Chapter 552 The truth

Liu Xian committed suicide, which was exactly what Jiang Lang needed. Seeing Liu Xian's slowly falling body, Jiang Lang was still sitting on the chair, then stood up, sighed slightly, and said, "Come on, bury him well. After investigating his soldiers, it is not enough to confirm that no one is involved in this matter, and then promote a hundred household chief to the position of thousands of households!"

Qian Zhengbang nodded and said, "Sir, then to his family?"

Jiang Lang pondered for a moment and said, "I hope this matter will not be publicized. After all, it is the matter of our Dongchang, and it is not good to spread it. Moreover, I promised him just now, so I naturally cannot speak without trust. Send someone to protect his family before I get rid of that person!"

"Yes, sir!"

Qian Zhengbang immediately agreed.

Jiang Lang waved his hand and said, "Okay, carry him down and bury him well!"

Qian Zhengbang nodded, immediately found someone, bury Liu Xian's body, and then carried it out. Then Jiang Lang made news that he was assassinated last night, and Liu Xianfen fought against the assassin and was accidentally killed. As for the thousand soldiers under Liu Xian, after investigations one by one, they confirmed that they had no relationship with Liu Xian's assassination, they were released.

However, Liu Xian's death also reached their ears. And based on the detention of his and others, these soldiers also knew that Liu Xian was definitely not dying to protect this adult. There must be a reason, but at least no one dared to investigate the truth now.

After the morning court the next day, Emperor Jingtai immediately sent someone to summon Jiang Lang.

After receiving the summons from Emperor Jingtai, Jiang Lang came to the imperial study room of the palace. After the guards reported it, Jiang Lang walked in. In addition to Emperor Jingtai, Yu Qian was also there, and of course, there was Eunuch Qian who had been serving Emperor Jingtai.

"I bow to the emperor!"

Jiang Lang said, then bent down and knelt down.

"Flat, flat!"

Emperor Jingtai said quickly and asked, "I heard that you met an assassin last night?"

Jiang Lang nodded slightly and said, "Because I handled official business, I went home very late and met an assassin halfway!"

"Then are you hurt?"

Emperor Jingtai asked quickly, and his words also expressed concern.

Jiang Lang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is not the case. Because there is a subordinate who is fighting desperately with each other, I am not injured."

Emperor Jingtai nodded slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I heard about this news early this morning. Fortunately, you have nothing to do, as for which subordinate?"

Jiang Lang lowered his head slightly and said, "That subordinate was seriously injured in order to protect his safety and died! I have ordered someone to be buried with a grand ceremony, and then sent silver to his house!"

When he finished speaking, Jiang Lang looked at Eunuch Qian and saw that his expression seemed very unnatural. He probably knew that this subordinate would not be so simple when he met an assassin.

Emperor Jingtai sighed slightly and said, "This person is really loyal and should be rewarded!"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "This minister knows that he will definitely reward him well. After all, it is really rare to have such a loyal subordinate now!"

Emperor Jingtai agreed very much about this, but after nodding, he said angrily: "This assassin is really bold, I don't know who did it!"

Jiang Lang pondered slightly and said, "I thought about it. It is very likely that the accomplices of the evil men who were arrested a few days ago have been involved in the capital."

"Then't all arrested last time?"

Emperor Jingtai asked quickly.

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "When I was arrested last time, some assassins fled at night, but have not been arrested so far. Therefore, I think that the assassins who assassinated this time should be these assassins. In this capital, only these assassins want to be unfavorable to me. However, I have sent more people to investigate and investigate. It is estimated that it will take not long to be able to see me!"

Emperor Jingtai showed a hint of relaxation and said, "If this happens, I will feel relieved. You are my right-hand man now, so you must protect yourself well. The court cannot do without you!"

Jiang Lang lowered his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I will definitely keep this useful body and serve the court!"

Emperor Jingtai seemed a little relieved. After the two of them exchanged greetings for a while, Jiang Lang said goodbye and left the imperial study room. However, as soon as he went out, he heard Yu Qian shouting behind his back, and stopped, turned around and said, "Mr. Yu, are you in trouble?"

Yu Qian raised his hand and said, "Let's go, and you'll chat as you walk!"

After the two walked out for a while, Yu Qian asked: "What happened last night?"

Jiang Lang was stunned and smiled and said, "I have already said just now that I met an assassin."

Yu Qian stopped and said lightly: "Mr. Wang, your verbal can deceive the emperor, but I can't deceive me. Last night, you didn't meet any assassin!"

Jiang Lang still smiled and said, "Sir Yu, you are joking."

"I didn't joke!"

Yu Qian seemed very serious and said, "Don't forget that the city defense force in the capital is under my control. Last night, there was no news that you encountered an attack in the capital. You should know that you are the chief manager of the East Factory. If you encounter assassination, how could anyone know about it? In other words, last night, you did not encounter any enemy at all!"

Jiang Lang couldn't help but be stunned, then smiled slightly, shook his head with some self-deprecating self-deprecating, and said, "It seems that my work is still a bit incomplete. Although I can deceive the emperor, I can't deceive you, Lord Yu!"

Yu Qian said with a serious look on his face: "Mr. Wang, I want to ask now, what happened last night? I don't think that Liu Xian was killed by an assassin because of protecting you!"

Jiang Lang looked around and felt that there was no need to hide it from Yu Qian, so he said, "Sir Yu, yes, I didn't meet an assassin last night, and Liu Xian died of suicide."

Yu Qian was slightly silent before asking: "Is this Liu Xian an accomplice with the man who assassinated you?"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Yes, he is, but this person is from my Dongchang after all, so I don't want others to come and ask about this matter, so I ordered him to commit suicide!"

"The envoy behind the scenes is clear?"

Yu Qian asked quickly, this was also a question he was very concerned about.

"Does Lord Yu want to know?"

Jiang Lang asked with a smile.

"Of course I want to know!"

Yu Qian blurted out and made his debut, so he was naturally very concerned about this matter.

"Then I want to ask Master Yu, if you know who this person is, what will Master Yu do?"

Jiang Lang asked again, then looked at Yu Qian carefully again, waiting for his answer.

Yu Qian was slightly silent, and then said, "I understand what you mean. This person must have a very good relationship with the emperor, so even if you know that he is the murderer, the emperor will not do anything to him. If I guess well, it should be Eunuch Qian."

Jiang Lang smiled, but did not nod immediately, saying, "And the most important thing now is that I have not made any real evidence, so I cannot arrest him immediately. And it is a person around the emperor. Therefore, the only thing I can do now is to cut off his hands and feet, and at the same time give him a warning to make him honest!"

"but……!"

Yu Qian was slightly silent, and then said, "Can this work?"

Jiang Lang couldn't help but sighed slightly and said, "To be honest, I don't know. It depends on this person's ambition. However, the only thing he can rely on is Dongchang. All I can do at the moment is to firmly hold Dongchang in his own hands. However, he broke his thoughts, and I was just a warning to him, telling him to fight me, he was still far from it. After all, if he rashly killed him, the emperor would definitely be unhappy, and even if I said it was him, the emperor would not believe it and would protect him!"

Yu Qian thought for a moment and said, "This eunuch is tyrannical and powerful, and it is largely based on the emperor's favor. Wang Zhen was the same now. Now he can only hope that this person can be a little more honest. However, if something really happens in the future, even if the emperor is unhappy, there is no way to get rid of him. I don't want Wang Zhen's incident to happen again!"

"I don't want it either!"

Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "If there is a positive one, I will take action, even if the emperor is unhappy!"

A cold light flashed in Jiang Lang's eyes!
