Chapter 648: No Hatred Lasts Forever
Liao immediately changed his itinerary and went to the Dali Temple to report the case.
"Chang Wei Bo threatened in public that he would make the Marquis' Mansion look bad. As one of the three judicial departments, can the Dali Temple just sit back and watch?"
Liao was furious in the Dali Temple... The nobles and relatives may not be good at other things, but they are good at showing their might even after their death.
The Dali Temple Minister did not show up, so he sent an official out to receive the guests.
The official smiled bitterly, "Didn't you just not do it?"
"It will be too late if we take action later." Liao said angrily, "Jiang Qingzhi is cruel and merciless. He once had the envoy of Altan Khan beheaded in the street. A while ago, that guy..."
The maid beside him said, "A merchant from the grassland."
"Yes, he killed three grassland merchants in the inn a while ago and broke the legs of several people. This thug has now threatened to make things difficult for the Linqing Marquisate. What does the Dali Temple say?"
Liao stared at the official and said, "If you don't give me an explanation, I will go to the palace to ask for an audience with the queen and ask her to come forward and just save my life and mine."
Look, a marquis actually became a coward under the threat of an earl, and only wanted to save his life.
When word of this got out, Emperor Jiajing had to give Jiang Qingzhi a severe beating to appease his nobles and relatives.
The official said solemnly: "The Dali Temple will naturally take care of this matter."
"Then I'll wait and see." Liao walked out leisurely and ordered, "Spread the news and make sure everyone in the capital knows it."
After returning home, Liao told Zhao Fang about the incident. Zhao Fang, who had been worried about being retaliated by Jiang Qingzhi and Zhu Xizhong, was overjoyed. "In this case, Jiang Qingzhi and Zhu Xizhong will definitely be cautious and even have to protect the Marquis' Mansion. Otherwise, if something happens to us, they will be covered in mud and shit! Madam is very clever!"
Liao said proudly: "Jiang Qingzhi looked normal at the time, but he was a little bit timid."
"In this way, we have overcome this calamity." Zhao Fang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked someone to bring wine and food. The couple celebrated together.
After receiving the report, the Dali Temple Minister could not help but smile bitterly. He first went to the palace to ask for an audience with Emperor Jiajing.
"threaten?"
"Yes. The wife of the Marquis of Linqing said it herself in the Dali Temple. Chang Wei Bo threatened in the street, saying that he would have a safe journey and be exiled..."
The conflicts between nobles and powerful people have always been regarded as a big trouble by the Dali Temple, and they would avoid getting involved if possible.
But this time, Liao took the initiative to cause trouble and brought it to the Dali Temple, which made the Dali Temple Minister quite dissatisfied.
"I understand."
"My minister retire."
Knowing that this was the attitude of Emperor Jiajing, after the Dali Temple Minister left, Emperor Jiajing said: "Don't create trouble internally at this time. If something happens in the Linqing Marquisate, the nobles will certainly make a fuss... Huang Ban, go to Xin'an Lane and tell that idiot to be quiet."
Huang Jin knew that the Taoist priest was a little angry, so he hurried to Xin'an Lane.
I happened to meet someone sent by the Dali Temple.
"What? Threats?" Fu Cheng looked confused. "My uncle always speaks like this. Why? The Dali Temple controls everything, how can it control how people speak?"
Does Chang Wei Bo usually talk to you guys like this... The man from the Dali Temple wanted to get angry, but thinking of Jiang Qingzhi's domineering attitude, he finally held back. He forced a smile and said, "This matter is now spreading like wildfire. I hope Chang Wei Bo... can restrain himself for the time being. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the Dali Temple!"
Fu Cheng said, "This is completely false. The uncle is a very kind person. That woman is... Xiaobo. What did the uncle say?"
Boll, who was standing by with a knife in hand, said, "Your Highness is talking about fraud."
Also, please call me Western Advisor Paul.
"Yes, it's frame-up." Fu Cheng sneered, "Don't you know what frame-up is? It's frame-up! This is to throw dirty water on the Earl's house. When the Earl comes back, this matter will definitely not be stopped."
"Long Wilbur isn't here?"
"My Lord is going to inspect outside the city."
Mr. Jiang has recently become addicted to fishing. Whenever he has nothing to do, he goes to the moat to rob the poor fish.
"bingo!"
Jiang Qingzhi lifted the fishing rod, and it sank suddenly, looking like it was about to break.
The old man fishing on the other side couldn't help but shout, "Slow down, slow down, don't pull too hard."
Jiang Qingzhi fought back and forth with the fish, and soon several anglers who fished here for many years gathered around him. They offered suggestions, some suggested pulling to the left, others suggested casting the line in a roundabout way...
"It must be five pounds."
"This momentum is at least ten kilograms!"
"How about making a bet?"
Before they could make a bet, Jiang Qingzhi lifted the big fish's head out of the water.
When everyone saw the huge fish head, their eyes widened.
"At least fifteen pounds, what a big fish!"
Jiang Qingzhi suppressed his excitement and slowly dragged the big fish towards the shore.
When the big fish was dragged ashore, Jiang Qingzhi also saw Huang Jin diagonally opposite.
He shook his head to signal Huang Jin to keep quiet.
After putting the big fish into the fish basket, Jiang Qingzhi clapped his hands and said he was going to the bathroom.
He went along the city wall to the right and met Huang Jin outside the city gate later.
"Chang Wei Bo is in a good mood. Don't you want those people to know your identity?" Huang Jin said with a smile.
"Do you think that if they knew my identity, they would still come forward to help?" Jiang Qingzhi said.
"Wouldn't it be quieter then?" Huang Jin didn't understand the fisherman's thoughts.
"If you want some peace and quiet, wouldn't it be better if I stayed at home?"
Fishermen just want to have fun!
After fishing, we took out the snacks we brought and had a pot of good wine... A few fishermen nearby were also drinking by themselves, and everyone was talking about interesting things while drinking...
This is life!
But this kind of atmosphere is often destroyed by the difference in status, so most real anglers will not ask about the background of their fellow anglers, and everyone maintains a gentleman's distance and atmosphere.
So beautiful!
"We are here because His Majesty has ordered us to do so." Huang Jin said, "The wife of the Marquis of Linqing went to the Dali Temple and said that you threatened her in the street. His Majesty said that we should not cause trouble at this time."
"This is a scam!" Jiang Qingzhi didn't expect that woman to really go to the Dali Temple. "Am I the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation?" Huang Jin looked at him for a long time and said, "Your Majesty probably means... yes."
Jiang Qingzhi looked up at the sky in silence.
"Who made you have such bad deeds in the past?" Huang Jin scolded, "Who beat up the ministers in the court? Who beheaded the envoy in the street?"
"Forget it." Jiang Qingzhi sighed, "Old Huang, report to His Majesty and tell him that the Marquis of Linqing Mansion... I will avoid it from now on."
Huang Jin was worried that Jiang Qingzhi would be stubborn and unwilling to give in, so he heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. "Your Majesty, how could you let those nobles and relatives of the Eighth Route Army bully you? It's just for the sake of the overall situation. Once this year is over, Your Majesty will naturally take action to deal with those villains."
The Taoist priest is no exaggeration to say that he protects his people. Now he seems to be calm and collected, and even warned Jiang Qingzhi not to cause trouble, but in fact, it is only for the sake of internal stability before the war.
Once the war is over, settling the scores will be what the Taoist will be good at.
Jiang Qingzhi returned to his fishing spot. Huang Jin saw him chatting and laughing with some fishing friends and couldn't help but laugh, "He doesn't look like a rich man, but more like a young man from the market."
The young man from the market smiled and asked a few people about fishing.
"Do you think it's better to take revenge later or not?"
"Of course, there is no hatred overnight."
"Yeah! That's what I thought too."
On that day, Chang Wei Bo ordered his guards to carry a huge fish back to the palace slowly. When they saw acquaintances on the road, they approached them and kept glancing at the big fish until the acquaintances exclaimed, "Such a big fish?"
So, the news that Chang Wei Bo had caught a big fish today spread throughout the capital, and he returned home triumphantly.
"I'm going to my cousin's house to eat fish!" Changle, who was accompanying Taoist priest, said happily after hearing the news.
"Go!" Emperor Jiajing waved his hand, still looking at the map.
On the map, he drew a line with a red pen connecting the Altan tribe and the nine frontiers.
Changle arrived at Bo's Mansion and went to see Li Tian first.
"This is the amulet I bought at the Taoist temple. May this child be safe and sound."
Li Tian took the amulet and said happily, "Princess, you are so thoughtful."
After a few words, Li Tian asked, "Where is my husband?"
Huang Yaner said, "My uncle is in the front yard, he said he was killing fish."
Seeing Changle fidgeting, Li Tian smiled, "Princess, you have never seen such a scene, right?"
"Yes, yes!" Changle nodded vigorously.
"Then let's go and take a look." If Li Tian hadn't been pregnant, she would have wanted to go.
The big fish was cut open, leaving the belly and chopped into several large pieces. Paul said the fish head was thrown away, but he found that the guards looked at him with collective contempt.
“Can you eat fish heads?”
"hehe!"
Country bumpkin!
The whole fish banquet was served later, and Jiang Qingzhi took the fish head back to the backyard.
The couple, along with Changle, finished a huge bowl of fish head soup, and also ate up all the tofu and other side dishes, including the soup.
After returning to the palace, Changle showed off to her two brothers, causing them to drool.
"I heard there's a fish head restaurant in the city that's pretty good. I'm going to try it in a few days."
"Okay, it's your treat!"
The two brothers had made their plan, but when the day came, they discovered that the restaurant had been booked by someone else.
The place where Mr. and Mrs. Zhao held the dinner was the restaurant that served delicious fish heads.
At noon that day, the couple arrived at the place first.
The guests arrived and men and women were given separate rooms.
The young men from each family came out to show their faces.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Fang examined him and began to test his knowledge and experience.
"Everyone, please eat for now."
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Fang stood up.
Everyone knew that the couple wanted to discuss something, and they all nodded with a smile.
The ladies were in another room. They could drink as much as they wanted at home, but not outside. If they drank too much and made a fool of themselves, they would become the laughing stock.
After getting a little tipsy, the two ladies got up and went to change their clothes together.
After leaving the room, the two walked slowly.
"How many people outside know about our family affairs?" This was Zhao Fang's voice.
The sound came from the room on the left side in front.
That thing is very old, but gossip will always be passed down.
The noble ladies who are envied by ordinary people are actually the most boring group of people in the world.
When people are bored, they like to gossip...
The two ladies stopped, their eyes gleaming with gossip.
"What did you say, sir?"
This is Liao's voice.
"When we annexed those fields, we killed people. Did we clean up the mess? There must be some fish that slipped through the net. It was fine in the past. We dared to sue the Marquis' Mansion even if we couldn't find evidence. We couldn't kill them. But now Jiang Qingzhi and the Chengguo Mansion are eyeing us covetously. If they knew about those things, they would definitely take advantage of the situation to attack us."
The two ladies looked at each other.
What the hell!
We seem to have heard something we shouldn't have heard...
