Qian Quanyou's old face was naturally not red by the newspaper, but blushing with shame.

I think he has been sitting on the household department for many years, he is in a high position, he has always been held high, and he is trusted and reused by the emperor on weekdays, and the emperor treats him very leniently. From time to time, there will be something delicious and useful, and I will reward it for the eunuch to send to the Qian Mansion.

But today, he was slapped in the face by the emperor with a newspaper.

"How many times did I tell you before Qian Dai left Beijing? Let him honestly assist Jiang Long, that is the political achievement that can improve millions of acres of fertile land, which is enough to be compared with the founding generals! Is such a big achievement not enough for him? Do you have to clash with Jiang Long and squeeze one out? The old emperor was furious and walked around the hall quickly, "Really squeeze out Jianglong, who can dig a good river and improve millions of acres of fertile land for me in that territory in northern Xinjiang?"

You, or money to wear? The old emperor's finger almost poked Qian Quanyou's face.

"Weichen knows his mistake!"

"You say you know your mistakes, but you don't believe in your heart, right?" The old emperor snorted coldly, "You have served in the household department for many years, don't you know the twists and turns?" If you take out 10 million taels of silver from the treasury, how much can you really allocate to Lingtong County? ”

Qian Quanyou bowed his head deeply.

"Humph! Or maybe you didn't take my words seriously? ”

"Weichen doesn't dare!"

"Don't dare? You're bold! There is also money to wear, your good grandson, all the way, honest and greedy for gold and silver, just on the way to Lingtong County, I am afraid that at least 100,000 taels of ink are greedy! The old emperor vigorously shook the long sleeves of the dragon robe, "Since you don't take my advice to heart, then I can only let your grandson come back." ”

"Your Majesty!" The money is all in a hurry.

"Don't you still understand how important it is for Daqi to improve millions of acres of fertile land in northern Xinjiang?"

Qian Quanyou had a bitter face, "Weichen obeys." ”

"Let's go down."

"Yes." Qian Quanyou opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he finally held back.

When only the old emperor and the old eunuch were left in the main hall, the old eunuch said: "What does the emperor plan to let Jiang Long offend next?" ”

"When the twelfth brother helped me ascend the throne, I have always treated him very well, but ......"

After a while, a holy decree went straight to the capital of Dingdu, and the next evening Pingjiang Wangfu received the holy decree, and the holy decree pointed out that Zhao Yi, the third son of the king of Pingjiang, would go to Lingtong County to assist Jianglong to dig the river and reclaim the fertile land.

In the afternoon, Qian Dai returned to the foothold, and after listening to the masked man's report, his brows furrowed.

Actually missed?

Suddenly killed an archery master, named Fan Ren, who was once a famous knight.

"Why not assassinate!" Qian Dai did not pause because of a miss, but wanted to continue the assassination by surprise. Most people will quickly stop to avoid the limelight after the first stabbing attempt, but Qian Dai is not afraid of anything at all. These masked men are dead soldiers, and they will commit suicide if they fail to do so. It is impossible to be captured alive, and even if he is captured alive, it is impossible to confess him.

What can Jiang Long, who has no evidence, do to him?

Indeed, Jiang Long finally decided to let him go, but ......

The next day, the weather was fine and cloudless, Jiang Long took the initiative to invite Qian Dai to take a walk by the river outside the city to have a look, Qian Dai readily agreed, a little uneasy, so he took dozens of entourages to travel together. Coming to the side of the artificial river dug into water, Qian Dai jumped out of the carriage on the back of the little guy.

Qian Dai can also ride horses, but he is a civil official, and he travels either in a carriage or in a sedan chair.

Jiang Long rode the snowfield of the divine horse, looking at the frozen river.

"Master Jing is very capable." Qian Dai took a few steps forward, looked at this artificial river channel with no end in front and no end in sight, and praised, "Such a big project, it only took a few months to dig it up, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Lord Jing is a capable minister." ”

"But I'm going to scold you for being ruthless!" Jiang Long's expression was indifferent.

"Huh?" Qian Dai frowned?

"You sent a few masked men to assassinate Hou Jiang." Jianglong got straight to the point.

Qian Dai sneered, "Who is Hou Jiang?" I don't recognize it. No one knows him, so why did the official send someone to assassinate him? Moreover, under the hands of this official are all guards and entourage who walk outside the Ming Dynasty in the open, and there are no masked people. If there is no evidence, please don't wronged the official. ”

"Admit it or not, at this point, is there a difference?" Jiang Long said suddenly.

Qian Dai's heart tightened, and he couldn't help asking, "What do you mean?" ”

"Look!"

Following Jiang Long's fingers, Qian Dai's face changed greatly, and he saw that behind the hill not far away, hundreds of masked men riding tall horses suddenly rushed out, "You want to kill this official?" ”

"You were called out by me, and you are my assistant, if I can't take you back, I will inevitably blame and suspect you."

"Kill!" Before Qian Dai could speak again, hundreds of masked men had already rushed over wielding scimitars.

This location was set by Jiang Long in advance, so it was only a dozen zhang apart, but in the blink of an eye, the masked man had already rushed to the front, and the scimitar in his hand was either chopping or cutting, and it didn't take much effort to kill the dozens of guards brought by Qian Dai.

Qian Dai gritted his teeth, and had the intention of letting his subordinates catch Jiang Long and hold him hostage, but after seeing a tall young man hand Jiang Long a spear, he rested. The leader of the masked men had reported to him before, saying that Jiang Long had good skills. Don't act too aggressively, annoy Jiang Long, and kill yourself at that time.

Broken arms and stumps, rivers of blood!

The three of them charged, dozens of guards of the Qian family and several servants who were waiting close to each other all fell in a pool of blood.

"Hou Jiang." Jiang Long suddenly called.

Hou Jiang tore off the black scarf on his face, jumped off his horse and walked over with a smile, "My lord! It's really relieving to kill just now. ”

"There's one more thing that's more relieving."

"What?"

Jiang Long pointed at Qian Dai, who was standing alone by the river blowing the cold wind, "Beat him, beat him hard, as long as no one dies." ”

"Great!" Hou Jiang was assassinated by Qian Dai's faction, his stomach was on fire, and when he heard this, he unceremoniously clenched his fists and rushed towards Qian Dai.

Qian Dai was originally angry in his heart, dozens of guards were killed like this, and Jiang Long actually called a masked man over in a big rage, and he didn't hide it at all, until he saw Hou Jiang coming with a fierce expression, and he panicked, "You dare to let people beat this official?" Alas......"

"Stop fighting!"

"Please stop fighting."

Qian Dai originally wanted to be a tough guy, but when his fists and feet fell heavily on his body, he realized how painful it was for Lu Dao to be beaten. Because he was smart, he didn't get beaten when he was a child. It's the first time I've been beaten like this when I've grown so big.

The beaten mouth begged for mercy and rolled on the ground.

Hou Jiang received Jiang Long's handover and kicked the money into the pile of dead people.

After a while, Qian Dai's body was covered with dust and blood.

It wasn't until he was done spreading his anger that Hou Jiang stopped, and at this time, the masked people had already cleaned up the battlefield, and then Hou Jiang took him away. Not long after running away, these people took off their scarves and turned around and went straight to Lingtong County. These people are all the people who have been trained by the Inspection Department and He Zao.

"You, you, aren't you afraid that this official will hand over an excerpt to the emperor?" The masked people all left, and Qian Daicai, who was covered in dirt, pointed at Jiang Long and shouted.

Jiang Long shrugged his shoulders and looked at the embarrassed Qian Dai playfully, "You also said it, there is no evidence." ”

"You!" Qian Dai almost vomited blood in anger.

Let people throw Qian Dai on horseback, Jiang Long and his party turned back to the county seat, and some people saw it on the road, since someone stepped forward to explain that it was Jiang Long and others who came out of the city not long after, they encountered a group of horse bandits with hundreds of people, Qian Dai left dozens of guards to resist, and they fled back first.

Qian Dai gritted his teeth depressedly, eager to pounce on Jiang Long and bite a piece of Jianglong's meat.

The final result was naturally that all the Qian family's entourage guards were killed.

When the masked leader learned the news, he naturally temporarily canceled his plan to go to Lingtong County to assassinate him, quietly came to the Qian family's foothold, and asked Qian Dai to find out what had happened. couldn't help but secretly hate, knelt down and asked to go to Hewu County immediately to kill He Bu.

The middle-aged scribe didn't go with him today, otherwise he would have lost his head this time.

Hearing this, he dissuaded, "Jiang Long is not easy to provoke, if Gongzi Ye dares to assassinate Hou Jiang, he will dare to kill dozens of guards on our side, if he really does not do anything, Gongzi is afraid that it will be difficult to return to the capital." ”

If it was before today, Qian Dai naturally didn't believe what Jiang Long would dare to do to him. But after today's incident, he suddenly understood that Jiang Long was even more decisive and bold than him, otherwise he couldn't let Hou Jiang beat him. Thinking of the taste of punches and kicks on his body, Qian Dai hesitated.

The assassination was suspended.

Although he lost dozens of guards, Qian Dai still had dead soldiers in his hands, and it was not that he had no power to fight back. He just thought about stinging for a while, planning carefully before acting. It's just a pity that the emperor didn't give him a chance, and four days later, an official document from the imperial court came, ordering Qian Dai to return to Beijing immediately.

After getting the news, Qian Dai did not get angry and sat quietly in the house alone. After a long time, he sighed softly, if he had followed Chang Qian's advice earlier, he would not have been so embarrassed. He still remembered the scene when he was in the carriage and Chang Qian was standing in the snow, but it didn't take long for him to return to the capital in shame. The letter that followed the Qian family asked him not to make any more trouble and return to Beijing honestly.

Qian Dai wanted to make trouble again, but he was afraid that after the shot, he would not be able to return to Beijing.

After meeting with Jiang Long again in the county government to sign the documents, Qian Dai left Lingtong County in a hurry with the rest of the people.

Jiang Long received two official documents, one was to ask Qian Dai to return to Beijing; The other is written that Zhao Yi, the third son of the king of Pingjiang, will come to replace Qian Dai and assist him in digging rivers and cultivating fertile land. Cheng Ze heard the name King of Pingjiang and introduced it to Jiang Long.

King Pingjiang is the younger brother of the current emperor, the emperor was not the crown prince back then, he raised troops to seize the power of the capital and then ascended the throne as the emperor, and the king of Pingjiang made a great effort when the emperor was in trouble. After that, the emperor has been treating this cousin well.
