Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 152 Buckle the hat

Wang Xiaojie had a look on his face: "I've known for a long time that this is a good place, and it's really good."

Yang Yanzhang nodded slightly: "It's really good. It would be good if I could be quiet for the rest of my life."

"Quiet for the rest of your life?" Wang Xiaojie snorted coldly: "It's just a fool's errand. Only by standing higher and seeing farther can you live a peaceful life."

"Stand higher?" Yang Yanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Brother Wang, maybe he wants to..."

Wang Xiaojie immediately felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood: "A man should carry a three-foot sword to achieve unparalleled achievements. Anyway, I have long disliked those people in Goguryeo. When I train the navy well, I will be the first to attack It’s them.”

Yang Yanzhang looked at Wang Xiaojie dumbfounded and realized that people in this era really only thought about building military industry.

As the days passed, Yang Yanzhang's new perfume became a great success throughout Yangzhou City.

At the same time, Wang Xiaojie's memorial to impeach Li Jiang, the governor of Yangzhou, was successfully delivered to Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian was immediately furious after hearing that, and directly ordered Wang Xiaojie, Yang Yanzhang, and Li Jiang to go to Beijing to explain the matter clearly.

Soon, the three of them arrived in Chang'an City.

This morning, Wu Zetian was sitting in the Golden Palace.

Shangguan Wan'er next to her said in a cold voice: "Announce Yang Yanzhang, Li Jiang, and Wang Xiaojie to enter the palace."

The three of them entered together, knelt down and saluted: "Long live the Queen Mother!"

"You are free from courtesy."

"Thank you, Empress."

"Wang Xiaojie, let me ask you, a few days ago you reported that Li Jiang, the governor of Yangzhou, had the intention of treason. Do you have any conclusive evidence?"

Wu Zetian looked at Wang Xiaojie below and said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Li Jiang was so frightened that his soul flew away. Without saying a word, he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "Queen Mother, you are wronged! My loyalty and loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth."

Wu Zetian glanced at Li Jiang and said calmly: "Since your loyalty can be demonstrated by the sun and the moon, why did Admiral Wang write such a memorial again?"

"The minister is wronged!"

Li Jiang's face was flushed with anxiety, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his heartbeat was racing.

Yang Yanzhang next to him was dumbfounded. Under such circumstances, he was labeled as a rebel.

Why is this man's heart so dark?

At this time, Wang Xiaojie saw Yang Yanzhang looking at him and gave the latter a reassuring look. Then he stood up and said loudly: "To report to the Queen Mother, I have conclusive evidence. This thing was found from Li Jishi's home."

As he spoke, Wang Xiaojie took out a jade seal like a magic trick.

Li Jiang's eyes widened when he saw it. How could you, a little girl, still play like this?

Wu Zetian took the jade seal, looked at it carefully, then looked up at Li Jiang below, and said in a serious tone: "What else do you have to say?"

"Queen Mother, I am wronged!"

Li Jiang fell to the ground with a thud and cried.

"Injustice?"

Wu Zetian smiled contemptuously: "Do you dare to read it to everyone in class?"

"Yes, yes, Wei Chen is willing to read it to everyone in public."

"it is good."

Wu Zetian waved his sleeves, and then a eunuch came out carrying a memorial.

Li Jiang took the memorial, opened it with trembling hands, and read it word for word.

"Your Majesty Wang Xiaojie discovered that Li Jiang, the governor of Yangzhou, intended to rebel and allowed his son to do things that harmed the country and people. He found a jade seal on his residence and begged the Queen Mother to immediately deprive Li Jiang of his official status and give him a severe punishment."

"This is a false accusation, this is slander! Queen Mother, you must not believe it. This is all a rumor framed by Wang Xiaojie."

"presumptuous."

Wang Xiaojie scolded angrily: "Li Jiang, you still refuse to change your ways until now. How dare you make excuses!"

Wu Zetian smiled slightly: "Li Jiang, if you think that I have been deceived, then hand over the evidence. If you can prove that Wang Aiqing's memorial is false, I will spare you."

"cocoa"

Li Jiang hesitated for a long time, but couldn't say a word.Where does he have any evidence?

That guy Wang Xiaojie is just spreading rumors. If he spreads rumors, he will lose his legs if he refutes them.

"Queen Mother, I am wronged!"

Li Jiang continued to cry, but still couldn't say anything substantial.

Wu Zetian looked at Li Jiang who was crying in the audience, feeling unspeakably bored in her heart.

She hated people showing off in court.

At this moment, a little Huangmen suddenly ran over in a hurry and whispered to Wu Zetian for a while.

"Oh?"

After listening, Wu Zetian looked surprised.

"Wang Aiqing, you just said that Li Jiang colluded with Japanese pirates, massacred people, and even protected bandits. Well, is this Japanese pirate real?"

Wu Zetian pointed at the confused Li Jiang below and asked sternly.

Wang Xiaojie looked at Li Jiang and cursed a piece of trash in his heart. Then he respectfully replied: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, everything I said is true."

"Okay, bring it here."

"Here."

Two guards escorted one person to the center of the hall.

"Li Jiang, what else do you have to say?"

Li Jiang's eyes widened when he saw the person in front of him, and he exclaimed: "Hu, Mr. Hu? Why are you here?"

"Li Jiang, I didn't expect that I would see you on such an occasion."

The man who was tied up by Wu Hua smiled and said, "This is His Majesty's will. You can't escape this time."

Looking at the scene in front of him, to be honest, Wang Xiaojie was a little confused.

I didn’t expect that Li Jiang really colluded with foreign countries?
And he’s a Japanese pirate?

"Queen Mother, please don't listen to Hu Laosan's nonsense. He has connections with the Japanese pirates and must have been bewitched by the Japanese pirates."

Li Jiang hurriedly shouted at this moment: "Queen Mother, this matter is purely framed. I definitely did not do those things."

However, no one paid him any attention.

Wu Zetian looked at Hu Laosan: "What about you? Do you have anything else to say?"

Hu Laosan looked at Li Jiang and sneered: "Li Jiang, you are such a noble person who forgets things so much. Have you forgotten me too?"

"It was clearly you who told me that colluding with the Japanese pirates would be very profitable, and you promised to give me at least 10 taels of silver every year."

After Hu Laosan finished speaking, he looked at Li Jiang with contempt.

Li Jiang was stunned and looked at Hu Laosan, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Wu Zetian asked again, but Li Jiang hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "No."

At this time, Li Jiang was completely panicked.

Because he recognized Hu Laosan.

At that time, Li Jiang was still the censor Zhongcheng. Once he happened to pass by the dock and met a group of Japanese pirates.

He was just curious at the time and sent someone to follow him for a few days.

However, as soon as his men approached, they were noticed by the Japanese pirates.

Not only that, the Japanese pirates also discovered that his men were following them, and they immediately went into a killing spree, almost killing all of his men.

Li Jiang was frightened at the time and immediately ordered someone to be summoned, but it was of no use.

In the end, Li Jiang could only send guards to protect him and leave first, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese pirates were chasing after him.
