"Oh!"
Xie Yunshan: "This actually happened, we must investigate it thoroughly!"
The man slammed the cup onto the table, and the warm tea splashed onto the back of his hand and the tabletop. A few drops fell onto Jiang An's skirt.
The little baby was not frightened, and a small flame ignited in his almond eyes.
She pinched the edge of her clothes that was stained with light yellow in her fat hands, and in her heart she had already greeted the whole family of General Xie.
This is the new clothes that Nianniang just changed herself into this morning. It is the most popular style that Butler Sun found in the South.
Very expensive!
"Are you sick?"
The childish voice rang out in the silent hall.
Xie Yunshan had never been scolded so openly before. The pride of the aristocratic family had already made his eyes frost-covered.
The heroic young man turned around and met two pairs of murderous eyes, one big and one small, from Jiang Jichen and Jiang An.
Jiang An didn't give her father any chance to perform, and stared at Xie Yunshan with her beautiful eyes.
She was not afraid of the coldness in his eyes. She pointed at her soiled dress with her fat fingers and spoke very sincerely.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Jiang An is so kind~"
"My uncle can't even hold a teacup. My dad said it's a sign of weakness..."
"I advise uncle not to... um..." (Indulge in women...)
Xie Yunshan's forehead was bulging with veins, and he finally couldn't stand it anymore and covered the mouth of this dumpling.
Jiang An: He’s anxious! He’s anxious!
The next moment, a strong wind blew past, and Jiang Jichen used 50% of his strength to chop the big hand covering Tuanzi's mouth horizontally with one hand.
At the same time, the long sword of Holang behind him was half unsheathed.
Xie Yunshan's breath was choked, and he suddenly stepped back.
He hugged his right hand in astonishment, and stopped the guard who was drawing his sword with his eyes.
No matter how noisy it is, the real work has not yet begun.
Besides, he can’t beat that madman Jiang Jichen!
Xie Yunshan straightened his sleeves and instantly became the noble young man again.
He teased Jiang Jichen, who had already taken Tuanzi into his arms, in a light-hearted tone.
"Tsk, I just touched her. Your daughter isn't made of ceramic. Why are you so nervous?"
"The prince is so cruel to his subordinates. If I hadn't dodged this blow, I wouldn't be able to lift a sword for the rest of my life!"
Jiang Jichen turned a deaf ear to his sarcastic words, half-closed his cold eyes, and said in a cold tone, "General Xie, if you continue to make trouble and delay me from finding out the truth about the arson, don't say that I will have you thrown out!"
You said I treated my subordinates badly and tried to sow discord between them.
I will denounce you in front of all the officials for not doing your job and trying to take advantage of the situation!
Xie Yunshan sneered, and then glanced at the dumpling that Jiang Jichen was holding in his arms.
Jiang An turned his head and made a face at him, smiling brightly, with his eyes clearly saying: I have my father to support me, what about you?
Xie Yunshan: …
He took a deep breath and rubbed the blue veins on his forehead, "Someone, bring up the kerosene barrel!"
The soldier first looked at the prince's expression, and when he saw that he had no objection, he slowly stepped forward.
There was a thick layer of grease on the kerosene barrel, and in some places the original appearance of the barrel could not be seen clearly.
It exudes a strong smell of burning fat, which irritates the stomach and intestines.
Jiang An pushed aside her father's hand that was blocking her view, and used Jiang Jichen's hands as support, and looked down curiously.
Xie Yunshan: "Nan Shang kerosene is strictly controlled. Only the military reserves kerosene in case of combat needs."
"The military rules are strict. Kerosene can only be used with the commander's order or a document with the commander's seal..."
Holland: "What do you mean!"
Huo Lang shouted loudly, frightening the officials below him so much that they trembled.
He was seen holding the long knife at his waist with one hand, as if he would draw his knife and kill this wolf cub Xie Yunshan if he said anything slanderous about the prince!
The governor of Chongzhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurried forward to comfort him, "General Huo... calm down, please calm down!"
This post station can't stand you demolishing it again!
"Kerato is not only available in the barracks of my national defense army, but also in the garrisons of other places..."
Jiang Jichen waved his hand and asked someone to carry the oil barrel away. He handed tea to Jiang An and his tone was obviously gentler than before.
"Drink less, it's not bitter, it takes away the taste."
What else Xie Yunshan wanted to say was nothing more than taking this opportunity to make Jiang Jichen relax so that he could do what he wanted.
Jiang Jichen didn't give him a chance at all. His cold eyes stared straight at Xie Yunshan, as if he wanted to see through him.
"General Xie, if you want to check the arsenal and account books of the National Defense Army camp, I advise you to give up the idea..."
"The military's armaments are a secret of military intelligence. Unless there is a written order from the Emperor, otherwise..."
"According to military regulations, anyone who moves without permission will be beheaded in front of the tent and his body will be exposed for seven days as a warning!"
Xie Yunshan frowned.
He knew that the prince in front of him did not threaten him.
If he really made a move one day, Jiang Jichen would probably come to kill him without stopping!
The two above are competing secretly. One is a prince who is decisive in killing, and the other is the second son of the Xie family who walks sideways in Kyoto.
Qian Yuanwailang's legs were shaking, and he looked so scared that he became thinner...
Jiang An secretly groaned twice, kindly trying to restore her father's friendly and peaceful image.
Everyone: Are you sure your father has this thing?
"Don't be afraid, my father means that this matter has nothing to do with him."
"Although the post station caught fire, no one was injured, and there was no loss."
"If my father had done this, we wouldn't be able to stand here alive!"
Qian Yuanwailang and others: Thank you, I feel comforted.
Jiang An smiled sweetly, "General Huo, am I right?"
Huo Lang nodded vigorously when he was called, agreeing with the young lady's words.
"Miss, you are right! If the prince had done this, I would not have rushed to lead the team to put out the fire last night!"
According to Jiang An's inference, Jiang Jichen set the fire and Huo Lang put out the fire, which is completely contradictory.
Jiang Jichen gently patted Tuanzi's back, and listened to her resounding words of defense, with a barely noticeable arc at the corner of his mouth.
This was the first time in his life that someone protected him, and it was actually a three-year-old kid...
In a flash, Xie Yunshan stiffened his neck and retorted, "How come no one was hurt!"
He pointed in the direction of Qian Yuanwailang, "You said, what about that military department's Xu..."
Lord Qian replied tremblingly: "Minister Xu You of the Ministry of War..."
"Yes, it's him, he's not injured!"
"And the military pay account books in his room. Who just told this general that the account books were turned over?"
Lord Qian (wanting to cry): "General, it is your humble servant..."
Jiang Jichen glanced at Xie Yunshan, with a flash of suspicion in his eyes.
Sometimes I really don’t understand whether this prime minister’s son and grandson of Master Xie is really stupid or not.
Jiang An also smiled secretly, the divine assist is coming~
Jiang Jichen: "General Xie, guess who should have the military pay account book originally?"
"Yesterday, the Right Assistant Minister Xu came to my house with the military pay account book."
"He angered the king,"
"I will throw him out along with the account books."
"General Xie, what you mean is that you didn't want what I brought to your door yesterday, but you came to this post station to set fire and secretly look through the account books?"
He pulled the corner of his mouth and said calmly, "Do you think this king is you?"
Stupid!
Xie Yunshan: What he said makes sense, but I was scolded!
The young master's patience was running out, and he couldn't beat this guy.
He changed his posture irritably and rolled his eyes at Jiang Jichen.
"Then tell me, who did this?"
"Because the military pay account books are temporarily stored at the post station, the governor has assigned a number of yamen runners to guard the area."
"I have also assigned a small team to guard the post station temporarily,"
The people who had been in and out of the post station in the past two days were nothing more than the postmaster, the clerks, and the officials from the capital and their guards.
Officials and guards had to rely on the imperial permit issued by the court to enter and leave, and postmasters and petty clerks had to be searched when entering and leaving.
"How did you get such a big barrel of kerosene into the post station?"
The governor Wen Shoushi said: "I questioned the postmaster this morning and there was nothing suspicious at the post station these past two days..."
"There is no kerosene in the camp of the King's National Defense Army. It can only be possible that,"
"The kerosene was originally in the post station, or in the team that was escorting the military pay."
"The post station will not inspect the carriages and bags of officials."
Jiang Jichen's words made sense, and it was precisely because they made sense that they frightened everyone.
The burning of the post station and the loss of the military pay account books are not crimes that the few petty officials present could bear!
