Chapter 309: The Divine Leg King Yiqi, the Beastly Marquis of Jincheng
The two big men were startled, and the big man who was holding the rope cursed: "Who is that bastard!"
Two people walked out of the darkness.
"My name is Sun Chonglou."
"My name is Sun Bu Tong. Do you want to kneel down on your own or wait for me to break your legs before you kneel down?"
The big man took out a short knife and said with a fierce smile: "You are here to seek death!"
The other big man let go, and Chen You collapsed to the ground.
Two big men rushed forward, and after a few screams, they fell down.
Sun Bu Tong walked over, squatted down and asked, "Are you willing to be... Hey! Shitou, what witness did Uncle mentioned?"
"A tainted witness."
"Yes, are you willing to be a witness?"
Chen You nodded vigorously, "Yes."
The two big men never came back. Someone cursed, "Damn it, they must have taken the opportunity to run away. Go back and tell the manager to deduct their money and food."
……
Jiang Qingzhi had a good appetite recently and ate a lot for dinner, but he was hungry again after more than an hour.
He asked the kitchen to make him some fried rice, and ate it with a plate of fried dried chilies he had made himself, sweating profusely.
The dried chilies are fried in a pan and sprinkled with cumin powder and sesame seeds. They are crispy when you take a bite and the spicy taste goes straight to your head.
Have another bite of mixed fried rice... Oh my god, Jiang Qingzhi feels that no other delicacies are as delicious as this.
Li Tian was reading a book. Seeing him eating happily, she couldn't help but salivate. "Husband, is this delicious?"
"The most delicious delicacy in the world." Jiang Qingzhi deliberately acted intoxicated.
"My husband is just trying to make me angry on purpose!" Li Tian injured her spleen and stomach last time, and the doctor said she should eat a light diet for a while.
"Would you like some fried rice?" Jiang Qingzhi scooped a spoonful of fried rice and handed it over.
Li Tian was tempted, but when she looked closely, she found that there was chili in the fried rice. "Chili in fried rice, too. How much do you love chili, my husband?"
"Chili is my life!"
Jiang Qingzhi took out a piece of chocolate like a magic trick and said, "Try it."
Li Tian took it and asked, "What's that black thing?"
“You’ll know after you try it.”
Li Tian took a bite and squinted, "Huh! Silky...sweet."
"What is this?" As expected, women have no resistance to chocolate, and Li Tian is no exception.
Jiang Qingzhi said: "This is candy from the south. It is said that it was brought by Arab merchants from overseas."
"That's not cheap, is it?"
"Does our family need money?"
The couple looked at each other and laughed.
"My Lord." The maid reported outside the door: "Sun Bu Tong wants to see you."
Jiang Qingzhi got up and went to the front yard. Li Tian couldn't help but picked up a piece of dried chili and took a bite.
"Spicy! Delicious!"
Her face turned red instantly.
……
"Master, this man's wife and daughter were sold to the gambling house."
In the front yard, Sun Bu Tong pointed at Chen You and said, the two big men were gagged and thrown aside.
Fucheng was preparing a special meal for Sun Chonglou... Sun Chonglou wolfed down a large piece of meat pie, and after swallowing it, he talked excitedly about the excitement over there: "Many people are gambling..."
Fu Cheng said sinisterly: "If you dare to gamble, I will break your legs!"
"Master, why are you the same as the young master?" Sun Chonglou took a bite of the meat pie and said vaguely, "The young master said that he would never reconcile with prostitution, gambling and drugs..."
"At first I was just curious, so I followed them to gamble once. That time I won two strings of money, and I thought I would never come again. But two days later I felt itchy, so after some hesitation, I went again. This time I won again..."
Chen You looked at Jiang Qingzhi tremblingly, wondering why this noble man saved him.
Jiang Qingzhi held a cigarette in his mouth and asked, "Is this the third time I've lost?"
"How did you know that, sir?" Chen You asked in surprise.
"The first two times you were allowed to win were to give you a hint that you can easily make money here. Human nature is greedy. Even if you keep losing money, the thought will always linger in your mind. So you keep gambling and keep losing. The more you lose, the stronger the thought of making up for your losses becomes. In the end, you are completely trapped in it and can no longer extricate yourself."
In South America, casinos are run openly, but many people have become penniless in them. Many crimes have been committed quietly in the dark.
Jiang Qingzhi shook off the ashes from his cigarette and asked, "You sold your wife and daughter to them. Do you have a contract?"
"Yes." Chen You said.
Fu Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Don't you feel guilty?"
"That bitch only knows how to yell and curse, and that money-loser only knows how to cry and whine..." Chen You showed a look of disgust.
Sun Chonglou noticed that his master's aura was not right, "Master, what are you doing..."
"I haven't killed anyone in a long time." Fu Cheng turned and left. He was worried that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to resist taking action.
……
Since being carried back to the Marquis' Mansion, Zhang Tong was arranged to live in a side room, and Ma ordered the concubines to take turns to take care of him.
Today's dinner was late. After dinner, Ma went out for a walk to digest the food, and thought about it and went to take a look.
Zhang Tong was lying on his side, grinning foolishly. A big bowl had fallen to the ground, and the bed was covered with food.
"Where are the people?" asked Ma.
The maid at the door said, "He said he went to the toilet."
"Lazy cows and horses produce lots of shit and piss!"
Ma waved her hand and the maid left.
"Hey Hey!"
Ma found a relatively clean place and sat down, staring at Zhang Tong in a daze.
"Before I married you, I heard that you were quite brave and I thought that you would lead the army to guard the area, and I would stay at home to serve my parents and take care of the children. This life would be good."
"Who knew that after I got married, I discovered that you were a heavy drinker and a womanizer, and you loved eating, drinking and having fun. On the second day after our wedding, you went to gamble, and when you lost, you came back and asked me for money... At that moment, I was half heartbroken, but I thought that after all, we are husband and wife, and maybe I can persuade you to change those bad habits in the future."
"The next year, I had a child, so I advised you to drink less and hang out with those bad friends, but you jumped up after drinking and kicked me down..."
Ma looked at Zhang Tong, who was grinning foolishly, and said, "My child is gone, and I am heartbroken. I thought you would feel guilty, but the next day you brought a woman home and made her kowtow to me."
She smiled and said, "You've lost your child, but you still want to take a concubine. What is a child to you? What am I, the Marquis' wife, to you?"
Ma said quietly, "It's hard for a woman to give up on her man, but once she gives up, even ten oxen can't pull her back. At that moment, I gave up on you."
"I laughed and called the woman sister. Seeing you laughing so proudly, I was also very happy. When Xiaoyuezi came out, I advised you to open a gambling house. Since you like gambling, wouldn't it be better to gamble in your own casino?"
"As soon as the gambling house opened, business was booming. From then on, you gradually became obedient to me." "I asked you to open a brothel, I asked you to make friends with the rich and powerful... You did everything I asked, and even told others that I was a good wife. A good wife!"
Ma's smile seemed a little cold in the candlelight.
"Those people were opening the market for Jiang Qingzhi's matter this time, and you were not originally included. However, I strongly persuaded you to participate, and for this reason you pulled out all your old connections, and finally succeeded in joining in."
"My dear, do you think I am good to you?" Ma wiped the oil stains from the corners of Zhang Tong's mouth with pity, "Jiang Qingzhi is your Majesty's cousin who is particularly trusted. What are you planning?
But that Majesty! I've thought about what happened after he ascended the throne. Our Majesty is the most protective of his shortcomings. If you open the bet on Jiang Qingzhi's loss at this time, do you really think that Majesty will turn a blind eye? I bet that there will be thunder and lightning afterwards. "
"Are you trying to say that I'm crazy?" Ma smiled sweetly, "How can I remain unscathed when the Marquis's mansion is in trouble?"
Her eyebrows suddenly raised, and a chill emanated from her. "The doctor said that I can no longer have children in this life. A woman who can't have children and whose husband is a beast, do you think it's meaningful for me to live?"
"It's all your fault, you beast!" Ma's eyes were filled with madness. "I forgot to tell you that you still don't have a child. The doctor said it's related to your drinking. He's a quack."
Ma leaned over and whispered in Zhang Tong's ear, "I was the one who drugged them. The kitchen is full of my people. When those women come home, the first bowl of soup they are served is the sterilizing soup!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Hey Hey!"
……
On the second day, the Taoist priest convened a small court meeting.
Important officials from various departments, including Jiang Qingzhi's father-in-law Li Huan, also came.
"...I'm not bragging, my grandson is the smartest. Yesterday I asked him how many fruits three plus five would give. He said seven..."
As soon as Jiang Qingzhi arrived, he heard his father-in-law praising his grandson, the son of his eldest brother-in-law.
"Isn't it eight?" Some people thought Li Huan was stupid.
"I thought so too, so I asked him why there weren't eight." Li Huan said proudly, "The boy picked up a fruit and took a bite."
Everyone: "..."
This is not clever at all, it's clearly a prank.
"Father-in-law." Jiang Qingzhi's arrival liberated those people.
"Long Wilbur!"
"Long Wilbur is here."
Jiang Qingzhi bowed with a smile.
Li Huan pulled him out and whispered, "I heard many people say earlier..." He looked around, "They said they want to impeach you and Prince Yu today."
The father-in-law was a little anxious, "You didn't tell Tian'er about this, right?"
Jiang Qingzhi shook his head, and Li Huan breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't let women interfere in men's affairs."
Tell this to your wife!
Jiang Qingzhi secretly complained.
"Don't worry, I have invited two good friends today, and we will have a great time then." The father-in-law patted Jiang Qingzhi's shoulder with a confident and heroic look on his face.
But Jiang Qingzhi felt that it was like the wind whistling and the Yishui River being cold.
Enter the temple later.
There was no opening remarks. Shortly after the whip was sounded, a civil servant stepped out.
"Your Majesty, I impeach the Chief Wei Bo Jiang Qingzhi for inciting the prince to beat a minister and cripple him!"
"Your Majesty, this kind of tragedy has not been heard of in our country for many years. Jiang Qingzhi should be severely punished!"
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
"..."
As soon as the game started, the opponent's offensive came like a tide.
The Taoist priest watched this scene coldly. Just as Li Huan was about to leave, Wang Yiqi stepped forward and scolded, "Zhang Tong must have used foul language, otherwise why would Prince Yu take action? And then..."
Wang Yiqi sneered, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You wanted to push Zhang Tong to take over as the commander of the Yulin Left Guard. Now Zhang Tong has become a fool. You must be angry and embarrassed!"
"Who is Minister Wang talking about?"
"I'm talking about you!"
"You're such a bitch!"
Bah!
Jiang Qingzhi stared in amazement as Wang Yiqi was hit by a punch. Then Wang Yiqi kicked him down with a flying kick, and then kicked him in the crotch. The official who came up to help with the punch slowly knelt down with his legs clamped together...
What the hell!
Zhu Xizhong widened his eyes, "Old Wang, you..."
Wang Yiqi easily performed a whirlwind kick and then retracted his leg.
He said calmly: "This is my family's leg technique. Please excuse my laughter."
"stop!"
The censor shouted angrily.
"I impeach Wang Yiqi..."
The scene suddenly changed and turned into a meeting to criticize Wang Yiqi.
Lao Wang is sharing the firepower with Jiang Qingzhi!
"Old Wang is good." Zhu Xizhong praised.
Just when Wang Yiqi was outnumbered and gradually showing signs of losing the battle, Jiang Qingzhi gave a dry cough.
"Well, can I, the real owner, speak?"
Everyone was shocked and realized something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, I impeach Jiang Qingzhi..."
The firepower turned back to Jiang Qingzhi.
After everyone finished speaking, Jiang Qingzhi asked, "You impeached me for Zhang Tong. Do you know who Zhang Tong is?"
"Zhang Tong is loyal to His Majesty..."
Everyone praised Zhang Tong and made him the most virtuous minister of the Ming Dynasty.
"Finished?"
When everyone was tired of talking, Jiang Qingzhi took out some papers.
He glanced at those people who seemed calm but were proud in their hearts.
"Someone has a gambling house in the north of the city, which has been open for eleven years. During these eleven years, this gambling house has maimed fifty-seven people and killed twenty-four people. Thirty-nine women have been bought and sold..."
"This man deserves to die!" someone said.
"That's right, he deserves to die!" someone was furious.
"Chang Wei Bo, tell me who this man is, and I'll knock on his door right away!"
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation... Even if they disagreed, they had to show this attitude at this moment.
"It is indeed full of righteousness!" Jiang Qingzhi smiled and said:
"This man is the Marquis of Jincheng, Zhang Tong!"
