Chapter 500: Outbreak
Ever since Jiang Qingshan strangled her last time, the eldest lady's madness seemed to have healed and she no longer had an attack.
Now seeing Jiang Qingshan’s sinister eyes, it was as if I was back to that suffocating moment.
She stopped talking and huddled in the corner, looking completely frightened.
Jiang Chongfan looked at the nearly one hundred members of the Jiang family huddled in this dark and damp dungeon.
I felt my blood boiling, and the hatred towards Gu Jingchun in my heart reached its peak at this moment.
"Gu Jingchun, you have murdered loyal people and harmed the entire Jiang family. This is unforgivable!"
Jiang Chongfan's old words were full of tears, making people sigh and cry.
And just at this moment, Gu Jingchun's voice rang out.
"Jiang Chongfan, it's already come to this, do you still think that I am framing you?"
When Jiang Chongfan saw Gu Jingchun coming out, he immediately shouted angrily.
"Isn't it?"
"Gu Jingchun, you are accusing me like this. Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's punishment when he returns?"
Gu Jingchun snorted coldly.
"Jiang Chongfan, you formed a clique for personal gain, secretly lured court officials to your side, and attempted to control government affairs. Now you are secretly communicating with Da Qi, intending to burn our Dacheng's food supplies.
All these things are laid out before you, are you still going to accuse me of framing you?"
Jiang Chongfan snorted coldly.
"It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of something! I won over a few court officials for the sake of our Dacheng's future. But you actually accused me of having an affair with the Great Qi. That's simply unbelievable!"
"You are simply insulting me. Even if I die, I will never have an affair with Da Qi."
Gu Jingchun chuckled.
"Really?"
"That's not necessarily true."
"Master Jiang, you won't do it, but that doesn't mean that other people in your Jiang family won't do it."
As Gu Jingchun spoke, he sat down on the chair that had just been moved over.
"This is the secret letter I just received."
"Lord Ye was attacked while transporting grain, and half of the grain was burned.
After investigation, it was learned that the route they used to transport food and fodder was leaked by Ding Changyuan.
And the only place Ding Changyuan went to was your Jiang Mansion.
According to his description, he fell asleep after drinking at your house, and then several oily handprints appeared on this route map."
"The fingerprints are obvious. How about we compare them with everyone in your house, Lord Jiang?"
As Gu Jingchun spoke, Jiang Chongfan's expression had subtly changed.
As Gu Jingchun spoke, he had already taken out the route map and showed it to Jiang Chongfan. He then instructed the people around him to take the parchment and have everyone in the Jiang family put their fingerprints on it one by one.
As Gu Jingchun spoke, he ordered someone to bring up the two bodies.
"This is the person who went to burn the food and grass. I have already checked and they are indeed from Da Qi."
"Master Jiang can check it out personally."
Jiang Chongfan followed Gu Jingchun's gaze and looked at the two corpses.
Judging from the appearance of those two people, they are indeed from Da Qi.
At this time, Jiang Qingshan was hiding behind the crowd, shaking his head in panic.
"I...I don't...I don't press..."
The sudden sound made Jiang Chongfan turn around.
When he saw his son's appearance and thought of his panic at the beginning, the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Seeing his reaction, Gu Jingchun was confused.
He smiled immediately.
"Master Jiang, I don't need to tell you the truth!"
Jiang Chongfan quickly stood up, rushed to Jiang Qingshan and pulled him up.
"Jiang Qingshan, what do you mean?"
"Why don't you put your fingerprints on it?"
"Why?"
Jiang Qingshan was so frightened by Jiang Chongfan's appearance that his whole body was shaking.
"I...I'm scared, I don't dare!"
"What are you afraid of?"
"You dare not what?!"
Jiang Chongfan shouted.
But Jiang Qingshan kept shaking his head, tears streaming down his face.
"Tell me the truth quickly. Does this have anything to do with you?"
Jiang Qingshan just kept looking at him without saying a word.
Jiang Chongfan raised his voice.
"you say!"
Jiang Qingshan was so frightened that he almost knelt down, but his body was held by Jiang Chongfan and he couldn't kneel down at all.
Gu Jingchun walked over.
"Master Jiang, you don't need to ask any more questions. Just press a hand seal and everything will be clear."
Jiang Qingshan shook his head, full of resistance.
Jiang Chongfan sighed and tried to calm himself down.
"Have I ever told you that you can be stupid, not smart, but there is one bottom line you cannot cross: you must not betray your country! You must not betray your country!"
Jiang Qingshan nodded while crying.
"I...I remember."
"Then why do you still do such a thing?"
Jiang Qingshan sobbed and finally spoke: "I... I didn't know... the other party was from Da Qi..."
Jiang Chongfan was stunned and lost his strength in an instant.
Jiang Qingshan also slowly knelt down.
"The person who handed it over to me was not from Da Qi. He said... he said he just had a grudge against Ye Wenxi, and he just... just wanted to make Ye Wenxi suffer a little."
"I...I didn't know things would turn out like this."
When Jiang Chongfan heard this, he closed his eyes in despair.
"Are you...are you a fool?"
"Regardless of whether the enemy is from Da Qi or not, as long as his goal is food and fodder, it means that the final outcome will be disadvantageous to us Dacheng.
If we delay the supply of food, our great army might be defeated. Who will benefit in the end?"
Jiang Chongfan shouted angrily.
"It's Da Qi!"
"It's such a simple truth, can't you figure it out?"
Jiang Qingshan looked at Jiang Chongfan with tears in his eyes.
Jiang Chongfan couldn't bear it any longer and slapped him in the face.
“Snap—”
“You…you…you really are…”
"You've really ruined our whole family!"
Jiang Chongfan burst into tears in an instant.
He looked at his son, a child whom he knew was stupid but whom he had never been willing to give up on.
Finally, at this moment, the entire Jiang family was destroyed.
He suddenly stretched out his hand.
A slap hit his face.
In an instant, everyone screamed.
No one else in the Jiang family had ever thought that all this was because of Jiang Qingshan, who had always been honest and obedient.
Jiang Chongfan was full of guilt.
"It's all my fault!"
"It's all my fault!"
"I've known for a long time that you don't have the talent to inherit the family head's rank, but I still force you and drive you away, wanting you to support this family.
If, I gave up on you at the very beginning...at the very beginning, maybe... maybe..."
"right!"
When Jiang Qingshan heard this, he suddenly shouted loudly.
"Yes, it's because of you!"
"Do you know why I do this?"
"Because that man promised me that if I gave him the road map, he would give me an official position!"
"Because of that official position!"
