At the beginning, I saved a little mute

"Third Prince."

Jiang Zao lowered his voice and bowed slightly in greeting.

"Miss Jiang, you're welcome. Please stand up."

"The etiquette cannot be abolished."

Jiang Zao answered seriously.

At this time, the two stood in an open area.

The view is good, they can see the surrounding scenery and others can see them.

It's just that the distance is too far and I can't hear their conversation clearly.

Xie Chengjing looked at Jiang Zao carefully.

He was very excited just now, but now that he had calmed down a little, he could see some clues.

Looking at the dust on the corner of Jiang Zao's skirt and her loose hair.

Thinking back to their caravan, they seemed to be in a hurry, but the driver seemed injured.

Huai Jian: Woohoo, the Third Prince has forgotten me.

His heart sank and anxiety flashed in his eyes.

"Miss Jiang, what happened to you?"

Jiang Zao was surprised at his sharpness.

Looked at him in surprise.

"The Third Prince has good eyesight."

She had something on her mind, so she didn't say much and just told him directly.

"I ran into some trouble in Qingshui Town, and now I have to rush to Yao County to solve it."

After a pause, Jiang Zao spoke somewhat uncomfortably.

"If things don't go as smoothly as I imagined, I may have to borrow the Third Prince's name. I hope the Third Prince will forgive me."

Xie Chengjing's heart suddenly sank.

Jiang Zao has a lot of ideas and ordinary things are not difficult for her.

Is there anything else that needs to be done in his name?

I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter.

So I asked urgently.

"What's the matter? Is it difficult? Tell me and I'll solve it."

There was concern in his voice.

Jiang Zao raised his eyebrows slightly.

He said it honestly.

"A little thing."

Xie Chengjing glared at her.

Jiang Zaocai said again.

"It's not a small matter, I just encountered a little trouble. I just have to borrow your name, the Third Prince. Time is urgent, and I was going to tell you later. Since I have encountered it now, I will tell you first."

Although the matter of borrowing the third prince's name had not happened yet, Jiang Zao felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the person involved, and just stared at his toes.

"You said that since we met, it was fate. If I go and solve it myself, wouldn't it be better than you using my name to solve it?"

Jiang Zao hesitated.

"this......"

The third prince's enthusiasm came unexpectedly.

Although the correspondence over the past two years made Jiang realize that he was a very good leader.

But most of the communication between them is about how to make money.

Could it be that the Third Prince values ​​a subordinate who can make money so much?

"You said."

Xie Chengjing took a step forward, and the feeling of oppression came out instantly.

Jiang Zao calmed himself down and spoke after thinking for a while.

"We were in Qingshui Town, and we encountered the mayor, who was leading a group of people to rob the convoy. They threatened and intimidated us, so I had no choice but to shoot the mayor."

The third prince's face became increasingly gloomy.

Jiang Zao gritted his teeth and said.

"I know human life is precious, but with dozens of people surrounding me from front and back, I had no other choice but to protect the convoy and its contents."

There was silence in the air.

Jiang Zao's originally calm heart gradually became uneasy.

What does it mean that the third prince is silent?

Should we capture her and hand her over to the authorities?

No, it's impossible.

He still needs me to help him accumulate wealth.

I am still useful now, he won't abandon me.

Just as Jiang Zao was daydreaming.

Then I heard the voice of the third prince ringing in my ears.

"Are you hurt?"

"What?" Jiang Zao didn't hear clearly.

"I asked if you were hurt?"

When Xie Chengjing thought of that scene, his heart suddenly tightened.

He couldn't imagine what would have happened if Jiang hadn't acted decisively and shot the mayor.

How serious the consequences would be.

"I wasn't injured, but a few guards were. However, Dongxue has bandaged them and stopped the bleeding. They are all fine."

Jiang Zao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't blame her.

Xie Chengjing closed his eyes.

Jiang Zao's voice continued to reach my ears.

"However, in addition to the mayor, there was also a middle-aged man leading the group. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes. Those people were about to retreat, but he continued to incite the crowd. I had no choice but to shoot him."

Jiang Zao bit his lip and said worriedly.

"Looking at his attire, he doesn't fit in with the people around him, and the mayor seems to listen to him. Could he be some important person? Third Prince, do you know anything?"

Apart from the mayor, Jiang Zao didn't know the identity of the middle-aged man. After just one encounter, Jiang Zao judged that his status should be higher than that of the mayor. He was afraid that he was the commander-in-chief of the dam construction.

But he dresses more like a wealthy businessman.

This made Jiang Zao a little confused.

"If he is an important person, will I get you into trouble?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Zao really became worried.

But she did not regret shooting the hidden arrow.

"will not."

Xie Chengjing's face turned livid.

When Jiang Zao mentioned the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, he had already guessed who that person was.

It was the person that the prince had placed here this time—Yang Danian.

In name, Yang Danian was an important candidate carefully selected by the prince to supervise the levee together with Xie Chengjing. In fact, he was just a new brother of Fengyi in the prince's mansion.

Fengyi was quite resourceful and managed to coax the prince into paying some attention to her, thus securing a position for her brother.

Does the emperor know?

Of course the emperor knew about it, but it was just a matter between the two brothers.

As long as the prince does not suffer any loss, the emperor always turns a blind eye.

What's more, the emperor believed from the bottom of his heart that the prince was very outstanding. Even if he just randomly appointed someone, what would others dare to say?

So this thing, this person.

It just made Xie Chengjing a joke and a person who was not worthy of being used in the eyes of the emperor.

Concubine Shun was also happy.

If Xie Chengjing did his job well, she would at most be credited with good instruction. If he did not do his job well, it would be Xie Chengjing's own fault. It would be good enough that she did not make things difficult for him. How could she care whether Xie Chengjing had any difficulties or needed help?

So, when this person came.

On the surface, Xie Chengjing gave him the so-called decision-making power on major matters, while he himself was in charge of the operations in secret.

He just drinks some wine and looks at flowers on the surface, and it's hard to find any fault with him.

This time, it was because of his subordinates' report that the guy surnamed Yang used his name.

In the towns surrounding Yao County, they plundered the people's wealth and wealth, causing widespread public resentment.

He just hurried over from Zhongzhou.

They traveled quickly all the way without even entering Yao County, and went straight to Qingshui Town, just to capture Yang Danian.

If that Yang guy doesn't change his bad habits, he doesn't mind locking him up until the dam is completed.

At this moment, Xie Chengjing couldn't help but feel secretly grateful in his heart.

so far so good.

Fortunately, he rushed here as soon as he received the news.

Otherwise, not only would Jiang Zao be missed, but he might also put Jiang Zao in more danger.

The magistrate of Yao County is also a ruthless guy.

He dealt with him several times, and each time he wished he could send him to jail immediately.

But now that person is still useful.

At the same time, he secretly hated himself for not setting off earlier.

That way, I could get to Jiang Zao in time and protect her safety.

Those rabble who pointed their knives at Jiang Zao will not escape punishment.

He will catch them one by one, and not one will be missed.
