Chapter Twenty-Three: How Have I Assassinated You?
Thinking like this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, no wonder the ancients had many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, this is really no wonder for them, mainly because they are too comfortable to be corrupt officials.
If you don't do anything, you can get the money while sitting at home, and she is willing to give it to her.
Thinking in her heart, she couldn't help pinching her thigh, she couldn't change her personality, she was a clean official now.
Just thinking that the door behind him opened, the porter changed his attitude, and saw that Zhao Qingnan was not as arrogant as he was just now, and said very politely: "Lord Zhao, my lord, please come in." β
Hearing this, Zhao Qingnan didn't say anything, and now is not the time to hold grudges, so he directly raised his feet and entered the Chen Mansion.
Chen Wei sat on the chair and looked at the fact that he was already in his thirties, and he was in the prime of life.
Seeing Zhao Qingnan coming in, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said with a calm face: "Lord Zhao is such a big official, before he entered the door, he put up an official shelf to scare the concierge of my Chen Mansion." β
Hearing this, Zhao Qingnan was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "Lord Chen misunderstood, although I, Zhao Qingyun, am only a minor official of the eighth grade, it is also an official of the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and the ancients said that the prime minister's concierge is a seventh-grade official, and it is just a polite remark."
After all, the subordinate is the subordinate, and there is no official position, and the prime minister's concierge is only a seven-grade official, and the concierge who doesn't drive is afraid that even the little officials can't reach it. The lord openly asked a porter to insult the court officials, this matter is said to be bigger, it is the adults who have no court, do not put the court and the emperor in their eyes, and at the very least, it is said that Lord Chen is not strict with the emperor, no matter how you say it, you can't complain about the officials.
Or did the lower officials misunderstand, and it was not the little servant of the Chen Mansion who was guarding the door, but a colleague of the official residence of the seventh grade? If this is the case, then the adult's subordinates are really talented, and a seven-grade court official is willing to be a gatekeeper in the Chen Mansion, which is really unprecedented. β
One sentence made Chen Wei speechless, and he looked at Zhao Qingnan, his eyes were full of anger.
Zhao Qingnan doesn't care, no matter how horizontal you are, you won't be able to do it for a while, you will be a fish on the board later, it won't take long to jump, what is she afraid of.
Besides, she writes novels and runs trains with her mouth, and if she quarrels, she can't choke an ancient, so she can find a place to die, and save the face of her peers.
Seeing that Chen Wei was speechless, Zhao Qingnan sat down with a smile: "Lord Chen is not here today to argue with Lord Chen, but to ask Lord Chen about something. β
Hearing this, Chen Wei remembered what Zhao Qingnan had asked the porter to pass on just now, and the expression on his face suddenly turned cold.
immediately straightened his face: "What are you going to say?" β
"Xia Guan is no longer detouring, about the case of the Li family's house, someone saw Brother Ling coming out of the house and carrying two heads into the Yang family's swill bucket. Let's not talk about whether this person was killed by Brother Ling, just say that he threw this person's head into the swill bucket, and it is not a trivial matter to blame the Yang family.
You must know that Yang Xuanyan, the old lady of the Yang family, is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, although he is now returning to his hometown, there are still two sons in the family who are high and powerful, the eldest son is the secretary of the criminal department, and the second son is General Weibei with heavy troops. If they knew that Chen Yong deliberately framed him and wanted to blame the Yang family, I don't know how these two would talk to Lord Chen. As he spoke, he took a sip of the teacup on the table, and then frowned.
"Have the tea leaves in Lord Chen's house been left for too long, why do you drink a musty smell?"
Hearing this, Chen Wei looked at Zhao Qingnan's eyes and moved, and instructed the housekeeper standing aside: "Change a cup of tea for Lord Zhao." β
The butler stepped forward and went down with tea.
When the freshly brewed tea was served, the smell of tea could be smelled from afar, and Zhao Qingnan said with a smile: "This is the taste of tea, I just said how can there be such an inferior thing in this don't drive the house." β
Chen Wei heard that Zhao Qingnan was deliberately sarcastic about him, and he didn't say anything, just looked at Zhao Qingnan: "You have evidence to prove that the head of the Yang family is related to my second brother." β
"Well, I am afraid that Lord Chen will not believe it, so I specially asked my master to transcribe a confession and bring it over for my lord to see." As he spoke, he beckoned to Sun Delong, and Sun Delong presented the confession he was about to prepare.
Chen Wei is not Chen Yong after all, and after so long in the officialdom, the stakes are still clear.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of such a way to blame Xiao Junyi in the first place.
It's just that according to his plan, Xiao Junyi died in prison, and Zhao Qingnan was too busy to take care of himself, so there was no way to investigate this case.
The longer the case passed, the more difficult it was to find out, so I didn't go to check the corpses in the yard.
In addition, Chen Yong never mentioned the matter of the head from beginning to end, but only said that he had killed someone.
Looking at Zhuang Qiwei's confession now, the look on Chen Wei's face could no longer hold back.
His face became more and more ugly.
Zhao Qingnan didn't rush when he saw it, knowing that there were some things Chen Wei was afraid that he didn't know, so he immediately said softly: "Lord Chen, don't be so anxious, but this matter is done by Chen Yong, one person does things and one person is responsible, as long as Chen Yong takes the initiative to explain things clearly, both the Yang family and the Xiao family must be sensible, and they will not blame Lord Chen for this matter." β
Looking at the smile on Zhao Qingnan's face, Chen Wei only felt that his muscles were bulging.
His heart was beating extremely hard, and he looked at Zhao Qingnan: "Lord Zhao, in that case, don't blame me for being unkind today." β
Hearing this, Zhao Qingnan looked at the ruthlessness in Chen Wei's eyes, but his expression was not panicked: "Why does Lord Chen want to keep me for dinner?" β
"Lord Zhao is really in danger, but I don't know if you can eat this meal." As he spoke, he shouted directly: "Someone! β
Immediately, someone appeared and directly surrounded Zhao Qingnan.
Seeing that the Chen family had already prepared, Zhao Qingnan took a sip of tea and took a sip: "Lord Chen, when I entered the mansion, many people saw it, if something happened, Lord Chen was not afraid that it would be difficult to explain?" β
Hearing this, Chen Wei sneered twice: "What do I have to be afraid of, Lord Zhao is already frail, I heard that he fell off the horse inexplicably while riding a horse a few days ago, and it is not a strange thing that he suddenly fell ill and died in my mansion now." After Lord Zhao dies, I will arrange it properly, so that people can't see any clues. At that time, even the imperial doctor in Beijing will feel that Lord Zhao is suddenly ill. β
As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Qingnan, and the look in his eyes became more and more cold: "Zhao Qingyun, if you want to blame yourself, if you don't have to investigate this matter and ruin my plan, I don't need to make this decision." β
Hearing this, Zhao Qingnan was stunned: "What Lord Chen said seems to have become my fault, could it be that I forced Chen Yong to kill and frame the Yang family, or did I fail to die under Lord Chen's assassination, and failed to do what Lord Chen wanted?" β
"How have I ever called for an assassination of you?" Chen Wei asked coldly when he heard this.
But Zhao Qingnan was blinded, could it be that he was plotted on Nanmen Street by Chen Wei's hand.
She originally thought that all this was Chen Wei's hand, so that she could seal this case in the dust.
But looking at Chen Wei's face now, it seems that he was wrong.
A thought flashed through his mind, and Zhao Qingnan only felt chills all over his body.
