Chapter 23 Settle accounts after the autumn
After sending Wei Yun away, many powerful people in Yangzhai City did not leave, but followed Jiang Ji's convoy to the palace of King Qin.
Guo Qu is still recuperating from his injuries in the mansion, because he did not come to bid farewell to Wei Yun, and among the remaining people, there is no doubt that Chen Lei and Wei Ji are the leaders.
The two of them sat first on the left and right, and the others sat behind the two of them according to their official positions.
Jiang Ji sat on the top, looking down at the others, and it seemed that there was no difference as usual.
But after knowing Jiang Ji's record yesterday, no one dared to look at Jiang Ji like before.
At this moment, seeing Jiang Ji's oppressive eyes sweeping over, except for a few people, everyone else lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at Jiang Ji.
"You should already know what happened yesterday, right?"
All of you are powerful people in Yangzhai City, and they are the most well-informed.
Although it happened in the Qin Palace, and the Qin Palace was also rectified by Bai Yan before, let alone such a big thing, even if it was some trivial matter, as long as they wanted to know, there was a way to know about it.
This is the power of the Ground Serpent!
Not only did they know about what happened in the Qin Palace, but they all knew about the specific situation.
"There is a huge Yangzhai City, where the capital of the entire Qin State is located, but Lone has been assassinated repeatedly in his own palace, which is really a big joke in the world!"
Jiang Ji has the momentum of a great victory, coupled with his own identity and status, and he still occupies the name of righteousness at this moment, which makes these high-ranking snakes on weekdays dare not speak at all, so they can only lower their heads and dare not look at Jiang Ji.
"What's the matter? Speak? You don't know how to speak and speak well, and you all boast that you can be outstanding, so why is this happening? Or is it that someone has an affair with a bandit and wants to die alone?"
As the words fell, Jiang Jina was domineering and full of murderous momentum.
Now that you have exposed your strong strength, you don't need to hide it anymore, you can use it when you should use it.
"The king is angry. ”
Chen Lei stood up helplessly.
Jiang Ji's words have already been said to this, if no one refutes it, wouldn't it be true to what Jiang Ji said?
Isn't he derelict in his duty as the minister of state, and he didn't even realize that there were such rebellious people under him?
Therefore, he had to come out, unlike Wei Ji, although his status is high, his position has nothing to do with these things, and he can sit firmly in Diaoyutai.
In fact, in this case, Chen Lei is not easy to come forward, after all, he is also very suspicious of the assassination, and he is suspected of exculpating himself no matter what.
The current situation is a dilemma.
However, looking at the situation of other people, it is obviously impossible to expect someone to take the initiative to meet Jiang Ji's anger, in this case, Chen Lei can only bite the bullet and stand up helplessly.
"The assassin's skills are not bad, but it is not difficult to infiltrate Yangzhai City, of course, there must be people who are derelict in their duties, Lei will strictly investigate when he goes back, and he will definitely give the king an explanation. ”
"Heh......" 3A Reading Network
Jiang Ji couldn't help but laugh.
This Chen Lei really thought that he was a prince who didn't have much experience and grew up in the deep palace, and he dared to perfunctory him like this.
Chen Lei will definitely plan to find a few scapegoats and finish the matter in the future, but since Jiang Ji has gathered so many people with such fanfare today, how can it be just to get angry?
"There will definitely be a dereliction of duty among them? Strict investigation? Chen Xiang, Gu asks you, how long has it been since Gu was assassinated for the first time?"
Under Jiang Ji's extremely sharp eyes, Chen Lei was a little nervous for a long time, and even couldn't help but feel a trace of fear, as if he would be torn to pieces by Jiang Ji at any time.
As soon as he heard Jiang Ji's questioning, he was even more covered in cold sweat, and he actually replied with a stammer: "Hurry up...... It's been almost a month. ”
After that assassination, in order to get rid of suspicion, he didn't dare to act rashly at all, but just sent someone to search for the assassin, but he didn't know that it became a sore foot for him today.
"A month!"
Jiang Ji sneered: "In a month's time, you haven't even found out, how can you let Gu believe you? How do you believe that you won't just find a few substitutes for the dead ghosts? Or do you deliberately let these people exist?"
"This ......"
Chen Lei's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, the minister is loyal to the empire, this heart can be seen by the sun and the moon, the heaven and the earth can be expressed, and the minister will never do such a rebellious thing." ”
"As for the negligence of the ministers before, the ministers will find out the dereliction of duty as soon as possible and write to the court to ask for guilt. ”
Opposite Chen Lei, Wei Ji quietly watched the development of the situation, and after seeing that King Qin finally tried to see the dagger, he felt both expected and a little incredible in his heart.
Thinking of what King Qin had done during this time, Wei Ji couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The King of Qin in his understanding is definitely not what he is now, otherwise even if the family behind him is not in harmony with King Qin's mother, he will not be so cold to King Qin.
King Qin's methods at this time are still a little immature, but there is no doubt that with the various abilities he has shown, not to mention the appearance of a king, at least he is a very good heir.
Could it be that King Qin's previous activities were all disguises? It wasn't until after this assassination that he decided to attack that position?
I have missed the best time to invest before, and even left a pimple in King Qin's heart, for the sake of the future of the family, let's try to ease some of the relationship!
Thinking of this, Wei Ji suddenly got up, and then said respectfully: "Ji has something to say about this matter. ”
Jiang Ji turned his gaze from Chen Lei to Wei Ji, looking at this national master who had always seemed to be out of the way, he frowned imperceptibly, but still said: "Wei Fu has something to say, just say it." ”
"Thank you. ”
Wei Ji turned his head and swept the entire hall, and finally stopped at one person: "County Lieutenant Wang, you are responsible for the daily security of Yangzhai City, and you are to blame for such a big mistake!"
Although Yangzhai City is the capital of the Qin State, it is still a county seat, so there are county orders, county lieutenants and other officials like other counties, who are responsible for the daily affairs of the city, just as the capital of the imperial court will have positions such as Jing Zhaoyin.
Of course, because this is the relationship between the national capital, their actual power is much smaller than that of ordinary county commanders and county lieutenants, and they are not so free, and even if they encounter ministers and lieutenants with a strong desire for power, they can only clamp their tails and be people.
County Lieutenant Wang had been pressing the button in his heart to pray that the fire would not burn to him, but unfortunately it backfired, and at this time, under the gaze of the three bigwigs, he was powerless to refute at all.
"It is the minister's dereliction of duty that will allow the thieves to infiltrate the city, and the minister is guilty. ”
