Chapter 151 Li Jiang pleads guilty
The servant was hesitant to speak, looking like he was hesitating to speak.

"Damn it, didn't you hear me telling you to get out? Why don't you get out quickly and stay here to be an eyesore?"

Wang Xiaojie urged impatiently.

The servant quickly exited and closed the door.

The room suddenly became quiet. Wang Xiaojie sneered disdainfully, then picked up the teacup on the table and drank a cup of hot tea. Then he said slowly: "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly."

The servant glanced at Wang Xiaojie cautiously, and then said: "Master Qi, Li Jiang has sent someone to deliver a gift."

"what?"

Wang Xiaojie was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Hahaha, Li Jiang is quite smart."

Although Wang Xiaojie has an eccentric personality and a gloomy temper, he is not stupid and he guessed what Li Jiang wanted to do in an instant.

"As expected of an old fox." Wang Xiaojie murmured, "It's a pity that he met me, Wang Xiaojie."

After saying that, Wang Xiaojie stood up and said, "Let's go with me to meet him, Li Jiang."

"Admiral Wang, this is the tea I specially prepared for you. I hope you won't dislike it."

Looking at Wang Xiaojie, who was sitting in the main seat with a plain face, Li Jiang smiled brightly.

Wang Xiaojie glanced at Li Jiang and said noncommittally: "Oh? Lord Governor, can you still make tea?"

"Haha, this is just a little trick." Li Jiang waved his hand: "But since you like it, I won't be polite."

After speaking, Li Jiang reached out to grab the teapot on the table, but was unexpectedly stopped by Wang Xiaojie: "Hey, Brother Li, this is your tea, how can I dare to snatch it from you."

Li Jiang glanced at Wang Xiaojie, with a flattering smile on his face, and then pushed the teacup aside: "Sir, the tea is cold, and drinking it will hurt your stomach. You'd better drink it while it's hot."

When Wang Xiaojie saw this scene, he shook his head secretly.

Li Jiang is indeed cunning and cunning, and such a person can be an official.

However, these things don't matter to him at all.

"Okay, since Governor Li's hospitality is hard to refuse, I can't just walk away."

As he said this, Wang Xiaojie picked up the tea cup.

When Li Jiang saw this, his eyes lit up. This trick really worked. As long as he drank this cup of tea, this matter would be over.

But soon, Li Jiang's smile stopped abruptly, and his face was filled with astonishment.

Because Wang Xiaojie just took a sip, immediately put the tea cup down, and then said: "Brother Li, the tea is cold."

Li Jiang smiled awkwardly, feeling very depressed that the good tea he had worked so hard to get was just wasted.

"Master Wang, what do you think about our cooperation?" Li Jiang asked tentatively, "If your Excellency agrees, how about I personally escort you to the dock in the afternoon?"

"Li Cishi, actually you don't have to waste your breath with me here, because I have already submitted the memorial. As for whether the Cishi can continue to retain people, it depends on what the Queen Mother thinks. What do you think?"

Wang Xiaojie looked at Li Jiang with a half-smile, as if he saw the distorted look on Li Jiang's face.

"Master Wang, you are trying to trap me in an unfair situation!"

Li Jiang gritted his teeth and wished he could eat Wang Xiaojie alive.

"Ha ha."

Wang Xiaojie smiled contemptuously: "Prince Li, don't forget, when I came to Yangzhou, I was still raising military pay, but I was disturbed by your son. This matter, at best, is just because a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but at worst, He said that he was collaborating with the enemy and treason, and was blocking the establishment of the Tang Dynasty Navy."

Li Jiang took a deep breath, suppressed the overwhelming anger in his heart, and forced a smile: "Admiral Wang, I just spoke a bit loudly, I hope I didn't scare you."

Wang Xiaojie waved his hand: "How could it be? I'm just a rough guy. It doesn't matter if the voice is louder."

"Yes, the Admiral is right. I have official business to attend to, so I left first."

After finishing speaking, Li Jiang turned around and left with his fists in his hands.Wang Xiaojie looked at Li Jiang's leaving figure with a faint smile.

Back at the governor's house, Li Jiang, who was angry at Wang Xiaojie, became more and more angry, so he simply pulled Li Tiancheng off the bed and beat him again without saying a word.

Li Tiancheng was confused now. He was sleeping well, so why did he beat himself up again?

The beating was really severe. It is said that Li Tiancheng's screams lasted for a whole hour that day.

"Everyone, the Navy Admiral has bullied me too much. Is there any way?"

Sitting opposite Li Jiang was Zhang Sheng, the think tank of the governor's office. Li Jiang was willing to listen to his opinions on both big and small matters.

Zhang Sheng frowned slightly: "Master Governor, with your status, you should be able to make him loose, right?"

Li Jiang snorted coldly: "What a relief, he directly reported the memorial to the palace."

"what?!"

Zhang Sheng exclaimed, "What should we do now? Doesn't this mean that all our planning efforts over the past few years have been in vain?"

After listening to Zhang Sheng's words, Li Jiang also turned pale.

During this period, in order to compete for the position of governor, he secretly contacted many salt merchants and spent huge amounts of silver to bribe these people.

Now, it's all gone.

"Wang Xiaojie, this thief, actually betrayed his trust."

Li Jiang said through gritted teeth.

Zhang Sheng was silent for a moment and asked, "What should we do now?"

"What else can we do? Find an opportunity to get rid of him and avoid future troubles."

"But he is an official of the imperial court after all. I'm afraid he should be killed."

Li Jiang's eyes were cold and he said in a deep voice: "He is no longer suitable to stay in Yangzhou."

Zhang Sheng hesitated for a moment and said sternly: "Once a minister has a rebellious attitude, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be used if he is too rich. In this case, I have a good friend who is very clever at mending clothes. That dragon robe can be made lifelike, why don't we just say that we received a tip that Wang Xiaojie was plotting a rebellion, and then go search the house and find this dragon robe."

"This is heart-breaking!"

Li Jiang was stunned for a moment, then clapped his legs and praised him.

"Okay, just do it!"

"Wang Xiaojie, don't blame me for your unkindness."

Wang Xiaojie was basking in the sun in the yard at this time. Suddenly a cold wind blew, causing him to shrink his neck.

"Oh mom, why is this weather getting colder and colder?"

Wang Xiaojie muttered, then turned his head suddenly and saw Yang Yanzhang slowly walking towards him.

"Brother Yang, you are here. By the way, how are you doing with the new thing you told me a few days ago?"

Wang Xiaojie asked enthusiastically.

"It's almost there, but this time there is less material, so we need to wait a few days."

"Okay, okay, I have nothing to do during this time anyway, so you can take your time."

Wang Xiaojie laughed, then looked around: "How about it, is my yard beautiful?"

"Beautiful, simply breathtaking, a paradise."
