Chapter 30
Seeing the large army at the foot of the mountain, Wang Bin knew he was doomed.
"General Wang." Zhu Liang's face turned pale with fright. Why were there so many troops? Could it be like Wang Bin expected, Shen Feng Ming had come to arrest them?
Wang Bin looked at him and suddenly swung his long sword, beheading him. If he hadn't been greedy for life and afraid of death last night, they still had a chance to fight. Toward this kind of people who run away and delay the battle, their hatred couldn’t be dispersed even if they were killed.
Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng led the people up the mountain road and happened to see this scene.
Yang Cheng squinted his eyes. Oh, he dared to kill someone in front of him.
Wang Bin turned to Shen Feng Ming and suddenly burst out laughing. He only regretted that he shouldn't have received that money and shouldn't have been bewitched by others. Success or failure, fame and fortune were empty at the turn of a head.
It was too late to regret it!
Yang Sheng signaled his hand. Going by the list, they arrested them all.
In an instant, dozens of Qilin Guards immediately started to arrest people. Within a short while, all around fell to their knees.
Wang Bin took it in. There really were a lot of them. Qilin Guards have quite a capability.
He was no longer disillusioned. He closed his eyes and sought for the kill.
Wang Bin, Zhu Liang and more than a dozen people participated in this incident. The rest, such as Deputy General Zhao and others, had no idea what happened. Why was the mine suddenly surrounded? Why were General Wang and the others arrested? .
What should they do?
They have no choice but to obediently wait to see how this matter will be dealt with in the end.
After Yang Sheng arrested the people, he immediately began to interrogate them. After a while, he had a thick stack of confessions in his hand. He took a quick skim of them. Taking these things back to the capital would inevitably lead to a bloodbath.
He looked at Shen Feng Ming. Was this really the case? Sixth Prince was now at the height of his power in the court. While Crown Prince, his health was getting worse and worse.
Shen Feng Ming's eyes already explained his attitude.
Yang Sheng sighed. He began to miss Jiang Yun Zhu, thinking about going back to Jiang's house for a while. Have a good meal and sleep. En, it would be even better if there was another good show to watch.
Thinking of a good show, he looked at Shen Feng Ming and the corners of his mouth raised. He couldn't wait any longer.
Just at this moment, a man came running from the mountain bottom. The man was obese. He ran all the way up, panting from exhaustion.
No one stopped him, because he was wearing the clothes of the emperor's servant. He was here to deliver an edict.
"Official Shen, the emperor's secret order." Fu An said while bowing.
"What secret order is this time?" Yang Sheng was surprised. The last secret edict had just been completed. Were there so many things going on in court recently?
"This servant doesn't know either." Fu An didn't dare to look into Shen Feng Ming or Yang Sheng's eyes. He just lowered his head and replied. Then he handed a letter to Shen Feng Ming.
Shen Feng Ming opened it and read it. He directed to Yang Sheng, "The Emperor asked us to return to the capital immediately."
"Return to the capital immediately? What matters is it so urgent? Also, this side’s matter..." The matter here had been resolved, but how did the emperor know?
Of course Emperor Qing Long didn't know. It was Sixth Prince. He knew that a general, Wang Bin wouldn’t be able to defeat Shen Feng Ming. So he made movements around the capital so that Emperor Qing Long would call Shen Feng Ming back.
Now it had reached the achieved result.
What he didn't know was that he was still one step too late.
Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Fu An also guessed that he was late and grumbled in his heart.
"Eunuch seems very disappointed!" Yang Sheng walked up to Fu An, walked around him, and said with a smile.
"Don't dare. I don’t dare not." Wiping the sweat off his brow, Fu An responded
"What's Eunuch’s name? It is the first time I've seen someone who was doing his best for the emperor. Look, he came all the way through day and night. So busy that was no time to change the dirty clothes. Don’t look energetic at all." Yang Sheng continued. .
But Fu An didn't dare to take a breath. He accepted Sixth Prince’s benefits and rushed to deliver the edict. Why did Qilin Guards kneow about it?
Thinking of Shen Feng Ming's fame, he almost peed his pants in fright. He wouldn't be cut by a sword, right?
He regretted it very much at this moment. He shouldn’t have accepted Sixth Prince's money.
"Eunuch, you haven't said your name yet?" Yang Sheng asked with a smile from the side. Fu An felt like it was a soul chasing sound.
His body trembled unceasingly, as if he was about to fall to the ground at any moment.
Seeing him like this, Yang Sheng felt a little more cold in his eyes. A person like him learning to accept bribes like others? Unfortunately, even if he got the life and wanted the money, he had to have the life to spend it.
Originally, such an insignificant person wasn't worthy of his anger. But an insignificant person can also affect people's fate. Moreover, who told him to bring the edict to get him and Shen Feng Ming go back to the capital. He hadn't stayed here enough. He didn't want to go back to the capital at all!
It was Fu An's bad luck.
"Get to the bottom." Shen Feng Ming judged Fu An's fate with only these four words.
Yang Sheng grinned. It seemed that he didn’t want to go back to the capital too. As soon as he waved his hand, the Qilin Guards immediately dragged Fu An down for interrogation.
Fu An was sent by the emperor to deliver the letter, but he was arrested. Out of the whole court, only Qilin Guards and Shen Feng Ming dared to do such a thing. Fu An didn't dare to utter a sound. He knew that the louder he shouted, the worse the ending would be.
This was just a small incident.
"What should we do now?" Yang Sheng asked Shen Feng Ming.
Shen Feng Ming looked at the letter in his hand, "It's finished here. Go back to the capital."
"Go back to the capital, then..." He wanted to ask what to do with Miss Jiang? In the end, he didn't ask.
At 1pm, Mrs. Chen stood in the courtyard, looking toward the mine with a worried face. She saw a lot of troops going to the mine before, so nothing will happen, right? Jiang Cheng was still in the mine.
"Mother, don't worry, it should be fine." Jiang Yun Zhu persuaded.
Mrs. Chen nodded before asking Jiang Yun Zhu, "Then let's start cooking the soup."
The next morning, they need to sell hulatang and should start cooking the bone soup now. The bone soup needs to be boiled for a long time to taste good.
Jiang Yun Zhu shook her head. She didn't know how the situation was tomorrow morning and said, "Mother, I have something to discuss with you."
"What?" Mrs. Chen asked.
"From tomorrow onwards, let's stop selling breakfast and sell lunch and dinner instead. As you have seen before, we can make more money selling lunch than breakfast. If we add dinner, we will definitely earn more.
Moreover, selling breakfast was really hard work. "Jiang Yun Zhu had planned this for a long time. But with a catastrophe looming, she never dared to go all out.
The weather was getting colder and colder. It was really hard work to sell breakfast and go to bed late and get up early.
Mrs. Chen had wanted to sell dinner for a long time, but Jiang Yun Zhu wouldn't budge. So she didn't dare to mention it. Now that she brought it up, of course she had no problem.
"It's a pity. That is good business." She was saying the business of selling Hulatang was profitable. She mentally remarked that if only she had three heads and six arms to do business in the morning, noon, and evening. This way, they can save enough donkey money quickly.
Of course, she knew she didn't have that ability. So she sighed.
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't feel anything. Selling breakfast was just a transition. Thinking about being able to sleep late every day from tomorrow, she felt how her life was suddenly better.
This matter was settled like this.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside. Mrs. Chen was startled. Who was it?
She went to open the door and saw Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng standing there.
"Have you returned from collecting the grains?" Mrs. Chen asked.
The corner of Yang Sheng's mouth twitched. He almost forgot about it.
"En." This time Shen Feng Ming was the first to answer. Then he looked at Jiang Yun Zhu.
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't expect that he and Yang Sheng would visit again. She was stunned for a moment before smiling at him. Internally, she pondered why he came this time.
Yang Cheng looked at Jiang Yun Zhu, then at Shen Feng Ming. He said to Mrs. Chen, "Auntie, which families are selling grain last time? Look at my memory, I forgot."
Then Mrs. Chen took him to find those who were selling grain.
Only Shen Feng Ming and Jiang Yun Zhu were left in the courtyard.
"I'm going back to the capital." Shen Feng Ming said.
"Have a smooth journey." Jiang Yun Zhu replied. Her tone seemed a little cheerful.
Shen Feng Ming: ...
When Yang Sheng came back, he saw the two of them standing like that. He was so frustrated that he touched his forehead. His kindness was in vain.
"Miss Jiang." He grinned and said to Jiang Yun Zhu, "We are going back to the capital. You’re really not considering going with us? You don't have to worry about your family. If Uncle and Auntie are willing, they can come to the capital with us.
We have some foundation in the capital and can help you gain a foothold in the capital." For fear of scaring Jiang Yun Zhu, he didn't dare to say his and Shen Feng Ming's identities, especially Shen Feng Ming's fame.
"Thank you. No need. Have a smooth journey." Jiang Yun Zhu said with a smile.
Yang Sheng: why do he sense a trace of disdain? Was it his mind playing with him?
Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng finally left.
On the official road, Yang Sheng looked back. A small courtyard amidst the green mountain. It was so peaceful and beautiful, "We’re going like this?" He asked Shen Feng Ming.
Shen Feng Ming looked forward, "If not?"
"Don't you have all kinds of means?" Yang Sheng hated that iron can't be made into steel. Where did all his means go?
Shen Feng Ming turned to look at him, "She is very happy here."
And unhappy in the capital? Yang Sheng felt Jiang Yun Zhu can live well wherever she goes?
Forget it. Let's go to the capital first. It wasn't like they won't be coming back. By the way, when he comes next time, he must ask her how she managed to make that goddess appear.
"Half for you." Yang Cheng gave Shen Feng Ming half of the things in his hand. It was the sausages made by Jiang Yun Zhu from the last rainy day. After so many days of drying, it was now ready to eat. When parting, she gave the two of them some gifts.
Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng led the people away. Wuling Mine seemed to have regained its calm as well as being slightly different from before.
Jiang Yun Zhu pushed open the gate, ready to go to town. Starting today, she will do a good job in her takeaway business and make it big!
Let's start by going to the town to order a batch of special lunch boxes.
Seeing the large army at the foot of the mountain, Wang Bin knew he was doomed.
"General Wang." Zhu Liang's face turned pale with fright. Why were there so many troops? Could it be like Wang Bin expected, Shen Feng Ming had come to arrest them?
Wang Bin looked at him and suddenly swung his long sword, beheading him. If he hadn't been greedy for life and afraid of death last night, they still had a chance to fight. Toward this kind of people who run away and delay the battle, their hatred couldn’t be dispersed even if they were killed.
