Chapter 336: Imprisoned
After the people of the Seven Princes fought with them, they found that their martial arts foundation was not low.
It took a lot of effort for them to gain the upper hand.
However, just as they were about to arrest someone directly, the other party suddenly sprinkled some powder.
Then, while they were covering their mouths and noses, Jiang Zhan's subordinates immediately performed light skills and left.
The people they personally selected were all first-class subordinates, and the people of the Seven Princes couldn't catch up at all.
At this time, Jiang Zhan and the others had successfully arrived in the capital.
However, it was too late for them to return, and the gates were already closed.
In order to get back quickly, they hurried back overnight, and the gates had to wait until dawn to open.
In desperation, they had no choice but to wait outside the city for the time being......
On the other side, the Seven Princes' subordinates failed to bring Jiang Zhan and Xue Yao back smoothly, and the Seven Princes immediately became furious.
He had never seen such a stupid person.
Jiang Zhan and the others did not have many men this time, and the Seventh Prince thought that he would definitely be able to bring them back by sending all his subordinates.
As a result, they returned empty-handed, how could the Seven Princes not be angry.
"What are you all doing to eat, so many people are chasing them, and you can still let them run away?" The Seven Princes angrily smashed the teacup in his hand.
His teacup smashed into his man's forehead, but the other man didn't dare to dodge......
"It's all the incompetence of subordinates, please forgive your highness!" They knelt on the ground and said.
"Do you know how much of a threat Jiang Zhan and his wife will have to the situation of this prince after they go back?" The Seven Princes couldn't wait to kill the person in front of him directly.
They had promised that they would bring people back, but they came back empty-handed.
"Please punish Your Highness!" It was over, and they had nothing to say.
After all, it was indeed their carelessness this time, and if they had been more cautious at that time, they would not have been deceived.
"Get out!" Although the Seven Princes wanted to kill them and calm the anger in their hearts.
However, this time he has lost enough of his men, and he can no longer kill them at will.
His people were taken back to the capital by the crown prince, and it was impossible to save them, and the seventh prince had no intention of saving them.
Once those chess pieces are known by the emperor, they will have no effect, and it is better to wait for the emperor to dispose of them than to save them.
In this way, he does not have to worry that those people will accidentally confess some clues that are unfavorable to him, and he does not have to go to great lengths to hide them.
However, such a big loss made him and Jiang Yuchen's three years of hard work in vain, and the jade pendant he had carried with him for several years also fell into the hands of Jiang Zhan and his wife.
The more the Seventh Prince thought about it, the more angry he felt, after he arrested Xue Yao, he just wanted to recruit them, and he had no murderous intentions.
As a result, Jiang Zhan lived up to his kindness, and dared to poison him.
"Your Highness, the matter is a foregone conclusion, what are you going to do next?" His henchmen guarded.
"Pack up your things and go back to Beijing immediately!" After the Seventh Prince calmed down, he made a decision in an instant.
Now that the crown prince brings those people back, he will definitely hand them over to the emperor.
He's going to rush back anyway.
Even if he can't do anything, he has to find a way to get the blame out of himself.
He will not lose to the crown prince and Jiang Zhan.
At this time, Jiang Zhan and Xue Yao, who were far away outside the capital, were suddenly woken up.
"What's going on?" When the couple woke up, they found that a lot of officers and soldiers had suddenly arrived outside.
Now the place where they live is surrounded by officers and soldiers......
"They seem to be coming for you!" Jiang Chengfeng said expressionlessly.
"Could it be that the Seventh Prince secretly informed Jiang Yuchen?" Xue Yao said in a low voice.
"Impossible, even if Jiang Yuchen knows about those things, he won't dare to abuse his power!" Jiang Zhan's eyes were cold.
"Let's go out and have a look!" Xue Yao was very worried in her heart, but it was a blessing or a curse, and she couldn't avoid it.
Since those officers and soldiers are likely to come to Jiang Zhan, they have no other way but to face it.
After all, this is the gate of the city, and they can't go as long as they want to go in.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Xue Yao questioned the humanity of the leader.
"This matter has nothing to do with you and a female streamer, you'd better get out of the way, don't delay us arresting people!" The leader scolded coldly.
"You rushed over with great momentum, and you are going to arrest my husband without asking, can't I even ask?" Xue Yao said with a cold face.
"Lord Zhao, what do you mean by this?" Jiang Zhan and this person are officials in the same dynasty, even if they don't have any friendship with each other, they still know each other.
"Lord Jiang, I am also acting on the orders of the emperor, and please don't embarrass us!" Zhao Dadao.
"What crime have I committed, and the emperor will personally order someone to arrest me?" Jiang Zhan said with a hint of darkness in his eyes.
"The lower officials are also following the orders of the emperor's face, as for the inside story, the lower officials are not clear, Lord Jiang should go and ask Your Majesty in person!" Lord Zhao didn't want to explain too much.
After all, there are some things that they are not qualified to know.
How the emperor acts, they, as courtiers, dare not speculate at will.
However, Lord Zhao also wondered in his heart, this Jiang Zhan had been away from the capital for more than half a month, and he had never returned during this period, so it was said that he should not have angered the emperor.
Now that the emperor ordered them to come and arrest Jiang Zhan, Lord Zhao was full of doubts in his heart.
However, his identity does not allow him to talk too much, and sometimes the less he knows, the safer he is.
So he never asked why, but only did what he was told.
"Ah Zhan?" Xue Yao grabbed his sleeve, his eyes full of worry.
They couldn't guess the emperor's mind at all, what if Jiang Zhan went directly with them and couldn't get out?
The emperor's mind is the most difficult to guess, not to mention that they don't know which one the emperor is singing.
Jiang Zhan was extremely irritable at this time, if he didn't leave with Lord Zhao, it would be disrespectful to the decree, and when Lord Zhao directly let the officers and soldiers do it, he would definitely implicate Xue Yao and them......
"Brother Jiang?" Ling Haoxuan saw that his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
He didn't want Jiang Zhan to be arrested, but there were so many officers and soldiers here, and they couldn't leave with just a few of them.
What's more, Jiang Zhan is now an official of the imperial court, they really want to do this, and Jiang Zhan and Xue Yao will only have to live as fugitives in the future.
Jiang Zhan and his wife have worked hard to have a place in the capital, and if they are disrespectful, then their efforts will be wasted.
At this moment, Jiang Zhan's heart was also weighing the pros and cons.
He thought that when he returned to the capital with Xue Yao, everything would be over.
Who wants to be a wave of unsettled, wave after wave.
Now he has no way out, after all, what he wants to do has not been completed, at this time, Jiang Zhan absolutely can't, desperately take Xue Yao away.
So, he decided to go back with Lord Zhao.
He didn't do anything wrong, and he wasn't afraid that the emperor would suddenly attack.
When Jiang Chengfeng learned of his decision, he was not surprised at all.
Jiang Zhan is a man who is upright and responsible, and this time he and Ling Haoxuan have nothing to do with this matter.
By his nature, he would not have drawn them into it.
Everything was as he expected, Jiang Chengfeng appreciated Jiang Zhan more and more......
"Sister, I'll go with you!" Ling Haoxuan was very worried that the emperor would put them in prison.
"Jiang Gongzi, please help us take care of Haoxuan!" It was absolutely impossible for Xue Yao to let Ling Haoxuan go with him.
He is a child, and he should not be involved in these troubled and complicated things, not to mention that Jiang Zhan and her may be in trouble this time.
Xue Yao didn't want Ling Haoxuan to suffer with him, after all, he was just a child, even if he lived with them all the time, the emperor should not be held accountable......
"Sister, I'm not leaving!" He has lived with Jiang Zhan and his wife for so long, and he has long regarded them as inseparable relatives.
Now that they are in trouble, Ling Haoxuan is naturally reluctant to leave.
"Come with me!" Jiang Chengfeng saw that the attitude of the husband and wife was very resolute, so he directly grabbed his arm and wanted to take him away.
The emperor directly ordered someone to come over, obviously this time the matter is not small, Jiang Chengfeng feels that this matter is likely to be related to the Seventh Prince.
However, he is a man in the rivers and lakes, and he has no way to get involved in the affairs of the imperial court.
He didn't know at all whether Jiang Zhan would be punished by the emperor, but as a partner, the only thing he could do now was to take care of Ling Haoxuan for them and not let him do stupid things.
This guy is not very old, but he is very smart, and he has his brother with him.
Jiang Chengfeng was afraid that after Jiang Zhan and Xue Yao really had an accident, he would do something unexpected desperately.
So, he decided to look at Ling Haoxuan in person before this matter was over.
If he doesn't have other thoughts, it is naturally the best, once he has other thoughts, Jiang Chengfeng will definitely not care.
Xue Yao's accident this time has something to do with him, now that their husband and wife have encountered a tricky matter, he will never ignore the morality of the rivers and lakes and directly leave them alone.
When Jiang Chengfeng left with Ling Haoxuan, Lord Zhao didn't stop him, after all, his target was Jiang Zhan and his wife.
"Lord Zhao, can you let my inner son go back too?" Originally, these people came to arrest him, and he didn't want Xue Yao to be disposed of by the emperor with him.
"No, please ask Lord Jiang and Mrs. Jiang to go back with the subordinates!" At first, Lord Zhao didn't plan to arrest Xue Yao.
However, he thought that Jiang Zhan seemed to have been with Xue Yao all the time on this trip, so he changed his mind.
He did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, but in this matter, he speculated on the holy will himself.
"Whether you live or die, I will face it with you!" Xue Yao looked at Jiang Zhan, and the corners of her lips slightly curled.
"Good!" Jiang Zhan held her hand.
The emperor did this suddenly, and Jiang Zhan's gathering was probably related to the people brought back by the prince.
After the prince came back, Jiang Zhan didn't know what happened, after all, his thoughts in the last few days were completely on Xue Yao's body.
In order to obtain the jade pendant, they did not consider the situation in the capital at all.
Jiang Zhan didn't even write a letter to the prince, so that they were arrested without knowing the situation at all.
Xue Yao was nervous, but in order to keep Jiang Zhan from feeling guilty, she kept hiding her thoughts.
Death is not terrible at all, what Xue Yao is afraid of is that death is better than life......
