The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

When they heard that Jiang Fan not only recovered the grain tax, but also arrested Zhao, Ye, and Hou, the three people who actually lost the grain tax, the entire court was shocked!

All the court officials admired Jiang Fan very much, and many of them were willing to join him.

No one could have imagined that Jiang Fan would arrive at Hejian Mansion quietly and then solve the matter with lightning speed.

Before, they thought Jiang Fan couldn't solve the problem and was deliberately delaying it on the road, but they never thought that Jiang Fan would have another plan. How many people can match such a strategy?

The eldest prince, the third prince, the fifth prince, Ye Ren and other court officials who were attached to the prince were so shocked after hearing this that they were unable to recover for a long time.

They thought they had heard it wrong, but the news was passed back by their own men, so it was useless for them to disbelieve it. The eldest and third princes were so angry that they trembled all over and almost vomited blood.

They had finally established their power in the rich land of Hejianzhou, and could reap a lot of benefits from it every year. But now, it was all gone!

Ye Ren, Fan Xian and others stood there with trembling hands, with endless fear in their hearts.

Jiang Fan's methods scared them. In this battle for the throne, this future eighth prince would probably become their biggest nightmare!

As for the Sixth Prince's mansion, the Sixth Prince had also received the news at this time. He sat there quietly, as if he was petrified.

But his slightly shaking body showed that he was on the verge of anger. The terrifying murderous intent made the confidant who reported the news dare not move. He fell to the ground, shaking slightly.

"Good...good! My eighth brother is really extraordinary, his methods are amazing, he easily broke through the killing situation I prepared for him. It seems that I underestimated him!"

The Sixth Prince's cold voice came out of his mouth, and he almost gritted his teeth when speaking every word. The murderous intent in his eyes also reached its peak.

He had planned so carefully, but he didn't expect that in the end, it would be solved so easily. How could he accept this?

He secretly cursed those people for their incompetence, but soon he suppressed his anger, curled the corners of his mouth, and looked gloomy.

"Hmph... Eighth brother, although you have escaped the previous plot, you cannot escape the fatal disaster. As long as you show your head, that will be your death! This time, I want to see how you can break through the situation!"

"Besides, do you think that once you find the grain tax, everything will be settled? You are too naive! The grain will be destroyed! Haha..."

He looked up to the sky and chuckled, with a hint of viciousness on the corners of his mouth.

The Red Lotus Cult will never give up even though they have suffered such a huge loss. They will definitely not just try to kill Jiang Fan once.

Even if Jiang Fan escaped the killing, when the Red Lotus Cult revolted, the entire Hejian Prefecture would not be spared.

Jiang Fan is in Hejian Mansion, can he escape?

As for the food, if the Red Lotus Sect cannot use it for themselves, they will just burn it! It will definitely not be a bargain for Jiang Fan!

On the other hand, the people of the entire capital city also received news that Jiang Fan had solved the issue of grain tax in Hejian in one fell swoop and arrested three black sheep with solid evidence.

After all the people were stunned, there was jubilation, and everyone once again felt deep admiration and respect for Jiang Fan.

Some people who had doubted Jiang Fan felt extremely guilty and vowed that no matter what happened to Jiang Fan, they would never question the Eighth Prince again.

The truth is, the Eighth Prince's methods are unpredictable and unexpected. It seems that the outcome is a foregone conclusion, but he always has the possibility of a comeback!

When Chu Yan'er heard the news, she was dealing with various official documents sent back from Huainan Prefecture. She curled the corners of her mouth and smiled faintly.

Others may doubt Jiang Fan's ability, but his wife has complete faith in him.

However, what worried her at the moment was that unidentified people had appeared in several industrial parks in Huainan Prefecture.

The emergence of this situation made her feel a sense of crisis.

She knew that someone had set their sights on the industrial park. In addition to wanting to steal technology, it was possible that someone wanted to attack the industrial park.

The first person she thought of was Lao Liu! Only he could be so scheming.

The first prince, the third prince, the fifth prince and others, even if they wanted to, would not dare to touch Huainan Prefecture for the time being. Only this rat hiding in the dark dared to do so without any scruples.

Her eyes were cold, but the corners of her mouth curled up. She wanted to see what the Sixth Prince was up to.

Fortunately, Jiang Fan's layout in Huainan gave Chu Yan'er great convenience. Those workers could be formed into an army anytime and anywhere.

Today's Huainan Prefecture, under Chu Yan'er's instructions, has become like an iron barrel.

Several major industrial parks are so crowded that not even a fly can fly in. It is a foolish dream to want to spy on the secrets!

As for Chu Xinghe and Mrs. Chu who received the news, they smiled at each other, as if they had expected it.

At this time, they were already extremely satisfied with Jiang Fan, and were full of confidence!

They had long guessed that Jiang Fan would definitely be able to resolve the issue of Hejianzhou, but they did not expect that Jiang Fan would do it so quietly and easily.

After Emperor Yan learned about this, he laughed loudly in his study room. His face was full of excitement. He had actually been worried for some time.

When he heard that Jiang Fan was still on the road, he was extremely nervous, but out of trust in his son, he suppressed his anxiety until now.

Fortunately, his son Qilin did not disappoint him and solved the matter with lightning speed. Now, who dares to say that his son is not good enough? Which court official still holds a hesitant attitude and no longer depends on him?

He could imagine how prosperous Dayan would be after it was handed over to Jiang Fan in the future! He was almost impatient to pass on the throne!

However, after hearing about the Red Lotus Sect, Emperor Yan keenly realized that the Red Lotus Sect might be about to rebel! He was now worried about Jiang Fan's safety.

Once the Red Lotus Cult rebelled, Jiang Fan would be in danger in Hejian Prefecture. Given the hatred that the Red Lotus Cult had for Jiang Fan, they would never let him return to Beijing alive.

The Emperor of Yan quickly sent Chu Xinghe as a general and ordered him to urge the three continents around Hejianzhou, namely Bingzhou, Jingzhou and Dangyangzhou, to send troops to quell the rebellion.

There are a total of thirty-six prefectures in the three continents, with a military force of about five thousand in each continent, and a total of one hundred and eighty thousand troops, but the maximum number of troops that can be mobilized is ninety thousand!

After all, these local troops are still needed to maintain local stability, and it is impossible to transfer them all away.

As for Hejianzhou, it has thirteen prefectures. In addition to Hejian Prefecture, which has 10,000 permanent troops, the remaining twelve prefectures have different military strengths. Small prefectures have 3,000 city guards, while large prefectures have 6 to 7,000 city guards.

The total number of troops was about 60,000! But it was impossible to mobilize these troops at will.
