Chapter 97: Too timely, prepare to go to the south of the Yangtze River!
Japanese pirates?
Why does this word sound so familiar?
After hearing Yu Qingbei's words, Jiang Chen was slightly stunned.
But then the emperor spoke.
"Didn't I give you the task of investigating the Censorate and the Ministry of Personnel?"
"It just so happens that this matter is also within the responsibilities of the Jinyiwei, so I want you to replace me."
"Go south to the Yangtze River and get rid of these parasites in our Xia country!"
After saying these words, the emperor's already pale face became even paler.
He started coughing violently, and Su Dingxia hurriedly walked up to him and handed him a cup of hot tea.
But at this moment Jiang Chen was ecstatic!
I was just worrying about the branch of Lao Ba's secret restaurant and the southern base of Jinyiwei.
This is when I suddenly encountered this incident.
It’s time to fall asleep and here comes the pillow!
Restraining his inner ecstasy, Jiang Chen calmly prostrated himself on the ground.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will never let you down!"
"good!"
"Jiang Chen listens to the seal!"
After drinking the hot tea, the emperor's complexion improved a little. Seeing that Jiang Chen agreed, he immediately issued an order.
"I appoint you as the Inspector of Jiangnan!"
"I will follow Prince Huai'an to Jiangnan today to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"I obey your order."
Jiang Chen quickly lowered his head to the ground and accepted the order.
"Okay, let's all go down ."
"Jiang Chen, please stay. I have something else I want to ask you."
"yes."
Su Dingxia and Yu Qingbei on the side bowed and retreated.
The emperor and Jiang Chen were the only ones left in the huge imperial study.
Looking at Jiang Chen kneeling in front of him, the emperor sat up straight.
An invisible majesty instantly gathered on him.
Although he was a foolish and incompetent emperor, he was the supreme ruler.
With every move of his hands and feet, the imperial pressure was still enough to shock Jiang Chen's heart.
"Jiang Chen, do you know why I sent you to Jiangnan?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know."
Good man, you dog emperor.
You talk as if you have someone else to use!
Although he complained about the emperor's words in his heart, Jiang Chen still replied in a puzzled manner.
"Because you are the regent's man!"
The emperor's weak voice echoed in the imperial study, and could not be dissipated for a long time.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately knelt on the ground trembling.
He said this with his whole body trembling.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please understand clearly!"
"I am loyal to you. If it weren't for your support, Your Majesty, I would probably still be washing clothes."
Looking at Jiang Chen's trembling figure, the emperor smiled slightly.
"Get up, I know you are forced into this."
"I also believe in your loyalty, otherwise I would not have sent you to Jiangnan."
As he spoke, the emperor threw a piece of silk book in front of Jiang Chen.
"I sent you to Jiangnan this time because I received news that there are followers of the Regent among those officials."
"Besides you, there is no one else around me who can gain the trust of the Regent."
"So, if we want to find out who the regent is, we have no choice but to send you."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen curled his lips helplessly.
It seems that my acting skills are worthy of an Oscar.
However, the power of this dog emperor is really scary.
"I understand. I will definitely complete the task that Your Majesty has assigned to me."
Jiang Chen continued to pretend to be panicked and knelt on the ground.
"The silk book in your hand allows you to mobilize any army of a thousand men."
"It can be regarded as a force that you can mobilize when you go to Jiangnan this time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Okay, let's go down!"
The emperor raised his hand weakly and waved.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen picked up the silk book, bent over and slowly retreated.
After leaving the imperial study, Jiang Chen slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He bowed to Su Dingxia and Yu Qingbei who were guarding the door.
"You two, I will leave first."
"Master Jiang, wait a minute."
Seeing Jiang Chen about to leave, Yu Qingbei stopped him.
"What do you want, young prince?"
Jiang Chen turned around in confusion and looked at the young prince.
"I hope Lord Jiang will go back and make good preparations. After all, you and I will be leaving tomorrow."
As he spoke, Yu Qingbei calmly stuffed a small, thick stack of banknotes into Jiang Chen's hands.
Feeling the thickness of the stack of banknotes in his hand, Jiang Chen smiled knowingly.
"Don't worry, little prince."
After saying goodbye to Yu Qingbei, Jiang Chen whistled while holding the banknotes in his arms.
He skipped back to his own courtyard.
But before he reached the gate of the courtyard, a figure walked out.
The person who came was the Iron Shirt leader Jiang Haiping!
"Master Jiang, the prince wants to see you."
Oh my god, is this regent so well-informed?!
Jiang Chen was secretly shocked for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.
If the regent doesn't even have this kind of means, how can he seize the throne?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen bowed to Jiang Haiping.
"Then I'll trouble you, General Jiang."
Seeing that Jiang Chen did not refuse, Jiang Haiping took Jiang Chen out of the palace.
He got on the carriage and headed to the Regent's Palace.
"My Lord, the people have arrived."
"Well, go down."
After listening to the servant's words, the Regent slowly raised his head.
Looking at Jiang Haiping and Jiang Chen who walked in, he said with a smile.
"Come on, sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Chen and Jiang Haiping bowed to the prince and sat down.
After the two of them sat down, the prince picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
"Jiang Chen, I heard that the emperor ordered you to deal with the Jiangnan matter?"
"My Lord, yes."
Hearing the regent's words, Jiang Chen replied calmly.
"Since the emperor has entrusted this matter to you, then do it well."
"Don't let me and the emperor down, got it?"
"I understand. I will not let you down, Your Majesty."
As he spoke, Jiang Chen slowly bowed to the Regent.
"Hahaha, good, in this case, I will be relieved."
After coming out of the Regent's Palace, Jiang Chen had another stack of banknotes in his arms.
This was given to him by the Regent in the name of renewing the room in Lao Ba's secret restaurant for another year.
As for the real purpose of this money, perhaps only Jiang Chen himself knows.
Jiang Chen rushed to the restaurant again and ordered people to find Li Jiadong and Gan Laosan.
As for Zhang Fei, this guy happened to be drinking in the restaurant.
"Sir, what's the matter that has called us here?"
Gan Lao San looked at Jiang Chen and asked in confusion.
Jiang Chen looked at the three of them and spoke slowly.
"I'm going to Jiangnan tomorrow."
"What, my Lord?!"
"Why do you suddenly want to go to Jiangnan?"
Hearing this, Li Jiadong stood there in a daze.
Jiang Chen is about to go to Jiangnan after just arranging the matters in Jiangnan.
Gan Laosan and Zhang Fei also looked at Jiang Chen with confusion.
"The emperor has ordered me to go to Jiangnan to handle some matters."
