Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Chapter 480 Li Yan’s shock!

"this……!?"

When Jiang Chen heard what Lord Li said, his face instantly froze!

If what Lord Li said is true, then... then I'm afraid there really is no evidence!

"Lord Jiang, I am very grateful to you for saving me, but if possible, please kill me!" Lord Li suddenly pleaded with Jiang Chen.

"You think that if you don't die, Zhang Ze and the others will attack your family, right?" Jiang Chen looked at Lord Li coldly.

"Not bad!"

Lord Li nodded and said, "At present, they don't know that I have awakened, so they may not have taken action yet!"

"But if they knew I was awake, they would definitely kill my family and force me to commit suicide!"

"After all, only the dead have the strictest words!"

"Haha, you are really a smart person!"

"However, for a smart person like you, why didn't you have any achievements when you were the governor of Kyoto?"

"Don't you want to get promoted?"

Jiang Chen looked at Lord Li with interest.

He felt that this Lord Li was very interesting!

"Lord Jiang, not everyone is as lucky as you!"

"Although I come from a noble family, I am a side branch and am not valued!"

"If I hadn't studied well, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to enter the court!"

"As for achievements..."

When Lord Li said this, he laughed bitterly.

"Haha, Lord Jiang, do you think that among those who are causing trouble in the capital, which one has no background?"

"Can I... afford to offend?"

"I really underestimated you before!" Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh when he heard what Lord Li said!

He had previously thought that Lord Li was just a fool who was just waiting to die!

But now it seems that this... is not the case!

……

"Lord Jiang, can you...can you help me? Considering what I have said..." Lord Li pleaded.

"I can help you, but... you have to help me too!" Jiang Chen smiled faintly.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. How can I help you in this state now?" Lord Li said with a bitter smile.

"Haha, you're so smart, you should know where the solution to this case is, right?"

"Just tell me, and I'll not only make sure your family is okay, but you won't have to die!"

"how?"

Jiang Chen said with a faint smile.

"My Lord, forget it, just kill me!"

"Those things, I...I don't want to think about them anymore, so..."

"Please grant me your blessing, my Lord!"

Lord Li said through gritted teeth.

"I know you're worried that I can't do it."

"But look at this!"

Jiang Chen said, and took out two tokens!

They are respectively the black iron token of General Luo and the black jade token of Eunuch Zhang!

"This... this is... the token of General Luo and Eunuch Zhang!?"

"This...how is this possible!?"

Lord Li looked shocked!

And at this moment, Jiang Chen took out the letter that Eunuch Zhang gave him!

"Look at these two words again. They should be familiar to you, right?"

"Strict investigation..."

"This... is this the handwriting of Eunuch Zhang!?"

"How can this be!?"

"Eunuch Zhang asked you to investigate Zhang Ze thoroughly!?"

"Jiang... Lord Jiang, who... who are you? "

"you you……"

Lord Li felt that his three views were about to be shattered!

If Jiang Chen had just taken out one of the two tokens, he would not be so surprised!

After all, it is possible that Eunuch Zhang and General Luo are on good terms with Jiang Chen!

……

But Jiang Chen possesses both of their tokens at the same time!

Moreover, Eunuch Zhang also asked Jiang Chen to conduct a thorough investigation! ?

How can this be! ?

"Sir Li, to be honest with you, I am General Luo's ninth adopted son!"

"At the same time, I am also Eunuch Zhang's thirteenth adopted son!"

"So, how many people in the court do you think can compete with me!?"

Jiang Chen told Lord Li his identity with a smile on his face!

After hearing this, Lord Li was completely dumbfounded!

Jiang Chen... is the adopted son of General Luo and Eunuch Zhang! ?

This...how is this possible! ?

Everyone in the court knew that General Luo and Eunuch Zhang were like water and fire!

But, if what Jiang Chen said is true!

That's shocking enough!

The long-standing hostility between Eunuch Zhang and General Luo is now on display!

In fact, they have already united together in private!

This...if this is true, then who in the imperial court can contend with it! ?

Even Cai Jing can’t do it!

"Lord Jiang! I am willing to be your vanguard and will be at your disposal from now on!"

Lord Li said this through gritting his teeth.

At the same time, he also wanted to get up and kneel down to Jiang Chen!

"Haha, Lord Li is really a smart man. From now on, you will be the chief clerk of Kyoto Prefecture!"

"However, I will help you hide your identity for the time being!"

"Tonight, I will announce your death first!"

"how?"

Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, sir!"

"However, I am not like Li Yan who came back to life before!"

"Please allow me, sir!" Lord Li, also known as Li Yan, said pleadingly.

"Oh? Why don't you want to reunite with your family?" Jiang Chen looked confused.

……

"My Lord, I know you are going to do something big!"

"Big things are always accompanied by danger. I don't want to implicate my family, so please... agree to it!"

Li Yan said respectfully.

"Okay, I can promise you!"

"Now, can you tell me how to break the impasse?"

Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

"My Lord, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it!"

"How come the families of those border soldiers are not all dead, there are still some alive!"

"Then... isn't there a chance for this matter?"

"As for the Ministry of Revenue, you don't have to do anything for now. As long as Zhang Ze is dealt with, the border troops should be satisfied!"

"As for the Ministry of Revenue, just ask them to come up with a scapegoat!"

"Your Majesty, by doing this, you are giving face to the Eighth Sage Prince and Cai Jing!"

"They will also remember the good things about you, Lord!"

Li Yan said with a smile on his face.

"Can't we deal with the Ministry of Revenue as well?" Jiang Chen was somewhat unwilling.

If we take care of the Ministry of Revenue, maybe we can give Luo Ye a chance to place some people in there!

"Haha, Lord Marquis, how could one of the six ministries be dealt with so easily?"

"Besides, the Eighth Sage King and Cai Jing are not to be trifled with!"

"Now it's almost enough to deal with Zhang Ze!" Li Yan said lightly.

"Well, that's fine too."

"But where are the surviving border soldiers' families?" Jiang Chen asked with a frown.

"My Lord, you don't know."

"At the beginning of the year, Zhang Ze gave a group of maids to Eunuch Zhang's third adopted son!"

"And among those maids, there are families of border troops!"

Li Yan said with a faint smile.

But Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard this!

"Eunuch Zhang's third adopted son, if I remember correctly, is he... also a eunuch, right!?"
