"What, you said that Miss Xiaohong is accompanying the distinguished guest? I'm asking you, in this capital, which distinguished guest is more expensive than me?"
The person who can say such mindless words cannot be Li Jinglong.
But Chen Kan happened to know this person.
When Zhu Di ascended the throne, he was newly granted the title of Marquis of Wuyang—Xu Jingchang.
Unlike Li Jinglong, who had a well-established background, Li Jinglong inherited the title after his father Li Wenzhong died.
Xu Jingchang is just picking up the slack.
Xu Jingchang is the son of Xu Zengshou, the third son of King Zhongshan. Xu Da has four sons in total. Among them, the eldest son Xu Huizu was hated by Zhu Di for choosing to side with Emperor Jianwen during Zhu Di's calamity. He is now under house arrest by Zhu Di.
Xu Zengshou chose to help his eldest brother-in-law Zhu Di without hesitation, but he was unlucky. When he secretly conveyed a message to Zhu Di, he was caught by Zhu Yunwen and was killed by Emperor Jianwen himself with a sword.
After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he was grateful for the contribution of his brother-in-law Xu Zengshou and was posthumously named Marquis of Wuyang. His son Xu Jingchang inherited the title.
Of course, what really attracted Chen Kan was not Xu Jingchang, but the distinguished guest mentioned by the old bustard.
In the capital, there were many people whose status was higher than that of Xu Jingchang.
But Chen Kan could only think of one person who was more noble than him and liked visiting brothels.
So Chen Kan walked towards the boat without hesitation.
Jin Yiwei's dental plaque was waved in front of the old bustard's eyes, and the old bustard's expression suddenly changed.
Qi Qi Ai Ai said: "Sir, we are all doing honest business, and we don't dare to protect the rebels. Your Excellency is aware of this."
When Xu Jingchang saw Jin Yiwei's tooth tag, a hint of fear suddenly flashed across his face.
Among the capital, there are really only a few people who are not afraid of Jin Yiwei.
Old God Chen Kan looked at Xu Jingchang and said: "Master Marquis, Jin Yiwei is doing something, please come back."
Then he looked at the old madam and said, "I know that Duke Cao is in Miss Xiaohong's room. Take me to see him."
"Hmph, let's go!"
Hearing the words Cao Guogong, Xu Jingchang glanced at Chen Kan fearfully, turned around and left without hesitation with his minions.
The old bustard looked embarrassed: "This is what Mr. Li ordered when he came. No outsiders are allowed to disturb him."
"I have urgent official business to meet with Mr. Li. I have delayed my official business. Can you afford the punishment? Besides, I and Mr. Li are brothers, so there is no need for an outsider to tell me."
"Yes, yes, sir, he is in Room No. 2, Tianzi."
After the old bustard finished speaking, he looked pleading: "My lord, please don't tell Mr. Li that the villain said it."
After getting the information he wanted, Chen Kan had already entered the door. How could he still hear clearly what the old madam was saying.
After entering the painting boat, Chen Kan went straight to the third floor. Along the way, countless Yingying Yanyan threw flirtatious glances at him. If it weren't for his strong self-control, he would have fallen long ago.
Hearing the man's growl and the woman's gasp coming from inside the door, Chen Kan broke in without hesitation.
"Ah~"
"Who is looking for death?"
Chen Kan successfully harvested the woman's screams and Li Jinglong's angry curses.
"Master, something big has happened."
Chen Kan shouted with an anxious look on his face.
"Chen Kan, you fucking..."
Before Li Jinglong could even greet Chen Kan's eighteenth generation ancestor, Chen Kan threw all the robes on the floor in his face.
"My lord, something serious happened to Jin Yiwei. Come back to the Yamen with me."
Seeing that the anxious expression on Chen Kan's face did not seem to be fake, Li Jinglong forcibly held back countless sentences about the quintessence of Chinese culture.
While putting his robe on his body, he cursed and said, "What could happen to Jin Yiwei?"
"Let's go, it's too late to explain."
Li Jinglong cursed and walked out of the boat with Chen Kan, and his guards carried a soft hat over.
Li Jinglong sat on the couch, then looked at Chen Kan with an unhappy expression and asked, "What's going on?"
Chen Kan followed Ruanyu and said, "Master, our lives may be in danger. The commander wants to lead us all to death."
Li Jinglong said dissatisfied: "You should tell me what happened."
Chen Kan pretended to be scared and said with added jealousy: "Most of the officials in the capital have been arrested and sent to prison, including several third-rank officials. My subordinates wanted to stop them, but they couldn't move. They, please go back and take a look."
"What?"
Li Jinglong almost fell off his bed in shock at Chen Kan's words, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
"Is Ji Gang crazy?"
Cursing angrily, Li Jinglong looked at the guard carrying the carriage and cursed: "Why are you lingering? Go faster."
"Huh~"
Seeing the anxious look on Li Jinglong's face, Chen Kan couldn't help but feel relieved.
Once the matter was done, with Li Jinglong's intervention, not to mention that all the officials arrested and imprisoned this time could be released.
But at least a few fewer people will die.
In a hurry, there was only so much Chen Kan could do.
Rush all the way back to Jinyiwei Yamen.
As soon as Li Jinglong entered the gate, his face instantly darkened when he saw the busy scene of Jin Yiwei.
In particular, there was a steady stream of officials outside the yamen being taken to prison, and many of them were familiar faces to Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong's face felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a dead fly.
"Crazy, crazy, who told them to do this?"
With a roar, Li Jinglong turned to look at Captain Jinyi beside him and shouted angrily: "Why are you still standing there, go and beat the military drum."
The captain in Jinyi ran away, and Li Jinglong got off the carriage and walked towards the teaching ground angrily.
Swearing as he walked.
"You idiot Ji Gang, if you want to die, why are you dragging me along..."
Chen Kan also pretended to be anxious and followed Li Jinglong, but his eyes were extremely clear.
When he saw Fang Xu entering the Yamen with the Minister of Punishment in his hands, he couldn't help but glance at him with admiration.
Chen Kan's strategy is actually very simple, which is to find a way to make things worse until they can't be ended.
Because it is obviously impossible to rescue so many officials by relying on conventional means alone.
Especially after something as big as King Jin's rebellion happened, the furious Zhu Di would definitely not listen to any advice. The more advice he gave, the more people would die.
Since conventional methods were ineffective, Chen Kan simply did the opposite.
If you don't want to arrest people, then you can arrest them vigorously and put everyone in prison.
After arresting everyone and no one doing anything, Chen Kan didn't believe that you, Zhu Di, could govern the country by yourself.
This is called risking one's life to survive!
It's a simple and crude strategy, but looking at Li Jinglong's expression now, you can tell that it's very easy to use.
On the teaching field at night, a rapid drumbeat suddenly sounded.
The busy captains in Jinyi were stunned and hurriedly put the suspects in their hands into the prison, and then trotted all the way to the training ground to gather.
Then, they saw the governor, who had always been indifferent, standing in front of the training ground with an angry look on his face.
