Chapter 1584: Rebellion Chapter 1584: Rebellion His many years of experience told him that this matter was definitely not so simple.
Jiang Shangcheng was an old fox.
Otherwise, even with the support of Emperor Xia, he would not have been able to sit firmly in the position of Minister of Personnel.
His expression did not change.
With a cold face, he continued to ask,” And then?”
Xue Bo suddenly knelt down on one knee and lowered his head, looking like he was going to accept the punishment.
Jiang Shangcheng had a bad feeling that things were developing in an unknown direction.
The butler’s voice was filled with helplessness, but there was no other way.” Time was of the essence.
…
Xue Bo didn’t have time to come back and ask for instructions.
Once the item fell into Xia Hou’s hands, you would be finished, Master.
He was anxious to protect his master and rushed to the Su residence, wanting to snatch the item as soon as possible.
When he got there, he found out that Su Wen Zhang had already left in a carriage, and his target was the Vermillion Bird Lane.
He could only chase after him.
Finally, he caught up with him on the North-South Avenue and silenced him with lightning speed.
Then, he snatched the evidence of his crime.
Time was of the essence.
The people from the Fifth Division of City Defense were about to arrive.
I didn’t have time to deal with the corpse, so I could only erase the traces and leave.”
He took out a voice recording stone and handed it over.
Jiang Shangcheng was expressionless.
Even if one looked at his eyes, one could not guess what he was thinking.
He looked at the thing in his hand and was about to speak when he coughed violently.
“Cough, cough…!”
The butler rushed forward and patted his back.” Master, are you alright?” he asked with concern.
After a while.
Jiang Shangcheng stopped coughing and shook his head.
He ordered.
“Open it.”
“Yes, sir!” Xue Bo injected a bit of primeval essence into it.
The image showed the scene from back then.
Jiang Shangcheng’s expression was still the same.
His heart was cold.
He really didn’t expect that his respected teacher would hold back until now.
At the same time, it was very cold.
If this thing was exposed, the lethality would be very great.
It could be foreseen that everything he had now would be lost.
Even though he was furious and angry that Mo Yu was despicable, he had already died for several years.
Even if he wanted to take revenge, he had no way.
He was very calm.
Anger could not solve the problem when something big happened.
Only by calming down could he think of a solution.
There was another point, which was also the most important.
Other than himself, he would not trust anyone else.
This was the key to climbing to where he was today.
He hid it very well, and no one knew.
He frowned and said,” If this old man falls and the position of Minister of Personnel is vacant, Zhou Yifan might have just jumped in, but he is a veteran Second Rank.
He has enough experience and is also His Majesty’s man.
He should be the one to take over.
Qin Wenhai is not responsible and cannot take on the important position.
He might be promoted to the left assistant minister and vacate the right assistant minister position.
Would His Majesty agree to let Su Wenzhang take over?”
“This old servant doesn’t know either!” The butler shook his head.
” However, with Xia Hou’s methods, there might be a way to make His Majesty compromise and allow Su Wenzhang to take another step forward.”
“I can’t rule out this possibility,” said Jiang Shangcheng.
“What should we do now, Master?”The butler asked anxiously.
“Are you sure you didn’t leave any evidence?” Jiang Shangcheng asked as he looked at Xue Bo.
“Don’t worry, there are absolutely no clues left behind!”
Jiang Shangcheng reached out his palm and rubbed his temples.
He was so confused that he felt like his head was about to explode.
He knew Zhang Ronghua well, including the last time they met.
If he hadn’t provoked him, he wouldn’t have taken the initiative to attack him.
However, it happened.
Su Wenzhang died at Xue Bo’s hands.
He and the butler had followed him for many years and had never made a mistake.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for them to betray him.
However, Su Wenzhang died very quickly.
He acted first and reported later, roasting himself on the fire.
There was no way out.
He forced himself to confront Zhang Ronghua.
Even if there was a reason, there was still suspicion.
This was something that he kept hidden in his heart and did not say out loud.
“Secretly investigate the Mo family and find out the cause and effect,” he ordered.
“Yes, sir!” the butler replied.
” Prepare the medicine according to Xia Hou’s prescription.”
“Master, you…!”The butler was puzzled.
Jiang Shangcheng waved his hand to interrupt him.
His eyes were firm.” We can’t care so much.
If we delay any longer, things will get worse.
We have to return to the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs as soon as possible.”
“His Majesty?”
“I will explain myself!”
Jiang Shangcheng patted Xue Bo’s shoulder and said,” Well done.
When this matter is over, you’ll be rewarded.”
“Your kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain.
Even if there is a mountain of blades and a sea of flames in front of me, I will still block them.”
“Go!” Jiang Shangcheng was very satisfied.
The two of them took their leave.
Soon, Madam Jiang returned, closed the door, and entered the bedroom.
Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Shangcheng gestured to stop her and explained the matter using sign language.
Madam Jiang was not a simple woman.
She came from a prestigious family and was very capable.
To the public, she was just an ordinary woman, but she controlled a force in the dark.
Jiang Shangcheng had been in the officialdom for so many years.
How could he not understand the principle of not putting all eggs in one basket?
No one would have thought that the rules of the Jiang family were set here.
Women were not allowed to participate in big and small matters, and they were born with great confusion.
He told her about his suspicions about the butler and Xue Bo and asked her to secretly investigate the Mo family and the Su residence.
If nothing went wrong, the Mo family would be finished by the time the voice recording stone appeared.
The person who attacked would not let them live.
“Is it really not Xia Hou’s doing?” Madame Jiang asked with a hand gesture.
” He knows what he’s doing.
He has never broken the rules of the Hall of Scholars until now unless you provoke him first.
For example, Changqing Academy used the excuse of an official assessment to kill someone.
If you really want to do it openly, you have to admire him even if you’re from different factions.”
