Chapter 449: House Confiscation
Jiang Yunze only felt a burning sensation all over his body.
When he raised his eyes, he met the sharp and cold gaze of the Left Prime Minister.
It looks like it wants to eat people.
It made him shiver all over.
The wedding is clearly approaching, but my eyelids have been twitching these days.
I always feel like something is happening.
Unexpectedly, it happened to my colleagues.
Especially when he saw his colleagues being dragged away just now, his heart was pounding.
All of these people are the colleagues who appeared at the tea party in Prajna Temple that day. Without exception, they are all ministers of King Chen.
The matter of deposing the queen was also put on hold.
This looks like someone leaked the information.
But why did the Left Prime Minister look at him like this? The leak had nothing to do with him.
Jiang Yunze looked around and found that the Left Prime Minister was looking at him.
And his eyes looked a little unfriendly.
Could it be that you are doubting him?
Jiang Yunze lowered his head and thought back to what happened that day.
The only suspicious ones are the rebellious daughter in his family and the boy from the Yan family.
He slipped away as soon as he came out of the Prajna Temple and even sneaked into the palace.
There has been no news since then.
But the people who leaked the secret couldn't possibly be two kids who were still wet behind the ears. People were also ordered to keep an eye on the two kids, and they couldn't even get close to the attic.
Besides, the library was guarded, and colleagues left one after another after the tea party.
It's unlikely to be them, they don't have that ability.
He was very sure that there must be someone else as the spy.
Yan Xiang glared at Jiang Yunze fiercely.
This guy actually dared to betray him.
He is not like those fools in the Qi family, who were bitten back by this guy and ended up with their families destroyed.
What he hates most in his life is this kind of ungrateful person who repays kindness with enmity.
This kind of wolf is the most selfish and ruthless. No matter how much benefits you give it, it will never be tamed, let alone loyalty.
Anyone who betrays him will not have a good ending.
Yan Xiang withdrew his gaze, turned around and looked at Cui Yan meaningfully.
This guy is not a good person either.
He just wants to take advantage of the conflict between the two.
But this time, his wish came true.
Regardless of whether Jiang Yunze had the intention of betraying them or not, it was because of him that the secret was leaked, causing him to suffer heavy losses and causing their plans for several days to fail.
The crime is unforgivable.
This time, while the emperor is still asleep, he can use Cui Yan to get rid of Jiang Yunze.
He walked over and stood opposite Cui Yan: "Prime Minister Cui, you can't protect Jiang Yunze just because his son is your father's student."
Cui Yan was surprised: "Why does Minister Yan say that?"
"Everyone knows that Jiang Yunze is a poor parent and has a concubine who disobeyed the imperial order and ran away without permission. He himself might even be suspected of harboring a criminal, and according to the law, he should be held accountable as well."
Cui Yan raised an eyebrow. "But the Emperor didn't punish him, he only fined him. What grounds does Minister Yan have for punishing him?"
They are all thousand-year-old foxes. How could this old man Yan Fu not have some leverage over the other party when he employs them?
The two people who usually argue with each other reached a consensus on this matter.
Both sides understood each other's intentions.
"I heard that there is an antique shop, a pawnshop, and a gambling house in the east of the city. The three shops are next to each other. When the Spring Examination is approaching, students often go to the pawnshop to pawn some valuable famous paintings and calligraphy and jewelry. However, they only charge 10% of the pawned items, and they are all fixed pawns. Within seven days, those priceless treasures will appear in the antique shop next door and be sold at a high price. Guess what?" Yan Xiang asked a riddle.
Not to mention that Jiang Yunze is insidious and cunning, it's also a pity that he can come up with such a clever way of bribery.
Even he admires it.
"Could it be that these antique calligraphy and paintings were bought by those students at high prices again?" Cui Yan had heard his daughter mention this method of making money.
When Miaomiao was in Jiangzhou, she saw Jiang Yunze's concubine and illegitimate daughter having sex.
I thought that the mother and daughter had died and no one would use them anymore, but I didn't expect them to appear again near the Spring Examination.
He understood the strangeness without even thinking about it.
Some children from wealthy families wanted to bribe Jiang Yunze before the imperial examination, so they used this method to give Jiang Yunze money without anyone knowing.
Even if you check, you won’t find anything.
What’s even more hateful is that pawnshops and gambling houses are located next to each other, fully grasping the psychology of gamblers, and the gambling house owners and pawnshop owners make a fortune.
However, countless people have lost their fortunes, sold their children, and their families have been broken up.
This kind of trend must be eradicated.
Xiang Yan was a little surprised that Cui Yan actually knew about it and must have paid attention to it.
"Prime Minister Cui, why don't you investigate who is behind this and what kind of private transactions they have?"
"No need for Prime Minister Yan to worry about this." Cui Yan would of course check it out.
He just likes to watch dogs fight each other and get a mouth full of fur.
Jiang Yunze, who was standing at the back, only saw the two prime ministers talking to each other.
I just didn't hear what was said specifically.
But his heart had already flown away at this moment, and he was thinking about the wedding in two days.
After the court meeting, he should ask for leave from his superiors and go home to prepare for the wedding.
If the emperor really passed away, his marriage would have to be postponed. For this marriage, he had paid a lot of betrothal money and several carts of betrothal gifts.
Even though the Jiang Mansion is now supported by those shops, it is not a long-term solution.
After the Spring Examination, I'm afraid this business will not be easy to do.
No matter how much money you make, it can't compare to the dowry of the eldest daughter of the marquis's family.
In the blink of an eye.
Two days passed.
It was Jiang Yunze’s wedding day.
Because the emperor's condition had not yet improved, officials did not dare to hold a grand celebration even if there was a big happy event.
Don't dare to offend bad luck.
So it was held in a low-key manner and many people were invited.
But not many people came.
He also went to Zhou's house in person to pick up the bride.
Zhou Mu never gave him a good look from the beginning to the end. He wrote one poem after another to urge the bride to get married before he finally got the bride.
The bride admired Jiang Yunze's talent.
She felt that her brother was making things difficult for her new husband, and fearing that her husband would be too embarrassed, she spoke out to stop her brother.
Zhou Mu could only sigh as he watched the wedding procession going away.
He thought of countless ways to prevent his elder sister from marrying Jiang Yunze, and even wrote a letter to Jiang Yunze in his elder sister's handwriting, asking him to drive away his childhood sweetheart and concubine.
I didn't expect that this person was so heartless and drove the person away.
He even wanted to knock his eldest sister unconscious and send her away.
But she saw through it.
The brother and sister almost had a rift over this.
He had no other choice but to select a few strong maids and clever dowry maids to follow him.
This will also allow her to suffer less in the Jiang family.
evening.
At dusk.
Jiang Yunze happily took the bride back and prepared to get married.
I had long forgotten about Tao Tao and her daughter.
As night fell and the sky gradually darkened, everyone in the mansion went to the front hall to watch the ceremony.
It's a good time to escape.
Tao Tao sent away all the maids in the house, taking only a trustworthy little servant with her, and bribed the doorman.
He fled overnight with his daughter in his arms.
When we got on the carriage and passed by the gate of Jiang Mansion, we saw the eaves covered with red and colorful decorations, and the courtyard was very lively.
There was also a sound of worshiping heaven and earth.
But it had nothing to do with her anymore.
Suddenly, a group of soldiers holding torches came towards them. Some of them rushed into Jiang's house, and the rest surrounded it from the outside.
The mansion, which was originally quite lively, was now deserted by all the guests.
Then I heard the sound of smashing and smashing from inside.
Screams and a woman's crying.
Then I saw officers and soldiers coming out one after another carrying large boxes.
Tao Tao was shocked.
This... this is a house raid!
