A capital offense?
Everyone could not help but be stunned. One had to know that Li Chen was an expert with divine powers. Although he was not considered anything in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty or the Grand Preceptor Residence, if he went out, he would be a famous existence. At the very least, he could become a city lord.
That was why Li Chen was able to become the manager of the Internal Affairs Office. His status was considered decent. After all, there were only a few positions with authority in the Grand Preceptor Office.
Everyone was respectful to Li Chen, but Jiang Chen's question of whether or not he knew that he had committed a capital crime naturally shocked everyone.
"What nonsense! Jiang Chen, you've lost your mind!”
Jiang Lang said coldly. He wasn't afraid of Jiang Chen at all. At the same time, he thought that Jiang Chen was extremely stupid.
He had thought that Jiang Chen had been keeping a low profile all this time, and he thought he was very strong today, so he was eager to show it.
That was why Jiang Lang looked down on Jiang Chen. He thought that Jiang Chen was really stupid. Did he think that he was very strong just because he had such strength?
Would it be of any use to be ranked in the top 100 of the Jiang family? Could it be that the Jiang family only looked at strength? Without any background or connections, Jiang Chen would only be asking for trouble if he showed his strength. It was the Fourth Madam who was targeting Jiang Chen, but now, several other madams were targeting him.
This was because the Jiang family's clan head was not inherited by the eldest son. The eldest son could inherit the title, but the position of clan head could be inherited by everyone. It happened once every 50 years, and Jiang Xuanji had already inherited it for 47 years. In another three years, Jiang Xuanji would step down from the position of clan head.
Even though he could still manage the Jiang family, it didn't stop all the direct disciples from chasing after the position of the clan leader, which was why the Jiang family fought openly and secretly.
Jiang Chen was asking for trouble by displaying his strength.
"You want to hear what capital crime I committed?”
Li Chen was very shrewd. He was curious about what Jiang Chen meant by death penalty, so he asked directly.
"Li Chen, you're the steward of the Jiang family's internal affairs department, but you colluded with the Fourth Madam Wang and deducted fifteen years of my salary. Ever since my mother passed away, I, Jiang Chen, have never received any cultivation resources.”
"The Jiang family has an ironclad law. Anyone who embezzles cultivation resources from a disciple is guilty of a major crime. Although it doesn't warrant death, I was seriously ill in bed a few days ago. The Internal Affairs Bureau should have been responsible for sending me the medicine as soon as possible, but it was delayed for three days and almost killed me.”
Jiang Chen said coldly.
Li Chen couldn't help but reveal a smile after hearing Jiang Chen's words. He had thought that Jiang Chen was really capable, but it seemed like he was just so-so.
If Jiang Chen didn't have some strength and foundation, he wouldn't dare to deduct his salary. As for delaying the medicine, he didn't mind because he was running out of medicine. He couldn't blame the Internal Affairs Bureau for not having any.
"Young Master Jiang, you should ask Fourth Madam about the deduction of your salary. I don't know anything about it. As for delaying the medicine, Young Master Jiang, the Internal Affairs Office has records of this matter. It's true that the medicine didn't arrive. If you forcefully blame me, I, Li Chen, am not afraid.”
Li Chen chuckled. He was not afraid at all because there was someone behind him.
Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled. He looked at Li Chen. He had many things to say, but he didn't say them in the end. Instead, he said,"I've already left a letter. The patriarch is not here, and as a direct disciple of the Jiang family, I have the right to leave. I just need to leave a letter. This is in accordance with the rules of the Jiang family. You, Li Chen, are just a steward of the Internal Affairs Office. You don't have the right or qualifications to interfere in this matter. If you want to interfere in this matter, I'll just stay in the Jiang family. When the patriarch returns, I'll personally meet the patriarch and tell him everything.”
" Perhaps you think that the Patriarch is a great figure and doesn't care about such trivial matters, but do you know that Li Chen, my surname is Jiang, and you are an outsider? If you still want to stop me, I'll go back immediately. In a few days, even if I have to be crushed to pieces, I'll make you suffer.”
Jiang Chen's tone was cold and terrifying.
His eyes were firm.
This sentence made Li Chen frown a little.
Jiang Chen was right. No matter what, he was a direct disciple of the Jiang family, the son of Jiang Xuanji. If Jiang Chen really used his life to complain, Jiang Xuanji would definitely punish Jiang Chen severely, but he would also investigate this matter thoroughly.
Although Fourth Madam had suppressed the matter, no matter how one tried to explain it, Jiang Chen's salary had indeed been deducted for fifteen years. Given Jiang Xuanji's temper, he might punish Fourth Madam, but he would definitely kill Li Chen with a slap.
Thinking of this, Li Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath. He didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so arrogant.
Finally, Li Chen let out a breath and looked at Jiang Chen with a smile."So Young Master Jiang left a letter. However, Young Master Jiang must hand the letter to the Internal Affairs Department next time. Otherwise, there will be a misunderstanding.”
Li Chen chuckled.
Able to bend and stretch.
"Heh."
Jiang Chen chuckled. This laughter was filled with an indescribable contempt, but he didn't say anything else, because neither Li Chen nor Jiang Lang had the right to waste his time here.
At this moment, Jiang Lang still wanted to speak, but he was stopped by Li Chen.
"Go get his letter." Li Chen ordered a servant to retrieve the letter Jiang Chen had left behind.
Soon, Jiang Chen disappeared from the Jiang family, and the letter appeared in Li Chen's hand.
Opening the letter, there were only six words, and these six words caused Li Chen's expression to change.
Jiang Lang, who was standing at the side, was slightly surprised. Li Chen was an expert with an innate technique. It was just a letter, so why was it like this?
He looked over and his expression changed slightly.
Because the letter had three words written on it.
When the eaglet came out, the Kun Peng returned!
These six words.
The strokes were vast and vigorous, and the meaning of the words was even more difficult to describe.
At this moment, for some reason, Li Chen felt a little nervous.
