"Who is coming?" asked the knife-holder.

"The monk who begs for alms." Chang Jian replied.

"What are you doing?" the knife-holder continued to ask.

Chang Jian replied: "Come and send vegetarian food."

"How many taels of vegetarian rice are there?" asked the knife-holder.

"Three or two steamed buns, one." Chang Jian replied.

After the secret code was met, the big man took back the knife and said, "Come in with me."

Chang Jian walked in with two subordinates. There was only an oil lamp lit in the room, covered in dust. There were seven strong men in it. In the middle, there was a bald man with dark skin. Behind him were six strong men with tilted heads and slanted eyes, holding big swords.

The strong man sitting asked, "Does the money be brought?"

Chang Jian smiled and said, "The silver notes were naturally ready, but this trip was not brought."

"What does it mean? If you didn't bring the money, why are you here?" The bald strong man slapped the table and stood up. The strong man behind him pulled out a knife.

Chang Jian showed panic on his face and took a step back, "This brother, please calm down, this matter... We lord said that if you want to see people and die, you can't tell me it. We have to give you the money, right?"

"Is this not trusting us brothers?" The bald strong man stared at Chang Jian with fierce eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Brother, this is not a question of whether you believe it or not. You can do business and deliver it in the other hand. This is the rule of this industry, right?" Chang Yan swallowed his saliva and made a timid but hard-working posture.

"The goods have fallen into the river and we can't deliver them. You insist on letting us deliver them. This is to make things difficult for our brothers." The bald and strong man said arrogantly.

"Brother, if you don't have goods, it's impossible for us to give you money." Chang Yan's answer was also straightforward.

"His grandma, it seems that you are not going to walk out of this door." The bald strong man cursed.

"Brother, the three of us brothers are errands. The decision is ours. Even if you kill us, you will not get the money. Besides, we are still waiting for us to go back and report our lives. If we can't wait for us to go back, I'm afraid that our lives will have to stay in Jindu." Chang Jian took another step back and acted like a fierce and cowardly person.

"His grandma, are you scaring me?" The strong man with black face waved his knife and was about to chop Chang Yan.

The bald strong man stopped him, stared at Chang Jian and asked, "As you said, are you sir?"

"Brother, you have to see people alive and die with corpses. What we lord mean is that when you deliver the goods, he will give you money. If you have goods, there will be silver notes. If there is no goods, everything will be free of negotiation." Chang Yan deliberately angered them.

"His grandma, I know that officials never speak trust." The strong man with black face said angrily.

The bald strong man sneered: "When you go back, tell someone surnamed Jiang that I never do a loss-making business. He dares to ignorant of the hard money of his brothers. He is brave enough. You can wash his neck and wait for me."

"Brother, can we leave?" Chang Jian asked with a smile.

"Get out." The bald strong man shouted.

Chang Jian took his two subordinates away quickly and arrived outside the deserted house. Chang Jian asked his two subordinates to ambush secretly. As soon as he returned to the house, the three tied people collapsed on the ground like dead dogs. When Chang Jian came in, his eyes were complicated.

Chang Jian signaled his men to take off the rag where the three of them were stuffed with their mouths and said, "I can let you go back."

The three of them were ecstatic first, then showed a disbelief expression and asked questioningly: "Sir, do you really let us go back?"

"I'll find a place to bury you after killing you. I don't want to be so troublesome, but you should also know that if you lost your money and the matter was not done well, Lord Jiang will definitely not let you go." Chang Jian said bluntly.

The three of them looked as if dead.

"Even if we don't interfere in this matter, you should be very clear when you get things done. You will definitely be silenced or beaten far away." Chang Jian speculated about the fate of the three of them.

The three of them were silent for a moment, and the man in the center said, "Our leader said that after the matter is done, we will give each of us a sum of money and arrange for us to leave Jindu overnight."

Chang Jian took out a stack of silver notes and placed them in front of the three of them, "You have divided these silver notes, and go back to report, and say that the matter is done, and then take two pieces of silver to fly away. When you, Lord Zuo, noticed something wrong, you have left Jindu. Why worry about the great world?

The three of them were still hesitating, Chang Yan snorted coldly and said, "You are willing to go back with the silver notes, but you will die here, think about it carefully."

Who can live, who wants to die?

The three of them said in unison: "Let's go back!"

Chang Jian asked his subordinates to loosen their ties, watched them grab the silver notes, hurriedly left, and disappeared into the night. Chang Jian took off the cloth covering his face and said, "Go back and report to Master."

Xu Lang was writing in the study in the outer courtyard, and Chang Yan flashed in, "Master, the matter is done. This is the silver note that my subordinates searched for from those people."

Xu Lang estimated it and said, "There are tens of thousands of taels. Jiang Chongrui has embezzled a lot over the years. You have used it to share with your brothers. Thank you all these days."

"So many are all divided?" Chang Jian asked in surprise.

"Your mistress said that you are a little older and it's time to save some money to get married. Save all the money, don't spend it randomly." Xu Lang said.

"Oh." Chang Jian responded and put away the bill, "Master, what should I do next?"

"No need to do anything for the time being, it's hard for those people in the martial arts world to wait for." Xu Lang thought for a while, "Please sort out Jiang Chongrui's crimes and send them to Jingshi Cheng."

Chang Yan took the order and left.

Xu Lang stood up, went back to Lingxiyuan, entered the room, and saw Shen Danxia looking through the booklet, "What are you looking at when you don't sleep at night?"

Shen Danxia put down the booklet in his hand, "I didn't read anything, I'm waiting for you. I'm bored, just flip through it."

"Miss I have been waiting for a long time." Xu Lang said with a smile.

Shen Danxia spread his hand and said, "Come in."

The wife had such a request, so Xu Lang, a good husband, naturally had to be satisfied. She carried her into the bedroom and placed it on the bed. The two of them were still in the filial piety period and could not have a good time. After kissing her, they each wrapped themselves in a quilt and fell asleep.

A few days later, a hero from the martial arts world arrived at Jindu Mansion and sued Jiang Chongrui, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and hired him to pretend to be a refugee and attack the King of Yan, causing the King of Yan to be missing now, and his life and death are unknown. "Sir, the young man doesn't know who ordered him, the young man only knew that the young man was from the Jiang Mansion. Now that the matter is done, they don't pay the money. The young man really has no choice. The young man can't get the money. When he goes back, the eldest will definitely not spare the young man. The one on the left is dead. The young man is willing to sacrifice himself and will also pull the bastard who is tying up to death, and he will die."

The person who complained was very clear, but the Jindu prefect who took the case was one and two big shots, and he could not handle the case. Xu Lang obviously did not expect that the group of murderers would use this trick of killing 8,000 enemies to lose 10,000 yuan. "These murderers are cruel to others and even more cruel to themselves, but unfortunately they are useless."

The case was too bizarre and involved the life and death of the King of Yan. It spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jindu in just half a day. Jiang Chongrui did not know that he was in trouble, and he was still enjoying the service of several concubines at home, happily doing the dream of the second prince becoming emperor in the future and becoming the Duke of the country.

"Sir... something is wrong." The confidant rushed in.

"What's so panicked?" Jiang Chongrui lay on the couch, opened his eyes, and glanced at his confidant.

"Sir, a bandit went to the Jindu Prefecture Office and sued you." The confidant said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"What bandit? What are you suing me?" Jiang Chongrui sat up and asked in confusion.

"That's just those who pretend to be refugees, they sue the adults and make money and do things for you, but you don't pay." The confidant said stutteringly.

Jiang Chongrui was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had given the money. Why did those people say he didn't give it? He jumped off the couch, "This is a plan for me, please come and find the three people who are doing business."

"Sir, they have already left the capital and are missing." The confidant replied.

Jiang Chongrui was even more convinced that he was plotted by someone. After walking around twice, he calmed down a little, and said, "No one will take it seriously if a bandit is said to have no evidence. There will be no trouble, no trouble."

Prince Shen knew that Jiang Chongrui had been sued, and was too anxious. He vaguely felt that this was just the beginning and would be more troublesome later. His premonition was soon fulfilled. The hero who sued Jiang Chongrui was asked to falsely accuse the imperial court of his official position because there was no conclusive evidence. He was sent to prison and was waiting for the death of Qiu Hou to behead him.

The bald and strong man didn't expect this to be the result. After some inquiries, he decided to kidnap Jiang Chongrui's son. Jiang Chongrui took a six-bedroom concubine and finally gave birth to this precious son Jiang Tianci. He secretly monitored the bald and strong man and realized his intention and quickly reported to Xu Lang.

Although Jiang Chongrui was abominable, his two-year-old son was innocent. Xu Lang was unwilling to involve the child, but it seemed inappropriate to ask him to send someone to protect the child. Xu Lang thought for a while and said, "Those people are extremely vicious. The child is in their hands, and there is only a dead end. Arrange people to kidnap the child first."

Chang Yan continued to make arrangements as he said.

Before Jiang Tianci was abducted, Cheng Jue impeached Jiang Chongrui for corruption and prostitutes. These days, the emperor has been depressed because of the uncle of Yan's life and death. Unexpectedly, Jiang Chongrui would be related to this matter. Although the bandit could not provide evidence, the emperor did not necessarily need to make a real evidence to ask a minister for his crime. Besides, why didn't the bandit get involved with others, but instead of Jiang Chongrui?

Cheng Jue's impeachment of Jiang Chongrui was like giving a pillow to the emperor who was about to sleep. It was deeply appreciated by my wish. The emperor waved his hand and ordered the three officials to investigate thoroughly. Although Xu Lang did not pay attention to Jiang Chongrui, his ants were collecting information about officials above the third rank in the court; Cheng Jue's impeachment of the person was never aimless. Jiang Chongrui's embezzlement of public funds was a foregone conclusion, and the crime of greed for bribery and rape.

Jiang Chongrui was put into prison, and he was sitting in the prison, puzzled. How did the matter come to this point? Before he could figure it out, his family visited the prison and told him that Tianci was gone. Jiang Chongrui shouted anxiously: "Why did it disappear? Is there any official report? Did someone go find him?"

"Yesterday afternoon, Tianci clamored to eat Candy Painting. The wet nurse took him out. When the wet nurse put him down and paid the money to the stall owner, Tianci disappeared in the blink of an eye. I had already reported to the official and had someone searched everywhere, but I couldn't find it." Mrs. Jiang replied.

"Does anyone come and ask you for a ransom?" Jiang Chongrui asked.

Mrs. Jiang shook her head, "No."

Jiang Chongrui frowned, what kidnapped his son? What did the person who kidnapped his son want to do? If he didn't seek money, what would he get? He was confused, his son was more important than his life. If something happened to his son, what hope would the Jiang family still have?

"Master, what should I do now?" Mrs. Jiang was originally an unintentional one, but now that Jiang Chongrui was imprisoned, she became even more panicked.

"You go back and wait." Jiang Chongrui didn't know what to do.

After Mrs. Jiang left, a prison guard appeared in front of Jiang Chongrui, "Mr. Jiang, someone asked me to bring you a word."

Jiang Chongrui looked up at him and asked, "Who asked you to bring me a message?"

"You don't have to worry about this." The jailer laughed dryly, "The person who asked me to tell me that as long as Lord Jiang confessed the person behind the scenes who killed King Yan, the son would come back, otherwise Lord Jiang would wait to collect the body."

Jiang Chongrui suddenly stood up, rushed to the side of the prison railing, and grabbed the wooden pillar, "Who is the person who asked you to bring the conversation? Why should I grab my son?"

"Mr. Jiang, I will not answer you these two questions." The jailer said coldly.

Jiang Chongrui gasped for a few breaths, put his head on the wooden pillar, and thought for a long time, "I can listen to them, but after they are in trouble in the Jiang family, they must ensure that God can be safe and sound." He confessed that Prince Shen came, which was equivalent to admitting to buying a villain to kill the King of Yan; this was a serious crime, a crime that was more serious than corruption, and the house would be searched and killed, but in order to protect the only bloodline of the Jiang family, he had no choice.

"No problem." The jailer agreed.

Prince Shen was in trouble with Jiang Chongrui's confession. Prince Shen tried his best to deny that he asked Jiang Chongrui to hire a murderer to murder King Yan. In fact, he did not lie. Jiang Chongrui did this first before telling him. The mastermind should be Jiang Chongrui. He just knew the truth afterwards and did not report it. But the emperor did not believe it. If he hadn't had four sons, the life and death of King Yan was unknown now, Prince Shen would definitely have a way out.

The emperor did not want to lose another son, and Empress Zhao hoped that King Yan would die. Prince Shen's move was deeply rooted in her opinion and did not ask the emperor to severely punish Prince Shen. Prince Shen was demoted to a commoner and his family was sent to the imperial tomb to guard the tomb for the late emperor, which was equivalent to being enclosed in the imperial tomb.

Jiang Chongrui's plot to murder the prince was a very unforgivable crime. According to the law, the emperor wanted to kill the nine clans. He thought that Jiang Guiren was serving in the palace for many years, but he only put all the members of the Jiang family in prison and his family property was confiscated.

That morning, Qing'er made a pair of shoes for Shen Danxia. Shen Danxia was trying it on. Qingxiang came in and reported: "Mrs. Lu is here, please see her."

Shen Danxia frowned, "Mrs. Lu? Who is it?"

"It's Miss Jiang Shuilingjiang." Mo Si reminded her.

Shen Danxia patted her forehead. She didn't have any contacts for so many years, but she didn't remember that Jiang Shuiling married the surname Lu; those who had not been in contact for many years suddenly came to visit, and it was obvious that she would not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. Shen Danxia changed her clothes and went out to see the guests.

As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Shuiling knelt down, "Shen Jiu, please save my mother."
