The old emperor knew that the person who emptied the treasury of gold and silver was Jing Yan, and when he learned of Jing Yan's identity, he immediately placed all the blame on Qin Jiyan.
"Since you suspected Jing Yan, why didn't you take action earlier and arrest him for questioning? Or just kill him?"
"You detained Jing Yan at six doors for nearly a month, but you didn't find anything unusual about him? What on earth were you doing for more than a month? Jing Yan did so many things right under your nose,
You actually don’t know anything?”
"Tell me, what's the use of me raising people like you?"
"Prince Zhaoren's descendant is right under my nose, and he is still the Tanhualang appointed by me. If this matter is to be spread, how can I lose face?"
"Ji Yan, Ji Yan, you have really disappointed Grandpa Huang. You are so sloppy and not straightforward at all. How can you deserve to be the crown prince?"
"Since you suspected Jing Yan, why did you surround him without killing him? Why did you let him go? Leave him a way to live. Do you know who he is? He is a descendant of Prince Zhaoren. He is ambitious and wants to usurp the throne. In this way
You actually said to spare his life, what on earth did you think?"
"After arranging so many people, I also gave you a special order to mobilize troops, and you actually let him run away. You really... really let me down."
The old emperor ignored Qin Jiyan and cursed him, as if all his faults were Qin Jiyan's fault. As for the fact that his confidant eunuch falsely passed on the imperial edict?
The old emperor never mentioned it, and Qin Jiyan didn't say even a word. After the old emperor finished cursing, Qin Jiyan opened his mouth to defend himself: "Grandpa Huang, I didn't know that Jing Yan had a problem before. I didn't tell Jing Yan either.
I am detained at the Six Doors, and I am using Jing Yan to assist the Six Doors in handling the case."
"Jing Yan is the man appointed by you, Grandpa Huang, to be a prostitute. He is extremely talented. Lord Feng has repeatedly praised him for being smart and capable. I don't have the energy to take care of the affairs of the Six Sects. Seeing that he is really capable, I want to promote him to take charge of the Six Sects.
Door, I transferred people to six doors, I am transferring them, not detaining them."
Qin Jiyan didn't give the old emperor any face at all, and even dragged Lord Feng into it.
It's not that Qin Jiyan is so petty, it's that the Feng family clearly knew Jing Yan's identity, and not only did they not remind him, but they also helped conceal it. Although it can't be called hateful, it is really irritating.
"You, you, you..." Seeing Qin Jiyan pushing back the oversight, the old emperor's face turned ugly.
When Jing Yan was appointed as the courtier, the government affairs of Da Qin were still in the hands of the old emperor, and the old emperor could not escape his involvement in this matter.
But Qin Jiyan pretended not to hear it and continued: "Grandpa Huang, before today I only found out that the money in the treasury was related to the Star Reaching Tower. I don't know what role Jing Yan played in it."
"Today Gu Qiancheng led people to search the Star Building and captured the manager of the Star Building. After torture and extortion, he learned about the relationship between Jing Yan and the Star Building."
"After learning Jing Yan's identity, I immediately mobilized people to surround six doors and wanted to kill Jing Yan. However, Jing Yan was so powerful in martial arts that the guards were no match for him. Not to mention, Jing Yan would bury Jing Yan in order to get out of trouble.
The masters in the capital called, and I made hasty arrangements. Since I was short of manpower, I had no chance of winning against Jing Yan's group of highly skilled martial artists."
"At that time, I was ready to mobilize the officers and soldiers guarding the city, but I didn't want Eunuch Li to bring me a decree at the critical moment, saying that he would arrest me and bring me to the palace. Then I saw my fifth uncle coming with a large number of imperial troops."
When Qin Jiyan said this, he raised his head and saw that the old emperor looked like he was about to eat someone. Qin Jiyan stopped decisively and said in a low voice: "Grandpa Huang, Jing Yan took the fifth uncle as a hostage. It was indeed my carelessness. No
Take good care of the fifth uncle. But the fifth uncle is already in Jing Yan's hands, and I can't just watch something happen to the fifth uncle."
When the old emperor heard Qin Jiyan mentioning the fifth prince, and then thought of what Concubine Gu had done tonight, he was filled with anger. He said without thinking: "Lao Wu? Who is he? How can his life be the same as that of the descendants of Prince Zhaoren?"
life ratio?"
It was obvious that the old emperor could sacrifice the fifth prince in order to kill Jing Yan. Perhaps even Qin Jiyan could be sacrificed without hesitation. Qin Jiyan was not only his grandson, he could still take over the throne after Qin Jiyan died.
Pass it on to others.
But Jing Yan is different. Jing Yan is a descendant of Prince Zhaoren and an orthodox descendant of the Qin royal family. For people like the old emperor who steal the throne, the orthodox descendant is a sharp sword hanging over their heads.
You can't feel at ease if you kill them all.
However, the old emperor could coldly say that he did not care about the life or death of the fifth prince, but Qin Jiyan could not. If he really did not care about the life or death of the fifth prince, not only the old emperor but also all the officials would scold Qin Jiyan for being cold-blooded and ruthless afterwards.
Too cool and thin.
Let me ask, would a person who doesn't even care about his own uncle care about the people who do things for him?
Who would dare to sacrifice their life for such a person?
After the old emperor finished speaking, he also knew that what he said was wrong. Some things could be done in private, but they could never be said openly. Saying it would be giving others a handle.
"Ahem..." The old emperor coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, "Did you send someone to chase him?" No matter what, he would not let Jing Yan go.
"Grandpa Huang, I cannot mobilize the garrison outside the city." Qin Jiyan spoke very cleverly.
Do you see, it's not that he doesn't do it but that he can't do it? You, the emperor, don't give me the rights, what do you want me to do?
"What? You didn't send someone to chase you? Did I send you some people?" The old emperor's hands shook, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.
Having missed the opportunity, can they still find Jing Yan?
"Grandpa Huang, those people have gone outside the city to look for money. I didn't know about Jing Yan beforehand." Qin Jiyan was extremely bachelor, and he dismissed everything without knowing anything.
"You...are you really ignorant or are you pretending not to know?" The old emperor covered his heart and breathed heavily.
This is a sign of illness. If it were normal, the confidant eunuchs around the old emperor would definitely come forward to get the medicine as soon as possible and persuade the old emperor to calm down, but today...
The confidant eunuch was just like a rice dumpling, thrown by Qin Jiyan in the side hall, keeping it for the old emperor to say goodbye to the relationship between master and servant.
"I really don't know. I have been in the northwest and rarely interacted with Jing Yan. All I know about Jing Yan is from the recommendation of Master Feng and the fifth uncle." Qin Jiyan once again hacked Master Feng and the fifth prince without leaving any trace.
A handful.
There was no way, the Feng family was really unkind to Jing Yan. He appreciated the Feng family's loyalty to the royal family, but from his standpoint, he couldn't appreciate the Feng family's loyalty to Jing Yan.
"Master Feng?" The old emperor didn't take the fifth prince seriously. Even the fifth prince, that idiot, couldn't possibly know Jing Yan's identity.
"Not only Mr. Feng, but also officials from various ministries have a very good impression of Jing Yan. Jing Yan was indispensable for the fifth uncle's success in setting up the bank quickly." Qin Jiyan was quite kind and did not step on Feng to death.
grown ups.
Qin Jiyan's feelings towards the Feng family are very ambivalent. Although he is dissatisfied with the Feng family's protection of the Jing family, he also hopes that one day, he or his descendants will encounter someone like Jing Yan, or someone like the Feng family.
of people...
No one can truly hate a person who values friendship!
A note to readers:
When I wrote the last sentence, I really wanted to cry. I really like Mr. Feng... I was late today. I looked at the wall and thought about it. I will definitely get early tomorrow, at least at ten o'clock.
