Chapter 102
That day, Lin Jingzhou quietly sorted through the documents in his hands. He was very slow, and if you looked closely, you could tell his eyes seemed to be vacant.
He was silently reciting some important information. Few people knew that he actually had a very good memory. Although not to the level of Yao Chunnuan's photographic memory, it was much better than that of ordinary people.
At this moment, Ji Ze appeared with four uniformed soldiers. Two of them were guarding the door, and he led the other two in.
"Lin Jingzhou, you stole military secrets, and your superiors have ordered your arrest."
Hearing this, Lin Jingzhou's heart tightened, but he said, "General Ji, is there some misunderstanding here? I'm the general's brother-in-law. To be frank, this military settlement belongs to my eldest brother-in-law, and I'm the beneficiary. How could I possibly do something like that?"
"Don't bother to argue, just take him away!" Ji Ze said the latter part to the two soldiers.
Lin Jingzhou struggled, "You can't do this to me, I am your general's brother-in-law! I want to see your general." At the same time, before he turned his head, Lin Jingzhou made a secret gesture, and a servant on the periphery retreated without a trace and ran towards the Xing Mansion.
Lin Jingzhou was restless and insisted on seeing the general, and he eventually met him.
The general stared at the sand table in the conference room without looking up. "I heard you wanted to see me? The evidence is irrefutable, so don't bother."
Lin Jingzhou said confidently, "If you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext. I know clearly whether I did those things or not."
The general chuckled, "You didn't even cry when you saw the coffin. Aren't you just relying on the Xing Xingyue Society's unconditional trust in you?"
Lin Jingzhou thought, so what if he thought so. But on his face, he didn't show any fearlessness. "General, you misunderstood me."
"Okay, stop quibbling. Don't you just want Xing Xingyue to protect you? Here she is."
Lin Jingzhou followed his gaze and saw Xing Xingyue coming with a bulging belly, but her face didn't look anxious at all.
The general pointed at Lin Jingzhou and said to Xing Xingyue, "Look, this man stole military secrets from the Yichun military settlement. I want to punish him according to the law. What do you say?"
Before Xing Xingyue could speak, Lin Jingzhou hurriedly said, "Ayue, your brother misunderstood. My current position is to organize some daily information every day. How can I have access to any military secrets?" Lin Jingzhou tried to blur the focus and blur the concept.
"Regardless of whether the information is important or not, what you did is wrong."
"Ayue, I didn't do it, believe me. This was a deliberate trap set by them. You know, your brother has never agreed with us. But I didn't expect that he still has such a strong opinion of me now." Lin Jingzhou tried to set the general and Xing Xingyue against each other.
Xing Xingyue said to him disappointedly, "I didn't expect you to be such a person."
Xing Xingyue's words made Lin Jingzhou stunned for a moment. This reaction was not right. Xing Xingyue's cold attitude also made him alert. It seemed that something had happened without his knowledge.
"Ayue, what's wrong with you?" Lin Jingzhou asked cautiously, "Are you still angry with me?"
Just then, Jiang Ming walked in. As soon as he came in, he quickly came to Xing Xingyue's side and put the cloak in his hand on her, complaining, "Why did you leave so quickly? I just turned around to get you a cloak, and in the blink of an eye, you disappeared."
"Xingyue, you, you guys--" Lin Jingzhou looked at the scene in astonishment.
His girlfriend was poached? Is that true? Lin Jingzhou was stunned.
Jiang Ming pulled Xing Xingyue behind him to protect him and looked at Lin Jingzhou warily, but Xing Xingyue did not refuse.
Watching the interaction between the two, Lin Jingzhou thought it was ridiculous. He spent the whole day hunting geese, but in the end he was pecked by them.
He knew how much Xing Xingyue liked him, and she was completely devoted to him.
Besides, soldiers are generally quite stubborn. Xing Changfeng had been very dissatisfied with him before. But because he had Xing Xingyue under his thumb, Xing Changfeng had no choice but to give up on her and declare her dead. In his eyes, it was all impotent rage that couldn't hurt him in the slightest.
Because blood ties couldn't be severed just by his own will, not to mention that they had a biological father and mother above them. Everything had indeed developed as he had expected.
He had no idea that one day he would be treated the same way he treated them. They actually used a beauty trap.
Xing Xingyue no longer cared about him, which was equivalent to him losing his most important amulet.
Lin Jingzhou took two deep breaths and forced himself to calm down. "Xingyue, how could you do this to me? When I was fighting for you, for our children, for our family, you betrayed me?" He was trying to arouse her guilt. He had long known how cruel a woman could be once she had lost her feelings for him. Begging was useless.
Sure enough, Xing Xingyue felt guilty because of his questioning.
At this time, Jiang Ming held her hand. "This isn't your fault. He approached you with ulterior motives in the beginning, and you just woke up. His efforts were only to achieve his ambitions, not for you. Think about it, you could have lived a life of luxury without his hard work or struggle. Why is he blaming you now? How can this be justified?"
Xing Xingyue: Yes, she originally lived a life of luxury, but after following him, she became poor. Shouldn't he work hard and strive for success?
Lin Jingzhou chuckled. Just by listening to the man's words, he knew he had a way with women and had a firm grasp on Xing Xingyue's temperament. He stopped wasting his breath and blamed himself on his own carelessness, which had led to the fire in the backyard.
Lin Jingzhou was quickly taken away.
The general waved his hand and let Xing Xingyue and Jiang Ming leave.
Jiang Ming knew what was good for him and quickly pulled Xing Xingyue away so that they wouldn't be bothered by him.
Lin Jingzhou was taken away and tortured.
"Come on, tell me the truth, who do you work for?" Ji Ze asked with a whip. Ji Ze was the most active person in Yao Chunnuan's entire plan to expel Wang Lang. He wanted to avenge Wang Lang for digging up his foundation that day.
After being whipped, Lin Jingzhou snorted, "You have caught me, I don't believe you can't find the person behind me."
"Tsk, you're still pretty tough. But you don't know, do you? Because of Wang Lang, we've investigated you thoroughly. On the surface, you're a member of the different surname Wang Ruyin, but in reality, you're the Crown Prince's man, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Jingzhou's heart was in turmoil. He had never expected that his secret identity would be completely exposed by them. And what did this have to do with Wang Lang? He had always believed that he had done something wrong and was exposed.
"What does this have to do with Wang Lang?" Lin Jingzhou endured the pain, determined to get to the bottom of the matter. From what Ji Ze said, Wang Lang was the reason he was exposed? However, the Crown Prince's plan for Yichun was two separate, overt and covert, lines. It could be said that he essentially only followed the Crown Prince's orders and had no contact with Wang Lang.
"Of course it's related. If our Chief Secretary Yao hadn't investigated him, we wouldn't have been able to find out about you."
So, he's unlucky?
Ji Ze stopped talking about it, not bringing up the topic again. Too much is as bad as too little; just a little bit of information was enough. Smart people are the best at overthinking things, mixing the real with the fake, the real with the fake, and they can come up with a complete story on their own.
Thinking that his defeat was entirely caused by Wang Lang, Lin Jingzhou's face turned gloomy.
Later, Lin Jingzhou did something secretly.
But his actions could not be hidden from the senior officials of Yichun Military Village.
Ji Ze said, "The channels they used to send letters were very secretive."
"Master Yao, we don't know what message he sent. Will the content be as we expected?"
Yao Chunnuan said, "Don't worry, Lin Jingzhou's exposure and death are certain. He knows that no matter whether what we say is true or false, Wang Lang will be the target of his anger. After all, it's better to put the blame on others than to bear the responsibility yourself, right? It's better to die at the hands of a companion than to die due to your own mistakes, isn't it?"
*******
In the next few days, Wang Lang kept a close eye on his family, taking strict precautions, for fear that Yao Chunnuan would take action.
Lei Qian was also frightened by his words and became secretly alert.
But Wang Lang kept waiting, and waiting, until finally a transfer order arrived: a secret order from the crown prince, ordering him to be transferred from Yichun to the southeast.
Wang Lang was stunned at first, then he was in disbelief, "Why is this?"
Why had the Crown Prince suddenly transferred him from Yichun? The key point was, if he was just transferring him, he hadn't even been informed in advance? Had he done something wrong to displease the Crown Prince?
The Supervisor remained silent. Was he supposed to tell him that, because of him, a well-laid chess piece of the Crown Prince's Palace had been lost? If that chess piece hadn't been discovered, it might have played an unexpected role in the future. Thinking of Lin Jingzhou who had been lost, the Supervisor felt a pang of regret. No wonder the Crown Prince was angry.
But the supervisor knew that if he didn't give a reason, Wang Lang would probably refuse to obey the transfer order, so he simply explained the matter.
Wang Lang never expected that Lin Jingzhou was actually the prince's man. But thinking of the ending of Xing Changfeng in his previous life, it seemed that everything made sense.
"No, Lin Jingzhou was discovered, how can you say it was because of me?" The two of them have never had any intersection, isn't this nonsense?
This was someone in secret who received the message that Lin Jingzhou had finally delivered, and the message exactly said this.
Suddenly, Wang Lang's face changed as he thought of something. "I know. This is Yao Chunnuan's plan."
He finally realized that Yao Chunnuan's purpose was to expel him from Yichun!
Thinking of this, Wang Lang hurriedly said, "Sir Inspector, the prince transferred me away from Yichun, which is probably exactly what she wants!" Yao Chunnuan is really amazing. He has been on guard against her all the time, but he never thought that she would do such a thing.
"Lord Wang, you are no longer suitable to stay in Yichun." The Supervisor pointed this out.
Wang Lang's face was gloomy. His defeat in Yichun would be a stain on his political career. Yichun was his starting point, but he had thought it would be a bright and glorious one, but he had not expected it to end like this.
"Sir Inspector, is there really no room for maneuver? We have already guessed that this is Yao Chunnuan's plan, so why are we still jumping into it?" Wang Lang was really unwilling to accept it.
The Overseer sighed, "Master Wang, you must also consider the current situation. The situation is pressing. Do you understand, Master Wang?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had deployed both covert and covert personnel in Yichun, and deploying someone like Lin Jingshu was no easy feat. He was counting on him to be effective at a crucial moment, and now that Wang Lang was dead, it was hard not to assume that if he continued to stay in Yichun, he would inevitably make more mistakes.
Wang Lang is also a talented person. Since he can't play a role in Yichun, he should be moved to another place and put to good use.
Wang Lang remained silent. He also knew that if the prince had other plans and he stayed in Yichun, these plans might eventually become a failure because of him.
This is a threat, a threat from Yao Chunnuan, a naked threat.
"Sir Wang, it's best that you leave Yichun. Here, you're too focused on your battle with your ex-wife and not enough on managing Yichun. The Crown Prince is sending you to the southeast, a strategic location. I hope you can achieve something there and live up to the Crown Prince's expectations."
"Who will take over Yichun after I leave?" Wang Lang suddenly asked this.
The Supervisor shook his head. "The Crown Prince won't be sending any more troops for the time being." Yichun has the powerful Yichun Military Colony, Prefect Lei is already the Crown Prince's man, and Marshal Zhu is on the Third Prince's side. The situation remains relatively balanced, so they won't be sending any more troops for the time being. They're content with maintaining the status quo in Yichun; their demands aren't high. After all, they're short on manpower, with their various deployments.
"Sir Wang, there's still a long way to go. Let's try to look ahead. Right now, our goal is to expand across the country. You can't just focus on Yichun; that's too limiting." The Supervisor also felt it was a pity. Wang Lang's actions in Yichun were indeed misguided. His ex-wife, Yao Chunnuan, a woman of exceptional ability, had, thanks to his unremitting efforts, led to the Yichun military settlement becoming increasingly hostile to the Crown Prince.
本來他們孕育了一個共同的孩子，多麽良好的合作基礎啊。不能說僅憑這一點就能将人完全拉入太子的陣營來，但是雙方合作的可能性還是很大的。但王朗走遠了，雙方漸漸就走到了對立面。讓王朗調離的原因裏也有一部分是因為這個，不能讓水越來越沸騰，還不到白熱化的時候。
其實王朗說這是她的計謀又怎麽樣呢？人家就是有本事讓事情按照她的想法來發展。
