Lu Cijian was taken aback, but quickly recovered. He chuckled and stared at the person in front of him, saying, "Enough silver, enough land and estates."
He had never thought of this method before. It was an excellent idea, as it could save those people's lives and allow him to do what he wanted to do.
When the Minister of Justice arrives, he can tell him about this idea.
They've done a great service this time; there's no reason why their request shouldn't be granted.
Jiang Yimian nodded in a good mood and said with a smile, "When the people from the Ministry of Justice arrive, I will go with you to see him."
If the Ministry of Justice agrees, she will find an opportunity to visit Baoxiangfang. If the shop is suitable, this estate can become her workshop.
It's only a day's journey from the capital, close by, and remote. Plus, everyone in the estate is her own person, so there's no need to worry about the formula being leaked.
The more I thought about it, the more feasible this method seemed.
Having solved the problem, she felt completely relaxed.
Looking at Jiang Yimian's relaxed smile, Lu Cijian was unconsciously infected by it, and the corners of his lips lifted slightly. Thinking of something, he quickly said, "Wang Er is going back to Qinghe Town tomorrow. Do you have a letter to give to Aunt Wang? He can send it back with her."
Jiang Dazhuang is still injured and unconscious, so they will definitely have to stay here for some time, at least one or two months.
If we don't send a message back to Aunt Wang, she'll definitely worry, and Mianmian probably won't be able to sleep soundly here.
Jiang Yimian's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this. She hugged the person in front of her and said with a smile, "You're so thoughtful. If you keep treating me this well, I'm really going to fall in love with you."
Lu Cijian's eyes flickered, and he reached out to hug the person in his arms back, saying earnestly, "I just want to make you happy."
I also hope that Mianmian will truly like him in the future.
He could sense that Mianmian liked him a little bit, but he felt it wasn't enough; he wanted Mianmian to love him.
Just then, Wang San's voice rang out from outside the door.
"Young Master, the people from the Ministry of Justice have arrived."
Before Lu Cijian could speak, Jiang Yimian suddenly pulled away from his embrace, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "The people from the Ministry of Justice arrived really quickly. Let's go see him right away."
She thought it would take at least a few more days for the Ministry of Justice to arrive, but she never expected it to be so quick.
Lu Cijian glanced at her helplessly, still feeling the sensation of being filled on his chest, and felt a sudden emptiness in his heart.
Yuan Hui, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, was pacing back and forth in the reception room, feeling both worried and uneasy.
The master's attendant suddenly brought a message ordering him to Pingjiang County to investigate Zhu Shichang's plot to rebel. He thought the trip would be difficult and he might encounter misfortune, but unexpectedly, someone had already taken care of it.
He's only here to bring the person back to the capital for questioning and close the case, which leaves him somewhat bewildered.
He became even more curious about who was the person who solved the problem, since no information had been leaked to him.
Moreover, before the official sent the message, he had never heard that the magistrate of Pingjiang County had any intention of rebelling. He just found it strange that a small magistrate with no power or military strength could rebel.
Just then, a handsome, slender young man walked in from outside. He was dressed in a black brocade robe with cloud patterns, and his cold demeanor made the young man pause in surprise.
Looking at that face again, he felt it was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen it before.
Behind him was an equally beautiful and ethereal young woman. The two entered one after the other, and he felt they were quite a good match.
Lu Cijian glanced at the man in his thirties in front of him, recognized him as one of Song Bingcheng's men, and felt no more apprehensive. He figured that Mianmian's request for people could be easily resolved, so he casually sat down and said indifferently, "Zhu Shichang and his group have been captured and are currently being held in the woodshed in the backyard."
These are the testimonies we have gathered.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang San hurriedly walked in, carrying several booklets in his hand.
Yuan Hui nodded, took the booklet and carefully flipped through it a few times. He was so angry that he slammed his hand on the table. "They are really audacious! They dare to do such a treasonous thing right under the nose of the capital. I will send someone to seal up the Wan family's property. I want to see who gave the Wan family the guts."
Master Sun, you shall take a group of men to the Wan family and bring the head of the Wan family back to the capital. No one else shall enter or leave the Wan family without my order.
"Li Yi, go and lock Zhu Shichang and his entourage in the prison cart and escort them back to Beijing immediately."
Sun, the steward, and Li Yi quickly followed Wang San away.
After calming down, Yuan Hui looked at Lu Cijian and Jiang Yimian again, wondering what their identities were and what their relationship was with Song Bingcheng.
Due to his advancing age, Imperial Tutor Song Bingcheng is currently only temporarily serving as Minister of Justice. He is rarely in the capital and appears to be a leisurely old man, but this is not actually the case.
The emperor was taught by his tutor from a young age, and the two had a deep relationship. If it weren't for the fact that the tutor's health wasn't so good, the position of Grand Secretary would have been his.
Although he is currently only holding a temporary post in the Ministry of Justice, his power is not to be underestimated. Just based on his title as Imperial Tutor, his status is extremely noble.
He may seem to care about nothing, but in reality, many officials in the court are his students and have many ties with the emperor.
So what is the relationship between these two people and Song Bingcheng?
Especially that young man, who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, had an extraordinary air about him.
He clearly remembered that this was the first time he had met this person, and he really didn't know why this person felt familiar.
Lu Cijian lifted his eyelids, glanced at Yuan Hui, and said indifferently, "Lord Yuan should know what should be said and what should not be said."
This case was personally supervised by the Minister himself.
He didn't want to return to the capital yet, so he couldn't easily reveal his identity. If the person in front of him recognized him and leaked the information, causing that person to come looking for him, it would inevitably cause more trouble.
Yuan Hui was startled and quickly said respectfully, "Young master, rest assured. The Minister personally reminded me before I came here, so I will not ruin your plans."
The men I brought today are all trustworthy, young master, you need not worry.”
It seems this person's identity is indeed extraordinary. However, now is not the time to dwell on this issue. After all, this person is Song Bingcheng's man and is on the same side as him, so there is no need to investigate too much.
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow at the other party's respectful attitude. It seemed that she had underestimated Lu Cijian's identity. Judging from his respectful manner, Lu Cijian must be from a prominent family.
Suddenly, I felt a little dissatisfied. This guy really has a lot of secrets to hide.
Then, when she thought about the secret she was hiding, she felt it was normal. Everyone has secrets, and she was no exception.
Lu Cijian agreed to bring her over, and obviously had no intention of hiding anything. Thinking of this, her dissatisfaction vanished instantly.
Lu Cijian didn't understand what she was thinking. She would frown one moment and look happy the next, which made him nervous. Fortunately, her fair face didn't show any unhappy expression in the end, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
