It was night, Jiang Bo was lying on the bed, tossing and turning.
It had been many years since he had been so worried.
After his parents died, there was only one thing left in his life, and that was fighting.
When the long knife pierced the enemy's belly, he didn't even blink, so why was he so hesitant?
He turned around and looked out the window at the bright moon like a hook, and a clear light fell in front of the window.
Inexplicably, he remembered the girl that night, walking towards him under the moonlight, and said to him: "Prince Jiang, what a coincidence..."
Mrs. Zhong said: "It's really not easy for Yao Yao in our family. She is alone at a young age. The palace is a devil's cave that eats people without blinking an eye. There is also an uncle who wants to kill her all the time."
Jiang Bo put his arms under his head, feeling suddenly confused.
He suddenly couldn't tell what was good and what was evil, what was appropriate and what was inappropriate.
He once thought that plotting, killing people and stealing goods were evil, and that it was only right to be loyal to the emperor and to eat the emperor's salary.
But, is this really the case?
He just felt that his heart was in a mess, and he kept cutting and sorting it out.
On the other hand, Su Jingwen, who was in the penthouse next door, was so drunk that he slept soundly. The sound of snoring came from the next door, which became more and more disturbing.
After almost staying up all night, Jiang Bo was still in a state of dissociation when he went to court on the second day.
Sure enough, Zhong Ming brought up the matter of the female ghost again.
This female ghost has been scaring Zhong Yingying all day long without telling her, and it has also caused Mr. Ma to make trouble at home every day. Zhong Ming is naturally more anxious than anyone else.
He chased and asked Jiang Bo: "Your Majesty, after so many days, is there still no clue at all?"
He asked, but Jiang Bo didn't answer.
Zhong Ming shouted twice: "Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty..."
"Huh?" Jiang Bo finally came to his senses.
Zhong Ming was a little angry. After all, he was also a prime minister, and no one had ever treated him with such an attitude.
This Jiangbo is too arrogant.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked patiently: "I am asking, the matter of the female ghost in the palace has been going on for so long, and the prince still has no clue at all?"
Jiang Bo felt suffocated, but was speechless for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I am asking you something." Zhong Ming repeated it again.
After so many days with no results, and encountering Jiang Bo's indifferent attitude, Zhong Ming was already a bit aggressive at this moment.
"No...no clues."
When he answered this sentence, Jiang Bo himself was shocked.
He... lied?
A true man stands between heaven and earth, he should nourish his majestic spirit and do things upright and aboveboard...
This has always been his principle of doing things.
But when he was forced into a dilemma, he subconsciously chose to lie?
While he was still in shock, he saw Zhong Ming flicking his sleeves and saying angrily: "Oh, everyone says that King Wu'an has unparalleled martial arts skills, but he can't even find out the reason for such a trivial matter. It seems,
That’s all.”
Zhong Ming's words were sarcastic and sarcastic. Jiang Bo felt guilty and could not say a word to refute.
He just said: "Master Zhong is right."
Zhong Ming:……
He only felt a fist hitting the cotton, and when he was about to say something else, he saw Jiang Bo turning his head to face Shen Muchi who was sitting on the dragon throne.
"I know that I am not capable enough to take on this important task, so I will resign to your Majesty as the commander of the imperial army today. Please ask your Majesty to hire someone who is capable."
When Zhong Ming heard this, he became anxious.
He just wanted to speak to stimulate him, but he didn't want to make him actually resign.
Who doesn't know that Jiang Bo is the only civil and military man in the entire dynasty who can fight? Where can he find someone to investigate this matter now that he has resigned?
Besides, looking for someone again will have to be delayed until the Year of the Monkey, right?
Zhong Ming was so anxious that he jumped up and said hurriedly: "You... you just resign as you say? Is it that you can be the commander of the Forbidden Army if you want to be, or if you don't want to be?
You...you have neglected your duties and are trying to evade responsibility now that you can't solve it. It's a bad idea for you."
Jiang Bo: "Master Zhong is right."
"Your Majesty, I have neglected my duty. I know that I am guilty. Please punish me severely."
He actually admitted his guilt.
Zhong Ming: "Such a serious crime cannot be taken lightly."
Jiang Bo: "I was cut into pieces by a thousand cuts, my skin was peeled off and my muscles were cramped. I dare not complain at all."
Zhong Ming:……
He was convinced, he was really convinced.
He is the head of the civil service, and he is good at talking. He can fight with hundreds of officials with his mouth, but today, he was really defeated in front of Jiang Bo.
There was nothing he could do against this stupid big guy.
Originally, I wanted to force him to do something, but this time I decided to stand up for myself.
He said he wanted to beat or punish Jiang Bo, but he knew in his heart how could Shen Muchi really punish him?
To put it bluntly, Jiang Bo is the heart of the royal family and the anchor of the entire Southern Ming Dynasty. If Jiang Bo is to be skinned and cramped, let alone Shen Muchi, not even the civil and military officials are willing, nor are the people of the world.
But he had said the words himself, and now he was forced into an awkward position, unable to go up or down.
Fortunately, it was Shen Muchi who came out to smooth things over.
"Zhong Aiqing is serious. The matter of ghosts and gods is illusory and elusive. How can it be found out in just a few days?
I know you are impatient, but you must give Jiang Aiqing time."
Since Shen Muchi said so, Zhong Ming naturally followed the pole.
"Yes, Your Majesty is right, but I am not thinking carefully."
After Shen Muchi said this, he went to comfort Jiang Bo: "Jiang Aiqing, please be free. I don't mean to blame you, let alone punish you.
You will still be the commander of the Forbidden Army, and I believe in you that as long as you are given enough time, you will be able to get the truth out of the matter."
Shen Mu and Chi said one thing to the east and the other to the west, even though they were in the middle of it, they were extremely happy in their hearts.
Relying on his power in the court, Zhong Ming often made things difficult for him. However, he was sharp-tongued and had a large group of literati under his command. He had no way to deal with him.
Although he is the emperor, he is often led by Zhong Ming.
It's rare to see Zhong Ming deflated for a while today. This Jiang Bo is a good fighter and has a good way of irritating people.
Zhen Zhen'er is a wonderful person.
Shen Muchi was happy, but when Zhong Ming went to court, his lungs were filled with anger.
"We can't find out, even this big shit can't be found out."
In the study, Zhong Ming became very angry with several of his subordinates.
This is the first time since he took the position of chief minister that he has suffered such a big loss. In addition, if the female ghost issue is not resolved, Ma will not be able to calm down. How can he not get angry in a hurry?
Just when he was desperate, someone gave him an idea.
"Sir, since Jiang Bo is unreliable, we might as well investigate it ourselves." The person who spoke was one of Zhong Ming's subordinates.
Zhong Ming turned to look at him: "Check on your own? What can you find out on your own that Jiang Bo couldn't find out?"
"Xiaoguan has a nephew who works in the imperial city. He is Jiang Bo's subordinate. You can ask him to ask questions. Maybe he can get some clues.
Anyway, there is no other way at the moment, treat a dead horse like a living horse, give it a try, maybe you can find a breakthrough?"
