Chapter 669 Kill You to Vent My Anger
He Shulin studied hard for more than ten years just to get a place on the list of successful candidates. He Shulin studied very hard in the past few years, and when he thought of his brother-in-law's talent, he was full of motivation.
He felt that he had reached the point where he could leave.
"Okay!" Jiang Fugui naturally agreed. His son-in-law was a scholar, and it was only a matter of time before he took the imperial examination. It was also the right time. They usually helped their son-in-law with all their strength. If the son-in-law didn't work hard, he would be a hopeless case.
"I'll get started next year, too." The third son-in-law Zhen Yuanshu felt that it was not a good idea to keep working behind closed doors, so it would be better to get started early and accumulate experience.
Zhao Wei felt sad when he saw this. His two brothers-in-law were both educated men, but he was just a rough man who could only forge iron.
At this moment, he felt that he was not worthy of his wife.
Daya noticed his depressed mood and quickly held his hand. Zhao Wei felt warm in his heart. Daya's eyes were full of tenderness, and he felt much better.
"I didn't ask you to stay to say these things. In fact, our family is poor and has no background. It's not a big deal to rely on Xiao Lang, but I'm afraid of getting them into trouble. Therefore, I want to say that if you can make friends with some powerful people in your daily life, then Xiao Lang will not be alone when something happens."
Since Jiang Fugui came to the capital, he felt that this place was too dangerous. Xiao Lang was in danger again and again, and they were unable to help. They felt deeply powerless.
Zhen Yuan frowned several times. His father-in-law was born into a peasant family and had little experience. He didn't know the dangers in the court.
"Father-in-law, I think we should not act rashly. Xiaolang is too popular in the court now, and there must be many officials looking for faults in him. But we know nothing about the affairs of the court. If we are used by someone with ulterior motives to do something bad to Xiaolang, wouldn't it be self-defeating and harm Xiaolang?"
"This?" Jiang Fugui was shocked when he heard this. "That's right! But in this case, we can't help Xiaolang at all."
"We should ask Xiaolang more about everything. We are already supporting him by not causing more trouble." He Shulin also agreed.
"Master, the two young masters of the clan are here." At this time, a servant's report came from outside the door. It turned out that Jiang Zhiyang and Jiang Zhizhou came.
Now the two of them are studying in the academy and seldom return home often.
"Let them in. They just came back yesterday. I'm afraid they got the news and came to see Xiaolang."
Jiang Fugui was quite satisfied with these two grandchildren. Although they did not have much ability, they were obedient, sensible and grateful.
When Jiang Youzhen woke up, the room was already dark. He rubbed his swollen temples, feeling a little tired after sleeping for too long.
Without asking the two maids serving in the room to light the lamp, Jiang Youzhen got up in the dark and was just putting on his outer clothes when he heard a noise at the windowsill.
Jiang Youzhen's heart trembled. He was just thinking that those people were not going to assassinate him, but a light cough was heard over there.
Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but roll his eyes, put on his outer clothes, got up slowly and prepared to wash up, and didn't care anymore.
After lighting the lamps, Jiang Youzhen took a willow branch and prepared to rinse his mouth.
This is the bad thing about coming to this ancient time. There are no toothbrushes and toothpaste. I can only use willow twigs dipped in salt to clean my teeth. I just don’t know if the system will give me these rewards in the future.
After all, we already have watches, so we should have these as well, right?
A black shadow quickly slipped into the house through the open window. When he saw Jiang Youzhen washing up, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
"You are really defenseless. Aren't you afraid that someone wants to take your life?" The other party sat leisurely beside the round table, looking at Jiang Youzhen with his hair loose, showing a rare weak look.
"There are many people who want to kill you now! Tonight I saw your guards kill three of them outside, and some of them were injured. It shows that those people hate you to the core, and the people they sent are all experts."
This girl is really bold! Those masters came to kill her, if he hadn't secretly sent a lot of guards to help, how could they have won the battle so quickly?
Jiang Youzhen was a little surprised. She didn't hear any noise after she fell asleep. But she had asked Qinglang and Jiang Li to mobilize all the guards to surround the entire mansion. Even her three sisters were not allowed to go back. They had to stay in the mansion for the time being and not leave.
But she didn't expect these people to actually come. In fact, what's the point of assassinating her at this time? Because the list has been reported, even if she doesn't investigate the matter, the Fourth Prince and the Emperor will not let them go.
"I don't understand what they are thinking. At this point, what's the point of staring at me? Even if I die, it doesn't mean they will be fine."
Jiang Youzhen poured himself a bowl of tea, took a sip and found it was cold, so he put it down.
"Where is the maid who serves you in the room? Why is she so unruly? She is not serving outside but is resting first?"
The master is still asleep, so he should be on guard outside and come in to serve him as soon as he hears any movement.
The second prince frowned and drank the herbal tea.
Jiang Youzhen curled his lips. She was not that inhumane.
"I don't like people sleeping in the outer room. I'm not disabled. I can do it myself."
She just felt that it was a bit strange to discuss this with the Second Prince, but even if he was not favored, he was still a royal relative and might not be able to stand it!
"They killed you because they wanted to vent their anger, and they also wanted to prevent you from investigating further and ruining their business. Apart from anything else, the graphite mines will definitely fall into the hands of the imperial court, and they will definitely be heartbroken."
The second prince lowered his eyes and thought in his heart.
"I'm afraid the investigation of this matter will be handed over to someone else. My task is almost over here. The emperor will not hand over this case to me again."
The next step is to interrogate the officials on the list. The emperor needs to carefully consider which ones to keep.
In Jin Province, the graphite mine involves a huge amount of money, which is a great supplement to the Ministry of Revenue, and the emperor will not send her there.
"Then you are wrong this time." The second prince smiled meaningfully.
"You may not believe it..." The Second Prince's smile was hidden in the candlelight, dim and unclear.
"The emperor doesn't trust anyone, and he doesn't trust any of his sons. This time, many officials are implicated. How can he allow others to sleep soundly before his bed? Besides, this is a good time to test you. What if the fourth son eagerly sends the list? The emperor will not hand over the power to him. He is afraid that the fourth son will plant his own people."
Jiang Youzhen was a little surprised. She thought the emperor favored the Fourth Prince. After all, such a big matter was entrusted to the Fourth Prince.
"Ever since the Heavenly Secret Stone was revealed, my father has become a frightened bird. Everyone he sees seems to be a traitor and wants to usurp the throne. But he has been hiding his thoughts and does not want to show his anxiety."
The second prince straightened his sleeves and said, "Just wait and see! This time, except for those who are still useful, the emperor will definitely punish them severely, and there will be another bloody storm in the court."
Jiang Youzhen's heart moved and he rubbed his fingers.
