Chapter 499: Put into jail
The housekeeper quickly agreed and made arrangements.
However, when the housekeeper found Jiang Qingshan and told him what happened.
Jiang Qingshan suddenly stopped.
"What did you say?"
"You said the Imperial Guards have surrounded our Jiang Mansion?"
Jiang Qingshan immediately panicked.
The butler nodded.
"Yes, sir, the master is asking you to come over right now. It must be something important to discuss. You'd better go over quickly!"
However, Jiang Qingshan looked flustered.
"Then... what is the reason for the Royal Guards?"
"How would we know that? They just said there was an imperial decree, asking us to go and receive it as soon as possible."
"this……"
Jiang Qingshan still didn't want to move. He was hesitant and his tone was full of panic.
"Butler, what do you think it will be?"
The housekeeper said: "How would this old servant know? But since it has reached the level of besieging the Jiang family, it must be no small matter.
But the master is here for everything, so you don't have to worry. Now that the master has asked you to come over, he must have something to tell you, so you'd better go over quickly."
However, when Jiang Qingshan heard this, he became even more panicked.
He suddenly thought of what he had done a few days ago and felt his heart beating violently.
Could it be that what I did was exposed?
But he didn't do anything big, he just sold a piece of information.
At that time, the other party said that as long as he was given this information, he could be given an official position and guaranteed to make him proud in front of his father.
He hesitated for a long time before taking the route map from Ding Changyuan's arms and tracing it out while his father and General Ding were drunk.
However, the other party assured him that there would be absolutely no accidents. It was just that he had some conflicts with Ye Wenxi and wanted to create some obstacles for him on the road, delaying his time so that he would be punished.
Only then did he give the thing to the other party.
But now, just a few days later, this happened.
I guess the matter was exposed, so they came to arrest him.
He absolutely cannot go.
Thinking of this, he could no longer bear it, shook off the butler's hand, and rushed out.
The housekeeper had never expected Jiang Qingshan to run away and was not prepared at all.
When he wanted to catch up, he couldn't catch up at all.
Seeing that it was too late, the housekeeper sighed, stopped chasing, and hurried back to inform Jiang Chongfan.
When Jiang Chongfan learned that Jiang Qingshan had actually run away, he felt that there might be some hidden secret.
He sighed, and without saying much, he said, "Let's go!"
Having said that, he led his men to the front yard first.
At this time, Jiang Qingshan hurried back to his room, packed up his belongings, and wanted to leave.
However, when he walked to the backyard and wanted to climb over the wall to leave, he found that there were soldiers guarding outside. In the end, he could only hide in a corner of the backyard and wait until the soldiers left before he could sneak away.
At this time, Jiang Chongfan had already brought everyone in the mansion to the front yard.
Those officials who were originally about to leave were stopped here by Li Ce.
And don't want them to leave.
When Jiang Chongfan saw Li Ce, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Master Li!"
"What wind brings you..."
Li Ce took a step back and nodded to him, not wanting him to get closer.
Jiang Chongfan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Li Ce stood in front, looking at everyone, and finally said, "Master Jiang, where is your uncle?"
Jiang Chongfan then said, "My eldest son is ill and can't get out of bed. Please forgive me for not being able to come to receive your order."
Li Ce didn't say much and just gestured to his men behind him.
"Go search."
The people behind him immediately rushed in with their men.
Half an hour later.
The officers and soldiers came over dragging Jiang Qingshan, who was covered in weeds and looked disheveled.
Jiang Chongfan looked at his son's appearance and the baggage on his back, and suddenly felt very embarrassed.
He closed his eyes helplessly and sighed slightly.
I can only sigh that I was too soft-hearted and did not give up on my son.
Now, unexpectedly...
Why……
Jiang Chongfan sighed again.
At this time, Li Ce was already standing in front of the crowd and directly issued the imperial edict.
"By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees this.
The Jiang family was suspected of treason and collaborating with the enemy. By order of the Empress, all members of the Jiang family were detained pending trial.
So ordered! "
Hearing this, Jiang Chongfan suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Ce in disbelief!
"Treason?"
"How is this possible!"
"Is this a mistake?"
"Old minister, I have worked diligently and wholeheartedly for my country my entire life. Even if I have had a feud with the Empress, it is impossible for me to be a traitor!"
But Li Ce had already closed the imperial edict.
"Master Jiang, please wait until after the interrogation to discuss this matter!"
As he spoke, he looked at the other officials kneeling on the side.
"Jiang Chongfan is suspected of treason, so you are also suspected. Take them away together."
The officials' world collapsed.
They immediately shouted that it was injustice.
However, Li Ce did not listen to anyone and directly imprisoned everyone and sealed off the Jiang Mansion.
Even when Jiang Chongfan was in prison, he couldn't believe that the crime Gu Jingchun had charged him with was treason and collaborating with the enemy.
He was filled with hatred and shouted "Unjust!"
He cursed Gu Jingchun for "killing loyal and good people, which is intolerable to heaven."
At this moment, a scream was suddenly heard.
"ah--"
"It's you, isn't it?"
"Is it you?"
In the prison, the eldest lady kept beating Jiang Qingshan and questioning him loudly.
"You just said those words to me, and now this happens!
I warned you long ago not to act on your own. Last time you sacrificed yourself, and this time, you've sacrificed the entire Jiang family. You... you really... are ashamed of the Jiang family's ancestors!"
When Jiang Chongfan heard this, he remembered what his son had just done and immediately looked over.
"Qingshan!"
"Come here."
He spoke slowly, his dignity remaining undiminished even though he was in prison.
Jiang Qingshan's figure trembled, and then he slowly walked over.
"Why did you just... run away?"
Jiang Qingshan lowered his head.
"I...I'm scared!"
“Snap—”
Jiang Chongfan slapped Jiang Qingshan in the face.
"As the future patriarch of the Jiang family, when encountering a problem, instead of solving it first, you actually want to run away?
In this way, how can you be a good head of this family?"
“How to convince the public?”
Jiang Qingshan lowered his head and said nothing.
Jiang Chongfan sighed.
"Tell me the truth, does this have anything to do with you?"
Jiang Qingshan lowered his head and thought, he was not sure whether this matter was related to him, so he could not expose it.
He immediately shook his head.
"I have no idea."
Jiang Chongfan sighed.
"Forget it!"
"Go back!"
Jiang Qingshan heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this and shrank into a corner.
When the eldest lady saw him come back and was about to speak, she met Jiang Qingshan's sinister eyes.
