Chapter 193 I want to kill someone
Isn’t Jiang Qingzhi at home today?
Emperor Jiajing granted Jiang Qingzhi a vacation, which was why Lu Bing acted so vigorously... While Jiang Qingzhi was at home, he took down Wang Yiqi first.
But Jiang Qingzhi is here!
Lu Bing glanced at Wang Yiqi.
"Stop!"
Several Jinyiwei outside stopped them.
"Let him..." Lu Bing just opened his mouth when he heard someone outside roaring, "Whoever dares to be rude to my young master, get out!"
Choking!
Amid the sound of swords being drawn, several screams were heard.
Then Jiang Qingzhi walked in.
Lu Bing stood up suddenly, "How dare you do that?"
The Jinyiwei were here to investigate the case, and anyone who took action would be slapping Emperor Jiajing in the face.
But Jiang Qingzhi is different.
He is one of the two people responsible for this matter.
So after coming in, Jiang Qingzhi sat down and said, "Old Wang, where's the tea?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wang Yiqi stood up with a smile and personally made tea for Jiang Qingzhi.
Zhu Hao strode in, looked at Jiang Qingzhi, leaned over and whispered to Lu Bing, "Three brothers, three stabs, all of them injured the tendons, but the bleeding was not much. But the hands are broken."
So cruel!
"Look for an opportunity to strike."
Those three men were Lu Bing's trusted fighters. Their tendons were broken, and they became disabled as well, which made him very distressed.
"Dog thief!"
There were people shouting and cursing outside.
"It's Ding Qing!" Zhu Hao said happily: "This kid is here."
Ding Qing is a new expert in the Jinyiwei. When he just joined the Jinyiwei, his swordsmanship was praised by Lu Bing. Now he is just training and after a while, he will be promoted to a captain.
These are Lu Bing’s foundation in the Jinyiwei.
"Sun Chonglou's attack seemed swift, but it consumed a lot of energy and blood. This is an opportunity." Zhu Hao turned and went out.
Lu Bing looked at Jiang Qingzhi, "This is a competition."
Don’t be surprised by casualties!
"Of course, Long Wei Bur can refuse," Lu Bing said.
Jiang Qingzhi nodded, "Okay."
Lu Bing stood up and said, "Go out and take a look."
Zhu Hao shouted from outside the door: "It doesn't matter whether he lives or dies."
The light of the knife flashed.
Just as Sun Chonglou was about to take action, someone rushed out from behind him.
Jiang Qingzhi and two others just happened to walk out.
Then I saw two long swords crossing each other.
The other party was the general flag of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the opponent was Jiang Qingzhi's guards.
"There are good fighters among Jiang Qingzhi's guards, but they are no match for Ding Qing." Zhu Hao whispered to Lu Bing.
As for their mortal enemies, once the Jinyiwei put in the effort to investigate, there was no information they could not find.
Lu Bing glanced at Jiang Qingzhi and said, "Seeing blood so early in the morning, how does Lord Wei feel about that?"
"Old Lu, do you know why I don't like you?" Jiang Qingzhi said lazily, "You are too sinister. Even Cui Yuan can clearly tell what you like and dislike. But you are like a poisonous snake. You think it's fun to hide in the dark and secretly spit venom at people. In fact... it's ridiculous!"
Two people passed each other in front.
Ding Qing stood with his back to the crowd.
The guard strode over and knelt on one knee.
"My Lord, I have accomplished my mission!"
puff!
Ding Qing fell heavily to the ground.
Blood slowly flowed out from under my body...
Ding Qing is an excellent swordsman, but he can't withstand a blow from Jiang Qingzhi's bodyguard?
The Jinyiwei knew the source of Jiang Qingzhi's guards. They were all those who were eliminated when Emperor Jiajing was selecting guards.
The general background of these people has been checked, and no one can be a match for Ding Qing in a one-on-one fight, no, except Sun Chonglou.
At this time, a Jinyiwei came over and whispered, "This person is new."
Zhu Hao's eyes narrowed, knowing that he had failed in his duty.
He walked up to Lu Bing and whispered in his ear, "It's the new guard."
Lu Bing was extremely angry, but he smiled and said, "This man is brave and has sharp swordsmanship. What's his name?"
The guard just looked at Jiang Qingzhi.
Jiang Qingzhi said calmly: "Tell him!"
The guard stood up.
"I am Mo Zhan!"
Someone in the Jinyiwei whispered, "It's Xuanfu's number one swordsman!"
……
"Your Majesty, Chang Wei Bo went to the Ministry of War and had a big fight with the Royal Guards. Someone was killed."
The Jinyiwei and Jiang Qingzhi were in charge of this case, while Rui Jingxian's Dongchang was monitoring it.
Emperor Jiajing said, "Lu Bing is too anxious. Qingzhi is a fool who likes to pour cold water on others when they are proud. I guess the Jinyiwei couldn't help but provoke him first?"
Rui Jingxian was convinced by his judgment, which seemed to be witnessed with his own eyes. "Your Majesty has a sharp eye, that's right. A general flag of the Jinyiwei was killed by the guards of Chang Wei Bo."
"That's fine too."
Rui Jingxian retreated quietly, and Huang Jin followed closely.
The two stood side by side.
"I'm very curious why you didn't take the opportunity to flatter Lu Bing." Huang Jin said.
"I am also curious. You and Lu Bing are relatives, but you don't say anything good for him." Rui Jingxian retorted.
"We only have eyes for His Majesty." Huang Jin said calmly, "Now the Ministry of War has become a battlefield between the Jinyiwei and Jiang Qingzhi, be careful not to get hurt."
"We know you are a mean person. Although you seem to be estranged from Lu Bing, you are still connected to each other. Don't deny it!" Rui Jingxian turned sideways and said to Huang Jin with a half-smile, "You have been by His Majesty's side for many years. You must know that favor is only temporary. If you often walk on the road at night, you will inevitably encounter ghosts."
Huang Jin was indifferent.
"Take care of yourself!"
Rui Jingxian strode down the stairs and met with several of his men.
"Go to the Ministry of War."
……
The smell of blood outside the duty room of Wang Yiqi of the Ministry of War was so nauseating that it could not be dissipated even after flushing more than ten times. According to Sun Chonglou, it would take at least half a month.
"Lu Bing hinted that I should surrender to him, but that bastard didn't even think about whether he was worthy enough?"
Lao Wang and Jiang Qingzhi are drinking tea.
"Old Wang, tell me the truth, are you clean?" Jiang Qingzhi didn't buy it.
Wang Yiqi did not avoid his gaze and said frankly: "I know a lot of such things, but I have never participated in them. Not to mention being incorruptible... you also know that it is customary for officials in Beijing to accept benefits from local officials every year. If I did not accept them, I would be an outlier. But not much."
Jiang Qingzhi shook his head, and Wang Yiqi sighed, "Brother Qingzhi, I have also been a local official. I have also given benefits to officials in Beijing. Do you think my promotion came from these benefits? Not really."
He smiled bitterly and said, "Every year I give gifts, all I ask is that the officials in Beijing don't make things difficult for me on weekdays, and that I don't lose as much money as I should. And that they don't make things difficult for me when I'm promoted."
Jiang Qingzhi said: "This reminds me of something."
"I'm all ears."
"I don't know who gave gifts, but I know exactly who didn't."
"Look!" Wang Yiqi slapped his thigh, "Brother, you are a wise man. We are asking for this by giving gifts, not for any support in the court.
To be honest, unless you give a large gift, who will work hard for you with the small amount of gifts you give every year?"
This is the unspoken rule.
It has been inevitable since ancient times.
This has nothing to do with official culture, it has only to do with human nature.
Wang Yiqi took a sip of tea and complained, "Brother Qingzhi, the Jinyiwei are as fierce as wolves and tigers. They arrested more than ten people as soon as they arrived. Now everyone in my military department is in a panic. This..."
"Old Wang, you didn't go to Xuanfu." Jiang Qingzhi said, "Those low-level soldiers are like zombies. When I see them, I just want to kill them!"
He stood up and walked out, then turned around and said, "Old Wang, check yourself!"
This is the only way to reverse the impact.
Wang Yiqi sighed, "If I examine myself, I will be cutting my own flesh. How many people will hate me to the core?"
"Be a good official, not a good person." Jiang Qingzhi nodded and left.
"Be a good official, not a good person?" Wang Yiqi covered his forehead with his hands, with a complicated expression.
"Minister." Assistant Minister Wu Hua came in.
Wang Yiqi opened his eyes and saw his eyes flickering, which reminded him of the last time he was punished by Jiang Qingzhi.
"Is something wrong?"
Wu Hua looked at the teacup with a smile, but Wang Yiqi had no intention of winning people over at the moment, "Speak!"
Wu Hua coughed dryly, "Someone saw Chang Wei Bo earlier, diagonally opposite my Ministry of War. He arrived earlier than the Jinyiwei. Shangshu, this person arrived earlier, but he just sat there and watched the Jinyiwei wreak havoc in my Ministry of War..."
This guy is not authentic!
"Shangshu, among those arrested is the official who attended the lecture of Chang Wei Bo last time."
That means he is also half a disciple of yours, Jiang Qingzhi, right?
But you actually watched them being taken away by the Royal Guards. Where is your conscience?
"I see!"
Wang Yiqi recalled Jiang Qingzhi's previous words...
When I saw those low-level soldiers in Xuanfu, I wanted to kill them!
But he couldn't kill after all.
But the Jinyiwei can.
So Jiang Qingzhi just sat there and watched the Jinyiwei arrest people.
But in the end he still came, appeared when Wang Yiqi was in crisis, and suppressed Lu Bing's arrogance.
Wang Yiqi couldn't help but praise his grasp of the timing: "Chang Wei Bo is indeed a master of military strategy!"
What is this and what?
Wu Hua thought Wang Yiqi was distracted, "Minister, Chang Wei Bo has been outside the whole time. He just sat there and watched the Jinyiwei take down my military officials... He has bad intentions!"
Wang Yiqi protected his short-term successor, and Wu Hua felt that if Wang knew the news, he would definitely hate Jiang Qingzhi deeply.
Wang Yiqi looked at him slowly, "Old Wu!"
"Minister." Wu Hua was secretly happy.
"Did you know that Long Wilbur might not come today?"
"Do you know that he could have continued to sit back and watch the Jinyiwei wreak havoc on the Ministry of War, and he would not have ordered the guards to take action and put down the Jinyiwei's arrogance?"
Wang Yiqi pointed outside and said, "Get out!"
"Shangshu!"
Wu Hua stood up.
"Get out!"
Wu Hua came out in a panic, and just in time, several officials were stopping Jiang Qingzhi in front of him and complaining.
These officials had all heard his lectures before, and now it seemed as if they had found a backer.
"My Lord, the Jinyiwei are so arrogant that they dared to fight in my military department."
"My Lord, I heard that the Imperial Prison is like hell. If you are not careful, you will be tortured into confessing."
Jiang Qingzhi frowned, "If you do something wrong, you must pay the price. I can cover up for you, but it is out of selfishness.
Ask yourself, those low-level soldiers are like slaves defending the country and guarding the border. And I covered up for those who embezzled the soldiers' money and food for my own selfish reasons. I can't open my mouth! "
He turned around and pointed at Wang Yiqi who was walking out of the duty room, "Let's go to Old Wang!"
"Shangshu!"
Seeing that Jiang Qingzhi was unwilling to take action, these officials placed their hopes on Wang Yiqi.
But Wang Yiqi bowed to Jiang Qingzhi.
"Don't worry, Long Wilbur. I know what's going on."
The corners of Jiang Qingzhi's mouth curled up slightly.
After all, there is such a group of people maintaining the Ming Dynasty.
In my mind, the big cauldron slowly turned.
The mottled copper rust gradually began to shine...
