The court was dismissed.
Fu Chengwang immediately grabbed Qi Ziang's sleeve and said, "Master Qi, Zhao Lin was attacked by pirates and nearly died. We must investigate this thoroughly and give him justice."
Li Xingye grabbed the other sleeve and said, "These thieves are so bold that they dared to attack a high-ranking official. Lord Qi, you must be careful and not be careless."
Seeing that the Crown Prince and Prince Yu also wanted to come over and say a few words, Qi Ziang was so angry that he shook off their hands and walked away without looking back.
"Why is Lord Qi in such a hurry?" someone asked.
"Hurry up and investigate the pirate attack," someone answered.
"Lord Qi is truly a model of a famous official." Everyone praised.
Qi Ziang staggered and almost fell.
There was a coldness in Fu Chengwang's smiling eyes.
You are just a censor. Who gives you the courage to impeach Zhao Lin?
If it was any other time, it would be fine, but now Zhao Lin has just been attacked and stabbed several times, almost dying. You don’t even consider your colleagues and are impeaching him. Don’t blame me for leaving you to Zhao Lin to deal with.
Fu Chengwang was too lazy to refute Qi Ziang. It was just a war of words and there was no point in standing here and fighting for a whole day.
Don’t you, Qi Ziang, dislike Zhao Lin? Then I will let you be the imperial envoy to Zhao Lin and see if you dare to speak nonsense again.
Li Xingye and Fu Chengwang smiled at each other.
He thought so too.
The other ministers all looked at Qi Ziang's back with mockery as he left.
No matter what Zhao Lin did, he is the victim now, but he almost died. The emperor felt sad for him. You were so blind as to impeach him. Who else should we impeach if not you?
It’s a pity that they couldn’t get this good job.
But it doesn't matter. They can go down privately. At least they have to get a cup. They can't let Zhao Lin take it all alone.
Qi Ziang got on the carriage and ordered, "Go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion."
Qi Ziang went straight to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion without any concealment.
When Pang Jingxiu came back, Qi Ziang complained, "Admiral Pang, you've given me a really difficult problem."
It was Pang Jingxiu who informed Qi Ziang about Zhao Lin's arrest of the governors of three provinces. Qi Ziang just wanted to make his presence felt, but who knew that he would be sent out by Fu Chengwang?
I can only come to Pang Jingxiu to settle the score.
Pang Jingxiu laughed and said, "Isn't it just an imperial envoy? Zhao Lin has already killed one imperial envoy. Would he dare to kill a second one? If he really dared to kill so many, the other masters would not forgive him either."
Qi Ziang angrily said, "Who said Zhao Lin killed the imperial envoy? It was the rebels who killed him. There are rebels in Jiujiang and pirates in Qingyuan. How dare I go there?"
It's so easy to kill someone these days.
Ge Ruochuan used pirates to kill Zhao Lin, and Zhao Lin could naturally use pirates to kill Qi Ziang.
Pang Jingxiu thought for a moment and said, "I'll send you some men, plus the imperial guards. As long as you don't leave the city, Zhao Lin won't be so bold as to kill you in the city, right?"
Qi Ziang said helplessly: "This is the only way."
After a pause, Qi Ziang said angrily, "This Zhao Lin is so audacious! He should have just been doing his job as the governor of the river, but he insisted on interfering in maritime trade. Interfering in maritime trade would have been fine, but he even arrested the governors of three provinces. What does he want to do? Is he planning a rebellion?"
Pang Jingxiu said quietly, "Why not?"
Qi Ziang was startled and said, "Admiral Pang, you can't say such things carelessly."
Qi Ziang was just complaining, but if it got out, people would think that Qi Ziang was saying that Zhao Lin was rebelling.
This is yellow mud falling down your crotch, it's shit if it's not.
Pang Jingxiu said, "Zhao Lin is a reckless person. Who knows what he's up to? But if Lord Qi can find out what's wrong, it will definitely be a great achievement."
Qi Ziang sneered: "Am I that stupid?"
If it weren't for Fu Chengwang's support, Qi Ziang would not even leave the capital.
Not to mention risking his life to investigate Zhao Lin.
Pang Jingxiu comforted him, "Don't worry, Master Qi. We have some people in Qingyuan who will be transferred to you to ensure that nothing unexpected happens to you."
"That would be best." Qi Ziang said.
After Qi Ziang left, Pang Jingxiu came to Pang Zhuo and asked, "Father, what should we do next?"
Pang Zhuo said, "Zhao Lin is decisive, which is beyond my expectations. Since he has already captured Ge Ruochuan and the other three, he must have known about our existence. You should go find him in person. If we can continue to cooperate, it would be even better..."
"What if it doesn't work?" Pang Jingxiu asked.
Pang Zhuo lowered his eyelids and said, "Tell Zhao Jingzhou to send someone over."
Pang Jingxiu was shocked: "Are you really going to kill him? Is Zhao Jingzhou willing?"
Pang Zhuo sneered, "He has to agree even if he doesn't want to. He knows better than us where the money we've sent him over the years has gone. If Zhao Lin cuts off the money, it will ruin everything and he'll be in trouble even if he wants to die."
Thinking of something important, Pang Jingxiu immediately said, "Yes, father."
Zhao Lin soon received orders from Qi Ziang to come and investigate the incident of him being attacked by pirates.
"This Qi Ziang is too nosy. We can just investigate it ourselves. Why does he have to interfere? What does he want to do?" Su Yinghan said.
Zhao Lin smiled slightly: "Maybe some people don't want us to investigate?"
"Duke Weiguo's Mansion?" Su Yinghan asked immediately.
Zhao Lin nodded, then shook his head. "It doesn't matter who it is. As long as they don't jump in front of us, it has nothing to do with us. Let's all work harder and eat all the fat meat to avoid others getting jealous."
"Yes, sir!"
Su Yinghan left happily.
It would take at least a few months for the three governors and the many officials under them to handle the matter.
Unlike in Jiujiang, no one dared to resist under Zhao Lin’s accumulated power.
Although the officials from the three yamen have been arrested, they are still resisting stubbornly and refusing to cooperate.
