Chapter 687 Step by Step
Without waiting for Zeng Shun to speak, Jiang Youzhen said in a deep voice, "Bring all the files on the transfer of officials handled by Li Yanzheng, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."
Chen Jian's heart suddenly moved. This voice? It seemed familiar! His eyes swept over Jiang Youzhen's hand, which he hastily retracted. His fingers were slender and white, and at first glance, they were the hands of a scholar.
His eyes suddenly widened and he felt relieved.
He recognized this pair of hands, having seen them writing many times before. Because they were white and smooth, with long, slender fingers and thin joints. Because they looked good and didn't look like a man's hands, he had noticed them many times.
Coupled with the slightly familiar voice, he was very sure that this was Lord Jiang Youzhen from the Hanlin Academy.
As soon as Jiang Youzhen saw his eyes, she knew that he recognized her. However, he was very tactful and didn't say it, so she naturally couldn't bring it up on her own initiative.
"Sir, the files on Lord Li Yanzheng have been taken away by Lord Li, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate!"
Zeng Shun was a little confused. Aren't these people in the same group? How many people did the court send to investigate this case?
"Asshole! All government offices can only review files in their respective government offices. If you want to take the files away, you must ask the official in charge of the Ministry of Personnel on that day for permission, and you must also have an official letter with a seal. Do you have these procedures?"
Qin Yandong's face looked grim. He didn't expect that Li Yaojun actually took away the files, and all of Li Yanzheng's files.
Zeng Shun looked at Chen Jian who was standing beside him, and Chen Jian immediately said, "Sir, there is this process.
"When Lord Li came, he went directly to the Office of the Secretary. Two secretaries personally brought Lord Li to get the file. All the procedures for stamping official letters are included. I have a backup copy here. Would you like to take a look?"
Chen Jian didn't dare to provoke this evil spirit and only turned his gaze to Jiang Youzhen.
"Bring it here and let me see it." Jiang Youzhen said.
Chen Jian went to get it immediately; it was on the shelf nearby.
Jiang Youzhen took it and looked at it, and found that it not only had the seals of the Office of the Secretary and the Office of the Dianbu, but also the seal of the Shangshu, which was indeed in line with the procedures.
"Let's go!" Jiang Youzhen returned them.
"Do you know where Lord Li Yaojun went?" Qin Yandong asked.
At this time, he must be either in the government office or in the yamen, and must still be looking through the files. Jiang Youzhen complained in his heart, "Is there any need to ask this?" But he didn't say it out loud.
"How would I know that?" Zeng Shun said with a bitter face under the pressure of Qin Yandong's momentum.
"I did hear Lord Li say that he was going back home. It was already late at that time. Should he have returned home?" Chen Jian was not sure.
"Go!" Qin Yandong gave an order, and Jiang Youzhen followed slowly behind.
Halfway through the walk, Jiang Youzhen stopped and said, "Don't spread what happened tonight, or I will kill you without mercy!"
The two of them were suddenly shocked and said that it would never happen.
After they left, Chen Jian and the other man couldn't help but pat their chests.
"Who is he? So ferocious and evil!" Zeng Shun thought to himself that it was bad luck.
"It's the Dali Temple that's handling the case!" Chen Jian didn't dare to say more.
"Hasn't this case been handed over to Lord Li of the Censorate? Why is someone coming to ask for the files again? And holding a gold medal? It's really strange."
"Shh!" Chen Jian quickly made a gesture to keep quiet.
"My Lord, be careful with your words. Walls may have ears!"
Zeng Shun was startled and felt uneasy, not daring to say anything more.
After the two of them left the palace, Qin Yandong looked at Qing Lang and asked, "Do you know the way to the residence of Lord Li Yaojun of the Censorate?"
Qing Lang nodded, glanced at Jiang Youzhen, and found that Jiang Youzhen didn't say anything. After the two got on the carriage, he started driving.
After getting on Qinglang's carriage, Jiang Youzhen did not take off his hood, but leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
"You don't seem to be in a hurry!" Qin Yandong looked at Jiang Youzhen, who was in a relaxed state. Although he couldn't see her expression, her posture definitely didn't show that she was in a hurry.
"What's the point of being anxious? Besides, the files are with Lord Li. Can he run away?"
Qin Yandong felt a little uncomfortable listening to Jiang Youzhen's leisurely tone.
"Aren't you afraid that those people will be desperate and attack Lord Li, and the files will fall into their hands?" Qin Yandong said unhappily.
"Isn't that better? I was afraid they wouldn't come!" Jiang Youzhen chuckled.
Qin Yandong was stunned at first, and then shocked.
"You, you used Li Yaojun as a target?"
No wonder Jiang Youzhen is not in a hurry. She probably has already made plans.
"Isn't this exactly what the emperor intended? Otherwise, why would he ask Lord Li Yaojun to take charge?"
Qin Yandong just thought that Jiang Youzhen was a little calculating, quite smart, and indeed had some abilities. Now he felt that the emperor valued Jiang Youzhen and it seemed that he really had a good eye for talent.
"Then why do we have to come to the Ministry of Personnel? Can't we just go to Lord Li Yaojun's residence and wait?"
"Didn't you realize, sir, that someone has been following us since we left the mansion? Those people are not stupid. We entered the mansion so openly and dressed so strangely, they must know that someone is secretly investigating the case."
"You..." Qin Yandong didn't expect that every step Jiang Youzhen took had a deep meaning.
He immediately became alert and held the sword at his waist.
"Your Excellency, there is no need to panic. We are going to the Ministry of Personnel, not the Imperial Palace. They want to see what our next move will be, so they will naturally not kill us.
We came out so quickly and went to Lord Li's house, so there must be no files. The files are all in the hands of Lord Li Yaojun, so they naturally have to get rid of Lord Li Yaojun first."
Jiang Youzhen said calmly, "Without the list, we only lost a few people, which is nothing. There is no need to kill us and alert the enemy. We just need to kill Lord Li Yaojun and take the files."
Qin Yandong was impressed by Jiang Youzhen's calmness. No wonder the three princes valued Jiang Youzhen so much. This guy really knows how to calculate people and is very cautious at every step.
The carriage was about to arrive at Li's house. Jiang Youzhen calculated that the time was almost up. She opened the carriage curtain, and suddenly fireworks signals were lit in the sky. Jiang Youzhen's lips curled slightly.
"Lord Qin, be alert, the real killing has begun!" Jiang Youzhen said seriously with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
Li Yaozong's residence was in Yulin Lane in the north city, where several high-ranking officials lived. At this moment, the Li family's residence was full of guards inside and outside. Before the black shadow from the sky could enter the courtyard, it was pierced by the messy arrows and turned into a hedgehog.
"Everyone, charge! Protect Lord Li! Kill! Make sure to leave a few alive."
Fang Zhongyi in the hospital knew that this was a good opportunity. Jiang Youzhen had paved the way for him, so he naturally had to seize the opportunity.
Because they were well prepared, the guards inside and outside the courtyard were so brave that they could kill any god or Buddha they met.
Li Yaojun, who was protected in the study, had flickering eyes as he looked at the chaos in the mansion. He turned to the steward and said, "Where on earth did these people come from? Go and ask the guards in the mansion to protect the old master and his wife."
The steward hurriedly said, "Hey! Master!"
