Jiang Zhan listened to the emperor's request and agreed directly.

Since the emperor wants to clean up all the ill-intentioned ministers in the court, as a courtier, he naturally contributes.

What's more, this time it is not difficult for him to only match and act.

The emperor didn't stay in his mansion for too long, so he took his men and left quietly.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, the emperor was not lightly ill this time, and he should be recuperating in the palace at this time.

Since Jiang Zhan sat in the position of the secretary of the Criminal Department, there are many officials who follow him, after all, the Criminal Department is now in his final hand.

Officials of the Criminal Department, large and small, almost all had to act according to his orders.

Jiang Zhan was very strategic, and he had already subdued them, of course, this matter was also acquiesced by the emperor.

He asked Jiang Zhan to manage the Criminal Department, naturally he was relieved to hand over everything to him, even if the officials of the Criminal Department were all looking down on him, the emperor was not afraid of Jiang Zhan.

He once doubted Jiang Zhan because of the matter of the Seventh Prince, but after that time, they untied the knot.

The emperor completely trusted them as husband and wife.

There are so many ministers in the DPRK and the central government, he can't manage it alone, and now Jiang Zhan can take the people from the Criminal Department for his own use, he is very happy.

After all, Jiang Zhan obeyed him, while others obeyed Jiang Zhan, and he was still the one who made the final decision.

There are so many people in the court, but Jiang Zhan knows his mind best, and he can help him deal with trouble every time.

So the first thing the emperor thought of pretending to be sick was Jiang Zhan, after all, he had done the same thing before.

At that time, he pretended to be poisoned, but he deceived all the officials in the court.

After Jiang Zhan made a decision with the emperor in private, he contacted his own people and asked them to pretend to have an argument with him and isolate himself.

He thought about it, only if the emperor's situation in the court is more difficult, those who hide in the shadows will take the initiative to come out.

Before Xue Yao was plotted, Jiang Zhan has not found out the murderer so far, and he is angry about it in his heart.

Now, after the emperor told him those words, he felt that it was very likely that this matter was done by one person.

Anyway, when he finds out, he will naturally be able to catch that person.

The other officials of the Criminal Department were stunned by Jiang Zhan's request.

"What are you doing here, sir?" Isn't it good for the officials of their criminal department to be harmonious, why are they acting.

"You all know the recent situation in the court, and now His Majesty's side is in danger, and there is only a limit to what I can do for him, so I will protect you for the time being, and then go to find out who is going to be unfavorable to Your Majesty." Jiang Zhan did not tell the truth directly.

However, he also hinted that he had always followed the emperor.

"Do you mean that you want us to draw a line with you for the time being, and then make peace when the situation between the DPRK and China is stable?" No one who can sit in this position is a stupid person.

So it didn't take long for someone to figure out Jiang Zhan's intentions in doing this.

"Now the situation is changing, and this official can't see through it, I was single-handedly promoted by His Majesty, if the DPRK and China have been turbulent, I'm afraid that my position as the secretary of the Criminal Department will not be very stable, after you cut off the relationship with me, naturally no one will touch you anymore, so you can also keep the peace of the Criminal Department......"

In order not to reveal the emperor's plan, Jiang Zhan found a lot of excuses, and finally made them all believe his words.

Everyone understood Jiang Zhan's painstaking efforts, and agreed after thinking about it.

Although they wanted to advance and retreat with him, Jiang Zhan's approach was good for everyone.

After all, if the imperial court can't maintain stability, how can they avoid it.

The next day, the news of Jiang Zhan's dispute with his subordinates in the Criminal Department soon spread throughout the capital.

Some officials in the DPRK and China were very concerned about this matter and even went to test Jiang Zhan one after another.

However, Jiang Zhan left directly as soon as he went to court, and he didn't give the ministers a chance at all.

The disputes within the Criminal Department became more and more intense, so much so that Jiang Zhan was also targeted by others in the court.

Originally, he was so young, and he sat in the position of the second grade, and there were many people in the court who hated him.

They even wanted to pull Jiang Zhan down and replace him with himself.

The location of the head of the six is too attractive.

It's a pity that the emperor is bent on protecting Jiang Zhan, so they have no way to start.

Recently, the emperor's spirit has been getting worse and worse, and even his throne has been in turmoil.

The servants of the court directly participated in Jiang Zhan's book in public.

He accused Jiang Zhan of accepting bribes to enrich his own pockets, and asked the emperor to severely punish him.

"Is what the servant said true?" After the emperor heard his words, he questioned Jiang Zhandao in public.

"Please Your Majesty, since Weichen entered the court, he has never accepted a bribe, not to mention that there is no shortage of silver in Weichen's family!" Jiang Zhanyun denied lightly.

"There is no shortage of silver, which does not mean that Lord Jiang will not accept other silver." The servant of the ministry said.

"Do you have proof?" The emperor was emotional, and his heart was even more hesitant.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has found some clues, Lord Jiang has indeed received something that does not belong to him." The servant of the ministry swore that Jiang Zhan had received other people's silver.

"Uchiko started doing business as soon as she arrived in the capital, and now she has made some achievements, why does Lord Yu think that I will ruin my reputation for such a little silver?" Jiang Zhan glanced at the other party with a sneer.

"How could Xia Guan know what Master Jiang was thinking, Xia Guan just said what he knew!" He didn't care what Jiang Zhan said, he was convinced that he was corrupt.

"Your Majesty, if Weichen is really greedy, how can he be caught so easily, Weichen implores the emperor to find out about this matter and give Weichen justice!" Jiang Zhan knelt on the ground and said.

Some officials who are good friends with Jiang Zhan want to intercede for him, after all, anyone in the DPRK and China can be corrupt, but Jiang Zhan will not.

The couple took money out every month to help some homeless little beggars in the capital, and even took the initiative to set up a school to take them in to read and write, so that they could support themselves in the future.

Not only that, but they will take in both boys and girls, and they will treat them equally.

Xue Yao knew that their business might become an obstacle to Jiang Zhan in the future, so she deliberately used these acts of kindness to eliminate the malice of others.

These things are done by their husbands and wives in the name of the emperor, they give money, and all the fame of yes is the emperor's.

The emperor did get a lot of benefits from it, and he and Xue Yao secretly cooperated.

Although he has a private treasury, he often rewards concubines and others, and his private treasury will be emptied one day.

Xue Yao's business is really good, so he became a shareholder, and he has been able to get a sum of money every month.

This is also the reason why the emperor secretly supported their husband and wife in business.

After all, the money they earned did not fit into their pockets, but was used to settle the suffering people and homeless orphans.

So the emperor knew that he didn't care about silver, for them, silver was used to make their lives better, and it was not that important at all.

However, the emperor could only follow the words of the servant of the ministry, pretend to reprimand Jiang Zhan, and continue the scene.

In the end, the emperor agreed to Jiang Zhan's request and sent someone to investigate the matter again.

The servant of the ministry knew about this matter, and he couldn't move Jiang Zhan at all, but as long as he could be suspicious of the emperor, the matter would be considered successful.

After Jiang Zhan went back, he immediately asked his subordinates to investigate the people in the mansion.

Since he didn't accept bribes, but the servants had evidence, the only explanation was that someone pretended to be his identity and accepted the money sent by others.

In the past, their husband and wife firmly controlled everything in the house in their own hands.

However, since Xue Yao was pregnant and poisoned, she instructed others to take care of many things in the house.

After Jiang Zhan's subordinates investigated thoroughly, they found that one of the subordinates in the mansion seemed to have been bought by someone else.

After finding out about the matter, Jiang Zhan directly ordered someone to bring the housekeeper over.

He really didn't expect that the housekeeper in the house would be bribed by others, and he didn't know anything.

"Tell me, who told you to do it?" Jiang Zhan asked in a cold voice.

"Please spare your life." The butler trembled with fear.

"Shut up, I'll give you another chance, tell the mastermind behind the scenes, or you take the responsibility for him this time, you choose one yourself!" Jiang Zhan took a step back without a trace, he didn't want to be touched by strangers.

"Villain......" The housekeeper's eyes flickered, and he couldn't make a choice at all.

"You took other people's things in private and didn't say anything, you dared to frame me with this, when you came into the house to serve, you should remember what I said, right?" Jiang Zhan said coldly.

"Never betray your master." He didn't expect Jiang Zhan to find out his identity so quickly.

"Since you know everything, do you knowingly commit it?" Jiang Zhan interrogated him for more than an hour, but he was never able to get any useful clues out of his mouth.

So Jiang Zhan handed him over directly to the emperor.

That person originally found a lot of property in Jiang Zhan's mansion, and he thought that he would not escape punishment this time.

As a result, Jiang Zhan had already quietly found out the truth, and handed over everyone to the emperor to deal with, and they were a step too late.

The emperor didn't have the energy to ask about it, so he directly ordered someone to send the housekeeper to the prison of the Criminal Department.

Jiang Zhan's hand deeply crushed their carefully arranged plan.

After the housekeeper was thrown into the prison of the Criminal Department, many officials of the DPRK and China asked him to avoid suspicion.

He knew that everyone wanted to continue to frame him, so he really let go.

The housekeeper suffered a lot in prison, and he regretted it very much, he didn't directly confess everything to Jiang Zhan at the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up like this.

In fact, he was just greedy for a few hundred taels of silver, but the price he paid was too great.

He was tortured here every day, and it was more painful than killing him.

Two days later, an official from the Criminal Department presented the butler's confession to the emperor.

This matter involves Jiang Zhan, so many people in the court are staring at it, and the emperor has always attached great importance to it.

If the person who accepted the bribe was not Jiang Zhan, then he would continue to sit in the seat of the secretary of the criminal department.

However, if the thing was really done by him, then his black gauze hat would be removed by the emperor himself nine times out of ten.

In order not to be affected by both sides, many people in the DPRK and China do not dare to express their stance directly.

The confession had the butler's handprint, but the content was too far from what he had said before.

Jiang Zhan felt that this confession might not have been voluntarily drawn by the housekeeper at all......
