Chapter 161: Pei Zhanzhou's Unending Revenge
Jiang Wansang read the information in his hand several times before looking up at Pei Zhanzhou in confusion, "Is this Liu Cheng really the former prefect of Jianzhou?"
The Jianzhou corruption case caused such a big stir back then, and it was a case that Pei Zhanzhou personally investigated. As the prefect of Jianzhou, Liu Cheng had been sentenced to death and beheaded, hadn't he?
Pei Zhanzhou had already reviewed these materials before they were sent over, so he was not unfamiliar with Liu Cheng whom she mentioned.
"The one who was beheaded was another death row prisoner. The real Liu Cheng was rescued by the prince's men and is now hiding in the suburbs."
If he had not personally investigated the case and sent people to secretly keep an eye on Liu Cheng, he might not have known about this matter.
Jiang Wansang frowned, "Is this Liu Cheng the prince's man?"
Although the Jianzhou corruption case has been closed for a long time, everyone knows that there is someone behind Liu Cheng, but no one knows who it is.
Before Liu Cheng was beheaded, many people were waiting for the person behind the scenes to rescue Liu Cheng and thus reveal their true identity, but nothing happened until Liu Cheng was beheaded.
However, he didn't expect that the real Liu Cheng had been rescued long ago, and the person behind it was the prince.
But the prince is already the heir to the throne, and there are many ministers in the court who support him. Why does he use this kind of bribery to control the ministers?
Doesn't he understand what impact it will have on his reputation as the crown prince once this matter is exposed?
Jiang Wansang had just begun to harbor suspicions when she heard Pei Zhanzhou say, "The previous Liu Cheng was the Third Prince's man."
Jiang Wansang was a little surprised. She had never expected that he would investigate so thoroughly.
"Liu Cheng" has been beheaded. Apart from the Crown Prince and Pei Zhanzhou, the only one who knew that he was still alive should be the Third Prince, the real mastermind behind the scenes. Therefore, this task was most likely issued by the Third Prince.
Jiang Wansang had no interest in the person who issued the task. After thinking for a moment, he asked hesitantly, "Since you had already investigated the matter so thoroughly, why did you later voluntarily give up the Jianzhou corruption case?"
In the book, Pei Zhanzhou gave up investigating the case because he was assassinated in Zhenxiu Pavilion and was seriously injured and had to give up, but later the plot was changed by her, and Pei Zhanzhou still gave up the case.
Before, their relationship was not as close as it is now, so Jiang Wansang did not ask even though she was confused. But now she couldn't help but ask.
Pei Zhanzhou looked at the person in front of him with a calm expression, making it impossible to understand what he was thinking.
After a long silence, Jiang Wansang thought he would not speak, but Pei Zhanzhou suddenly spoke: "Because I don't care who the master behind Liu Cheng is, nor do I care how many corrupt officials are among the ministers and officials who take bribes. The more chaotic the court in Nansu is, the happier I am."
For this purpose, he had been planning for many years, and he had spies in the homes of almost all powerful ministers in South Sudan.
So after finding out who was behind Liu Cheng and learning that the other half of the useful account book was not in the hands of the third prince, he withdrew from the case.
His tone was calm, but Jiang Wansang could hear a strong resentment in it.
For some reason, her heart uncontrollably tightened.
"You..." After a slight hesitation, she asked, "What is your grudge against the Nansu royal family?"
Jiang Wansang didn't know why she asked this. She had always known that this was Pei Zhanzhou's biggest secret, and she also understood that the more she knew about some things, the more disadvantageous it would be for her.
But at that moment, she couldn't help but ask.
Pei Zhanzhou didn't rush to answer, and his expression didn't change much, but his eyes staring at Jiang Wansang became more profound.
After a long moment, he tilted his head slightly, his expression relaxed and lazy. "Of course it's a feud that will never end. Why, are you curious?"
There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He looked as cold and noble as always, but his eyes seemed to be able to suck people in.
"If you find out about my country's teacher, you'll never be able to escape from him."
His tone was so calm that it was impossible to tell whether this was a threat or had some other meaning.
Jiang Wansang's eyes flashed, and she didn't know if she heard something, but she tightened her grip on the information.
She stared at Pei Zhanzhou for a long time, then suddenly laughed, "Do you think I'm someone who can be scared so easily, in the eyes of the Imperial Master?"
Pei Zhanzhou also looked straight into her eyes, his dark pupils became deeper and deeper, as if to suck her in.
After a long silence, he was the first to look away.
The ones who have an irreconcilable feud with him are the Beisheng Royal Family and the Nansu Royal Family. No matter which one of them is singled out, it is like walking on the edge of a cliff full of swords and knives. Every step is extremely dangerous and they may be doomed at any time.
Pei Zhanzhou's voice turned a little colder. "We've got the information. We have five days left. You should act quickly."
After saying that, he turned around and left, his steps were a little fast and a little messy.
Jiang Wansang frowned subconsciously as she looked at his back, feeling as if something was blocking her heart.
She could feel Pei Zhanzhou's sudden avoidance and alienation, but she could also clearly feel that he was willing to open his heart to her at a certain moment.
She thought that after working together for so long, they could be considered friends, but was Pei Zhanzhou still wary of her?
When Zhe Liu came in with a pile of clothes, he saw his young lady with a frown on her face. She seemed to be thinking about something and looked a little uneasy.
She subconsciously thought of Pei Zhanzhou who had just walked out with a cold face, and walked forward worriedly, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Jiang Wansang came back to her senses and shook her head gently, shaking off those messy thoughts from her mind. "Nothing. Are you ready?"
Zheliu was sensible and didn't ask any further questions. He nodded and said, "Including the young lady's set, there are fourteen pieces in total. They are all ready."
Jiang Wansang took a quick look at the black robe she was holding in her arms. Except for the size, they were all of the same style. It was obvious that Zheliu's hands were really skillful.
She was very satisfied. "Okay, let Jiang Yi take the things and go with me. You stay in Tingsang Pavilion and act like I have never left."
Although Zheliu didn't know what she was going to do specifically, she knew that what her young lady was going to do must be something big. She nodded firmly and promised that she would not let anyone know that the young lady had left Tingsang Pavilion.
Jiang Wansang was still very confident in Zheliu's ability to do things, so she took Jiang Yi and quietly left the prime minister's residence and went to the villa.
She distributed the information Pei Zhanzhou had brought. "Memorize all the information about these mission targets. I'll only give you one day to prepare. You must complete all the tasks within three days."
As they watched, Jiang Wansang instructed his troops, "I will act with you, but I won't do anything. You must complete all the tasks yourself..."
This was the first time she assigned them a task. If they failed to complete it, she might consider whether to keep someone who would hold them back later. She also made this clear.
It is better to be without than to be with something of poor quality; this is her bottom line.
Everyone's expressions became more serious.
Jiang Wansang looked at everyone's reactions with satisfaction, but his gaze suddenly stopped at Jiang Si, who was staring blankly at the documents in his hand, with an expression that was obviously not right.
