After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 351 Why is it that the further he walks on this road, the less clear he can see?

"It's definitely not like that." Jiang Qisheng looked at the scar again and again, "But the new and old wounds overlapped, so it's hard to tell what caused it."

Yuan Qing had already taken the rope that was used to strangle Ruoxu and stretched it in front of Jiang Qisheng.

"Master Jiang, can you bear the pain?"

Jiang Qisheng was stunned, his eyes fell on the rope in her hand, and he quickly understood what she meant.

His eyelids jumped, "...Why don't you try it on yourself?"

Yuan Qing smiled embarrassedly, "I can't do it myself. This will affect the final effect."

Jiang Qisheng frowned, "...then how about giving me the rope?"

Yuan Qing looked at Jiang Qisheng's broad palm, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "... Let's not do it. You look very strong. I'm afraid I might lose my life here by accident."

Jiang Qisheng: "..."

Yuan Qing moved the lamp further away, let Jiang Qisheng sit down and relax on the chair, and then moved behind him.

Jiang Qisheng always felt a gust of cold wind blowing from behind, making the back of his neck cold.

Yuan Qing loosely put the rope over, "Don't worry, I'll try to tighten it down. Remember to hold the front with your hands when you use force. We just need to make a mark."

Jiang Qisheng held the rope in his hands, his heart was in turmoil, and he suddenly felt that agreeing to him was a very wrong thing to do.

"Let me count, three, two..."

Before he could even utter "one", Yuan Qing suddenly tightened the rope. Jiang Qisheng was caught off guard and his hands and neck were stuck tightly together.

Fortunately, he was very strong, and the moment he was hit, he started to exert force in the opposite direction with his hands to ensure smooth breathing.

Yuan Qing used a lot of strength at that moment, but it was short-lived and did not cause any major damage.

She loosened the rope and moved to his side to take a closer look.

"It's done."

There are already marks on it, and the rope lines are very clear.

Yuan Qing took out the small mirror she always carried with her from her bag, chose the right angle and stood beside him to hold the mirror so that he could see clearly.

Jiang Qisheng reached out and touched it, then stood up to look at Ruoxu's neck.

There's obviously something different.

Jiang Qisheng sent his trusted men to guard the place, while he returned to the Jiang family.

Mr. Jiang waited for him at home for a long time.

As soon as Jiang Qisheng entered the mansion, he was called to the main hall.

He looked at the people in the room, then at his insignificant father, and couldn't help feeling a headache.

It happens like this every time, and he is really tired.

He didn't waste any words this time and asked his father directly: "What's the matter this time?"

This was the first time Jiang Chengfeng was told this by his son, and he immediately lost his temper. "How dare you, you disobedient and unfilial boy, talk to your father like this?!"

Jiang Qisheng had long been able to calmly deal with his father's various insults. He bowed respectfully and said, "Excuse me, father, what do you want from me?"

Jiang Chengfeng's eyes began to wander.

Mr. Jiang coughed a few times and said, "It's nothing serious. I just want you to take care of a small matter."

Jiang Qisheng did not agree.

He knew that nothing was trivial when it came out of his grandfather's mouth.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Mr. Jiang looked a little unhappy.

The Jiang family members who followed the trend began to persuade Jiang Qisheng one after another.

"The old man doesn't have any other intentions, he just wants you to do him a small favor."

Jiang Qisheng replied directly: "What do you mean by that, Aunt Six?"

The Sixth Lady was frightened by his eyes and dared not say anything more.

Jiang Chengfeng suddenly became tough, "Isn't it just asking you to judge a case? I'm not asking you to go through fire and water. How come you don't even recognize your family after becoming a junior official of the Dali Temple? You eat and drink my food, and I worked hard to raise you, so you should respect me well!"

Jiang Qisheng clenched his fists and endured for a long time before he refrained from getting angry in public.

He asked, "What's the case?"

"It's a case of greed for money." Jiang Chengfeng said, "There is a servant in the mansion who is dishonest and stole your mother's belongings. He has been tied up and is planning to send him to the government tomorrow."

"There's no need for me to intervene in such a small matter as theft." Jiang Qisheng had a blank expression on his face. "Besides, I already have several cases in the Xie Mansion on hand, so I really don't have time to take care of other things. As long as the evidence is solid, it's the same if I hand it over to someone else."

Jiang Chengfeng jumped up and pointed at him, "I told you that you are a heartless person. In your heart, your mother is even more important than those outsiders!"

When Jiang Qisheng looked up again, his eyes were red. "Perhaps you are too old to remember things. How about I help you think about it. Who was it that pissed off my mother so much that she bled profusely during childbirth, resulting in two deaths?"

Jiang Chengfeng felt touched in a sore spot. He walked up to his son in two or three steps and slapped him in the face.

"I'm your father, how dare you talk to me like that?!"

Jiang Qisheng's face was twisted to the side due to the beating, and clear fingerprints appeared on it.

He looked at his furious father pointing at his nose and cursing at him, while his grandfather sitting high up in the seat turned a blind eye to the situation, and all the relatives in the room turned their heads away and talked while laughing.

He suddenly felt empty in his heart. Why was it that the further he walked on the road, the less clear he could see?

The Jiang family, which seems to have a good family tradition in the eyes of outsiders, is actually just a layer of sugar coating that these people have painstakingly woven to deceive themselves.

The sugar coating is fragile. Once it breaks, the most real and difficult to conceal ugliness of the Jiang family will be revealed.

He smiled, "Since this is a case, my son will handle it according to official business tomorrow and will definitely not show favoritism."

As he said this, he bowed to Old Master Jiang and said, "Grandfather, there is no need to say more. I will go to the ancestral hall and kneel down now."

Mr. Jiang's hand, which had just been raised, froze and he slowly put down his crutch.

Jiang Chengfeng ran to his father and complained, "Dad, look, that brat doesn't take me seriously at all. He said he would handle things impartially, so what should I do?"

Old Master Jiang glanced at him and said, "You've done a good deed and you're asking me about it? You've made me lose face. I won't do it again."

This is to help him clean up the mess.

People in several rooms have become accustomed to it.

The old man dotes on this useless son to the core. What's the point of bringing a complaint to him? Won't it just make a big thing small and a small thing disappear?

However, they hope that Jiang Chengfeng will be disabled, so that they can have the opportunity to take over the entire Jiang family.

Every time Jiang Qisheng had a quarrel with Jiang Chengfeng, old man Jiang would punish him by making him kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect on his mistakes facing the wall, accusing him of being disobedient and unfilial.

The servants felt sorry for the young master, but they did not dare to enter the ancestral hall at will.

Once, the lady's personal maid went to deliver food. When the master found out, he beat her half to death and dragged her away to be sold.

Even someone of her status ended up being sold, let alone others?

Yuan Qing did not return to the house.

She went to chat with An San first, and during the conversation she thought of something related to the case, so she took the token and went into the palace.

At midnight, she sneaked into the Jiang Mansion carrying a large bag.
