Chen Qiongnian had already heard about what happened last night. In fact, he had thought about going to Sang Mansion in person at that time, but he remembered Jiang Konghou's always doing things, and was worried that he would not come to Taiwan in front of his subordinates, so he sent someone to order to retreat.

Chen Qiongnian was unable to sleep that night. It was not the matter of Sang Mansion that made his heart turmoil. It was in the court. The emperor passed away yesterday and knew that it was still unclear to establish a new king today. Chen Qiongnian should have gone to Yongdu to attend the funeral, but he was instructed to not leave Chiyang without permission. According to common sense, the new king should be the crown prince Long Shixiang, but no confirmed news has been reported so far. Is there any change in this matter?

At this sensitive time, why did Jiang Konghou come to Chiyang? What was her purpose? Is it just a simple visit to the grave? Two years will come, why did it suddenly come? Chen Qiongnian has sent people to closely monitor Jiang Konghou's every move, and it is clear that whoever she is with her and where she spent the night last night.

After careful consideration, Chen Qiongnian decided to go over and meet Jiang Konghou alone. His wife and Jiang Konghou were definitely not the same level opponent.

When I came to the living room, I saw Jiang Konghou sitting there drinking tea with a young man. The young man was her adopted son Qin Lang.

Jiang Konghou asked Sang Sangen to accompany Xue Wu in the middle of the journey, and Gu Xiefei went elsewhere to stay first. After all, Xue Wu was a fox demon, so she didn't want to take a fox demon to the home of Siming, the demon-suppressing demon.

Chen Qiongnian's face was as if it was a spring breeze, and he said respectfully: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, what wind has blown you..."

"evil wind!"

Chen Qiongnian's smile remained unchanged: "Mrs. Sister-in-law is really good at joking. You are here to make the humble house shine brightly."

Jiang Konghou picked up the fine porcelain teacup and tasted the fragrant tea: "If you are a humble house here, I'm afraid there will be no more wealthy places in Chiyang City. By the way, the palace is more wealthy than here. Could it be that only the palace can attract your eyes?"

Chen Qiongnian said laughing and cryingly: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, you can't speak nonsense. If others hear this, it will probably cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Looking at Qin Lang, he changed the topic and said: "This is..."

Jiang Konghou put down the teacup: "My godson Qin Lang, killed your subordinate last night."

Qin Lang sighed inwardly, this godmother is really unusual. She didn't even have to think about it when she cheated her godson. She just said it openly, and this was to provoke Chen Qiongnian's hatred for the outside world in person.

Chen Qiongnian could still maintain enough cultivation at this time. He looked at Qin Lang with a smile and said, "You are so promising." Qin Lang not only killed Zhou Lianjin, but according to the information he has obtained, Zhou Lianshi also died in his hands.

Qin Lang smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I have met Lord Chen!"

Seeing his calm and composed appearance, Chen Qiongnian sighed in his heart, where did Sang Jingtian recognize such an adopted son? This kid has good psychological qualities. Qin Lang, he has heard of this name. Two of the seven prisoners have died recently. Zhou Lianshi and Zhou Lianjin's brothers were actually broken into his hands.

Jiang Konghou said: "Mr. Chen, do you know why I came to the door today?"

Chen Qiongnian smiled and said, "I really don't know about this. Please tell me my sister-in-law about it."

Jiang Konghou nodded and said, "Chen Qiunian, Chen Qiunian, when you were under my father's command, my father said that this person would become a great man in the future. Now it seems that he is not wrong." There is a reason why she called Chen Qiunian directly. Chen Qiunian used to work under King Fufeng and was considered an old acquaintance with Jiang Konghou.

Chen Qiongnian said: "Is the prince's health okay? Speaking of which, I haven't visited him for some years. Without his cultivation, I wouldn't be what I am today."

"He doesn't admit that if you talk nonsense, his temper will definitely be angry." Jiang Konghou's meaning is obvious. When you, Chen Qiang, are close to you, my father dislikes your character.

Chen Qiongnian laughed and said, "The prince has always been strong, but I'm still a little afraid of him."

"It's not necessarily true. If you are afraid of him, you dare to demolish his in-laws' house?"

Chen Qiongnian stood up and bowed deeply to Jiang Konghou and said, "Mrs. Sister-in-law, what happened last night was indeed my negligence. Zhou Lianjin was neglecting his duties, and he just let the two serious offenders of the demon race escape from the demon prison, causing such great losses to the Sang Mansion and such great trouble to the sister-in-law. Sister-in-law rest assured, since it was the people of the Demon Suppression Department who caused trouble, all the losses were covered by me. I will arrange for reconstruction immediately to ensure that everything will be restored as usual."

"Does Zhou Lianjin deserve to die if he neglects his duties?"

Chen Qiongnian nodded and said, "I deserve to die!" Anyway, everyone is dead, so there is no need to bother with this matter. He also understood that killing Zhou Lianjin was Jiang Konghou's commander behind her. She wanted to kill the chicken for the monkey to see, but this girl was too much.

"I'll have to stay in Chiyang for some more days. Do you know where I lived last night?"

Chen Qiongnian said: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will make proper arrangements..."

Jiang Konghou interrupted him and said, "No need to worry, my son and I will give it a break for the time being and live in your house."

"this……"

Chen Qiongnian really never expected that she would make such a request, and caught him off guard if he was killed, and would he live in my mansion?

"Isn't it possible?"

Chen Qiongnian smiled and said, "It's not that I can't, but I'm worried that my family has many people, which will disturb your purity."

"I like the fun. Your wife and I haven't seen each other for many years. This time we're close."

Chen Qiongnian's scalp tightened. What exactly did this Jiang Konghou want to do? Before I could hold her godson accountable for killing my subordinates, she actually came to the door to cause trouble for me?

Jiang Konghou said: "By the way, have you heard of the big things that happened in the court?"

Before Chen Qiongnian could answer, Jiang Konghou said again: "I forgot that your current official rank still doesn't seem to be able to contact these major events in the court." This was a bit of a naked slap in the face.

Chen Qiongnian was still calm and said with a smile: "That's true."

Jiang Konghou said: "I am appointed as the minister of life because of the importance of the emperor."

Chen Qiongnian's heart was pounding. He had never heard of this. If what Jiang Konghou said was true, then Sang Jingtian was entrusted with an important task. Who is the emperor? Isn't it the prince Long Shixiang? If it wasn't the prince, wouldn't it be troublesome?

Jiang Konghou said: "The power of heaven is unpredictable. I, a woman, don't know anything. Since the court values ​​it, I can only bear the pain and give up my love. Just pretend that there is no man in my family." She yawned and said: "I'm tired. Your family is so big, where can I live?"

Chen Qiongnian winked and signaled the butler to invite his wife out.

Jiang Konghou said: "By the way, there is another thing. My son Qin Lang, you already know him. You must check what happened last night, but I am not at ease when you investigate the Demon Suppression Department. Our Sang family must also be present. Otherwise, you can arrange a position for him and simply defeat Zhou Lianjin's lack and let him follow you to learn and practice."

Chen Qiongnian was speechless. Not only did Jiang Konghou want to live in his own house, but he also stretched his arms so long that he wanted to stuff her godson into the Demon Suppression Department. I thought the family of the Dayong court was open?

Chen Qiongnian suppressed the anger in his heart and asked his wife to accompany Jiang Konghou carefully. As for the matter of wanting to arrange for Qin Lang to join the Demon Sect, she pretended to be deaf and dumb, just pretending not to hear it.

Back at the Demon Suppression Department, Chen Qiunian got a definite news that the new king was still the crown prince Long Shixiang. However, because the crown prince was only twelve years old, the past queen, now the new empress Xiao Zirong, ruled the power behind the curtain. When the emperor died, he entrusted four ministers with the orders, Prime Minister Lu Buyao, Taiwei He Dangzhong, Censor Sang Jingtian, and one of the nine ministers, Li Yifeng, Fengchang.

Chen Qiongnian was the disciple of Prime Minister Lu Buyao. The reason why he was able to establish the Demon-Suppressing Department was related to the support of Lu Buyao behind him. It was also Lu Buyao who kept him in Chiyang to watch the changes. Lu Buyao was also two imperial teachers, and the emperor and the prince and son were both his students.

This news made Chen Qiongnian mixed joys and sorrows. He was so happy that the crown prince finally ascended the throne, and was so worried that the empress dowager had to rule from behind the curtain. Among the four ministers in charge, Prime Minister Lu Buyao was a staunch supporter of the crown prince. The attitudes of the other people were hard to say at the moment.

The only clear thing is Sang Jingtian. The reason why he came to Chiyang to mourn was not as simple as Ding You. Sang Jingtian was once one of the opponents of the prince's ascension to the throne. Because this incident angered the emperor, the emperor did not regain his love for him in advance. According to normalcy, Sang Jingtian, one of the three dukes, could only be re-summoned by the emperor for half a year.

It can be said that during the two years of Sang Jingtian's Dingyou period in Chiyang, Chen Qiunian has always been paying close attention. Sang Jingtian is indeed very patient. In the past two years, he has always lived in a cemetery in the suburbs of the city and built a house, and he has never even returned to his parents' old house.

Sang Jingtian used two years of patience to spread the name of benevolence and filial piety throughout Chiyang. Everyone admired Sang Jingtian. Although he lost his official position for two years, he won the reputation of benevolence and filial piety. This time the court encountered a crisis, he was immediately taken back from his love, which proved that the late emperor still valued him very much.

Thinking of Jiang Konghou returning to Chiyang at this critical moment, Chen Qiongnian had to consider her motives, and he began to regret it. The move she made last night was a bit rash and could not lose a lot of rice. The reason for the mistake last night was related to the error message he got.

Chen Qiongnian can only wait patiently and wait for his mentor's guidance. It has been so long since the emperor passed away, why has his mentor still not sent someone to send a message?

The emperor left too suddenly. If he could wait for another half of the year, his precious daughter Wei Yu would be able to marry the prince of yesterday and the emperor of today.

Chen Qiongnian stood on the ninth floor of the Demon-Suppressing Tower of the Demon-Suppressing Office, looking east from afar. Lu Buyao was the head of the ministers of Gushi. He had always been working hard to promote this marriage. The prince was young, but the country could not be left without a day. After the funeral of the former emperor, he should start to solve this matter.
