Chapter 479: Indiscriminate Filling

A few days later, Jiang Zhan finally received news about the matter.

The leaders of the border have now sent troops to deal with the bandits.

However, the identity of those bandits could not be clarified.

What they got rid of was the bandits entrenched in the border area, who did look like people from the Western Regions, but unfortunately they couldn't ask for much information, and those people died.

"The bandits' matter is settled, why are you still sullen?" When Xue Yao came over with the child in her arms, Jiang Zhan was looking at the letter in his hand, his eyes were full of coldness.

"The people at the border have solved some of the bandits according to the instructions, but I just received news that the people who secretly detailed our caravan are probably not the bandits who have been eliminated."

Jiang Zhan's men had already reached the border, and they had found some clues.

"You mean that the border guards are likely to be deliberately perfunctory, and did not really investigate the people who attacked the caravan, but randomly eradicated a few bandits to fill the number?"

If this is the case, the emperor's position in the court is probably more troublesome than they imagined.

"I hope that's not the case." But as things stand, it's all true.

"The identity of the person who attacked our caravan is deeper than we thought." Xue Yao originally thought that the matter was over, and when their caravan went to the Western Regions in the future, it would not be attacked.

Now it seems that she has relaxed too early, and this matter is inseparable from the people in the Western Regions.

It's a pity that they have no evidence now, and there is no way to directly find the lord of the Western Regions and secretly inquire about this matter.

After all, the relationship between the two countries seems to be good, but in fact, they have always been on guard against each other, and when it comes to these things, the other side not only will not tell the truth, but may also cover it up......

Subsequently, Jiang Zhan continued to send people to investigate, only to find that the guards on the border of the imperial court may have played an indispensable role in this matter.

Without their tacit consent, the people of the Western Regions would not have been able to enter a no-man's land on the border.

They must have relied on the emperor to be far away, thinking that no one in the imperial court would pay attention to this matter, so they secretly colluded with the people of the Western Regions, and they came forward to rob the caravan's goods, and then they secretly divided it equally.

The caravans were of great value, and they must have gained a lot of money by robbing so many caravans.

However, at present, there is no basis for his speculation, and even if the emperor believes it, he cannot directly punish the people involved.

Not only that, but once this matter spreads, it will also affect the stability of the two countries.

So Jiang Zhan could only let his henchmen continue to lurk at the border, trying to find evidence of their collusion.

After Xue Yao found out, he also secretly assisted him.

After all, it is about the stability of the two dynasties, and if there is really an accident, the final result will not be what they want to see.

Time passed day by day, and the DPRK and China no longer seemed to be sad about the affairs of the Western Regions, but Jiang Zhan never gave up in private.

If it was just a simple bandit, he wouldn't mind sending a few more people over and secretly helping to deal with the matter.

Unfortunately, according to the news from his subordinates, some caravans were attacked after they reached the border between the Western Regions and our dynasty.

However, the matter had just subsided, and they didn't dare to make it too obvious, so they just stole some property and didn't hurt anyone's life.

Jiang Zhan's subordinates followed the clues to investigate, but before they could find any clues, they were caught.

It turned out that when Jiang Zhan ordered people to stare at them before, someone was paying attention to his actions.

After all, his status in the court is different from others.

He is the emperor's confidant and has a sharp eye, if he is targeted, I am afraid that the next thing will not be carried out.

As soon as Jiang Zhan's men were caught, he was interrogated.

But he refused to say anything, and kept silent.

"We know that you are Jiang Zhan's subordinate, and your resistance is meaningless." The other party seemed to see through his thoughts, so he directly pointed out his identity.

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't know who you're talking about." His eyes darkened.

These people are really prepared, and they actually know everything.

"Since I can tell your identity, I have already determined your origin, in fact, since you stepped into this land, you have been under our surveillance, you did not commit a crime in our hands before, I will spare you once, but unfortunately you did not cherish it!"

The man told him all the things he had done since he came.

Jiang Zhan's subordinates could no longer defend themselves.

It turned out that he had fallen into the trap of others since he came here, but he didn't notice anything, and he deliberately did so many things.

Now that they have been caught, it is not known whether he will survive or not, but he still insists on keeping silent.

After all, whatever he says now, he may be used again by these people.

So he simply didn't open his mouth, so that no matter how many things they found, they would not be able to get evidence......

However, he didn't expect that the other party would actually send a message directly to Jiang Zhan.

After Jiang Zhan learned that his subordinates had been arrested, he instantly had a bad premonition in his heart.

He thought he would be able to find out everything by sending someone over, but unfortunately he got his own men into it.

If you want to save him now, you have to come forward yourself, so that what he is doing will be discovered by others.

At this time, Jiang Zhan suddenly received a summons from the emperor.

"Does Your Majesty know what you did?" Xue Yao frowned.

"Since the other party dares to write to me, there must be a way to disclose the news to His Majesty without leaking a trace." Jiang Zhan was not surprised by this.

He knew that if the other party grabbed his handle, he would definitely poke it out directly.

"Then Your Majesty will not blame you!" After all, the emperor has already asked the military department to deal with this matter.

"I'll go over first, you don't have to worry, even if Your Majesty really blames, you won't really punish me." In doing so, he was worried about peace between the DPRK and China.

If His Majesty is really angry, he will admit it.

However, they can't do anything about these things, so they can only depend on the emperor's attitude.

"Be careful!" Xue Yao said with a worried face.

"I did this, without harming the interests of the court, Your Majesty reprimanded me at most, you take the baby to rest early, you don't have to wait for me to come back." Jiang Zhan felt that he might come back very late.

"Okay." Since having a child, Xue Yao and Jiang Zhan have not been able to spend a warm and sweet night alone at night like before.

Their child is a human spirit, although he sleeps in the same room, but he can't smell the smell of Xue Yao's body, he sleeps extremely unsteadily.

There was no way, Jiang Zhan could only order someone to change to a big bed and place the child in the innermost, while the couple rested outside.

The baby felt Xue Yao's body temperature and taste, and then began to sleep obediently......

When Jiang Zhan passed, he found that the emperor's face was very ugly.

"You want to send someone to investigate the border between the two countries, and I will definitely not stop it, but you shouldn't make it so obvious, now that your people have been arrested, what do you want me to do?" The emperor was a little angry in his heart.

After all, Jiang Zhan didn't tell him at all when he was doing these things.

Now if he hadn't received a letter from the other party, he wouldn't even know that Jiang Zhan had actually done such a thing.

"Please forgive your majesty, this matter is indeed a thoughtless matter for Wei Chen!" Jiang Zhan knelt down expressionlessly.

"As the secretary of the Criminal Department, what is your duty, you know it in your own heart, I don't want to have a next time!" The emperor said in a deep voice.

He was a member of the Criminal Department, and it was just enough for him to meddle in the affairs of the Military Department, and he was arrested for evidence.

The emperor had a headache about this, but he didn't want to scold Jiang Zhan excessively, after all, he did it for the sake of the court.

If he is too harsh, I am afraid that he will hurt the hearts of the important ministers.

What's more, the person who can catch Jiang Zhan on the other party must have planned in advance.

If they really didn't have a ghost in their hearts, how could they have dug the trap earlier.

"Your Majesty's lesson is that Weichen will definitely be careful in his actions in the future, but at this time, there is something strange, please let Your Majesty know!" Jiang Zhan didn't want to do this, but he knew in his heart that his actions this time were indeed too big.

If you don't handle it well, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to dispel the emperor's anger......

"Don't ask about this anymore, I have a gap in my heart, you can retreat first." The emperor's face was pale.

"Wechen retired." Jiang Zhan said everything he could say, but the emperor never agreed, and he couldn't help it.

The news of Jiang Zhan's reprimand by the emperor soon reached the ears of the ministers, and some people who had long wanted to teach him a lesson seized the opportunity.

They all felt that Jiang Zhan's existence could threaten the forces behind them at any time, so they wanted to pull it out.

Jiang Zhan has carefully investigated since listening to the reminder of the Ministry of War, and there are indeed some ministers in the DPRK and China who have behaved strangely recently.

However, he never got the evidence that they were sorry for the imperial court.

So Jiang Zhan could only endure it for the time being, but when he went to court the next day, those ministers directly participated in him.

"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that Lord Jiang has overstepped his authority, he is in charge of the cases of the Criminal Department, but he is still deliberately hiding from everyone to investigate the matter of the Military Department, please Your Majesty severely punish Lord Jiang." He pointed out Jiang Zhan's sins with reason.

Several ministers in the court chimed in.

After all, everyone has their own rules, if everyone is like Jiang Zhan, how will they manage their own affairs in the future.

"Lord Jiang's actions are indeed inappropriate, but they are not to the point where they have to be punished, right?" Wu Yuanheng said.

He and Jiang Zhan didn't care about official positions, they only cared about the people and the court, so he knew that Jiang Zhan had indeed overstepped the rules, but he was still willing to intercede for him.

After all, everyone knows the reason why he did this, but unfortunately all they care about is their own secrets and rights.

Wu Yuanheng couldn't get used to their style, if he didn't do something that was sorry for his conscience, how could he be afraid of others to investigate.

"Lord Lu is right, Weichen has indeed crossed the line, and in the future, Weichen will definitely reflect on his mistakes today, and he will never do it again in the future." Jiang Zhan saw that the emperor was embarrassed.

Although he didn't want to punish himself in his heart, he was indeed caught by the tail.

This time he was careless, so in order not to embarrass the emperor, Jiang Zhan had to stand up and admit his mistakes.

Jiang Zhan's behavior of taking the initiative to plead guilty made the ministers of the DPRK and China quite satisfied.
