Good morning Daming

Chapter 1017 Sweeping Nanjing Officialdom
King Jing was assassinated. Fortunately, Chang Wei Bo appeared in time, otherwise Nanjing would have faced the wrath of a father.

The five ministers gathered together to discuss the matter.

"Chief Wilbur must have received the news about this, otherwise he wouldn't have happened to show up."

"But we are to blame for this."

"We must catch the murderer before the capital's wrath falls."

"Minister of Justice, it's time for you to show your skills."

"My Ministry of Justice cannot handle this alone!"

"Where's the Ministry of War?"

“This matter…” Lin Zhian whispered, “Since Chang Wei Bo was able to get the news in advance, the murderer will probably not escape his eyes.”

Nima!

Aren't you just trying to pass the buck?
In the past, you, Lin Zhian, served Chang Wei Bo like a lackey, but how come you have learned to pass on the blame today?!

Several ministers looked at each other and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Zhang Quan sneered, "Minister Lin, do you want Chang Wei Bo to take charge of this matter?"

"That's right." Lin Zhian said calmly, "Can't you see it? King Jing has been in the palace of the capital and has no enemies outside. What's the point of assassinating him?"

"Implicate Long Wilbur and the New Deal!"

We are all old foxes and can see through the intentions of the person behind the scenes at a glance.

"Chang Wei Bo is the cousin and teacher of King Jing. Although he may seem calm at the moment, I bet he is furious inside. Can our methods be more powerful than Chang Wei Bo's?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Lin Zhian said, "In that case, why not obey Chang Wei Bo's orders."

Damn it!

It took a lot of twists and turns to flatter someone before it was finally delivered.

"high!"

"Excellent!"

"Seconded!"

Lin Zhian then spoke on behalf of everyone, "All six departments in Nanjing will obey the orders of Chief Wei Bo."

This side, the lower one goes, the smoother it becomes.

Wang Yan was terrified at the moment and was cursing the mastermind behind the scenes. Seeing this, he couldn't help but sneer, "Does it mean that I have to trouble Chief Wilbur for everything?"

This guy is indeed "straightforward", but with such an offensive personality, how did he get to a high position in the palace back then... Jiang Qingzhi was very curious.

Jiang Qingzhi was quite satisfied with the attitude of the five ministers. "The Ministry of Justice will investigate."

"Yes."

"The Ministry of Rites...get information from the scholars."

The Minister of Rites was taken down by Jiang Qingzhi, and Lin Zhian represented, "Yes."

"Everyone else, take action. Department of Military Affairs!"

"It's the order of Lord Chang Wei." At this moment, Lin Zhian was like a general of Chiang's faction, and his attitude was extremely respectful.

"Keep an eye on the guard posts in Nanjing. If there is any unusual movement, report it immediately." Jiang Qingzhi said coldly, "I want to see how brave those people are. It would be best if there was a rebellion and let those new soldiers under my command see blood!"

The Huben Zuowei lost a lot of people in the Northern Expedition, so after returning to the capital, they carefully selected new recruits from all over the place, but the new recruits still had to go through fighting before they could mature.

That means seeing blood and going through battles.

Lin Zian's eyes narrowed, and then he said excitedly: "I am willing to be the vanguard."

"We are not talking about you, Minister Lin." Wang Yan seemed to have something in common with Xu Wei, that is, they both had a sharp tongue. "Look down, yes, look at your big belly. The vanguard general went into battle with a big belly..."

Wang Yan cupped his hands and said, "We get up at the sound of cock-crow every day. If there is any problem, Long Wilbur can just tell us. We can kill the enemy anyway."

There is one hidden meaning in these people's statements: When we learned that King Jing had been assassinated, we were panicked and wanted to chop the person behind him with a knife.

Jiang Qingzhi knew that these people hoped that he could convey these gestures to the Taoist Master.

"I will report this to His Majesty as soon as I get back!"

Everyone felt relieved. After exchanging glances, Lin Zhian once again became the representative, "I wonder how the uncle knew that the assassin was going to attack His Royal Highness King Jing?"

If that person knew about it, this case would not be difficult to solve.

Jiang Qingzhi took a puff of herbal medicine cigarette and asked, "Do you think it's the Jinyiwei or the Dongchang?"

Lin Zhian was surprised, "Not them?"

Jiang Qingzhi shook his head.

Soon, many more soldiers appeared in Nanjing City, and the experts from the Ministry of Justice blocked the assassination scene and frantically searched for clues.

The five ministers of state issued a joint order, offering a generous reward for anyone who finds out the truth. Anyone who tries to cheat or cheat will be severely punished without mercy, regardless of their reputation!
Jiang Qingzhi and King Jing returned to their base. Chen Zheng was walking around in the yard. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw them coming back. "I was extremely anxious when I learned about the assassination. Those idiots... ah!"

Chen Zheng was an experienced man, and in just a short while he figured out the general identity of the person behind the scenes.

"This is not a bad thing," said Jiang Qingzhi.

Chen Zheng smiled bitterly, "Chang Wei Bo has been looking for a reason to take action, and those idiots took the initiative to come to the door... Damn it!"

Who said no?
King Jing said: "Now I know what it means to be insane."

After experiencing the change of life and death, the prince's eyes became somewhat unfamiliar to Chen Zheng.

Cruel and gloomy.

Obviously completely outraged.

Chen Zheng sighed. Just before that, someone asked to see him. It was a famous scholar in Nanjing who had some friendship with him in the past. Chen Zheng had no excuse. He knew the man's purpose. It was nothing more than hearing about this matter and wanted to test his mouth.

After the assassination failed, those people panicked!

A group of people panicked!
Jiang Qingzhi went to the backyard.

A woman is waiting.

Hua Yan was talking to the girl. When she saw Jiang Qingzhi coming back, she said indignantly, "Master, those madams in Qinhuai River are really abominable..."

Jiang Qingzhi waved his hand, "Are you Shang Yu?"

The woman looked up, awe written all over her haggard face. "Yes."

Just earlier, someone threw a note into the garrison. Menzi took it and gave it to the accompanying civil servant. After reading it, he found that someone was planning to assassinate King Jing today.

Jiang Qingzhi heard the news halfway and immediately went to chase King Jing, thus avoiding a tragedy.

"Tell me!" Jiang Qingzhi said gently, "By the way, have you eaten?"

Shang Yu nodded and shook her head. Jiang Qingzhi smiled and said, "The emperor doesn't lack hungry soldiers. Come on, give her something to eat, something soft."

"Thank you, my Lord." Shang Yu did not expect that this powerful official would be so gentle. She looked at Jiang Qingzhi and said absentmindedly, "It really looks like..."

"Like what?" Hua Yan asked.

Shang Yu shook her head, "My eyes are blurry." She thought of the day when she was sold and her brother chased her for a long way. Even after a long time, she still seemed to hear her brother's heart-wrenching cries in the carriage.

At that moment, she burst into tears.

My younger brother was seven years old that year and was as fair-skinned as her.

Jiang Qingzhi is known as Jade Young Master. When Shang Yu first saw him, she couldn't help but think of his younger brother.

Shang Yu collected his thoughts and said, "I am a prostitute in Qinhuai River. Most of the customers who come here are businessmen."

The prostitutes in Qinhuai River are also picky about their clients. Low-class prostitutes must be rich, mid-level ones are picky about their clients, and top-class ones rarely show up.

Shang Yu is a low-class prostitute.

After the group of famous prostitutes went south, Shang Yu suddenly found that his customers had been upgraded from businessmen to nobles.

"...At noon, the two of them were drunk and talking outside the cabin. I overheard some of them. They said that today was a good opportunity. King Jing followed Jiang Qingzhi out and asked those people to take action. Kill whoever they wanted..."

"Can you read?" Jiang Qingzhi took the note handed over by Sun Chonglou. Although his handwriting was a little poor, in this era with low literacy rate, he could be considered half a scholar.

"There was a scholar who stayed with me for half a year. I learned a lot from him."

"What about the scholars?" Hua Yan asked.

"gone."

"Didn't redeem you?" Hua Yan was stunned.

This silly woman!

Jiang Qingzhi was a little worried that if Sun Chonglou married Hua Yan, something would happen to the family composed of two fools.

Shang Yu shook his head and said calmly: "I raised him for half a year."

"Ungrateful!" Hua Yan was furious, "If I see this man, I will definitely kill him!"

Shang Yu smiled and said, "Without him, I wouldn't be able to read."

"Then you are still grateful to him?" Hua Yan couldn't believe it.

"Why should I hate?" Shang Yu smiled as usual, as if she were a pool of stagnant water, or as if she had seen through the world of mortals. "It's over, let's move on."

Jiang Qingzhi asked: "Do you know the origins of those two people?"

"One is surnamed Ma, the other surnamed Chen. They were drunk, and one of them said that at the poetry gathering in the south of the city yesterday, Brother Chen shocked everyone with his poem "Pozhenzi"..."

Jiang Qingzhi didn't turn around and waved.

"Uncle!"

Sun Bu Tong appeared quietly behind him.

"There was a poetry gathering in the south of the city yesterday. There was a man named Chen who composed a poem about breaking the formation."

"Yes."

The kitchen sent over a bowl of stewed pancakes, which were made with semi-fermented dough and were just the right softness and hardness.

It seemed that Shang Yu was really hungry, and he still felt a little unsatisfied after eating.

Just as the night was getting darker, Sun Bu Tong and others came back with a middle-aged scholar.

"My Lord, this is the man." Sun Bu Tong pointed at the scholar and said, "When we went there, he was still drinking."

The middle-aged scholar sobered up halfway through the drink and was surprised to see Shang Yu. "It's you?"

Jiang Qingzhi asked: "Who was the mastermind behind the assassination of King Jing?"

The middle-aged scholar laughed, "Jiang Qingzhi? If you have the guts, just kill me and see if I will say a word!"

Jiang Qingzhi smiled and waved his hand, "Don't make it bloody."

"Yes!"

Sun Bu Tong dragged the middle-aged scholar out, and soon dragged him back. At this moment, the middle-aged scholar looked like a dead dog. When he saw Jiang Qingzhi, he said, "It's Huang Bin, it's Huang Bin!"

Jiang Qingzhi smiled and said, "I was just about to set out to sweep the coast, and I was in need of a sacrifice. It seems that this trip will be smooth sailing."

King Jing was assassinated, and the five ministers were on standby in the garrison hall.

A very strong man walked in. It was Sun Chonglou.

"The murderer has been found. He is Huang Bin, a famous scholar in Nanjing."

"It's actually him?"

“Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts!”

"What do you want, Long Wilbur?"

Sun Chonglou frowned, thinking that these people were shouting like the vegetable market where Yang Zhaodi was. "Young Master said that tonight, we must make a deep impression on those people in Nanjing."

Jiang Qingzhi is now on the Qinhuai River.

It was late at night, but the Qinhuai River was bustling with activity.

"That's the pleasure boat where I am." Shang Yu pointed to a medium-sized pleasure boat docked in the corner, which looked quite old.

"What are your plans next?" Jiang Qingzhi asked with a smile.

The night breeze blew over the Qinhuai River, bringing with it the smell of cosmetics, wine and meat, as well as waves of wild laughter from men and women.

"I want to go home." Shang Yu lowered his head, "But with the madam, I..."

"It's not a big deal." Jiang Qingzhi said gently, "Have you thought about what to do next?"

"I..." Shang Yu's eyes were bright, and in the colorful lights of the Qinhuai River, they were full of longing, "I want to go home to see my parents, take care of them, and take care of my brother's children..."

"Have you ever thought about getting married?" Hua Yan couldn't help but ask.

"Get married?" Shang Yu smiled and shook her head. "Most of the wives of businessmen who married their elder brothers ended up with bad endings. Why bother? I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace."

Jiang Qingzhi said: "In that case, just go ahead. In addition, I will allow you to borrow my name. If you have any difficulties after returning home, you can use my name..."

Shang Yu looked up, with a look of surprise in his eyes. He squatted down and said sincerely, "Thank you, Uncle!"

Seeing her follow Sun Bu Tong onto the pleasure boat, Jiang Qingzhi turned around, his eyes turning cold. "Do it!"

A flare arrow was launched into the sky.

The sound of rapid footsteps came.

Thousands of soldiers rushed onto the dock in the cover of night.

Then, there was a cleansing...

Early summer of the 31st year of Jiajing.

Changwei Bo Jiang Qingzhi swept through the Nanjing officialdom. That night, he arrested more than 30 officials and more than 50 celebrities.

The whole Nanjing!

Shocking!
