Chapter 433 Jiang Hai
Considering that Yan Kui was the bandit leader and knew best where the money was kept, they finally let him lead the way.
Yan Kui knew that robbing the Prince of Yan's ship was not much different from robbing the King of Hell.
He took the initiative to confess that there were five people left guarding the thieves' den, one of whom was his biological father.
He was willing to give all the property he had robbed over the years to Luo Xiaoran, only asking Luo Xiaoran to let go of his father who was over 60 years old, and at the same time give his men a chance to live.
Luo Xiaoran did not comment, and Yan Kui had no other bargaining chips to negotiate terms, so he could only lead the way obediently, begging Luo Xiaoran in his heart to do as he wished.
Wei Lin and Wei An, brother and sister, led a team of personal guards and took Yan Kui down to the boat and went ashore.
Luo Xiaoran poked Chen Ji's shoulder and said, "Your Highness, who do you think set up this drama? No matter who it was, their method was too crude!"
With just thirty or so bandits, you want to kill the famous God of War. Isn't this just a joke?
Several names emerged in Chen Ji's mind, but as Luo Xiaoran said, he didn't think those people would use such crude means.
This matter needs further investigation.
……
Kyoto, Jiang Mansion.
"Dad, I'm really relieved for you this time!"
Jiang Hai pushed away the old servant Jiang Sheng who was guarding the study door and shouted towards the closed door with a beaming face.
Jiang Bin, who was reading a storybook in the study, trembled his beard slightly. He folded the pages of the storybook skillfully and stuffed it into the drawer.
"Come in and talk."
Jiang Hai glared at Jiang Sheng who had just stopped him, then pushed the door open with his chin raised and walked quickly to the desk.
Unlike the thin Jiang Bin, Jiang Hai is a little bloated, with a round face and looks very wealthy.
"Father, I told a group of bandits about the treasure on the King of Yan's ship. Even if I can't harm their lives, I can still make the King of Yan unhappy!"
"The most important thing is, Luo Xiaoran, that lowly peasant girl, has never seen bandits robbing before. She must have been so scared that she ran away in panic! Hahahaha!"
Upon hearing that Jiang Bin was ridiculed by Luo Xiaoran in front of all the ministers at the Lidong Palace Banquet, Jiang Hai was so angry that he beat the concubine who was serving him to death and smashed the furniture in the room. Only then did he calm down a little.
Later, when he learned that Luo Xiaoran was going to Chuzhou by boat, Jiang Hai arranged a ship robbery, thinking of killing as many followers on the ship as possible to disgust King Yan and scare Luo Xiaoran.
Jiang Bin quietly looked at Jiang Hai who was laughing non-stop.
His big mouth can open so wide that a woman's fist can fit in it.
The double chin is stacked at the neck, like a woman wearing a necklace.
"Dad, do you think what your son did was wrong?"
After laughing for a while, Jiang Hai finally realized that his father did not laugh with him and his expression was very calm, so he stopped laughing immediately.
There was a hint of helplessness in Jiang Bin's eyes. It was all because when Jiang Hai was born, he was too young and still retained some modern thinking habits and wanted to adopt the happy education approach.
There is no such thing as starting education at the age of three, strict teacher guidance, early rising and late sleep, and hard work. There is only respect for children's nature.
As a result, they raised a fool like this, whose emotions are all shown on his face, without any cunning at all, and is often used as a pawn by others.
"Xiao Hai, when Dad attacked Luo Xiaoran at the palace banquet, he was just speaking for the King of Qi. He was not really angry with the King of Yan and Luo Xiaoran."
"After all, if Luo Xiaoran becomes the Princess of Yan, it will not only prevent the Yan Wang's wife's family from gaining more support, but also alienate the major families in Kyoto from him. What can Dad object to?"
The Lin and Jiang families had always been at odds with the King of Yan, so they had always been allies, at least when it came to dealing with the King of Yan.
There have been rumors that the Yun family's eldest daughter might marry the Prince of Yan, strengthening the relationship. Now that Luo Xiaoran has taken the position of the principal wife, even though Yun Tianying is the Prince of Yan's biological uncle, he probably won't let his daughter be a concubine.
As for the Huo family...
Although the Huo family, like the Yun family, regards the Lin family as their mortal enemy, if Huo Xilan is married to Prince Yan, the three forces of Prince Yan, Yun family, and Huo family can be connected. However, given Huo Qingyun's sister-con nature, he would definitely not want Huo Xilan to be inferior to a peasant girl.
From then on, the Prince of Yan was alone and powerless in Kyoto!
"The son understands what his father said!"
"But Luo Xiaoran made you lose face at the palace banquet, so I want revenge and will not let her have an easy life!"
After saying that, Jiang Hai changed the subject, his tone tinged with resentment:
"King Qi is really something. As a prince, if you have anything to say, just say it yourself."
"Every time you charge in the front, he hides behind like a turtle, and you block the wind and frost for him!"
"Shut up!"
When Jiang Bin heard Jiang Hai's slander against King Qi, his face suddenly darkened.
"The King of Qi is your cousin, and he has long been inseparable from our Jiang family. You must not spread such words that may cause dissension!"
Jiang Hai pursed his lips and wanted to argue a few more words, but when he saw that Jiang Bin was really angry, he reluctantly responded with a "yes".
"If you have nothing else to do, go down! Dad still needs to study."
"Dad, please study slowly. I won't bother you any more."
After Jiang Hai left, Jiang Sheng called out "Master" outside the door.
"Come in." Jiang Bin paused with his hand on the drawer.
"Master, another maid was carried out from the young master's courtyard last night, and Madam helped to deal with it as usual."
Jiang Bin opened the drawer, took out the storybook and placed it on the table, then turned to the page he had just folded.
"Understood, let's go down."
Jiang Sheng bowed and retreated. The moment the door closed, he heard Jiang Bin sigh:
"A loving mother often loses her son!"
……
The official ship did not drop anchor and wait on the shore, but simply slowed down its speed to give Wei Lin and his party some buffer time to catch up with them.
In the evening of the second day, Wei Lin and Wei An returned triumphantly with the five people left behind by Yan Kuizui and more than twenty boxes filled to the brim.
Wei An knew that Luo Xiaoran wanted to use the money to do business, so when he arrived, he had already carefully counted it on the boat, compiled it into a book, and handed it to Luo Xiaoran.
"It's a considerable amount of property. When the ship's reserves are exhausted and we have to stop at the port for supplies, I will immediately bring people ashore to exchange them for silver notes so that the princess can carry them easily."
"Wow~~Wei An, why are you so considerate? I like you so much!!!"
The "suddenly rich" Luo Xiaoran pinched Wei An's little face excitedly and couldn't stop smiling.
"Cough cough!"
Chen Ji, who rushed over after hearing the news, witnessed the whole process of Luo Xiaoran's "confession" to Wei An. He immediately interrupted the two of them with a fake cough and gave Wei An a look that told him to "go away".
However, Wei An did not move.
She is really capable. She actually dared to ignore the gaze of His Highness, Wei An, who almost lost his balance, thought to himself.
But His Highness said that she is now the princess's person, and even His Highness cannot give orders to her without the princess's permission.
She was right to do so! Wei An puffed out his chest.
But Wei An forgot that in addition to being Luo Xiaoran's personal guard, she was also Wei Lin's sister.
In the end~~ Wei Lin took advantage of Luo Xiaoran reading a booklet and dragged her away.
When Luo Xiaoran looked up from the booklet, Chen Ji was the only one beside her.
A black robe cannot hide his uniqueness.
"Now that everyone is here, what does Xiao Ran plan to do with them?"
