Chapter 716 Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger
However, Censor Jiang is so bold that he even dares to do such a thing as robbing private houses.
Even if the victim was not General Bai but someone else, they would have dealt with it themselves.
"Go and call Censor Jiang for me." Yan Li looked at the chief guard standing beside him.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The leader of the guards took the order and went down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." General Bai looked at Yan Li gratefully.
"If Censor Jiang really did something like robbing private houses, I would punish him even if it wasn't you," Yan Li replied.
General Bai fell silent after hearing this!
He knew that he had insisted on abandoning Yan Li, who had just succeeded to the throne, and returning to the countryside, and he would never be able to get over this hurdle.
So General Bai stayed quietly aside, waiting for the chief guard to bring Censor Jiang over.
……
Half an hour later, Censor Jiang was brought here by the chief guard.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Censor Jiang knelt in front of Yan Li.
"Imperial Censor Jiang, do you know why I called you here?" Yan Li looked at Imperial Censor Jiang who was kneeling on the ground.
Censor Jiang was very shocked when he heard this!
After all, since the Emperor returned, he has rarely handled government affairs personally, and it was all handled by King Bingjian.
Now someone suddenly sent someone to call me over...
He was suddenly shocked when he saw General Bai standing beside him...
Wasn't it said that General Bai had a very unpleasant argument with her over the issue of retiring from the army?
Why would I meet him again?
At this time, Censor Jiang was a little panicked!
"Do you know now?" Yan Li looked at Censor Jiang.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Those were all foolish things my son did." Censor Jiang knew that General Bai had reported the matter to Yan Li, so it was useless for him to argue.
"Did your son do this?" Yan Li looked at him.
"Yes, I have severely punished him after I found out." Censor Jiang lowered his head.
"A lesson? How can a lesson be enough for robbing private houses in my capital city?" Yan Li's tone suddenly became cold.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Censor Jiang lowered his head and trembled all over.
"Imperial Censor Jiang has three sons. Which one did this?" Yan Li looked at Imperial Censor Jiang.
"This..." Censor Jiang's face was filled with doubt and confusion.
"Speak." Yan Li shouted coldly.
"It's my second son." Censor Jiang spoke after some mental struggle.
Yan Li knew at a glance that Censor Jiang was struggling over which son to let take the blame.
It seems that his second son is the one he loves the least.
"Go and bring the second young master Jiang here." Yan Li ordered.
Upon hearing this, a trace of pain flashed across Censor Jiang's face.
"General Bai, what do you think about this matter?" Yan Li looked at General Bai standing aside.
"In reply to your Majesty, it was indeed a young man who led people to rob my house." General Bai replied.
"I understand." Yan Li nodded.
……
While Yan Li and the others were waiting, the chief guard came in with a gentle and elegant young man.
"Jiang Hun pays his respects to the Emperor." The young man knelt down and saluted Yan Li.
"Are you the second young master of the Jiang family?" Yan Li looked at him.
"Yes." Jiang Hun nodded.
He was very confused about the fact that Yan Li suddenly sent someone to bring him here.
After all, he was absorbed in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and didn't care about anything in the outside world.
"It was you who led people to rob General Bai's house?" Yan Li looked at him.
"Robbed General Bai's house? No." Jiang Hun was still confused.
"You rebellious son, you still dare to quibble now that you are in front of the Emperor." Censor Jiang looked at him viciously.
It's obvious that they want to force him to confess!
"No, Dad. I'm totally focused on poetry, calligraphy and painting. I'm not interested in the house." Jiang Hun didn't understand why his father insisted on taking responsibility for something he didn't do.
"Rebellious son, confess your guilt now." Censor Jiang was anxious.
"It's not me. What crime should I confess? Others don't understand me, but don't you, Dad, understand me?" Jiang Hun argued.
Yan Li saw that Jiang Hun was surrounded by spiritual energy, and it was obvious that he was quite powerful.
It seems that this is a guy who is pretending to be a pig but is actually trying to eat the tiger.
"Rebellious son, rebellious son, you are so bold." Censor Jiang kept winking at Jiang Hun.
"I see. A few days ago, my elder brother came to show off to me that he had bought a new house which was very grand. Could it be..." Jiang Hun looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
Don't even think about letting himself take the blame for his beloved son.
"General Bai, take a closer look. Is he the one who led people to rob the house?" Yan Li looked at General Bai standing aside.
"It's not him. Although that man is somewhat similar to him, he is not as weak as him." General Bai shook his head.
"No way, could it be that eldest brother stole General Bai's new house? What a sin, what a sin, as soon as General Bai retired from the army, all the old people stole it." Jiang Hun exclaimed upon hearing this.
Yan Li: ...
This guy is indeed a pig pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
I just don’t know whether it is good or evil?
"Bring in the other two young masters of the Jiang family." Yan Li ordered the leader of the guards.
Before that, I had secretly instructed the chief guard to bring the three young masters of the Jiang family here.
Upon hearing this, Censor Jiang collapsed to the ground.
Finished!
It's all over!
When the chief guard brought in the other two young masters of the Jiang family, they knelt on the ground trembling.
They don't have Jiang Hun's grace and elegance.
"General Bai, identify yourself and tell me who led people to rob your house." Yan Li looked at General Bai.
"Your Majesty, it's him, it's him. He also crippled the leg of the housekeeper of my house." General Bai said, pointing at the eldest son of the Jiang family.
"No, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it." Upon hearing this, the eldest son of the Jiang family trembled even more violently.
"It's really big brother. How could big brother do such a thing?" Jiang Hun looked incredulous.
"Imperial Censor Jiang, didn't you say you had already taught him a lesson? It seems you taught the wrong person a lesson." Yan Li looked at Imperial Censor Jiang coldly.
"I was confused." Censor Jiang knelt down again.
"I am indeed confused, Censor Jiang. I don't think you are suitable to be the censor anymore." Yan Li's words made Censor Jiang look ashen.
"As for Young Master Jiang, since you broke someone's leg, you must pay with your own leg. Return the house to General Bai immediately, and kowtow to General Bai to apologize." Yan Li spoke again.
Just like that, Censor Jiang was dismissed from office, and Young Master Jiang had one leg broken and was carried back after he kowtowed to General Bai to apologize.
Yan Li looked at Jiang Hun's leaving back and thought to herself: The stage has been set for you, it all depends on how you perform this play, you are the tiger hiding under the pig's skin.
Yan Li is ready to watch the show!
"General Bai, are you satisfied with my approach?" Yan Li looked at General Bai who had not left yet.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for upholding justice for this old minister." General Bai knelt down to thank Yan Li.
"It's so tiring to deal with things every day." After General Bai left, Yan Li stretched and muttered.
