"Shut up!" When Zhao Si heard this, he was furious, kicked Jiang Qian on the shoulder and said: "Your master instigated you to do such a thing to deceive the emperor, and you just followed it? You really have the heart of a bear and a leopard of courage. !”

Jiang Qian screamed in pain and kept begging for mercy: "Mr. Zhao, please spare your life! I really know my mistake and I will never dare to do it again from now on! Please be merciful and let me go." Let’s live!”

Zhao Si snorted coldly, ignored him, turned around and winked at the jailer.

The jailer understood, stepped forward, picked up Jiang Qian, and sneered: "Let's go, Butler Jiang, I'll change you to a better cell!"

After a while, in Chu Ze's study.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Qian has already confessed." Zhao Si stood respectfully in front of Chu Ze's case and reported in a low voice.

"Oh?" Chu Ze looked up at him and said with a half-smile: "It seems our strategy worked. Tell me, what did he tell you?"

Zhao Si quickly reported the situation one by one.

After hearing this, Chu Ze had a playful smile on his lips.

He tapped the table lightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "I have guessed a long time ago that the mastermind behind this is probably Jiang Guogong's Jiang Mansion."

Zhao Si also sighed and said: "From what I see, the Jiang Mansion really doesn't take us seriously. It's really unreasonable to dare to instigate the servants to do such deeds to deceive the king!"

Chu Ze sneered, stood with his hands behind his back, and walked slowly: "Don't be anxious yet, we have to set up another round."

"No?" Zhao Si was puzzled.

"You lock up Jiang Qian first, and stay put for the time being." Chu Ze ordered: "In the past few days, you sent people to spread the news that Jiang Qian was arrested by the government, and at the same time secretly sent people to keep an eye on the Jiang family. I want to Let’s see how the young master of the Jiang family will react when he finds out that his confidant butler has been arrested.”

Zhao Si suddenly realized it and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is wise! I will do it now!"

"Go." Chu Ze waved his hand and said, "Be careful."

"No!" Zhao Si accepted the order and left quickly.

Chu Ze sat in the study with a thoughtful look on his face, his brows furrowed.

He knew very well that the dignified Duke Jiang was an important minister in the dynasty and held a high position. If the Jiang family was finally found to be causing trouble, he would just blame everything on Jiang Qian, and nothing would happen in the end.

Over the years, the Jiang family has become accustomed to being arrogant and domineering in Fengyang City, and has never paid much attention to the government.

If they don't take this opportunity to hammer it out, they don't know how long they will be arrogant.

"In my opinion, that Young Master Jiang must be an arrogant master. Now that his confidant has been captured, I'm afraid he won't be able to sit still."

Chu Ze paced with his hands behind his back and analyzed slowly: "If he is as I expected, he will definitely do something outrageous when he is angry. At that time, I will just use the topic to make this matter bigger."

"At that time, enough evidence of guilt will be collected and the emperor will be informed. Not only will the emperor have a legitimate reason to deal with the Jiang family, but he will also be able to use this to beat other wealthy families. This will serve as a warning to the monkeys! This will accomplish multiple things with one stone, isn't it wonderful?"

The more Chu Ze thought about it, the more proud he became, and he couldn't help but feel relaxed.

The next day, rumors spread like wildfire in Fengyang City, and everyone on the streets knew about the news that "the housekeeper of Jiang Mansion was arrested."

In the courtyard of Jiang Mansion, Jiang Jiangkai, the eldest son of Jiang, was discussing countermeasures with several close friends.

"Hmph, this Chu Ze, how dare he put people from our Jiang family in jail? Is he tired of living?" Jiang Jiangkai slapped his palm on the table, furious.

"Young master, calm down," a confidant on the side quickly advised: "Chu Ze has the support of the imperial court behind him. We have to take a long-term view on this matter." "A long-term plan? That is a coward's approach!" Jiang Jiangkai sneered and said: "I, the young master, will do this today. I want to kill the government and rescue Jiang Qian, let’s see if Chu Ze still dares to be so bold!”

"Young master, think twice," another confidant was also anxious and quickly stopped him: "If this matter is not handled properly, I'm afraid it will cause fire. When the time comes, the master will be implicated, what should I do?"

Jiang Jiangkai waved his hand disapprovingly and said arrogantly: "My father is the majestic Jiang Guogong, a popular man in front of the emperor. A mere Chu Ze, why don't you just get rid of him if you want? Let's see how arrogant he can be!"

"Master, I think it's better to discuss it with the palace first and see what the master wants." A butler with some experience cautiously advised.

"No need!" Jiang Jiang stood up excitedly and said with a sinister look: "It's not their turn to dictate what I do!"

Seeing this, all the confidants looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Prepare your horse, I will go to the government to ask for an explanation right now!" Jiang Jiangkai ordered: "I will not give up until I bring Jiang Qian back today!"

In the Jiang Mansion, everyone was trembling and did not dare to disobey.

Jiang Jiangkai was so filled with hatred that he said, "Chu Ze, you little man, how dare you dare to attack me, Jiang Jiangkai! Sooner or later, I want you to look good!"

On the other side, Chu Ze was sitting leisurely in the living room, drinking tea and admiring flowers.

Suddenly I heard a noise outside the window.

Zhao Si walked in quickly, looking a little panicked and said: "Prince Qi, it's not good! The young master of the Jiang family is here with a group of people with murderous intent!"

"Oh?" Chu Ze put down the tea cup calmly, with a smile of victory appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"We came just in time. It seems our plan was very accurate."

He stood up slowly, stood with his hands behind his back, and ordered Zhao Si: "Let them come in."

"Yes!" Zhao Si took the order and left.

Not long after, Jiang Jiangkai stormed through the door of the mansion aggressively, followed by a group of vicious servants.

"Chu Ze! Get out of here!" Jiang Jiangkai shouted angrily.

Chu Ze walked up to him unhurriedly and said with a smile: "Oh, isn't this Master Jiang? I've come to welcome you from afar. I wonder what the honor of Master Jiang is when you come here?"

Jiang Jiangkai was angered by his attitude and sneered: "Chu Ze, stop pretending to be confused! What do you mean by putting people from my Jiang family in prison?"

"People from the Jiang Mansion?" Chu Ze pretended to be confused and said, "I don't know what Master Jiang is talking about."

"Shut up!" Jiang Jiangkai shouted angrily: "If you don't let me go today, don't blame me, Jiang Jiangkai, for being rude!"

Chu Ze was not angry but smiled and said: "Young master is joking. Do the officials arrest people when they say they want to be arrested and release people when they say they want to be released? This is not something that I, the prince, can make the decision."

"You!" Jiang Jiangkai was so angry that he was shaking all over and was speechless for a moment.

The servants nearby saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Young master, please calm down. You can't be violent in public."

Jiang Jiangkai finally suppressed the anger in his heart and said through gritted teeth: "Chu Ze, don't be proud! I tell you, in three days, my father will be able to take away your title of bullshit prince! Then it will be up to you. How arrogant!" (End of Chapter)
