Chapter 208: Jiang Ning's Strength
Not long after Xiao Ke and Gonggong Li left, Zhang Shixun came with a team of men and confronted the Imperial Forest Army that surrounded Qiao's family.
Zhang Shixun is the right-hand man of the elder Zhang Kuchan and the servant of the Criminal Department.
At this moment, he glared angrily at the royal guards besieging the Qiao family in front of him, and shouted, "Who asked you to come here to raid the house?" ”
The Imperial Forest Commander took two steps forward and said-for-tat: "We are here on the orders of His Majesty, how are you doing?" ”
Zhang Shixun was furious: "Presumptuous, why did you copy Qiao's house for no reason?" ”
"Hehe, we are just carrying out His Majesty's orders, if you have any doubts, why don't you let the Pavilion Elder personally ask Your Majesty?"
Zhang Shixun: "I'll report to Zhang Ge Lao, and even if Qiao Zhennan is guilty, it won't be your turn to deal with it by the Imperial Forest Army, and now our Criminal Department is responsible for handling it, and you should retreat immediately." ”
"Heh, we will not retreat without His Majesty's order."
"You!"
……
In the palace, Xiao Ke and Gonggong Li had just reported the income of the house to His Majesty, and after Jiang Ning heard it, he was surprised and angry.
is angry that Qiao Zhennan has so much property, and he must have done a lot of evil things on weekdays; Surprisingly, with this fund, the emergency situation of the treasury funds in the palace can be alleviated immediately.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Xiao Lizi, Xiao Ke, you two have done a good job." Xiao Lizi, you and the commander of Ouchi, order 50,000 imperial forest troops, and go to the immortal bird with Xiao Ke to get people, and you must arrest him and return to Qilin City to confess his guilt. When this is over, I will reward you both for your work. ”
Xiao Ke said to Gonggong Li in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
The soldiers were very fast, and after Xiao Ke and Gonggong Li received the order, they immediately went to find Zhang Tianci, the commander of the Great Interior, and arrested Qiao Zhennan.
When Xiao Ke and Gonggong Li had just left and had just gone to the camp of the Imperial Forest Army, Zhang Kuchan came to see His Majesty Jiangning with a serious face.
The eunuchs and the guards outside the door were unable to stop Zhang Kuchan and his gang, and several eunuchs and guards were directly pushed away by Zhang Kuchan and them, and then Zhang Kuchan and they went straight into Jiangning's imperial study.
"Elder Zhang Ge, you can't go in......"
Jiang Ning saw Zhang Kuchan and his group coming in, and those eunuchs and guards chased in anxiously and wanted to stop them, but unfortunately, although these inner guards were very strong, these old cabinet members, which of them were not level 11 and level 12 powerhouses, where could they stop them?
Seeing this, Jiang Ning's eyes flashed with a cold glint, but soon became as frivolous as before, and said with a smile: "Teacher, and Ye Ge Lao, you are all here." ”
Zhang Kuchan, Ye Xuan and the others hadn't spoken yet, and those eunuchs and guards said in a trembling voice full of worry: "Your Majesty, the elder of the pavilion wants to see you, and we can't stop you......"
Jiang Ning waved his hand: "It's okay, you all go out, the elders of the pavilion came to me in a hurry, there must be something important." ”
"Yes!"
After the guards and eunuchs withdrew, Jiang Ning also sat down again on the imperial chair and said with a smile: "Say, fellow cabinet members, why are you so anxious to see me?" ”
Everyone looked at Zhang Kuchan, after all, Zhang Kuchan was the head of the cabinet and the first assistant.
Zhang Kuchan also took it seriously, after all, he promised Qiao Zhennan that he would work hard to let Qiao Zhennan live, and now he naturally couldn't watch His Majesty kill Qiao Zhennan.
Zhang Kuchan clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, why did you copy Qiao Zhennan's house?" ”
Jiang Ning squinted his eyes: "Old Zhang, are you really unaware, or do you not know?" ”
Zhang Kuchan's face was pale: "The old minister doesn't know what His Majesty means?" ”
Jiang Ning immediately investigated Xiao Ke's Double Eagle Business Alliance, colluded with zombies, and went out for various crimes in the interests of the empire, and finally said coldly: "Now that there are human and material evidence, Qiao Zhennan is such an imperial scum, you say that I am the master of a country, can I be punished for his crimes?" ”
Of course, Zhang Kuchan did not dare to openly say that Jiang Ning did not have this right, but said euphemistically: "Your Majesty, even if Qiao Zhennan is guilty, it should be handed over to the cabinet to deal with, there is no need for Your Majesty to do it personally, this matter can be handled by the ministers and others." ”
Jiang Ning was rarely strong this time, and said loudly: "If you can handle it, you won't come to ask me why I moved the Qiao family; If you can handle it well, I will need to do it myself. I am very angry about this matter, there are people who collude with zombies, and even treat the auxiliaries as livestock, and take them to trade with zombies, this is a Qin case, you don't have to deal with it, I have already asked Xiao Ke and Xiao Lizi, and Zhang Tianci to arrest Xiao Ke. ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they wanted to persuade them again, but Zhang Kuchan suddenly felt that His Majesty had a very tough attitude towards this matter, and the imperial family would definitely deal with it personally.
The evidence of Qiao Zhennan's crime is conclusive, and he still committed the big crime of colluding with zombies and betraying mankind, and Zhang Kuchan is not too partial to help Qiao Zhennan. Anyway, he promised Qiao Zhennan that the cabinet would not send troops to arrest him, and Zhang Kuchan did not guarantee how the imperial family would act.
Therefore, Zhang Kuchan felt that he had done enough for Qiao Zhennan, and there was no need to openly turn his face with His Majesty for the sake of just one Qiao Zhennan.
So, Zhang Kuchan signaled everyone not to speak again.
When everyone saw the eyes of Lord Shousuke, they all stopped.
Zhang Kuchan pretended to be forced to agree, and said: "Okay, since Your Majesty has made a decision, then leave this matter to the Imperial Forest Army to deal with." ”
Jiang Ning didn't expect Zhang Kuchan and others to agree so easily, he couldn't help but be extremely excited and happy, on weekdays, he competed with a group of old guys in the cabinet, and every time he was crushed, this time he actually had the upper hand, rare!
In the afternoon, Xiao Ke, Gonggong Li, and Zhang Tianci led 50,000 Imperial Forest Army out of Qilin City with great momentum, and headed straight towards the immortal bird base at the junction of Zhongzhou Province and Southern Province.
……
And just when His Majesty sent Xiao Ke to arrest Qiao Zhennan, in the lawless land, Qilin City, Qin Liao and Qiao Zi'an finally made a move.
It turned out that Qin Liao didn't know that something had happened to the Qiao family, and he got the latest news from Qiao Zi'an, and Qiao Zhennan had begun to return to the Immortal Bird Base.
Therefore, Qin Liao felt that Qiao Zhennan would definitely not fall so easily when he returned to the Immortal Bird and mastered a large number of soldiers, and he also decided to help Qiao Zi'an.
However, he did not follow Qiao Zi'an's plan to attack the Steel War Regiment, after all, the Steel War Regiment has more than 10,000 fighters, and it is not so easy to destroy.
Qin Liao planned to personally attack the Steel Wheel Headquarters Base at night, and his target was Qin Bing.
If Qin Bing can be captured, then he can threaten Xiao Ke to submit and ask Xiao Ke to hand over the rescued auxiliaries and the prisoners of the Double Eagle Business Alliance. And Qin Liao firmly believes that it is impossible for Xiao Ke not to give in.
