Chapter 458: All at once

Lingnan.

After Jiang Tangtang returned from the orchard, she began to prepare for her trip to Mobei. Unexpectedly, before she could make her arrangements, new news arrived.

This time, news came from Liangzhou, Pengcheng and Shanggu at the same time.

Just like in Mobei, there are also cases of immigrants spontaneously combusting for unknown reasons, which has now caused panic among the people, and many immigrants are afraid to move back.

Jiang Tangtang took the map and frowned as he looked at the places where the spontaneous combustion accidents occurred.

On the surface, these places have absolutely no connection.

What was the other party's purpose in doing this? Was it simply to sabotage her implementation of the new policy?

Suddenly, she thought of a possibility and called Guo Yu, "Has Yuan San sent back any news?"

Guo Yu shook his head, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Yuan San had been following Jiang Tangtang for the past two years, and his actions had become increasingly cautious. This time, he was assigned by Jiang Tangtang to follow Mu Yuchong and his group, and he had been reporting information on time.

But there was no news until today, Jiang Tangtang rubbed his temples.

I'm afraid something happened to Yuan San.

It's just that he has always been cautious and has rarely made mistakes over the years, so she didn't think about it, and only now did she realize it belatedly.

She immediately sent someone to contact Yuan San.

Soon, news came back.

As she had guessed, the people sent by Yuan San were discovered by the enemy's men and were almost all killed. Now they have completely lost any trace of the enemy.

After rescuing Yuan San, Jiang Tangtang could be sure from his words that the other party must have discovered Yuan San and others' tracking long ago.

But the other party pretended not to notice, confusing them and making them mistakenly believe that they were incompetent, and look down on them.

It wasn't until yesterday that I suddenly took action and knocked them all down.

Jiang Tangtang suspected that the information Yuan San had sent back before could not be fully trusted.

I'm afraid that was also the information that was deliberately leaked to them in order to paralyze them. They didn't find out anything that was truly private and important.

"Your Majesty, we were careless this time. Please punish us!" Yuan San knelt on the ground, his face full of shame.

How can I not be ashamed?

The people he brought to track and investigate the other party were almost wiped out, and he almost died in this mission.

Although the opponent was cunning and concealed his strength, it was largely due to his carelessness.

Relying on the fact that his Majesty is extraordinary, he thinks he is also very powerful...

But I didn't expect to receive such a heavy lesson here.

Jiang Tangtang looked at Yuan San, who was covered in wounds, and frowned slightly.

It seemed the other party had far more experts than she had imagined, and they were even more formidable. Although Yuan San hadn't been effective this time, their skills were truly impressive. Yet, they were instantly reduced to rubble by the other party.

It seemed that it wasn't just Yuan San and the others who were careless and underestimated the other party. Hadn't she also relied on receiving the news early on, thinking that everything was under her control, and thus underestimated the other party?

She sighed, "Go back and recuperate first. Come back to receive your punishment after you're healed."

After Yuan San left, Jiang Tangtang looked at the map in thought for a moment, then ordered someone to change the itinerary.

Guo Yu wanted to ask why they had to go to Shanggu, but he quickly realized what was going on.

After Su and Madam Lu left Lingnan and returned to the capital, they did not stay in the capital honestly.

He went to Shanggu and governed the local area.

If it were in the previous dynasty, the two of them would have been drowned in the saliva of the censors for their behavior, and the impeachment memorials every day would have drowned Jiang Tangtang.

But unlike the previous dynasty, the current emperor is a woman. There is no saying that women cannot take the imperial examinations or become officials.

What's more, there are so many new policies and so many new departments have been established.

Even during the coronation ceremony after the founding of the Damin Republic, Emperor Jiang Tangtang was not in a hurry. He did not care about the actions of the palace when summoning ministers, and acted too independently and eccentrically.

Too many things that go against common sense have happened, and the nerves of the officials in Damin have become increasingly nervous.

Many things that they could not accept before, even if they were beaten to death, now seem to be acceptable.

The Su family was just there to govern a place.

In everyone's opinion, it is a very normal thing.

And now, with such a big thing happening within the Su family's jurisdiction, Jiang Tangtang must go and take a look.

Jiang Tangtang quickly made arrangements and sent officials to several locations. However, Jiang Tangtang did not go with the officials.

Although she used all the horses she had specially trained in the space for this trip, and these horses pulled the cart almost twice as fast as ordinary horses, it was still too slow for her.

She took a few children with her and rode Gugu to Shanggu.

In less than an hour, Jiang Tangtang arrived at Shanggu.

It was not easy for the three children to ride on Gugu with her, so she put them in the space and brought them to Shanggu together.

However, apart from Lu Shiyan and a few children, no one else knew about the space, and Jiang Tangtang didn't intend to let anyone else know about the space.

So after arriving in Shanggu, she found a remote and deserted official road, moved the carriage out of the space, and then drove the carriage to the Shanggu government office.

Although she hadn't driven a car for a long time, Jiang Tangtang had not forgotten the skills she learned during exile. In addition, this horse was the first wild horse she raised in the space, and it had already developed intelligence.

Even if she can't drive, there won't be any problem.

Jiang Tangtang and the children had all changed their clothes, and the carriage had a very low-key carriage shed. In short, everything looked very ordinary and inconspicuous.

If there was anything eye-catching, it was that the hair of the horse pulling the cart looked too smooth and shiny. It was obviously a top-notch horse. Most people would not be willing to use such a good horse to pull a cart.

Of course, now that something big had happened in the Upper Valley, everyone was talking about the bodies that had suddenly appeared in the mountains and the horrific sight of the immigrants combusting.

Everyone was in a state of panic, and few paid any attention to the horses pulling Jiang Tangtang's carriage. Mother and son arrived at the Shanggu government office quite smoothly.

When Su saw them, she almost cried out in surprise, "How come you are so fast?"

"Grandma!" Lu Tiantian jumped off the carriage, ran over, took her hand and said coquettishly, "Tiantian, I miss you so much! Are you and great-grandma okay?"

Then, brothers Lu Jingcheng and Lu Jingheng also jumped out of the car. They saluted Su calmly and said, "Grandma!"

Seeing her two grandsons, tears welled up in the corners of Su's eyes. She said repeatedly, "Good, good, good, you've grown taller and are more calm and sensible than last year! You are all good children! Your great-grandmother and I are fine, but you guys rushed here in such a hurry. Did you suffer on the way?"
