The Blame

After hearing what Jiang Changning said, King Jin was stunned. What is this called?

No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to find anything, and you won't be able to find it without any effort?

"My lord, what's wrong? Did I scare you?" Jiang Changning blinked. When did Prince Jin become so timid?

"With a good wife at home, everything will be worry-free." King Jin hugged Jiang Changning, "Ning Ning, can you let that boy lead the way?"

"Of course, I'll ask Xiao Chun to find someone with you." Jiang Changning did not hesitate. He called Xiao Chun in and told her to follow King Jin's order.

"I'll go to the front to make arrangements and I'll be back in a minute."

"Okay." Jiang Changning sent him out.

He turned around and picked up his son who was crawling on the kang, and kissed his tender little face hard, "Son, mom helped your dad solve a big problem."

Although King Jin didn't say anything, Jiang Changning also saw his anxiety.

Now that we know that there is something wrong with the crossbow, we can understand why King Jin was upset.

King Jin did not return soon as he said. After he arranged for people to go to a remote house near the city wall in the west city to arrest the person, he has been waiting for news in Jingshe Hall.

An hour later, Xiao Chun and Cao Jiang came back. King Jin asked Xiao Chun to go back to Rujingyuan first, "How did things go?"

Cao Jiang looked a little weird and said: "Your Majesty, those five craftsmen said they were making crossbows there under your orders."

A big black pot fell from the sky and hit King Jin on the head.

The King of Jin was extremely angry and laughed back, "My king's orders are good, good, good, good, good, and good. I want to see who can use this clever plan to kill two birds with one stone."

"A batch of crossbow machines, crossbow arms and bow strings were confiscated in that yard. According to the craftsmen, by installing the accessories, they can be assembled into a crossbow."

"It seems that it is true that the production process of crossbows has been improved." King Jin squinted his eyes slightly, thoughtfully.

This matter could be kept secret so tightly that he, the minister, had not heard anything about it. It seemed that the Ministry of War had not cleaned up enough, and someone actually dared to do it openly and secretly.

"Your Majesty, we found a secret passage in that courtyard that leads to a big house. I have sent someone to find out who the owner of that house is."

"Do they know where the families of those craftsmen are?"

"I have asked Beizhong. They don't know that their family members are missing. Beizhong has asked people to look for them."

"Do your best and obey fate." King Jin didn't think he had such good luck.

However, his princess Wangfu may be able to help him.

When King Jin returned to Rujingyuan, Jiang Changning was still awake, sitting on the kang and playing origami.

"This paper basket is very exquisitely made." King Jin said with a smile.

"The prince is back, how are things going?" Jiang Changning asked with a smile.

"It's okay. I have something, and I would like to ask the princess for help." King Jin said directly without making any detours.

"What's up?"

The King of Jin briefly told Jiang Nan about the crossbow he found in the black market, and also told him about the investigation, and then said: "I don't believe they don't know where their family is. They should know that their family has become a hostage.

, for the safety of my family, I insisted that I let them hide in that yard to make crossbows."

Jiang Changning agreed with his speculation, "The people behind the scenes are very cunning."

"No matter how cunning a fox is, he can't defeat a good hunter." King Jin grabbed his hand in vain, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty wants Xiao Chun and the others to find the craftsman's family, right? Yes, but it's not easy to find. Your Majesty, don't have too much hope." Jiang Changning didn't want Xiao Chun and the others to have to work hard and be punished.

Prince Jin pinched her cheek and said, "In your opinion, I am such an unreasonable person?"

"Your Majesty is the most reasonable, that's all I'll say." Jiang Changning threw herself into his arms and coaxed him.

The couple hesitated for a while, and then King Jin asked: "Can't you use the manpower over Jiang Nan?"

He discovered that Jiang Nan's men were on different paths from Xiao Chun's group.

"Okay, but when I don't need to touch them, Xiaochun and the others, I mainly use them to inquire about the market and approve prices. I am the housekeeper and I must manage it clearly. I must not let anyone fool me."

"What does this have to do with your housekeeper?" King Jin was puzzled.

"The eggs sold in the market cost nine cents per ten cents, but some purchases were reported to the owner for one cent per egg."

"This" King Jin was a little confused, "this account is too false."

Jiang Changning looked at him sideways and continued: "Fifty taels of silver for an old hen."

The King of Jin knew that purchasing was a lucrative job, but he did not expect that the profits would be so rich. "If you do this for a few years, you can make a fortune."

"One coin for one egg is too outrageous. I'm allowed to buy eight eggs for ten cents." Jiang Changning said calmly.

"Too generous." King Jin raised his hand to straighten her hairpin.

"The water is extremely clear and there are no fish." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

Jiang Changning managed the house very well, and Prince Jin didn't need her to change. He took her hand and said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed and rest."

"Don't make trouble with me, I have something to do tomorrow." Jiang Changning said quickly.

"The princess is so cruel." King Jin said aggrievedly.

Jiang Changning pushed away his approaching face and said, "Tomorrow, Concubine Mother and Concubine De will go to the temple to offer incense. I have to go with them."

"What happened? Why did you think of going to the temple to offer incense?" King Jin knew that neither the concubine nor Jiang Changning were devout believers and liked to improvise.

Jiang Changning clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the Bodhisattva's power is boundless. My mother and concubine are going to seek marriage for my cousin."

King Jin's mouth twitched slightly, "Bodhisattva is really busy."

"Able people should do more work."

Jiang Changning persisted this time, and King Jin regretfully could only hug his wife and sleep under the quilt.

The next day, Jiang Changning and Yan Yinyao accompanied the concubine out to Xiangguo Temple.

Offering incense was an excuse, but the reality was that Yan Yinyao was asked to come and see him.

Princess De is the matchmaker, and she is talking about her natal brother-in-law's nephew.

The man is twenty-seven years old, five years older than Yan Yinyao. He is widowed and has a six-year-old legitimate son and a four-year-old concubine.

The concubine felt that her family background was good, but Jiang Changning felt that it was not good. She had a legitimate son and a concubine, which made it difficult for her stepmother.

When Jiang Changning knew that the concubine wanted to see Yan Yinyao, he solemnly expressed his attitude to Yan Yinyao, "Cousin, it affects your life. You have to think carefully. If you don't like it, don't marry.

You must not wrong yourself just because your mother and concubine initiated the meeting."

Yan Yinyao smiled, "Cousin, I won't let myself be wronged."

"You have to be willing to marry. If you can't, then don't marry. You can stay in Prince Jin's Mansion as long as you want." Jiang Changning promised.

"Cousin, thank you." Yan Yinyao said sincerely.

It was Jiang Changning's credit that her mother and daughter could live so comfortably in the palace.

Prince Jin's Mansion and Prince De's Mansion are not far away, just on the same street, but to see each other, they have to go to Xiangguo Temple outside the city. They go far away from the nearby just to cover up the matter of seeing each other. I don't know what to say.

I found an old Chinese medicine doctor to treat my toothache. He burned the honeycomb into ashes and asked me to hold it in my mouth. This afternoon and evening, my tooth didn’t hurt. He said that after three treatments, the roots could be removed, and I would go back tomorrow.
