Chapter 1181 This is hardly a callow child.
When Jiang Jiaoyun escorted the person to the Ministry of Justice's prison, the Ministry of Justice had not yet received the news.
If it weren't for the imperial edict that Jiang Jiaoyun carried with her, the Ministry of Justice would have doubted the authenticity of this matter.
In less than half a day, the news that Jiang Jiaoyun had arrested all the male members of the Yun family and sent them to the Ministry of Justice prison spread like wildfire throughout the city.
Liang Chongyue listened to the storytelling with her eyes closed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, waiting for Jiang Jiaoyun to return so she could report on her work.
As it turned out, Jiang Jiaoyun didn't get to see him; instead, she was greeted by the late Prime Minister Jiang.
"Your Majesty, the late Prime Minister Jiang is outside requesting an audience."
Liang Chongyue placed the milk tea in her hand on the table, and the system thoughtfully pressed the pause button for her audiobook listening.
Liang Chongyue: "Never mind, let him in."
Whenever something happened to the Yun family, Prime Minister Jiang would always come to inquire about it.
Liang Chongyue tidied up the table, cleaning up the scraps she and the system had just eaten, when Prime Minister Jiang strode in.
Before Liang Chongyue could say anything, Prime Minister Jiang knelt down in front of her with a thud.
Liang Chongyue kicked the system that was squatting on the ground.
"If I'm not mistaken, did Prime Minister Jiang just slide tackle?"
The system gently moved the host's feet to the side.
"Host, Prime Minister Jiang is practically frantic with worry. Do you really have to focus on this at a time like this?"
The system asked a sincere question.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live Your Majesty."
The old Prime Minister Jiang's voice interrupted Liang Chongyue's next words.
"Get up," Liang Chongyue instructed Ping An, who was standing to the side, "Offer a seat to Prime Minister Jiang."
The old Prime Minister Jiang remained kneeling on the ground. Ping An placed a chair behind him, but the old Prime Minister Jiang did not react.
"Let's sit down and talk. You're getting on in years, don't make the younger generation worry about you."
Liang Chongyue's words struck a chord with Prime Minister Jiang.
He rushed over, knelt down with a thud, then rose shakily and sat down in a chair with trepidation.
The emotional journey of former Prime Minister Chiang Kai-shek has been more tumultuous than in previous years.
Liang Chongyue stirred the tea in the cup beside her; today's milk tea was exceptionally fragrant and mellow.
Seeing that His Majesty was in a relatively good mood, Prime Minister Jiang asked:
"I do not know what crime the Yun family has committed that compels Jiao Yun to rush back from a hundred miles away, just to arrest the Yun family immediately."
Liang Chongyue kept stirring the teacup, but out of Prime Minister Jiang's sight, he reached out and hooked the teaboard over.
The system then rewinds to the families identified in previous investigations as having colluded with the Yun family in this matter.
The Jiang and Yun families were not only old friends but also related by marriage, so it was impossible for them to be completely unaware of this matter.
Liang Chongyue did not respond to Prime Minister Jiang's words.
"I have come here today only to seek the truth. Jiaoyun is still young and cannot see things clearly. She acts impulsively and rashly. Please forgive her, Your Majesty."
Even Liang Chongyue laughed when he heard this.
"If Jiang Jiaoyun acts impulsively and recklessly, then there will be no one left in my court who can be cautious."
Liang Chongyue picked up the milk tea and took a sip:
"The things the Yun family has done behind the scenes over the years, I just haven't thought about investigating, but that doesn't mean I really don't know."
Liang Chongyue put down his teacup and looked up at Prime Minister Jiang.
"There are some things I won't say, so you can just pretend you don't know. The Yun family is doomed this time. If you insist on making trouble, I can't be sure which family will be next."
This blatant warning, though Prime Minister Chiang Kai-shek had not yet inquired about the details, was enough to make him understand the seriousness of the matter.
"Your Majesty, I have another matter to ask you."
Liang Chongyue: "Tell me about it."
"I only want to ask whether this was Jiaoyun's own idea or Your Majesty's order."
Liang Chongyue thought of how Jiang Jiaoyun had forced her to write the imperial edict not long ago, and then looked at the uncertain look on Old Jiang's face when he came up to question her.
"How can you even ask such a question? What do you think?"
The old Prime Minister Jiang knew the girl he had watched grow up all too well.
Prime Minister Jiang: "Then this time it is the Yun family's fault."
"I beg Your Majesty to consider the Jiang family's unwavering loyalty over the years, and that Jiaoyun is still just a child, and not to hold a grudge against her."
Sometimes Liang Chongyue felt that these people underestimated Jiang Jiaoyun.
Minglang, Minglang wants to protect Jiang Jiaoyun well and wants to extricate her from this matter.
The old Prime Minister Jiang, the girl who grew up by his side.
After all these years, I still only treat her like a child.
“Jiaoyun is more clear-headed than any of you. The Jiang family is fortunate to have her.”
With His Majesty's words, Prime Minister Jiang was no longer worried. He wanted to say something more, but seeing His Majesty's displeasure, he could only get up and take his leave.
Watching Prime Minister Jiang's departing figure, Liang Chongyue spoke to the system beside her:
"If Jiang Jiaoyun knew how much the old Prime Minister Jiang cared about her, would she feel like a failure?"
Whether Jiang Jiaoyun feels like she has failed is unclear, but the system can already sense that the host is 100% likely to tell Jiang Jiaoyun about this.
"People are never afraid of getting tired when they do bad things."
Liang Chongyue knew that the system understood him.
"Continue, I want to continue listening to the story."
After working hard for most of my life, I finally found new joy in my prime.
I originally wanted to watch a movie, but the system said that it would consume too many Luck Coins, because it didn't conform to the rules of this world.
She opted to listen to audiobooks as a second choice, not because her eyesight was poor and she didn't want to read, but because staring at one spot for too long would make her look a bit dazed if others saw her.
It's more convenient to listen to audiobooks.
The system clicked the continue button, and the host and the dog each selected a book that interested them, immersing themselves in the ocean of knowledge.
The more Liang Chongyue listened, the more she felt something was wrong. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the system's saliva was already dripping onto the ground.
I glanced at the book the system was listening to.
"No, who taught you to choose recipes by listening?"
The system was so engrossed in the conversation that it didn't hear Liang Chongyue's words.
Liang Chongyue was speechless.
I have nothing to say about the system.
Liang Chongyue listened to the entire book, but Jiang Jiaoyun didn't return to report on the situation.
Silently adjusting the panel, I found myself facing Jiang Jiaoyun.
In the torture chamber of the Ministry of Justice prison, Jiang Jiaoyun sat at a table with a pile of used and unused torture instruments behind her, writing furiously.
This picture is so weird no matter how you look at it.
"I really want to call Prime Minister Jiang down to take a look and see what his immature child, whom he keeps talking about, is busy with now."
This is almost as bold as Minglang.
The system poked its head over and placed its paw on the panel, where the piece of paper written by Jiang Jiaoyun was magnified and appeared before the man and dog.
The document above contains the Yun family's confession. Judging from the stack of documents piled up next to it, you can tell how fast she's progressing.
"At this rate, host, you should receive this stack of confessions before you go to sleep."
