back."

The people's eyes turned red when they heard this, and many people were crying in the rain, "Sir, this can't be done!"

Chen Qiusheng immediately waved his arm: "Case closed, withdraw from court."

The officials and soldiers organized and drove out the people. Jiang Zimo was forced back to the prison, and Liang Fenghou and others followed Chen Qiusheng into the back hall.

…

In the study room in the back hall, Chen Jinqiu walked around anxiously. When footsteps came from the corridor, he hurriedly walked to the door.

"Brother!" Chen Jinqiu looked livid and said anxiously when he saw Chen Qiusheng, "When we were waiting in Chongdu, Lord Sikong made it clear that what he wanted was for Jiang Zimo to surrender and surrender, not to remove him from his position! Why are you so indifferent to right from wrong?

, and drag Daizhou Mu into the water?"

"Jiang Zimo is a minister, and it is you and Pinggang who do not distinguish between right and wrong." Chen Qiusheng's words showed a strong sense of weariness, "You and Pinggang just let Sikong do what he wants, but due to reason and law, Jiang Zimo cannot escape the responsibility for his crimes.

If I don't condemn him, then we will be the ones dismissed this time when we go south."

"What's the point of being dismissed? My life is gone!" Chen Jinqiu pointed to the mottled wall outside the torrential rain, "Will these people let us go? Will they let Jiang Zimo go? If you accuse Jiang Zimo, you are forcing them to rebel!"

"Stupid!" Chen Qiusheng propped up his chair and sat down. "The crime in the letter case involves Daizhou Mu and the Jiao family's royal relatives. Who do you think is plotting these secretly?"

Chen Jinqiu froze in place as he was scolded. He frowned and said discouragedly: "Of course it's Lord Sikong, Daizhou Mu is one of his people."

Only then did Chen Qiusheng look at him, and said clearly with clear words: "If Jiang Zimo doesn't bow his head, I will convict him, and the people of Yanzhou will rebel. Maybe, you and I are both guilty of dereliction of duty. Return to Chongdu

, it’s a dead end, don’t you understand?

Pang Boyi wants you and me to be pawns. Once Jiang is convicted of treason, he will definitely force the people of Yanzhou to rebel. He can then take the opportunity to ask the Holy One to send troops to quell the rebellion! So whether Jiang Zimo is convicted or not, I, Chen Qiusheng,

It was the lax investigation that led to the rebellion!"

Chen Jinqiu couldn't stand after hearing this. He swayed, leaned heavily on the desk, and said in a daze: "So... Sikong asked us to come here on purpose? To force the people to rebel?"

"Why do you think the Forbidden Army in the west of the city is here? They are waiting to cause trouble and kill you and me!" Chen Qiusheng said clearly, "When the rebellion is put down, he can send a report to send officials he promoted to take over Yanzhou, and even more

What's more, the Chen family will also be held accountable for your and my negligence, and the position of Tingwei will also be replaced by others."

Chen Jinqiu finally understood, but the root problem puzzled him: "But what is all this for? Our Chen family, our hearts are dedicated to Sikong."

Chen Qiusheng pinched his forehead and showed his deep tiredness: "Mr. Chen, you are a chess piece in the hands of his great master. In this chess game in the world, we are just abandoned pieces to stabilize the situation. The rabbit will die and the dog will be cooked.

You are still thinking about working for Sikong, you are confused."

Chen Jinqiu's expression fell silent as he was taught a lesson, and he said solemnly: "Now the Zheng State is dominated by only one person, Sikong. Who can compete with him? I am also doing this for the Chen family and for the prison. But now... it's over, it's all over."

At this moment, the attendant suddenly shouted in front of the door: "Sir, Jiang Zimo is shouting in the prison that he wants to see you."

Chen Qiusheng didn't even take off his official uniform. He left Chen Jinqiu and left the study alone.

…

At this time, the cries of injustice outside the prison were like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. Accompanied by bursts of thunder and torrential rain, Chen Qiusheng forced his way into the prison under the protection of the officers and soldiers.

He did not let the jailer follow him, and walked alone in the dark corridor with his wet official uniform. When he reached the end of the road, he realized that his breathing was heavy for no reason.

He rubbed his forehead and waited for a few moments to wake up before asking, "What are your orders, Mr. Jiang?"

Chen Qiusheng still addressed him as "sir", but this did not make Jiang Zimo lose his solemn look: "Sir Chen, you did a big thing today."

Chen Qiusheng said nothing, but stared at Jiang Zimo intently.

"I never thought you had made so many preparations for the letter case." Jiang Zimo lowered his head in thought, "Liu Shuoyun checked Jiao Pengxing's letters, Liang Fenghou confirmed that Ma Fu had embezzled money, fake Jiang Lin took the initiative to confess his identity, and other details

The bystanders were investigated and punished one by one.

A small case investigated by you was earth-shattering, worthy of the name of Living Hell. But I don’t understand why you mobilized troops to capture Daizhou Pastor Feng Chengyue?"

"I think Mr. Jiang's wisdom will not fail to understand what I am doing." Chen Qiusheng's throat was dry and his voice was hoarse. "It is inevitable and inevitable. I can't avoid it. I can only do it for Zheng."

The country's most powerful medicine."

"Thick phlegm makes your throat worse. You administered this powerful medicine too hard, and all you spit out is blood." Jiang Zimo suddenly grabbed the wooden pillar and looked at it, "Do you know who Feng Chengyue's master is?"

Chen Qiusheng sighed: "I know. High above, with colorful clouds lying in the sky, Feng Chengyue's mistress is Queen Jiao."

The dirt-covered fingernails scratched the wooden pillars, and the slight squeaking sound was like the chirping of a mouse.

"Do you know why you still want to take him? The Jiao family has a high and powerful position. The queen lingers on the dragon bed and goes directly to Tianting. His brother Jiao Hongxue is in charge of the Western Region. His brother Jiao Pengxing has been stationed at Manhong Pass for many years. From the royal family to the minor officials,

They are all members of the Jiao family." Jiang Zimo looked carefully, "Did you know that your wanton arrests this time have already broken the law?"

Chen Qiusheng calmed down during the questioning, and he even asked: "Your Excellency also knows that Jiao Hongxue alone holds the power in the Western Region, but do you know that Lord Sikong originally wanted me to kill you?"

Jiang Zimo withdrew his hand and lost his momentum: "But you saved me."

"No, I am saving Yanzhou." Chen Qiusheng said calmly, "Saving the world."

The breathing in the quiet cell suddenly stopped, and the sound of water dripping could be heard clearly.

Jiang Zimo dragged the chain and made a muffled sound that was sometimes heavy and sometimes soft. He looked at Chen Qiusheng with respect: "But please enlighten me."

Chen Qiusheng said calmly: "The Zhen family is the founding father of the country. She has a remarkable reputation and has been granted a title of the opposite sex. However, for many years, the previous emperors have not given her a fief. Do you know why?"
