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

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat tense.

"Your Majesty has ordered that if Envoy Jiang is unwilling to enter the capital, then don't worry about our Thousand Cavalry Division's rudeness."

Zhang Huan said, with a hint of threat in his words.

Before this, Chen Qingyun had already anticipated that Jiang Zuo would not return to Beijing, so he informed the Qianqi Division in advance that if Jiang Zuo refused to enter Beijing, he would be forcibly abducted back.

There are all kinds of rumors in the capital now, saying that Jiang Zuo is preparing for treason, which makes Chen Qingyun feel extremely nervous.

If Chen Qingyun didn't see Jiang Zuo with his own eyes now, he would not be at ease at all.

Jiang Zuo frowned, his voice just as cold: "If I don't go back, are you going to tie me up and take me back like this?"

In his heart, he had already cursed the empress a thousand times.

"This damn woman is always indecisive. Every time she asks me to do something, she suddenly stops trusting me..." Jiang Zuo was extremely unhappy.

"I'm sorry, Inspector Jiang, we are going to take action."

As Zhang Huan spoke, he turned around and ordered the Qianqisi behind him to move forward together.

"Tell the emperor that if you force me to go back, I will die in the State of Chen."

Jiang Zuo threatened to die and refused to give in at all.

Jiang Zuo concluded that the empress in the court would never punish him. If she really wanted to punish him, she would not have given him such an important task.

"Could it be that I was doing business in Chen State recently and was discovered by the Empress?"

Jiang Zuo guessed.

No wonder I always felt that someone was secretly monitoring me recently. It turned out that it was not just people from the State of Chen. The empress still doubted his loyalty to Jiang Zuo.

Forget it. If I return to the capital now, all my efforts will be wasted.

"Inspector Jiang, why are you doing this?"

Zhang Huan sighed helplessly.

At this moment, Master Guo, who was standing behind Jiang Zuo, looked a little nervous. He came forward and whispered in Jiang Zuo's ear, "Sir, why don't you give in first? Maybe the emperor has important matters to attend to when he returns to the capital. I am here to watch over you. If anything happens, I will inform you immediately."

Master Guo didn't want Jiang Zuo to really confront the Thousand Cavalry Division head-on, and Master Guo knew that Jiang Zuo's character was extremely stubborn and he was not afraid of the Thousand Cavalry Division at all.

Difficult to do...

Jiang Zuo shook his head and said to the group of Qianqisi: "Tell the emperor that if he wants to take me back by force, he can only take my body with him."

"Then don't worry, I'm welcome."

Zhang Huan completely ignored Jiang Zuo.

The atmosphere is tense at the moment and a conflict may break out at any time.

At this time, the Qianqisi behind Zhang Huan were ready to draw their swords.

"stop!"

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting behind me.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that the person coming was Situ Hua.

The appearance of Szeto Wah immediately eased the tense situation.

"Meet the deputy commander."

The group of Thousand Cavalry Division guards leaned forward and said.

Situ Hua is the deputy general of the Thousand Cavalry Division in the capital, and his status is not low.

"What do you want to do?"

Situ Hua said in a low voice.

"We are under the order of the Emperor to escort Envoy Jiang back to the capital."

Zhang Huan answered truthfully.

"Since Patrol Officer Jiang is unwilling to leave, then don't force him."

Szeto Wah said.

Hearing this, the Thousand Cavalry Officers all looked surprised.

In their impression, Szeto Wah is a serious and old-fashioned person. How could he protect Jiang Zuo now?

Could it be that Situ Hua also has some relationship with Jiang Zuo?

They guessed secretly.

"Deputy General, this is the emperor's order."

Zhang Huan's eyes were solemn.

Situ Hua nodded and said in a deep voice, "I know. Just go back and tell the emperor that everything is fine here."

"The emperor has issued a death order. No matter what, we must see Inspector Jiang in person."

Zhang Huan said again, with no intention of backing down at all.

Situ Hua stood in front of Jiang Zuo, staring at Zhang Huan with sharp eyes, and said, "Envoy Jiang really has important things to do and cannot leave. You just report the truth to the emperor. I believe the emperor will never blame you."

Situ Hua actually already knew the relationship between the emperor and Jiang Zuo. After all, he had stayed in Anding County for quite some time, so he had guessed it anyway.

"Are you all going to disobey the Emperor's orders?"

Zhang Huan's hand silently placed on the hilt of the knife.

The emperor had said before that even if Jiang Zuo resisted, he would be forcibly brought back.

"I have absolutely no intention of disobeying the emperor. It's just that the emperor is far away in the capital and doesn't know what the situation is here. Please don't believe the rumors. Jiang Xunshi is dedicated to the country. Go back and tell His Majesty the truth. We have a big matter to deal with."

"Deputy General, are you planning to rebel together with Patrol Envoy Jiang?"

In Zhang Huan's view, disobeying the emperor's will is tantamount to committing the crime of treason.

"I will bear all the consequences. If you want to take action, it's not certain who will control whom with just a few of you."

Szeto Wah spoke majestically.

Looking at Situ Hua's tall back, even Jiang Zuo felt a little surprised.

He had never expected that this once rigid Qianqisi would now stand on his Jiang Zuo's side.

This is not surprising, after all, Situ Hua was on the front line and knew Jiang Zuo's plan.

If Jiang Zuo returns to the capital now, the plan will be greatly delayed.

After all, there was a woman in the other room.

That extremely important woman seemed to only trust Jiang Zuo.

If they really wanted to fight at this moment, Zhang Huan and his men would definitely not be able to defeat Situ Hua.

Zhang Huan could only retreat helplessly and turned around and said, "Deputy General, you'd better take care of yourself. The emperor will know everything."

Szeto Wah was not worried.

Although the empress had a cruel personality, after spending a long time with her, Situ Hua already knew that her majesty's personality had changed a little.

The emperor will never punish Jiang Zuo.

Szeto Wah guessed in his mind.

Feeling somewhat uneasy, Zhang Huan led his men and rushed back to the capital.

In the imperial city.

In the imperial study, Chen Qingyun was reviewing memorials while anxiously waiting for news from the State of Chen.

There are now more and more memorials impeaching Jiang Zuo.

Chen Qingyun had a terrible headache.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Huan requests an audience."

Someone came to report.

"Let him in."

Chen Qingyun suddenly stood up.

After waiting for several days, there was finally news.

A moment later, Zhang Huan walked in alone.

"Where's Jiang Zuo?"

Chen Qingyun asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, the Jiang Patrol Envoy refuses to enter the capital."

Zhang Huan reported the matter truthfully.

Chen Qingyun's eyes flashed with anger: "I said before that if Jiang Zuo resists, we will arrest him directly. Are you all useless people in the Qianqi Division? You can't even bring back Jiang Zuo?"

The Thousand Cavalry Division guard quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it was Situ Hua who stopped me and said that he would bear all the consequences."

"Szeto Wah stopped you?"

Chen Qingyun was shocked.

Situ Hua is also one of the Thousand Cavalry Officers the Empress trusts the most, but even he has to disobey the Emperor's orders.

"What exactly is going on?"

Oh no, could it be that even Situ Hua has been instigated by Jiang Zuo to rebel?
