Li Jie rushed to the capital anxiously, without stopping the slightest along the way. He originally planned to stay in Yangzhou for two days, buy something as a gift for the New Year before returning to the capital, but unexpectedly, he suddenly received a letter from Jiang Yan, which forced him to return to the capital quickly.

The worst thing is that Jiang Yan only wrote the word "Soon Return" in his letter, but did not write the reason for asking him to go back. The sender couldn't tell the reason, but this unknown made Li Jie even more worried, and he was guessing along the way what happened?

However, after thinking about it, Li Jie still couldn't think of anything that needed Jiang Yan to notify him to go back? The most likely thing was of course the Jinyiwei's affairs, that is, Li Jie had specifically told Jiang Yan that Mao Xiang might fall, but this matter had nothing to do with Li Jie.

The more he guessed the reason, the more worried Li Jie was, so he kept urging the ship to speed up along the way. When he arrived in Zhenjiang, he simply abandoned the ship and landed on the shore and rode directly towards the capital.

When Li Jie returned to the capital, it was just after noon. Li Jie rushed into the city gate in a hurry, but suddenly realized that everything seemed to be normal in the capital, and pedestrians on the streets were still coming and going, and vendors of all kinds were busy calling for business, which was completely different from the panic of the entire capital when Li Shanchang had an accident.

Seeing this, Li Jie felt even more strange, so he didn't go anywhere and rode his horse to the yamen of the Fushi Office. He originally didn't want to find Jiang Yan so openly, but in order to understand the doubts in his heart, he didn't care about these things.

However, when Li Jie first came to the yamen of the Fushi Office, he immediately felt something was wrong. This was the base of the Jinyiwei. Usually, others walked around here, and the Jinyiwei who came and went was also arrogant. After all, few people in the entire capital dared to provoke them.

But when Li Jie came here, he immediately felt a tense atmosphere. Not only did the number of Jinyiwei coming and going, but everyone looked nervous. Even when they met, most of them were winked and they didn't even dare to say more.

Seeing this, Li Jie immediately guessed that something happened inside the Jinyiwei, and it was probably Mao Xiang's incident, but what does this have to do with him?

So Li Jie stepped forward to the Pacification Department. When the Jinyiwei guards guarding the gate saw Li Jie, they were like mice and cats. They didn't even dare to stop him. Because Mao Xiang was tortured by Li Jie last time, Li Jie's name had long been on the list of Jinyiwei's inability to provoke.

"Where is Jiang Tongzhi?" Li Jie grabbed an Jinyiwei and asked directly. Jiang Yan was the commander of Jinyiwei before, and his status was second only to Mao Xiang, the commander.

"Commander Jiang is inside, the villain will help you report!" The Jinyiwei replied immediately, and after that, he ran inside to find Jiang Yan.

"Commander Jiang? Mao Xiang has indeed fallen, but it's too fast!" Li Jie heard that Jiang Yan's official position had changed, and immediately showed a look of surprise. Although he had already guessed on the road before, he was still a little surprised when he actually learned the news.

Soon, Jiang Qi walked out quickly from behind. Seeing Li Jie, he immediately stepped forward and pulled him back. Then he said anxiously: "Mao Xiang has been arrested. Your Majesty ordered me to take care of the Jinyiwei for a while!"

"Isn't this a good thing? Why did you write me a letter to let me return quickly?" Li Jie frowned and said when he heard this. Jiang Qi wouldn't be so bored that he asked him to come back early to celebrate, right?

"A good thing is of course a good thing, and this incident only happens inside the Jinyiwei and has little impact on the outside. However, as soon as Mao Xiang fell, he implicated many people and was unlucky..."

"No, is Uncle Hu also involved?" Li Jie immediately frowned and asked when he heard this. He almost forgot about Hu Jiang. After he talked with Jiang Qi last time, Jiang Qi reminded him that Hu Jiang did not take the team. He wanted to find an opportunity to remind the other party, but he did not expect that he was sent by Lao Zhu to escort Zhu Chu the next day and had no time to see Hu Jiang.

"That's true. Hu Jiang was not offended either side. If I had taken care of me, he would not have been implicated. But His Majesty asked Dali Temple to interrogate Mao Xiang. As a result, Mao Xiang scrambled around and dragged many people down the water. Hu Jiang was one of them!"

Jiang Yan nodded again and said, if it were just an internal trial of the Jinyiwei, he could have helped Hu Jiang, but now with the intervention of Dali Temple, he would have no choice. After all, he was the commander who was only a temporary agent and did not dare to do too much.

"I understand, what's going on with Uncle Hu now?" Li Jie frowned and asked again.

"Now Hu Jiang and the others are all detained in the heavenly prison of Dali Temple, and their families are also implicated. We were originally arrested and imprisoned in the imperial prison. In this way, I can help take care of one or two, but today the Dali Temple suddenly issued a verdict, Hu Jiang and others were sentenced to exile, and their families..."

Jiang Yan also showed a hesitant expression when he said this, but Li Jie grabbed him and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with the family?"

What Li Jie is most worried about now is the safety of the Miss Hu family. After all, he had already paid off Hu Jiang's favor at the beginning. To put it bluntly, now that Hu Jiang ends up like this, he will bear 80% of the responsibility. However, Miss Hu was once Li Jie's fiancée, and she once had kindness to Li Jie. Li Jie even agreed to the other party that as long as the other party spoke, he would agree no matter what the conditions were.

"The family was... charged into the Jiafangsi." Jiang Yan hesitated for a while and finally replied.

"What!" Li Jie also had his eyebrows standing upside down when he heard this, and an unknown anger immediately surged up. As long as everyone knows, if the officials' families enter there, life is worse than death!

"Brother Li, don't be impulsive. Hu Jiang's family was in the imperial prison before and did not suffer any grievances. Today, the Jiaofangsi sent someone to take him away. I also asked someone to find connections. I should not let the Hu family suffer too much grievances." Jiang Yan immediately persuaded when he saw Li Jie's appearance.

In fact, Jiang Yan didn't want to tell Li Jie about this because he was worried that Li Jie would be young and impulsive and easily mislead things in women. But if he didn't tell Li Jie, Li Jie would definitely blame him afterwards. So after thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to give Li Jie anger, and he deliberately did not explain the reason, just to persuade him in person.

"Brother Jiang, don't say much. I will write down this favor, and there will be a good reward in the future!" Li Jie suddenly bowed to Jiang Yan, and after saying that, he turned around and left.

"Brother Li, what are you doing?" Jiang Yan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Li Jie's sleeve and said.

"Save people!" Li Jie broke free from Jiang Yan with great force, and quickly stepped out of the peace department without looking back.

Looking at Li Jie's back when he left, Jiang Yan secretly regretted it. Although he didn't know how Li Jie planned to save him, he had a very bad premonition judging by his performance just now, which made him pray secretly, hoping that Li Jie would not be emotional and never do anything too much impulsively!

When Li Jie left the Pacification Department, he ran away again. He knew more than anyone else about the Jiaofang Department. Although Jiaofang was mainly a place to train dancers and musicians in the Tang and Song dynasties, it was just an official performance institution. Especially during the Yuan Dynasty, many famous actors in the miscellaneous operas came from Jiaofang.

But actors have always been inferior to the lower class, even the official ones, so the Jiaofangsi has never been a clean place, and even more so in the Ming Dynasty. When Lao Zhu defeated the Mongolian Yuan and plundered many female relatives of the Mongolian Yuan officials. In the end, many were sent to the Jiaofangsi as slaves. The older ones worked day and night until they were exhausted. Not to mention the young ones, many of them became official prostitutes. Only some young ones may learn various skills from childhood, but they still cannot escape their miserable fate when they grow up.

When Li Jie thought of this, he was even more anxious, but fortunately, he was not too late. Today, the Jiaofangsi had just taken the man away from the imperial prison. As long as he arrived in time, he should have time to rescue the man. However, as soon as he entered the Jiaofangsi, the reputation of the Hu family was completely ruined, and it would be difficult to marry a good family in the future.

"I had known that I would have arranged Hu Jiang's affairs before I left!" Li Jie also regretted it at this time. If Hu Jiang's affairs had been arranged before, the Hu family would not have fallen to such a point. When he thought of the Miss Hu family who had helped him, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
