Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

"Aren't you going with me?" Xiao Jiangran was a little surprised, his eyes slightly open, and he looked rarely flustered.

Shen Jin nodded: "You once said that we would meet again if we were destined to."

Although the consciousness of this world has been offline, there is no guarantee that he still has some tricks up his sleeve. If Shen Jin follows Xiao Jiangran, it will give him a handle and cause him unnecessary difficulties.

Although, Shen Jin was also reluctant to give up his energy.

But for Xiao Jiangran's future, she should be content and be an ordinary NPC.

Xiao Jiangran, on the other hand, had a lot of extraneous thoughts. After all, after the incident at Changhe Mansion, he had already discovered that Shen Jin's abilities were special and he might not be human.

If it's an immortal, it's fine, but if it's a demon...

In the past, he could say frankly that he entered and exited government offices in order to usher in a peaceful and prosperous era. But now, he had selfish motives.

Only by possessing the highest power can one protect a demon from the hatred of the world.

Of course, he would also advise her to be good. As long as she did not make mistakes, no one could touch her.

If she made a mistake... Xiao Jiangran clenched his fists, wrinkling his clothes, and it took a long time for him to release the strength.

He smoothed out the wrinkles patiently, showing no sign of his inner turmoil.

"The mountains are high and the road is long. Please take care and we will meet again someday." Xiao Jiangran bowed.

Shen Jin naturally didn't know that she had become a monster in his mind. Humans are like this, always having an inexplicable sense of ritual at certain times.

Obviously, they just had a simple separation and would meet again at the next plot point.

The autumn rain is like needles, floating down from a distance. In a short while, a thin layer of mist covers people, like a hazy halo.

Shen Jin suddenly sensed a sense of solemnity, and began to approve of this ceremony, which she had never performed before.

I imitated Xiao Jiangran, stretched out my hands, clasped my fists, and then bowed.

Suddenly the wind started to blow.

……

The affairs of the Zhou and Chen families have come to an end for the time being, and the new prefect is yet to be determined.

I thank you for reporting this to Your Majesty. According to Your Majesty's instructions, suitable officials will be transferred from the prefects of Yongji and Rongshan states.

The inspection was delegated to the Supervisory Office. Xie Lan, the person in charge, assigned this task to Xiao Jiangran.

Xiao Jiangran’s next destination is Yongji Prefecture.

Yongji and Rongshan are strategically located. Although they belong to Changhe Prefecture, they are located closer to the capital. Because of their mountainous terrain, they serve as the "last line of defense for the capital," making them a rare strategic location in a non-border area.

Add to that the iron and coal mines in the two states, and their importance is evident.

As the governor of two places, his power and weight are no less than that of a prefect.

Once the position is vacant, there will be no peace in the capital.

The emperor was already old and was waiting to see who would succeed him. He had three adult sons, each crowned a king, and five other princes over the age of fifteen.

The three princes who have been crowned as kings are the most competitive.

The Crown Prince, son of the late Empress, was the eldest and legitimate son. Unfortunately, his mother's family was in decline, and he was a coward. Upon his coronation, he was only given the title of Prince You. Wasn't this a sign of disapproval? However, Prince You's prudence and respect for etiquette earned him the support of many conservatives and clan members.

The Second Prince, born to Consort De, was granted the title of Prince An. His support lay with the Guanghe Chen clan, whose mother, Consort De, was also Chen Yue'e, the daughter of Grand Tutor Chen. Grand Tutor Chen was both a leader of the civil officials and a representative of the aristocratic families, and the power behind him was clear. They would do whatever it took to help Prince An ascend to the throne.

The Third Prince, born to Consort Xian, was granted the title of Prince Ping, and his backing was the Cabinet's Chief Minister, Ye Yunzhong. His mother, Ye Yu, was Ye Yunzhong's daughter. While the Chief Minister's rank wasn't as high as that of Grand Preceptor, he held the Cabinet directly under the Emperor's control, making him his most trusted confidant. Ye Yunzhong's favor also led to Ye Yu's rise to power, allowing the Third Prince to capitalize on this opportunity.

Everyone wants to be the emperor, and there's nothing wrong with fighting. There are still a few troublesome people in the harem, and they want to see these three people fighting, preferably with all three losing, so that they can benefit.

What is even more coincidental is that the current prefect of Yongji is a student of Master Chen, and the prefect of Rongshan is related by marriage to the Ye family.

Xiao Jiangran's trip was bound to be interfered with by many forces. He was targeted as soon as he stepped onto the passenger ship to Yongji.

……

Shen Jin had prepared for the worst and rushed to Rongshan Prefecture in advance, quickly confirming his beggar status.

In Xiao Jiangran's growth line, he will refuse the recruitment of the second prince's lineage in Yongji, politely decline their request to replace the prefect of Rongshan, and diligently serve as a neutral person to investigate the two officials.

Zhou Cong's son Zhou Xingzhu was dismissed from his official position due to his father's crime. His close friend Kong Yun felt unfair for him, and when he learned that Zhou Xingzhu was only a small seventh-rank official, he informed his brother Kong Lin and tried to make trouble for Zhou Xingzhu in Rongshan, preferably to kill him.

Kong Lin then served as the Tongzhi of Rongshan Prefecture.

Rongshan is located to the west of Yongji and is surrounded by mountains on three sides. There is a large wasteland in the north. It is the location of the iron mine and a good place to kill people and dispose of bodies.

Kong Lin was not stupid enough to personally pick up a sword and kill Xiao Jiangran. Considering his status as an imperial inspector, Kong Lin chose to bribe a caravan to avoid getting into trouble.

Lead Xiao Jiangran into the wilderness, then look for an opportunity to leave him behind.

This plan is extremely vicious.

And after his actions, Xiao Jiangran's disappearance was attributed to a normal accident.

While killing Xiao Jiangran for revenge, he also ensured that he was cleared of all charges.

Unfortunately, Xiao Jiangran was not destined to die. He found an oasis and met a general of the Northern Army who was passing by. With the help of this connection, he entered the core iron ore production area.

Most importantly, he would find evidence that the Third Prince had secretly opened an iron mine and stockpiled weapons for military training.

Shen Jin's task interface was refreshed as soon as he stepped into Rongshan, and a bunch of people came out like pulling out carrots.

Zhang Ru, the prefect of Rongshan, Ye Yunzhong, the chief minister, and Zhu Qiyan, the Prince of Ping.

Shen Jin pointed at the three radishes and felt a little tired.

They have killed the princes, and there are only five of them.

What's more, with Xiao Jiangran's current status, he can't touch the Prime Minister and Prince Heping at all.

"It's better to put the main storyline aside for now."

"After dealing with Kong Lin and Zhang Ru, go to other places to refresh some side objectives."

The wind was strong, blowing the yellow sand and settling it on her head. The messy and dusty appearance made her look like a miserable and haggard beggar, which was very consistent with her character.

Shen Jin spat twice, spit out the sand, and huddled under the camel.

She sat cross-legged, with her hands in her pockets, looking relaxed.

There were golden balls the size of jelly beans floating around her mouth, which landed on their own when she opened her mouth, completing the feeding.

"It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality." She sighed. She used to chew candy beans by handful, but now she can only chew them one by one.

"Xiao Huang, do you think he will be scared and cry if he is lost in the wilderness?"

Shen Jin looked at the camel.

The camel didn't answer. It just snorted and chewed the grass roots leisurely.

Shen Jin also chewed, making a crunching sound, his desire to win overflowing.

Sadly, the limited edition peach flavor from that day never appeared again. She hid the pink and gold jelly beans in the innermost container.

After all, if the taste changes, you will have one less pill to eat. You have to eat slowly.
