Jiang Bai is only forty-five. It is not the time for him to enjoy his retirement. He still wants to continue to be a tyrant... uh, no... to work hard for the people for a few more years.

But Chu Younan had made up his mind. The Taipu Temple was only a temporary place for Jiang Bai to stay. How could he possibly take back his decision?

When Jiang Bai walked out of the imperial study, there was a thick blood scab on his forehead.

He was thinking about contacting Bei Yanming, doing something in Taipu Temple, and then jumping to Beidi to continue to be second only to the emperor.

The truth of the matter has been revealed at this point.

All those involved in the gunpowder incident were sentenced to beheading, including Jiang Fu, Jiang Gaoyun and Huang Zhuang.

The two of them actually had nothing to do with the gunpowder incident, but if they were convicted of murdering the royal family, it would be too embarrassing for Chu Youyang, so he took this opportunity to punish them together.

The scene on the day of the execution was extremely spectacular. It was supposed to be a scene of cheers from the people, but Jiang Gaoyun made it funny.

Others would not speak before being beheaded, but he was different. He raised his neck and shouted loudly: "That old dog Jiang Bai, he couldn't control his thing, slept with my mother, and then abandoned us in the countryside and didn't care about us! I clearly did nothing wrong, but he actually asked the emperor to kill me. He was clearly destroying the evidence!"

The son scolding his father was a farce in itself. Add to that his family ethics drama, and the execution ground suddenly became a stage.

What's even more interesting is that originally the execution had nothing to do with the Imperial Household Department, but in order to show that he was putting justice above family ties, Jiang Bai asked Chu Younan to personally supervise the execution, but ended up being scolded by his own son.

"What nonsense! Shut his mouth! Kill him!" Jiang Bai was so angry that his beard was shaking.

Unexpectedly, when he shouted like that, the people around him actually sighed.

"My own son wouldn't scold me like that. There must be some grudge. I heard that the mother of the guy above died of anger!"

"If your father abandoned you in the countryside, you would definitely be dissatisfied!"

"Even if my father abandoned me in the countryside, he wouldn't have asked anyone to chop me up so quickly! I can only say that Prime Minister Jiang... uh no... I can only say that he is too inhumane. That child is so pitiful!"

The public opinion was one-sided, and people began to sympathize with Jiang Gaoyun, while Jiang Bai was labeled as a bastard who played with someone and then ran away.

Jiang Bai really wanted to chop off the bastard's head! But just as the sword was about to fall, someone came on horseback to report that he should spare his life.

This person was none other than the servant of Prince Jin Chu Youyang.

Jiang Gaoyun thought she was lucky enough to be spotted by some nobleman, and secretly swore to be loyal to that person for the rest of her life, but she found out that the person was Chu Youyang's servant...

He was brought back home by Chu Youyang.

Jiang Bai gnashed his teeth in hatred. His reputation was completely ruined by this kid. Now he just wanted to chop off this kid's head as soon as possible.

Prince Jin's Mansion.

Chu Youyang looked at Jiang Gaoyun with a smile, but it made him feel creepy.

Thinking about how he had bullied this old man in the past, Jiang Gaoyun realized that it might be better for him to die than to keep his life.

The tortures he had heard of emerged in his mind. Some made people live a life worse than death, some made people wish they could die, and some made people wish they could die quickly.

But even if he was asked to bite his tongue and die immediately, he still couldn't bear to do it.

"Master! Uncle! Grandfather! My dear ancestor!" Jiang Gaoyun kowtowed repeatedly, "Please be magnanimous and let me go. I will serve you like a slave for the rest of my life!"

Chu Youyang still smiled, "Don't be so scared, I think your life story is pitiful, so it's understandable that you grew crooked..."

Logically speaking, these words should be very sentimental, but Jiang Gaoyun somehow detected a hint of gnashing of teeth in them.

Of course, Chu Youyang really wanted to make him live a life worse than death, but Su Bei said that this man was still useful, so he could reason with him and appeal to his emotions.

"Life is hard in the countryside, right? Actually, it's wrong for a father to disown his son. After all, he is his own child. I can't blame you or your mother for the way you have become..."

Chu Youyang didn't finish his words, but his meaning was already very clear.

This was exactly what Jiang Gaoyun wanted.

After his mother climbed into Jiang Bai's bed, Jiang Bai not only did not give her a promotion, but instead demoted her to the lowest-ranking maid, so Jiang Gaoyun had a hard childhood.

I still remember that his mother worked hard by lamplight to embroider handkerchiefs just to buy him two taels of meat.

At that time, Jiang Gaoyun didn't realize it and even complained that his mother didn't give him meat to eat. But now after being enlightened by Chu Youyang, he suddenly felt that all his suffering was caused by Jiang Bai.

Yes, that old dog!

There was murderous intent in Jiang Gaoyun's eyes.

Chu Youyang saw it all.

His third sister-in-law said that Jiang Bai was not a good person, but now there is no evidence to deal with him, so let the father and son fight! Jiang Gaoyun was very surprised. Although he heard the gritting of teeth in Chu Youyang's words and saw the other party's eyes that wanted to chop him into eight pieces, he didn't do anything to him. He treated him to a good meal and gave him ten taels of silver before leaving.

Now, what he wanted to do most was to make that old dog suffer a fate worse than death.

Jiang Gaoyun was a rough man and could not think of so many solutions. The most satisfying thing he could think of was to play with that old man's women, not only his concubine, but also his wife and his daughters.

I still remember when he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, those people all laughed at him and said he was a country bastard. Those women avoided him when they saw him, saying that he smelled like pickled vegetables.

In fact, he had washed his clothes many times and changed them into new ones. How could this be possible? He only had ten taels of silver in his hand. If he wanted to see those noble ladies, he could only pretend to be a peddler.

Jiang Bai has been extremely frustrated recently, but fortunately, Chu Younan only demoted him and did not confiscate his property.

He appears to be incorruptible, but in fact, whenever he is unhappy, he will ask someone to buy him a concubine.

The one he bought this time was only thirteen years old.

Jiang Bai just likes this kind of old cow eating young grass.

But just as he was about to go look for the young girl, Mrs. Jiang suddenly fell ill, and he had to go see her, so he was delayed for a while.

When he arrived, it was slightly dark and the house was quiet. Only the moonlight shone into the house and clothes were scattered all over the floor.

Jiang Bai was instantly happy. This time the girl said it! But before he could laugh for a few seconds, he suddenly heard some noise. He looked at the scattered clothes on the ground, not only women's clothes, but also men's clothes. There seemed to be some movement on the bed. He was furious and rushed over to pull open the curtain.

When he saw it, he was stunned, angry and almost died.
