Chapter 247: Suggestions
"The tiger talisman, the gold medal bestowed by the emperor, and the imperial edict!"
"These things represent the emperor's determination to eliminate Long Fengyang!" Jiang Chengfeng laughed sinisterly, "Lord Tang can mobilize troops, and Lord Ye has evidence of Long Fengyang's crimes. As long as Lord Ye reports it, Lord Tang can arrest Long Fengyang! If Long Fengyang dares to resist, he will be charged with treason, and we will find an excuse to kill him!"
"What if Long Fengyang doesn't resist?"
"Master Ye, you still don't understand what I mean!" Jiang Chengfeng patted Ye Duo on the shoulder and said, "Can't you force Long Fengyang to resist? What is the most serious crime under the Northern Tang law?"
"Of course it's treason!" Ye Duo replied immediately.
"Long Fengyang is the commander-in-chief of Jianghuai, so his mansion must be quite large! Moreover, it is said that this guy likes to collect all kinds of antiques. If Lord Ye searches carefully, he might be able to find a dragon robe or something in his mansion! Long Fengyang has his own army and has been entrenched in the big fat piece of meat of Jianghuai for many years. Some people have been jealous of him! If Lord Ye wants to arrest him, will he fight to the death?"
The corners of Ye Duo's mouth twitched violently. This Mr. Jiang was really insidious! It would be a pity if he didn't become an official!
"In fact, Long Fengyang only has a few thousand soldiers under his command, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. I am afraid that it will not be convincing to put a hat of treason on him!" Ye Duo sighed and said: "Besides, if we really kill him, how can we explain it to the ministers in the court?"
After hearing what Ye Duo said, Jiang Chengfeng knew that the old fox Ye was still a little too soft-hearted !
"Master Ye, do you need to explain to those ministers? I think Master Tang didn't tell you directly. In fact, he has another sentence that he hasn't said yet!"
Ye Duo looked at Jiang Chengfeng in confusion.
"I guess Lord Tang only needs a dead person, not a living one!" Jiang Chengfeng noticed that Ye Duo's expression was not right, and smiled, waved his hand and said: "Lord Ye, this is just my guess, don't take it to heart!"
Ye Duo also laughed and nodded, "If I really go and kill Long Fengyang, how should I explain this to the court?"
"Dead man, no evidence!" Jiang Chengfeng explained: "If he is dead, who will investigate whether he is plotting treason? Besides, you found a lot of physical evidence in his house, which is the evidence of his treason!"
"Master Jiang, if that's the case, then it's easy! It's not hard to kill Long Fengyang, but the hard part is how to deal with the man behind him!"
Jiang Chengfeng suddenly looked serious and asked, "Master Ye, how does the emperor treat you?"
Ye Duo was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to remember something. His face turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "I know what to do!"
Unable to bear seeing Ye Duo so flustered, Jiang Chengfeng patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Lord Ye, in fact, things may not be as bad as you think! You have evidence of Long Fengyang's crime. Even if you kill him on the spot, the court will not kill you. At most, you will be dismissed from your official position! However, if you really do this, the happiest people will not be the people of Jianghuai Province, but the emperor! However, due to the pressure of public opinion, the emperor may put you aside for a few years, but in a few years you will surely rise to prominence and be granted a title of nobility and prime minister!"
Ye Duo bowed again to express his gratitude to Jiang Chengfeng.
Seeing Ye Duo's sincere salute, Jiang Chengfeng felt guilty. In fact, he tried so hard to persuade Ye Duo to kill Long Fengyang, largely out of selfishness.
After finishing the business, Jiang Chengfeng remembered that Ye Lingshuang was ill, and asked Ye Duo if he knew about it. Ye Duo was surprised and asked the reason.
Jiang Chengfeng told Ye Duo what he didn't know, and Ye Duo sighed, lamenting that he hadn't taken good care of his daughter. But now he had more important things to do, and as a father, he couldn't go home to visit his daughter, so he had to ask Jiang Chengfeng to take care of her.
Walking out of the wooden house, Jiang Chengfeng saw Bai Biao practicing swordsmanship in an open space. Bai Biao's swordsmanship was so powerful that every time he slashed, it seemed as if he could split Mount Huashan. He was truly extraordinary and heroic.
Jiang Chengfeng walked up with a smile and shouted, "Brother Bai, where has Brother Bai Feng been these days?"
Bai Biao put away his sword and said with a smile: "This morning, he followed Lord Tang to Huazhou to mobilize troops!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh. It's not easy for this old man Tang! He just found his old lover, and the lovers finally got married, but before he had time to make love with his wife a few times, he had to run around because of this kind of thing.
After going down the mountain, he went straight to Ye Mansion. At this time, it was already dark. After Jiang Chengfeng got off his horse, he was just about to enter the gate of Ye Mansion when he suddenly thought of Cai Daguoxue. He didn't know if the old woman was here.
He just turned around and saw a sedan chair coming slowly and stopping in front of the gate of Ye Mansion. Two maids following the sedan chair supported Madam Ye from the left and right.
Jiang Chengfeng had left a deep impression on Old Madam Ye when he presented birthday gifts. Therefore, when she saw Jiang Chengfeng standing in front of the mansion gate, Old Madam Ye immediately smiled and greeted him, saying, "Young Master Jiang is here! Why don't you come in and have a seat?"
Jiang Chengfeng hurried forward and bowed, "Jiang Dazhu greets Old Madam Ye!"
Madam Ye held Jiang Chengfeng's hand affectionately, as if she were treating her own grandson, and smiled and said, "How are you, little brother Jiang?"
"Everything tastes delicious, and I feel healthy! All thanks to the old lady!"
Madam Ye smiled heartily and said, "Young Master Jiang is so sweet and talented! If a girl from some family is betrothed to you, it would be a blessing!"
"I am just an ordinary servant of the Shen family. I am not an official and I don't have any money. Which girl would like me?"
Madam Ye waved her hand and said, "Since ancient times, heroes have always been judged by their origins. Brother Jiang, don't underestimate yourself! The ancestor of our Ye family was a blacksmith! Later, he was favored by Emperor Taizu and became a soldier under him. He gradually made military achievements and was finally granted a title of nobility! Brother Jiang, you are still young and have plenty of time to work hard. Maybe in the future, our Ye family will have to look up to you!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Madam!" Jiang Chengfeng bowed with a smile, but he was very surprised in his heart. No wonder when he first met Madam Ye, he always felt that the old lady had an elegant and noble temperament. It turned out that her ancestor was a general who was granted a title of nobility. She was indeed a descendant of a famous family.
His eyes swept across the incense burners held by the maids beside Old Madam Ye , and Jiang Chengfeng asked, "By the way! Where did the old lady go?"
