Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince

Many people came to visit Wen Jiu while he was recovering from his injuries, among whom the prince came the most often.

"I am back."

When Qiao Shinian came back, he saw Wen Jiu had already gotten out of bed and was walking around.

"How is it? Is Shunpin okay? Is the little princess pretty?" Wen Jiu turned his head and looked at Qiao Shinian.

Qiao Shinian nodded and looked at Wen Jiu who was slowly walking towards him: "Why don't you lie down? Are you not fully recovered yet?"

"It's scabbed, and I can't help but want to scratch it." Wen Jiu walked up to Qiao Shinian and patted her shoulders with both hands, "Sister, I'm so bored~ Let's leave the palace in two days."

"Hmm?" Qiao Shinian wanted to walk away, but Wen Jiu put his arm around her.

"You forgot that we owe Lu Ping a favor! He lent us the banknotes at that time."

"No, it's only several thousand taels!" Qiao Shinian looked at Wen Jiu in confusion, "Be quiet, get up early, and let's leave early."

"Don't worry, I've set a date. We'll leave on the 23rd of the first lunar month. There's still some time." Wen Jiu said and slowly moved to the side. After a while, he turned to look at Qiao Shinian: "Sister, in five days, the Zhou Kingdom delegation will leave Beijing and go back. Do you want to go and see it?"

"Then go and have a look."

Qiao Shinian turned around and said, "I'm going back. Be careful."

After Qiao Shinian left, Wen Jiu looked at the empty house and said, "Come out."

"Oh, my nephew, I won't hide and won't disturb you from talking." Feng Tianmo came out from behind the curtain with a smile on his face.

Wen Jiu ignored his servile look and said, "Let's talk about serious matters."

"Oh, nephew, please sit down." Feng Tianmo diligently took several cushions and placed them on the chair, motioning Wen Jiu to sit down.

"There are four counties in Xingzhou, and two major forces are entrenched there." Feng Tianmo took out a detailed map of Xingzhou and placed it on the table. "Jiang family, Jiang Shang, former Minister of the Imperial Household Department, a third-rank official. Although he retired and returned to his hometown, he has many friends and students in the court."

Feng Tianmo pointed to one of the mansions and said, "This is his mansion, which is only one street away from your palace. I heard that this man is a treacherous person with evil intentions. He was impeached many times and was allowed by His Majesty to return to his hometown to retire two years ago. He is 51 years old. I heard that he has several opera troupes in his mansion, so he is not idle even in his old age."

"The other one is a little farther away from you, living in the neighboring Hongdong County. He is Xie Huaili from the Xie family, the former Minister of Rites. The current Minister of Rites is his son. He returned to his hometown seven years ago to retire. He is a little older now, already seventy-three. He is an upright person, but a little pedantic."

Wen Jiu listened quietly, he had known this information for a long time, what he wanted to know was how bad Feng Tianmo's ideas could be.

"My little nephew, you are short of money. I think the Jiang family is the best fat piece of meat. Jiang Shang amassed a lot of money when he was an official in the court, so now he can enjoy such a fairy-like life when he returns."

Feng Tianmo first glanced at Wen Jiu's face, and when he saw that he didn't react, he continued, "Let's use the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole is behind him. He will be our future money bag.

I heard that he is going to hold a full moon banquet for his grandson next month. If we hurry up on the road, we should be able to catch up. If you are assassinated in his house by then, he will not be able to explain it even if he has a mouth. If you are injured in his house, you will be in danger..."

Seeing that Wen Jiu seemed puzzled, he quickly said: "For those with more serious injuries, we should openly accuse them of wanting to murder the prince, raid their homes, and investigate the traitors! Brother-in-law, you should prepare to announce the news in advance. You are going to Xingzhou for the people, so that everyone will not go hungry. Anyone who wants to assassinate you on the way is a traitor from the enemy country.

They are all enemy assassins who don't want the people of Chuwen to live a good life with enough food and clothing. Then you were assassinated in Jiang Shang's house and your life is in danger. Do you think he is a traitor?"

Wen Jiu did not comment. This was the first time he met someone as insidious as him. The point was that Feng Tianmo asked him to act with his life.

"Hehe, I know what you want to say, nephew, but aren't we short of money? You have to build roads, reservoirs, and renovate rivers. All of these are money-burning tasks, and they can't be solved without a million taels." Feng Tianmo looked at Wen Jiu with a bitter face.

Wen Jiu smiled and patted Feng Tianmo on the shoulder: "Uncle Master is right."

Feng Tianmo was stunned. Wen Jiu agreed to risk his life so easily?

"As for assassins, the only ones I can use are Haruyuki and Yueyu. Let Yueyu lead the assassination. Let me think... let's use a crossbow and shoot from a long distance. This way it won't be too fake, and even if someone suspects it, there will be no evidence. Then let her shoot an arrow at my heart. No one will doubt the effect."

"Ah? Heart? Junior Brother, this is not a joke. What if you, the maid, don't handle it well, then won't you be in danger?!" Feng Tianmo was shocked. Wen Jiu was even crazier than he thought!

He looked at Wen Jiu's smiling face with shock, and had a bad feeling in his heart. Sure enough, the next moment, the words from Wen Jiu's mouth made him open his eyes wide.

"Of course I was in danger, but as my uncle, I saw my nephew in trouble. I was powerless and could only use my body to block the fatal sword for my nephew. Then I was furious and the Jiang family was in trouble."

Looking at Wen Jiu's opening and closing mouth, Feng Tianmo didn't understand how Wen Jiu could say such cold words and block them with his body?

Haha, even if it was the master who was shot by the arrow, he would only put his own safety first.

"My nephew, regarding this matter, I think you should let your uncle think about it again. I'm sure there will be a better solution." Feng Tianmo stood up to comfort Wen Jiu.

Wen Jiu's smile did not diminish: "Don't worry, you are my dear uncle, how could I let you die? I will naturally be well prepared for you and will definitely not let you die. This matter is settled. If Uncle Master has other ways to get along, we can save them and use them on other people. It just so happens that we haven't left the capital yet, so we can blackmail the children of the noble families in the capital."

"No, no... this..."

Feng Tianmo was about to say something when he saw Wen Jiu stand up.

"Okay, uncle master is tired too. Go down and think about it carefully. I will also move a little and try to get better soon." Wen Jiu waved his hand to see him off.

Feng Tianmo had a bitter face. After spending these days with Wen Jiu, he knew that Wen Jiu was a man of his word.

"Uncle Master, don't worry. Just hold me when the time comes. My left side is your right side. I will just shoot through your right chest. Then we can get a large compensation." Wen Jiu stood on tiptoes and patted Feng Tianmo's shoulder, staring at him with trust. "You are my only uncle Master. How could I let anything happen to you?"

Feng Tianmo waved his hand with a bitter face: "Let me think about it again."

Watching Feng Tianmo walk out in a daze, the solemnity on Wen Jiu's face gradually disappeared, and a comfortable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Although Feng Tianmo’s idea was bad, it still suited his wishes this time.

His ideas were much more complicated. He would first let Yu Changming's people form a killer group, kill a wave of rich and unkind gentry in various counties, and then establish an assassination organization after gaining some reputation. As long as they were paid, they would do things for them.

This assassination organization had to be high-profile, and then one careless move led to the Jiang family being wiped out by an enemy. A tragedy occurred, and he took the initiative to investigate for some time, and then stated that he found nothing.

At most he would get scolded, but unexpectedly Feng Tianmo provided him with a new idea.

He also collected some intelligence about Jiang Shang when he was still an official in the capital. It was obvious that Jiang Shang was a parasite of the country who had embezzled a lot of money and deserved his death.
