Chapter 126: Too much anticipation! Waiting for the opportunity to eliminate the bandits
"As for those other vassal kings' and the regent's troubles, I will help you remove them one by one!"
As he spoke, a hint of murderous intent flashed across Su Dingxia's fair face.
"Brother Su, have you really decided?"
Looking at Su Dingxia's face full of murderous intent, King Huai'an frowned and asked with some uneasiness.
"Well, I have never forgotten the kindness of the late emperor in raising me."
"So many years have passed, and I have been serving this fake emperor. It is time for me to do something for you, Your Majesty."
After saying that, Su Dingxia bowed to King Huai'an, turned around and walked out.
Looking at Su Dingxia's departing back, Prince Huai'an shook his head helplessly and walked out of the study.
Looking at the sky above his head, he sighed and said.
"Fourth brother, fourth brother, where are you?"
After Su Dingxia left the palace, he came to the post station.
Under the guidance of the station staff, I walked into the arranged room.
Su Dingxia glanced at a dark corner in the room.
"Did you hear what I just said to King Huai'an?"
As Su Dingxia finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly stood out from the dark corner.
"My Lord, I heard it."
"Since you've heard it, then do as we say!"
"First, we need to deal with the minions of the regent king. As for the minions of the other princes, we must not let them go either!"
"I obey your command."
After saying that, the black shadow merged back into the darkness and disappeared in front of Su Dingxia.
At the same time, on Jiang Chen's side.
Having just received five hundred taels of gold, he received another reward from the Regent.
"Haha, Lord Jiang, you didn't expect that this time I'm the one bringing people here."
Jiang Chen looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue whom he had not seen for a long time and replied with some surprise.
"Yes, I really didn't expect that the prince would actually send Lord Zhou."
"Okay, Brother Jiang, let's not be polite."
"I came here this time on the orders of the prince to reward you."
Zhou Xuan said this and waved to the people behind her.
A few people took the order and left. After a while, a few people came back in.
He was carrying several large boxes in his hands!
Looking at the struggling expressions on their faces, you can tell that the things in these boxes are definitely not ordinary things.
"These are some rare items that the prince asked me to bring to you as tribute from various places."
"Besides that, there are 1,000 taels of gold!"
"However, although the prince knows that Brother Jiang doesn't like silver notes, he still asked me to bring you a silver note worth 50,000 taels of silver."
After pointing at the boxes and explaining something to Jiang Chen, Zhou Xuan took out a thin stack of silver bills from her sleeve.
Then he handed it to Jiang Chen and bowed to him with a smile.
Looking at the banknote Zhou Xuan handed over, Jiang Chen swallowed.
There is no doubt that he was frightened by the Regent's big move.
Fifty thousand taels of silver, that's five thousand taels of gold!!
Adding the additional one thousand taels of gold, the reward given to him by the Regent this time was twelve times the gold reward given by the Emperor!
Looking at this huge sum of money, Jiang Chen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
This regent is really generous, and he hasn't even sat on the throne yet.
If he spends so much money, what will happen if he becomes the emperor? !
Moreover, to put it bluntly, this money is still exploited from the people.
What's more, Jiang Chen also knew that it was not easy to get the Regent's money!
"Your Highness really thinks highly of me, Jiang. I wonder if Your Highness has anything else for me to do?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen turned around with a smile and asked Zhou Xuan directly.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from Brother Jiang. This is the prince's secret letter. After I leave, Brother Jiang will know what the prince means after reading it for himself."
After saying that, Zhou Xuan took out a letter and handed it to Jiang Chen.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Brother Zhou has come from afar, and I haven't treated you to a hot meal yet!"
Jiang Chen took the letter from Zhou Xuan with a smile and held Zhou Xuan's hand .
"Haha, there's no need to eat. After eating at Brother Jiang's restaurant, how can I have the stomach for other simple meals?"
After saying that, Zhou Xuan said goodbye.
Jiang Chen escorted Zhou Xuan all the way out of the Huai'an Palace and watched her get on the carriage.
Jiang Chen turned around and went back to the Prince of Huai'an's Mansion and walked to the outside of the Prince of Huai'an's study.
"Your Majesty, Lord Jiang requests to see you."
"Let him in, and get some hot tea."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After receiving the order, the maid retreated.
Not long after, Jiang Chen walked in and bowed to King Huai'an.
"Meet the prince."
"What's wrong, Lord Jiang, why are you here to see me instead of having dinner with those people?"
Looking at Jiang Chen, King Huai'an said with a smile.
"Hey, isn't this a secret letter the Regent gave me?"
"I, the regent, can't make up my mind, so I come to you."
As he spoke, Jiang Chen stepped forward and handed over the secret letter that Zhou Xuan had brought.
"A secret letter from the Regent?!"
King Huai'an took the secret letter in confusion, opened the envelope, and began to read it.
As he watched, Prince Huai'an's expression became increasingly ugly.
"This regent has a good plan. He tripped up Li Jingxuan and now wants to lift Wang Qingxuan up."
"Does this mean that Jiangnan is the one who has the final say in his Wu family?!"
After reading the secret letter, King Huai'an was completely furious.
The secret letter from the Regent instructed Jiang Chen to help Wang Qingxuan take the position of Governor of Jiangnan.
And Wang Qingxuan, who was the regent's minion, was undoubtedly the regent after Li Jingxuan's downfall.
In order to continue to contain the King of Huai'an, another chess piece was placed on the Jiangnan chessboard.
"My Lord, what do you think we should do?"
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Jiang Chen, whose life and property were firmly in the hands of the Regent, was really at a loss.
If he does not follow the regent's orders, then Li Jiadong .
They will all be turned into corpses by the Regent!
Faced with this situation, Jiang Chen did not want to follow the Regent's orders.
But for the sake of his hard-earned foundation, he had to go against his own heart.
"I understand, since he wants Wang Qingxuan to be the governor of Jiangnan."
"Then let Wang Qingxuan take charge. As for the other matters."
"Master Jiang, you don't have to worry. I will find a way to handle it."
Prince Huai'an rubbed his forehead and said to Jiang Chen.
"Then thank you, Your Majesty."
"Well, by the way, how is the plan to wipe out the Japanese pirates going?"
"Your Highness, the plan is ready. Now we are just waiting for an opportunity."
"An opportunity for us to get rid of these beasts who have been plaguing Jiangnan for more than a decade once and for all!"
After listening to Jiang Chen's words, King Huai'an nodded with satisfaction.
