Chapter 252 1 No refund!
"Ninth Prince? You are actually the Ninth Prince!"
Jiang Zuo pretended to be surprised, his acting skills exploded, and he knelt down and said, "Greetings to the Ninth Prince!"
Seeing this situation, Zhang Huan's expression flashed with some doubt. It turned out that Jiang Zuo didn't know the identity of the Ninth Prince?
Chen Xiu's expression was a little more awkward. He calmed down the tension in his heart and said, "No need to be polite."
Jiang Zuo said seriously, "If I have offended Your Majesty before, please forgive me."
"It's okay. I concealed my identity from you before. I hope you don't mind."
Chen Xiu said.
After hearing this, Jiang Zuo slowly stood up.
"What is your name for this gentleman?"
Jiang Zuo turned and said to the Thousand Cavalry Officer from the Capital.
Zhang Huan replied, "I am the deputy commander of the Thousand Cavalry Division of the Capital City. I am Zhang Huan."
"Excuse me, Master Zhang, what is the important matter that brought you here this time?"
Jiang Zuo asked politely.
"The Emperor's Oral Order."
Zhang Huan's voice was low.
When they heard the word "Emperor", Chen Xiu and Jiang Zuo's faces flashed with panic, and they knelt down quickly to receive the order.
Since Qianqisi could come to the brothel to find them personally, there must be something big going on.
At this moment, Chen Xiu even felt a little guilty.
He couldn't imagine that if the emperor knew that the two of them were so negligent and had time to visit a brothel when they had important tasks to do, he would definitely blame them severely.
Chen Xiu was really ashamed.
At this time, Zhang Huan said: "The Emperor is aware of what Envoy Jiang and the Ninth Prince have done recently..."
When he heard these words, Chen Xiu's heart, which had been hanging in the air, completely died.
No wonder he always felt that someone was secretly observing him in the past few days. It turned out to be the Thousand Cavalry Division of the Capital.
Before Zhang Huan finished speaking, Jiang Zuo responded excitedly: "Your Majesty, all of this is my fault and has nothing to do with the Ninth Prince! Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Chen Xiu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Jiang Zuo was so loyal. After all, it was Jiang Zuo who brought him to Xinghualou this time.
It’s all Jiang Zuo’s fault.
But on second thought, the next few times he came, Chen Xiu came on his own initiative and no one forced him.
"In reply to the emperor, I am also responsible for this mistake. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Chen Xiu also said this, with a hint of guilt in his words.
Zhang Huan glanced at the two of them and said, "Your Majesty's intention is that if Envoy Jiang makes trouble again, he will be brought to the capital to be punished."
"Going to Beijing?"
This punishment was undoubtedly very cruel for Jiang Zuo.
The development of Jiangzhou City has just started, and Jiang Zuo doesn't want to leave.
Thinking of the empress's moodiness, Jiang Zuo was really afraid of being forcibly escorted back to the capital.
Jiang Zuo quickly pretended to be very guilty and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will definitely change my mistakes and will not do it again! From now on, I will serve your majesty with all my heart and soul!"
Every time Jiang Zuo responded to the emperor, he used these sentence patterns without any modification.
At this moment, the Ninth Prince's expression was still solemn.
But there didn't seem to be any intention of the emperor to blame Chen Xiu in his words.
Since taking on this important task, Chen Xiu's biggest worry has been disappointing His Majesty.
Hearing the emperor say this, Chen Xiu felt a little relieved.
It was Jiang Zuo who took on all of this...
"I wonder if the emperor has any other instructions?"
Jiang Zuo asked again.
Zhang Huan said: "Your Majesty is very concerned about how the plan to attack the State of Chen is going?"
Jiang Zuo said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that there will be results within two months. If there is any important progress, I will report it to Your Majesty as soon as possible."
Jiang Zuo said these words thousands of times in his letters.
At this time, the Ninth Prince also said: "Please tell the emperor that I have no intention of being negligent. I will always be loyal and responsible and will not let the emperor down."
"Everything you two said will be conveyed to Your Majesty verbatim, please rest assured."
Zhang Huan said in a low voice.
Jiang Zuo asked: "Sir Zhang, do you want to go back to Beijing again?"
Zhang Huan said: "Yes, what instructions does Inspector Jiang have?"
"Please wait for a moment, Master Zhang. I have a letter here. Please deliver it to the emperor personally."
Jiang Zuo said that he had reported the latest situation as usual yesterday, but had not sent it out.
Zhang Huan said: "Of course there is no problem."
"Your Majesty, I didn't know your identity before. Please forgive me if I have offended you."
Jiang Zuo turned his head again and spoke respectfully.
It's so funny. In fact, I already knew that Chen Xiu was a prince.
Only Chen Xiu was still in the dark and had no idea.
Chen Xiu waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, after all, he was the one who deceived Jiang Zuo first.
As long as Jiang Zuo forgets about what happened in the past few days, Chen Xiu won’t mind too much.
"Since Jiang Zuo already knows my identity, can you return the 100,000 taels to me?"
Chen Xiu said, still thinking about the 100,000 taels.
Chen Xiu no longer had to worry about what Jiang Zuo had done before, but the 100,000 taels was not a small amount, so naturally he had to take it back.
Previously, I was willing to give the 100,000 taels just to test Jiang Zuo. Anyway, there is no need to test him now, and we should be honest with each other.
After hearing these words, Jiang Zuo, who was originally smiling, suddenly frowned.
He actually wanted to take back the money he had handed over to Jiang Zuo.
There is absolutely no possibility of this.
Everyone knows that Jiang Zuo’s principle is that once money passes through his hands, it will not be returned.
"I'm sorry, Master Jiu, your 100,000 taels are an investment in Jiangzhou City. They have been converted into shares and cannot be returned to you immediately unless you find a buyer and sell the shares to someone else."
How could Jiang Zuo easily return the money to Chen Xiu?
"What you mean is... you won't return it?"
Chen Xiu looked displeased.
Jiang Zuo said: "Master Jiu, for the time being, I cannot return the 100,000 to you, but don't worry, in a few months, your investment in real estate will generate a good return."
But Chen Xiu didn't buy it, and he didn't believe that the so-called real estate in Jiangzuo would make money. He said unhappily: "Whether you make money or not, you still have to return my money."
Jiang Zuo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you and I signed a contract, you can't break it."
"Captain Zhang, please give us your opinion!"
Hearing that Jiang Zuo was such a scoundrel, Chen Xiu became anxious.
Zhang Huan had no idea what they were talking about, let alone judge the situation.
"I wonder what the conflict is between the two of you? Does Inspector Jiang owe the Ninth Prince money?"
Zhang Huan asked.
"Yes, a full 100,000 taels!"
Chen Xiu became more and more excited as he spoke.
He had already had a good impression of Jiang Zuo, but he didn't expect this guy to be so greedy that he dared to make money from him, the Ninth Prince.
"As many as one hundred thousand?"
Even Zhang Huan frowned.
You must know that the Ninth Prince and Jiang Zuo are the two commanders of this southern expedition. If there is any conflict between them, it will ruin the whole plan.
Zhang Huan said quickly, "Don't have any conflict between the two of you. Stay calm and wait for me to tell the emperor about this matter and let him make the decision. How about that?"
Chen Xiu naturally nodded and said, "Then please ask Can Ling Zhang to return to Beijing as soon as possible."
At this moment, Jiang Zuo's face turned dark.
If the empress knew that he had asked the Ninth Prince for 100,000 taels, she would definitely favor the Ninth Prince...
