Chapter 147 The fish is dead and the net is broken
"I'm waiting!" Jiang Zhiang frowned and said coldly, "If you file a complaint, I will immediately submit the account book of your embezzlement. Then, we will see how the person in the palace decides!"
"You!" Shangshu Gao always thought that he had Jiang Zhiang under control, so he had never been on guard against him. However, he did not expect that he still underestimated this man.
He would keep a portion of the stolen money obtained from the freight at Xigu Wharf every time it was delivered to Jingwei. Jiang Zhiang dared to say this, so he must have got something on his hands.
Jiang Zhiang was well aware of this leverage, so even if he acted a little arrogantly, Shangshu Gao would have no choice but to let it go!
I had been too stupid in the past, thinking about how much he had promoted me. But now it seems that I am as stupid as a cat or a dog!
The two of them parted ways, and Minister Gao had no choice but to return in the carriage with his servants in shame, as if nothing had happened!
But if things ended so simply, wouldn't it be a waste of Qin Haoran and Xue Yangyang's efforts?
"You have arranged a good job for this village chief!" Qin Haoran and Yangyang followed Shangshu Gao in the carriage and finally arrived at the halfway point on the mountain road.
"Jiang Zhiang has the leverage over Minister Gao. Even if Minister Gao suffers a loss this time, he won't say anything! But if he knew that Jiang Zhiang was planning to kill him, he would definitely not sit there and wait for death!"
Yangyang's analysis was very logical. She just wanted Qin Haoran to play the role of the killer sent by Jiang Zhiang. She turned around and glared at Qin Haoran with a pleading look!
"Master Qin, there are many forks in the road ahead. Just hit one of them and say something that will arouse Shangshu Gao's suspicion, then run away immediately!"
"I underestimated you. You are so cunning! But I like it!" Qin Haoran said nothing and disappeared in front of Yangyang in a flash with the breeze.
It only took a moment for Qin Haoran to finish his work and return to where Yangyang was.
"Let's go! That Gao is crying and begging me to let him go. I'm sure he will send people to clear out Jiang Zhiang's warehouse as soon as he returns to the capital. We just need to go with the flow and make them both die!"
Qin Haoran held the sword in both hands, feeling extremely happy. "Let's go! Let's go back to the village and wait!"
"Yeah!" Yangyang felt that he had been helped, and happily returned to the Ge Lao Village with Qin Haoran.
At this moment, Jiang Chi had already arrived at the Gelao Village. Seeing Qin Haoran and Yangyang appear at the gate of the Gelao Village, Jiang Chi immediately stepped forward to block Yangyang like a guardian.
"Qin Haoran, you are so good. I asked you to protect Miss Xue. Where did you take her?"
Qin Haoran spit out the straw in his mouth, frowned and snorted, "This village chief only agreed to that lousy general. When will it be your turn to show off your power here?"
Jiang Chi was trying to establish Tang Yuwei's authority, so he had to teach Qin Haoran a lesson. "Qin Haoran, last time I fought with the general to suppress the bandits, I didn't lose. What? Do you want to fight me again?"
"Another fight? Humph! This village chief has just finished his work and has no time to play with you."
“I don’t think you’d dare!” After teaching Qin Haoran a lesson, Jiang Chi turned to look at Yang Yang and said, “Miss Xue, the general asked me to take you to Mobei immediately! Let’s go now!”
Yangyang: "Now?"
"Why are you leaving?" Qin Haoran immediately gained strength when he heard that Jiang Chi was going to take Yangyang away. He stretched out his hand and pressed Jiang Chi's shoulder! "This village leader won't allow it!"
Jiang Chi waved away Qin Haoran's hand with a knife, then turned around and said, "What does it have to do with you?"
"What is none of my business? The general told me to escort Miss Xue." Qin Haoran winked at Yangyang behind Jiang Chi and spoke to Jiang Chi arrogantly.
"Since I'm here, there's no need for you to see Miss Xue off. Just do what you should do!" Jiang Chi didn't care about that!
"No! Miss Xue, she, she doesn't want to leave yet!" Jiang Chi was not willing to listen to any more words, so Qin Haoran winked at him again.
Yangyang originally wanted to deal with Jiang Zhiang's affairs before leaving, so she said, "Jiang Chi, I do have something else to do. Can I rest for a few days before leaving?"
"Yes!" Jiang Chi stood between the two of them, spinning back and forth like a top.
"Miss Xue, are you worried about Lord Zuo Xiang? Don't worry, the general is already on his way to Jingwei, and will arrive tomorrow if nothing goes wrong! Once the general arrives, the problems in Jingwei City will surely be solved!"
"So, the general has obtained the evidence, right?" Yangyang remembered what the Crown Princess had said, so she asked.
"Yes! So, to ensure your safety, you should come back to Mobei with me as soon as possible!"
Yangyang knew that Tang Yuwei was worried about her safety and afraid that something might happen.
But if she just fled to Mobei like this, and the things in Jingwei City were not properly resolved, how could she feel at ease?
It would be better for her to stay in Tong County and deal with Jiang Zhiang's matter. Letting the second princess lose a right-hand man would also be a help to Tang Yuwei!
"Jiang Chi, your general doesn't want anything to happen to me, but you and I don't want anything to happen to your general either! If you trust me, let's stay here for a few days and work with me to get rid of Jiang Zhiang. It won't be too late for us to return to Mobei!"
"This!" Jiang Chi has been following Tang Yuwei for quite some time and has always obeyed his orders. He has never made a decision that goes against the general's orders!
"Stop talking about this and that, let's go together. Are you afraid of losing Miss Xue?" Qin Haoran saw that the situation was promising, so he also tried to persuade her.
Jiang Chi thought about it and felt that it was feasible, "What do you need me to do?"
"Tonight, let's go burn down Jiang Zhiang's warehouse." Qin Haoran smiled evilly, with a comprehensive plan in mind.
"He will definitely think that it was Gao who did it! Then he will rush to Jingwei without waiting. When he is on his way to Jingwei, we will kill him and let his men run to Jingwei to report!"
"At that time, Gao, who has already been threatened by him, will naturally not give in. After hearing this report, the person in the palace will definitely doubt the morality of Shangshu Gao. Not to mention his dismissal and death, he will definitely become disloyal!"
Yangyang really wanted to give Qin Haoran a thumbs up. This was exactly the same logic as hers. "You really think ten steps ahead before you take one step! When you promised me to scare Shangshu Gao, did you think about what would happen next? "
"Yeah, same to you! We are a perfect match!" Qin Haoran couldn't help but talk nonsense after hearing Yangyang's praise.
Jiang Chi couldn't stand it any longer, "Who is the perfect match for you? Miss Xue and our general are the perfect match. Believe it or not, I will beat you to death!"
“Hey!” Qin Haoran raised his knife to block his face, fearing that Jiang Chi would draw his knife and chop him. “This village leader’s face is okay, are you jealous and want to cause trouble?”
Yangyang advised, "That's enough! You guys should go down the mountain now. It will be dark soon. Come back as soon as you finish your work!"
In Jinglinsi, Lord Left Prime Minister, who had been detained for many days, finally welcomed Princess Xuanyi today.
He knew that sooner or later he would wait for this day in prison.
"Your Highness!"
"Get up!" Yu Wen Yuehua stood proudly in front of the left prime minister, "Please ask the old lady and other prisoners nearby to leave. I have something to discuss with Lord Zuo Xiang!"
At a command, several guards quickly cleared out the people, leaving only the left prime minister.
"The Left Prime Minister has been working very hard these past few days!" Yu Wen Yue Hua was always so hypocritical, "I don't know how Second Miss Xue is doing in the young marquis's mansion. She's pregnant now, so I'm afraid it will be even harder for her to accept the young marquis' request!"
The left prime minister stood where he was, listening to Yu Wen Yuehua's words, his worries growing sharply.
Yuwen Yuehua wanted him to have this kind of mentality. Seeing that he did not answer, she said, "If Miss Xue is really your child, then it's worth it. It's such a pity that you lost everything for a completely unrelated person!"
"Your Highness, you, you know?"
"This palace? Know what?"
