Chapter 792: What you learn from books is always shallow
"He will cooperate with us."
Song Jiuyuan was obviously in a very good mood, "I have already asked someone to leak some information.
True or false, fake or real, as long as he dares to come, I will definitely catch him!"
"If he senses something is wrong, he may not come."
Jiang Wan knew that the supplies Qin Yu had collected were particularly considerable, and he also had a lot of money.
If that "His Highness" wasn't greedy, they might not have succeeded this time.
"He has to come even if he doesn't want to."
Song Jiuyuan narrowed his eyes dangerously and held Jiang Wan's hand, "He won't act so quickly. Let's go back to the inn and have a good rest first."
"Okay."
Jiang Wan had no intention of staying in the county government office, so Song Jiuyuan wrote a memorial about everything going on here and sent it back to Kyoto as quickly as possible.
I believe the new emperor will send reinforcements soon.
When they returned to the inn, Muxiang was reading a book obediently. Jiang Wan was a good person and even examined her.
But I didn't expect Muxiang to suggest going to the mountains to collect herbs. "Master, I read books all day long, but rarely come into contact with medicinal herbs."
"I know what you mean. What you learn from books is always superficial."
Jiang Wan frowned, worry in her eyes, "It's just that the weather is not very good now.
It's so cold, it's not safe for a girl like you to go to the mountains."
"Master, I have the protective powder you gave me!"
Muxiang is a bit persistent. She stays in the inn all day long. She is almost bored to death.
"Let her go."
Song Jiuyuan advised Jiang Wan, "I will send someone to follow and protect her."
"Thank you, Master!"
Mu Xiang didn't wait for Jiang Wan to speak, and was too busy to interrupt, not giving Jiang Wan any chance to refuse.
Jiang Wan was quite helpless, "Okay, then, be careful when you go to the mountains, and you must come back before dark."
"I'll try my best!"
Muxiang chuckled and trotted happily back to her room. Then she put on her small backpack, put on her thick coat, and walked out of the city with her hat on.
"You never used to speak for others."
Jiang Wan looked at Song Jiuyuan with curiosity. This man used to not care about other people's affairs except those of the Song family.
"She is your apprentice. As your master, I naturally treat her as a junior."
As soon as Song Jiuyuan finished speaking, his dark eyes fell on Jiang Wan's pretty face with a hint of teasing.
"Is Wanwan jealous?"
"What nonsense are you talking about."
Jiang Wan patted him speechlessly, "Muxiang is my apprentice, how could I be jealous.
As you said, I treat her as a junior."
"She hates evil and hates evil, a bit like you."
Song Jiuyuan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there are still many differences. Wanwan, you are unique in the world."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Jiang Wan's lips curled up slightly when she was praised, and she was obviously in a good mood. She took Song Jiuyuan into the house.
"Lie down and rest for a while. His people may contact Qin Yu in the evening."
"You are right."
Song Jiuyuan patted the couch next to him and said, "I can't sleep alone, please stay with me."
Jiang Wan was half-dragged and half-held in his arms. She thought this guy had other intentions.
Unexpectedly, I soon heard the sound of shallow breathing.
Song Jiuyuan was really tired during this period. The breath from Jiang Wan made him feel very peaceful and he fell asleep quickly.
Jiang Wan was still having wild thoughts, and was afraid that Song Jiuyuan would wake up if she moved, so she simply let him hold her tightly.
I don't know when, she fell asleep.
When she woke up, Song Jiuyuan was no longer by her side, and Mu Xiang had not come back yet, so Jiang Wan simply entered the space.
It had been a long time since the herbs and fruits were harvested. Jiang Wan was busy and sweating as she harvested another crop of grain.
Looking at the space filled with supplies, Jiang Wan grinned. These things gave her enough sense of security.
After finishing her work and getting all sticky, Jiang Wan simply took a bath in the space. After taking good care of herself, she felt hungry.
She took out some ingredients, rented a small kitchen from the innkeeper, and prepared the food, but they hadn't returned yet.
Jiang Wan simply kept some for Muxiang and went to the county government office with the food box.
At that time, the news that Madam Wang abused her power for personal gain spread throughout the county. Lord Wang put Madam Wang and her accomplices above her own interests and arrested them.
However, only a part of the collected supplies were recovered (and returned to the people), and a lot of money and supplies were missing.
When Jiang Wan arrived, he saw many common people gathered outside the county government office, looking at it curiously.
"I thought Lord Wang was a warm-hearted man in the past. How come he hasn't come out to manage affairs for so long? It turns out that he was almost poisoned to death by his wife!"
"Fortunately, Lord Wang was lucky enough to discover his wife's conspiracy, and only then did we find out the truth about Mrs. Wang's corruption."
"Alas, it's just pitiful for us ordinary people. If the money can be recovered and put into the county government's treasury, we can eat better."
“…”
The people were talking about it, all of them concerned about Mrs. Wang's retribution and the final destination of the money.
If the food was kept in the county government warehouse, these people might still be able to have a bite or two of porridge and steamed buns.
Jiang Wan's carriage stopped in front of the county government office. She was wearing a veil and calmly got off the carriage carrying a food box.
"Hey, who is that?"
"She's so beautiful, she doesn't look like someone from our area. Could she be Lord Wang's daughter?"
"No, Lord Wang's daughter is not that old. I heard that a big shot has come to the county, bigger than the county magistrate."
"How do you know?"
"Hush, keep your voice down. It's my eldest uncle's cousin's aunt's married daughter's father-in-law who is cleaning the county government office. Don't tell anyone about this."
“…”
Jiang Wan: ...
These people were talking quite loudly, and Jiang Wan naturally heard it all. She raised her eyes and scanned the crowd.
The crowd was moving, and it would not be a bad idea for "Your Highness"'s people to blend in with the crowd.
She thought about it, slowed down her pace, accidentally bumped into an old lady, and quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, ma'am."
"It doesn't matter."
The old lady looked at Jiang Wan with a gleam in her eyes, "I know you didn't mean it, my girl. It's just a small thing."
"Auntie, you are a good person."
Jiang Wan gave the other party a nice guy card without blushing or beating her heart, and whispered: "I still have to deliver food, I'll go first."
"My dear, do you know anyone from the county government?"
The old lady asked knowingly and pulled Jiang Wan's sleeve, her eyes full of curiosity and gossip.
Jiang Wan satisfied her curiosity and lowered her voice and said, "Someone from our family is indeed in the county government office."
"My daughter, you are so lucky."
The old lady rolled her eyes and said, "Hasn't the person been arrested? Why are these officials still busying around?"
The old lady was a simple commoner and could not tell the difference between the clothes worn by the yamen runners and those worn by Song Jiuyuan's secret guards.
Anyway, in their eyes, these are all officials.
"There are still some properties that have not been recovered."
Jiang Wan lowered her voice and said, "Auntie, please don't tell anyone. I only told you because you look kind."
The corners of the old lady's mouth twitched. They had already heard about this, and she looked worried.
"I heard there's a lot of money, oh."
