Nie Linjiang, an imperial envoy sent by Emperor Jinghe to Jiuquan, Suzhou to inspect local civil affairs, sent a memorial, reporting that Kong Qingfeng, the Minister of Personnel who went to Jiuquan with him, died of illness in the back yamen of Jiuquan County on the first day of August!

Kong Qingfeng and Nie Linjiang should have rushed to Jiuquan, Suzhou at the beginning of spring, but due to various reasons, they only said that they left Beijing to Jiuquan in late spring this year. The two set out from Kang'an and took nearly two months to arrive at Jiuquan, more than 3,800 miles away. On the first day of August, Kong Qingfeng died of illness in the back of Jiuquan. How could the imperial envoy suddenly die of illness? How could this not make Long Live who had high expectations for the two?

Wansui immediately summoned the three masters of the left and right two prime ministers and Tianzhang Pavilion to enter the palace. When it was dark, the five people had not left the palace. The six ministries and nine prisons did not dare to disperse the yamen. The officials held their breath and were cautious in their words and actions, for fear that they would be troubled. The drinking party between Jiang Erye and Shan Xianxin was naturally put on hold.

At the hour of Hai, the palace gate finally opened. Qin Tianye, Duke Huguo, Duke Duke Duke, and Huang Tong walked out with calm faces, but the Grand Tutor Yin Qian was left in the palace by Long Live.

After the four of them returned to their homes, the officials of each yamen dared to disperse the yamen and return to the homes. The first thing Jiang Song did when he returned to the homes was to call his second brother over to ask what happened in the palace.

Mr. Jiang Er has been asked several times today, and he answered this question quite smoothly, "Longsui summoned me to the palace to chat, and then the six hundred miles from Jiuquan, Suzhou were sent in a hurry, so I retreated. In a short while, I heard the sound of the Longsui falling memorial. Yang Feng came out and asked me to leave the palace first. I didn't dare to ask or read it randomly, so I hurried out."

Jiang Song said in pain, "Master Kong is only in his early forties and has always been healthy. How could he die suddenly?"

Uncle Qiu knew that something would happen to Kong Qingfeng and Nie Linjiang, but he did not expect it to be so soon. "Mr. Kong is the favorite disciple of the Taifu. He is decisive in his work and upright in nature. He is a talent that the Taifu devoted himself to. He is a major loss to the court when he is in Jiuquan."

Long live to investigate Suzhou strictly. When most officials of the court looked forward and did not dare to volunteer, he took the initiative to share the worries for the king, faced difficulties, and split the layers of obstacles to the journey to Jiuquan. Who knew that after staying in Jiuquan for two months, he died in Huangquan. How could this not make Wan live and the Grand Tutor very sad and shock the ministers.

The Jiuquan officials were so rampant!

Jiang Huai guessed, "If such a thing happens, the magistrate of Jiuquan will not survive, right?"

Uncle Qiu shook his head, "Kong Qingfeng died of Jiuquan, and the magistrate of Jiuquan will surely die without any hesitation. But until he takes all the blame, Suzhou officials will not give him a chance to die."

Jiang Huai turned to look at his second brother, and Mr. Jiang said, "Uncle Qiu is right. Long live to issue an order to thoroughly investigate the cause of Kong Qingfeng's death. The magistrate of Jiuquan and all the officials were escorted to Kang'an. No matter how hard it is, there should be a conclusion next spring."

Long live the case, there will be a next move. At that time, his son will rush to Suzhou. Those people dared to kill the imperial envoy, but his son still had to enter the enemy camp alone. Why didn’t Mr. Jiang worry? Mr. Jiang raised his eyes and asked Uncle Qiu, “How is An Zheng who followed the imperial envoy back?”

Uncle Qiu didn't expect that something happened to Kong Qingfeng so soon, which means that the preparation time was shorter. As for An Zheng, "Kong Qingfeng is dead. If An Zheng was not protected by Nie Linjiang, he now has two possibilities: one is to be killed and the other is to escape. No matter which one it is, it is not easy to find him now. However, if he is still alive, he will definitely find a way to send us messages."

There was no sound in the room again. Jiang Huai couldn't stand such quietness, so he asked the silent Jiang Song, "Brother, long live sent two imperial envoys to Jiuquan. Isn't it still Lord Nie there if Lord Kong dies? It's not that he has the end of his life yet?"

Jiang Song shook his head, "The two imperial envoys sent to Jiuquan this time are the main ones, Kong Qingfeng, and Nie Linjiang as the auxiliary ones. Nie Linjiang is the doctor of the Ministry of War. He is a talent promoted from the Right Wu Guard and is familiar with the operation of food and money for the imperial guards. Long live to send him to investigate the food and money for the Zuo Wu Guard. However, in the matter of cutting the military power of the imperial guards, the Duke of the National Guards is ambiguous, and Nie Linjiang may not be able to find out anything."

Jiang Huai's eyes lit up, "Those people killed Kong Qingfeng but kept Nie Linjiang, which is enough to show that Kong Qingfeng brought them greater threat than Nie Linjiang!"

Jiang Song was also unsure of his mind, "Nie Linjiang's memorial reported that Kong Qingfeng was 'death'. These two words have profound meanings. Let's look at the next action of Suzhou and Nie Linjiang to infer the intention. No matter what, we should be careful in our words and actions, and we must not be caught in the wrong place at this moment."

After Jiang Song said this, everyone's eyes fell on Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang smiled, "Don't worry, brother, I will be cautious in my words and actions, and do not do anything extra."

Jiang Song nodded. For some reason, he always felt very uneasy and always felt that something bad was about to happen, so he reminded him again, "From now until Zheng'er gets married, you should not go anywhere except Xicheng Yamen and Jingzhao Mansion..."

Before Jiang Song finished speaking, Jiang Ming whispered outside the door, "Uncle, Master Chai Si sent someone to invite the second master, saying that there is something important to discuss."

Everyone...

Mr. Jiang Erpin put on the handle of the folding fan and hat brim. "Brother, look, should I go or leave... not?"

Jiang Song said helplessly, "Yi An is not a person who is unprovoked. Since he is looking for you at this time, there must be something big, go ahead."

"Yes." Mr. Jiang got up, walked out of the room and asked, "Where is Hanzhi?"

Jiang Houer lowered her voice and said, "In Dayunjing Temple."

Mr. Jiang...?!

"Go to change your clothes, let's go over."

When Mr. Jiang entered the dormitory in the backyard of Dayunjing Temple, Chai Yian, with a smirk, asked, "Second brother, have you been scolded?"

Mr. Jiang snorted, walked over and lay on the soft collapse, twisted a fruit from the table and threw it into his mouth to eat, and then said, "What should I do at this time?"

Chai Yian sat at the table and made tea in a good manner, handed it to Mr. Jiang, and then said, "Second brother, when will Ling'er go to Suzhou?"

Mr. Jiang raised his eyebrows, "What did you ask?"

Chai Yian sighed deeply, "My fifth brother wants to go with him."

Mr. Jiang sat up immediately, "Isn't this a mess? What are he going to do?"

"Who said no," Chai Yian sighed again, "but he insisted on going. My old man and third brother were moved by him. I couldn't persuade him no matter how hard I tried, so I came over to ask my second brother."

They are all their own brothers, so Mr. Jiang Er said something straight, "Hanzhi, the place in Suzhou is the dragon and tiger den, and he went there for a lifetime. Ling'er went there because he was carrying the hatred of killing his father and destroying his family. Why did Lin Ju take this risk? Besides, if he followed Ling'er, what if he really had something to do, why would you tell me to your father? Your elder brother and sister-in-law?"

The fifth son of the Chai family is the son of Chai Yi'an's third brother, and the name is Chai Linqi. This year, the fifteenth year, this child is indeed a little clever, but he is far from his own son. Ling'er returned to Suzhou to take revenge and establish a career. Mr. Jiang must not let Chai Linqi go and cause trouble for his son.

Chai Yian also said helplessly, "I said so to my family, so I can't let him go and cause trouble. So I came over to ask my second brother, if Lao Wu insists on going, when do you think he will set off?"
