Empress with no Virtue Chapter 83: Discover

Ye Zhenzhen sprayed a strong dose of medicine into Jiangsu official circles this time. Following the clues provided by Chang Yu, she arrested many officials and beat them up. She was able to hit them all accurately and all of them confessed.

Officials cherish their lives the most. They say they are not afraid of death, but in fact the threat is not strong enough to make them feel the fear of death. Ye Zhenzhen was the queen, and she acted like a demon king. She didn't use any oil or salt, and directly used the whip to greet them. As long as they believed that she was the queen, they would naturally believe that even if the little ancestor beat them to death, they wouldn't have to pay for it with their lives. A few people still wanted to stand up in the hope that reinforcements would come, but unfortunately the empress was too ruthless and controlled everything inside and out so tightly that the news could not be conveyed at all. The empress also said that when you die, I will have you cut into pieces and thrown into the Qinhuai River to feed the fish. When the time comes, there will be no bones left, and there will be no evidence. The imperial court will only have a few officials, and you will not even be able to reincarnate.

This kind of ruthless, shameless and vexatious behavior shocked them all at once.

Ji Wu Jiu carefully read the confessions of these officials twice and found that they were very similar: there were details of money transactions, the amount of corruption was huge, but the majority of the stolen money was handed over to the Chief Envoy of Jiangsu .

The chief envoy is a feudal official, and it turns out that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

This case involved many officials and a huge amount of money. Ji Wujiu immediately ordered officials from the Capital Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to jointly investigate the case. With all the witnesses and material evidence on hand, the case should be relatively clear. The most important thing now is to find out the final flow of the stolen money.

However, as soon as the officials from the capital arrived in Jiangsu, news came that Chai Zhitui, the chief envoy of Jiangsu, had committed suicide out of fear of crime.

Ji Wu Jiu ordered people to search the whole Chai Mansion, but no large sums of money were found. And according to people who know Chai Zhitui well, Mr. Chai usually lives a simple life and has never done anything lavish.

Chai knows how to retreat, Chai knows how to retreat. Ji Wu Jiu carefully recalled the files on officials at all levels in Jiangsu that he had read in the Ministry of Personnel before coming here, and a bright light suddenly flashed in his mind. This Chai Zhitui once served in Prince Zhan Shifu when he was young!

Zhan Shifu is dedicated to serving the prince. The prince from more than twenty years ago was not Ji Wu Jiu, but his uncle, the prince who was deposed by the late emperor! That is Ji Liyou's father!

Chai Zhitui was not conspicuous when he was young, and his position in Zhan Shifu was not high, and there were so many people in Zhan Shifu, so Ji Wu Jiu didn't pay much attention when he saw it.

But looking at it now, there must be something weird in it.

Also, when Bai Jiancheng returned from Liaodong to the south, he started in Jiangsu. When Ji Wu Jiu first saw the file, he was a little surprised. Bai Jiancheng was from Fujian. After being pardoned, he did not return to his hometown. Instead, he ran to Jiangsu and climbed up the ranks from the Inspectorate to the Inspectorate. There must be someone supporting him. Ye Xiuming promoted Bai Jiancheng only later, so Bai Jiancheng was protected and promoted by Chai Zhitui at the beginning.

As for why Chai Zhitui promoted a guilty minister, the answer is already obvious.

Ji Liyou went to Jurchen business in the past few years, met Bai Jiancheng in Liaodong, and roped him in to join his rebellion plan. After that, Bo Jiancheng returned to the Central Plains. Chai Zhidui, as an aide in the rebel gang, trained Bo Jiancheng and sent him to the capital. Bai Jiancheng squeezed into the staff department by relying on his teacher-student relationship with Ye Xiuming.

Ji Liyou was worried, Chai Zhi retreated, and Bai Jiancheng was built. Besides them, who else? According to Ye Xiu Ming's description, Bai Jiancheng is a man who is very good at maneuvering in both directions. Is there anyone else who could be attracted by him? Moreover, Chai Zhitui has been in Jiangsu for more than ten years and has grown up with deep roots. How many subordinates has he trained?

There is no way of knowing this.

So, this case is actually two cases. Corruption cases are easy to trial, but there are too few clues in the rebellion case. The best way is to stay put and investigate carefully in private.

So Ji Wujiu ordered people to **** the corrupt officials back to the capital, and the Chai Mansion was temporarily sealed and no one was allowed to approach them. He also asked the secret guard around him to send a secret order back to the capital to spy Ouchi.

These things are not urgent. The most important thing now is to find Ji Liyou. There was no way anyone could be snoring next to the bed. Although Ji Wu Jiu knew that it would be harder for Ji Liyou to rebel than to reach heaven, he felt extremely uncomfortable with being watched secretly like this all the time.

Chai Zhidui has been operating in Jiangsu for many years and has made so much money. Ji Liyou's hometown must be in Jiangsu.

Ji Liyou's previous plan failed, and he is now likely to retreat to Jiangsu.

In other words, when they came to investigate a corruption case this time, they unexpectedly discovered a major case.

But where is Ji Liyou? How to lure him out?

Ji Wu Jiu felt that if Ji Liyou knew his whereabouts, he would probably come to assassinate him. In times of peace and prosperity, if you want to usurp the throne by raising an army or changing the palace, the success rate is close to zero. But now that the royal family has no children, as long as Ji Wu Jiu is killed, Ji Liyou will be justified.

Assassins are also smart people. Ji Wu Jiu is surrounded by so many secret guards, all of them are top-notch masters. If they continue to charge forward desperately, it will not be an assassination, it will be courting death.

With no choice, Ji Wu Jiu had no choice but to actively create opportunities for the assassins. He asked the secret guards to keep a distance of about a mile from him, and he had a few flares on his body. If there was an emergency, if he sent a signal, the secret guards would naturally rush over as soon as possible.

Ye Zhenzhen was wearing silkworm clothes, which should ensure her safety.

Explaining this matter took a lot of words. Ji Wu Jiu didn't tell Ye Zhen Zhen yet. He just wanted to wait for the matter to be settled and then tell her in one breath. It doesn't matter whether she knows or not, and she can't get involved.

So in the next few days, Ji Wu Jiu and Ye Zhen Zhen wandered around the streets and alleys of Jinling City, eating, drinking and having fun. Ye Zhenzhen likes to listen to the music and singing in the teahouse. Although she doesn't understand it, she finds it very pleasant. She went to listen to a song almost every day. Later, after being introduced by a local, she found out that the song was about the love story between the emperor and the empress Xuannv. Although the libretto talks about **** love, it is quite elegant. One of the lines is "Dew drops on peony heart". Ji Wu Jiu put these words in his mouth and smacked them. The more he chewed them, the more interesting they became. That night he dropped some peonies with great interest, and the next day he drew a fan with the inscription "Dew Drops on Peony Heart" and gave it to Ye Ye. Zhen Zhen. Ye Zhenzhen looked at it, held up a fan and hit him on the head.

That afternoon, Ye Zhenzhen passed by a medical store while shopping and bought some pills that could help men recuperate. The shopkeeper of the medical clinic was a talkative man who spoke fluent Mandarin. He held up the simple little medicine bottle and talked non-stop to Ye Zhenzhen, "Madam, please rest assured that this pill is the exclusive secret of the shop. After ninety-nine years of preparation, It is refined through eighty-one processes. It is a small pill. If you keep it, it will make a man unable to move for at least ten days. No matter what kind of strong man he is, his majesty will be wiped out in front of this medicine. Madam, you are so beautiful that you really need it. Prepare a lot of this medicine just in case you need it..."

Ji Wu Jiu's face turned dark when he heard this, and he started to grab it, but Ye Zhenzhen grabbed it first and put it in his arms, smiling at him, "I'll give it to you when you want to eat it."

Ji Wu Jiu turned from a tiger into a cat in an instant, extremely docile. When talking to Ye Zhen Zhen, he spoke slowly and softly like a little daughter-in-law, "Zhen Zhen, I will keep it for you."

Ye Zhenzhen covered her chest and said with a smile, "I'm afraid you'll eat it secretly."

...How hard it is to think about eating something like this secretly.

The two of them left the hospital, noisily, and it started to rain outside. Thin raindrops flew down diagonally and hit people's faces, giving them a cool feeling. The bluestone floor tiles have been soaked and are undergoing washing. Ji Wu Jiu held up an oil-paper umbrella and walked side by side with Ye Zhen Zhen in the rain.

The umbrella surface is duck yellow, with a bright red plum painted on it. The people under the umbrella are one in white and the other in red skirt. The man is handsome and tall, and the woman is beautiful and exquisite. Standing together, they look like a pair of immortals, not like ordinary people. The two walked along the bluestone road to an arch bridge, attracting the attention of many people along the way.

The stone bridge is built over the Huai River. Standing on the bridge and looking from a distance, you can see the Qinhuai River lying in the fine rain and mist. Under the beating of the rain, a thin layer of green smoke rises from the river surface. The pavilions on both sides of the strait are lined up in rows, and they can't be seen clearly in the mist and rain, as if they are separated by a thin layer of gauze.

Ye Zhen Zhen took Ji Wu Jiu’s hand and said, “Let’s go swimming on the river.”

"Okay." He seemed to have been saying yes to her suggestion.

Jinling is a prosperous ancient capital, and the rental of boats along the Qinhuai River has become an industry. Not only can you rent boats, but you can also rent people. How wonderful it would be for a romantic and lonely young man to rent a confidante, go boating on the river, drink and talk.

Ji Wu Jiu rejected the confidante who was highly recommended by his boss and only rented a boat without even using a boatman. He helped Ye Zhenzhen onto the boat, then picked up the oar and started rowing. For some unspeakable purpose, Ji Wu Jiu had learned to row, so the two of them swam the boat smoothly to the middle of the river. After that, Ji Wu Jiu threw away the oar and came to the end of the boat to look for Ye Zhen. Zhen.

Because the boat is relatively large, two people standing at the same end don’t have to worry about it capsizing.

Ye Zhenzhen was standing on the bow of the boat looking at the scenery. The Qinhuai River seen from the bridge is different from the one seen by Zhan from the boat. Standing on the bridge, you feel like you are looking at a painting, while standing on the boat, you feel like you are in the painting.

The fine rain and mist on the canvas are within reach, and the green smoke rising from the river is right at your feet. The pavilions on both sides of the strait can be seen more clearly because they are closer.

She held the umbrella with one hand, and stretched out the other hand outside the umbrella, palm upward, to catch the soft raindrops.

Rain and mist, oil-paper umbrella, beauty in red. Ye Zhenzhen only knew that she was standing in the painting, but she did not know that she was a painting in her own right.

Ji Wu Jiu looked at her back and his heart skipped a beat. The two have been close for a year, intimate and familiar with each other, but every time he sees her so beautiful, he still feels his heart beat faster. It's like a young boy trying love for the first time.

He walked over, hugged her from behind, lowered his head and kissed the black hair on her temples.

"It's so beautiful." Ye Zhenzhen murmured.

“Yes, it’s so beautiful.” Ji Wu Jiu agreed. He nibbled her earlobe, his hands went up her waist, stopping on her chest and rubbing it slowly.

Ye Zhenzhen: "..." How could he think of doing that kind of thing at such a poetic time.

Of course, for Ji Wu Jiu, such a beautiful atmosphere is really suitable for doing something equally beautiful, otherwise it would be a waste. He turned over Ye Zhenzhen's body and kissed her, blocking out her rejection.

Ye Zhen Zhen wanted to resist at first, but she was quickly kissed by Ji Wu Jiu and lost all strength. Her body was softened by his rubbing, so that she accidentally let go of her hand and the beautiful oil-paper umbrella fell inside. In the river, drifting away on the surface of the river.

In the light blue rain and mist, the two of them hugged each other and lingered. The drizzle was hitting them, and they both seemed unconscious.

Until Ye Zhenzhen was kissed until she was breathless. She raised her hand to wipe her forehead. Her hair had been soaked by the rain and stuck to her forehead. She struggled and said, "You're not just planning to be here..." are you?

Ji Wu Jiu gasped and smiled, "Although I'm looking forward to it, I will never let you be seen by others." After saying that, he pulled her into the boat.

On the distant river bank, several figures slowly sank into the water, swimming silently like fish.
