Chapter 459: The East Window Incident

When Jiang Zhan went to the imperial study, the housekeeper in his house had already been pressed in the palace.

The moment he saw Jiang Zhan, a trace of guilt and panic flashed in his eyes.

In fact, he didn't want to confront his master in front of the emperor, but he really had no choice.

If you don't plant everything on Jiang Zhan's head, then the one who dies is yourself.

He can't bear such a big thing alone, and with the degree that the emperor values Jiang Zhan, his family will definitely die.

So the housekeeper did not hesitate to stand up and wronged Jiang Zhan, in order to save his life, he couldn't care about anything else.

As everyone knows, his actions are pushing his family into Huangquan Road.

"Do you know that this confession is related to Jiang Zhan's life and death?" The emperor knew that the housekeeper was slandering Jiang Zhan.

However, at the moment, all the evidence is in the hands of others, even if he is the king of a country, he cannot directly refute other people's confessions.

"Although the villain is just a little housekeeper, it is a matter of the villain's life, and the villain does not dare to lie!" The housekeeper glanced at Jiang Zhan and said, "At the beginning, these things were ordered by the prince to be accepted by the villain. ”

"If it's his, why is it in your room?" Such a clumsy excuse is afraid that only the person in front of him can say it.

"Childe was worried that the East Window incident would be punished by the emperor, so he deliberately hid those things in the villain's room, and the villain also felt that something was wrong at that time, but he didn't dare to disobey Childe's will!" The butler explained.

"Really?" The emperor's eyes lit up, "Do you have any evidence for this?" ”

It's impossible for him to just listen to the other side.

"There are still people in the house who can testify for the little ones!" The housekeeper knew that the emperor could not easily believe it based on this confession and his own words.

"Who?" The emperor's eyes flashed slightly.

The butler said the name of a villain in the house.

"I will find someone to confront him in this matter, if you dare to lie, I will take the life of your whole family!" The emperor's words contained a hint of murderous intent.

"The villain doesn't dare!" He fell to his knees and shivered.

The emperor's words were like a knife hanging over his head.

He didn't know if he could hide it.

However, he could only hide it to the end, after all, from the moment he accepted other people's money, he had already decided to betray Jiang Zhan.

Things are like this, except for biting Jiang Zhan and letting him carry all the black pots, he has no way to live at all.

The people behind the scenes had long expected today's situation, and they didn't have a chance with him at all.

At the beginning, he thought that after fooling Jiang Zhan, he would leave the capital directly and take his family to live in the countryside.

When the matter is leaked, Jiang Zhan will definitely have the ability to wash away the charges on his body, and he will not be implicated.

It's a pity that the other party has insight into his heart early on, and after he accepted the money, he immediately took out the evidence that he had filled his pockets, as well as the news that he betrayed his house behind Jiang Zhan's back.

The housekeeper was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

So since then, he has become a tool for others to deal with Jiang Zhan.

He didn't even have the slightest room to resist, so he could only push Jiang Zhan into the trap step by step according to the other party's instructions.

However, he never regretted doing this at all, after all, with Jiang Zhan, although he could get a rich monthly allowance every month, it would still take a few years to save a few hundred taels of silver.

So for the sake of silver, he finally attacked Jiang Zhan and his wife who were carrying him......

When the emperor saw that he insisted on biting Jiang Zhan, he knew that this matter was not so easy to end, so he ordered someone to take the other party down for the time being.

Subsequently, he took Jiang Zhan and several other officials in the court to the main hall to discuss the matter.

Jiang Zhan and Wu Yuanheng are the only people in the DPRK who can mediate with them.

If Jiang Zhan is framed and has an accident, Wu Yuanheng is only afraid that he will not be able to hold on alone.

He wanted to help the emperor stabilize the dynasty with his own strength, which was completely wishful thinking.

Therefore, those people wanted to spare no effort to kill Jiang Zhan.

Only when Jiang Zhan is gone, all his forces will collapse, and in order not to cause Xue Yao's counterattack, they want to blame the emperor for the disaster.

They felt that as long as Jiang Zhan was ordered to be executed by the emperor, Xue Yao's anger would go towards the emperor at that time.

That's when they'll have one more helper......

"What do you think about this?" Several officials standing in the main hall are all confidants of the emperor.

In this turmoil, they seem to have been wise to protect themselves, but they have actually been doing things for the emperor.

The emperor can make others think that he is hopeless, and he has acted with them several times in private.

Now, those ambitious officials in the capital have begun to move, but how happy they are dancing at the moment, how miserable they will be in the future. The emperor's mind is not something they can guess.

"Your Majesty, the housekeeper in Lord Jiang's family should have been controlled a long time ago, so he didn't dare to tell the truth!"

"Now, things have come to this point, Wei Chen guesses that they will definitely bite Lord Jiang to death!"

The emperor listened to the ministers' words, and his heart was not calm.

In fact, he can guess all this, but at the moment he has no way to crack it, but he is unwilling to really put Jiang Zhan in prison, once the power in his hands is gone, then the minister who thinks badly in the center will no longer have any scruples.

Wu Yuanheng's strength alone is a drop in the bucket.

At this time, the subordinates sent by the emperor to investigate Jiang Zhan's matter returned.

"Your Majesty, when I went to Lord Jiang's mansion to get people, they were already missing, and on the way back, we found the bodies of those people!" They were also very surprised by this.

The emperor didn't expect them to move so fast, as soon as the housekeeper said the other party's name, they were killed, obviously the other party knew the truth early on, so when the housekeeper spoke, he ordered someone to kill.

"Everyone is dead, how can Lord Jiang's innocence be proven?" Several officials were troubled.

"However, now is also an opportunity, the people who confessed by the housekeeper may be in the same group as him, even if they are alive, they may not be willing to help Lord Jiang testify!" Another official said.

"It's still Lord Zhao who has seen it thoroughly, the housekeeper has already betrayed the lower officials, presumably there are still many of his comrades in the house, this time those people were suddenly killed, and the housekeeper's testimony is not so credible!" Jiang Zhan hooked his lips and said.

In fact, the death of those people has something to do with him, although he did not kill them with his own hands, but he always knew that those people would not live for more than five days.

However, Jiang Zhan didn't remind him from beginning to end, but sat back and waited for the show to begin.

Originally, he just wanted to see how many tricks the other party had, but as soon as others made a move, they couldn't do anything.

The emperor felt that this matter was indeed beneficial to Jiang Zhan, so he let Jiang Zhan go back on the pretext that both sides insisted on their own words and the evidence was insufficient.

After all, one is the secretary of the criminal department, and the other is the housekeeper in his house, and everyone knows who they should believe.

The person who designed to frame Jiang Zhan, but he didn't expect that the person they had worked so hard to buy would be killed so quickly.

Now, the housekeeper's words have completely lost their strength, and Jiang Zhan's status in the court, if he is not pulled down once, he will not only rise to the top in the future, but may also find out their identities.

If Jiang Zhan had been by the emperor's side, it would have dealt a fatal blow to their plans.

So, in order to forcibly detain the crime on Jiang Zhan, they ignored those who were lost, and vigorously slandered Jiang Zhan and said that he killed the people.

When the next day came to the court, the ministers quarreled over this matter.

"Your Majesty, Lord Jiang deliberately killed so many people in order to get away with it, please Your Majesty must punish it severely!"

"What does this matter have to do with Lord Jiang, when those people died, Lord Jiang was clearly in the palace!"

"If someone else is not in the house, you can't kill people?"

"The entire Shangshu Mansion is his, he wants to get rid of a few subordinates, why do he have to do it himself, as long as he secretly commands, someone will naturally do it for him!"

"Your Majesty, there is no proof of death now, and what they said is simply slander!"

"Hmph, it's clear that Jiang Zhan directed and acted in this play, but you still want to blame others, what's the reason?"

……

The courtiers quarreled loudly, which made the emperor feel very bad, and even in anger, he vomited blood and fell into a coma.

After the emperor fainted, he was taken away by his personal guards, and all the ministers were dumbfounded.

They were all very sick with the emperor, but they didn't expect him to be unable to withstand the stimulation.

However, when the emperor fainted in the court, there were many people who were happy in their hearts.

They may not know that someone is already targeting them.

The emperor suddenly fell ill, and Jiang Zhan's matter was known for the time being, after all, he was the secretary of the Criminal Department, and there were very few people who were qualified to interrogate him.

Now, they all know the other party's status in the emperor's heart, and if this matter is not in line with the emperor's wishes, they may lose their officials.

As a result, the ministers of the DPRK and China did not dare to raise the matter of taking Jiang Zhan into custody.

Everything is just as Jiang Zhan thought, and now the people in the court who are afraid of him dare not touch him anymore, after all, every time they send out people, they all return with feathers.

Jiang Zhan is really difficult to clean up, but his roadblock hinders the possibility of them wanting to go further.

They had no other way than to move the stone out of the way.

After the emperor woke up, he asked the people around him to convey his message, and he said that he would definitely investigate the case to the end, and if Jiang Zhan really did such a thing, he would not tolerate it......

When Jiang Zhan learned that the emperor woke up, he guessed that he was fine.

After that day, Jiang Zhan no longer went to court, but quietly followed the officials in the court who targeted him.

He felt that those people should have been arranged.

Jiang Zhan deliberately told him to stay at home, just so that he could freely dig out the other party's secrets.

After the emperor guessed his thoughts, he kept secretly mentioning the people around Jiang Zhan and asking them not to let go of those people.

After following him for a few days, he found that these people had gone to an extremely secret place in private.

Jiang Zhan followed and found that they were in that place with other officials of the DPRK and China.

Those people talked happily with the officials, Jiang Zhan had been listening quietly, it turned out that he was wronged this time, and it was their secret handiwork.
