Chapter 79 Blackmail (1)

Early morning, rising sun, mist, birds singing.

Jiang Xia, who was drunk last night, could not have woken up so early, but when he was dreaming, he dreamed that he had encountered great storms and waves while wandering on the sea, and his wooden boat carrying him shook and shook in the sea... Finally, the boat capsized and fell into the sea. Just as he was about to drown, God called out.

It turns out that God is really a woman.

Jiang Xia opened his eyes with such thoughts, and when his mind quickly recovered, he realized that he was dreaming before. The reason for such a dream was probably because Cui Rushuang was shaking himself, and when he heard the call of God, it turned out that Cui Rushuang was also sent by Cui Rushuang.

"Brother Jiang, you are finally awake. I'll make sober soup for you, why don't you drink some first?" Cui Rushuang asked with concern.

Jiang Xia shook her head. She drank too much last night and still felt like she wanted to vomit at this moment. He looked at the clothes he was wearing that seemed to have been replaced with new ones. Jiang Xia couldn't help but look at Cui Rushuang and asked, "Did you change this outfit for me?"

Cui Rushuang's pretty face turned red and she whispered: "It was my sister and I who exchanged it for you together."

Looking at Cui Rushuang's shy look, Jiang Xia smiled and joked: "What's so shy about? Sooner or later, you will have to see it. But remember, you have to be responsible after seeing it."

When Cui Rushuang heard Jiang Xia say this, she was even more shy. She ran out of the room with a blushing face. The moment she left the room, she said, "Get up quickly, the Grand Tutor has been waiting for you in the waiting room for a long time."

Seeing Cui Rushuang leave, Jiang Xia stayed in bed for a few more minutes before getting up.

After some washing up, Jiang Xia put on a brand new dress and walked out. After coming to the waiting room, Jiang Xia met Li Dongyang and Junyang.

Li Dongyang sat on a chair and tasted the best dragon-jing in Xiaoyao Villa, while Jun Yang stood in the corner. If he hadn't paid attention, he would probably be easy for ordinary people to ignore him.

Jiang Xia nodded to Jun Yang and said hello, but Jun Yang just clicked his chin slightly, and then there was no other reaction. I don’t know if the masters of swordsmanship are so cold, one is Zhong Bin and the other is Jun Yang. Both of them are good at making swordsmanship and are equally cool.

Pretending to be cool is shameful...

Jiang Xia silently recited these four words in his heart and walked to Li Dongyang to salute and said, "A disciple, please see the master."

"Yes." Li Dongyang put the Longjing in his hand on the table, and then said: "Just drink one of the wine properly. Do not overdo it, otherwise it will easily harm the body. Remember."

"Yes, my disciple remembers it." Jiang Xia said.

"Yes." Li Dongyang responded slightly and said, "The people who arrested you and several others into the Five City Military Affairs Office yesterday were the third and sixth brothers of Mao Wenju, the Minister of War. Now both of them are still locked up. Whether they are released depends on your attitude. Mao Wenju will come to you later. You can prepare and see how to tell him."

Jiang Xia, the son of the Minister of War, was still a little surprised when he first heard this. Although he guessed that the identity background of Mao Tianning and Mao Tianjing was not simple yesterday, he did not expect that the identity background of the two was so powerful. However, what surprised Jiang Xia even more was Li Dongyang's attitude. His sentence "Whether to let go depends on your attitude" contains at least two meanings.

First, this is obviously a hint, implying that Jiang Xia will blackmail Mao Wenju after a while. Second, this is also a statement, meaning that our background is greater than that of the Minister of War, so we don’t have to worry about him or give him much face.

After receiving such a hint, Jiang Xia nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, my disciple remembers it."

"Okay. I have asked Jun Yang to ask you for leave from the Imperial College, so I don't have to go there today. It's not convenient for my teacher to meet Mao Wenju, so I have to take a step first."

Li Dongyang stood up while talking.

Jiang Xia bowed and said, "Master, walk slowly."

After sending Li Dongyang away, Jiang Xia returned to Xiaoyao Villa for breakfast. Han Yu ran to Jiang Xia and said, "Brother Jiang, there is someone who claims to be the Minister of War. Now he wants to come in and see you outside the gate of Xiaoyao Villa."

Jiang Xia nodded slightly and said unmoved: "Let him come in, I'll wait for him here."

"Okay." Seeing Jiang Xia's words so relaxed and freehand, Han Yu seemed to not take the Minister of War seriously at all.

After a while, a tall and burly man who looked over fifties last year, took two guards into Xiaoyao Villa and led him to Han Yu to the living room to meet Jiang Xia.

Han Yu introduced Jiang Xia to the man and then stepped down. Jiang Xia pretended to be stupid and asked knowingly: "Your Excellency is..."

"I am the one who is in charge of Mao Wenju, and I will serve as the Minister of War." Mao Wenju said to Jiang Xia.

His tone was very polite, which made Jiang Xia even more convinced that Li Dongyang could completely defeat Mao Wenju. Of course, the actual situation was naturally not the case.

Li Dongyang has already retired, so he could not beat Mao Wenju, the leader of the military officer. Even when Li Dongyang did not retire, Mao Wenju did not necessarily give him much face.

The reason why he was so polite to Jiang Xia today was because of everything he had experienced before.

At the beginning of the morning court, many officials in the court stood up to participate in Mao Wenju, saying that he was not disciplined and condoned his son to abuse his power. A group of civil servants made efforts, and Mao Wenju was choked so hard that he could not say a word.

Then the emperor scolded Mao Wenju in front of all civil and military officials, and removed Mao Tianning from his official position in the Ministry of War.

The morning court left, and Mao Wenju, who was dissatisfied, went to the Qianqing Palace to ask for a meeting with Zhu Houzhao. When Zhu Houzhao met Mao Wenju, Mao Wenju said in front of Zhu Houzhao that the civil servants bullied the few with a grievance, and complained that the Jinyiwei had captured his two sons for the sake of overprivilegedness.

After saying all this, Mao Wenju knelt on the ground and begged Zhu Houzhao to make the decision for him, but Zhu Houzhao smiled faintly and told Mao Wenju that he had already known everything he said.

He told Mao Wenju that he could issue an order for the Jinyiwei to release Mao Tianning and Mao Tianjing, but first Mao Wenju had to let the seven people arrested into the Five Cities Army to relieve their anger, and Zhu Houzhao also pointed out that, especially Jiang Xia's anger, must be eliminated, otherwise he would not just forget it.

Who is Jiangxia?

Since the morning court ended, Mao Wenju left and sent someone to investigate the person. He was in charge of the Ministry of War, and his ability to detect information was no worse than that of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. The news soon came back.

Jiang Xia was originally one of the bosses of Qunfang Pavilion, but later Qunfang Pavilion was closed by Shuntian Mansion under the instructions of Grand Tutor Li Dongyang. A special message was noted here that the boss behind Qunfang Pavilion was Liu Jin.

Originally, Mao Wenju thought that Jiang Xia was Liu Jin's man, but the following news shocked Mao Wenju even more. After Qunfang Pavilion was imprisoned, Jiangxia opened Xiaoyao Villa, and the house in Xiaoyao Villa was presented to Zhang Yong by Shi Wei, the former Minister of Works.

This made Mao Wenju completely confused. It is well known in the court that Liu Jin and Zhang Yong are not dealing with each other. Why are they both involved in Jiang Xia?

What made Mao Wenju understand completely was the last news. There was a rumor that the emperor often went to Xiaoyao Villa and had a good relationship with Jiangxia. Xiaoyao Villa suspected that he had the emperor's shares.

This news almost made Mao Wenju vomit blood. What kind of complicated relationship is this? Liu Jin's partner used Zhang Yong's house to do a business with the emperor. Then he also became the Grand Tutor Li Dongyang of the current dynasty.

Liu Jin and Zhang Yong are rivals, Zhang Yong and Li Dongyang are rivals, Li Dongyang and Liu Jin and Zhang Yong are both rivals, but the relationship between the three of them and Jiang Xia is all very good...

Mao Wenju didn't pay attention to it anymore. Anyway, he now understood that Jiang Xia's background was quite a bit serious, and this person could only make friends and not offend him.

So Mao Wenju went home to pick up a treasure, and then hurriedly brought people to Xiaoyao Villa to meet Jiang Xia.

Now that we met, Mao Wenju was still surprised by Jiang Xia's youth. Jiang Xia did not deliberately show Mao Wenju, but instead invited Mao Wenju to sit down very politely and then sent someone to tea and pastry.

Jiang Xia said politely to Mao Wenju: "I run a small business, but I don't expect it to attract Lord Shangshu. The shop is so prosperous. I will ask the adults to write a few words to the shop as a souvenir."

"It's easy to say, but to be honest, I'm here to apologize to Mr. Jiang this time." Although Jiang Xia was polite, Mao Wenju didn't dare to take any action at all, and he was very polite. But today, except when Mao Wenju was so polite when facing the emperor, he was so polite to Jiang Xia now.

"Apologize?" Jiang Xia continued to pretend to be stupid: "I have never known Master Mao, why did Lord Mao say this?"

It turned out to be a simple character. Mao Wenju said in his heart, and he didn't believe that Jiang Xia didn't know why he came for. Even if the emperor didn't say it, at least Li Dongyang must have told him.

Mao Wenju smiled awkwardly and said, "To be honest, the two who had a conflict with the young master in Tianxianglou last night were the third and sixth brothers in my husband's family. I came today, and I came to apologize to the young master for them."

"Ah? Those two last night were... young masters?" Jiang Xia made an exaggerated expression of surprise.

He shook his head and said, "Oh, I didn't expect it at all. The two young masters didn't mention their family background and identity at all. If I had known it, these things would definitely not have happened. Don't worry, since you have personally come forward to this face, I will definitely give it to you. I can say that I have never blamed the two young masters now."

"Hmm?" Mao Wenju didn't expect that Jiang Xia was so easy to talk to, which was somewhat different from his expectations.

Just when Mao Wenju was secretly appreciating Jiang Xia's ability to deal with people, Jiang Xia frowned and shook her head and said, "Oh, it's a pity that the two young men offended me last night, but all the twenty-eight people in the Imperial College Tianshi Class. Even if I have nothing, the other twenty-seven people..."

ps: Once again, thank you for your generous support from Gengstairs. At the same time, thank you Nanfeng Yuzi for your monthly ticket.

To be honest, Tiger is grateful to everyone who left his name on the fan list. Maybe some people support 100 Zongheng coins, or 1 yuan, but Tiger is still moved and excited when he sees it.

In real life, no one cares about that dollar, but the significance of this dollar on the Internet to tigers is quite significant.

First of all, there are many programs that need to support this dollar. You need to register an account and recharge it before you can support it. After completing so many programs, you will finally support the tiger, which really touched the tiger.

Then there is the meaning of this dollar, which is a kind of affirmation and encouragement for tigers. Internet writers composing in front of the computer all day long, and it has to be said that this is a kind of loneliness, and the appearance of that dollar is just like a warm current that disperses this loneliness.

Secondly, Tigers still have to say that although Tigers are a greedy person, Tigers hope that the supporters of the crowd should do their best. If you are capable, you will support Tigers. Tigers are grateful to you. If you are incompetent, you can log in to Zongheng’s account and click and collect it. Tigers are also grateful to you.

Finally, everyone talks nonsense. Maybe everyone knows that the book Tiger is a buyout. People who know the meaning of buying out may think that if they buy out, the book will be almost certain. Anyway, you can get money by writing it. In fact, this is not the case. If you buy out, you will be more stressed.

Website operators are not fools, they will not do things that lose money. Buyout is that they are optimistic about the quality of your book, and if the final results do not meet their requirements, the book will have to be cut in half.

What is a halving? It is the original structure of three million words. If you write a million words, you have to force an end to end it. This is why many good-quality books end up unfinished and many pitfalls are not filled in.

This book is undoubtedly very hardworking, more hard than the previous book "The Best Eunuch". Tiger hopes to finish it, and whether he can truly write everything I think in the end depends entirely on everyone's support.
Chapter completed!
