Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 418 Discovery
"Is the box containing the night pearl still there?" Jiang Shaoyan asked Jiang Pingze.

Jiang Pingping nodded, and glanced at Fang Zhiyao at the side.

Fang Zhiyao understood, said "Ms. Jiang Si wait a moment" and got up and went out. Not long after, she came back from outside holding a box.

Jiang Shaoyan took the brocade-wrapped box and looked into the box. Seeing this, Jiang Pingping stretched out his hand to press down the four corners of the bottom of the empty box, then pulled out the bottom panel, pointed to the hidden compartment below, and said: " Inside is where the snow lotus leaves were originally placed."

"What does the snow lotus leaf inside look like?" Jiang Shaoyan asked Jiang Pingping, "May I have a look?"

Jiang Pingping was taken aback when he heard this, and before Fang Zhiyao said "no more..." He interrupted Fang Zhiyao, and Fang Zhiyao said: "Miss Fang, don't worry, Miss Jiang Si is not trying to steal medicine, she just wanted to imitate snow lotus leaves."

"Some people in this world are so gifted that they can imitate them just by looking at them." Jiang Pingping said, with a flash of nostalgia in his eyes, "I have seen such a person."

This girl really has a lot of similarities to her elder brother. What the elder brother can do, he thinks she may not be unable to do it.

"There are actually two snow lotus plants, one is hidden in the imperial treasury, and the other is in this box." Jiang Pingping explained to Jiang Shaoyan, "We want to steal the snow lotus leaves and choose to steal this box Ye Mingzhu just doesn't want to disturb them."

Fang Zhiyao seemed surprised when she heard Jiang Pingping speak so frankly. She looked at the complex expression on Jiang Pingping's face for a moment, and after a pause, she got up and said, "Ms. Jiang Si wait a moment."

After Fang Zhiyao left to get the snow lotus leaves, Jiang Pingping said to Jiang Shaoyan, "Miss Fang didn't mean to deceive you, the snow lotus leaves are very important to us."

When the girl heard the words, she frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised her eyes and asked Jiang Pingping: "Mr. Jiang, is Miss Fang..." The girl paused for a moment, and the words flashed in front of her eyes before she asked for snow lotus When Ye Yi watched, Fang Zhiyao instinctively flashed panic and vigilance in his eyes, and said, "Are you a little bit pleased with the person who stole Ye Mingzhu?"

Fang Zhixiu would be pleased with Zhou Fang, but Fang Zhiyao would not be pleased with the person who broke into the imperial city and stole Ye Mingzhu.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a hero can go straight to the imperial city and retreat from the body. It is not surprising that beauties love heroes since ancient times!

"It's not all lies that she imitated Lu Buwei, but I always feel that it's not all," the girl rubbed her chin as she spoke, and said to Jiang Pingping, who was stunned, "I just said it casually, Mr. Jiang doesn't have to take it seriously."

Jiang Pingping glanced at her: "..."

This girl's casual talk...how can people not take it seriously?Is it like some people say that men understand men best, women also understand women best?
It took him so many years to discover Miss Fang's mind, but she discovered it after only being in contact with her for a while.

"Ms. Fang didn't have any consideration for his protection. It seemed to be out of her body's instinct. I don't believe that she has no intentions for that hero." Jiang Shaoyan explained casually, and then asked Jiang Pingze, "The hero Do you like Miss Fang?"

Do heroes like Miss Fang?Jiang Pingping shook his head with a wry smile, with a sad expression: "The hero has a girl he likes. He went out to fight and thought that he would go back and marry the girl he liked after the battle, but after the defeat, the girl was forced to marry by his family. For a rich man with a cruel temperament, the girl had a strong temperament and committed suicide on the way to her marriage."

This is the girl who was held on the tip of the heart when the young love first opened, and she suddenly fell into the best years, so how could the hero forget it?
"That girl is like a ray of moonlight shrouded in his heart, he can't forget it, and naturally he won't accept Miss Fang." Jiang Pingping sighed and said quietly.

In the past 20 years, he has had a lot of emotions about these things, and for some reason, he feels a little uncomfortable with the girl in front of him.

"Actually, I think that if the girl with a strong temperament is alive, that girl may make him let go." Jiang Pingping said, "I don't think that girl has a relationship with the hero, and the girl the hero likes is not what the girl really looks like. But most couples in the world respect each other as guests. If they didn't have that incident, they would live in harmony if they got married. Miss Fang has never met a hero, and there is no such thing as today."

"Whether it's the hero, the strong-tempered girl, or Miss Fang, they are not wrong. If the girl is alive, she will definitely deal with this matter and untie the knot." Jiang Ping said quietly, "It's too late, She couldn't speak anymore, and now this knot has become a dead knot."

Jiang Shaoyan was thoughtful upon hearing the words.

Fang Zhiyao left and returned within a few moments, and came back with snow lotus leaves.

Jiang Shaoyan picked up the snow lotus leaf and looked at it carefully. While looking at it, she chatted with Fang Zhiyao and Jiang Pingping from time to time.

"What is Miss Jiang Si going to do with this box of snow lotus leaves?" Fang Zhiyao asked.

Jiang Shaoyan said: "Do you two know Cui Duo, the governor of Henan Province?"

Suddenly mentioning a name that has never been mentioned before... Fang Zhiyao couldn't help being taken aback, but Jiang Pingping only felt that the name "Cui Duo" was familiar, but he couldn't think of this person no matter what he thought for a while.

Seeing this, Jiang Shaoyan reminded him: "He had a good relationship with the Zhao family brothers back then, but everyone didn't call him by his first name, but called him by his baby name Huwaer..."

Tiger baby?Jiang Pingping's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, and he said in surprise, "Could it be Cui Hu'er who used to come to the army to compete in martial arts?"

Jiang Shaoyan gave a "hmm", glanced at Jiang Pingze, and nodded in affirmation: "That's him."

At the beginning of the uprising, Cui Duo went to Henan Province with his father to serve as Jiedushi. This time, he was still the Jiedushi of Henan Province after the dynasty changed for more than 20 years.

"He has a very good relationship with the Zhao family brothers. He went to Henan Province at the beginning of the uprising. Although Henan Province also had an uprising, it did not cause any major disturbances. There was not much movement in the troubled times, and it may have something to do with the whole incident. He has a very small personality, and I heard that he once went to Qinghe to pay homage to the little general's tomb, which shows that he has not forgotten the old relationship." Jiang Shaoyan paused for a while, looking at the movements of Xuelianye in his hand, and then said, "He is from Henan. Dao Jiedu Envoy, before I left Beijing, Gyeonggi Province and Henan Province were drought-stricken, and I heard that the secret orders of Henan Provincial Jiedu Envoy can reach His Majesty directly."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Pingping faintly understood: "Miss Jiang Si, could it be that you want to..."

"Find someone who is not surprised but stable and reliable. Take this box of night pearls with double stalks of snow lotus leaves and rush to Henan Road. Lin Yan and Ji Chongyan will be one step ahead and handed over to Cui Duo. By the way, don't forget In order for that person to say that he was entrusted by Zhou Fang."

As for why it was entrusted by Zhou Fang...

"If Zhou Fang wants to survive, he can only take the initiative to jump out. It just so happens that we also need such a person to do this, and take the initiative to contact the black hands behind the scenes." Jiang Shaoyan said.

This means...Could it be that Zhou Fang is playing the role of the person who rebelled in order to survive?

Jiang Pingping and Fang Zhiyao suddenly understood what the girl meant.

"Cui Duo has nothing to do with what happened back then. If you were Cui Duo, and you received this box of Ye Mingzhu, and knew that this box was entrusted by a felon who killed Yancheng County Magistrate Chen Wanyan and put him in prison, what would you do?" Jiang Shaoyan Ask him two.

Jiang Pingping and Fang Zhiyao looked at each other, and before they could speak, they listened to the girl talking on her own.

"A person who assassinated the county magistrate is related to the Ye Mingzhu case. Although Cui Duo has nothing to do with these matters, as a courtier, he must choose to send such a box directly to His Majesty."

"Your Majesty received the box and found Bingdi Snow Lotus Leaf. If he had nothing to do with what happened back then, he would have guessed that someone was seriously injured. He would have a clear conscience and would search for it with great fanfare. He would also tell Lin Yan and Ji Chongyan that they would retrieve it. The luminous pearls that the two of them found were fake; but if you feel ashamed, it’s easy, just hide the box, recognize the luminous pearls that the two of them found, and expose the matter. After a period of time, there was no one who shared the snow lotus leaves There is no doubt that they will die, and then use Zhou Fang, a treacherous person, to track down the whereabouts of the remaining people."

This plan is obviously much easier than Jiang Pingze's plan, and not so many people will die.As a murderer, Zhou Fang can still save his life because of this, but how to keep him from being suspected requires more planning.

"This plan sounds good," Fang Zhiyao glanced at Jiang Pingping after hearing the words, but asked the girl back, "But how can you ensure that His Majesty can find the snow lotus leaves in the box?"

She had already understood what the girl in front of her meant, and used two boxes of Ye Mingzhu to test His Majesty, to see which side he recognized the Ye Mingzhu from.

But this box of Ye Mingzhu has been in the treasury for more than 20 years and no one has discovered the hidden compartment at the bottom of the box, so how can it be guaranteed that His Majesty can find this snow lotus leaf?
"It's simple, just write a sentence in the box that only the brothers of the Zhao family can understand, this... the maid next to Miss Jiang once told me..."

"No!" Fang Zhiyao immediately interrupted the girl before she finished speaking.

This reaction... Jiang Shaoyan raised her eyebrows.

Faced with the girl's expression, Fang Zhiyao, who realized that he was too excited, quickly explained, "I can't write it. If I write it, Your Majesty will think that General Zhao is still alive..."

"You also said you thought so." The girl looked at Fang Zhiyao as she opened her mouth, glanced subconsciously, and shook her head. Jiang Pingping, who hesitated to speak, said seriously, "Little General Zhao is no longer here. I know, knowing that I can use this to find out whether your majesty has something to do with this, and I am willing."

This... Fang Zhiyao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing the serious look of the girl in front of him, he couldn't find anything to refute for a while.

Her eyes fell on Fang Zhiyao and Jiang Pingping's face and she paused for a moment, the girl paused, lowered her eyes, and said, "Is there any point in not letting His Majesty know that General Zhao is alive?"

"Even if there is no General Zhao, if His Majesty is really involved in this matter, he will use all his powers to get rid of you. It doesn't matter if he is there or not. You are just objects to get rid of in His Majesty's eyes."

"Even if he is protected by you and survives, what can he do if you are gone? No matter how powerful a general is, he can't do anything without soldiers and horses."

"How long can you hide?" The girl said and shook her head, "If General Zhao knows about what you've done, would he be willing?"

After saying all this, the girl poured herself a cup of tea and sipped it lightly.

Jiang Ping sighed quietly with downcast eyes, but Fang Zhiyao didn't say much.

Jiang Shaoyan drank the tea, got up, and said to the two of them: "Think about it again, I'm a little hungry, I want to eat first."

At this time, he was still thinking about eating... Jiang Pingping wanted to smile back at her, but he just twitched the corners of his mouth. Seeing the girl's raised eyebrows, he knew that his smile was uglier than crying.

Pushing the door out of the house, she closed the door smoothly, and stood on the steps in front of the house. The girl looked up at the sky, sighed faintly, but her eyebrows and eyes couldn't help but curled up, as if she suddenly found something pleasing The secret is general.

……

Naturally, the cook of Fang's family had no problem with cooking. Xiangli, who had been driving all day, ate a table full of dishes. Jiang Shaoyan walked in when more than half of the dishes on the table were eaten.

Xiangli, who still had some soup on her face, couldn't help being surprised when she saw this, she quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand and stared at Xiao Wu, who ate no less than her: "Why didn't you tell me that Miss hasn't eaten yet? "

Xiao Wu curled her lips, there was no outsider here, so she told the truth in her heart: "I didn't know Mr. Jiang and Miss Fang would not keep Miss for dinner."

"They are discussing things, and they are not in the mood to eat." Jiang Shaoyan smiled, but took the bowls and chopsticks for herself, walked to the table and sat down, saying, "I am in the mood to eat, and the mood is not bad."

She was indeed in a good mood. There was a visible smile between the young lady's brows and eyes, as if a big worry that had been pressing on her heart disappeared all of a sudden.

The lady was in a good mood, and Xiangli wiped her mouth: her appetite is even better, they can eat all the food on this table!

After eating a full meal, Xiangli hugged her belly and burped while chatting with Jiang Shaoyan incessantly.

"Miss Xiangli has been liking her even more since she came to Baoling. Not only does she like the lady after she came to Baoling, she also likes Baoling City and the people in the city. I really like everyone!"

Jiang Shaoyan smiled when she heard the words, and looked at Xiangli, who was full of food and drinks, sitting on the side of the corridor to digest, and asked her: "Then do you like Chang'an? We will always go back."

Chang'an!I also like it.Xiangli couldn't help nodding: "I've been by Miss Chang'an's side since I can remember, and Chang'an City also likes it, but if I want to go back to Chang'an, I'm really reluctant to part with Master Jingci and the others that Baoling City knows!"

After all, it is friendship with the meal cooked by the young lady, how can it be compared with ordinary people?
But how could the young lady ask such a question suddenly, could it be...

Xiangli was overjoyed and said happily: "Miss, can we go back to the capital?"

Jiang Shaoyan smiled when she heard the words, and was about to speak, but heard a voice behind her.

"Miss Jiang Si!" It was Jiang Pingze who spoke.

Then Miss Fang's voice sounded: "If it's as you said, then what will Fourth Miss Jiang do next?"

It's not easy to say, let alone do it.They naturally need a complete plan.
