Hearing this, the girl with red sleeves secretly glanced at Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang also happened to be looking at her, but his face was expressionless.
The girl with red sleeves naturally knew that the rumors in Shendu were actually half true and half false, and she had nothing to do with Jiang Wang at all.
Although because of Jiang Wang, apart from living in Jiaofangsi, he is basically free. I am very grateful, but I don't dare to expect too much.
Especially seeing Jiang Wang's indifferent look, the red-sleeved girl swallowed back what she wanted to say, lowered her head and said, "How can someone with a body like a willow tree sit with a palace full of nobles? I can only thank His Highness for your kindness."
With that said, she wanted to bow and retreat.
But suddenly I heard Chen Futu's voice again, "Master Jiang Hou, what do you think?"
She stopped immediately.
Jiang Wang said calmly: "There have been a lot of rumors in the city of God these days, but in any case, the girl with red sleeves is indeed no longer a girl from the Jiaofang Department, and now it is just a place for her to stay. Although His Highness is the prince, he has his own The right to make anyone dance, but she is not a dancer."
Chen Futu smiled and said, "Did the Marquis blame me for letting the red-sleeved girl dance?"
He currently has no plans to break up with Jiang Wang.
Rather, they hold the idea of neither wooing nor becoming enemies.
So when he looked at the red-sleeved girl with her head lowered, Chen Futu lowered her attitude and said, "It is indeed my negligence. The red-sleeved girl is already one of the Marquis's. No matter how she is not the oiran of the Jiaofang Division, I still treat her in this capacity." , I can understand that the Marquis is unhappy."
The girl with red sleeves trembled slightly.
Jiang Wang didn't argue.
The girl with red sleeves did benefit from him, and he also used the Jiaofang Secretary to find out the bottom line of Chen Jinghuai.
After all, there is a saying that a dog will jump over the wall when it is anxious, and a rabbit will bite when it is anxious. If you rashly cause a big trouble in the capital of God, you will really make Chen Jinghuai anxious, and Jiang Wang will have to suffer for himself.
With one thing as a foundation, he can make decisions in the future.
As for whether the red sleeve girl misunderstood and had other ideas, Jiang Wang thought it would be better to explain it later.
What's more, he actually didn't do anything to the red-sleeved girl at all. Others wouldn't believe him if he told him. Even if someone would believe it, he didn't want to explain it anymore. He just gave people the impression that he was very flamboyant and unruly, which would be more convenient in the future. act.
He didn't care at all what people in Shendu who knew him a little bit would think.
Moreover, although he was worried that Chen Jinghuai would be anxious and cause him to break the jar directly, it was obviously not that simple to achieve this level. At least there had to be a process of repeating it again and again, especially Jiang Wangneng could roughly see it. , Chen Jinghuai is very patient.
So he planned to do something a little something at the prince's birthday party.
On the surface, he must at least be confident, which will make Chen Jinghuai even more afraid.
Just remember that going too far is never enough.
Jiang Wang glanced at Chen Chongjin, who pretended not to pay much attention, but his eyes clearly looked like he was watching a show.
He had almost forgotten about Ba Shou.
But he accidentally remembered that when he thought about Chen Futu's behavior, he doubted Ba Shou's words before his death.
Not to mention that Ba Shou mixed with the Yinxiang Liu family, and even colluded with He Bo to try to kill him in Naihehai. This was not something Chen Futu would do, and he was very sure that at that time, Chen Futu would not do it at all. Knowing who he is, how could he think of killing him.
What's more, Ba Shou moved out of Chen Futu before his death. On the surface, it didn't seem like much, but it was more likely that he wanted to frame Chen Futu. Read the book
There is no one else but Chen Chongjin who can do this.
Although Chen Chongjin had no reason to kill him at that time, what if it was just Ba Shou's own behavior?
Knowing that he couldn't do anything, and being loyal to Chen Chongjin, it was reasonable and reasonable to pass the blame to the prince before he died.
But in fact, no matter who Ba Shou is, or who Shen Tusi is closer to, or who Chen Futu and Chen Chongjin are, Jiang Wang has no interest, and he will not really take sides.
Jiang Wang wanted to kill Shen Tu Si and Ba Shou, but he didn't care who they were or who they belonged to.
At this time, Chen Chongjin, who was opposite him, could not speak.
No matter what Jiang Wang really thinks, the current situation is what he wants to see.
He just had to be a bystander for the time being.
But Shentu Si, who was secretly loyal to Chen Futu and had a grudge against Jiang Wang for annihilation, said with a cold face: "Xunyang Marquis is just an oiran from the Jiaofangsi. She is the one who can come to Qianlong Hall to dance." The blessings gained through eight lifetimes of cultivation, please pay attention to your attitude!"
Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows, turned around and said with a smile: "That's my attitude, how do you treat me?"
The Queen frowned slightly.
She didn't understand His Majesty's attitude towards Jiang Wang, nor did she know what happened in the past. After all, she didn't even know His Majesty at that time.
But because of the girl with red sleeves, Jiang Wang accused the prince in public, which is the following crime.
The prince may not care about it, but as a mother, she is also a queen. When Jiang Wang spoke, she felt unhappy. Now it was even more obvious that he was disrespectful to the prince, and her face had completely turned cold.
But Chen Futu stopped the empress in time and said loudly: "Don't let the two of you hurt your harmony. Besides, this matter is indeed something I didn't consider well. Miss Hongxiu can stay and have a meal if she likes. If not, she can go to the remote area." I will rest in the palace for a while, and then I will leave the palace with the Marquis."
Jiang Wang didn't say anything. The red-sleeved girl didn't dare to say she would stay with him, so she could only bow to express her gratitude and was led to the side hall by the palace maid.
The Empress didn't understand Chen Futu's behavior, but she didn't say anything. She just stared at Jiang Wang, her expression still ugly.
Jiang Wang turned a blind eye. Although he wanted to cause trouble, Chen Futu kept his attitude so low. There was no need to directly attack the prince. Instead, he turned his attention to Shentu Si, smiled sarcastically, and said silently: "You are in a hurry to defend the prince, and the prince has no need to do so." Take it seriously, don’t you still have to apologize to me?”
Looking at Jiang Wang's mouth shape, Shentu Si clearly guessed the content of this sentence. His face twitched slightly, and he suppressed his anger and clenched his fists loudly.
Jiang Wang grinned again, his voice a little louder, "How do I remember that the Shentu clan colluded with monsters, causing Liangcheng in Beichuan to almost fall? The Liangcheng city guard should have reported the situation to the capital, it seems like colluding with monsters is a major crime. , Captain Shentu, why is there nothing wrong?"
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent again.
Shentu Si looked at Jiang Wang coldly and said: "The person who colluded with the monsters is Shentu Kun. He is just a son-in-law and was given the surname Shentu. However, it is true that I, the Shentu clan, have failed to discipline me. Besides, the Marquis has not personally punished the Shentu clan." ?」
"And having said that, although the Marquis is the Marquis of Xunyang, he has no real power. Logically speaking, he cannot impose punishments on behalf of the gods. The crime of having a son-in-law cannot bring harm to the entire Shentu clan, and naturally it will not bring harm to me. Your Majesty has mercy on me. , let me continue to serve as the captain of the Zuowei Mansion."
"However, Your Majesty has not said anything about the Marquis' private genocide, so I have no right to question him. But since the Marquis mentioned it, I hope that the Marquis can apologize to those innocent people who were killed by the Marquis. The dead Shentu tribesman apologizes."
Jiang Wang said unexpectedly: "I killed all your brothers and sisters, and you just want me to apologize? Don't you want to kill me to avenge them?"
The murderous intent in Shen Tu Si's eyes flashed away, and he said in a deep voice: "In his position, he does his own thing. The lower officials are not as wanton as the Marquis."
Jiang Wang made a sound and said with a smile: "But there is something wrong with what Captain Shentu said just now."
"The person who colluded with the monsters was indeed his son-in-law Shentu Kun. However, Liangcheng resisted the monsters, and the Shentu clan stayed behind closed doors and watched the people suffer. At a small level, they were greedy for life and afraid of death. At a big level, who can guarantee that the Shentu clan did not Did they all collude with the monsters and deliberately want Liangcheng to fall?"...
Shen Tusi said expressionlessly: "Everyone was killed by the Marquis. Naturally, the Marquis can say whatever he wants."
The Liangcheng City Guard did not report Su Changluo's story at all. He blamed Jiang Wang for rescuing Liangcheng from danger and destroying the Shentu clan. However, the Liangcheng City Guard reported the remaining facts in detail.
At that time, the landlady sent a letter to Huncheng as soon as the spring breeze passed, so Jiang Wang saw it before anyone else in the capital.
Therefore, he looked at Chen Futu and said, "I don't understand how your majesty views the Shentu clan."
"But His Highness only needs to read the official newspaper of Liangcheng City Governor to know that I am not lying. Therefore, all the blame lies with having a son-in-law."
It is completely unjustifiable to think that the Shentu clan is innocent and is only responsible for poor discipline. "..
Chen Futu frowned.
Jiang Wang seemed to be deliberately targeting Shen Tu Si.
But what's the reason?
It was Jiang Wang who wiped out the Shentu clan, so it was the Shentu Division who should be the one to target him.
You can't just kill them all just because you're worried that Shen Tu Si wants to take revenge?
Or maybe Jiang Wang knew something, and while he was targeting Shentu Si on the surface, he was actually targeting himself?
Thinking about this, he did not respond to Jiang Wang immediately.
Chen Chongjin jumped out at the right time, "The Marquis is right. It is the son-in-law who colluded with the monsters. When Liangcheng was plagued by monsters, why did the Shentu clan stay behind closed doors? If they were greedy for life and afraid of death, then the Shentu clan You also pretend to be a wealthy family!"
"What's more, with the resources of Captain Shentu, those resources all come from the Xiaoguo Army and the royal family. It is also a serious crime to eat the emperor's salary and not share the emperor's worries, so that the guards guarding Liang City suffered heavy casualties and the people were displaced. !」
"But if their whole clan colluded with the monsters and the matter was revealed, they would introduce a son-in-law to block the gun. The crime would be even greater. The Marquis has a burning gaze. To destroy the Shentu clan and save Liangcheng would be a great achievement. He is truly a role model for our generation. !」
When he finished speaking, he slapped the person next to him on the shoulder and asked, "Cousin, do you think that's right?"
The cousin trembled, his face turned pale, his voice trembled slightly, and he subconsciously replied: "It does make sense."
Chen Futu glanced at Chen Chongjin with narrowed eyes.
Chen Chongjin said carelessly: "Even someone like me, who only knows how to listen to music and has no brains, can see the problems inside. Could it be that everyone here can't see it? If you look at it this way, you are nothing."
Hearing this, everyone in the hall twitched their mouths.
But these words do make sense.
There is indeed a big problem with the Shentu clan.
The Queen looked at Chen Chongjin with a cold face and said, "Are you saying that Your Majesty is nothing?"
Chen Chongjin immediately shrank his neck and said sternly: "My son didn't say that, and my father may not know about Liang Cheng's affairs. If my father knew about it, he would definitely be able to see the problem at a glance."
The Empress ignored Chen Chongjin, looked at Tan Jinghao next to Jiang Wang, and said, "The newspaper for Liangcheng City Guards was sent to the Shenshou Pavilion. The Shenshou Pavilion can indeed handle this matter on its own. Why didn't Ganli notice the problem? "
Tan Jinghao calmly said: "The Queen should also know that my uncle has left all matters big and small to Zuopushe, but he doesn't know about it. I think Shangguan Mingyue, the son of Youpushe, may know what's going on."
The Empress frowned and said, "Gan Li is the master of the Shenshou Pavilion, how can he leave everything to his subordinates?"
Even so, she seemed to understand Gan Li's character. The Queen said nothing else and turned to look at Shangguan Mingyue with a pig-headed face.
Shangguan Mingyue didn't wait for the Queen to ask, then she quickly stood up and bowed: "I don't know about this either. I need to go back and ask my father!"
The queen nodded.
The sullen Shentu Si suddenly said: "It may be true that the Shentu clan stayed behind closed doors when Liangcheng was plagued by monsters, but to say that the whole clan colluded with the monsters is really a wild guess. Besides, if they are really greedy for life and afraid of death, they have already paid the price. , Mr. Hou’s remarks are quite suspected of deliberately spreading dirty water.”
