Chapter 1242 I want to be a useful person here with the Queen
Inside the imperial study of the palace.
There are only six or seven people attending today's small court meeting.
But now everyone is looking at the person who is reporting.
The Empress has discovered the remnants of the traitorous Raojiang Guxian Cult.
And the remnants are related to the Jiang family!
Su Wenqing, Li Jiulang and others looked at each other in surprise.
They had just learned what happened in the palace last night, and why Mu Xu, Dugu Ruyuan, Su Ziyu and others were not there today.
Naturally, this also includes Shen Yuanhao's matter.
but
What happened last night, has Her Majesty already found some clues about the missing remnants of Rao Jiang?
Su Wenqing lowered his eyes. In fact, he had met Mu Xu once before. They met by chance at the Secretariat this morning.
When the old man saw him, he sighed and said meaningfully, "You old boy, you are so dark and old, you have a good life."
Without saying anything, Mu Xu left.
Although Su Wenqing was confused, he knew that Mu Xu must not talk to him too much, otherwise he would definitely pull him away, so Su Wenqing did not chase him.
I just wonder what this means.
Hasn’t my life always been good?!
Do you need to tell me!?
Finally, everyone looked at the emperor who was sitting on the dragon couch in the middle of the imperial study.
The emperor leaned against the cushions on the couch, his face expressionless.
But in my heart.
Swearing.
every time!
Every time I go out, something happens!
There is no peace at all!
What's wrong with you? Every time you go out, you encounter the most urgent and troublesome thing.
Although it is a good thing that it can be solved, it is also poisonous.
Xia Fengxiang's expression was calm behind the curtain, but his hands were clenched.
I still remember the incident of the witchcraft in Wuping Town.
So whenever something involved poison, Xia Fengxiang's heart would inexplicably skip a beat. He would also think of Su Chang'an lying unconscious on the bed, and he would become anxious and uneasy.
I still feel scared, that's it!
"Your Majesty, it is true that Your Majesty works so hard for the people, but Your Majesty is ill after all. It is we who are incompetent and unable to share Your Majesty's worries. We feel guilty about this." Wei Xuancheng stepped forward and bowed to the emperor.
Others naturally came forward.
Behind the curtain, Xia Fengxiang still had no expression on his face, but he cursed even more fiercely in his heart!
Because Su Changan always did this to deal with the affairs of Jingzhao Prefecture, Dali Temple, Ministry of Justice and even the Left and Right Thirteen Guards.
Many people are troubled by Su Changan.
Even though I know that Su Changan encountered it by chance, why does it happen like this every time?
If you do it yourself instead of assigning it to others, you will inevitably develop a tendency to distrust them.
Xia Fengxiang knew that it was Su Changan, that fool, who had encountered this kind of thing.
But how would others know?
At that moment, Wei Xuancheng and others looked embarrassed.
Xia Fengxiang said, "After the Queen learned about this yesterday, she was worried about what might happen in Wuping Town or the previous incident at Prince Chu's Mansion. She was afraid that if she sent you to investigate, someone would get hurt. So she went out to investigate this matter herself."
"I didn't intend to keep this a secret from you, but I also didn't intend to tell too many people to avoid causing panic. That's why the Queen wanted to conduct a secret investigation. Now that you know about this, don't make it public, and don't overthink it. It won't cause any trouble."
When everyone heard this, although they agreed, their faces looked ugly.
If the ministers are too capable, it will be a headache for the lord.
But on the other hand, if the lord is too capable, it will be a headache for the ministers who are eager to be loyal and work hard.
Xia Fengxiang looked at everyone with embarrassed expressions and started cursing in his heart again.
Wait until he comes back and tie him up!
Don't go anywhere, you just run into trouble every day.
But even though I thought so, my hands, which were constantly rubbing due to nervousness, also showed my worry.
Looking at the Huanglong Guards reporting below, he said, "Send Ashura over as well. If they find out that the Jiang family has a close relationship with that Rao Jiang person and are suspected of harboring him, kill them on the spot! Then give this item to the Queen."
Behind the curtain, Xia Fengxiang stretched out his hand, holding a stack of papers.
…
"How dare you arrest me! Do you know who I am? You arrest me like this!"
"I want to see my mother! I want to see my brother!"
"If my mother knew you were doing this in private, she would arrest you. I tell you, no matter who you are, you're finished!"
"No matter who it is! Go tell my mother to save me!"
…
The Thirteen Guards' Mansion has no sign and no formal boundaries. It is just an ordinary mansion.
At this moment, Jiang Nichao was tied up by Yan Ruyu and dragged in by force.
And right in the yard, those Huanglong guards clicked their tongues and shook their heads. It had been so many years, but these playboys hadn't changed their rhetoric. It seemed that after a thousand or eight hundred years, it would still be the same.
Then he raised his hand and pointed at the main door.
After Yan Ruyu finished her ceremony, she threw Jiang Nichao directly into the open house and untied him.
"You bastards, wait till I get out, wait till I get out, I'll tell my father-in-law, Lord Su, and he'll definitely..."
"Chao'er!"
While he was cursing, Jiang Nichao heard the voice.
Look back.
But he was stunned.
"Mom, brother?" Jiang Nichao looked at Jiang Yanping and Jiang Taiping, a little stunned. "You...you...why are you here?"
Jiang Yanping looked at Jiang Nichao and did not answer, but walked over directly.
Jiang Nichao said, "Mother, that woman... that woman hired some jianghu people to kidnap you as well. She actually..."
Bang!
Jiang Nichao is talking
Jiang Yanping slapped Jiang Nichao in the face: "You useless piece of shit! What the hell did you get into out there? And that woman you insisted on saving!"
Jiang Nichao was a little dazed by the slap. He looked at his mother and his elder brother at the same time.
Jiang Nichao reached out and touched the side of his face: "What did I do? Mom, what's wrong with me? I was also tied up here. What did I do? Why did you hit me? I..."
The more Jiang Nichao spoke, the more tears came out and his face was full of grievance.
Jiang Yanping didn't tolerate Jiang Nichao and slapped him on the side of the face again: "Ask yourself! And what's the matter with the woman you mentioned! What woman! Where did you provoke that woman? "
Jiang Nichao covered his face with his hands and burst into tears.
Jiang Taiping stepped forward: "Second brother, what woman did you say?
Jiang Nichao looked at his eldest brother and said, "It was a woman wearing a veil on her head. She was participating in a store promotion and was saying something like 'first place'. I couldn't stand it and made some sarcastic remarks. But she actually won first place. I didn't do anything wrong and was embarrassed. I wanted to deal with her but held back. Then she brought some people to block me."
Jiang Yanping frowned, "Wearing a veil on the head?"
As he said this, he looked at Jiang Taiping and his heart skipped a beat.
Is it worth provoking a woman wearing a veil on her head in the capital?
Jiang Taiping's expression also froze for a moment. He, his mother, and all the members of the Jiang family were captured, and no one could be left out. Even the man surnamed Xuan had disappeared, so the Thirteen Guards went to look for him in person.
but.
They still don't know why they were arrested, they only know that they received orders from the Queen Mother.
But right now.
I think I know.
Jiang Taiping looked at Jiang Nichao and asked, "That lady wearing a veil on her head, is there a girl with a small satchel on her back, and one or two people with swords?"
Jiang Nichao nodded: "Yes. Yes! Brother! Do you know who she is? How dare she do this under the emperor's feet? Let's go tell Uncle Su, she..."
Bang!
It was not Jiang Yanping who took action, but Jiang Taiping who took direct action and slapped Jiang Nichao in the face.
Jiang Nichao's head was full of stars.
Jiang Taiping didn't even look at Jiang Nichao, but looked at his mother: "Mom, what should we do now?"
Jiang Yanping felt that he couldn't breathe smoothly, and slumped in the chair, looking at Jiang Nichao: "You...you..."
As he raised his finger to point at Jiang Nichao, his chest began to hurt.
Snap!
But it was also at this time.
Lu Cai and Yan Ruyu pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing the young man, Jiang Yanping stood up immediately.
The black snake was wrapped around Lu Cai's neck, but before Lu Cai could speak, the snake suddenly crawled up Lu Cai's face and onto his head. Then, its amber vertical pupils stared straight at Jiang Nichao, and its tongue kept coming out of its mouth, making a hissing sound.
Jiang Nichao, who was already stunned by the beating, was shocked when he saw this scene. How could a normal person have a snake on his body?
Swish!
No signs!
The snake jumped towards Jiang Nichao.
Jiang Yanping and Jiang Taiping were about to speak after seeing this scene.
Lu Cai's pretty face looked very innocent and tender, and he immediately said, "You two, it won't hurt Young Master Jiang. It just wants to smell the scent of Xuan'er on Young Master Jiang."
After saying this, Lu Cai quickly said, "I am Lu Cai, a eunuch beside the Empress. I have been ordered by the Empress to investigate someone. I ask for your assistance, otherwise I might use harsh measures against you three. Please help me."
After saying this, Lu looked at his snake.
Go to Jinsi Village to learn skills.
It doesn't matter how much hardship I have to endure along the way, because I just want to help the Queen.
When he came back, he found that his elder brother didn't seem to need him to do much. He was very disappointed at first, until the interrogation methods taught by his master could help the Empress and His Majesty, then he felt happy in his heart.
The master said, "Lu Cai, as long as people like us have something that can help the noble people in the sky, then it is useful."
And just now, someone told him that the methods he learned from Rao Jiang could also help the Queen.
Naturally, I dare not neglect it.
Be sure to do it well!
And hearing the words of this seemingly simple-looking young man.
Jiang Yanping and Jiang Taiping immediately bowed and said, "Greetings to Lu Diao Si."
Seeing this, Lu Cai quickly returned the greeting: "Just call me eunuch, I'm not some Diao Si."
As he was speaking, the snake left Jiang Nichao's body and crawled on the ground amidst his shouts, apparently trying to confirm something.
Lu Cai looked at Jiang Nichao: "Master Jiang, I want to ask about the matter of Xuan'er."
Jiang Nichao fell to the ground in a miserable state, his face aching, and he was unable to move because of the snake.
Jiang Taiping and Jiang Yanping didn't know what happened to the Jiang family.
But it seems to be related to Xuan'er.
Jiang Taiping immediately kicked Jiang Nichao and said, "Speak!"
Jiang Nichao was stunned for a moment, tears on his face.
Lu Cai stepped forward and said, "Time is very urgent. I need to find him before the queen comes over, so please cooperate with me, otherwise I will take action."
When Lu Cai took his hand out of his sleeve, a blade as thin as a cicada's wing was pinched between his fingers.
Seeing this, Jiang Nichao's breathing quickened: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have mocked that lady, I was wrong."
Lu Cai spoke up: "That girl named Xuan'er, I asked the servants in your Jiang Mansion, and they said she had been staying at the Jiang family the whole time. She disappeared today. Do you know where she went?"
Jiang Nichao heard this and quickly shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know"
Lu Cai frowned slightly, but was about to speak.
But he turned around and looked at his snake.
The snake had already crawled out like flying.
Lu Cai looked at Yan Ruyu and said, "Found them! There's more than one person! Sister Ruyu, I'll go after them. You stay here and watch over them."
After saying that, he chased in the direction of the snake without any hesitation.
Very fast!
Disappeared in an instant.
The Huanglong Guards wanted to catch up, but he had already disappeared, so they could only chase in the direction he disappeared.
Yan Ruyu frowned, but put her hand on the hilt of the knife and looked back at Jiang Yanping and others.
Wu Daming blinked as he held a snack in his hand. "That little snake is amazing!"
