MTL - The Heroine Forced Me To Fall In Love with Money-Chapter 20
After running along that secret path for some time, Jiang Zhinan finally saw the exit.
The secret passage leads to the small bamboo forest in the city.
Jiang Zhinan crawled at the exit and observed it carefully for a while, and after seeing that there was no danger, he finally crawled out of the dark passage, staggering.
After all, it is a big family, and preparations have always been sufficient. In the secret passage, not only the clothes worn by the common people, but also a little silver.
Not much, but enough to barely survive.
Jiang Zhinan hid in the forest and changed his clothes. He found a place with water and grabbed a few handfuls of mud. He wiped it all on his face, pretending to be a beggar in distress.
"So... can you tell that I'm Jiang Yu'an?" After doing this, she asked the system softly.
"I can't see it." The system muttered, sounding a little worried, "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you."
"Yes." Jiang Zhinan nodded and replied, evoking a smile to thank the system.
That smile, Rao is that people who are not familiar with her can probably read a touch of reluctance and helplessness.
The system sighed softly.
It was still early, Jiang Zhinan didn't dare to move around, so he could only sit in the forest to spend time, waiting for the night to come.
During this period, she made a lot of assumptions, thinking about whether to escape elsewhere, which might be safer.
But she was afraid of what to do if Aning came back one day and couldn't find herself.
After thinking about it for a while, she finally decided to take the risk and stay.
The sun is not enough in winter, the temperature is still cold, and the wind blowing is very cold.
Jiang Zhinan shrunk himself into a ball, stomping his feet and breathing in his palms, looking very pitiful, as if he was a puppy abandoned by his owner.
The system looked really distressed, so it quickly lit a fire for her and told her to sit by the fire and bake, but don't freeze her body.
"I see." Jiang Zhinan nodded and said thank you very sincerely.
No matter what situation she is in, good or bad, it is all part of the mission, the system is destined to not be able to help her too much, everything depends on her own good fortune.
Jiang Zhinan understood from the bottom of his heart.
There is such a fire, and the sincere I will accompany you, it is enough.
Jiang Zhinan sighed lightly, looking at the beating flames a little dazed, thinking of Aning's face in a trance.
After so many years, I haven't seen a single letter from her.
What a little white-eyed wolf.
Jiang Zhinan thought of her, and suddenly felt a soft place in his heart as if being clenched by a big hand, and tears fell instantly.
I don't know what happened, since Aning left, she became more and more like to cry.
…
I don't know how long it took, the sky finally got dark.
I can't stay any longer, not to mention the cold, in the middle of the night, there might be some wild beasts in the forest.
Jiang Zhinan thought about this, finally stood up, moved his body roughly, and then started to walk towards the center of the city.
"Be careful." The system asked her.
She should have gone home by this time.
But she was afraid that Jiang Zhinan would have an accident by herself, so she planned to stay with her in recent days and not go back.
"Yeah." Jiang Zhinan nodded, and with the company of the system, he was not so lonely.
One person, one system walked back while talking, and finally returned to a familiar place.
It was different from the past, probably because of her escape. At this time, the guards in the city were extremely strict. Even though it was dark now, there were still many officers and soldiers patrolling around with knives.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhinan was wearing civilian clothes and wiped his face like a ghost, so that the officers and soldiers did not notice him.
Jiang Zhinan walked forward with his head down the whole time, dodging the crowd back and forth, and quietly came to the notice wall, wanting to see if there was any news about the Jiang family.
The house raid happened too suddenly, she fled in a hurry, not knowing what happened to Jiang Prefect and her two brothers.
The above said that Jiang Taishou was embezzled and took bribes, and there were thousands of taels of dirty silver hidden in his home.
At the same time, Jiang Taishou and his two sons and one daughter were sentenced to death, and the maids and servants in the family were either reduced to slaves or sent to join the army, and those who did not obey were directly executed on the spot.
It really is a broken ending.
Jiang Zhinan looked at the notice and couldn't tell what it was like for a while.
It also said that Jiang Taishou and the eldest son Jiang Yujin had been caught at this time, but the second son Jiang Chengxuan and the youngest daughter Jiang Yu'an escaped. If anyone provides clues, they will be rewarded. .
There are even two portraits attached at the bottom. Jiang Zhinan stared at them for a while, and saw that the portraits were ugly, but they accurately drew the characteristics of the two of them.
Sure enough, it's best to be careful.
Thinking like this, Jiang Zhinan turned around and started again, hoping to find a broken temple to rest temporarily.
At this time, she was still a little confused, and she didn't know if the corruption mentioned in the notice was true.
However, it is a fortune in misfortune, Jiang Chengxuan is safe now.
I don't know how much he knows about it. If the two of them can meet again one day, she must ask to understand.
There is a broken temple not far away, no one worships it for many years, and many beggars sleep inside.
Although Jiang Zhinan was frightened in his heart, he stepped forward and walked in, found a place to lie down on his side, closed his eyes and forced himself to feel sleepy.
This kind of place is naturally inferior to her comfortable big bed, but Jiang Zhinan is very tired now, but she fell asleep quickly.
I didn't even dream.
…
Aning sat on the sedan chair with a dark face, frowning tightly.
She just returned from the inspection tour in Huainan this morning, and she went to meet the emperor without taking a break.
Which other Jiang family could exist, of course, she was thinking of, the Jiang family where Jiang Zhinan was.
In order to consolidate her rights this month, she has been active in the Huainan area, and even dealt with a lot of heart problems for the emperor. She will definitely be rewarded when she comes back this time.
But I never thought that this reward was still in the future, but this thunderbolt came first.
Such a big thing, she just found out that, as a first-grade censor in the court, she was the one who only heard the wind at the end.
At that time, Aning's heart sank for a while, and he quickly asked someone to ask how the Jiang family is now.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhinan has not been caught yet.
Aning breathed a sigh of relief, and the anger that had suddenly surged gradually dissipated a little.
"Who is handling this matter?" Then she asked the minister such a question.
The man told her it was Sun Jin and Sun Shangshu.
"Got it." An Ning responded and returned to his original position calmly, as if he was just curious.
As for how much suffering and pain is hidden in her heart, only she knows.
After going down to court, Aning didn't even go back to his own residence, and went directly to see Sun Jin.
In order to consolidate her power and gain a firm foothold in the DPRK, she has always been comprehensive in interpersonal relationships. She has been around with Sun Jinduo before, so this time she went to visit him as soon as she came back Not surprisingly.
So before Aning arrived at his mansion, he saw this man standing respectfully to greet her.
"Sun Shangshu." As soon as Aning saw him, a smile appeared on his lips, and the anger just now disappeared, as if nothing had happened, "Don't be alright. ."
She has always been polite and polite, and the servants around her know her habit, and she has already presented the gift as soon as she finished speaking.
Sun Jin took the gift with his own hands, and smiled to look at her, his handsome face gradually softened a little.
Aning ordered the people to put down the sedan chair, and came to Sun Jin's side to chat with him while walking forward, without a trace of superiority.
harvest.
Aning answered all of them one by one, as if he really came to talk to him.
It was not until the two of them arrived at the Sun House, sat on the sandalwood chair, and held a cup of hot tea, that she finally brought out the purpose of her visit.
"I heard that Sun Shangshu was dealing with the matter of Jiang Taishou recently." She said, obviously talking about a very sad thing, but her eyes were still calm, "This matter How are you doing now?"
"I encountered some trouble." Sun Shangshu frowned when he heard this, and then sighed, "Although we have captured Jiang Prefect and his eldest son, but the second son Jiang Chengxuan and his youngest daughter Jiang Yu'an escaped by chance, and has yet to be found."
"I will do my best to help." She said so, a dark current flashed in her eyes.
"Thank you very much." Seeing her say this, Sun Jin hurriedly offered to her.
"No problem." Aning shook his head, "Being so polite among friends...that would be too detached."
The author has something to say:Aning is Ying Wanyan, hhhh, she was the fifth-rank official in the first place, and slowly climbed to the first-rank over the years. Control, so... she also worshipped the godmother qwq
