Chapter 174: The World Is As Black as a Crow
"Just you?" Jiang Xihu laughed sarcastically, Li Jicai, how could He De actually say such a thing? "Don't think that you are lucky enough to do a little thing in the process of suppressing bandits, you can be so bold."
Jiang Xihu felt that Li Jicai was a little arrogant, wouldn't this be tantamount to offending him? Jiang Xihu doesn't like people to offend her.
"Yes, it's up to me, do you dare?" Li Jicai's gaze was very calm, looking at Jiang Xihu's eyes without blinking, very confident.
"This has nothing to do with whether you dare or not, you have no name and no share, why should I give you such power?"
"Then you can give me a title now, and make me your subordinate? I didn't know that His Royal Highness the Prince couldn't even do such a trivial matter. Li Jicai naturally said the words of squeezing Jiang Xihu.
Jiang Xihu smiled strangely: "The radical method is useless to me, but since you want to stay here, shouldn't you make a gesture of praying for me, instead of being so domineering, do you say?" ”
"Simple." Li Jicai directly stuffed the lunch box on his lap into the hand of the maid standing next to him, then stood up and walked towards Jiang Xihu's front, and then knelt down in front of Jiang Xihu with a "poof".
Jiang Xihu was stunned for a while.
Is this woman so stunned?
"What the hell do you want to do? You speak first. ”
"I don't want to do anything, just in case other things happen in this place, and if I can make amends in time here, I won't interfere with the actions of the others under you."
"Conditions, in exchange, what are you going to talk to me about?"
Li Jicai knew that she had nothing now, and she didn't have anything to talk about with Jiang Xihu, but she couldn't directly express her suspicions, which was a little scary, so she could only bite her lip vigorously and not speak.
But she insisted, insisted on doing so.
Jiang Xihu could see the stubbornness in Li Jicai's eyes, and knew that she would never give up until she achieved her goal.
just looked at her for a while, and after a while, Jiang Xihu finally relented.
"I will send someone to watch you and watch your every move, and the doctor will follow you until you are cured, and when the time comes, I will call you back, and you must not have any reason to stay here."
"A gentleman's words are hard to chase."
"You're also worthy of a gentleman?" Jiang Xihu snorted, then put away the pen and paper and walked towards his carriage.
He agreed that Li Jicai would go back.
Before he boarded the carriage, he suddenly turned around and said to him: "Don't forget the matter of going back to that county order, the clerk must record this matter carefully, and then pass on the letter to me?"
Li Jicai looked at him and smiled slightly, and then gestured with his right hand to make an "OK" gesture.
Jiang Xihu didn't recognize this posture, he looked at her strangely, he wasn't stupid, Li Jicai's action clearly meant to agree.
Now that she has agreed, and the conditions of the previous constraints have been agreed, there is nothing to worry about.
This time, Li Jicai didn't tell him too many details, but she did put the fire, which is undeniable, and it can be regarded as her ability.
Otherwise, according to Jiang Xihu's thoughts, if you want to break through this cottage, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.
He suspected that the government was colluding with the mountain bandits, but there was no evidence.
Now Li Jicai personally confirmed that there is indeed a problem with the county order, and if she is allowed to take action, it is easy to say.
What's more, she insisted.
I don't know why Jiang Xihu doesn't want to face Li Jicai, who is too stubborn and persistent, such people are often a little scary and easy to get into the horns.
If his concerns are right, then if something else happens in the follow-up chair, Li Jicai will first press the formation here, and then he will come back when he turns back.
After all, now he is just going back to Beijing to recover his life, and when the negative is over, he can also come back.
Although it is a little tiring to go back and forth, it is better than facing those bad old men every day, and it is always a change of environment and experience.
Since you have chosen to be unwilling to plan behind the scenes, unwilling to live under others, and want to fight, then you will be generous.
Anyway, he Jiang Xihu really hasn't been afraid of anyone since he was a child, even if his mother is not favored by his father, so what? Isn't he still living in this intriguing and step-by-step court?
That's it.
Li Jicai and Jiang Xihu parted ways here, Jiang Xihu returned to the capital, while Li Jicai returned to Kuayi to deal with the rest of the affairs.
The people who came and went quickly had already received the news that their daughter-in-law had successfully solved the trouble.
The court also knew about it one after another.
On the eve of Jiang Xihu's return to the capital, Gao Dedi secretly called the prince to his study to discuss political affairs.
No one outside knew what the emperor had said to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but when the prince came out, his face was ugly and he was extremely impatient.
It's impossible to guess.
But those who have a heart still suspect that this matter may be related to the fourth prince Jiang Xihu.
Because everyone knows that the bandits in Liangzhou, the place of praise and chair, is what His Majesty wants to hand over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to deal with, so as to accumulate His Royal Highness's reputation among the people.
Over the years, there have been many things for the purpose of His Majesty's actions, and most of the time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has obeyed, and a few times he has not obeyed.
Only this time, it was taken advantage of by the four princes.
Some people say that the fourth prince just hides and does not show himself, because he did not come to the right time, and with a strange temperament, no one can grasp his thoughts.
But now it's different, now His Royal Highness the Prince is taking the initiative to show himself and take the initiative to establish meritorious deeds, although the suppression of bandits is just a small thing, but everyone feels that this is just the beginning.
The court knew about it, and even Xi Zien, who was now in Jinzhou, knew about it.
At that time, they were purging corrupt officials in Jinzhou, to be precise, Qi Qingchu was doing it, and Xi Zien was watching from the side and did not interfere.
Of course, by the way, ask for some gossip.
It's just that recently, Qi Qing checked and checked, and somehow found out about the collusion between the government and the businessman.
Because he suspected that the officials were abusing their power for personal gain and profiteering for businessmen.
Of course, the primary target of this profiteering is the well-known Jiang family in Jinzhou, Jiangnan.
It can be said that the entire Jinzhou in the south of the Yangtze River has received the benefits of the Jiang family, and there are also many officials in the Jiangnan area.
After all, it is absolutely impossible for the Jiang family to make their business bigger and stronger by relying on themselves alone, and it cannot be achieved if there are no officials paving the way in front.
There is no way to say that the Jiang family can go to the capital to do business, it is simply a fool's dream.
Somehow, Qi Qingchu bit this point like a mad dog, and pardoned an official when he found one.
It's just that he hasn't moved the Jiang family yet, but all the officials in Jiangnan have a hunch, did the Jiang family offend Qi Qingchu?
So much so that Qi Qingchu came over to take revenge on the Jiang family and wanted to uproot the Jiang family?
Those officials thought so, and Jiang Li didn't need to say much.
This time, Qi Qingchu came to strictly investigate them, damaging many of their relationship networks, and many officials even said that they would settle the relationship with the Jiang family in the future, and no one would owe anyone anything, and they should not have anything to do with each other, as if nothing had ever happened.
In this way, all the benefits and conveniences they gave to the Jiang family were all recovered, which was a huge blow to the Jiang family's business.
Therefore, the Jiang family's business in the capital was temporarily suspended.
All the energy was withdrawn to the family to deal with the impact of Qi Qingchu with all his might.
Qi Qingchu himself didn't realize that he was about to become the public enemy of all the officials in Jiangnan, because he was too impartial, selfless, and iron-blooded, and he didn't drag his feet in handling the case at all, let alone have any room for turning around.
When he caught an official, he beat him to death, and listed the things he had done, one by one, and displayed them in front of the people around him, which was even more uncomfortable than stripping him of his own clothes.
Many officials committed suicide in shame because they had no shame to face, and some even committed suicide in shame, along with those family members.
Qi Qingchu's behavior has been sought after by some people, and of course it has also been criticized by some people.
At least those people who had been oppressed by the officials were all very supportive of Qi Qingchu, and those who were almost implicated in the officials were crazy one after another to write to the court one after another, asking them to take Qi Qingchu, the plague god, back quickly, not in the local area, as long as they were in trouble, they really couldn't stand it.
You must know that the world is as dark as a crow, and no one is clean.
Qi Qingchu himself knew this, but he still refused to let go.
Even Xi Zien, who made a lot of noise in his ears every day and persuaded him to hurry back to the capital, he didn't hear it.
Xi Zien was also warned by his parents, they meant to imply that Qi Qingchu should not offend everyone, and it would be difficult to end it at that time.
Making too many enemies is not a good thing after all. What's more, Qi Qingchu was in the whirlpool of power, and he should be even more cautious, not to make a big move, as the so-called Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, it is better to be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
Even Xi Zien's parents were wondering if Qi Qingchu had been stimulated by something, so he would do such a thing, according to his usual reason, it was absolutely impossible for him to act so impulsively, and there was no need to be so sharp.
Hearing such words in Xi Zien's ears, he himself felt that he couldn't explain clearly.
Although he was so close to Qi Qingchu, he had never understood his thoughts, let alone such a thing happened now.
Although he always doubted that Qi Qingchu would be like this, the reason for the performance was rooted in Li Jicai's death.
Specifically, from that time on, Qi Qingchu's performance began to be abnormal.
But he couldn't figure it out, but he was just the proprietress of a small restaurant, as for causing him to be so excited?
