Song Huizong didn't know their little thoughts, and nodded with relief: "Okay! It's rare that you are so thoughtful, I am sure about this!"

"Thank you, officials!"

Liang Shicheng and Tan Zhen were full of joy.

They believe that as long as they get the credit, the Xiang Imperial Army under their command will be saved.

But they didn't know that Jiang Chen had no interest in the trashy Xiang Imperial Army in Bianjing at all. Instead, he was interested in the ordinary Xiang soldiers who were despised by Tan Zhen and others.

After acknowledging her marriage yesterday, Zhang Shangying confided her many years of experience as an official to Jiang Chen.

This made Jiang Chen see clearly many things that he couldn't understand before, and he was no longer so optimistic about temporary success or failure.

As long as it does not affect his primary plan to get rid of Tan Zhen and Liang Shicheng, he can give up some insignificant rights and interests, including the secret recipe for fried tea.

This is what is called being strong without desire!

But Nie Shan suddenly pointed the finger at the royal family, which made him wary.

He was afraid that someone would plot against him and put him on the fire, so after the small court meeting was over, Jiang Chen immediately caught up with Nie Shan and asked with a smile:

"Nie Fuyin, I saw that you seemed to have some unfinished meaning in your words just now. Could it be that the murderer has been identified?"

Nie Shan looked around, and after pulling Jiang Chen for a few steps, he said apologetically: "Liangchen, I didn't hide it from you on purpose, but because the matter is serious, I can't talk about it easily without confirming evidence."

While talking, he took out a file from his sleeve and handed it over: "You will understand after you read it yourself!"

Jiang Chen stared at Nie Shan's eyes carefully for a few seconds before taking the file and flipping through it.

He was the one who initiated the extermination of the old underground gang, so he couldn't help but be careless, not to mention that Nie Shan was Cai You's man.

But when he saw a portrait in the file, Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't help but ask: "Is this Mr. Zhao? Is he really a member of the royal family?"

"That's right! I detained the people in charge of the brothels separately for interrogation. The portraits the artist drew based on their descriptions are all the same, so they must be correct!"

Nie Shan nodded solemnly, and then said a name to Jiang Chen.

"Is it him? It doesn't make sense! Is there any misunderstanding here?"

Jiang Chen looked in disbelief.

Nie Shan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Now you know why I didn't dare to let anyone tell you in advance, right? Now except for the great scholar Cai, only God knows that you know and I know about this matter, and everyone else is under control.

So, alas——"

Nie Shan didn't finish what he said, but Jiang Chen understood the meaning.

After pondering for a while, he said: "If this is the result, I am afraid that the officials and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty will not be able to accept it, and the royal family will not look good!

So, I think this is definitely the disguise of an old underground pole!"

"Gentlemen think alike!"

When Nie Shan saw that Jiang Chen was so 'aware of current affairs', Nie Shan immediately smiled with a relaxed expression on his face.

After discussing the specific matters of exterminating the old pole, they said goodbye and left.

Jiang Chen frowned and thought while walking towards Empress Zheng's residence.

Unexpectedly, they were stopped halfway by Tan Zhen and Liang Shicheng.

"Jiang Chen, I heard that your wife was conferred the title of Madam by the Queen and the officials yesterday. I am really happy and congratulated!"

"Congratulations!"

Several eunuchs bowed their hands to Jiang Chen with hypocritical expressions on their faces.

"Hey, thank you so much to the inner officials for remembering me! I'll go to Jiaofangsi to drink and play some other time. I'll definitely treat you well!"

Jiang Chen responded with a smile and bowed his head, and asked: "Are there any of the senior officials who would like to advise the subordinates on something?"

"Don't take advice seriously!"
