After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

Chapter 23 I Had a Dream
"The defeat of the Antongguan campaign was indeed caused by a traitor, but so far, there is no definite evidence that it was Jiang Bonian who did it. What's more, Jiang Bonian has died without evidence. Therefore, I can imprison Jiang Changgong for three days, but I cannot imprison him for three days." Months." Jiang Yan's face was a little gloomy, "After all, he is the imperial general of Dingguo, and he has a certain prestige in the army. What's more, there are still many subordinates of the late old general in the army, so, If it continues, it will chill the hearts of some soldiers, so if that’s the case, it’s better to let it go.”

"Who agrees?" Youli pointed to the sky.

"That person wants victory, he wants the traitor, and he wants peace and prosperity for the country. As for the means? That doesn't matter." Jiang Yan put his clothes in order.

"Things in the imperial court are complicated. I am just a person in the world, and now I am still the love child raised by Mr. Jiang. I have nothing but beauty and cannot understand the complicated situation." Youli waved his hand artificially.

Jiang Yan rolled his eyes: "Go away."

"Heartless man." Yuli said and walked away carrying the medicine box.

Jiang Yan then turned around and went up to the second floor. As soon as he sat down, Li Wu knelt on the ground with one knee: "Sir."

"How about it?"

"My subordinates were hoarding food and medicinal materials according to your Lord's instructions, and found that someone was also hoarding."

"Who is that person?"

"The man's name is Zhang Jian, he is... Mrs. Jiang's dowry."

"What?" Jiang Yan stood up immediately, "Are you sure?"

"Yes." Li Wu nodded, "On the morning when the Yulin Guards besieged the General's Mansion, Zhang Jian left the General's Mansion and bought a three-in yard near the North City Gate. Now he has purchased three batches of grain. .”

If it weren't for the fact that he was also purchasing grain, he wouldn't have noticed that there wasn't much leftover grain in the city.

"Haha." Jiang Yan smiled, this was a bit interesting, "Send people to continue to keep an eye on Zhang Jian."

"Then do you want to..."

Jiang Yan shook his head: "You can help him if necessary."

Li Wu agreed, then turned and left.

Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, then went downstairs, and then went to Ruyuan.

Xiuhe Xiuju, who was guarding outside, was about to salute but was stopped, so she stood quietly aside.

Jiang Yan walked into the room and saw a woman lying on the beauty's couch with her eyes closed and dozing off. However, she was obviously worried about the environment, so her brows were tightly knitted. He immediately went over and sat down next to him, and just stretched out his hand. The beauty suddenly opened her eyes and sat up suddenly. But when she saw the person clearly, she quickly stood up and knelt down to salute.

"I've seen adults."

Jiang Yan frowned: "Get up and talk." Then he sat down on the chair next to him.

Ning Ruyan stood up after thanking her and stood quietly with her head lowered.

"Is Zhang Jian yours?"

Ning Ruyan raised her eyes suddenly, her eyes and mouth wide open in shock.

This expression seemed to please Jiang Yan, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.

Ning Ruyan quickly returned to normal after losing her composure, suppressed the turmoil in her heart, and answered respectfully: "Yes." It seemed that her plan had been discovered, and she probably could only save money and avoid disaster.

"Is there anything you want to tell my commander?"

Ning Ruyan swallowed: "What do you want to know, sir?"

"Food, medicinal materials, Ning Ruyan, you are really brave."

Ning Ruyan knelt down again: "Sir, my wife's dowry included a grain store, so isn't it normal to purchase grain?" "It's normal, but what's not normal is why she bought other grain shops in the capital. Where's the food?" Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Ning Ruyan, don't treat this commander as a fool, but I can give you time to think of an excuse, preferably... something reasonable."

Ning Ruyan was silent.

Jiang Yan didn't urge him, but picked up the teacup on the table and played with it.

"My lord." Ning Ruyan took a deep breath, "My wife is willing to tell the truth, but will your lord believe it?"

"Tell me."

"My wife...had a dream."

Jiang Yan frowned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "What dream?"

"On the day when the news of Jiang Bonian's death came, I fainted. While in coma, I saw some things in the future, but when I woke up, I didn't remember it clearly. There was only one thing that I remembered deeply, and that was This winter, there will be snow disasters around the capital."

Jiang Yan suddenly stood up: "Even if there is a snowstorm in the future, the imperial court has granaries and even the Ministry of Household Affairs..."

"I don't know, I only know that the snowstorm is coming, the court has no food to store, and the people freeze to death and starve to death, and there are even cases of people exchanging children for food..." Ning Ruyan raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Yan, "I am not a big shot, but I only have a little money in my hands, so I want to collect more food now. If what happened in the dream really happens, then this food can at least alleviate the plight of some people. If It would be best if it doesn't happen, the grain can be put in the grain shop and continue to be sold, but I swear that I will never raise the price."

"Haha." Jiang Yan smiled, "You really surprised me..." He stood up and walked over, extending his hand to Ning Ruyan.

Ning Ruyan frowned, not knowing how to react for a moment.

"Do you need me to bend down and pick you up?"

"Don't dare." Ning Ruyan hurriedly climbed up on her own, completely ignoring the other person's hand.

"Want to leave the General's Mansion?"

"What?" Ning Ruyan felt that her brain couldn't keep up with the other person's thoughts.

"Jiang Bonian is dead, are you planning to stay in the General's Mansion forever?" Jiang Yan put his hands behind his back.

Ning Ruyan was silent for a moment. She definitely couldn't stay for the rest of her life, but now was not the time: "My husband is newly deceased, so I haven't thought about it that much for the time being."

"Think about it and tell me."

What does Ning Ruyan want to tell you?But he didn't dare, so he could only nod randomly.

"I'm tired." Jiang Yan stretched out his hand, "Help me lie down, the wound seems to have opened again." Seeing that the other party didn't move, he could only continue to suffer, "You don't want Bai Zhi's efforts to be in vain, right?"

Ning Ruyan could only reach out and help the person lie down on the bed. Just as she was about to leave, the other party grabbed her wrist.

"Sleep with me. Don't worry. In my situation, I'm powerless. Besides, I've slept with you before. Once I wake up, I'll wake up twice."

Ning Ruyan:......

After glancing at the held wrist, he could only compromise and lie down on the bed, then close his eyes.

There was a low laugh in her ears, but she didn't dare to move.

General's Mansion, Shoukangyuan.

"Madam General, someone from the Yulin Guards has come to deliver a message. Please pay the ransom and go to Nanyuan to collect someone." A servant with the porter hurried in and conveyed the words of the Yulin Guards.

"What?" Huo stood up suddenly upon hearing this, "Are you telling the truth?"
