Chapter 368: Human Heart
After a slight trance, Qi Changrong came back to his senses, his eyes were staring ahead, with a salty and appropriate smile on his face, he pushed the door and walked in.
'Squeak', the laughter in his eyes disappeared instantly.
After seeing clearly who the person who came, except for Jun Chen, who was lazily leaning on the tree, the rest of the people couldn't help but look solemn, and quickly stood up, and invariably bowed to Qi Changrong, with a solemn expression.
"Wechen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."
"The folk girl has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."
"The grass people have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."
The neat voice slipped past her ears, Qi Changrong did not pause at her feet, and as she walked inside, she slid her gaze from left to right, looking at the people in this courtyard one by one.
There were more people in the courtyard than she had imagined.
Even Pei Ji was among them.
As the head of the household, Pei Ji was able to take the time to come here and bypass many complicated procedures, so you can imagine how much he attaches importance to this gathering.
Among them, Qi Changrong was not surprised to see Shen Cong'an.
When he was in Lincheng, he was one of Junchen's right and left hands.
"No courtesy."
After the faint voice was thrown down, everyone got up, like a stiff plank, standing firmly in place without any movement.
Seeing this, Qi Changrong's eyes turned around with a pretentious look, and then he looked at the big tree next to him and said with a smile: "Why doesn't the general come and sit?" β
Jun Chen lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, and said reservedly: "This is coming." β
With that, he stood up and walked slowly towards the place where everyone was sitting.
As soon as he came, Shen Cong'an and Zhou Shiren moved to the side from the good and flowed, vacating the middle position, and then the two glanced at each other, and no one could understand the lawsuit between their eyebrows.
Qi Changrong and Jun Chen sat down.
Only then did Qi Changrong look at the slightly uneasy crowd, pursed his lips and smiled: "You don't have to be restrained, just sit down." β
With this, the rest of the people finally sat down with peace of mind.
Zhou Shiren temporarily replaced the little servant and made a cup of tea for Qi Changrong with his own hands.
In the fragrance of tea, Qi Changrong's eyes fell on Pei Ji, and he instantly looked at the latter in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to speak.
Although it is said that Pei Ji's position as a scholar was planned by Qi Changrong, although she is kind to him, she is also his enemy.
After all, until now, she has not reunited Pei Ji's father and son.
The child who doesn't know the height of the sky is still trapped in the wooden house and can't leave without permission, if Pei Ji and his wife think about it very well, they are only secretly visiting, and they have never moved the idea of taking people away.
I have to say that this incident was very unexpected by Qi Changrong, she originally thought that after she left, the couple would be eager to take the child away.
Outcome......
They were more composing than she thought.
Under Pei Ji's tense nerves, Qi Changrong smiled softly: "I haven't seen you for nine months, and Master Pei's official authority is even more than before." β
"Don't dare." Pei Ji hurriedly said: "In front of His Highness, Weichen has no official authority at all. β
Pei Ji was very wronged.
He didn't do anything.
Just kidding, who is this in front of you?
You must know that Qi Changrong is the prince of the East Palace, and his immediate boss in the future!
He can play in front of anyone, but it is impossible for him to play in front of Qi Changrong.
After all, with a little planning, she can only be her subordinate and loses a lot in the end.
Seeing Pei Ji's appearance as if he was facing a great enemy, Qi Changrong instantly smiled: "Pei Qing, you don't have to be so nervous, Lone is just praising you." β
Handsome?
Who can say a compliment so dullly?
Pei Ji didn't dare to refute, and pulled out an ugly smile on his face, seeing him laughing like this, everyone unanimously looked away from him, not wanting to see this spicy scene again.
Seeing this, Qi Changrong sighed secretly in her heart, but she also understood that the current situation might get worse and worse the more she explained, so she simply didn't say anything and shifted her attention to the other person.
"Shen Qing, long time no see."
Shen Cong'an, who was standing not far away, arched his hand towards Qi Changrong, with a smile on his face: "Your Highness hasn't seen you for a long time, and I still remember Cong'an when I am tired of Your Highness." It is an honor to be from Ann. β
"You are the general's confidant, and you are also the one you trust."
"Cong Anbi should live up to His Highness's trust."
After a brief conversation, the atmosphere was not as cold as it had been at first, and soon everyone's attention was focused on the reason why they were in one place this time.
Pei Ji Zhengse said: "According to the clues provided by the General's Mansion and Qiyu, I sent someone to investigate for half a year, and I did secretly discover the secret of Jiang Taishi. β
Wen Qiyu said: "The moths in the household department have been almost cleaned up, and now I still have a list in my hand, and the people recorded on the list are all Jiang Bowen's scratching teeth." β
Zhou Shiren: "The General's Mansion has arranged countless secret guards to guard the perimeter of the Taishi Mansion, cutting off the correspondence between the Taishi Mansion and the outside world, and if His Highness agrees, it can be encircled and suppressed at any time." β
Zhao Yueqiu: "I have been in charge of nearly half of the Qian family's financial power, and if there is an unexpected situation, the Qian family is willing to help." β
A few people, you said a word, and quickly sorted out the current situation.
With their words, Qi Changrong became more and more surprised.
Although before leaving, she did hand over the things or clues she had found to a few people, and made arrangements in secret, even in the months when she was trapped in Cheng'an, she never settled down, and kept exchanging letters.
But now that the results are in front of her, she found that everything that should have been checked has been almost checked, and in nine months, Jiang Bowen's old background has been turned out by them.
After everyone finished speaking, Qi Changrong squinted his eyes and said lightly: "Gu Zeng found out that Jiang Bowen secretly raised an army, and now that army has lost more than half, there must not be much threat." β
As these words landed, Zhou Shiren was faintly excited: "In this way, the threat of Jiang Taishi has been greatly reduced, we have been preparing in secret for a long time, can we do it?" β
Qi Changrong didn't make a sound.
Killing Jiang Bowen is no longer difficult for her, but the difficult thing is how to make him confess.
What she wanted was never his life.
If one life can solve the grievances of the previous life and save the Jin Kingdom from the ruin of the previous life, as early as when she first came back, she did it to Jiang Bowen at any cost.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Cong'an guessed: "Your Highness is worried that if Jiang Bowen dies, there will be chaos in the court?" β
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Ji frowned and took over: "That's not it, now the military department, the ritual department, and the household department are all under control, and the other three departments have also injected a lot of fresh blood, even if Jiang Bowen can reach the sky, it will never be possible to make monstrous waves again." β
Zhou Shiren nodded in agreement: "Although getting rid of Jiang Bowen will be deeply involved, if you don't get rid of him, the devil knows what trouble he will cause in the future." β
Speaking of which, when he learned that Jiang Bowen was a spy, the people in this courtyard were all people who agreed to take his life.
Seeing that they were talking enthusiastically, but Qi Changrong didn't react at all from beginning to end, Zhao Yueqiu pondered for a while, and finally asked, "What scruples does Your Highness have in your heart?" β
Hearing this, Qi Changrong half-lowered his eyes and said unhurriedly: "You should know that Jiang Bowen's protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, if you can't come up with a reason that everyone can't argue, I'm afraid that there will be endless troubles." β
Hearing this, Zhou Shiren was a little anxious: "Announcing the things we found to the world, is it not enough to convict Jiang Bowen?" β
"If the world does not believe, even if the facts are presented in the eyes of the world. It's still a frame-up. β
Jiang Bowen has a very good reputation among the people and has a great reputation.
Even if he walked down the street and casually asked him what he thought of the imperial master, I was afraid that nine out of ten would say yes, and the rest would say yes.
In such a situation, the people's will is ......
rashly move Jiang Bowen, if he is not careful, it will provoke a huge counterattack.
It's good that she wants to get rid of Jiang Bowen.
But the premise is that the foundation of the country must not be moved.
The foundation of the Jin Kingdom is the people, and if the people are disappointed in the royal family, no one can imagine what the consequences will be.
"Water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat, this ideal must be understood by everyone." Qi Changrong's voice was very soft, but it could accurately reach everyone's ears: "The current situation is not a problem of Jiang Bowen not moving, but a problem of not being able to move." β
Even Emperor Jin An, who noticed that something was wrong, did not act rashly, but gradually alienated the courtier.
It is conceivable that even the emperor of the Jin Kingdom did not dare to act rashly.
Jiang Bowen has long integrated himself into public opinion.
On the day when the truth is revealed, as long as Jiang Bowen refuses to admit it, there will be countless people standing behind him.
If the royal family oppresses people, it will be considered to be a trick.
Public opinion is the most difficult thing to deal with.
The cruel truth was uncovered in front of their eyes, and everyone was speechless for a while.
Shen Cong'an took a deep breath, his face was quite solemn: "Is it difficult, can only let him be at ease?" β
"Of course not." Qi Changrong smiled faintly, and his voice was cold: "Everyone has to pay for what they do, and the same is true for Taishi Jiang, who is in a high position. β
"What His Highness said ......"
"Lone just wants to tell you that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Qi Changrong lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea elegantly: "As long as you wait, when you have the right opportunity, you can take him down in one fell swoop." β
"Lone Guarantee."
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at each other, and their expressions were indescribable.
A lot of hesitation gathered between his lips, and finally stopped at his lips because of the last three words.
The prince of the East Palace in their eyes never speaks in vain.
Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so, it means that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a plan in his heart.
They......
Those who should wait still have to wait.
Looking around at everyone with a clear gaze, Qi Changrong put down the teacup and smiled slowly: "When the time comes, the evidence in your hands will become a crucial factor." β
"Then you will be able to do whatever you want."
