Chapter 497: Siege of Jiang Mansion
Ding Changyuan nodded and could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart and leave everything to fate.
At this moment, after receiving Ye Wenxi's message, Gu Jingchun immediately chuckled.
"Great! Someone brought me a pillow just when I was sleepy."
She had originally discussed with Ye Wenxi to set out in two groups just in case, but unexpectedly they caught a big fish.
She stood up immediately.
"Someone come!"
Li Ce stood up.
Before leaving, Chen Hechuan handed over Luo Ziqian's position in the Imperial Guard to Li Ce.
"Bring people to surround the Jiang residence and take all the members of the Jiang family to jail."
Li Ce looked up in surprise when he heard this, but when he met Gu Jingchun's gaze, he immediately lowered his head.
I thought to myself, how come the Empress's eyes are sharper than the late Emperor's?
Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated and immediately led her men towards the Jiang Mansion.
Today is a big day for the Jiang family.
It was also Jiang Chongfan’s 60th birthday.
But because this is a special period, there is no big celebration, just a simple meal for the family.
However, many officials from the court still came to pay their respects.
It's also very lively at this moment.
Jiang Chongfan was sitting in the front hall, discussing matters with several close ministers.
"Your Majesty has been away from Tiandu for over half a year, and there's no telling how long this war will end. Does that mean the Empress will always be in charge of state affairs?"
"This... this is outrageous! When did our Dacheng become a country ruled by women?"
One of the ministers spoke, and the other officials nodded.
Jiang Chongfan stroked his beard and exhaled slowly.
"The Empress Dowager is deeply trusted by His Majesty. This is inevitable. If we want to avoid the Empress's dominance, His Majesty must return as soon as possible."
Jiang Qingshan was standing beside Jiang Chongfan. When he heard this, his fingers moved slightly.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.
"This Jiang family is... harmful... well..."
Jiang Chongfan frowned slightly when he heard the noise and glanced at Jiang Qingshan indifferently.
Jiang Qingshan immediately understood what he meant and stepped back to deal with it.
backyard.
Mrs. Jiang was finally dragged back by the old woman.
Shen Qingshan came over with a gloomy face and asked, "How do you do things?"
"Today is such an important day, and you actually let him go!"
Several old women quickly knelt on the ground.
"My Lord, this old servant was also careless for a moment."
"The Madam just deliberately smeared her feces and urine on the mattress. The old slaves were busy cleaning it up, so they didn't keep a close eye on it and let her escape."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshan subconsciously took a step back and covered his nose.
"Be careful in the future. If something goes wrong, can you afford it?"
But the eldest lady suddenly went crazy. She stepped forward, grabbed Shen Qingshan's collar, and slapped him in the face.
"Shen Qingshan, you are a coward. You do whatever your father tells you to do. Are you a piece of wood?"
"Don't you have a mind of your own?"
"Your own daughter was killed by him, why are you still so submissive? Shouldn't you avenge your daughter?"
"With your timid appearance, how can you be the head of this family in the future?"
But Shen Qingshan suddenly yelled.
"Yes, I am a coward. I can't do anything!"
“I can’t do anything right.”
"You say I'm not a good husband, my daughter says I'm not a good father, my father says I'm not a good son, everyone thinks I'm not worthy of being the head of the family!"
"But what have I done wrong?"
"I really want to do well, but the more I do, the worse I get!"
"Every one of you is blaming me!"
"But have any of you ever cared about my feelings?"
"I am a human being!"
"I have my own thoughts, why should I live according to your wishes?"
"From today on, no one of you can blame me, or I'll kill you if I see you!"
The eldest lady was completely frightened.
He stared at Shen Qingshan blankly, as if it was the first time he saw this expression on Shen Qingshan's face.
But Shen Qingshan had a ferocious look on his face.
"Soon, I will let you know that I, Shen Qingshan, am the most far-sighted and courageous person in the Jiang family.
I want to let you know that everything you said before was wrong.
I also want to let Dad know that even without asking him or relying on him, I can plan a good rebellion for the future of our Jiang family."
Mrs. Jiang stared at him blankly, and her expression became clear for a moment, and she was no longer crazy at that moment.
I went forward to support him and kept asking him questions.
"Qingshan, what are you doing?"
"Don't scare me, have you forgotten?
Last time, you didn't tell your father and secretly went to Guiyuan Sect, and ended up getting beaten and having your vitals broken. And now you haven't learned your lesson and are still acting on your own. Do you want to die?"
"Are you going to involve the entire Jiang family in this?"
When Jiang Qingshan heard this, his expression immediately changed.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
As he spoke, he grabbed the eldest lady's neck.
"I know you've always looked down on me and called me a coward, but today I want to let you know that I, Jiang Qingshan, can also do things!"
As he spoke, he continued to squeeze the eldest lady's fingers with greater force.
When the two old women saw this, they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Master, please let go. You're almost strangling the Madam to death."
At this time, the eldest lady's eyes had rolled up and her face turned blue.
Jiang Qingshan saw this and let go.
"If you don't know how to speak again in the future, I will kill you with my own hands."
The eldest lady finally got a chance to breathe. She knelt on the ground, covering her neck and looking at him angrily.
But Jiang Qingshan didn't even look at her and just left.
At this moment, hundreds of imperial guards suddenly appeared and surrounded the Jiang Mansion.
When the servants of the Jiang Mansion saw this, they immediately shouted, "Who are you? Who asked you to come here? Where are you?"
At this moment, Li Ce came over on horseback.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Suddenly, everyone shut up.
At this time, Jiang Chongfan was still telling other court officials about Gu Jingchun.
The housekeeper suddenly ran over.
"Master, something bad has happened. The Imperial Guards have suddenly surrounded our Jiang Mansion."
Jiang Chongfan stood up suddenly.
"What happened?"
"I don't know. The leader of the Imperial Guards is holding the imperial edict..."
The officials around looked at each other and stood up one after another.
"Master Jiang, since you have something to do, I will leave first."
Jiang Chongfan nodded and tried to calm himself down.
"good."
After they left, he immediately said:
"Don't panic. Go and calm Lord Li first, then call the master over immediately and gather all the people in the mansion to receive the order."
