Chapter 245: Who Drew the Drawings?
Jiang Wanxiu also received the news, and when she heard Xi Ling say that there were no casualties, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, this time the Prime Minister's Mansion has suffered, the dam collapsed, but Master Cheng didn't report it, I heard that the emperor appointed the four princes to Quzhou to investigate thoroughly, Miss, will our Jiang Mansion be implicated, I heard that the drawings are the old man's ........"
Hearing this, Jiang Wanxiu thought for a while and said, "You go to the Four Princes' Mansion to deliver a letter, and say that I will wait for him in the Huihe Teahouse." ”
"Great!"
Immediately afterwards, Nan Liye soon came, he received the holy decree, and he was going to Quzhou today.
Jiang Wanxiu didn't delay his time, and said directly: "Fourth prince, this trip to Quzhou, in addition to inspecting those dams that have been built, you'd better take a look at that drawing." ”
Hearing this, Nan Liye frowned, "Is there a problem with that drawing?" ”
If he remembers correctly, the drawings seem to have been drawn by Jiang Wanwen, and they were checked by many people at that time, and the construction will only start when they are sure that there is no problem.
In the next second, Jiang Wanxiu handed him an envelope, "The time is urgent, I will write all the specific questions in it, and the fourth prince will naturally understand when he sees the drawing." ”
Nan Liye took it, nodded, and didn't ask more, only said: "I'm going to leave for Quzhou today, my mother's side, and I want you to take care of it more." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Wanxiu smiled faintly, "Concubine Wan is more cautious than you imagined, so the fourth prince can rest assured." ”
Nan Rongran wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start, and he was a little speechless for a while.
"Any questions?"
Nan Rongran shook his head, "Then I'll go first." ”
Nan Rongran's back left in a hurry, and Jiang Wanxiu sat by the window and watched him beat his horse and leave.
A burst of elegant and calm footsteps approached this side, and the jade bone fan gently tapped twice on the table, Jiang Wanxiu looked back, and saw Jinxu smiling at her with a spring heart.
Jiang Wanxiu's hand holding the teacup was a meal, her brows furrowed, and she said in an indifferent tone: "Why are you here?" ”
Jin Xuan raised his hand and lifted the begonia-colored robe, sat down opposite her, blinked his peach blossom eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "The sect master seems to be surprised?" ”
Jiang Wanxiu couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Jinxu, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to pretend anymore." ”
Jin's thin lips curled slightly, and then pretended to be stupid, "What does the sect master mean by this?" Doesn't the Sect Master want to see me? ”
"Yes." Jiang Wanxiu said unceremoniously: "Since you know that I don't want to see you, please stay away from me." ”
"How can that be?" The sparkling in the starry eyes was flowing, and Jin Xu's smile was very seductive, "The sect master prepared such a big gift for me before leaving, wouldn't it be too rude if I didn't return the salute." ”
"You chased it to Kyoto, just for that?" Jiang Wanxiu squinted at him, she believed that he was a ghost.
She just retaliated with a tooth for a tooth, and Jinxu was full of food to chase to the capital for this.
Jiang Wanxiu guessed that maybe he was coming for Nan Rongran.
"By the way, I heard that the man that the sect master likes is the prince of the world......
Hearing this, the temperature in Jiang Wanxiu's eyes gradually faded, and her voice became a little colder.
"Jinxu, I warn you, if you dare to touch him, I will kill you."
Jin Xuan smiled lowly, "What is the sect master doing so nervously?" I'm just saying it casually......"
Jiang Wanxiu glanced at him coldly, took Xiling and left.
Jinxu stared at her back, and poured a cup of tea lazily, "Jiang Wanxiu, the coming day is long, let's play slowly......"
"Miss, why did he come to Kyoto?"
Hearing this, Jiang Wanxiu frowned and said in a deep voice; "Jinxu and Nan Rongran have cooperated privately, I guess he is probably looking for Nan Rongran."
Xi Ling said worriedly: "Will Jinxu tell the identity of the young lady to the third prince?" ”
Shaking her head, Jiang Wanxiu twisted her eyebrows and said, "I don't know, let him be, anyway, Nan Rongran can't do anything with me." ”
From beginning to end, she and Nan Rongran did not declare war head-on, but from now on, Nan Rongran has jumped into the pits she dug one by one.
And that's just the first one.
The dam collapse was very serious, and Cheng Huai'an deliberately concealed it, which further aggravated the anger of the old emperor.
Nan Liye was ordered to go to the southwest, and according to the tips in Jiang Wanxiu's letter, the problem was quickly identified.
It turned out that there were problems with the construction drawings of the dam, and there was more than one place.
Nan Liye's work efficiency was very fast, and in less than half a month, he escorted Cheng Huaian and several officials under him back to Beijing.
The Prime Minister's Mansion also received the news, and immediately panicked, Cheng Haoran hurriedly went to find the third prince to find a way, but the third prince refused to see Cheng Haoran because he was sick.
Cheng Haoran could only keep wandering at the gate of the mansion, sweating profusely in a hurry, but he was unwilling to go back like this.
In the study, Nan Rongran sat in front of the bookcase, looking at the letters from the people below, and was silent for a long time.
Jinxu sat at the tea table, casually fiddling with the tea leaves.
"It seems that the problem encountered by the third prince this time is not small." Jinxu entered Beijing this time for Nanrong.
He had also heard about what happened to Rusheng, but since it had been given to Nan Rongran, he had no interest in interfering again.
Hearing this, Nan Rongran rubbed his eyebrows, "I always feel that things are not as simple as I imagined. ”
The smile on the corner of Jinxu's lips was a little meaningful, "The problem is with that drawing and Cheng Huai'an, in fact, what does it have to do with the third prince?" ”
Hearing this, Nan Rongran paused slightly.
"I heard that the drawing was presented to you by Jiang Chao, the servant of the ministry?"
Nan Rongran looked at Jin Xu, who hooked his lips and smiled, "The third prince should know the truth of self-preservation. He bet on Nan Rongran, not to watch him lose.
Immediately, Nan Rongran sent someone to Jiang's mansion and brought Jiang Wanwen over.
Jiang Wanwen was sitting in the room at this time, nervous, and heard the report from the next person that the third prince had been invited, so she panicked even more, and almost fell off when she didn't pay attention when she got into the carriage.
The door of the study was opened, Jiang Wanwen walked in, and when she saw the Jinxu made at the table, her eyes suddenly lit up, who is this man? How in the Three Princes' Room?
But she didn't think much about it, Jiang Wanwen, who came back to her senses, hurriedly greeted Nan Rongran and said, "The courtiers invite the third prince to be safe." ”
In the next second, Nan Rongran stretched out his hand and pulled her closer, and said in a cold tone, "Jiang Wanwen, let me ask you one last time, did you draw that drawing?" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Wanwen's heart tightened, and the sweat in her palms was already half wet, but she still replied: "Yes....... It's a courtier. ”
"Don't tell the truth yet, you have to think about it, this drawing was given to me by your father, you are not afraid of angering the emperor, and the Jiang family will not be able to turn over at all."
"It's just the lightest." Nan Rongran sighed lightly and said: "If the emperor investigates deeply, he can't even escape the Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone your Jiang family, when the Jiang family is full of houses, they will be demoted to commoners, and they will be exiled to northern Xinjiang." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Wanxiu's body shook slightly, and she almost fainted.
Immediately afterwards, Nan Rongran continued: "Oh yes, maybe even I can't avoid the guilt, after all, that drawing is what I dedicated to the emperor." ”
"No, you can't!" Jiang Wanwen was trembling all over, "I can't be exiled, I can't ......"
She hasn't got ahead yet, she's still only a concubine of Jiang Mansion, she is unwilling, Jiang Mansion can't have an accident.
That drawing, yes, that drawing was not drawn by her at all, why did she carry this pot?
"It's Jiang Wanxiu!" Jiang Wanwen blurted out: "That drawing was drawn by Jiang Wanxiu, and it has nothing to do with me!" ”
Hearing this, Nan Rongran's eyes narrowed slightly, "Jiang Wanxiu......"
Jiang Wanwen nodded heavily, "Yes!" At the beginning, I was obsessed with the blueprints stolen from Jiang Wanxiu, my father didn't know, the third prince, let's go to the emperor and tell him that it's Jiang Wanxiu's fault! ”
Nan Rongran didn't expect that the picture was painted by Jiang Wanxiu.
He thought that maybe Jiang Wanwen got it from someone else, but he didn't expect it to be Jiang Wanxiu.
But......
"Do you think the emperor will believe it?"
When the words fell, Nan Rongran had a little mockery in his eyes, "At the beginning, you swore that you dragged your father to transfer the drawings to me, and I handed them over to the emperor, and the emperor named you the county lord because of this, and now something has happened, you go and tell the emperor, in fact, this drawing was not drawn by you at all, Jiang Wanwen, you want to find death, don't pull me, the crime of bullying the king is enough for you to die a hundred times." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Wanwen was like being struck by lightning, and her whole person was confused, as if she had lost three souls.
And the ridicule and indifference on Nan Rongran's face made her heart extremely cold.
"So, do you understand?"
Now no one cares whether this drawing is really drawn by Jiang Wanwen, everyone believes that the picture was drawn by her.
The dam was built by Cheng Huai'an, and the disaster money was privately swallowed by Cheng Huai'an's subordinates, to put it bluntly, this matter has become a foregone conclusion.
Cheng Huai'an has set this pot, and Jiang Wanwen can't escape.
Jiang Wanwen also vaguely understood what Nan Rongran meant, and she was still in the ice cellar.
"Third Prince......" she sat on her knees with a trembling voice.
"What to do, I think you know what to do."
"No, Third Prince, you can't do this to me...... My father is loyal to you. ”
"Wrong." Nan Rongran smiled softly, "It's your father who is loyal to me, that's why you have to stand up, if this matter implicates me, don't talk about you at that time, even the Jiang Mansion will be defeated, Jiang Wanwen, you won't be so ignorant, right?" ”
Jin Xuan leaned on the door, looked at Jiang Wanwen's dejected back, and said, "The same father, why is there such a big difference?" ”
Think about Jiang Wanxiu quietly cheating him several times, but Jiang Wanxiu's sister can only be reduced to a scapegoat for carrying the blame.
Nan Rongran looked back at him, a little puzzled by what he meant.
In the next second, Jin Xuan stepped forward and asked, "Fang Cai, that woman said that the construction map of the dam was drawn by Jiang Wanxiu?" ”
Hearing this, Nan Rongran frowned and looked at him suspiciously, "Do you know Jiang Wanxiu?" ”
What is more than awareness? The enmity between them is about to rise to the point of life and death.
Immediately afterwards, Jin said with a smile: "I've heard it, Miss Yan of the Jiang Mansion." ”
Hearing this, Nan Rongran didn't doubt it, but said: "I doubt now that this will be the pit that Jiang Wanxiu dug for Jiang Wanwen from the beginning." ”
If the drawings were drawn by Jiang Wanxiu, is it possible that she deliberately left a few places in order to set Jiang Wanwen up?
If this is the case, then Jiang Wanxiu is really a wolf that he ignores.
Jin's eyes flashed slightly, not to mention, this seemed like something that a woman could do.
