Chapter 148 Prepare to start the robbery
"Did your father ask you to come? Does the emperor know about this? Does the court know? You have heavy troops in your hands and cannot leave the capital every time. If someone knows about it, I am afraid you will be able to write to your book."
Jiang Bowu coughed, and he swallowed the hot sweet potatoes whole, making his throat red.
Jiang Bowu blushed, "I was ordered to come to support you. I found the traces of the four princes and their group at the border. I suspected that they were going to fight, so I reported this to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War speculated that they were coming to Jiangling County, so I was ordered to come to assist you, in order to guard the border to prevent the four princes and their group from attacking."
Originally, someone else was sent over, but Jiang Bowu was worried about the safety of the children and brothers, so he took the initiative to ask for the matter.
The people in the court did not react much, and the errand fell on him, so he came here openly.
Jiang Bowu thought the roasted sweet potato tasted pretty good, so he broke the tenderest piece from it and handed it to Mianmian.
Mianmian tasted it in small mouthfuls and was scalded, but she couldn't bear to spit it out, but instead nodded, "It's delicious, delicious."
Jiang Bowu simply stopped eating it and left a whole sweet potato to Mianmian.
Hongkui carefully prepared a spoon for her, and Mianmeng added in small bites, eating with relish. She had to share the good things, "You can eat it too, second cousin, third cousin."
Jiang Xuanlin and Jiang Muyan had just tasted it, 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 they're even picky. If you don't eat it, I'll give Mianmian a bite to my fifth uncle."
Jiang Youquan opened his mouth and was slapped by Jiang Jixun, "You are so old and you are still fighting with Mianmian for food. There is not enough food."
Mianmian smiled and narrowed her eyes, dug a piece of red and tender sweet potato into the mouth of her fifth uncle. After thinking about it, she gave her another piece to her fourth and sixth uncles. She looked at her side and had not eaten her before, so she shared a large mouthful of her.
In the end, only half of the sweet potatoes remained.
"It's still Mianmian's filial piety. If you have good things, don't forget your uncles, and it's not in vain that your uncles love you."
Mianmian, who was feeling a little distressed, instantly raised her chest.
Xue Qianhu walked over with a sad face, "Wuhou, we have checked all the jewelry in all the boxes containing the jewelry have turned into stones, and the jewelry may have fallen into the hands of the Fourth Prince."
In the end, he was still stolen. If he had known, he would not have let the fourth prince go, and he should have been left behind.
Jiang Zhongyan glanced at Mianmian, who was guilty, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work in Xue Qianhu. You don't have to worry about jewelry, it has not fallen into the hands of the Fourth Prince."
Xue Qianhu's eyes lit up, "Is it because the Jiang Xunzhang made preparations in advance?"
If so, it would be great.
Jiang Zhongyan glanced at Mianmian and did not deny it.
At this time, Jiang Jixun also discovered something was wrong. Before he could speak, Jiang Zhongyan had already asked Xiao Xiazi and Hongkui to take Jiang Xuanlin and Jiang Muyan to rest, and the crowd were sent to a very far place.
Among the adults, there is only one child in Mianmian.
Mianmian was a little nervous, "I'm going to rest too, my second uncle."
Jiang Zhongyan grabbed her, "Where are the jewelry?"
The others looked shocked.
Jiang Youquan said in confusion: "Second brother, are you confused? How could she know what the relationship between jewelry and cotton cotton?"
But Mianmian said, "I know."
Jiang Youquan: “…”
Jiang Zhongyan's mouth raised slightly, "Did you replace the jewelry? Why did you do this?"
Mianmian quietly glanced at her second uncle and found that he was not that angry, so she boldly said:
"Because you want to do good deeds, these jewelry are ill-gotten treasures and should be used to do good deeds. If you give them to the court, you will not be able to use them on the people, so I will replace them all with stones."
"I want my third and fifth uncles to help me exchange them for food, clothing and medicinal materials to those poor people."
Mianmian's voice became less and less. "I didn't mean to steal things. I knew that when I was transported back, a large part of the jewelry was given to the emperor, and the officials of the court would also secretly take it. In the end, they were afraid that it would be less than one-tenth of the people. It would be better for me to secretly exchange it for food and send it to them."
The Jiang brothers were shocked and couldn't speak for a moment. Jiang Zhongyan touched her cheek, "I didn't expect that our Mianmian would have such a kind heart. It's good that you think so, but doing so will affect your fourth uncle and Jinyiwei. Once the jewelry is lost, the court will pursue it and they will die."
Mianmian was frightened, "Can I come back now? I don't want the fourth uncle and Jinyiwei's uncle to die."
Then he became entangled, "But if I return it, the jewelry will eventually fall into the hands of the bad guys. Can I not return it? Second uncle, you are so smart, can you find a way to prevent them from blaming the fourth uncle and the Jinyiwei?"
This can be difficult.
Jiang Bowu couldn't stand the acts of being an official, "Second, just think of a solution, Mianmian is also kind. I wonder how many people will rob the jewelry after it is taken back?"
Jiang Zhongyan suddenly laughed, "I had no choice but now we have this account book in our hands, and it involves a lot of people."
Jiang Jixun frowned and said in a low voice: "The one who is most afraid of is not the corrupt official, but the one in the palace."
When talking about the emperor, Jiang Zhongyan became more disappointed, "I know that I will not let him take advantage."
Even if he was willing, Si Chenye would not agree.
After all, the Jiang family suffered a lot of losses for these jewelry, and Mianmian was in danger several times.
Mianmian's eyes lit up, "I understand. We can go to Youzhou first to sell this batch of jewelry, exchange it for food, cloth, cotton, and medicinal materials, and then transport it back to the capital. They can't snatch all these things, right?"
The eyes of the brothers of the Jiang family suddenly lit up, and this idea was even better than what Jiang Zhongyan thought.
Jiang Bowu touched his nose and said, "Second, the weapons and equipment of many places should be replaced."
Jiang Zhongyan became alert, "What did you tell me about this? It's okay to buy food, cloth, and cotton. I can't decide on changing military equipment. I can't even explain it clearly when I return to the capital."
Jiang Bowu looked at him and felt that he had a solution.
