Chapter 13 Returning home in glory and settling grudges When they were still more than thirty miles away from Suzhou Prefecture, Jiang Qingzhi was reading a book in the car. "Son." Dou Jialan was outside the car. "What's the matter?" Jiang Qingzhi put down the book. Sun Chonglou lifted the car curtain, revealing Dou Jialan's pretty face which looked somewhat cold. Jiang Qingzhi was quite curious about the fact that a woman actually served as a centurion in the Jinyiwei and seemed to have some abilities. Dou Jialan glanced at Sun Chonglou. "My young master doesn't even avoid me when he goes to the toilet!" Sun Chonglou said with his head held high. Jiang Qingzhi's face was full of black lines.
Dou Jialan remembered the secret report from the Embroidered Uniform Guard: his servant Sun Chonglou was willing to go to jail and serve the nobleman, and could be described as a loyal servant. Along the way, Jiang Qingzhi told Sun Chonglou that they were master and servant, but in fact, he was more like his own younger brother. Dou Jialan lowered his voice, "Sir, the local officials have some connections with various forces in the capital." "What do you want to say?" Jiang Qingzhi felt that the woman was not straightforward. "I haven't even been to the capital yet, but I have offended a big boss. Is that unwise?" I’m glad you knew it…Dou Jialan was silent. "I heard that many officials were quite disrespectful to Your Majesty?" Jiang Qingzhi glanced at Dou Jialan, and just as Dou Jialan's body was shaken, he said indifferently: "The Jinyiwei are your majesty's henchmen. They are cautious in their actions. Are they being prudent or are they trying to please everyone?" Lu Bing was just that kind of person. Although he had a notorious reputation for being a vicious person, he was also very popular in the court. He took care of this person today and that person tomorrow, and earned a reputation for being a virtuous person. If it weren't for Emperor Jiajing's emphasis on friendship, the grass on Lu Bing's grave would have been three feet high. The curtain is lowered. Dou Jialan just stood there in a daze. Yes! The Jinyiwei are His Majesty's henchmen, and their actions should be based on His Majesty's position. In other words: The Jinyiwei are your majesty's dogs. No matter who your majesty tells you to bite, even if it is a god, you, Dou Jialan, will pounce on him and bite him without hesitation. As for the consequences, do they matter? Lu Bing specifically asked Dou Jialan to pursue Jiang Qingzhi because he valued her steadiness. But this steadiness has become a mistake in many cases. Dou Jialan recalled that his colleagues had laughed at him after drinking, "That woman Dou Jialan has done more meritorious service than me, but I am her superior now, so what? No matter how capable she is, if she can't be an official, she can only spit on my balls!" It turns out that my prudentness was wrong. Dou Jialan was shocked, and all the past events flashed through his mind...
It turns out that I was totally wrong! "Thank you for your guidance, sir." "Don't worry." In his previous life, Jiang Qingzhi was able to thrive in an anti-government armed group in a foreign country as a Chinese. It didn't take long for him to become a leader, and he was quite capable of forming alliances and making coalitions. "Young Master, you are so kind!" Dou Jialan was grateful in his heart and felt that the young nobleman was no ordinary person. "I don't care." Jiang Qingzhi didn't plan to hang out with the Jinyiwei, so as not to violate taboos, "But at least we are destined to meet, so I just said it casually." So elegant and bright! But I can't help but report it. Dou Jialan took a deep breath and said something, "Before I was ordered to go out and look for the young master, Your Majesty seemed to have dreamed of the late Queen Mother." Jiang Qingzhi just picked up the book and smiled when he heard it. "The Queen Mother came to me in a dream? Interesting." The Empress Dowager Jiang was very tough, while the Emperor Jiajing was very filial. The Empress Dowager Jiang appeared in her dream and said, "My dear son, have you found my little brother?" What, no? Do you think my words are just wind in your ears? Emperor Jiajing naturally did not dare to neglect... In one sentence, Jiang Qingzhi guessed the outcome of the matter. That ended a lot of speculation. Jiang Qingzhi felt that he had made a profit because he got this important information in exchange for a piece of advice. "Thank you very much." "I should thank you." Sun Chonglou looked inside and outside the car and suddenly burst out laughing. "What are you laughing at?" Jiang Qingzhi asked. Sun Chonglou said: "Master, I told you not to get angry." "Speak." Jiang Qingzhi was in a good mood. "The young master and Captain Dou were courteous to each other, just like the fifth young master of the Ye family and his bride when they got married." Dou Jialan's pretty face turned red. If it was someone else, she would punish him, but not Sun Chonglou. She could only suppress her anger secretly. "Get out!" Jiang Qingzhi cursed. "Understood sir!" Sun Chonglou made a face at Dou Jialan and rode his horse to the front to brag to the soldiers. After this incident, the relationship between Jiang Qingzhi and Dou Jialan took a step further. Jiang Qingzhi was a seasoned man and pieced together a clue from Dou Jialan's fragmentary remarks along the way. ——Emperor Jiajing and his ministers were indeed rivals, and the Taoist priest was almost alone. ——If Jiang Qingzhi came to Beijing and just became a parasite, it would be fine. But if he wanted to make a difference, those people would pour out their anger on him, which they dared not pour out on Emperor Jiajing... Am I scared? Jiang Qingzhi laughed.
A team of Jinyiwei came escorting the imperial physician. Brought the emperor's care. The imperial physician was in such a hurry along the way that his old bones were almost broken. "Where is your Excellency?" The imperial physician dismounted trembling. It's no big deal if old bones are falling apart, but it's a big deal if something happens to a noble person. Jiang Qing got off the carriage. The imperial physician took a look. "It's a lung disease, and it's a chronic disease." Hey! interesting! Jiang Qingzhi was delighted. "Hand out!" The imperial physician entered the procedure, made a diagnosis, and asked Jiang Qingzhi about the medicines he had taken in the past, etc. Seeing the imperial physician scratching his head, Jiang Qingzhi said, "The famous doctors in Suzhou Prefecture are helpless in treating my illness. Just do your best." The imperial physician said: "Your majesty's chronic illness has been with you since your mother's womb, and ordinary methods are unlikely to work. However, I have written down a prescription..." Later, the imperial physician came over with a moxa stick, and Sun Chonglou sighed, "Young Master has had moxibustion many times over the years, but it's useless." "If it is an ordinary method, how can it show my medical skills?" The imperial physician proudly lit the moxa stick, and as the smoke swirled, Jiang Qingzhi smelled the scent of medicinal herbs. "Isn't it moxa?" "Your Excellency's chronic illness is deep in your lungs, and medicine can only reach the surface. Come, take a sip." The imperial physician handed the medicine to Jiang Qingzhi's nose. Jiang Qingzhi took a breath and felt particularly comfortable in his lungs. "There's mint..." "There are still a few good medicines." The imperial physician asked proudly, "What do you think, Your Excellency?" Jiang Qingzhi took the medicine pill and subconsciously held it between his lips and took a sip. A cool medicinal smell spread from the mouth to the lungs. "Comfortable." The imperial physician was startled. "Yes, it's better to inhale it directly." Turning back, the imperial physician muttered, "How come your noble master is so skilled in inhaling the medicinal smoke? Has any doctor used this method before? Oh! I was so proud before, which must have been ridiculous in your eyes." Ahead, the city of Suzhou comes into view.
Sun Chonglou said excitedly: "Master, we are almost home." Jiang Qing got off the carriage and mounted his horse. Dou Jialan stepped forward, and so did the dozens of elite cavalrymen. Wait in silence. Jiang Qingzhi looked at the city wall and smiled, "I, Jiang Qingzhi, am back again." …… Jiang family. After Jiang Qingzhi was exiled, Ye's people moved into the Jiang family. Ye Xuan and his daughter both passed away. The people left behind by Jiang Qingzhi were no match for these local tyrants, and soon most of them bowed their heads and accepted their fate. According to seniority, Ye Xin is the cousin of Jiang Qingzhi's biological mother, so Jiang Qingzhi has to call him uncle. People over 40 should be free from doubts. It is popular in Jiangnan to give themselves nicknames. Even bandits have nicknames. Ye Xin gave himself the nickname: Yang Zai, but he didn't know what it meant. There are many members of the Ye clan, and many of them came today. Only the leading figures in the clan can enter the hall, while others can only circle in the yard waiting for news. Jiang Qingzhi was exiled, and the Jiang family’s property should have been confiscated. But Ye is here! Ye Xin and others used their connections and offered many benefits, so the government said: Jiang is a son-in-law, and 70% of Ye Xuan's property should be inherited by the clan. Today is the day to divide the Jiang family's property. Hosted by Ye Xin. There were more than a dozen members of the Ye clan in the hall. They seemed reserved, but they were actually eagerly waiting for him to speak. "What are you waiting for?" Someone couldn't help laughing and asked, "Can that fool crawl out of his grave?" "Maybe, that tuberculotic guy can escape back!" someone said seriously, causing a burst of laughter. "If he dares to escape back, I will kill him for the sake of justice." An old man of high rank sneered, "I have long disliked that father and son. Damn it, this is Ye's land, how can Jiang make the decision? They are occupying the magpie's nest, shameless. If that sick ghost is here, I will definitely slap him! Let's see if he dares to fight back!" Everyone laughed. "It's a blessing for Second Uncle to take action. That sickly guy can only kneel down and get beaten." There was a sudden commotion outside. Someone exclaimed, "That tuberculosis guy is back." "Jiang Qingzhi has escaped back." The second uncle stood up suddenly and said, "Bring him here, I will personally send him to jail!"
"No need." Following a clear voice, the outside became quiet. Everyone stood up and looked back. Jiang Qingzhi walked in slowly. Second Uncle sneered, "These are all your elders. Why are you fleeing in fear of the crime? Why don't you kneel down?" Hey! At this time, there was a scream outside. The second uncle heard the voice sounded familiar and asked, "Old Third?" A man rushed in, tumbling and crawling, his left face swollen, looking extremely miserable. He shouted, "Second Uncle, Sun Chonglou has taken action." Sun Chonglou came in. "Master!" The second uncle pointed his spear at Jiang Qingzhi, his beard raised, and cursed: "Are you all dead? Go ahead, take down this bastard!" Jiang Qingzhi looked at these people, and the emotions left by his original body in his mind were very complicated, including joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. "It's time to put an end to this." Jiang Qingzhi didn't want to dwell on this matter. "It's time to end this." Ye Xin slammed the table and said coldly, "The clan has agreed to expel you, a lowly creature, from the Ye family!" Jiang Gan was a son-in-law and could not be included in the Ye family tree. But Jiang Qingzhi was different. After he was born, Ye Xuan personally went to the family, gave him some benefits, and recorded Jiang Qingzhi in the family tree. In this way, the Ye family, who are of good descent, will have the legitimate right to inherit the family business. Second uncle laughed, "A dog that has lost its home, hahahaha!" "Oh no." At this time, there was a commotion outside, some people were screaming, some were exclaiming, and it was a mess. "Quiet!" shouted the second uncle. It really got quiet outside. Only the sound of orderly footsteps came towards the lobby. Everyone couldn't help but look. Flying fish suit. Embroidered Spring Knife. Second Uncle and Ye Xin exclaimed, "Jinyiwei!" And the one leading the team was actually a female centurion. What a big deal! Everyone looked at Jiang Qingzhi with extreme pity.
I wondered how this sickly man had managed to escape and attract the pursuit of the Imperial Guards. The female centurion walked up to Jiang Qingzhi. He bowed his head and said respectfully: "According to your instructions, I arrested Ye Tian's family, tortured them and interrogated them. As you guessed, Ye Tian was instigated to humiliate you in the street that day." "Sir?" Second Uncle's body shook. Ye Xin and others were stunned. Am I dreaming? Jiang Qingzhi pointed at the people in the lobby. "Take it." He turned and left. Behind him, Dou Jialan shouted, "As you command. Come on, get started." Behind me, there were begging voices and screams of disbelief... Jiang Qingzhi walked out of the lobby. More than a dozen members of the Ye clan were kneeling at the wall outside, looking at the son of the son-in-law whom they had looked down upon in the past, and they felt great regret in their hearts. Jiang Qingzhi's eyes turned. In the original body's memory, he had been looked down upon and bullied by the Ye clan members since he was a child. I will vent your anger for you and put an end to the bad fate between us. "Stone." "Master!" Sun Chonglou came with a sword. Jiang Qingzhi pointed at these people and asked, "What should we do if someone breaks into a house and robs it?" Sun Chonglou scratched his head. "According to the rules in Suzhou Prefecture, if you encounter a thief breaking into your house, it is not against the law to break his legs." "What are you waiting for?" "Do not." "Forgive me!" "Qingzhi, please spare me!" Jiang Qingzhi's heart was as hard as iron. Dozens of elite cavalrymen took off their long swords and scabbards and smashed them hard. Outside the door, the Suzhou Prefecture constables who had come to arrest Jiang Qingzhi upon hearing the news were whipped by the Jinyiwei and ran all over the street... ……
