Chapter 287 God-given Opportunity

Jiang Wan did not stay in the village, but went to the county government office alone. She entered through the back door of the county government office and met Qin Yue and her mother first.

After hearing the news, Qin Zhen immediately went to the backyard to find her.

The two of them came up with a plan to have Qin Zhen forge a household registration relocation document. In this way, half of the guard mission was completed.

In order to complete the task as quickly as possible, they would most likely capture Jiang Wan directly. As long as they dared to take action, Qin Zhen could openly detain him in jail.

Not to mention that Jiang Wan is now the golden child of the county, even if she is just an ordinary citizen, Qin Zhen will not let anyone take her away by wrong means.

"Uncle Qin, doing this will definitely offend the Jiang family. Aren't you afraid?"

Jiang Wan spoke first.

After all, the scumbag father in Kyoto was at least a fourth-rank official, much higher than Lord Qin. If he offended him, Lord Qin might be punished in the future.

Qin Zhen laughed and stood up.

"I know the Jiang family, but they are only of the fourth rank. I am not afraid of your Uncle Qin."

Although Qin Zhen came from a farming family and his wife's family had little help, he had a good teacher.

His teacher was a second-rank inner cabinet scholar, and several of his fellow brothers and sisters also held high positions.

With his talent, it would be easy for him to be promoted to the fourth rank with the help of his teacher, but then he would be like Jiang Cheng, with no real power.

So later he chose to follow His Majesty's wishes and come to this remote place to take up his post.

His official position is low, but he holds power. If he can achieve more, his path to promotion will be smooth sailing.

The teacher never forgot him and would pass on some news about Kyoto's politicians every month to him. Even though he was far away from Kyoto, he knew a lot about what was going on in Kyoto.

So he is not afraid of Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng also doesn't have the ability to reach out so far to discipline himself.

If he really dares to take action, it is hard to say who will punish whom.

Qin Zhen didn't tell the little girl all this, but just revealed some information about the person above him, and Jiang Wan was immediately happy.

After the discussion, Qin Zhen went to write a document to transfer his household registration.

Because of Jiang Wan's reminder, the name written on the relocation document was Yin Wan. Apart from the name, the other information was exactly the same as Jiang Wan's, even Qin Zhen's seal was genuine.

Several guards took it in their hands, examined it carefully, and accepted it only after confirming that there was no problem.

"Madam and Miss are so cruel. They actually changed their names."

"I think we adults are more ruthless."

When he saw that Yue's family fell from power, his wife and daughter said they didn't want her anymore and he wanted to marry another girl from a wealthy family.

Tsk tsk.

Jiang An glared at the two guards who had gossiped, then politely thanked Qin Zhen and left the county government office.

"Boss, we have moved the eldest lady's household registration out. What should we do now? I see that my husband... Miss Yin is not willing to let the eldest lady follow us."

Jiang An is also worried about this.

Not only was Miss Yin unwilling, the eldest lady was also very resistant. It was probably impossible to expect her to voluntarily follow me back to Kyoto.

"It doesn't matter whether she is willing or not, the household registration has been moved out. You two, go to the manor to buy a little maid, and then prepare the carriage. When the young lady comes, we will set off directly."

Everyone has to listen to Jiang An's words. The two guards immediately went to work obediently.

They came here at a rapid speed, so it was inconvenient to bring maids and carriages, so they did not bring the maids from Kyoto.

In fact, we should bring two maids, preferably maids who have served in the main courtyard. This way, when we meet the young lady, we can at least show some respect.

What a bad decision.

"Boss, are we going to Lianjiagou again today?"

Jiang An was about to nod when his eyes suddenly lit up. He actually saw the eldest lady on the street!

At this time, the eldest lady was standing in front of a food stall, as if she wanted to buy something to eat.

There was no one around her, so she must have come out alone.

A very bold idea suddenly popped up in Jiang An's mind.

He wants to take the person away directly!

It would be foolish not to take advantage of such a golden opportunity.

Anyway, the master wanted the eldest daughter to go back to marry her off. It was fine to offend a young lady who was not valued. But behind me were my cousin and the old lady...

The more Jiang An thought about it, the more agitated he became, and he couldn't help but follow.

Maybe God was helping him. Seeing that the young lady was going further and further away, it was a good time to take action!

Jiang An waved his hand to gather the guards together and whispered a few words to them.

Everyone wanted to finish their mission and go home as soon as possible, so they did not object to this action. So some prepared sacks, some took ropes, and some blocked the alley.

"Hey! Jiang An?! You guys are so brave!!"

Jiang Wan's two guards stepped forward and tied her up with ropes. Jiang An was well prepared, with a drug in his arms, and he covered Jiang Wan's mouth and nose with a handkerchief, causing her to pass out.

A tiny person was stuffed into a sack, not moving at all, and I thought it was some cargo.

Anyway, people on the street didn't seem to be suspicious.

Once the carriage was ready and the maid was brought in, the group excitedly bought some dry food and prepared to return to Kyoto.

I thought the mission was going to be completed smoothly, but I was stopped when I was leaving the city gate.

"Everyone in the carriage, get out and check!"

Jiang An frowned and felt something was wrong. Normally, when entering and leaving the city gate, it was not like this. You just paid and left.

Why do we need to check today?

And usually there are only a few people guarding the gate, but today there are dozens of them.

What happened in the city?

In order to avoid any trouble, Jiang An hurried forward to try to get close to the official. He first revealed his identity, then took out two taels of silver and stuffed it into the official's hand.

"Sir, our daughter is in this carriage. It is not convenient for her to show up in public. Can you please give her some convenience?"

The officer weighed the silver in his hand and stuffed it into his arms with a feeling of dissatisfaction.

"Brothers, come here. This man bribed me. There must be something wrong in the carriage!"

Jiang An's face turned green with anger when he heard this.

This bastard took the money and still dared to make a fuss!

Dozens of officials came over, and some of them even brought in barricades to block the city gate.

"Hurry up and get everyone out of the carriage!"

Seeing that the officers were about to draw their swords, Jiang An quickly grabbed the leader and stuffed a large piece of silver into him, and mentioned that he had a slight friendship with Lord Qin.

The man took the silver again.

"You said that you have a friendship with our Lord Qin? If everyone follows your example, I will let everyone go. Let the people in the carriage get off quickly. If you are not the person we are looking for, we will let you go."

Jiang An immediately understood who they were searching for.

Although he understood, he also knew that the person being searched was not the young lady. But the curtain could not be opened, as the young lady was still tied up. Once the curtain was opened, he would be in the public eye and would be unable to defend himself.

Jiang An was getting anxious when an official beside the carriage opened the curtain with his scabbard.

"Oh my god!"

"Look, look! There's someone tied up inside!"

Everyone at the city gate looked over, and Jiang An and his group were gritting their teeth in anger.

"No wonder you were hesitant and refused to let me get off the bus. It turns out you kidnapped someone. How dare you cause trouble in our county, you little bastard!"

The officers immediately rushed forward and tied up Jiang An and others.

Jiang An was quite powerful, but he did not put up any resistance.

After all, if they resisted with all their might, there would definitely be casualties, and they couldn't take the young lady with them. It would be better for them to follow the officials back to the county government office first.

He thought about going to the county government office to find Lord Qin to smooth things over. Then with Lord Qin's testimony, he could prove that it was all a misunderstanding.

With the handwritten letter from my master, and since Master Qin has already done things like relocating the household registration, it doesn't matter so I'll just give it a go.

Jiang An quickly calmed himself down and even gave his men a confident smile.
