The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

In response to Su Yuanguang's commercial flattery, Jiang Fan just smiled faintly and said:

"Governor Su, are you here for the grain tax? You know where the grain tax went, but you are unable to take it back? You want me to help you?!"

Su Yuanguang looked at Jiang Fan blankly after hearing this. The shock in his heart made him speechless for a long time.

He didn't expect that Jiang Fan could tell his purpose in just one sentence, and even knew his situation. He didn't know whether to say that Jiang Fan was powerful or terrifying!

This is the true wisdom of winning from afar. He has been convinced by Jiang Fan.

"Since Your Highness knows what I am thinking, please feel free to give me some advice!" Su Yuanguang responded with a faint smile.

Su Yuqing and the Chu brothers, who were standing by, were listening to the conversation between the two with horror in their eyes.

Su Yuqing looked at Jiang Fan, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

"I wonder how many people Governor Su has under his command? What will you do after the grain tax is taken back?" Jiang Fan looked at Su Yuanguang and said.

"I have 2,000 men I can mobilize, they are the city guards. In addition, the largest granary in the north of the city is under my control. It can temporarily store grain. It is not a problem to store 600,000 or 700,000 shi. As long as we take back the grain, we can put it in there at any time."

Su Yuanguang hurried back and said this, his tone changed.

"However, the Red Lotus Cult stores the tax grain in six warehouses, and each warehouse is guarded by at least 500 people. If we seize one warehouse alone, it will alert the others. But if we disperse our forces, I don't have enough manpower to take back the grain."

"Your Highness, do you have any way to solve this problem?" At the end, Su Yuanguang looked at Jiang Fan expectantly.

Hearing this, Jiang Fan shook his head and said with a smile: "We have to take back the food. But not now...!"

"Moreover, just taking back the grain won't redress your grievances. After all, if someone accuses you of stealing the food and you have no choice but to return the grain, do you think you can justify yourself?"

Having said that, Jiang Fan looked at Su Yuanguang with a smile.

He not only wanted to take back the food, he also wanted to root out several forces in the entire Hejian Prefecture.

His brothers wanted to murder him, and if he didn't return the favor, he would be letting them down.

Moreover, he also wanted to clear Su Yuanguang of the charges.

Otherwise, Jiang Fan's trip to Hejian Mansion would be in vain! Things were not done perfectly!

Su Yuanguang looked at Jiang Fan with a little emotion after hearing this. He could not believe that the Eighth Prince in front of him could think so carefully and consider him. He admired and respected Jiang Fan even more in his heart.

"Then I wonder if Your Highness has any plan?" Su Yuanguang looked at Jiang Fan. At this moment, he was obviously more respectful!

"It should be soon! Governor Su might as well wait a little longer..." Jiang Fan smiled at Su Yuanguang, but he did not give a direct answer.

The grain tax is now in the hands of the Red Lotus Sect and is still safe.

Food is the lifeline of their rebellion. They will not touch any food unless it is absolutely necessary.

Jiang Fan now has to wait for the right opportunity and then give the enemy a fatal blow.

By then, not only Zhao, Ye, and Hou, but also the threat of the Red Lotus Cult in Hejian Prefecture will be resolved!

They could even take this opportunity to force the Red Lotus Sect to rise up early, and then completely eliminate it. Otherwise, the existence of an organization like the Red Lotus Sect would always be a major threat to Dayan.

He let the four major forces fight to the death, and he was also making plans for this. If the four forces didn't fight to the death, his people would not be able to enter the city quietly.

The four forces were unable to take care of him for the time being, which made it easier for him to act.

Su Yuanguang frowned when he heard this, and for a moment he didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Fan's words.

"Your Highness, you..." Su Yuanguang said hesitantly.

"No rush, there should be news soon..." Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Jiang Fan did not explain, but just smiled faintly.

At this moment, a figure landed in the pavilion. Her slender figure made everyone's eyes light up.

"It's almost all figured out! The recorded locations are all above. What do you want to do next?" Zhong Ling handed Jiang Fan a piece of paper and asked with a puzzled look.

She was sent by Jiang Fan to investigate several Red Lotus Sect's temples that attracted believers, and to also investigate the other party's methods of attracting believers.

She spent a whole day investigating all twelve Red Lotus Sect temples, and found out everything on the surface.

However, she didn't know what Jiang Fan wanted these things for.

Jiang Fan took the paper in his hand, read the contents, and curled the corners of his mouth.

It seems that the Red Lotus Cult can't wait any longer. His action of muddying the water in Hejian Prefecture has made the Red Lotus Cult feel the crisis.

They were preparing to speed up the uprising. Otherwise, if the water became more muddy and Jiang Fan disrupted the situation further, their plans for the uprising might be destroyed.

The above records the news that the Red Lotus Cult has increased its missionary efforts and recruited new members.

Jiang Fan was waiting for this opportunity. He was confident that everything would be settled today.

Even if Su Yuanguang didn't come to find him today, he would still go to find Su Yuanguang! Because today is the day to close the net!

He looked at Su Yuanguang and said, "Governor Su, are you interested in accompanying me to perform a big show?"

Su Yuanguang was stunned. He didn't understand what Jiang Fan meant. Acting? At this time, His Highness was still interested in this!

He wanted to complain in his heart, but he still nodded with a smile.

"I will follow your Highness's orders!"

Jiang Fan smiled when he heard this. He looked at the Chu brothers and said:

"Lao Liu, Xiao Qi, Yu Qing, are you ready with the things I asked you to prepare..."

Hearing Jiang Fan calling his daughter Yuqing so affectionately, Su Yuanguang's mouth twitched.

Seeing his daughter's shy face, her eyes were almost fixed on Jiang Fan.

Su Yuanguang sighed, not knowing whether to be thankful or sigh in frustration.

My daughter is very picky and almost no one can catch her eye. Otherwise, at the age of seventeen, she should have been married long ago!

But if his daughter didn't like someone, he wouldn't force her. He just wanted his daughter to be happy, but he didn't expect that the Eighth Prince had only been in Hejian Mansion for a few days and he had already seduced his daughter's soul away.

If Jiang Fan was not his niece's husband, or if he had not married yet, it would be fine to help them get married. But he didn't want his daughter to be a mistress!

But thinking back, if Jiang Fan became the emperor in the future, it wouldn't be a bad thing for his daughter to marry him. With a sigh, he decided to let nature take its course!

Upon hearing this, the Chu brothers and Su Yuqing nodded quickly and said in unison: "We are ready!"

The three of them didn't know what Jiang Fan wanted to do, but they didn't compromise on what Jiang Fan asked them to do. They had already prepared everything.

Su Yuanguang and his guards looked at Jiang Fan and the others with a bewildered look on their faces. For a moment they couldn't understand what Jiang Fan was up to.

Jiang Fan did not explain to Su Yuanguang. He called everyone to go out and rush towards the first target.
