Chapter 633 The Zhu Family Cannot Be Moved (Please Subscribe Monthly Pass)

Zhu family.

A quiet flower hall.

Zhu Yihao is already old, so he is not like Zhu Shuangming who likes to be gorgeous and noisy.

This small courtyard deep in the Zhu family's mansion is where Zhu Yihao studies and lives on weekdays.

At this time, Zhu Yihao had just sent away members of Shi, Wang, and Xie's family.

But I got the news that His Majesty has decreed that the boy surnamed Jiang was promoted to an official.

He couldn't help standing in front of the flower hall door, stunned.

"Tingli..."

"Your Majesty, after all, you still have to do something..."

Zhu Yihao stared blankly at the luxuriant flowers and plants in the front yard, and a servant was running through it with scissors, trimming the excess branches, vines, flowers and leaves.

The exotic flowers and plants in this garden are collected by members of the Zhu family from all over the world to honor him.

It can grow so prosperous and gratifying, and daily pruning is indispensable.

"Hehehe..."

Zhu Yihao suddenly let out a strange low laugh, but there was a bit of sadness on his old face.

"Your Majesty, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. If you have the heart, you only need a will, and the veteran is willing to kill you. He will die without complaint or regret..."

"It's just that you let that kid... that old minister have no choice but to use his crippled body to fight him..."

Zhu Yihao talked to himself intermittently, no one heard him, even if he heard him, he would be confused.

……

Su Jingsi.

"Master Jiang, I would like to offer you a toast, and congratulate Gao Sheng!"

Fang Qing raised his glass to congratulate.

Jiang Zhou raised his glass as well, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty Fang, you are welcome. Mr. Jiang is a junior, and he dare not toast as an adult. Mr. Jiang should do it first as a respect."

After all, drink it up.

Fang Qing didn't stop him, seeing him put down the empty cup, he smiled and said, "Master Jiang is too modest."

"Weak crown but occupying a high position in the fourth rank. Looking at our dynasty, there are only a handful of hands,"

"If you are as extraordinary as Mr. Jiang, you can be counted on your fingers."

Jiang Zhou smiled, drank two more glasses with Fang Qing, put down the glass directly, and said:
"Lord Fang, Mr. Jiang was born in the mountains, and he doesn't know etiquette. If he offends him, he will look to Haihan. If your lord has any advice, why don't you just speak up?"

"Hehe, Mr. Jiang is really quick to talk."

Fang Qing waved his hands, didn't care, thought it over before saying: "Master Jiang should also be able to guess that this old man is here, besides proclaiming the decree, he also wants to pass on a few words on Mr. Dongyang's behalf."

"Oh? Please speak."

Fang Qing glanced at Mei Qingchen who was accompanying him and said, "Actually, Master Mei should have told you this before."

"The war in the northern border is tight, and Mr. Dongyang will send troops to reinforce him soon, but there are too few people who can use it in the court,"

"Mr. Dongyang only has you as a disciple, Mr. Jiang, really don't think about leaving Jiangdu and going to Beijing to help Zukazai?"

Fang Qing said sternly: "The situation in Jiangdu is complicated, and the Zhu family is not so easy to deal with. Mr. Jiang might as well get out early. When he arrives in Yujing, with Mr. Jiang's ability, he will surely The future is even brighter, so why tie your hands here?"

"Yup!"

Mei Qingchen said happily: "Master Jiang, this is a good thing! I have persuaded you a long time ago. With your ability, there is really no need to stay in Jiangdu any longer."

Hearing the words, Jiang Zhou said with a smile: "Teacher governs the world, worries about the country and the people, and everything he does is a major issue that concerns the people of the world."

"Jiang deserves the name of a disciple, but he really doesn't have the ability to share the teacher's worries. Besides..."

He paused, looked at Fang Qing and said, "If I enter the capital at this time, wouldn't it be against the decree? Not only will I not be able to relieve the teacher's worries, I'm afraid it will hurt the teacher instead?"

"Hahaha!"

Fang Qing was not annoyed when he was flatly rejected, but laughed and said, "Master Jiang is worthy of being a hero in the world, and he really has a clear mind."

"It seems that you have made up your mind."

The two of them were dumbfounded, but Mei Qingchen was not confused. He probably figured out the twists and turns earlier than Jiang Zhou.

It's just that seeing Jiang Zhou refuse, I still feel a little regretful, but also relieved and happy, in short, my mood is quite complicated.

"Mr. Dongyang's meaning, the old man has already conveyed it, but since you have made up your mind, Mr. Jiang, the old man will not persuade you."

Fang Qing looked solemn and said: "Next, the old man will be bold and give advice to Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Zhou raised his hand and said, "Please advise, my lord."

Fang Qingsu said: "The position of Tingli is directly under the Tianguan Mansion. He is in charge of the punishment code, punishes all officials, and corrects all people. Do you know that the position is inferior and the weight is important?"

Jiang Zhou nodded and said, "I know a thing or two."

He is familiar with Su Jingsi's collection, and he still knows this basic thing, otherwise he would not be able to guess Di Mang's thoughts.

Fang Qing nodded: "Since this is the case, you should also know a thing or two about His Majesty's intentions."

He paused for a moment, looked squarely at Jiang Zhou and said, "It's just that there is one sentence, please keep Master Jiang in mind."

"You can investigate the Zhu family, try it, or sentence it, but..."

He shook his head slowly: "The Zhu family cannot be moved."

Jiang Zhou remained expressionless, and said noncommittally, "Is this what His Majesty meant?"

Fang Qing smiled slightly, raised his wine glass, took a sip, but said nothing.

Jiang Zhou understood what he meant and didn't ask any further questions. He changed the subject and said, "The Zhu family can't be moved, what about the other family?"

While sipping, Fang Qing seemed to casually say:
"Since His Majesty has entrusted Lord Jiang with a heavy responsibility, he must believe that Lord Jiang can report to the public to handle the case. I don't want to comment more on it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he put down the empty cup, cupped his hands and said, "Master Jiang, it's getting late, it's late to go back, I'm afraid the family will miss me, I should say goodbye."

Jiang Zhou was startled, then smiled and said, "Okay, Jiang will see you off."

"No, please stay."

Fang Qing waved his hand, then turned around and strode away.

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

"Since you are asked to interrogate Zhu's family, and you are not allowed to touch Zhu's family, it's not like taking off your pants and letting..."

Mei Qingchen watched Fang Qing leave, blurted out the words of complaint, Hao Xuan reacted and stopped the car, then swallowed in fear.

Then he said, "Isn't this embarrassing?"

"Not at all."

Jiang Zhou turned around and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is reducing the burden for us. We should be grateful."

If Mei Qingchen hadn't seen the mocking smile on his face, he might have believed it.

"Burden reduction?"

Jiang Zhou explained: "Isn't this the meaning that we should only punish the 'leader' and not harm the innocent?"

"Do you think it's easier to catch a few culprits, or deal with the entire Zhu family?"

"Sigh~"

Mei Qingchen took a breath: "So that's what it means, Your Majesty is wise!"

"Okay, Master Mei, stop pretending in front of me."

Jiang Zhou rolled his eyes, and asked in his embarrassing expression:

"Lord Mei, have the Zhu family done any great things in Jiangdu these years, or have they made any great contributions to His Majesty?"

Mei Qingchen was indeed stunned by his jumping thoughts at this time: "A big event? A great achievement?"

Although he didn't know what Jiang Zhou meant, he thought about it for a while and said, "I haven't heard of such a thing..."

"but……"

"But what?"

Mei Qingchen seemed to think of something, and said: "Our Sujing Division's sword prison can be repaired, but it has something to do with the Zhu family. Is this a big deal?"

"Knife Prison?"

This surprised Jiang Zhou a little.

He couldn't help saying: "If Jiang remembers correctly, when I first arrived in Jiangdu, Mr. Mei, you once told me that the sword prison at the bottom of Dongting Lake was repaired and strengthened by Zunsheng Temple. What does this have to do with the Zhu family?"

"You remember correctly."

Mei Qingchen said: "However, at that time, the official did not explain clearly to you. In fact, the situation at that time was much more serious than what you knew..."
