Chapter 442 Just Spoil Her
"Zhongshun, originally I didn't punish you too harshly out of consideration for my father's sake. But now it seems that my methods were too merciful." A fierce light flashed in Emperor Longxing's eyes.
However, how to fight Prince Zhongshun later can be planned, but first, this hurdle must be overcome. This old man is not easy to deal with.
"I am aware of what Lord Qian is talking about. That is why I summoned Marquis Jia Cong and Prince Yingchuan to the palace yesterday to be punished."
"However, I am not entirely clear on what you are saying about colluding with gambling houses and arresting civilians without authorization."
"Since you have made such a request, I will not sit idly by."
"Instruct the Censorate, the Supreme Court, and the Ministry of Justice to investigate this matter within three days. If it is truly as Qian Aiqing said, then both the Prince of Yingchuan and the Marquis of Guanjun should be severely punished."
Emperor Longxing simply adopted a procrastination tactic. As for how to investigate next, that was a matter outside the court.
Whether it's using unconventional tactics or something else, there's always a way to deal with it.
Although Qian Yan was somewhat dissatisfied, and he also understood that Emperor Longxing wanted to delay time, he had no evidence in his hands now, and Emperor Longxing was not making excuses and asked the Censorate to participate in the investigation, so he had no choice but to agree.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Qian Yan said, and then retreated back to his own group.
Originally, the founding lineage had planned to clash with the Third Prince's lineage today. Yesterday's events were known throughout the city, so they had naturally received the news long beforehand. However, as Qian Yan spoke, Wang Ziteng and the others sensed something was amiss, so they signaled to the others, and the founding lineage members fell silent.
…
"You buffalo, next time you see if Second Grandma will still worry about you!"
In Keqing's courtyard, Wang Xifeng felt that she was torn apart. She didn't know what this enemy was thinking . There were three of them fighting, but she was the one who was targeted the most.
It is indeed joyful and comfortable when being tormented by this enemy, but after it is over, all that is left is soreness all over the body.
"Keqing naturally wouldn't dare to stop the master from doing something. However, if the master does anything dangerous again in the future, you must inform Keqing in advance."
"No matter what I face, I am not afraid. The only thing I fear is not knowing what the situation is."
"Since Keqing has followed the master, she will follow him regardless of life or death."
Jia Cong kissed Keqing fiercely, "My dear Keqing, from now on, no matter what happens, I will not hide anything from you!"
"Hmph, just indulge this buffalo grass!" Wang Xifeng said with gritted teeth, "You are all good people, but I am the only one who is talkative and annoying!"
Holding Wang Xifeng's smooth body in his arms, Jia Cong said seriously, "Keqing, Xiao Feng'er, being able to have you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me. And don't worry, if I'm not sure, I won't do anything that will put myself in trouble. I already have you, and I'm no longer alone. I want to grow old with you, so how could I take risks so easily?"
"Besides, if I really have to take risks, it's only for you. It's not worth it for others."
"How could I not know Xiao Feng'er's worries? I only feel that Xiao Feng'er's heart is with me, so how could I be annoyed by her in the slightest?"
Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and leaned her pretty face against Jia Cong's chest. This enemy would say such seductive words.
In the evening, Xia Shouzhong arrived at the mansion.
After hearing what happened in the court, Jia Cong immediately thought of King Zhongshun and his son. This method was not clever, but it worked.
"Your Majesty has also sent someone to pass on a message to Prince Yingchuan."
"His Majesty has told you to handle this matter properly. If you leave any traces, then you will go to the Ministry of Justice's prison and plead guilty!"
"Please, Lord Steward, inform His Majesty that I will handle this matter properly and will not embarrass Your Majesty. Furthermore, the You family mother and daughter will all stay at the mansion for the next few days and will not come into contact with outsiders. I will also make some arrangements. However, the matter of the gambling house will need to be handled by the Prince of Yingchuan."
"That's exactly the point!" Xia Shouzhong said with a smile.
This matter is neither difficult nor easy. First of all, the relationship between the third prince and the gambling house must be made unconfirmed. This is not difficult. After all, all the people in the gambling house have been killed by Jia Cong. Those gamblers are not from the gambling house. It can only prove that Li Yu was indeed present at the time, but it cannot prove that Li Yu is connected with the gambling house.
Secondly, there are the two parties involved, the Yu sisters!
As long as they find an excuse to deny what happened at that time, naturally the fact that they exceeded their authority and arrested ordinary people without authorization cannot be confirmed.
As for why Jia Cong went to the gambling house to kill people, some gamblers in the gambling house did die, but because of Jia Cong's explanation, those who died were all people who deserved the punishment. With these charges, the actions of the Bingmasi were reasonable and legal, and no one could find out anything. At most, it was just a murder without conviction.
Could someone dig out Ma Hongyun and others and interrogate them?
As for Li Yu, Jia Cong was even less worried. Li Yu was not a fool. Even though he hated Jia Cong, he knew what was important and what was not. In fact, Li Yu was more anxious to resolve the matter than Jia Cong. Otherwise, his position as the prince would become precarious.
Besides, even if Li Yu couldn't do it, would Emperor Longxing really just sit there and watch? Perhaps Tu Huai had already led the Jinyiwei to clean up the whole thing.
After seeing off Xia Shouzhong, Jia Cong headed towards the You family courtyard. Naturally, this matter needed to be explained to the You sisters in advance, otherwise, when the Ministry of Justice or the Dali Temple really came to inquire, who knew what would go wrong?
" Master is here?"
Seeing that Jia Cong had really arrived, You Sanjie happily came forward, took the initiative to help Jia Cong take off his robe and brought him tea.
Seeing her youngest sister being so attentive to Jia Cong, Youshi's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood something! Her third sister had always been wild and had always been fond of chivalrous men. It would be strange if she didn't feel anything when such a hero saved the beauty.
However, Youshi was happy to see this happen.
Given her master's temperament, it wasn't a bad thing for her younger sister to enter the mansion. Furthermore, she had always had a lingering concern: although she was favored by her master, she was old and withered, and her body was broken. If her younger sister also followed Jia Cong, she would feel more at ease enjoying this favor.
After they sat down, Jia Cong played with Youshi's delicate hands, and then said to You Erjie and You Sanjie, "I came here to tell you something."
"I'm afraid someone will come to inquire about what happened in the gambling house in the next two days. No matter who asks, just say that you have been staying at the mansion for the past two days and have no idea about the gambling house, and no one has taken you away."
Yu's expression tightened, "Master, is this matter a bit of a hindrance?"
