red makeup

Of course, this was only their decision after talking to Jiang Cheng in private many times, Jiang Ruoling didn't know about it.

But Jiang Cheng knew that the old man and Jiang Yunxiao had entrusted him with a lot of business, which had caused dissatisfaction among several uncles in the side room...

Hearing Jiang Cheng's question, Jiang Shouren smiled obsequiously, "Didn't you let Uncle Six wait for you here? Look, everyone you want has been caught. The men are all young and strong, In addition to giving them a little food, they can dig mines for us for several years. The girls are also good-looking, and they will be handed over to the mothers for a little training, and they will be placed in the brothel on the east side of our east and west Chu, our Jiangnan beauties Once the name is published, I don’t know how much money it will make for us.”

Jiang Cheng's face changed, "I don't know what Uncle Six is ​​talking about. When did I ask you to help me arrest people, and when did I ask you to do these things?"

Jiang Shouren laughed, "Haha... My nephew, there are no outsiders here, so don't pretend to be in front of uncle. Many people died in the landslide in our mine last time, so it's normal to add new people this time. Besides, the prostitutes on the east side of the West Chu side transported a lot of women who were tortured by the Yi people and died. It is understandable to add some new ones. In the future, the Jiang family's huge family business will be yours You don't have to be scruples about doing such a trivial matter, with our uncle and nephew and two confidants in charge, there is no need to cover it up..."

"What? Jiang Cheng, all the people in our village were arrested by you?"

Yao Xueyi rushed over suddenly, glared at Jiang Cheng and reprimanded him.

Jiang Cheng couldn't argue, "It's nothing, brother Yao, listen to me, it's absolutely impossible..."

Yao Xueyi pointed at the iron cage angrily, "How can you argue, look who is locked in these cages? This is my cousin, this is my seventh uncle's grandson, this is my brother-in-law's younger brother...all of us People from Yaotie Village..."

Jiang Cheng was taken aback. The people from Tieyao village had found some. Why did things go wrong?
"No wonder you, the young master of the Jiang family, are willing to take the initiative to investigate this case with me. It turns out that the reason is to trick me into working here as a miner for you. Jiang Cheng, you are not human!"

Yao Xueyi's yelling made Jiang Cheng aware that this was a conspiracy aimed specifically at him or the Jiang family!

Just when Yao Xueyi's roar stopped, a person managed to get up from the iron cage. Jiang Cheng didn't know it, but he saw that the delicate embroidery patterns and fine stitches on the messy robe were still from the robe. Just looking at the style and material, you can tell that this person's identity is not simple.

At the same time, the man's eyebrows were drawn into his temples, his eyes were sharp, and there was a kind of nobility emanating from his bones that made people dare not underestimate him.

"Jiang Cheng? The son of the adopted son of the old man Jiangnan Jiang? How dare you attack the big ship of the palace, and even bring the palace here as well. Why, your Jiang family lacks miners to the point where I need a prince ? Your Jiang family wants to turn against the sky?"

The man's listless words shocked Jiang Cheng almost to faint.

Jiang Shouren next to him had a nonchalant expression on his face, he supported him casually, and said maliciously: "Nephew, Uncle Six doesn't know what this guy is bragging about. Don't say he's not the real prince, even if he is, come in." If we take over our territory, even a dragon has to be coiled by us, what are you afraid of him doing?"

Jiang Cheng couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped him hard, "Shut up! Sixth Uncle, are you really going to put the entire Jiang family in a place of injustice because of those family properties? You are not afraid of killing the nine clans, and there is no one in your family. escaped?"

Jiang Shouren covered his face, "What does my nephew mean by saying this? You clearly ordered me to do these things, but now you are going to push them all on me?"

While they were arguing, there were sounds of fighting and roaring outside.

Immediately following the clatter of iron armor, dozens of iron armored soldiers cut down some gray-clothed men who blocked them to the ground, and then saw the fifth prince Li Congyu in a black robe and Song Yanning in a moon-white shirt walking over side by side.

The torches in the mine illuminated the faces of the two extremely ugly.

"Fifth Emperor Brother, let me out quickly." The man locked in the iron cage who was talking was the first to call.

Li Cong raised his eyebrows, "Fourth brother?"

Zhang Ke, who followed closely behind, exclaimed, "Fourth Highness?"

Xiao Jun rushed forward, cut off the chain with the sword in his hand, and helped the weak Li Cheng out.

Li Cheng slumped on the ground.Unshaven, obviously, since he disappeared on the big ship that night, he has lost his freedom just like a person in a cage, until today.

"Five emperors, arrest this Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shouren quickly. They are traitors and thieves. They not only attacked our big ship, but also captured many men and women. After the men were captured, they did not dig mines for them, and the women were sold. Go to Donglin and Xichu brothels to earn money..."

Jiang Cheng knelt down, "Your Highness Fourth, Your Highness Fifth, Cao Min was wronged. These things were definitely not done by our Jiang family. Cao Min only found out that so many people were imprisoned in this place after being tied up here with Brother Yao today. If we Jiang There is absolutely no reason why I was imprisoned in an iron cage by County Magistrate Park and brought here because of what my family did."

Yao Xueyi, who was pointing at him angrily just now, also sensed something abnormal.He is a rich young man of the Jiang family, if it is just to lie to him alone, there is no need to go to such lengths to stay with him in the iron cage.I'm afraid there is something hidden in it, so I don't make any more noise.

Li Congyu snorted and asked Jiang Cheng, "Is this mine owned by the Jiang family?"

Before Jiang Cheng could answer, Jiang Shouren said, "His Royal Highness, this mine belongs to the Jiang family's mine, and there is a red jade kiln built next to it, which specializes in firing porcelain and selling it everywhere."

Li Congyu asked again, "You bought these people from County Magistrate Pu?"

Jiang Shouren lowered his head, his eyes rolled wildly, "Returning to Your Highness, the people sent by County Magistrate Pu are not enough for our mine. Jiang Cheng also ordered us to plunder and buy from other places..."

Jiang Cheng clenched his fists.

Li Congyu looked at Song Yanning, "What does Master Song think?"

Song Yanning glanced over everyone's faces one by one, and said gently: "Those who attacked the official ship that night not only emerged in endless streams of masters, but also well-trained archers, and there were some water ghosts under the water. County Magistrate Park, come on!" The business of selling people did not last for three or two days, it has already been more than ten years. At that time, Jiang Cheng was only in his teens, and a child couldn't do it."

He paused, "Secondly, if this matter is really planned by Jiang Cheng, regardless of whether he has the ability, at least he doesn't need to kidnap the fourth prince here, let alone lure the fifth prince here himself, just It’s like fearing that the officials will not know that he has done trafficking of ordinary people and attacking official ships. A normal person knows that any of these are capital crimes, unless he is impatient to live.”
