Chapter 615 - 615 After Returning
615 After Returning
When Wen Yujing’s son and daughter were forcibly sent back to the Marquis’ mansion from the general’s residence, she was flustered and uneasy.
“Mother, what should we do? that bastard actually came back, ” Jiang Wen said angrily and unwillingly. “As soon as he came back, not only did he lock up his most trusted Butler, but he also forced big brother and me to come back. Mother, that bastard is really too hateful!”
As soon as she heard Jiang Wen say that Jiang Tianping had been locked up by Jiang Zhennan, the uneasiness and fear in her heart grew even stronger. She kept comforting herself and said, ” calm down, calm down. I must calm down. I can’t panic!”
She was the one who had given Jiang Tianping the poison, so she couldn’t let Jiang Tianping rat her out.!!
The only way now was to kill him.
Without Jiang Tianping as a witness, even if Jiang Zhennan knew very well that she was the one who had given him the poison, he still couldn’t do anything to her.
But the problem now was, how could she quietly kill Jiang Tianping?
Jiang Zhennan had already returned to his residence, and those guards were not to be trifled with. Once someone broke into the general’s residence, they would definitely be discovered very quickly.
What should she do now?
Even if Wen Yujing had some schemes, at this moment, she couldn’t think of any good ideas.
“Mother, did you hear what I just said?” After talking and cursing for a long time, her mouth was dry, and she realized that her mother was completely distracted. Jiang Wen was immediately a little unhappy.
“Wen ‘Er, what did you say? ” Wen Yujing asked, confused.
Jiang Wen pouted and said unhappily, ” mother, I knew you weren’t listening to me. It’s fine if I say that bastard is arrogant, but the detestable thing is that those guards in that bastard’s mansion are all so arrogant. I’m so angry. Mother, you must find a way to teach those people a lesson.”
Wen Yujing’s eyes lit up.
That’s right, guards!
…
In a room in a hidden house in Beijing.
“Bang!”
It was obviously the sound of something breaking.
Immediately, a furious roar came from inside the house.
“Useless thing, you can’t even stop a person and let him return to the general’s estate without a sound!”
The person who was angry was a young man wearing a purple brocade robe. The anger on his face was gloomy and cold, making his originally handsome face look ferocious and twisted.
“Master, please calm your anger!”
The Man in Black knelt on the ground with his head lowered. He kowtowed to the young man in front of him and said, ” please calm down, master. It’s your subordinate who didn’t do his job well. Please punish me, master!”
The purple-robed young man’s face was gloomy and filled with anger as he looked at the black-robed man and said coldly, ” I’ve already told you that if this happens again, you can forget about being the leader. Now, Jiang Zhennan has returned to the general’s residence unscathed. Such a major mistake is not as simple as being dismissed as a leader!”
When the Man in Black heard this, his face suddenly turned pale. He kept kowtowing and apologizing, ” master, please spare my life.”
The lives he spoke of were not only his life alone but also the lives of his family, his wife, and his children.
Although they were men of sacrifice, they were also an assassin organization. Some of them would marry and have children. At the same time, they were the center of their master’s control.
The young man in purple sneered, ” Hmph! He immediately shouted, ” men, take him away!”
Immediately, two guards in black came in. Without a word, they pulled the leader and left to carry out their master’s orders.
The moment he was pulled away, the leader in black’s face revealed a look of despair, but he still kept shouting, ” master, please spare my life! I beg master to spare my family’s life!”
After the leader in black was taken away, a eunuch with a horsetail whisk walked in.
As soon as he entered, he bowed to the purple-clad young man and called out, ” Your Highness!”
The man in purple was quite polite to the eunuch. He nodded and asked, ” eunuch Zhang, Jiang Zhennan has returned to the general’s office unscathed!”
When eunuch Zhang heard this, his expression changed slightly. Then, he smiled and said, ” Third Prince, isn’t that good? ”
The third Prince raised his brows. Then his voice turned cold as he said sternly, ” eunuch Zhang, are you joking with me? Jiang Zhennan’s return is the biggest threat to my fight for the throne. What’s so good about that?”
Eunuch Zhang continued to smile and said, ” Third Prince, all the officials in the Imperial court know that Jiang Zhennan has always been neutral in the fight for the position of the Imperial grandson, except for his loyalty to the Emperor. In other words, His Majesty doted on Jiang Zhennan. Therefore, whoever could build a good relationship with Jiang Zhennan would have the possibility of obtaining his full support. Then, obtaining that position would be considered a success with an 80 to 90% chance of success. Third Prince, why not try to build a good relationship with Jiang Zhennan? It’s better to have a friend than an enemy!”
When the third Prince heard this, he lowered his brows and pondered for a moment. His brows furrowed, and he said, ” eunuch Zhang, what you said is also what I once thought. However, this Jiang Zhennan is a wooden block. No matter how I try to be nice to him, he is indifferent and even coldly looks at me as a joke. But my big brother, the Crown Prince, has some friendly relations with him, so I was anxious, that’s why I would kill him like this! If in the future, he finds out that I’ve tried to kill him, do you still think he can help me ascend the throne?”
Eunuch Zhang was still smiling as he said, ” Your Highness, you’re wrong! As the saying goes, it’s better to squash enmity than keep it alive! As long as the third Prince promised him certain benefits, I believe that in the future, even if Jiang Zhennan did not express his support for Your Highness, he would also not support the other princes and grandchildren. This would also increase the chances of Your Highness winning! So, third Prince, why don’t we bury the hatchet?”
The third Prince said doubtfully, ” previously when I tried to be friendly with Jiang Zhennan, it was to no avail. Even the beauties that I sent to him were all returned. I wonder what I am going to do this time. Please enlighten me, eunuch Zhang!”
Eunuch Zhang was still smiling as he said, ” Third Prince, sometimes, pleasing someone doesn’t necessarily mean pleasing the person himself!”
The third Prince was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted and asked, ” eunuch Zhang, do you mean to express goodwill to the people around Jiang Zhennan? ”
Eunuch Zhang only smiled and did not answer.
“but I still don’t understand. The people around Jiang Zhennan, other than the head butler, are his subordinates who have gone through life and death with him. However, Jiang Tianping was locked up on the first day Jiang Zhennan returned. Speaking of this, I am a little angry. Do you want me to befriend those servants and guards? ”
Eunuch Zhang shook his head and said, ” Third Prince, have you forgotten that one of them is the young master of the Guo family of the palace of the Earl? ”
The third Prince was taken aback again, but he quickly reacted and asked in surprise, ” you mean Guo Bing? ”
Eunuch Zhang smiled again but did not answer.
