Chapter 35: Harvest, Big

[Meow, it turns out that Doujiyan didn’t recognize me. I was so scared that I almost killed her.]

[However, how come this chicken eye is so good at catching people? It caught me in such a short time? ]

[She even wants me to take her to find her mother. Do you think she is a tadpole? ]

[By the way, doesn't Doukiyan have any maids around him? ]

Fang Qingxue certainly has a maid.

But a fire suddenly broke out in Fang's mansion. Some of the maids around her escaped in the chaos, while others got separated in the confusion.

When Fang Qingxue came to her senses, she was alone.

Now the Fang Mansion was filled with fireworks, voices, and people coming and going. Fang Qingxue subconsciously felt a little scared.

So she grabbed Jiang Yueyao, who seemed reliable, and wanted to take her with her to find the mistress of the Fang family, Fang Qingxue's mother.

In such chaotic times, Fang Qingxue only felt at ease when she was with her mother.

As for arresting people, it is mainly for the purpose of building up courage.

"Take me to find my mother quickly. When we find her, I will bring you to my side as a first-class maid!"

As Fang Qingxue spoke, she took off her earrings and stuffed them into Jiang Yueyao's hands.

"This is a reward for you!"

Jiang Yueyao raised her eyebrows.

[Dou Jiyan is quite generous]

[Since you have requested so sincerely, I can only... reluctantly agree.]

Mainly...

Jiang Yueyao suddenly thought, if she had encountered a fire or an earthquake in her previous life, what would her first reaction be?

That means running away, and taking the most valuable things with you with you.

There should be some good things around the mistress of the Fang family, right?

In fact, it was just as Jiang Yueyao thought.

When she and Fang Qingxue found Madam Fang, she was followed by several maids, each holding a box... At the same time, Madam Fang herself was holding a small wooden box tightly.

Seeing her daughter coming over, Mrs. Fang breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, and then...

call out!

Afterwards, there was a slight stinging pain in her neck. Mrs. Fang rolled her eyes and her body went limp.

Meanwhile...

Several maids beside Madam Fang and Fang Qingxue also fell to the ground one after another.

【Hehehe~~】

Jiang Yueyao rubbed her hands excitedly.

[Oh my god, is this what it feels like to have a dead elementary school student inject an anesthetic? It's kind of exciting! ]

【Come on, come on, let me show you what good stuff you have】

I opened a box and found it was full of jewels.

I opened another box, and it was full of silver.

He opened another box, and it was full of gold!

And Mrs. Fang was holding on to that box tightly...

【Oh my god! 】

The box was filled with paper, but it wasn't paper.

Because these are all banknotes and land deeds!

"Gudong~"

Jiang Yueyao couldn't help swallowing.

Although this box is the smallest, it has the highest value.

What else can I say?

"receive!"

Jiang Yueyao directly put all these boxes into her own space.

The harvest tonight is really huge.

Not only did they take away all the things that the old man with chicken eyes hid in the secret room, but they also took away the important assets of the Fang family.

After putting away the things, Jiang Yueyao kindly dragged the few people into the room and considerately closed the door.

When Jiang Yueyao set the fire before, she was still very conscientious and did not burn down the house on purpose. It was just that the fire looked a little big, and she thought it could be put out quickly and would not spread here.

By that time, the effect of the anesthetic injection given by Mrs. Fang and the others had worn off.

…

…

In the dark night.

Some people were putting out the fire, some were in a coma, some were fleeing the scene quickly, and some... were following silently.

The steel refining method proposed by Jiang Yueyao was presented to His Majesty by Chu Wuxun, in exchange for the title of Lord Jiang's father.

Today, Chu Wuxun took the initiative to accept the task of announcing the imperial decree to the Jiang family, also in order to inform them of the reason in person.

Such a great credit cannot be given directly to Jiang Yueyao, it can only be placed on Old Man Jiang... Chu Wuxun always feels a little sorry for the little girl.

But who knows...

But after the decree was announced, he heard the little girl's inner voice and knew that she was preparing to act secretly again.

The target of the action was the household of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Then subconsciously... Chu Wuxun appeared outside the Minister of Revenue's house tonight and saw this wonderful scene.

Although Jiang Yueyao's appearance has changed, but... the constant voice of her heart is simply the most accurate 'compass needle'. Even with his eyes closed, Chu Wuxun can clearly know where Jiang Yueyao is and what has happened.

The Minister of Revenue had a large amount of unknown finances.

The Minister of Revenue and the Seventh Prince had a secret meeting.

The seventh prince was hunted down by a mysterious assassin late at night.

…

"Ayi, before the march route was leaked, one of our teams of food supplies was burned by the Beiliang people, right?"

Falling far behind Jiang Yueyao, Chu Wuxun suddenly spoke.

Xue Yi, who had been following Chu Wuxun tonight, responded quickly.

"That's right. If the food and fodder hadn't been destroyed, we wouldn't have launched the attack in advance, and General Zhang wouldn't have..."

Thinking of everything on the battlefield, Xue Yi's eyes turned red.

Chu Wuxun took a deep breath.

"We thought that the people who colluded with Beiliang were in the Ministry of War, in the Cabinet...but we overlooked the Ministry of Revenue."

Xue Yi was puzzled: "Ministry of Revenue?"

Xue Yi certainly knew that what their prince had been doing since returning to the capital this time was to find out the person who colluded with the Beiliang people to sell the information of Da Chu during the Battle of Beiliang.

Can……

What does this have to do with the Ministry of Revenue?

The Ministry of Revenue was only responsible for providing food and fodder; they didn’t even know the marching route.

Chu Wuyang's eyes flickered.

The Ministry of Revenue did not know the marching route, but... the Ministry of Revenue could infer the distribution of the army through food and fodder!

and……

How could a small minister of the Ministry of Revenue possess such a huge sum of money? Where did it come from? And why did he hide it so secretly?

If Jiang Yueyao hadn't found the money, probably no one would have known about it.

This made Chu Wuxiang doubt...his previous investigation direction might not be comprehensive.

What shocked Chu Wuyan even more was...

It turns out that the Seventh Prince has a close personal relationship with the Minister of Revenue who possesses a large amount of hidden wealth.

The Seventh Prince...what role did he play in the Battle of Beiliang?

And those who were hunting down the Seventh Prince... they were clearly assassins!

In the entire Chu State, there are only a handful of people who can raise death warriors.

And why did this person send out assassins to hunt down the Seventh Prince?

For a moment, Chu Wuxun felt that the truth was shrouded in fog.

But at the same time…

Chu Wuxun looked at the small figure in the distance.

He seemed to have found someone who could guide him to the truth.

Jiang Yueyao, how did she know so much top-secret information?

Does she know who is the person hiding in the mist and secretly colluding with Beiliang? !
