The reborn princess kills the whole capital

Chapter 359

Jin Yan on the side only looked at the farce in front of her coldly. When her eyes swept over Jiang Song, she saw the darkness in his eyes, which made Jin Yan's heart skip a beat.

She thought deeply and put away her strangeness.

After the banquet was over, she went to ask Xiao Tong about Jiang Song.

In Xiao Tong's study.

"Do you think it's strange too?"

Xiao Tong put down the tea cup and sighed.

"Master Wen, tell me."

Wenfang frowned and said, "The Jiang family is indeed strange. They were not originally in the medicinal materials business. A few months ago, when the flood first occurred, they suddenly changed directions and started this business. They invested a lot at that time. It caused great repercussions in the Pingzhou City area."

"When the epidemic first started, the Jiang family had already made several times the money by relying on some decoctions that could clear away heat and reduce internal heat. I have roughly estimated that this money represents the Jiang family's profits for several years."

"How did you know?"

Jin Yan asked, Wen Fang was recently transferred to Pingzhou Magistrate, and Jin Jiu only arrived in Pingzhou City, but he seemed to be very aware of the affairs in Pingzhou City.

Wenfang smiled and said, "In fact, there were signs of the imperial appointment a few months ago. I had no intention of asking about it, but when the Jiang family's medicinal materials business came to my place, I heard about some of Jiang Song's feats. Learned a little more.”

Xiao Tong continued, "When Gu and the Imperial Master arrived in Pingzhou City, the Jiang family was very low-key. The medicinal materials were sold to us at a [-]% discount on the market price, but the market price at that time was already three times what it was before the epidemic, so... They also made a lot of money from Gu."

"But the rumors outside are that the Jiang family is working together to provide free medicinal materials."

Xiao Tong and Wenfang looked at each other and smiled.

The Wenfang explained, "So it's strange that the Jiang family opened the warehouse just one day before the princess and you brought the medicinal materials to the door, and sent all the medicinal materials here in a big way, but most of them are in poor quality and the effect is greatly reduced."

"However, the medicinal materials that Yue Xi and I sent were all stolen from Zhu Jinren and could not be publicized in a big way, so... all the credit for this matter falls on the Jiang family."

Jin Yan continued what Wen Fang said.

The Jiang family is really born to be managers, and they do everything they can.

You can even think of this.

"The timing is just right, both money and fame are at stake."

"There is still power."

Wenfang added, "Jiang Song has always wanted his son Jiang Tao to take over the position of the new prefect. The original prefect of Pingzhou has been beheaded in public because of poor flood control."

"If you think about it further, is it possible that Jiang Song's handiwork is involved in this?"

Neither Xiao Tong nor Wenfang could deny it.

Jin Yan suddenly felt a chill on her back.

She has always been wary of good intentions, but she never expected that there would be such a sanctimonious person in the world. While giving small favors and letting people speak for her, she would also manipulate people's hearts and use any means to get what she wanted.

If Wenfang hadn't had contact with Xiao Tong in advance, and if Xiao Tong hadn't been alert, he might have unknowingly acted as Jiang Song's knife this time.

He...is so bold.

After understanding the general situation, Jinyan and Wenfang left together.

Before leaving, the study took a few steamed buns and handed them over. He didn't know where they were hidden just now. They were still warm when they came into Jinyan's hands.

"I visited Pingzhou in the early spring of this year. I ate the buns from this restaurant and thought they were better than the ones in Jingcheng Dongshi. When I came back, I hurriedly ordered someone to buy them. You can try them."

Jin Yan chuckled, "If you keep doing this, I will think of you whenever I see Baozi."

"Well...that's not impossible, I'm sure."

He smiled broadly and turned to leave.

Jinyan held the soft bun and turned around to walk into the yard.

In the corridor not far away, Wen Yan looked incomprehensible, and Jiang Wan's words at the banquet suddenly came to mind.

According to Jin Yan's original plan, Wen Fang met all the conditions. He was from a poor family and did not have a strong background to compete with Prince Jin's palace. He had a gentle temperament and knew her well. Moreover, Jin Yan trusted him very much.

Such a person would have a bright future if he married into Prince Jin's Mansion and was transferred back to the capital.

Jin'an had indeed put some thought into the affairs of the study room. Wen Yan didn't take it to heart at that time. Now these vague things suddenly became clear and connected together, making him feel cold in his heart.

A black shadow flashed before his eyes, and Jin Yan raised her hand and waved it in front of him, "What is Master thinking about?"

Wen Yan came back to his senses, his eyes fell on the back of the study room, and then looked at Jin Yan, "It's nothing, go to bed early."

He turned around and left, suddenly becoming extremely cold and cold again.

Jin Yan froze on the spot and frowned, wondering what Wen Yan was thinking.

"Yanyan..."

Jin Ran, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly appeared, looking in a hurry.

Jin Yan came back to her senses and looked at the past.

"Can you see Xiaojiu?"

"Aren't I always with you?"

Jin Ran would torment Xiao Jiu with these old friends. If she disobeyed, he would threaten to sue the government, saying that she was imprisoned and abused him.

It's not...

He pinched Xiaojiu very hard.

Xiao Tong originally wanted to come forward to make peace, but seeing that Jin Ran had not really done anything outrageous, and feeling guilty, he gave Xiao Jiu a large sum of money to comfort him.

At this time, Jin Ran gritted his teeth and looked like he wanted to eat someone, "She ran away!"

Jin Yan understood, "Oh, since the second brother has calmed down a long time ago, don't scare people like this. It's normal for him to run away."

"I……"

"She really never came to see you?"

Jinran asked worriedly.

Jin Yan shook her head and said, "Second brother, maybe you can ask the prince. I heard that she received a large amount of money from the prince yesterday."

"what?"

"She has done so much to fight the epidemic, and she deserves this money."

"I originally wanted to get her a county boss, but if I take the money, it would be... stupid!"

Jin Ran said angrily with a dark face.

Jin Yan looked at him deeply and said, "Second brother...if you like someone, treat her well. Don't end up killing her by doing this."

"Besides, don't you think Xiaojiu is very taboo about returning to the capital? By the way, there seems to be some problems with her household registration. I've asked about it, and it's false."

"I know."

Jinran's voice was obscure and his face darkened.

I don't know if he knew that he liked her, or if he knew that her identity was questionable.

Xiao Tong probably was happy to give her money because of her status.

Jin Yan patted Jin Ran on the arm, "Second brother...just...if you men like women, will you be like you?"

She is so curious.

Jinran's face suddenly turned red.

He glanced briefly and involuntarily took a step aside, "I...I don't know."

"What are you asking these for?"

Jin Ran suddenly glanced at Jin Yan warily, she touched her nose and straightened her face.
