Hou Fu Di Daughter-in-Law

Chapter 32 Punishment
Marquis Ming Ying guessed correctly, the spies arranged by Shen Yan hid in the crowd to see Yao Shangshu's family off.

Although they have different positions from Yao Shangshu, seeing the family leave in embarrassment and being humiliated by the ruthless Commander Jiang before leaving, they can't help but sympathize with the unfortunate Yao Shangshu.

The news reached the ears of Zhao Pingce, the imperial guard. Zhao Pingce was jealous of Jiang Chenqi's status as a woman, and did not see that Commander Jiang had leadership skills.She thought that Jiang Chenqi was using tricks to confuse the emperor, and she wanted to catch Commander Jiang.

"Commander Jiang is so majestic, and she has been showing off for a while. First, she detained Yao Shangshu's family, then tortured the family until they looked bad, and now she humiliated Yao Shangshu when she was saying goodbye. She really is a cruel and shameless treacherous official."

Seeing the emperor with the news of the spies, Zhao Pingce knelt down and counted Jiang Chenqi's mistakes, "Commander Jiang, as the commander of the imperial guards, did not follow the law, abused his power to torture Yao Shangshu's family, and tortured a good example of a scholar into a countryman. old farmer."

"According to the regulations, the dowry of the women's family members will be confiscated. In order to humiliate Yao Shangshu, Commander Jiang deliberately asked the guards who confiscated the house to keep the dowry. If Yao Shangshu's family is killed and the dowry falls into her hands, it will be a wishful thinking."

It is normal for subordinates to be greedy, and Shen Yan does not force his subordinates to be selfless saints.Thinking of Jiang Chenqi's frowning recently, Commander Jiang has been domineering recently, and did not discuss with him before doing things.

Jiang Chenqi's reputation outside the palace was even worse, she humiliated Yao Lixing so well, and did such a mindless thing.

Shen Yan decided to beat his restless subordinates, and ordered Zhao Pingce to go to the Commander's Mansion of the Imperial Guard to invite someone.

Zhao Pingce came to the Commander's Mansion with a team of guards, and saw Jiang Chenqi who was drinking tea leisurely.

Jiang Chenqi was wearing black and purple clothes for a first-rank official. She looked majestic and majestic. It was the clothes that Zhao Pingce dreamed of wearing. A first-rank official, how many officials dreamed of life.

Talking to Jiang Chenqi with a straight face, Zhao Pingce's tone was very indifferent, "Commander Jiang is so leisurely, wouldn't your conscience hurt when you humiliated Yao Shangshu in public. Follow me into the palace quickly and listen to the emperor's teachings."

Conscience won't hurt but she feels peace of mind, Jiang Chenqi will try her best to do what should be done.In order to protect Yao Shangshu's family for a while, she has spent a lot of effort, not only protecting Yao Shangshu's wife and children, but also letting them learn the skills that farmers should master.

Putting down the teacup, she didn't intend to invite Zhao Huwei to drink tea. Jiang Chenqi stood up and said expressionlessly: "How can you be soft-hearted towards criminals? Zhao Huwei pays attention to your words and deeds. If you speak for Yao Shangshu, I will suspect that you have something to hide with him." Relationship."

Zhao Pingce, who snorted heavily, turned around and took the lead to leave, too lazy to waste words with Commander Jiang.

The emperor only summoned her, and Jiang Chenqi entered the palace alone with the imperial guards.

On the way, Jiang Chenqi thought and saw how the emperor defended herself.After tossing Yao Shangshu, the emperor must be happy to watch the show, since the emperor opened his golden mouth to let people know that his anger is gone, why should he teach her when his anger is gone.

Could it be that someone was slandering the emperor, Jiang Chenqi looked sharply at Zhao Pingce.

As the emperor's personal bodyguard, Zhao Pingce has always been at odds with her, and it is possible to speak ill of her behind her back.

Seeing Shen Yan knelt down decisively, Jiang Chenqi knelt down quietly without hearing Shen Yan get up.

After reading half of the anthology of poems from the former dynasty, Shen Yan put down the book, and said slowly, "Commander Jiang, do you realize that you are wrong? Recently, you have acted on your own initiative and caused trouble for Yao Shangshu. Why bother, it will make your reputation even worse."

Jiang Chenqi has no complaints or regrets about how Yao Shangshu's family would be safe and sound without her unnecessary actions.

"I don't think I'm wrong. The evidence collected shows that Yao Lixing is a hypocrite who is good at acting. On the surface, he is a household minister who is dedicated to the people. In private, he loves money and enjoys it. He deceives the emperor and civil and military officials. Treat this kind of treacherous minister. You can't let it go. It's really kind of the emperor to grant Yao Lixing the grace to retire and return to his hometown."

Shen Yan knew how the evidence came from. Seeing that Jiang Chenqi firmly believed in the false evidence, she felt a little complacent, "Yao Shangshu worked hard for the Northern Qi Dynasty, and he should be tolerant when he is old and confused. You shouldn't torture meritorious officials. See you at the Jinluan Palace." Seeing Yao Shangshu, father and son, I was too surprised to speak."

Yao Shangshu is admired by many scholars, and he has the demeanor of a sage in his life.When we meet again, the literati's elegant temperament has disappeared, and his clothes are ragged and tired. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that he has suffered a great crime at Jiang Tong's farm.

Jiang Chenqi looked down at the exquisite pattern on the carpet, feeling extremely ridiculous in her heart.The person who sent people to forge criminal evidence was the emperor, and the person who acquiesced in her torturing the Yao family was also the emperor. Now that she speaks sarcasticly, she will probably be punished.

Seeing that Jiang Chenqi didn't speak, Shen Yan said in a dissatisfied tone and indifferently: "You are so capable, why don't you deal with Xie Jinghuai, he has been refusing to hand over the military amulet for so long, making me sleepless. I think you are a bully , your attitude of arrogance recently has offended the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, so I will teach you a lesson. Commander Jiang arrogantly suppressed the meritorious Yao Shangshu, took back part of the supervisory power, and punished him with fifteen battles."

Jiang Chenqi would not feel distressed by taking back all supervisory rights, and she would feel ashamed to be punished.

The eunuch who hit the board didn't show mercy, and beat the board with great strength, without giving Commander Jiang any face.

Whether it's a palace eunuch or a palace maid, few people like Commander Jiang, and Commander Jiang's reputation is not good enough.

Gritting her teeth and supporting herself to stand up, Jiang Chenqi remembered the faces of the two eunuchs, lowered her voice and said in a gloomy voice: "Don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. The two of you should pay more attention recently. Beware of evil spirits coming to claim your life. It’s not uncommon for a person to die.”

The two eunuchs were trembling. They felt relieved when they hit the board, and they forgot that Commander Jiang is the one who must take revenge.

Zhao Pingce strode over, waved his hand to let the eunuch leave, and said in a mocking tone: "Commander Jiang's temperament has changed drastically recently, and he actually threatened the two eunuchs. There is nothing wrong with their orders. If you ask me, they are light enough. You can also see When the time comes, the emperor will not spoil you unconditionally, it is inappropriate for a woman to be an official, it is better to resign as soon as possible and get married early."

Thinking of Jiang Chenqi's bad reputation, Zhao Pingce changed his words and said: "I have been the commander of the imperial guards for a long time. I think Commander Jiang has made a lot of money. It is right and wrong to leave the capital, go to settle in a place that no one knows, and find a good man." What a life."

Zhao Huwei's persuasion was all nonsense. He seemed to be thinking of her and did not consider her situation.

Dare to belittle her female status, Jiang Chenqi said bluntly: "It is an honor for Jiang to be an official in the court. As a high-ranking official, I will trample countless men under my feet and enjoy the prestige of being the commander of the imperial guards. How about marrying a husband and teaching children?" It's the life of a mediocre woman, but I, Jiang Chenqi, are destined to be a master and take a different path. Zhao Huwei's vision is too low, and there are queens in neighboring countries. Who says women must be virtuous. If you like Ruyi Langjun, just look for it. .”
