"Did dad ask you to come? Does the emperor know about this? Does the court know? You have a heavy army in your hands and you can't leave the capital every time. If someone finds out, I'm afraid they will join you."

Jiang Bowu coughed, and he swallowed the hot sweet potato until his throat turned red.

Jiang Bowu blushed, "I was ordered to come here to support. The border gate found the traces of the fourth prince and his party. They suspected that there was going to be a war, so they reported the matter to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War guessed that their trip was for Jiangling County, so I was ordered to come to assist you, and it was also to guard the border to prevent the fourth prince and his party from attacking."

Originally, other people were sent here, but Jiang Bowu was worried about the safety of the children and brothers, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to take over the matter.

The people in the court didn't react too much, and the job fell on his head, so he came here aboveboard.

Jiang Bowu felt that the roasted sweet potato tasted good, so he broke off the tenderest piece from the inside and handed it to Mianmian.

Mianmian took a small bite and got burned, but she couldn't bear to spit it out, instead she kept nodding her head, "It's delicious, it's delicious."

Jiang Bowu simply stopped eating and left a whole sweet potato to Mianmian.

Hongkui carefully prepared a spoon for her, and Mianmian just added it up in small bites, eating with relish, and sharing something good, "Second cousin and third cousin, you also eat."

Jiang Xuanlin and Jiang Muyan took a sip just now, but they didn't like the taste very much, so they shook their heads and refused.

"You two brats! It's good to have a stutter, but you're still picky. If you don't eat it, I will. Mianmian will give Uncle Wu a bite."

Jiang Youquan opened his mouth and was slapped by Jiang Jixun, "How old are you, and you still compete with Mianmian for food, there is not enough food in the first place."

Mianmian smiled and squinted her eyes, dug a piece of red and tender sweet potato into Uncle Fifth's mouth, thought for a while, and gave another piece to Uncle Fourth and Uncle Six, and looked aside to see that Uncle No. Eat, so each person took a big bite.

By the end there was only half of the sweet potato left.

"Mianmian is still filial. If you have good things, you will not forget your uncles, and you will not waste your uncles loving you."

Mianmian, who was feeling distressed, puffed up her chest in an instant.

Xue Qianhu walked over with a sad face, "Marquis Wu, we have checked everything, and all the jewels in the jewel boxes have turned into stones, and the jewels may have fallen into the hands of the fourth prince."

In the end, he was still snatched away. If he had known earlier, he should not have let the fourth prince go, and should have kept him.

Jiang Zhongyan glanced at the guilty Mianmian, and said with a smile: "Xue Qianhu has worked hard, you don't have to worry about the jewelry, it didn't fall into the hands of the fourth prince."

Xue Qianhu's eyes lit up, "Could it be that Jiang Xunyan made preparations in advance?"

If so it would be great.

Jiang Zhongyan glanced at Mianmian, but did not deny it.

At this time, Jiang Jixun also realized that something was wrong, and before he could speak, Jiang Zhongyan had already sent Xiaoxiazi and Hongkui to take Jiang Xuanlin and Jiang Muyan down to rest, and the group of people were sent far away.

Mianmian is the only child among several adults.

Mianmian was a little nervous, "Second Uncle, I'm going to rest too."

Jiang Zhongyan grabbed her, "Where is the jewelry?"

The others looked shocked.

Jiang Youquan was puzzled and said: "Second Brother, are you confused? How does she know the relationship between jewelry and Mianmian?"

But Mianmian said, "I know."

Jiang Youquan: "..."

The corner of Jiang Zhongyan's mouth raised slightly, "Did you replace the jewelry? Why did you do that?"

Mianmian glanced at Second Uncle quietly, and found that he was not that angry, so she boldly said:
"Because you want to do good deeds, these jewels are ill-gotten gains and should be used for good deeds. If they are given to the court, they cannot be used on the common people. That's why I replaced them all with stones."

"I want Uncle Three and Uncle Five to help me exchange them for food, clothes and medicinal materials and distribute them to the poor people."

Mian Mian's voice became smaller and smaller, "I didn't intend to steal anything, I know that most of the jewels will be sent to the emperor when they are shipped back, and those officials in the court will also secretly take them, and I'm afraid it won't be enough to use them on the people in the end. One-tenth, why don't I secretly exchange it for food and distribute it to them."

The Jiang family brothers were shocked and speechless for a while, Jiang Zhongyan touched her cheek, "I didn't expect our Mianmian to have such a benevolent heart, it's good for you to think so, but if you do this, it will hurt you Fourth Uncle and Jin Yiwei, once the jewels are lost and the court pursues them, they will die."

Mian Mian was frightened, "Can I come back now? I don't want the fourth uncle and Jin Yiwei's uncle to die."

Then he became entangled again, "But if I return it, the jewelry will still fall into the wrong hands in the end, can I not return it? Second uncle, you are so smart, can you think of a way to make them not blame the four On the heads of uncle and Jin Yiwei?"

This can be difficult.

Jiang Bowu couldn't understand the stealing and stealing behaviors of officials, "Second brother, you just think of a way, Mian Mian is also a good intention, how many people will loot this jewel after it is taken back?"

Jiang Zhongyan laughed suddenly, "At first I had no choice, but now that we have this account book in our hands, it is different, and many people are involved in it."

Jiang Jixun frowned and said in a low voice, "The one who fears the most is not the corrupt officials, but the one in the palace."

Speaking of the emperor, Jiang Zhongyan became even more disappointed, "I know it well, I won't let him take advantage of it."

Even if he was willing, Si Chenye would not agree.

After all, for these jewels, the Jiang family suffered a lot of losses, and Mian Mian was also in danger several times.

Mian Mian's eyes lit up, "I see, we can go to Youzhou to sell this batch of jewels first, and exchange them for food, cloth, cotton, and medicinal materials, and then transport them back to the capital. They can't snatch all of these things Bar?"

The eyes of the Jiang family brothers suddenly lit up, this idea was even better than what Jiang Zhongyan thought.

Jiang Bowu touched his nose and said, "Second brother, the weapons and equipment of the garrisons in many places should also be changed."

Jiang Zhongyan became vigilant, "Brother, why did you tell me this? It's nothing more than buying food, cloth, and cotton. It's not up to me to change the military equipment, and I can't tell when I return to the capital."

Jiang Bowu looked at him and felt that he must have a solution.

Jiang Zhongyan choked for a moment, and changed the topic, "However, the garrison is the lifeblood of the imperial court. The weapons and equipment should not be bad for the time being. It is time to change them, but the Ministry of War should tell the Ministry of Households."
