"How much do you invest in brothels? What is the annual income? Don't you count it in your own mind?

Do you really don't know what's wrong with receiving such huge profits, or are you happy to pretend to be confused?"

Jiang Chen glanced at Cao Sheng mockingly, and continued, "I believe that Master Ma didn't cover up the old pole!

But did the concubine and Emperor Rongde think about it, if no one in the Cao family gave the traitor enough cheap and shelter, why did they honor the Cao family's millions of silver dollars every year?"

"Yes, why don't you honor my Zhu family? You don't really believe that you can make that much money a year by investing in a brothel, do you?

Do you think they also have immortals drunk and sold?"

Zhu Yinian sneered and agreed.

This?

Cao Sheng and Zhao Jinnu were asked, and their faces couldn't help but be embarrassed.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen stepped forward and pulled Cao Sheng to sit down again, and said with a frank face: "Master Ma, there are some things that the officials and subordinates don't know, but they can't bear to make it public because they are afraid of Emperor Rongde.

If you really want the good of the Cao family, don't continue to dwell on this matter in the future, so as not to hurt the benevolent heart of the official family."

"You...... What do you mean by that? Could it be that there is really someone in my Cao family......

Cao Sheng and Emperor Rongde were directly shocked by Jiang Chen's words.

"Ahh

Jiang Chen let out a long sigh, waved his hand, and asked instead of answering, "Master Pony, you should be thinking like this at the moment: "Everyone accepts filial piety, and every year collects filial piety, why did something happen this year?" Why did something happen to my Cao family?

If it weren't for Jiang Chen's female cadre who proposed to exterminate the old pole, my Cao family would still be the same Cao family as before."

Am I right?"

"I...... Even if I think so, what can you do?"

Cao Sheng looked suspicious, and his back couldn't help but ooze sweat.

scolded secretly in his heart: Isn't this Jiang Chen really a demon? Why does he know exactly what I think in my heart?

"Master Ma doesn't need to be like this, the lower officials are not ridiculing you, but worrying about my Great Song!"

Jiang Chen poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Cao Sheng, and then drank it all and said:

"Now officials are no longer thinking about the community and the people, but how much filial piety they can collect, whether they can collect more filial piety than others, and how to do so to collect more filial piety than others.

Why?

Because everyone collects it, and if you don't collect it, you feel like you're at a loss! Even if they can't spend enough money in their family for ten lifetimes, they still enjoy it.

Once they are caught, they clearly violate the law, but they think that they are wronged and that the official family is unfair. Why is everyone like this, the officials only arrest me, but not the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?"

After a pause, Jiang Chen slammed the wine glass on the table and said, "Master Pony, everyone, don't you think this phenomenon is terrifying? Hasn't the rebellion in Jiangnan not awakened you to the seriousness of the problem?"

"Hiss......"

The gazebo immediately remembered the sound of gasping cold air.

For the first time, the people who were drunk and dreamed of death and intrigued realized the deep crisis hidden under the false prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty.

"If this situation can't be cured in time, then why will my Great Song Dynasty be eternal? Where will it come from all generations?"

The crown prince Zhao Huan and the king of Yun, Zhao Kai, looked solemn at the same time, and stared at Jiang Chen tightly and said, "Senior brother, what you say is also my worry! I wonder if you have a way to save you?"

"Revive the Legalists! Abolish Confucianism!

Let the law no longer be a tool for officials to be corrupt and control the people, but the bottom line of being an official!

The Confucian theory of relying on benevolence, righteousness and morality to restrain hundreds of officials is nothing more than a shameless lie of the Confucian family sacrificing the fortunes of the country and the people in order to win over the wealthy family and shape the holy gate of the Confucian family!"

Jiang Chen replied with a solemn face.

"Revive Legalism and abolish Confucianism?"

Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai frowned deeply: "Everyone in the world is out of Confucianism, how easy is it to abolish Confucianism? Even if it is a military general, it is impossible

Will you say yes?"

"Yes! Otherwise, Dongying wouldn't have been killed with a river of blood because of the transformation!"

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly.

secretly said in his heart: Looking at the reaction of the prince and King Yun, it is obvious that he can't do that thing to destroy Confucianism. Well, since the father and son of the old Zhao family can't count on it, then it's better to wait for me to do it myself!

Thinking like this, Jiang Chen looked at Cao Sheng and turned back to the topic and said, "Master Horse, with the wealth accumulated by your Cao family, you can't spend it in ten lifetimes, although you have lost your military power, you can still enjoy wealth and nobility in Nanjing.

But those husbands who have lost their wives and parents who have lost their daughters will never be able to find their relatives again. Have you ever thought about this?

You have come to hate me, and to whom do they hate me? Could it be that the lower officials are still wrong to eliminate evil for the sake of the country and the people?"

"I...... I didn't say you did it wrong!

But my Cao family did not participate in the rebellion, but just greedy for some money and ended up like this, how can you make me willing?".

Cao Sheng was said by Jiang Chen's hostility disappeared for the most part, and he picked up the wine glass and wanted to drink, but he remembered that Jiang Chen poured it, and put it back on the stone table with a greasy heart.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen smiled and picked up the wine glass and sent it to his mouth and said, "Master Ma, now that the pacification of Jiangnan is imminent, and then the battle of Liao, instead of complaining here, why don't you rise up and reshape the glory of the ancestors of the Cao family and create another Guogong Mansion?"

"Restoring the glory of our ancestors?"

Cao Sheng's eyes lit up suddenly, but then he said in disappointment: "As a concubine of the dynasty, even if I am afraid, it is a rare opportunity! Don't you know the rules of the court?"

"Rules? Rules are meant to be broken!

Otherwise, why did Wang Wengong shout out "the ancestor is not enough to change the law" and the divine sect? Otherwise, why would the government abolish the policy of Confucian diplomacy?"

Jiang Chen chuckled and shook his head, full of temptation: "If Emperor Rongde doesn't object to stopping it, how about I guarantee that you go to Jiangnan with me to quell the chaos?"

"Is that true?"

Cao Sheng was so excited that he grabbed Jiang Chen's right hand holding the wine glass.

Seeing that Cao Sheng actually had the intention of resolving his grudge with Jiang Chen, Cai Yan couldn't help but say in a strange manner: "Jiang Chen, didn't you do something to frame him, right?

Otherwise, why are you the man, and the ghost is you?"

"If you want to frame it, I'll frame your dad first!"

Jiang Chen glared at Cai Ying.

"Uh, you'......"

Cai Yan and Cai Qian immediately became angry.

Zhao Huan, Zhao Kai, Zhao Fujin and others couldn't help but feel sorry for a while.

Jiang Chen ignored everyone's reactions, looked back at Cao Sheng, and said sincerely, "Everyone in the world knows that the official family married Senior Sister Rongde to Cao Sheng, Cao Xiangming, the most outstanding and excellent Cao Sheng of the Cao family.

In this prosperous era of the Great Song Dynasty and the sixteenth generation of Yanyun, if you abandon it because you are a concubine, how is it different from a tyrannical thing?"

"Not bad! What the junior brother said is very true! If Rongde does not object, this prince is willing to protect you together and help you rebuild the glory of Caomen!"

As the crown prince Zhao Huan spoke, he nodded very kindly to Jiang Chen.

In his opinion, this was completely Jiang Chen's overtures to him.
