After tearing up the script of the vicious female supporting role, I cleaned up the Xiangfu every da

"If you, the Imperial Master, can protect me, I will do my utmost to achieve what you seek."

Jiang Wansang smiled and said, "I may not be very talented, but I have good skills and a sharp mind. I am definitely qualified to be a counselor to the Imperial Master."

Pei Zhanzhou didn't expect that she would recommend herself and want to be a counselor.

He looked at Jiang Wansang and asked, "Does this national teacher look like someone who needs a counselor?"

"Of course there is no shortage of counselors." Jiang Wansang answered quickly.

With Pei Zhanzhou's intelligence, ten counselors cannot compare to his brain.

"However, even the most brilliant strategist can sometimes make mistakes." Jiang Wansang's smile took on a deeper meaning. "The Imperial Master was interrogating the assassin and learned that the mastermind behind this would be at the Treasure Pavilion today, so he personally came here to lay a net and capture them. Didn't he realize that he was actually the one who had fallen into someone else's trap?"

Pei Zhanzhou's cold expression finally showed a reaction, although it was not obvious, but Jiang Wansang still saw it.

She remained calm, "A few days ago, assassins appeared in the palace and tried to kill the Crown Prince, but their real target was you, Imperial Master... To be more precise, they were after the thing in your hand."

So Pei Zhanzhou came to Zhenxiu Pavilion today because he found out that the assassins would meet the mastermind here today, so he came here specifically to wait.

But he never expected that the information he got from the assassin was actually revealed deliberately by the mastermind behind the scenes, just to set a trap for him.

Pei Zhanzhou listened to her story calmly before saying, "It seems like you know what they want."

Jiang Wansang nodded. "Half a month ago, a scholar from Jianzhou brought a petition signed in blood by ten thousand people and half a book of accounts implicating many officials to the Imperial City to accuse the Jianzhou prefect of corruption and abuse of power. The Emperor handed the matter over to the Imperial Master to investigate."

"I guess in the past two weeks, quite a few people have secretly approached the Imperial Master, wanting the blood letter, the account book, and that scholar, right?"

In the book, this incident takes up a considerable amount of plot space.

The one who stirred up the turmoil in Jianzhou and helped the scholar reach the imperial city safely was the destined son of this world, Jiang Zihan's destined partner, and the male protagonist in the book - the seventh prince, Su Huanyu.

Thinking of that man, Jiang Wansang's eyes flickered.

If the Jiang family was the direct cause of the original owner's life tragedy, then Su Huanyu was the fundamental reason for the original owner's life of pain.

The man claimed that he loved the original owner, but he spent all day indulging in other women. He also lied to the original owner that he had no choice, but then he turned around and personally sent the original owner to the bed of the illegitimate son of the Minister of War, just to express his loyalty to Jiang Zihan, "I will not marry anyone else in this life, and I only love you."

When Jiang Zihan saw that he was willing to let go of his childhood sweetheart for her, she truly felt how deeply in love he was with her and threw herself into his arms, moved to tears.

The two of them stepped on Jiang Wansang's corpse and sang praises of their touching love.

That kind of scene makes people sick just thinking about it!

So, she wants to kill Jiang Zihan, the girl of destiny.

She also wants to kill Su Huanyu, the son of destiny!

Pei Zhanzhou did not miss the murderous intent in her eyes. He tilted his head slightly, looking puzzled, "What else do you know?"

What she just said is something that very few people know, but judging from her expression, she probably knows even more.

In order to negotiate a deal with this suspicious and vigilant villain, Jiang Wansang must of course first express his sincerity.

"I also know that the mastermind behind today's plot is to have the Imperial Master seriously injured, or even better, dead. Then, the person investigating the Jianzhou corruption case will have to be replaced."

Pei Zhanzhou didn't respond. He stood up from his sitting position and looked at Jiang Wansang intently.

To be able to see through so much, she must be extremely smart, or she is the mastermind behind all this.

Those dark and deep eyes seemed to want to suck Jiang Wansang into a bottomless abyss.

Even Jiang Wansang couldn't help but feel uneasy, but she didn't show it on her face.

After a long while, Pei Zhanzhou suddenly spoke: "How do you know that this master didn't expect what you said?"

Jiang Wansang was stunned, then suddenly reacted.

Although Pei Zhanzhou showed some emotion because of her words, it was only curiosity and suspicion, without any surprise or anger at knowing that he was being set up.

It seemed that he had known this was a trap for a long time.

As smart as Jiang Wansang was, she figured it out almost instantly.

Pei Zhanzhou was so vigilant and suspicious that he naturally thought that the person who prevented him from investigating the Jianzhou corruption case must be the mastermind behind the corruption case.

He is conducting a sting operation!

But since Pei Zhanzhou knew that today was a trap, why was he really seriously injured in the book and took the initiative to hand over the power to investigate the case?

Jiang Wansang is a sensitive person. She always feels that something is wrong, but she can't figure it out.

The current situation did not give her a chance to figure it out.

Meeting Pei Zhanzhou's gaze, Jiang Wansang smiled calmly, "It seems the Imperial Master is smarter than I thought. As his advisor, I can no longer hide my secrets."

"How about I make a prediction first?" She said slowly, "If I hadn't appeared today, the Imperial Master would have been seriously injured. At that time, you would have voluntarily given up the power to investigate the corruption case in court, and the Crown Prince would have stepped forward to take over the matter."

"The Crown Prince will investigate and punish numerous officials in the court based on that half-copy of the account book. This will not only earn him widespread praise from the people, but will also allow him to use the incident to eliminate dissidents. However, the Imperial Preceptor has uncovered clues and discovered that the true mastermind behind the corruption case is actually the Third Prince, and most of the officials investigated are his associates."

"The Imperial Preceptor secretly reported this to the Emperor. Although the Emperor didn't punish the Third Prince openly, he found a random excuse to demote the Third Prince's biological mother from her position as consort. Furthermore, because he was dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's abuse of power for personal gain and exclusion of dissidents, he took over some of the influence of the Crown Prince's mother's family."

Jiang Wansang smiled deeply, and his tone was so calm that it seemed as if he was not talking about something that would cause great turmoil in the court.

What she said is what happened in the book.

But there were two things she couldn't figure out.

First, since Pei Zhanzhou knew that today was a trap, why did he fall into it so easily in the book and did not show any signs of knowing the truth?

Second, since Pei Zhanzhou had taken on the task of investigating the Jianzhou corruption case, why did he give it up on his own initiative?

Jiang Wansang was not someone who liked to hide doubts in her heart, so she asked the question directly.

Pei Zhanzhou finally revealed a look of shock. Instead of answering her question, he asked, "Who are you?"

No matter how smart a person is, unless she knows everyone's character and secrets, she will never be able to infer what has not happened yet.

Jiang Wansang showed no signs of nervousness or worry about her identity being questioned. She shrugged, "Of course I'm Jiang Wansang. To be the Imperial Master's advisor, I must have some real skills. I wonder if the Imperial Master is satisfied?"

Pei Zhanzhou did not respond.

This was the first time in nearly twenty years that he encountered people and things that were completely beyond his control.

Since Jiang Wansang has such ability, why did he choose to rely on him? And why did he choose him?

Jiang Wansang clearly felt his vigilance and suspicion.

She is worthy of being the most suspicious and powerful villain. If ordinary people saw the abilities she displayed, they would have excitedly recruited her into their team, or even treated her as their most valued guest.

Only by cooperating with such people can we have the best hope of bringing down the male and female protagonists!

Jiang Wansang immediately added another bargaining chip, "To show my sincerity, I will tell the Grand Master a secret."

"The biggest secret in an imperial city."
