Zhou Xingyu said: "I will lead people to search for assassins in Zhuangzi."
"If it's on Zhuangzi, we can only hide in the tenants' homes and visit the tenants door to door on the pretext of checking for leaks without letting anyone notice." Yan Yu issued the order happily and calmly, with a good plan in mind.
It is difficult for assassins from outside to sneak into the salt village, so there is only one possibility. The assassin last night was originally from Zhuangzi. He cut out Zhao Er's tongue just because he was afraid that he would reveal the origin of the salt owl.
Zhou Xingyu took the order and left. Yan Yuhuan had enough to eat and drink, so he asked Chuntao: "Is Jiang Qinian awake?"
Chuntao stepped forward to serve the scented tea and replied: "Jiang Langjun woke up early. Jiang Langjun made this porridge and side dishes early in the morning."
Yan Yuhuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he didn't expect Jiang Qinian to cook. After all, most of these scholars would not touch Yang Chun Shui.
"He got up early. It seems he went to bed early last night." Yan Yuhuan's tone was somewhat laced with a hint of yin and yang. Thinking of what Zhao Er pointed at her nose and scolded her last night, she always felt uncomfortable.
"The princess is very angry this morning. Can I prepare a pot of chrysanthemum tea for the princess at noon?"
A familiar voice came from the door, and Yan Yuhuan finally saw what it meant to talk behind someone's back.
Jiang Qinian walked to Arhat's bed and bowed, "My princess is well."
Yan Yuhuan chuckled unhurriedly and said, "How are you? Last night, the princess was first pointed at the nose and humiliated by the evildoer, and then almost assassinated. Jiang Langjun was very happy and relaxed. I went to bed, and early in the morning I came to ask my princess how she was, and you call this okay?"
Jiang Qinian seemed to have expected that Yan Yuhuan would lose his temper. He smiled calmly and said: "The princess is very angry. It is inevitable to be depressed and depressed after being humiliated like this. But why bother to be angry with yourself? This assassin... Nubang County The Lord will find it."
Yan Yuhuan waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I have already asked Zhou Xingyu and Yan Qing to visit in the name of checking for leaks and filling vacancies."
Jiang Qinian heard what Yan Yuhuan meant, sat down on the Arhat couch comfortably, and said in a calm tone: "Princess, have you ever thought about the fact that the money was just distributed a few days ago, what leaks were checked and what gaps were filled today? "
Yan Yuhuan glanced at Jiang Qinian and said disdainfully: "You are smart, but this princess is a fool?"
Jiang Qinian was choked for a moment and said helplessly: "I don't dare to mock the princess..."
Yan Yuhuan played with the salt particles in his hand and said with a smile: "It is precisely because going here will scare off the grass and alert the snakes, and the assassins will detect abnormalities, that I have to act like this. There are tiger guards everywhere in this village, and there are also eagles stationed here by the imperial court." Division branch, there is absolutely no way that the assassin sneaked in. It is only possible that he was originally from Zhuangzi. Since he is from Zhuangzi, he must be quite familiar with the large and small entrances and exits on Zhuangzi. I am in these places Tiger guards have been deployed. If he senses something is wrong, he will definitely find a way to leave Zhuangzi, and there are so many tenants in Zhuangzi. When should I go? Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, it is better to wait and see."
Yan Yuhuan was talking enthusiastically and did not notice at all that the light in Jiang Qinian's eyes flickered for her, like a person who has lived in the dark night for a long time and suddenly saw a glimmer of light. He did not dare to catch it at first, fearing that it was fake. , but later he felt that he was not worthy to catch it because it was too beautiful. When Jiang Qinian looked back on it decades later, he would always feel regretful.
If I had been more confident at the beginning and more confident again, the outcome would have been different.
However, these are all things for later.
At this moment, Jiang Qinian only felt a sense of comfort in his heart, mixed with a sense of loss. He curled his lips and said, "It seems that the princess no longer needs slaves to help the princess with suggestions."
Yan Yuhuan almost subconsciously denied it: "No, I want it!"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Yuhuan wanted to slap her mouth to death, which was faster than her brain. She was still angry, so she gave Jiang Qinian a step, how shameless was that?
"Ahem!" Yan Yuhuan hurriedly made amends and said with a guilty look on his face: "What I, the princess, mean is that although your strategy is a little bit evil, it is very effective. Why not be my counselor and help me manage the family property."
Jiang Qinian said calmly: "Since the princess still needs slaves, I am willing to do my little bit."
Damn Jiang Qinian, he stepped on the brazier and acted like that!
Yan Yu glared at Jiang Qinian happily, and sprinkled all the salt on the table into Jiang Qinian's tea as if to retaliate.
Jiang Qinian smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand to grind up a few tiny salt particles sprinkled on the saucer, and pointedly said: "This fine salt has always been an important material controlled by the imperial court. If there is no permission from the imperial court to sell salt, If the paperwork is issued, the salt farm will stop operating, and the hundreds of tenants on the farm will have no source of income and can only starve to death."
Of course Yan Yuhuan knew what Jiang Qinian meant, but now that Yan Yunyi refused to bow to the emperor, the salt village could no longer operate normally. However, because of the deep grudge between Yan Yunyi and her cheap father, she wanted to persuade Yan Yunyi to bow her head and return it. It would be easier to compensate the tenants for their lives.
Yan Yuhuan let out a long sigh, propped up her chin and muttered: "I know too...but what can I do."
Jiang Qinian dipped his fingers into the tea and wrote a word on the coffee table: love.
"Love?" Yan Yuhuan looked at the gradually dried handwriting, with question marks on his forehead.
Jiang Qinian simply spoke more clearly.
"Madam and the Holy One are both human beings, and their hearts are made of flesh. Since they fell apart because of the word "love", it is enough to prove that they still have love in their hearts, otherwise they would not still have the king without seeing the king until now. If the princess If you can master the key points, you can save Yanzhuang from fire and water."
Yan Yuhuan suddenly understood, raised his thumb and said: "Jiang Qinian, you are really amazing."
Yan Yuhuan never thought that the crux would be here. She was not loved in her last life, and her parents only had the "love" of pulling out hair with a kitchen knife. Therefore, she always felt that the court was embarrassing the Yan family because Yan Yunyi insisted on divorce. After losing the dignity of the royal family, if Jiang Qinian said so, the only person who might be able to completely eliminate the crisis in the salt village is her cheap girl.
While he was talking, Zhou Xingyu came back and reported through the bead curtain: "Princess, the assassin has been arrested and brought to justice. His subordinates have taken him to Lutai to await the interrogation of the princess."
Yan Yuhuan raised her eyebrows at Jiang Qinian, unable to hide her pride. She stood up and walked towards Lutai with her hands behind her hands. She then said, "I will come back as soon as I go, Mr. Jiang." It’s better not to go, be careful of getting scared.”
Before Zhou Xingyu left, he glanced at Jiang Qinian and discovered that Jiang Qinian was smiling. For just a short moment, Zhou Xingyu thought he had seen it wrong.
