I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

It seemed that this group of Thousand Cavalrymen were about to approach and take Jiang Zuo away by torture.

"Wait a minute."

Jiang Zuo suddenly said.

"What else do you have to say?"

Yan Kang's face was full of wrinkles, showing a hint of anxiety.

He wished that the Thousand Cavalry Commander could convict Jiang Zuo immediately and escort this man to the capital for questioning. Only in this way could the Six Garrison Army under his command, Yan Kang, be safe.

Jiang Zuo was not panicked at all at this moment. Instead, he smiled and said, "Governor Yan, we originally agreed to rebel together. How could you report me in front of the Thousand Cavalry Division? Are you going to betray us?"

"What are you talking about?"

Yan Kang frowned.

"I mean, Governor Yan conspired with me to rebel, but suddenly turned against me and reported me. How hateful!"

Jiang Zuo suddenly shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Yan Kang immediately became anxious: "Are you crazy? Who is plotting a rebellion with you? If you want to die, don't drag me down with you."

Jiang Zuo sighed: "Since you, Governor Yan, are so ruthless, then don't worry about me and let the fish die and the net be broken."

Listening to their conversation, Situ Hua still had a gloomy expression on his face, and he had no idea what Jiang Zuo wanted to say.

"He's full of nonsense. Stop talking to him."

Yan Kang was already furious and did not give Jiang Zuo any chance to argue.

"I'm not talking nonsense. Isn't there a letter to prove it?"

Jiang Zuo raised the corners of his mouth and looked straight into Yan Kang's eyes.

Situ Hua still had a serious expression: "Master Jiang, this is what you wrote to the Ninth Prince, not to Governor Yan."

"Didn't Governor Yan receive the secret letter I sent?"

Jiang Zuo asked.

"Nonsense, this Governor has no connection with you at all, let alone conspiring with you to rebel."

Yan Kang snorted and didn't want to pay any attention to Jiang Zuo at all.

Jiang Zuo said: "Then I have had little interaction with the Ninth Prince, so why would Governor Yan slander me like this?"

"Someone gave this secret letter to this Governor, but this Governor did not intend to report you."

Yan Kang said, it was true.

"Master Guo." Jiang Zuo suddenly shouted towards the inner hall.

After a while, Master Guo came out and asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"

"Where is the secret letter that I asked you to deliver to Governor Yan? Why did Governor Yan say he didn't receive it?"

Jiang Zuo asked.

Master Guo said, "Sir, I will go back and look for her now."

"What on earth are you going to do?"

Yan Kang no longer has any patience.

But Situ Hua was unusually calm. He watched Jiang Zuo's every word and action, his sharp eyes always staring at Jiang Zuo's expression.

"He is so calm and composed, and doesn't look like he has been exposed for treason." Situ Hua said secretly in his heart.

After a while, Master Guo took out a letter from the inner hall and said, "My lord, this is terrible. It turns out that I forgot to send this letter."

As he spoke, Master Guo handed the letter to Jiang Zuo.

Jiang Zuo sighed and said, "Fortunately, it has not been sent out yet, otherwise you, the treacherous Yan Kang, would have set me up."

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Yan Kang said angrily.

"See for yourselves."

Jiang Zuo handed the letter over.

Szeto Wah took it in his hand, opened it and saw this written on it.

"To Governor Yan Kang, the rebellion will be launched on the first day of the first lunar month. Please make preparations - Jiangzuo."

Several key words are clearly written in this letter.

Yan Kang raised an army to rebel and took over Jiangzuo.

Moreover, the handwriting of these two letters is almost exactly the same.

Szeto Wah frowned, totally confused about the situation.

Jiang Zuo was talking to them just now, he couldn't have written a letter immediately, could it be that he had anticipated this?

Yan Kang leaned forward to take a look and saw that it was indeed a letter of treason with his name on it.

"This……"

Yan Kang was stunned.

"Governor, you must not betray your friends. We agreed to rebel together, so why did you betray me?"

There were bursts of complaints in Jiang Zuo's words.

"You're talking nonsense! This letter was obviously forged. The ink isn't even dry yet!"

Yan Kang quickly retorted.

"Governor Yan, you also know it's a forgery?" Jiang Zuo said with a smile, "Governor Yan, if you convict me of a crime based on a so-called treason letter, that would be too much of a joke."

"No matter how you argue, hiding weapons and selling Yan's supplies to the people of Mobei is a capital crime."

Yan Kang realized that the letter of treason had been a mistake, so he quickly changed the subject and brought up the old matter again.

"Your Majesty has not convicted me of hiding weapons and armor. Why are you so anxious, Yan Kang? Do you really want me to die? Or are you being instigated or coerced by someone?"

Jiang Zuo questioned, staring straight into Yan Kang's eyes.

Yan Kang's body was shocked and he was suddenly speechless.

Szeto Wah remained silent, looking at the two letters with the same handwriting, not knowing how to make a decision.

The problem now facing Szeto Wah is whether or not to arrest Jiang Zuo.

This issue is left to your majesty to decide.

"Master Jiang, the Qianqi Division needs to conduct another thorough investigation. You will stay at the yamen these days and cannot go anywhere."

Situ Hua said with a dignified look.

Although his official position was much lower than Jiangzuo's, his status as the Thousand Cavalry Commander alone was enough to command Jiangzuo and Yan Kang.

Executing first and reporting later is a special permission granted by the emperor, but the circumstances this time are special and Situ Hua did not dare to make a decision on his own.

"Governor Yan, please follow me."

After Situ Hua finished speaking, he took the rest of the people away and ordered the other guards to surround the Anding Yamen.

Jiang Zuo nodded silently without saying anything.

The current situation is the best outcome.

Jiang Zuo was certain that the Qianqi Division would not do anything to him, because he, Jiang Zuo, had no intention of rebelling at all. The only thing that made people puzzled was why Yan Kang wanted to slander him?

"Sir, what should we do now?"

Master Guo seemed a little flustered.

Just now in the inner hall, fortunately I understood Jiang Zuo's hint and imitated the secret letter. Otherwise, Jiang Zuo might have no way to defend himself.

"Don't worry, Qianqisi will investigate it thoroughly."

Jiang Zuo was not nervous.

"Just stay in the government office quietly, there will be a way."

The county magistrate's residence.

Chen Qingyun had just returned from outside and searched the mansion, but could not find Jiang Zuo.

Just as she was about to go out, she received a piece of news that shocked her: "Your Majesty, the Governor of the Six Garrisons, Yan Kang, reported Jiang Zuo, saying that Jiang Zuo was conspiring to rebel with the Ninth Prince!"

Jiang Zuo and the Ninth Prince are plotting a rebellion?

Upon hearing the news, Chen Qingyun was not angry at all. Instead, he sneered.

These two people are Chen Qingyun's most trusted confidants. Do you think they are plotting a rebellion?

Could it be that this old fellow Yan Kang, the governor of the Six Garrisons, is prejudiced against Jiangzuo?

Since coming to Anding County, Chen Qingyun's suspicious character has quietly undergone some changes.

This kind of mutual reporting among officials could no longer anger Chen Qingyun.

At this moment, the empress really wanted to know why Yan Kang slandered Jiangzuo so much.

If you say that Jiang Zuo is greedy and lustful, the empress might believe it.

But if you say he is plotting rebellion.

Ha ha……

This is absolutely impossible!
