Chapter 42: Wang Calls His Wives and Concubines to the Jiaofang Division
"Cai Xiuzan is indeed a learned man, and this statement is very reasonable!"
As Qin Hui spoke, he nodded respectfully to Cai Sui, son of his brother-in-law Cai Jing.
He was able to become a noble imperial scholar at a young age, all thanks to the help of the Wang family and the Cai family, so when facing these two families, he did not dare to show a trace of the arrogance of a Jinshi or the "arrogance of an elder".
As his words fell, Kong Duancao agreed and said, "I have the same idea as Cai Xiuzhan!"
"Even Kong Siye said so, so it must be right!"
Seeing that everyone recognized his idea, Wang Wen immediately called Wang confidently:
"As the saying goes, what goes up must come down! The higher this official rises, the more mistakes he will make and the faster he will die! Third brother, just wait patiently for a few days. There is no point in getting angry with a dying person!"
"I'm not angry, I'm not angry at all, I'm happy.
I was originally worried that the officials would save Turtle's life because of his contribution to the secret recipe, but now I no longer have to worry."
Wang Huan cheered up again in an instant, laughed wildly at Jiang Chen and said:
"Damn Mr. Turtle, now you know why you were promoted, right? Hahaha, seven days, you only have the last seven days to live!"
While he was laughing, a group of Wang family servants carried several large wooden boxes and a wooden horse into the Jiaofang Department. The leader bowed to Wang Huan and asked: "Master, I have brought all the things, where can I put them?"
"
"Send them all to the West Room and put them in the room I selected for Mr. Jiang Gui and his wife."
Wang Huan said, staring at Jiang Chen with crazy and malicious eyes:
"I have chosen a room for your wife in advance. This wooden horse is a gift I have reserved for her. Do you want to check it first to see if you are satisfied? Hahaha..."
As he laughed ferociously and wildly, Wang Yu and Wang Wen also stared at Jiang Chen with satisfaction and hatred and sneered:
"Jiang Gui Gong, in addition to the wooden horse, there are many interesting things in the box. They are all treasures we treasure. I guarantee that your wife will cry with joy when she sees them. Do you want to open them and take a look?"
"Hahaha……"
Wang Huan, Wang Wen, Wang Bin and Wang Mian all laughed unscrupulously.
Beside them, Cai Sui, Kong Duancao and Qin Hui, who was covering his left cheek, looked at Jiang Chen with eyes full of pleasure and expectation.
…
Seeing this, everyone frowned, but after glancing at Cai Sui and Yan Shenggong's younger brother Kong Duancao, they all remained silent, and all cast pity on Jiang Chen.
But Jiang Chen didn't get angry. After looking at Wang Huan deeply for a few times, he grinned and said:
"I was still thinking about how I should treat your wives and concubines after they arrive at the Jiaofang Division. Now that your Wang family has already made arrangements, I can worry less!"
Um?
What does he mean?
Wang Wen and Wang Bin couldn't help but frown at the same time, and coldly scolded Jiang Chen: "Jiang, you dare to verbally humiliate our Wang family women, are you deliberately seeking death?"
As their words fell, Qin Hui also asked Jiang Chen:
"Jiang reminds me, as an official, how can you insult other people's wives and daughters? Have all your books been read into the stomach of dogs?"
"Can such a person be an official? It is simply a shame for officials!"
Kong Duancao snorted at Jiang Chen with contempt in his eyes.
"That's right! It's really a joke that such a turtle man can be an official!"
Seeing that his side was so powerful, Wang Huan's face became even more arrogant. He stared at Jiang Chen jokingly and said, "Jiang, you are the one who issued the military order with the officials and Prime Minister Cai, not me.
It’s your wife who wants to join the Jiaofang Department, not my wife and concubines! Don’t let your daydreams lead to hysteria!”
"That's right! Mr. Jiang Gui, you'd better accept your fate!"
"Cherish these last seven days, and remember in the next life that you must never disobey our Wang family again, otherwise you will only die! Do you remember?"
"Hahaha……"
Wang Wen and Wang Bin didn't think Jiang Chen could pose any threat to the Wang family at all, so they couldn't help but laugh with mocking faces.
…
And just when they were laughing happily, there was suddenly a cry at the door of the Jiaofang Division.
Then seven or eight young and beautiful women were dragged in by soldiers led by Yuan Changfeng, deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, who had left the palace before Jiang Chen.
When these women noticed the king's call, they immediately started shouting: "Ms., please save me. I don't want to join the Jiaofang Division. Please save me..."
"Wang Yanei, I was just snatched by you. I am not your concubine at all. Tell them quickly and ask them to let me go. I don't want to join the Jiaofang Division. I am innocent! Wuwuwu...
"
"Ms. sir, I am Yurong, please come and save me!"
"Ms. sir..."
Amidst the shouts and cries, everyone was dumbfounded!
Qin Hui, Kong Duancao, and Cai Sui also looked confused!
"what happened?"
"Shouldn't it be Jiang Chen's wife who should be arrested? Why were the third brother's wives and concubines arrested?"
"Is there something wrong?"
The Wang Mian brothers had astonished expressions on their faces, unable to accept the facts before them; even Liu Yueniang's former second brother Zhang Hongwen couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen in surprise.
Wang Huan, who was already a little mentally disturbed, went crazy after being stunned for a moment!
While rushing towards the concubine Wu Yurong with jade-like skin and beautiful face, he shouted angrily at Yuan Changfeng and other Imperial City officers with red eyes: "Are you tired of living? How dare you arrest my Wang Huan's wife and concubines?
Let them go immediately! Otherwise, I will definitely ask my brother-in-law, Master Cai, to kill you and your whole family! Did you hear that?"
"Hmph! Prime Minister Cai can't control our Imperial City Division! Besides, you don't have that chance anymore!"
boom--
Yuan Changfeng kicked Wang Huan to the ground and ordered in a cold voice: "Tie him up!"
"yes!"
The two soldiers ignored Wang Huan's unhealed 'severe injuries' and tied him up brutally.
"Ah! Stop! What are you going to do? Why do you want to arrest me? What kind of royal law have I broken?"
Wang Huan struggled wildly and looked at Yuan Changfeng with a bit of fear and confusion in his anger.
Wang Mian and Cai Sui also looked surprised. They quickly stepped forward and saluted Yuan Changfeng and asked: "Master Yuan, what kind of royal law did my third brother commit? Is there any misunderstanding here?"
"Misunderstanding? Humph!"
Yuan Changfeng glanced at several people with disdain.
The Yuan family almost lost money because of Cai Jing's abolition of Yanyin, so they have a bad impression of everyone related to Cai Jing.
After snorting coldly, he frowned and looked at Li Yan and asked, "Master Li, haven't you read the imperial edict yet?"
"Imperial decree?"
"What imperial edict?"
Everyone looked at Li Yan in surprise.
Wang Huan, Wang Min and Wang Wen had a bad premonition in their hearts, and were so nervous that they broke into cold sweats.
