Chapter 356 Losing Power (3)

Jiang Quan grabbed Xia Yue: "You can hear it clearly. Only the private army of Xia's mansion has nothing to do with the Jiang family?"

Xia Yue felt even more contemptuous. At this time, Jiang Quan was still thinking about himself, for fear of being implicated in the Jiang Mansion, which was really selfish enough. But then he thought that the relationship between the Xia Mansion and the Jiang Mansion was originally maintained by marriage, and after Xia Yan died, he married himself. He was just for the sake of profit, so how could there be any family affection?

"There is no private army of the Jiang family, please rest assured, Master." Although she thought so, Xia Yue still smiled, but immediately frowned: "But Master, are you going to go into the palace to talk to the second young master now? This is not a trivial matter."

Jiang Quan sat in place, his expression changing in his eyes. If it were the past, he would have thought of a way to rescue Jiang Chao without saying a word. But now the Jiang family is not as good as before. Its reputation in the capital is already corrupt, and the emperor complained about the Jiang family. This time, Jiang Chao had such a huge mess. This fact is too great, and Jiang Chao could not escape unscathed. What is even more worrying is the emperor's attitude. If he enters the palace to plead with Jiang Chao at this moment, will the emperor think that the Jiang family is also involved in this matter. Originally, he only suspected that the Xia family had the intention of rebellion, and would have been implicated in the Jiang family at once. What should we do?

"No," after thinking for a long time, Jiang Quan made up his mind and said, "It's not a good time now. You can prepare a book for me and send it to Prince Jinying's Mansion. He said that Jiang Ruan would go back to the mansion as soon as possible. If something big happened to her second brother, she would also find a way to save her second brother's life."

Before Xia Yue came to Jiang Ruan's mansion, she had already heard about Jiang Ruan's deeds. She actually applauded her. Now that she heard Jiang Quan say this, she couldn't help but feel a little contempt in her heart. Why did Jiang Quan say so high-sounding? She didn't dare to come forward, but she taught her daughter to come forward. Jiang Ruan and Jiang Chao were not in harmony, and Jiang Quan knew very well. How could Jiang Ruan be willing to help Jiang Chao get rid of his crime? I don't know if Jiang Quan was so confused because he was too impatient now.

In the sky prison, the darkest cell, two cells were closely adjacent to one place, separated by a thick iron fence. The faint fire not only did not bring a trace of light to the already gloomy cell, but instead seemed even more strange.

On both sides of the iron fence, there were two people sitting against the wall. One was dejected and mournful, the other was in a cold eyes, and the other was so heavy that water dripped out of water.

Jiang Chao looked at Xia Jun, unable to hide his anxiety: "Cousin, what should we do now?"

"What else can I do?" Xia Jun sneered: "People are the slaughter, I am the fish."

Seeing Xia Jun's painless look, Jiang Chao felt even more anxious and said, "How did things turn out like this? Where did we go wrong? Hell, how could the city guards come here at this time?"

Xia Jun lowered his head and his eyes flashed. From last night, he had an ominous premonition in his heart. Now that he finally got the evidence, he felt that everything was going too smoothly, and it made people suspicious. Jiang Ruan did not stop it, which was really unreasonable. Now he finally understood where the inexplicable premonition came from, just because since he had planned to plot against Jiang Ruan three years ago, she had never lost as long as it was related to Jiang Ruan. She would not lose, so how could they win so easily? All this was just her plot.

"We've been trapped." After a while, Xia Jun said slowly: "This is a game that has been set against us from the beginning. The other party has always known what we are going to do, but he just pushed it. It's just time to close the net."

Jiang Chao looked at him in surprise, his mind becoming more and more confused: "Cousin, what do you mean?"

"The granary fire last night was inexplicably caused. It was clearly that someone deliberately set fire and led the charges to you and me. When the city guards led their troops, I clearly issued an order and did not allow private troops to fight impulsively, but someone took the initiative to draw his sword toward each other. Now, it was really suspicious. It was obvious that someone was mingling in it and deliberately disrupting the pool water."

The man mixed in the private army and provoked a conflict between the private army of the Xia Mansion and the soldiers led by the city garrison, and then he found a reputation for stolen soldiers from the Xia Mansion to injure people and commit rebellion. The charge of arson, coupled with the charge of committing the crime, was really a very evil crime, and it can be said that he was jealous of rebellion.

"But... how could they know our plan to replace food and grass?" Jiang Chao was surprised that there were still people behind the mantis stalking the cicada oriole, but there were only five people who knew about the plan for this matter, and the news leaked from where.

"It's very strange, right? I also think it's very strange. It doesn't seem like I've learned that we were going to set fire. Instead, I knew what we were going to do from the beginning, and even pushed it. Now, thinking about it, the opera Zhang Ji sang that day in the court was really too complete. I think at that time, we had already fallen into other people's traps and didn't know it." Xia Jun said.

Jiang Chao shook his head: "Cousin, what you said is really incredible. If what you said is true, who is that person? Who has such great ability?"

"Who?" A charming and gorgeous face appeared in front of Xia Jun's eyes, and the upward charming eyes were slightly bent, as if mocking their self-righteousness. Is it her? Although it was too incredible, Xia Jun had a sense that this matter must be inseparable from her. There are no people in the world who know about their plans, but why, how did she know their plans? It seemed as if she had figured out their minds. This was really terrible. She even asked Zhao Yi, who was on duty, to avoid the search last night. She caught them last night and was another old official who was the guard of the city. Da Jinchao was famously selfless. If it were Zhao Yi, perhaps the emperor would have suspected that it was because of the Zhao family and the Xia family that Zhao Yi did this, but if the old official had replaced it, he would have almost completely abandoned this possibility. Jiang Ruan even thought of this, and they had no chance to turn it around.

"Do you know where the most terrifying place is?" Xia Jun sneered and said, "We burned food and grass in the middle of the night, and if we accidentally got charged with treason. The food and grass were to alleviate the urgent needs of the border. Now all the fires are burned out. We cannot compensate. There is only one way now."

"What's the solution?" Jiang Chao asked hurriedly.

"Wait." Xia Jun said: "When the eighth prince finds a reason to exchange all the food and grass that he has replaced, and tells the emperor that we are burning food that has grown mold, not military pay, and this matter will be solved."

"That's good." Jiang Chao breathed a sigh of relief: "The Eighth Prince still needs to use you and me, and the Jiang family and the Xia family cannot lose it, so naturally they will not sit idly by."
