950 Eye-Piercing
Jiang Zhennan sent soone to deliver the head to the Wen family. As soon as this matter was exposed, everyone in the capital knew that the defender-general of the state had returned to his own country estate.
This made people even more curious.
Why would the general suddenly go to a country estate?
Could it be that he wanted to farm personally?
Hehe, that’s impossible.
Of course, doubts were doubts, but no one had the courage to ask Jiang Zhennan.
This person in the Imperial Palace also received the news at the first mont.
Before Jiang Zhennan and the others had arrived in Beijing, he had received a letter from the secret guards he had sent to Taoyuan village.
At that ti, he had frowned, not knowing what Jiang Zhennan was thinking.
Jiang Zhennan’s letter clearly said that An Ding County was going to be used as an experintal base for farming. Why did he suddenly run back to his own country estate in the capital to farm?
What happened in between?
These things, even his secret guards had not found out.
Although the Emperor was suspicious, his trust in Jiang Zhennan had never wavered.
So, he was waiting …
He was waiting for Jiang Zhennan to co and give him an explanation.
The Emperor was waiting, but the others couldn’t sit still.
This was because Jiang Zhennan was of utmost importance to any Prince’s path to imperial power.
However, Jiang Zhennan refused to take a position. That was already the best for the various sects.
However, if soone could rope Jiang Zhennan into his camp, that would be the best.
So what was Jiang Zhennan doing unexpectedly in his country estate at this ti?
Could it be that a defender-general of the state was so bored that he really wanted to go farming?
Wouldn’t that be a joke in the capital?
No one was willing to believe that Jiang Zhennan had really gone to the country estate to farm personally. Therefore, they were all suspicious that Jiang Zhennan must have his own purpose.
Their goal was to figure out Jiang Zhennan’s purpose.
Only then would they be able to find the right bait!
“Send soone to investigate Jiang Zhennan’s purpose in the country estate.” The third Prince, Yuwen feiye, ordered.
“But, Your Highness, with the great General’s martial arts, it’s possible that he’ll discover us before we even get close to him.” The subordinate said hesitantly.
Yuwen Feiye’s sharp eyes glared at his subordinates. He said coldly, ” do you need to teach you what to do? ”
The subordinate imdiately replied, ” yes, I will investigate imdiately!”
Crown Prince’s Eastern Palace
“Your Highness, why would the great general suddenly go to the country estate?” Crown Prince Yuwen Yuyu’s aide asked suspiciously.
The Crown Prince was dressed in a yellow brocade robe. He was expressionless and had his head slightly lowered as if he was in deep thought. After a mont, he furrowed his brows and said, ” perhaps he just wants to plant crops.
“Recently, the border had been stable and there were no wars for the ti being.
“Obviously, Jiang Zhennan, the great general, is free.
“If he was idle, he could go to the country estate.
“After all, I heard that when he was living at the border, he had also opened up land and cultivated fields.”
When the aides heard this, they also furrowed their brows and were suspicious. “Really?”
One of them asked, ” Then, Your Highness, should we send soone to investigate? ”
The Crown Prince thought for a mont and said, ” If we want to go, we can only go openly and see if we can find anything.”
The advisors looked at each other, then lowered their heads and said, ” Your Highness is wise!”
In the palace of the emperor’s eldest grandson, Yuwen Xuhong.
“Your Highness, what is this great general trying to do? Why would he go to the country estate for no reason?” One had to know that people with status, power, and influence like them would never step into their own country estate.
To them, the country estate was the place where the lowly commoners should live. They only needed to wait for the harvest that those people brought over.
Of course, in order to prevent these peasants from deceiving them, these big families would definitely send so trusted family mbers to manage it, but there was no reason for them to go personally.
Therefore, Jiang Zhennan’s sudden visit to his own country estate made everyone curious and confused.
There was no expression on the imperial grandson’s handso face. He rubbed the big jade ring on his left thumb with his right hand. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said coldly, “We never know what the general is up to. What’s the point of guessing?”
When the advisor heard this, he imdiately looked at the others in confusion and asked carefully, ” Your Highness, what do you an? ”
“We wait!” Yuwen Xuhong spat out a single word coldly.
..
Jiang Zhennan ignored all the various remarks and speculations in Beijing.
The first thing he had to do was deal with the servants in the country estate.
Most of these servants were sent by the Wen family or Wen Yujing.
He didn’t need these eyes watching him.
Jiang Zhennan imdiately ordered Guo Bing to select twenty soldiers to co to the country estate and learn how to farm.
...
After that, it was ti to send away the servants who were not loyal to their Masters.
With the example of Butler Wen, when Jiang Zhennan sent these servants back to the Wen family or Duke zhengguo’s mansion, these servants did not dare to make a sound, let alone resist.
After packing up their things, they left the country estate in a hurry, returning to the Wen family or Duke zhengguo’s mansion.
After these people left, Jiang Zhennan transferred so more people over to guard these country estates. Without his orders and permission, no one was allowed to approach the country estates.
Jiang Zhennan did not hide his actions from the people who were secretly monitoring him.
This also aroused the curiosity of so people.
After Jiang Zhennan had arranged everything, he said to Lin yuelan, ” Yue ‘Er, I’m afraid I have to make a trip to the palace.”
He had caused such a ruckus, and that person in the palace had probably already received the news.
Therefore, he had to make a trip to the palace and explain to that person.
The reason why Jiang Zhennan was fully trusted by the suspicious Emperor was that he was truly loyal to the Emperor and would not lie to him about anything.
This ti was no exception!
...
Lin yuelan nodded in understanding and said, ” okay, you can go! Be careful. I believe that there are many people keeping an eye on you this ti. It’s easy to dodge an open spear but hard to defend against a hidden arrow. Be careful!”
Jiang Zhennan grabbed her hand and nodded. “okay, I will be careful! Wait here for my return!”
“tsk, tsk, that’s enough. You’re only going to the palace, not to die. Why do you have to make it so sentintal, as if you’re going to be separated forever? ” Liu Yichen imdiately made sarcastic remarks.
In any case, it was already very glaring to see the two of them together, so he couldn’t help but say a few harsh words.
The good atmosphere was imdiately ruined by Liu Yichen’s words.
Jiang Zhennan’s face darkened, and he said to Liu Yichen in a bad mood, ” if you think it’s too eye-catching, then go out and find soone to be an eye-sore for others. Don’t say such sarcastic words in front of .”
This ti, it was Liu Yichen’s turn to have a dark expression. He glanced at Jiang Zhennan and said coldly, ” I don’t need you to worry about my matters! Alright, if you want to go, go quickly. Why are you staying for so long?”
Jiang Zhennan ignored Liu Yichen and only said to Lin yuelan, ” Yue ‘er, I’ll be leaving now!”
Liu Yichen rolled his eyes.
Really … He really didn’t know what to say.
