Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child
Chapter 266 Huaizhi, this is a brilliant plan!
About half an hour later, Jingzhao Yin Feng Gui broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly brought people to Prince Jin's Mansion. After checking the tragic situation at the scene, he felt very nervous.
Feng Gui is now worried about his official hat. Such a big thing has happened in Prince Jin's Mansion, and his life is in danger.
Li Qi happened to be woken up in the middle of the night. Seeing that Jingzhao Yin came so slowly, Li Qi spoke in a sarcastic tone, saying that ever since his prince was injured while protecting the country, the officials of Yudu, big and small, did not take his prince seriously.
Now that the assassin has entered, if the guards had not fought to the death to protect their master, by the time the Jingzhao Yin arrived with his men, Prince Jin's Mansion would have been burned down.
……
In short, Feng Gui became even more frightened, and even more anxious after the investigation. None of the people who came were alive, and some of them died tragically, seemingly from poisoning, which was weird. After Chu Zuo came and examined the bodies, he couldn't explain it either.
He could only humbly move the corpse out of Prince Jin's mansion, order people to clean up Prince Jin's mansion, and then leave with the people and the corpse in a grand manner.
He was so anxious that he had to go back and write a heartfelt memorial to let His Majesty know that this matter happened suddenly and he did not deliberately neglect his duties!
Jiang Jin and Mu Jiaojiao returned to the bedroom. After all, Prince Jin was assassinated and seriously injured. Mu Jiaojiao, a woman, was scared out of her wits. How could she accompany him, the Jingzhao Yin, to investigate the case and catch the assassin!
In reality, the couple was lying on the bed, snuggling up to each other in the dim candlelight.
"Prince Jin, it seems that being Princess Jin is a high-risk job!"
Mu Jiaojiao looked at the tragic scene before, her heart was calm and her expression did not change at all, but the tone of her voice at this moment was half fear and half teasing.
"My lady is right. My husband is still Prince Jin, so it's even more dangerous every day. My lady must be a good husband!"
But Jiang Jin, this fox, didn't play by the rules. After hearing what Mu Jiaojiao said, he buried his head in Mu Jiaojiao's chest and nudged her in a muffled voice. His tone was even softer and more fearful than Mu Jiaojiao's.
Mu Jiaojiao looked at the pretentious man in front of her, and the corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously. She sighed, touched Jiang Jin's head, and said with a bit of helplessness in her tone:
"Prince Jin, you are a real man. Letting a weak woman protect you will damage your reputation!"
"Ha ha……"
Hearing this, Jiang Jin laughed from the bottom of his chest. It was a low laugh. He raised his head and looked at Mu Jiaojiao with an even more sincere tone.
"My dear, you bought me. In other words, I am your gigolo, not a real man!"
Mu Jiaojiao looked at his shameless appearance and reached out to pinch Jiang Jin's face, which was as warm as the bright moon. She really wanted to see how thick his face was.
"Alright, alright, this princess will protect you well, Prince Jin the pretty boy!"
In the end, Mu Jiaojiao was defeated. She admitted that she lost to the famous Prince Jin, who called himself a pretty boy, in terms of shamelessness!
"Hehehe..."
Jiang Jin's trick succeeded, and he looked at his wife holding her forehead with a smile on her face.
…………
After some private banter, the couple finally talked about the serious business of the night.
"Ajin, do you remember when Jianjia was also poisoned in Lihua Village?"
"Also, Jin, when you first met me, the main poison of the 'Seven Revolutions of Reincarnation' you were infected with was the 'Seven-Colored Poison' from Southern Xinjiang."
As Mu Jiaojiao spoke, her expression returned to a serious state. What happened tonight reminded her of the previous events.
Logically speaking, the three seem to have little to do with each other, but in Yudu, two cases of Gu and one poison from southern Xinjiang appeared. What does this indicate?
"Madam, what you mean is that someone in the royal family keeps someone from Southern Xinjiang?"
After being reminded by Mu Jiaojiao, Jiang Jin naturally thought of the key point. If he was not a member of the royal family, who would attack him again and again.
"But what does this have to do with the Zhao family?"
After thinking about it, Jiang Jin felt that something was missing. Or did this person from the Witch Clan in southern Xinjiang have some connection with the Zhao family where Zhao Jianjia and Zhao Xiangyi were?
Because there is no necessary connection between the two poisons. He had no dealings with the Zhao family before he met his wife, and Zhao Jianjia had the poison from her mother's womb, so these two poisons were definitely not targeted at him.
After thinking about it, he wondered if there was any connection between the two events, but the person who controlled the Gu behind the scenes might be related?
Thinking of this, Jiang Jin couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up and went to the study to send a message to Xi Yanzhi to investigate the Zhao family carefully.
Seeing him like this, Mu Jiaojiao did not stop him. Now the enemy is in the dark and they are in the light, so they must find out who is behind this as soon as possible so that they can come up with a countermeasure and ensure the safety of those around them.
It happened that Li Jiangmo visited Prince Jin's Mansion late at night, just to share with Jiang Jin the scene he had accidentally seen before. Jiang Jin had already known about Jiang Qi and Jiang Yu, so he was not surprised.
Li Jiangmo happened to have returned to Yudu, so he asked about the Cangzhou incident: "How is the investigation going on regarding the Cangzhou incident mentioned in Zijin's letter?"
Talking about business, Li Jiangmo put away his cynical look, sat up straight, and said to Jiang Jin:
"Huaizhi, you would never have thought that a Cangzhou governor would have the guts to annex 70% of the military pay in the southwest!"
Jiang Jin was furious when he heard this. He had fought his way through the army, so he knew how hard life was for the soldiers. However, in order to protect the people of Dayu and their parents, wives, and children, no one retreated and no one complained.
However, the people they are protecting not only do not appreciate their hard work, but also want to reduce their expenses and just want to suck the little blood from them.
"As the governor of Cangzhou, he doesn't have such courage!"
Li Jiangmo looked at Jiang Jin, who was filled with righteous indignation, nodded, and continued to explain what he had found out to Jiang Jin.
"Huaizhi is right. We investigated Cangzhou Governor Chen Mu and found that he was reckless and murdered the people for money and farmland. Logically, he should be very wealthy, but we found that he lived a simple life and his money has disappeared over the years."
"Just half a month ago, through some clues, we found his private account books. Most of the money went to the Shangshu Mansion, and some was given to the Empress Dowager in the palace!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jin took the account book from him, his gentle face full of sarcasm, and sneered.
"You're so sanctimonious, yet so treacherous. You're truly worthy of being siblings!"
"It's indeed a nest of snakes and rats!"
Li Jiangmo nodded in agreement. Even though he had never been in a military camp, he knew how difficult life would be for the soldiers if such a large sum of money was withheld.
"There's one more thing. I discovered that there's another group of people secretly investigating this matter. If we follow them, we'll find out they're Su Changxun's men."
Hearing this, Jiang Jin paused while flipping through the account book, tapped the table with his finger, and said after a moment, "In that case, give them a hand!"
Li Jiangmo paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. He chuckled softly and praised.
"Ha ha……"
"Huaizhi, this is a brilliant plan!"
