Chapter 697 Is it good or bad?
Chapter 697 Is it good or bad?
“You…?”
Jiang Chen was confused when he saw the Holy Mother Leader was so excited!
What's the situation?
Could it be that the Virgin Mary and Eunuch Zhang have a grudge against each other?
Otherwise, the other party wouldn't be so hostile to Eunuch Zhang, right?
Seeing the Holy Mother leader getting excited, Jiang Chen took a deep breath and said, "I will check what you said!!"
"I, Jiang Chen, never judge people by their ears!"
"But through my eyes and my heart!"
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he left without looking back.
"Heart?"
"Haha, I hope your heart is not blinded!"
The Virgin Mary laughed coldly!
At the same time, she recalled the night many years ago.
That night, the house was ablaze with flames and screams could be heard everywhere!
There were hundreds of people in the family, but only she and her niece escaped!
Over the years, she joined the Holy Mother Church, suffered a lot, and finally became the leader.
What is her purpose?
Isn't it just for revenge?
And Jiang Chen actually spoke for the executioner!
Haha, that's ridiculous!
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Just at this moment, Miss Xuanxuan, who saw Jiang Chen leaving, walked in.
"It's okay, Xuanxuan, Jiang Chen and I have reached a cooperation agreement. We will leave the capital tomorrow!"
The Holy Mother said coldly.
"Leaving tomorrow?"
“Isn’t this too hasty?”
Miss Xuanxuan looked shocked!
They are doing very well in the capital, so why don't they stay?
"Tomorrow, we have to leave!"
"We will arrange people to take action during the sacrificial ceremony."
"By then, the capital will be under martial law, and it will be too late for us to leave!"
"Tomorrow, so... we have to leave early!" the Holy Mother explained.
……
"Then... that's fine."
Miss Xuanxuan agreed reluctantly.
She originally wanted to stay in the capital for a while longer.
But now, it seems there is no chance!
Alas, I don’t know when I will be able to see Jiang Chen next time~
I don’t know when it started, but Miss Xuanxuan always thought of Jiang Chen in her heart.
This feeling made Miss Xuanxuan very nervous. Could it be that she... fell in love with Jiang Chen?
On the other hand, Jiang Chen was unaware of these circumstances.
After leaving the Holy Mother Church, he came all the way to Kyoto Prefecture.
"Where is Li Yan? Let him come to see me!"
"Yes!"
Following Jiang Chen's order, Li Yan was quickly brought to Jiang Chen.
"Master Hou, are you looking for me?"
Li Yan looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.
Jiang Chen suddenly came to him, and it seemed that Jiang Chen was in a bad mood!
This...did something happen?
"Li Yan, do you know about the tragic massacre of the Yang family in Jiangnan?"
Jiang Chen saw Li Yan coming and asked directly.
"Um!?"
When Li Yan heard Jiang Chen's words, he was shocked!
"My Lord, why are you asking this?"
"you know!?"
When Jiang Chen heard Li Yan's question, he immediately realized that Li Yan knew about this!
"My Lord, I'm not too sure, I just heard about it!" Li Yan said in a deep voice.
"It's okay to have heard of it. Just tell me what you know!" Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Seeing Jiang Chen like this, Li Yan did not dare to neglect him!
Li Yan said in detail: "My Lord, the Shao family was like this ten years ago, when Eunuch Zhang had just gained power in the palace."
"And the first thing he did after gaining power was to destroy the Yang family in Jiangnan!"
"It is said that when Eunuch Zhang was young, he was bullied by the Yang family, so he took revenge on the Yang family after he gained power!"
"But there is also a saying that the court received news that the Yang family was plotting a rebellion, so the late emperor sent Eunuch Zhang to destroy the Yang family."
……
"Rebellion? Personal vendetta?"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard Li Yan's words.
If it were him, he would probably believe the latter of these two results!
After all, that’s how human hearts are!
"My Lord, why do you suddenly ask this?"
Li Yan asked with a frown.
He felt that Jiang Chen was acting strange today.
"Li Yan, let me ask you, what do you think of Eunuch Zhang?"
Jiang Chen did not answer, but asked Li Yan instead.
"Eunuch Zhang?"
Li Yan was stunned.
What is Jiang Chen doing today?
The questions are so sharp.
He knew that Jiang Chen and Eunuch Zhang had a relationship, but didn’t it break up last time?
Now, Jiang Chen asked about this matter again...
This... Could it be that Jiang Chen wants to restore his relationship with Eunuch Zhang?
"Li Yan, I have been in Beijing for a while, and have been in contact with Eunuch Zhang for a while."
"But the more I interact with Eunuch Zhang, the weirder it seems to me."
"There have been rumors in the outside world that Eunuch Zhang is not a good person. They say he is a castrated dog, that he has killed many people, that he is corrupt and perverts the law, and that he has harmed loyal people!"
"But I didn't see anything!"
"This... makes me feel very strange!"
Jiang Chen expressed his doubts.
But after hearing Jiang Chen's words, Li Yan laughed.
"Haha, Lord Marquis, I have also wondered about this question before."
"But later I figured it out!"
"These things are all fake!"
……
"Fake!?"
Jiang Chen was shocked when he heard this!
"Not bad!"
Li Yan nodded and said, "My Lord, I have heard a lot about Eunuch Zhang over the years, both good and bad."
"But I didn't see the bad things."
"As for the good ones, there are quite a few, but they are for the common people, not the noble families!"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Jiang Chen looked at Li Yan in confusion.
"My lord, Eunuch Zhang opened the Talent Recruitment Hall, which broke the monopoly of the aristocratic families in the court. Do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing?" Li Yan asked with a faint smile.
"This……"
Jiang Chen understood!
For the common people, Eunuch Zhang has always been helping them, so he must be a good man!
But for the aristocratic families, it is not the case!
The aristocratic family’s monopoly was broken, so naturally they couldn’t stand Eunuch Zhang!
However, the power of public opinion in this era is precisely in the hands of the aristocratic families!
Therefore, after the noble family took action, Eunuch Zhang’s reputation was naturally ruined!
However, he must get to the bottom of the Yang family's matter!
Jiang Chen felt that the relationship between the Holy Mother and the Yang family must be complicated, otherwise the Holy Mother would not be so excited after talking about this matter!
"Li Yan, where can I find the files on the Yang family's affairs?"
Li Yan thought about what Jiang Chen said and said, "My Lord, if you want to investigate the Yang family, I'm afraid you only have two options: go to the Ministry of Justice or go to Eunuch Zhang!"
"The Ministry of Justice?"
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
It's definitely impossible with Eunuch Zhang!
Therefore, the only option for the capital is the Ministry of Justice!
But the Ministry of Justice is also in a difficult situation!
The Ministry of Justice is full of Cai Jing's people. If he wants to look for the files, Cai Jing probably won't agree!
But Jiang Chen still decided to give it a try!
After all, Cai Jing owes him a favor, doesn't he?
