Chapter 177 Lu Bing apologizes and brings humiliation upon himself
The sun rises slowly from the east.
The autumn morning is slightly cool and refreshing.
The yard was full of Jinyiwei.
Shen Lian looked at Jiang Qingzhi and thought of the words of Tang Shunzhi, the master of Xinxue.
——This Ming Dynasty has never lacked outstanding people, but they are trapped by rules. And this rule has a name, called: Confucianism!
Who can break this rule?
Tang Shunzhi shook his head, he couldn't.
Shen Lian shook his head. He couldn't do it either.
But at this moment Shen Lian saw someone who broke this rule.
The man was pointing at Lu Bing with his hand holding a cigarette.
"Old Lu, it's time to apologize!"
Lu Bing's cheek trembled, "Ask questions!"
Zhu Haofei also ran to the torture room.
In the torture chamber, Sun Bu Tong smiled sinisterly: "Everyone outside heard your scream just now. Don't pretend to be pure and innocent. You've been sold out, so just sell it out thoroughly."
Mu Xian, who was exhausted, panted and said, "Mu Chaobi wanted to inherit the title, but my nephew was in power, so he wanted to make a plan... But Mu Shu came to the capital, and before leaving, she said that if Mu Chaobi dared to take action, she would create momentum in the capital, saying that he killed his nephew to seize the throne... Mu Chaobi hated me to the core, and told us to kill Mu Shu in the capital..."
"Sign your name. You can sleep as long as you want. I can also get you a coffin if you want one." Sun Bu Tong took the confession record, handed it over, and said in a bewitching voice:
"Take a nap, and when you wake up, there are women, good wine, and some motherfuckers around you..."
"Please stop talking and I'll sign." Mu Xian collapsed.
He took the confession and hesitated.
"Go to sleep!" Sun Bu Tong said softly, "Everything will be gone when you wake up."
Zhu Hao rushed in just as Mu Xian had finished signing.
"Wait!" Zhu Hao shouted.
Sun Bu Tong snatched the confession, turned around and rushed out of the torture room.
Mu Xian lowered his head as if relieved and liberated, and then began to snore loudly.
In the compound, Lu Bing was waiting for news.
"Without the confession record, it will be useless." A Jinyiwei said with a smile.
"Uncle!"
The thin Sun Bu Tong ran very fast to Jiang Qingzhi and handed him the transcript like a treasure.
"Mu Xian confessed!"
Jiang Qingzhi glanced at the transcript.
Gave Dou Jialan a look.
Dou Jialan checked carefully and said to Lu Bing, "Commander Lu, the confession is correct!"
Lu Bing's body shook slightly, but he still didn't give up. Just as he was about to ask someone to check, Zhu Hao came back.
“Commander…” Zhu Hao lowered his head, as if he had lost his parents.
Seeing Zhu Hao's appearance, Lu Bing knew that there was nothing wrong with this matter.
"My Jinyiwei has many skilled interrogators, why can't we get anything out of him?" Lu Bing looked at those skilled interrogators, who lowered their heads, looking extremely ashamed.
"Is there any torture?"
Zhu Hao shook his head. "I stripped Mu Xian of his clothes and found no injuries. He can move every part of his body."
Lu Bing took a deep breath.
"Jiang Qingzhi!"
"Don't try to get close to me. We are not that kind of relationship." Jiang Qingzhi held a cigarette in his mouth with a look of contempt.
"If you're single, you get 99, if you're not, add one!" This is the Imperial Guard. Lu Bing can't afford to lose face by having to apologize to his mortal enemy in front of his subordinates.
Jiang Qingzhi's expression suddenly changed, "I say, you should apologize!"
"Jiang Qingzhi, you are going too far!"
A Jinyiwei rushed out.
Jiang Qingzhi stared at Lu Bing. Facing him, Sun Bu Tong leaned back, supported himself on the ground with one hand, and kicked with his right foot.
The Jinyiwei was kicked halfway and immediately fell beside Lu Bing.
Sun Bu Tong turned over and knelt on one knee, "I have accomplished your mission, Master, you are so mighty!"
Well done!
This guy is really good at building momentum for the boss!
Jiang Qingzhi looked at Lu Bing.
What he was thinking about was Xia Yan's evaluation of this person.
——Good at planning for one’s career, and shameless!
After drinking, Xia Yan once said to Jiang Qingzhi: Whoever can make Lu Bing suffer a great loss will be my benefactor.
From this sentence, one can hear Xia Yan's hatred for Lu Bing.
Old Xia!
How do you thank your benefactor?
Lu Bing took a step forward.
More than a hundred people looked at him, some of them moved their lips, some looked ashamed and angry...
The notorious commander of the Imperial Guards was slapped in the face by an outsider in public.
Moreover, in front of everyone.
Lu Bing lowered his head, his cheeks trembling.
He had been honored and favored throughout his life, so how could he have been slapped in the face in public like this?
But once you say something, you have to keep it.
He walked up to Jiang Qingzhi.
He looked up at the man.
Do you really want to offend me to death?
Jiang Qingzhi narrowed his eyes with contempt.
It's like looking at an ant.
Lu Bing took a deep breath.
"Commander, you can't..."
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Lu Bing bowed deeply.
"Lu, I'm wrong."
……
The Jinyiwei issued a ban, not allowing today's events to be leaked.
But the news spread like a plague.
"It was Jiang Qingzhi's people who were spreading the news outside!" Someone came back to report, "Even the damn Tiger Guards and Left Guards were helping."
"Do those lowly warriors dare to do this?" Zhu Hao said murderously: "Get a few to kill as a warning to others."
"The leader is Chen Bao."
Damn it!
Is it that dude from Chen Bao?
forget it!
Zhu Hao shut up.
Everyone looked at Lu Bing who seemed calm.
"All go out."
Everyone resigned.
In the duty room, Lu Bing clenched his fists and his eyes were gloomy.
……
Emperor Jiajing woke up at noon today.
Huang Jin brought people in to serve.
"Your Majesty got up too early today." Huang Jin said with a smile. According to the usual habit of Emperor Jiajing, he would have to sleep for at least another hour.
Emperor Jiajing narrowed his eyes and asked, "How is that going?"
Huang Jin lowered his head.
"Speak!" Emperor Jiajing got angry when he woke up.
"This morning, Lu Bing summoned his men and called for Chang Wei Bo..."
"He wanted to humiliate Qingzhi in public?" asked Emperor Jiajing. "Who would have thought that Chang Wei Bo's men would force Mu Xian to confess without torture, and force Lu Bing to apologize in public."
Emperor Jiajing asked, "You mean, Qingzhi made Mu Xian confess without torture?"
"Yes, this has been verified by Jinyiwei internally."
Emperor Jiajing suddenly cursed: "That idiot!"
Why is Your Majesty dissatisfied?
Everyone is puzzled.
Emperor Jiajing fell back and said, "I will sleep for another hour."
……
After returning from the Imperial Guards, Jiang Qingzhi took a walk in the yard. Several maids murmured that the yard looked rather dull, without a single flower.
“Those families have flowers now.”
"Our family..."
Fu Cheng coughed dryly, and several maids quickly fled.
Damn, I don’t have enough foundation!
Jiang Qingzhi sighed a little.
"Uncle, we have to take our time with all these. To be honest, it all comes down to the fact that there is someone missing in the family." Fu Cheng glanced at Jiang Qingzhi.
Jiang Qingzhi did not comment, "I'll get some flowers and trees later."
What I want to talk about is not the flowers and trees, but the fact that the family is missing a mistress!
He went to the front yard and saw Sun Bu Tong and others talking.
"Mu Xian wanted to call me his real father and confess if I told him to..."
Prince Yu squatted beside him, listening with great interest, "Just don't let him sleep?"
Sun Bu Tong nodded.
Fu Cheng coughed dryly, and Sun Bu Tong stood up, "Butler."
"Master said that you have worked hard, so everyone will be given two days off, and each of you will be rewarded 300 yuan. Go and claim it yourself."
"Thank you, uncle!"
Fu Cheng then bowed, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
Prince Yu went to see Jiang Qingzhi, and Yang Xi came over, "Lao Fu, do you not want His Highness to learn Chang Wei Bo's methods?"
Fu Cheng said calmly: "We have to leave some tricks for the future young master."
After Prince Yu met Jiang Qing, he asked about this matter.
"It has something to do with nerves." Jiang Qingzhi pointed to his brain. "A person can survive for a long time without food or water, but if he doesn't sleep, and can't even close his eyes for a moment, he won't be able to survive for long."
"How come I don't know such knowledge?" Prince Yu found it amazing.
"There are so many things you don't know." Jiang Qingzhi pointed at his lower abdomen, "I have millions of books and a belly full of knowledge."
"Uncle, why don't you start your own sect?"
Prince Yu only said it casually, but Jiang Qingzhi felt his eyes light up.
Later in the evening, someone came from the palace and said that His Majesty had summoned him.
Jiang Qingzhi and Prince Yu came to the West Garden and noticed the flowers that were still in full bloom...
"Hey! What are you doing!"
The guards were furious when they saw someone squatting there plucking flowers.
"Why, isn't this wild?"
The man turned around, and the guards took a look and said, "It's Chang Wei Bo... and His Royal Highness Prince Yu! Yes, they are wild, wild..."
When the guard returned, a colleague asked, "Why didn't you stop it?"
The guard said, "It's Chang Wei Bo and His Royal Highness Prince Yu. Can you try to stop them?"
Jiang Qingzhi and Prince Yu dug up more than ten flowers, placed them by the gate, and asked the guards to look after them.
"Easy to say."
……
"Chang Wei Bo brought His Royal Highness Prince Yu to the West Garden to dig flowers and trees. They said they were wild and brought them back home..."
A eunuch reported to Emperor Jiajing.
"You are really good at stealing my girl."
Emperor Jiajing said lightly.
When Jiang Qingzhi arrived, looking at the dirt on his hands, Emperor Jiajing asked, "Do you have a crush on a woman recently?"
Jiang Qingzhi quickly shook his head, "No."
"A family cannot do without a woman!" Emperor Jiajing taught earnestly, "A man without a woman is not well-groomed and looks out of place. The combination of yin and yang..."
"The work is not tiring." Jiang Qingzhi continued.
Emperor Jiajing pointed at him and said, "The Crown Prince has been talking about you many times in front of me. That kid... has a good nature. If you have nothing to do, go over there and take a look."
"Your Majesty!" Jiang Qingzhi was about to refuse, but when he looked up, he saw that Emperor Jiajing had gray hair at the temples and a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Forget it, just be perfunctory!
"Yes."
Jiang Qingzhi walked in the palace, feeling the autumn breeze blowing, and felt relaxed and happy.
It would have been better if I hadn’t seen that old face.
The prince is giving a lecture today, and Cui Yuan and others are also there.
Qin Li was giving the lecture, but he stopped when he saw Jiang Qingzhi come in.
The prince smiled and said, "It's rare for my cousin to come here. Come and sit down."
This is just a polite remark. The minister should stand at this moment. After being humble for a few times, he can sit on half of his buttocks.
But Jiang Qingzhi sat down without hesitation, and sat there carefree.
Then he said to Qin Li: "Continue."
Cui Yuan sneered, "Disrespectful!"
Jiang Qingzhi looked at him, and Qin Li said to the people around him with a playful look: "Cui Yuan came prepared."
Being disrespectful to the prince is no small crime.
Cui Yuan had deliberately provoked Jiang Qing, and Jiang Qing fell into his trap...
"Cui Yuan is indeed a cunning old man." Huang Wei whispered behind the prince.
Last time, he was publicly whipped by Jiang Qingzhi, and he held a deep hatred for it. Today, seeing Jiang Qingzhi fall into Cui Yuan's trap, he couldn't help but feel excited.
The prince hesitated.
He knew that Jiang Qingzhi's coming was probably due to the order of Emperor Jiajing.
What should I do?
The prince was still hesitating.
But this hesitation was seen as a show by everyone.
Jiang Qingzhi is in trouble!
Jiang Qingzhi asked, "What did the prince call me today?"
The prince forced a smile.
"It's my uncle!" Jiang Qingzhi said lightly.
The prince calls me his cousin, so today we are talking about relatives, not monarch and subject.
Jiang Qingzhi sneered, "Old dog, what do my family affairs have to do with you?"
Cui Yuan is the princess's husband. The princess passed away last year, so Cui Yuan should be considered an outsider.
Does an outsider dare to sow discord among the royal family?
"Who gave you the face?!" Jiang Qingzhi suddenly asked.
Cui Yuan's expression changed.
Qin Li did the same, but he winked at the prince.
Jiang Qingzhi escalated the matter to the level of the royal family, and the prince had to express his stance.
Otherwise, you would be suspected of sitting back and watching your uncle being bullied by outsiders.
The prince did not expect the situation to change so suddenly. He was stunned for a moment and then stood up.
Then he frowned and looked at Cui Yuan, "Prince Consort, you have lost your composure."
Cui Yuan gritted his teeth secretly, stood up and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I am reckless."
