It sounds like it makes some sense.

Yes, with so many territories, why did Boer choose this place? The people were so abnormal, even if Liu Zhijie didn't care about them anymore, he should have paid attention to the disease, even if it was for his own sake.

He frowned, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The relationship behind this must be very complicated and it must be very difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhaorong gave up the idea of ​​returning to Beijing. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

Seeing his expression change slightly, Jiang Zhiyu continued, "He can control Liu Zhijie, suppress the situation in Jinzhou, and has connections with Boer. Isn't the Prime Minister aware of who is behind this?"

Jiang Zhaorong looked at her obscurely.

Governor Lian Qisheng, or perhaps, the backer behind Lian Qisheng - Prince Yu!

If it was Prince Yu, Jiang Zhaorong would have felt like retreating.

No matter what, Prince Yu is the emperor's younger brother. If it is really discovered that this matter is related to Prince Yu, whether the emperor will punish Prince Yu is another matter, but those who exposed this matter will inevitably end up in trouble with the emperor.

Seeing that he was about to back down, Jiang Zhiyu added fuel to the fire, "Even if Prime Minister returns to the capital now, will he be able to escape? You've been in Jinzhou for two days now, and outsiders don't know the truth. They're all saying that the Prime Minister used drastic measures to resolve the Jinzhou incident in just one day. Even if you return to the capital, how can the people behind the scenes believe that you have nothing to do with this matter and don't know the inside story?"

Jiang Zhaorong's facial muscles twitched and he suddenly glared at Xu Yaowen.

No wonder they stopped him. This guy must have already made up his mind to push him into the water!

What a vicious mind!

Xu Yaowen, who was stared at innocently, said: "..."

Look at what he is doing. This is the first time he has heard what Zhiyu said!

However, seeing how sternly Zhiyu spoke, could it be that there was indeed another hidden story behind the Jinzhou incident?

But why have the young fish’s thoughts never been mentioned?

When Jiang Zhaorong wasn't noticing, Jiang Zhiyu winked at Xu Yaowen and continued, "Now that things have come to this, Prime Minister, why don't you just stay calm and cooperate with us? We'll get to the bottom of the Jinzhou incident so we can have an explanation to His Majesty. If you return to Shengjing like this, it's hard to say what will happen next."

"What's more, as long as the real culprit is not caught, the people of Jinzhou will live in dire straits. As the Prime Minister, I must share His Majesty's worries and restore peace to Jinzhou!"

Jiang Zhiyu's voice was passionate. Jiang Zhaorong looked at her with an indescribable expression. Suddenly, he snorted in the direction of Xu Yaowen, stood up and left.

Xu Yaowen: “…”

Well, as long as the goal is achieved!

He dismissed the servants who were waiting nearby and approached Jiang Zhiyu: "Zhiyu, is what you just said true? Was Prince Yu really involved in this matter?"

"No, I don't care."

"Donkey..." Xu Yaowen blinked and raised his voice: "Donkey's?"

So real? He almost believed it!

"Right," Jiang Zhiyu replied casually, "This self-proclaimed smart guy only believes what he thinks. If I had directly told him it was Prince Yu's conspiracy, he wouldn't have believed it. Only by being ambiguous like this will he have no doubt about it."

Xu Yaowen: “…”

He gave a dry laugh.

[Besides, Prince Yu is busy mending his brotherly relationship, so he has no time to care about Jinzhou's affairs.]

Repair brotherly relationship?

Xu Yaowen lowered his eyes, his expression unclear.

"Don't worry about him. Just send someone to follow him. Jiang Zhaorong will definitely not refuse."

Xu Yaowen quickly asked his two trusted subordinates to take three or four people to follow Jiang Zhaorong. As Jiang Zhiyu said, Jiang Zhaorong did not refuse.

…

On the hillside, two burly men loudly reported, "We've figured it out. The high-ranking official who came up is actually the Prime Minister. More importantly, he only brought one person with him!"

one person? !

All the big men had some joy on their faces, but the one they called "Big Brother" frowned tightly, "Only one person? Have you really investigated it thoroughly?"

The big man who reported the incident had a change of expression on his face: "Brother, what are you talking about? We've been brothers for many years, and you still don't trust us?"

"Use your brains! Is that what I'm trying to say?" The eldest brother looked at them with dismay, "When an official travels, he only brings one person with him. That person must be a peerless master! Officials value their lives more than we do!"

When he said this, the faces of the big men suddenly realized. Yes, those officials were fed with delicacies every day, but they were reluctant to die. They came all the way to this remote place with only one person...

The big men all felt like retreating.

The man who had instigated the plot earlier uttered a "Pah" and said, "He's just one man. Even if he's a peerless master, what's there to be afraid of? With so many of us, we can kill him with a random punch! Besides, we're not trying to kill him. If all else fails, we can send someone to lure him away first, and then we'll attack the official!"

“This is good!”

As soon as he put forward this idea, the others agreed with it, and then a new question came up.

"Who will lead it then?"

Everyone looked at each other, and the man who came up with the idea rolled his eyes and said, "Let Sprinter go. He's the fastest runner here!"

In a moment, a thin man was pushed out. The eldest brother glanced at him, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes, and then said, "Stand up straight! You are not a man if you are timid! This mission is given to you. Can you complete it?!"

The man was thin and his voice was as soft as a mosquito: "Can..."

There was a hint of disgust in everyone's eyes, and the man seemed to have noticed it, his neck shrank.

The big man pushed him away and said, "Alright, stop standing there and get ready. Go get your horses and weapons ready. Wait for the signal over there and get ready to attack!"

The man staggered and almost fell down after being pushed by him. Nuonuo responded twice and ran away in small steps.

The big man who pushed him spat on the ground: "Damn it, I just can't stand his effeminate behavior. Big brother, why did you keep him in the first place?! He can't even hear clearly, and he can't do things well. It makes me angry!"

The others seemed to have been holding grudges for a long time, and as soon as this person finished speaking, they all started complaining.

The eldest brother chuckled, his tone hinting at contempt. "I don't want to keep him. It's the boss's decision... Never mind. Why bring him up? Get your stuff ready. We'll do something big later. Not to mention not having to leave the mountain for over a decade, even if we occupy another mountaintop, that's more than enough!"

There seemed to be a deep meaning in his words, but the big men did not think about it too much, but just laughed along with him.

It was dusk, and a few golden rays penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the mountain peaks.

A large group of men on horseback were waiting at the foot of the mountain, closely watching the movements in the city.

There have been no civilians outside the city these days, but the city gates are still wide open. They don't take it to heart and are just waiting for the signal.
