Chapter 1522 Human life is at stake, how could you not save it!
Cao Zirou rejected Mrs. Jiang.
She covered her heart: "I'm worried about my cousin. I'm feeling very distressed right now. Can you go back to your room and sleep for a while and go back tomorrow?"
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Jiang couldn't force her, so she could only nod helplessly.
Cao Zirou left quickly.
If it were normal, she would still have to comfort Mrs. Jiang with a few words.
In the middle of the night, the Imperial Guards entered the mansion again and woke up the Jiangfu family who had finally slept peacefully.
It turns out that the interrogation officials sent by the emperor have arrived, and everyone in Jiang Mansion must welcome them.
When the family, wrapped in outer robes, stood in the courtyard in the bleak autumn wind, watching Lord Xie of Dali Temple walk in, Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment.
He is actually Xie Yunxiang’s father!
"I have been ordered by the emperor to investigate the case of Mr. Jiang's escape from the army. Next, I will ask everyone in the Jiang family to cooperate."
After he finished speaking, Mr. Jiang stepped forward and spoke sincerely.
"Thank you, Sir. My father is old. Can you keep him for interrogation until tomorrow morning and allow him to go to sleep first? The rest of us will definitely cooperate with you."
Mr. Xie, the minister of Dali Temple, looked at him and said seriously: "It is difficult to disobey the emperor's order. Mr. Jiang, please don't embarrass me. If you are guilty, you should be treated equally!"
Mr. Jiang frowned: "You!"
"That's all!" Mr. Jiang interrupted them: "Let's get started. Since we want to investigate, of course I, as the elder of the Jiang family, must cooperate."
Mr. Xie, the Minister of Dali Temple, slightly cupped his hand and said: "Old Marquis, I am considerate."
Immediately afterwards, he ordered someone to take Mr. Jiang to the room.
The rest of the people had to line up outside the door and wait for trial under the supervision of the Imperial Guards.
The autumn wind in the middle of the night was biting and it made Cao Zirou shiver slightly. She didn't know whether it was from the cold or fear.
When Master Xie passed by Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang spoke quickly.
"Thank you, Sir. If I have offended you in the past, please bear with me. I will sincerely apologize when Jiang Mansion is over."
Mr. Xie, the Minister of Dali Temple, looked back and gave her a cold look.
"Mrs. Jiang's words are serious. At this time, I am performing official duties and do not care about personal matters."
After that, he followed into the room and went to interrogate Mr. Jiang first.
Mrs. Jiang heard that his attitude was firm and cold, and she also knew that he had bullied his daughter before.
Why didn't he seize this opportunity and deal with Jiang Mansion ruthlessly?
Mrs. Jiang only felt cold.
When Cao Zirou saw this scene behind them, she felt even more frightened.
No! She has to find a way to break away from the Jiang family!
The interrogation in the room lasted for half a stick of incense.
I heard the sound of a chair falling down from inside.
Then Mr. Xie exclaimed: "Old Marquis, why did you faint? Someone is here!"
Master Jiang was standing at the door. He heard the movement first and rushed in quickly.
"Father!" Seeing the unconscious old Marquis lying on the ground, Mr. Jiang went over and picked him up: "Call the doctor quickly!"
However, Mr. Xie frowned: "No, the emperor has an order that no idlers can enter the mansion, lest you guys pass news to each other!"
Mrs. Jiang was beside her with red eyes: "Human life is at stake. Thank you, sir! Your Majesty confessed that he wanted to be tried, but he didn't say that he would take our lives!"
Mr. Xie was unmoved: "This is the emperor's order. Forgive me for being ruthless. Someone will come and carry Lord Jiang into the dormitory and let him sleep."
Mr. Jiang fought hard, but he was a scholar and was held down by the Imperial Guards several times.
Mr. Xie ordered: "Master Jiang is so impulsive. If I am any more cruel, I will kill you immediately. You must keep him under strict supervision."
Mr. Jiang was dragged away, and he shouted loudly along the way: "Xie Chun! Are you still a human being? That's my father!"
Until his voice could no longer be heard, Mr. Xie closed his eyes, his face looking ruthless.
"You are next, let's continue the interrogation." He looked at Mrs. Jiang who fell to the ground and was helpless.
