Chapter 1340: It’s Lin Yuelan!
Translator: Lonelytree
The detector might not be worth much in modern times, but in this era where metals were precious, it was priceless.
That was because that thing could detect where there was a mountain of gold and silver…
However, without a certain amount of professional knowledge, it was impossible to use the probe.
He didn’t know if the advisor behind the Second Prince of Black Clouds, Xiao Jingrui, had any ability to study the use of that thing.
“When did Xiao Jingrui come to the Imperial City?”Lin Yuelan was slightly puzzled.
Jiang Zhennan shook his head and said,” I’m afraid Xiao Jingrui came to our
Longyan Capital in secret in disguise.”
Lin Yuelan was still a little confused.” When did Jiang Yunfeng hook up with the Second Prince of the Black Clouds Kingdom?”
Jiang Zhennan was silent.
He had been looking forward to his father, Jiang Yunfeng, from the beginning to disappointment, then to despair. After that, he returned to hope, disappointment, resentment, and anger. Finally, he returned to calmness.
He had always thought that the Zhengguo Duke was a greedy, cowardly, selfish, and cowardly person. But today, he finally knew.
This father of his was not a greedy and cowardly person. He was simply an extremely daring master who could even commit treason.
Lin Yuelan gently held Jiang Zhennan’s hand and said,” Brother Nan, the crime of treason seems to be the execution of nine generations, right?”
Jiang Zhennan softly made a “yes” sound.
He was also one of the nine generations.
However, in the past, he did not care about life or death because he was alone and had no worries.
But now, he couldn’t. He didn’t want to die.
That was because…
Jiang Zhennan turned his head and looked at Lin Yuelan with a gentle gaze. Coincidentally, he met Lin Yuelan’s concerned gaze.
His heart softened, and he said to himself,” Yes, I still have a lover. Even for this lover, I am not willing to die with Jiang Yunfeng.”
“Brother Nan, are you alright?” Lin Yuelan asked with concern when she saw that there was something wrong with his expression.
No matter how bad Jiang Yunfeng was, there was one fact that could not be changed. That was, he was Jiang Zhennan’s biological father.
Even if Jiang Zhennan treated his father as a stranger and an enemy, in the eyes of outsiders, he, Jiang Yunfeng, was the father of the Great General who ruled the country.
Therefore, if Jiang Yunfeng really committed the crime of treason, Jiang Zhennan would inevitably be implicated.
Therefore, what they had to do was kill all the relevant personnel, especially Jiang Yunfeng and the Second Prince of the Black Clouds Kingdom, Xiao Jingrui.
Why not use all of Jiang Zhennan’s merits and achievements to atone for his involvement before Jiang Yunfeng’s actions were exposed?
To Lin Yuelan, these two matters were both simple and difficult.
Especially the murder of Xiao Jingrui of the Black Clouds Kingdom. If it wasn’t planned well, it might cause the world to be in turmoil and the people to be plunged into misery.
Although Lin Yuelan wasn’t a saint, she wasn’t a demon who would disregard the lives of innocent people.
As for using achievements to exchange for a life, as a person in power, since ancient times, emperors were ruthless, and their hearts were unpredictable.
Anyone involved in treason and rebellion would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go.
Now, it seemed that Yuwen Longyan trusted them very much. However, once Jiang Yunfengs treason was exposed, it would cause the civil and military officials of the imperial court to impeach him and add insult to injury. It was very likely that one or two of them would force ” groundless ” charges on Jiang Zhennan.
No matter how much trust she had, at that moment, she might also be suspected.
Who could guarantee that Jiang Zhennan knew nothing about what his father, Jiang Yunfeng, had done?
Therefore, once the seed of suspicion was planted, it was very likely that no matter how much credit Jiang Zhennan had, he would not be able to atone for Jiang Yunfengs crime.
Jiang Zhennan also thought of this. He was not afraid, but he did not want to implicate Lin Yuelan.
His voice trembled as he said, “Yue ‘er, he… How dare he?”
It was fine if he did not report the gold and iron ores in his hands, but he actually sold them to the Black Clouds Kingdom.
Did he not know that this was treason?
How could he be this man’s son?
Betraying his first wife, killing his first wife, and secretly attacking his legitimate son. It was fine if he was so cold and heartless, but why did he have to betray the country?
Lin Yuelan gently held his hand and said,” Brother Nan, don’t be sad. He is him, and you are you! I believe in the old emperor. He knows what he’s doing.”
She knew that Jiang Zhennan was very loyal to Yuwen Longyan, so he could not accept Jiang Yunfengs betrayal.
But the human heart was unpredictable!
Jiang Zhennan nodded and said,” Yue ‘er, I know. But… But I just feel a little uncomfortable! ”
Lin Yuelan looked at Jiang Zhennan’s appearance and sighed. She didn’t say anything. Then, she turned around and hugged Jiang Zhennan tightly, comforting him.
Then, she said,” Brother Nan, since we already know who he is working with, then since it belongs to Mother, we must take it back!”
Jiang Zhennan held Lin Yuelan tightly in his arms and nodded.” Yes, we must take back what belongs to our mother!”
