Chapter 1308: The Code of Along the River During the Qingming Festival - Wen Yue and Zhang Qiniang

Chapter 1309: Wen Yue and Zhang Qiniang in "The Code of Along the River During the Qingming Festival"

"King Yong?" Chen Kaiyi looked at Jiang Chen.

"Yes, King Yong is one of the princes, and he is also a greedy person." Jiang Chen remembered that King Yong in the play was a greedy and ruthless character. He sold arms and caused the death of the entire Huo family in the Battle of Lonely City. Later, he and his son rebelled and were pacified by Ling Buyi.

Now he only needs to use these plots to push King Yong to rebel in advance.

If Ling Buyi was gone, although there were countless civil officials and military generals in the court, Emperor Wen would not be at ease.

In addition, Liu Xiu and others were in Xinghan Continent, and they might really want chaos in the world.

What's more, with Liu Xiu, there are Wang Kuang and Wang Feng.

"I will arrange it." Chen Kaiyi said.

...

Central Continent, Mu'an Country Wanshou Mountain.

"How did your majesty have time to come to Mu'an Country?" Jiang Baoning asked, leaning on Jiang Chen's arms.

"Of course I miss my queen." Jiang Chen said in Jiang Baoning's ear: "I haven't been with the queen for several days. Queen, don't you miss me?"

"No." Jiang Baoning said without hesitation.

"Really? Then just now..." Jiang Chen smiled meaningfully.

"Just now... you asked me to do it, not what I wanted." Jiang Baoning argued.

"Really?" Jiang Chen felt the beauty of Jiang Baoning and said: "Then can we..."

"No, I just want to lean on you for a while." Jiang Baoning said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen smiled.

"Your Majesty, I found that the strong men in the fourth world are not like you." Jiang Baoning said.

"Like me? How about it?" Jiang Chen didn't understand.

"It's not..." Jiang Baoning couldn't say the rest of the words.

"It's not what?" Jiang Chen asked.

"It's..." Jiang Baoning said something indescribable in Jiang Chen's ear.

"This is my talent, which may have nothing to do with practice and strength." Jiang Chen laughed and said, "Are you satisfied with my talent?"

"..." Jiang Baoning.

"Not satisfied? Then let's continue..." Jiang Chen started to fight while talking.

"No, I just want to lean on you like this." Jiang Baoning held Jiang Chen's hand.

"Aren't you dissatisfied? So I..."

"Who said I'm dissatisfied." Jiang Baoning glared at Jiang Chen unhappily.

"So..."

"Don't talk." Jiang Baoning covered Jiang Chen's mouth.

Jiang Chen took Jiang Baoning's hand down, and then changed the topic and chatted.

An hour later, Jiang Chen left the room, leaving Jiang Baoning who was sleeping soundly.

"Your Majesty."

Han Tongxin bowed to Jiang Chen.

"Yes." Jiang Chen waved to Han Tongxin.

"Your Majesty." Han Tongxin came to Jiang Chen.

"Have you been well these days?" Jiang Chen asked, holding Han Tongxin's hand.

"It was a little uncomfortable at first, but after a few days of adaptation, I feel that it is actually the same as other places." Han Tongxin replied.

"That's good." Jiang Chen took Han Tongxin's hand and talked while walking.

To Jiang Chen, Han Tongxin is a little beauty.

Even though three years have passed in the first and fourth worlds, it has not changed in Jiang Chen's heart.

The two walked and talked.

This is Wanshou Mountain.

Other places in Mu'an Country may not be under the control of the Jiang family, but Wanshou Mountain is definitely under the control of the Jiang family. What's more, Jiang Chen is usually cautious. Except when practicing Xiaoyao Tian Jue, he always disguises himself, and he is also disguising himself now.

"Your Majesty, I heard from the Queen that the Yongqing army has captured several cities now. Aren't you worried?" Han Tongxin asked.

"Do you think I need to worry?" Jiang Chen asked back.

"Your Majesty is confident and must have a way to deal with it." Han Tongxin reacted. What if the Yongqing army is strong? If Jiang Chen really wanted to do it, Jiang Chen could do it alone.

"The layout is almost complete now. Next, the army of Mu'an will defeat the army of Yongqing." Jiang Chen said.

At the end of July, the army of Yongqing had already moved south.

Unfortunately, few of the governors at the border could resist.

Although this was expected, Jiang Chen was still very dissatisfied.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen and Xiao Yanyan never thought of using these governors to resist Yongqing.

"Then I'm relieved." Han Tongxin said.

"Even if you are alone, you may be able to deal with the army of Yongqing." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"I can't do it, and I haven't seen blood." Han Tongxin shook his head hurriedly.

"Then when you go to the fourth world, try to kill the monster." Jiang Chen knew that what Han Tongxin said was true. Even if he had been trained and had not seen blood, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

"I listen to your majesty." Han Tongxin whispered.

"Martial artists must go through trials and tribulations in their training, and this level must be passed for both themselves and their families. However, this requires a strong will." Jiang Chen said.

"Will?" Han Tongxin looked at Jiang Chen.

"Yes." Jiang Chen and Han Tongxin explained.

Will is very important for a person.

It is even more difficult to hone a person's will.

"Your Majesty, there is a pavilion in front, let's go sit there." Han Tongxin said.

"Okay."

Jiang Chen pulled Han Tongxin to the pavilion, sat on the stone pier, and then pulled Han Tongxin into his arms.

"Your Majesty." Han Tongxin's face turned red.

"Tongxin, you are so beautiful." Jiang Chen lifted Han Tongxin's chin.

In the previous life, even a woman like Han Tongxin would have been hard to come by.

But that's different now.

"Your Majesty, is it true?" Han Tongxin asked. ,

"Of course it's true." Jiang Chen lowered his head and kissed her.

Han Tongxin was shocked and clenched his hands tightly.

After a long time, Jiang Chencai and Han Tongxin separated.

"Your Majesty." Han Tongxin lowered his head and did not dare to look at Jiang Chen.

"I'm shy." Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.

"without……"

"Tongxin." Jiang Chen found a topic to chat with Han Tongxin.

Of course, Jiang Chen didn't just chat, he kept his hands warm on Han Tongxin.

Although it was August, Jiang Chen didn't waste time keeping warm.

…

Central Continent, Song State, Kaifeng Mansion, in a courtyard.

"Ms. Lin, are you really here?" Jiang Chen said as he walked into the yard and saw a woman.

This woman is none other than Zhang Zhenniang.

Zhang Zhenniang in the movies "Leopard Head Lin Chong: Wild Boar Forest", "Leopard Head Lin Chong: White Tiger Hall", "Leopard Head Lin Chong: Mountain Temple".

Zhang Zhenniang in the play has a virtuous appearance, and her movements show the gentle temperament of a lady.

When he met Zhang Zhenniang before, Jiang Chen felt that she had a good temperament, so after helping him, he told her the address here so that she could live here if she had difficulties. Unexpectedly, she actually came.

And now Jiang Chen came here because he knew Zhang Zhenniang was here.

"Young Master." Zhang Zhenniang saluted.

"Ms. Lin, you're too polite." Jiang Chen returned the greeting: "But, Mrs. Lin, what happened to you? Do you want my help?"

"No need." Zhang Zhenniang replied.

"Then Mrs. Lin, you can live here with peace of mind." Jiang Chen felt that the reason why Zhang Zhenniang lived here might have something to do with Gao Yanei.

"Thank you, sir. I don't know your surname." Zhang Zhenniang asked.

"My surname is Jiang." Jiang Chen said.

"Mr. Jiang." Zhang Zhenniang saluted.

"Then I won't disturb Madam Lin. By the way, Madam Lin, just keep these coins with you." Jiang Chen took out a piece of silver and handed it to Zhang Zhenniang.

"Mr. Jiang, I can't have it." Zhang Zhenniang said quickly.

"Ms. Lin, just take it. The worst you can do is give it back to me later. After all, you are hiding here for special reasons and you don't have much of a livelihood." Jiang Chen said.

"This..." Zhang Zhenniang hesitated.

"Take it." Jiang Chen put the silver into Zhang Zhenniang's hand: "It's not convenient for me to be here, so I just want to leave first."

"Master Jiang." Zhang Zhenniang stopped Jiang Chen.

"Is there anything else?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Mr. Jiang, can I ask you a favor?" Zhang Zhenniang asked.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Something happened to my husband, but I don't know his situation. I would like to ask Mr. Jiang to help me find out." Zhang Zhenniang said.

"Who is your husband?" Jiang Chen asked knowingly.

"My husband's name is Lin Chong, and he used to be the instructor of the Forbidden Army." Zhang Zhenniang said.

"Okay, I will help you find out." Jiang Chen did not refuse.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Jiang." Zhang Zhenniang said.

"You're welcome, it's just a small matter. By the way, Mrs. Lin, you are here alone. Do you want me to deliver news to your parents?" Jiang Chen asked.

"No need." Zhang Zhenniang refused.

In Zhang Zhenniang's view, her parents didn't know the news about her, so Gao Yanei would not target them.

"In that case, I'll take my leave first."

Jiang Chen bowed, turned and left.

Seeing Jiang Chen leave, Zhang Zhenniang breathed a sigh of relief.

She came here because of Gao Yanei and had no place to go. After all, this was Jiang Chen's yard. If Jiang Chen wanted to drive her away, she really didn't know what to do.

…

other side.

"Ms. Lin, Zhang Zhenniang..."

The figure of Zhang Zhenniang appeared in Jiang Chen's mind.

I have to say that Zhang Zhenniang is still very attractive to him, the successor of Wei Wu's ambition.

"Now that Zhang Zhenniang is here, can we use a trick..."

Jiang Chen walked forward while thinking.

Just when Jiang Chen was walking through two alleys, a voice came from the side.

Jiang Chen turned around and looked.

"Is it her?"

Jiang Chen recognized it.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you signed in successfully and obtained the intermediate spiritual fish pond transformation diagram. 】

"Intermediate Spiritual Fish Pond Renovation Plan?"

"This is the tenth time I have obtained the intermediate spiritual fish pond renovation plan."

"Coupled with the intermediate-level spiritual fish pond transformation diagrams I obtained when I was promoted to the Imperial Clan and the Heavenly Clan, there are already quite a few intermediate-level spiritual fish pond transformation diagrams in the system space."

"This sign-in reward is good."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the heroine.

Wen Yue, a character in "The Code of Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

She is the wife of Zhao Buyu in the play. On the surface, she is a capable wife who only wants to buy a house and land, but in fact, she has a secret past.

"Wen Yue in "The Code of Along the River During the Qingming Festival"?"

"I didn't expect that this drama would also be integrated into the Song Dynasty in the second world."

Wen Yue was originally named Su Yue, the eldest daughter of Su Zhi, a master worker at Taihu Shipyard. She originally lived in a harmonious family, but one night she encountered a disaster of extermination. Wen Yue escaped under the protection of her mother. Wen Yue is naturally beautiful and has a good skill in making oil-paper umbrellas. Her Wenji Umbrella Shop recently received a big business. However, she was often bullied by Gan Liang and others. Gan Liang relied on his godfather being a popular person in front of the imperial concubine to plot against Wen Yue. Wen Yue tried to resist, but was eventually rescued by Zhao Buyu. In addition, Wen Yue was also an eyewitness of the Li Yan case and survived. She has experienced many hardships and conspiracies, and these experiences have made her identity more complicated and rich.

At the same time, Wen Yue is the backbone of the Zhao family. She takes care of all the big and small things in the family. On the surface, Wen Yue is a good wife and mother, but she also has a hidden identity, a professional killer, but after getting married, she stopped.

Logically speaking, Zhao Buyu is timid and a bit cowardly, so Wen Yue should look down on him, but she didn't expect Wen Yue to be willing to hide her identity and do housework at home.

And Wen Yue is with Zhao Buyu not only for love, but also for other selfish reasons. Wen Yue and Zhao Buyu first met at a critical moment when her mission failed, her master and partner were killed, and she was also being pursued by the government. Originally, she was ready to fight to the death, but Zhao Buyu appeared and saved her life. Zhao Buyu fell in love with Wen Yue at first sight. Seeing Wen Yue's fear in the face of the government, Zhao Buyu also realized that there was a problem, so he took the initiative to help Wen Yue out, saying that she was his fiancée, and escaped the search, and he also took the initiative to help afterwards.

Although Wen Yue had no feelings for Zhao Buyu at first, he saved her life after all. Moreover, when she wanted to leave, Zhao Buyu was reluctant but did not stop her. Instead, he sold his heirloom and bought her a horse, and then promised that he could wait for her to change her mind. In the past days of Wen Yue, there was no such person who was wholeheartedly good to her. She was moved, so she accepted Zhao Buyu's feelings.

Being a pirate is an important reason why Wen Yue chose to be with Zhao Buyu. She is not a native of Kaifeng Prefecture, but she settled down after marrying Zhao Buyu. Wen Yue has been wandering since she was a child. Although she was adopted by a pirate later, she has never had a real identity. Moreover, her master has been killed, and she has nowhere to go and no one to rely on. The appearance of Zhao Buyu is a good opportunity for her to appear in front of everyone openly.

After marrying Zhao Buyu, she can stay in Tokyo City legitimately and no longer have to run for her life. Therefore, after some thought, Wen Yue chose an identity that is most suitable for hiding, that is, being an ordinary housewife, so that no one will doubt her. Moreover, they did not get married at the beginning. They should have gotten married after a few years of getting along and felt that it was appropriate.

Although Zhao Buyu is very cowardly, his feelings for Wen Yue are real. When his wife was in trouble, his anxiety and concern were obvious to all. For Wen Yue, he can do scary things, and even protect Wen Yue at the cost of his own life. It can be seen that the feelings between the two of them are real.

"I didn't expect to meet Wen Yue in Kaifeng Mansion."

"I don't know how many years Wen Yue has been in Kaifeng Mansion."

"Or, Wen Yue got married this year."

"It seems that the plot starts fifteen years after Wen Yue got married."

"Before the plot begins, Wen Yue is not a woman (that is, she has never been favored by anyone)."

Jiang Chen looked at Wen Yue.

At this moment, Jiang Chen felt Wen Yue looking at him.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Chen's heart moved.

I didn't expect Wen Yue to be so alert.

It seems that her skills are not lost.

"Wen Yue is here, so is her sister-in-law also nearby?"

Jiang Chen walked over without changing his expression.

If he hadn't met her, it would be fine.

Now that he has met her, he naturally has to sign in.

As for Wen Yue, even if her vigilance has not changed, what can she see?

A moment later, Jiang Chen saw Wen Yue's sister-in-law.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen said silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, the sign in is successful, and ten thousand-year-old Tianshan snow lotuses are obtained. 】

"Ten thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotuses?"

"I signed in Ning Meng, Yuan Lai, Feng Zhiwei, Song Yudie, Yi Wenyan, Liu Yanping, Lin Shaochun, and Jiang Tian to get ten thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotuses. So far, forty-five have been used up. In addition to the one obtained when the family was promoted to the Celestial Clan, there are only one thousand and fifty-five thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotuses left in the system space. Today, I finally signed in and got ten."

"However, this is only the tenth time I signed in to get the ten-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus."

"Compared with other thousand-year-old medicinal materials, this ten-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus is not much."'

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female protagonist who signed in.

Zhao Ban'er is a character in "The Code of the Qingming Shanghe Tu".

In the play, she is Zhao Buyu's sister. She has a lively and cute personality and is full of charm. She is the female coroner in the play.

"Sure enough, if you can see Wen Yue, you can see Zhao Ban'er."

"Zhao Ban'er is a coroner, similar to Tian Sanqi."

Zhao Baner in the play, as Zhao Moer's sister, grew up in the warm embrace of family affection since childhood, and this family affection also forged her kind and brave heart. When the dark cloud of the Meichuan case loomed over everyone's head, and the danger and mystery intertwined into an invisible net, Zhao Baner did not choose to retreat, but resolutely stepped forward. She knew that her relatives were deeply involved, and her concern and worry for her family turned into fearless motivation.

In order to save Zhao Buyu, she took risks alone and stepped into the unknown and dangerous situation. Every step forward is accompanied by a possible fatal crisis, but her eyes always flash with a firm light. With the delicate mind and keen observation unique to women, she looks for a faint ray of hope in the seemingly clueless clues. Maybe it's a rumor on the streets, or maybe it's a look from a witness, which she captured keenly and became the key puzzle to solve the mystery.

During the investigation, she encountered various difficulties and obstacles. There were secret obstructions from mysterious forces, trying to stop her from pursuing the truth; there were also complicated interpersonal relationships, which made her hesitate between trust and suspicion. But Zhao Ban'er was not defeated by these difficulties. She cleverly resolved the crisis with her wisdom and maneuvered between various forces. She learned to hide her true intentions, confuse her opponents with a seemingly weak appearance, but in fact she kept collecting evidence in secret, and gradually pieced together the shocking truth behind the Meichuan case.

When the truth finally came to light, Zhao Ban'er stood in front of everyone, perhaps with fatigue on her face, but more of the joy and pride of victory. She proved with her actions that in that seemingly male-dominated world, women can also become heroes who protect their families and pursue justice with wisdom and courage.

"When the plot begins, Zhao Ban'er is fifteen or sixteen years old."

"Now Zhao Ban'er is at most thirteen or fourteen years old."

"This means that when Wen Yue got married, Zhao Ban'er was just born."

Seeing Zhao Ban'er, Jiang Chen thought of Tian Xiaohui in "City in the City".

Zhao Ban'er and Tian Xiaohui were played by the same actor in the previous life.

The difference is that Zhao Ban'er is young now and looks a little naive, while Tian Xiaohui is a fledgling college student.

"Interesting."

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed and he continued to move forward.

After all, he came to sign in today. As for whether he would have contact in the future, that would depend on future events.

However, when Jiang Chen didn't expect it, he just walked out of the alley and saw Liang Yi in the distance.

"Why is Liang Yi here?"

Jiang Chen quickly turned around and changed his appearance, and then walked towards Liang Yi.

Logically, now that the Song Dynasty is on the Northern Expedition, Liang Yi is from the Zongzhang Yamen and should not be in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Look at the correct version one by one!

Is Liang Yi going to have something important?

"If there is no need to expose my identity now, there is no need to change my appearance."

Jiang Chen walked past Liang Yi.

In addition to not wanting Liang Yi to know his existence, Jiang Chen is not interested in other things.

After all, now in Kaifeng Prefecture, Wei Wei, Qiu Yan, Yao Lan and others have formed a team to solve all problems.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Chen came to a street.

"Huh?"

Just as Jiang Chen was about to enter the Kaifeng Prefecture branch of the Xingchen Caravan, a figure walked down from the carriage.

"Is it her?"

Jiang Chen recognized her.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently said in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, sign in successfully, and get a Luo Chi Nian fruit. ]

[Congratulations to the host, sign in 1,380 female protagonists in a row, reward attribute points 10, space ring expansion 100 cubic meters, ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos, Jinyiwei training card. 】

"One Luo Chi Nian Fruit?"

"This is the twelfth time I signed in to get one Luo Chi Nian Fruit, plus the one thousand Chi Nian Fruits I got when I was promoted to the imperial clan. There are a total of 2,728 Chi Nian Fruits."

"This is a good thing."

"Starting from Xia Ziwei, Jinsuo, Qin Yi, Hao Jia, Li Wan, Li Wen, Li Qi. Wen Yue, Zhao Ban'er, and now Zhang Qinian, I have signed in ten heroines without realizing it."

"10 attribute points and a space ring with a space expansion of 100 cubic meters are the basic special rewards."

"Ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos?"

"This is the eleventh time I signed in to get ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos."

"I got ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos twice as a special reward before. Year-old Poria cocos, and then signed in from Du Bingyan, Zhu Sha, Zhu Yunqiao, Lan Qianyi, Qian Anan, Amanda and others to get ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos, and promoted to the Celestial Clan to get a thousand plants. I didn't expect to sign in and get ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos now. "

"Due to alchemy and other reasons, a lot of ten-year-old Poria cocos have been used up during this period. There are only one thousand and eighteen plants in the system space. It's not bad to sign in and get ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos now. "

"However, after the Jiang family medicine garden is cultivated, these ten-thousand-year-old medicinal materials will not need to be worried. "

"Jinyiwei training card?"

"This special reward can only be said to be average. "

At the moment, Jiang Chen looked at the signing heroine.

Zhang Qiniang, a character in "The Code of the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival".

Zhang Qinniang in the play is a real estate developer. Zhang Qinniang is beautiful, with delicate features, enchanting, tall and charming, changeable, cruel, brutal and brutal. In the play, Zhang Qinniang is a famous real estate developer in Dongjing City. Because her adoptive father is a tyrant, no one dares to offend him easily, so Zhang Qinniang becomes more and more arrogant, abandons human lives, and burns living people into ashes to make fertilizer for flowers. Five years ago, a hat monster also appeared in the Yanglou Street area, causing a sharp drop in housing prices. Zhang Qinniang took the opportunity to buy a large number of properties. Later, it was reported that the government wanted to build a garden here, and housing prices soared, and Zhang Qinniang made a lot of money. As a result, many people were displaced, and the culprit of everything was Zhang Qinniang. In the end, Zhang Qinniang wanted to use the hat monster to create chaos in other places to lower the land price and then buy it, and then let the Imperial City Division solve the case. In the end, Zhang Qinniang was pierced from behind by Chunxi and ended her life.

"Zhang Qiniang."

"I didn't expect that I could sign on her body."

In the play, Zhao Buyu quickly solved the case of the murder of the eldest brother of the Wu family and found that the murderers were the second brother and the younger sister of the Wu family. It turned out that the three were not real brothers and sisters. The second brother and the younger sister of the Wu family were brothers and sisters, and the eldest brother was their distant cousin. After their parents died, they entrusted the two to the gambling-addicted "eldest brother", who forced the younger sister to pretend to be disabled outside to gain sympathy, and abused the second brother and violated the younger sister at home, and even tried to sell the house to pay off the debt. In a conflict, the younger sister beat the "eldest brother" to death with an oil lamp.

Zhao Buyu investigated the scene and quickly deduced that the younger sister was not disabled through some details such as the stains on the bottom of the younger sister's skirt and the location of the rouge powder. In the "eldest brother's" room, the loss of the oil lamp became the key evidence of her murder, and the truth finally came to light.

Although the murderer of the "eldest brother" has been arrested, the hat demon case has not been solved and is shrouded in mystery. To uncover the truth, we must start with Zhang Qinniang, because she is the main victim of the hat demon case. Zhao Buyu is also looking for the person who ordered the attack on Wen Yue behind the scenes. Zhang Qinniang's adoptive father is Zou Mian, who instructed Dylan to forge auspicious signs to please the emperor. Zhang Qinniang was responsible for land speculation and lending business in Bianliang. After the hat demon case broke out, land prices plummeted, and the interests of the elders' group were hit hard, which put her under great pressure.

In order to calm the situation, Zhang Qinniang initially found someone to quickly close the case, but things became complicated as Zhao Buyu intervened and revealed the truth. Although the murderer was caught, the hat demon committed a crime again and killed Zhang Qinniang's housekeeper, who was also a person placed by Zou Mian next to Zhang Qinniang.

The housekeeper was killed in the street, and the hat demon bit his scalp and disappeared in the crowd. At that time, Zhao Buyu's sister Zhao Baner tracked the "hat demon" on the spot and accidentally brought it home. Zhang Qinniang had moved into Zhao Buyu's house in advance for protection, and she obviously knew the development of the incident.

At the time of the incident, Zhao Buyu and Wen Yue were discussing the case in the mansion. When they heard the news, they hurried home. Although they acted quickly, they arrived slower than Zhang Qiniang. This shows that Zhang Qiniang was prepared for the murder of the housekeeper. Her real intention was to stir up the land price by directing and acting herself to trap the insiders.

So in the whole thing, although Zhang Qiniang offered a large reward to attract the illusion of solving the case, she never really wanted to solve the problem. By delaying time, she tested whether Zhao Buyu was sent by the elders, and the task directed at Zou Mian clearly revealed the fierce internal struggle.

It can be said that the series of murders and conspiracies in the play are all the power struggles of the group behind. The elders realized their own interests by forcing Zou Mian to show up, revealing that from the Meichuan case to the hat monster case, they were all external manifestations of the game between big men. And Zhang Qiniang stayed at Zhao Buyu's house, one to stabilize the situation, and the other to further verify Zhao Buyu's position to ensure her own safety, hovering on the edge of the two forces.

"It can be said that Zhang Qinniang's death in the play was due to his ability to please everyone."

"Of course, Zhang Qinniang is just a pawn."

"Otherwise, how could Zhang Qinniang, a weak woman, become a giant in the real estate industry in the capital in the Song Dynasty and control half of the prosperity of the capital."

"However, Zhang Qinniang is also a capable person. Although she looks like a beautiful woman, she actually hides endless cunning and cruelty in her heart. She does things swiftly and decisively, never dragging her feet. No matter who dares to disobey her will, she will punish them severely."

Jiang Chen remembered the scene in the play where Kang Zongguan knelt on the ground to pretend to be a dog eating quail soup in order to please her, but Zhang Qinniang just lowered her eyebrows and raised a mocking sneer at the corner of her mouth. Her cold eyes were full of murderous intent and sarcasm.

In this scene, Zhang Qinniang didn't say a word, but it was enough to make people feel her terribleness and ruthlessness.

This situation is fully reflected in the play.

In the play, when Zhao Buyu went to Zhang Qiniang's house, he was a little stunned when he saw the flowers all over the house. Most people would keep flowers outdoors, but Zhang Qiniang's flowers were not only kept indoors, but also grew extremely bright. Then Zhang Qiniang said that her flowers were made of nutrients made from ashes. As she spoke, she picked up a jar and sprinkled a handful of ashes on the flowers. When she said that the flowers she raised grew well, she couldn't hide her pride on her face.

In order to let Sun Bo make a device for her to make a cat demon, he threatened his favorite woman Chunxi. First, someone beat Sun Bo, and then poured the soup he brought on the ground and asked him to lie on the ground and lick it clean bit by bit. At first, Sun Bo was reluctant to do this, but he didn't expect that someone would hold a hot iron and prepare to put it on Chunxi's body in the next second. Seeing this scene, Sun Bo quickly expressed his willingness to lick it, and he lay on the ground and started licking it.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiniang didn't give him a chance at all. The branding iron fell on Chunxi's shoulders and back, and they became bloody in an instant. However, they had no ability to fight back and could only be tortured by Zhang Qiniang.

Unfortunately, Zhang Qiniang underestimated the desperate people, so she was killed by Chunxi.

"Zhang Qiniang, it's interesting."

Jiang Chen glanced at Zhang Qiniang and walked into the Kaifeng branch of the Xingchen Caravan.

Wei Wei welcomed Jiang Chen into the inner room when she saw him.

"Boss Jiang."

Yao Lan was there too.

"Well, how is the Xingchen Caravan now?" Jiang Chen asked.

"The development of the Xingchen Caravan has not changed during this period." Yao Lan replied.

"Do you know Zhang Qiniang?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Zhang Qiniang? She is very famous in Kaifeng Prefecture." Yao Lan said.

"Boss Jiang, why are you asking this?" Wei Wei asked.

"Just now I got some news about Zhang Qiniang..." Jiang Chen said.

Zhang Qinniang is the adopted daughter of Zou Mian, the "Southeast Small Court". Zou Mian is the one who collects rare treasures and money for the emperor. At the same time, Kang Qian, the general manager of the Zhang Mansion, was sent by Zou Mian to Zhang Qinniang. In addition, half of the real estate in Tokyo belongs to Zhang Qinniang. Therefore, Zhang Qinniang's real backer is not Zou Mian. Like Zou Mian, she is a white glove who is exposed to the public. Their real backer, no need to guess, is the emperor.

Zhang Qinniang not only manages real estate, but also lends money. The gambling house where Wu Xiang gambles and the female sumo match that Wu Xiang bets on must be Zhang Qinniang. Real estate, finance, gambling, and events are all one-stop. These industries are the most profitable in the prosperous Tokyo.

So, what does Zhang Qinniang do with all this money?

Nothing else, just raise money for the emperor to enjoy and fight.

The story of "The Code of the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" begins in the third year of Xuanhe, and the Northern Song Dynasty fell six years later. In the fifth year of Xuanhe, that is, in 1123, Zhao Ji launched a war against Xixia and Liao, and won. Of course, the attack on Liao was a joint expedition with Jin. After defeating Liao, Jin plundered the wealth and population of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and Zhao Ji only got an empty city.

Against this background, coupled with the fact that the industries under Zhang Qiniang's name were all for raising money for the emperor, so behind the hat demon case and the killing of Zhang Qiniang was a financial war.

There are still two or three years before the plot begins.

But the cat demon case has already happened.

"Cat demon case? Mr. Jiang, do you think this cat demon case is related to Zhang Qiniang?" Yao Lan asked.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

"Zhang Qiniang is in real estate, what's the benefit for her?" Wei Wei asked.

"Maybe it's another country." Jiang Chen said meaningfully.

By creating the Hat Monster case, no one dared to buy Zhang Qinniang's property. No one dared to buy a house, and Zhang Qinniang's loan business could not be carried out. In addition, Wu Xiang was a gambler. Once the news of his death by the Hat Monster spread, fewer people would gamble and bet on the game. The industry that could have made a lot of money was no longer profitable because of the panic created by the Hat Monster case. Once it was no longer profitable, what would the emperor use to launch a large-scale border war?

So it is not difficult to understand who the forces and bosses behind the Hat Monster case and the killing of Zhang Qinniang are.

According to the situation in the play, Xixia, Liao, Jin, Goryeo, Fang La, etc. are all possible.

In this world of film and television integration, Xixia, Yangguo, Beiliang, and Liao are all possible.

After all, the border wars of Song Dynasty have been continuous in recent years.

In the play, Wen Yue received the order to kill Zhang Qinniang, Wu Xiang was killed by the Hat Monster, and even Kang Qian was killed by the Hat Monster, which happened almost at the same time. And behind these things, whoever is the biggest beneficiary is the person behind the scenes.

The people behind the scenes in the play are just superficial people, scapegoats, and white gloves in Jiang Chen's view.

After all, the impact of the hat demon case on Zhang Qiniang's industry is definitely not as strong as directly killing Zhang Qiniang and Kang Qian. Because, for people like Zhang Qiniang and Kang Qian, there are some things that Zou Mian and the emperor can't do without them. It's not easy to change a person to control a real estate-finance-gambling-event system.

So in the play, in addition to Xixia, Liao, Jin, Fang La, etc., other forces may also be involved in the hat demon case and the killing of Zhang Qiniang.

"So, Zhang Qiniang was pushed out." Wei Wei said.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

Ancient people are not fools.

Say that ancient people don't understand financial warfare?

It's just that financial warfare has not been recorded.

It's like the financial market in the mainland of the previous life. A drop of a few points is a fine-tuning, while a drop of one point in the US financial market is a big drop.

"In the second world, how many countries' wars involve financial warfare?" Yao Lan was stunned.

"A lot." Jiang Chen said.

The forms and cases of financial warfare in history mainly include currency devaluation, inflation, trade restrictions and financial fraud.

As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, the world's earliest currency, Jiaozi, appeared. After the practice of the Song and Jin Dynasties, the paper money of the Yuan Dynasty developed quite maturely. However, due to the court's excessive issuance of paper money, serious inflation was triggered, and eventually the paper money had to be withdrawn from circulation and replaced by silver.

In addition, during Wang Mang's reign, a large-scale currency reform was carried out, and a variety of new coins were issued, which led to soaring prices and people's loss of trust in the new coins, which eventually led to economic chaos and the collapse of the regime.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi's prime minister Guan Zhong controlled the supply of Lu silk (a kind of thin silk), causing food shortages in Lu and Liang, and eventually forced the two countries to surrender. Guan Zhong achieved the purpose of financial warfare by controlling the supply of Lu silk, causing the economic collapse of Lu and Liang.

During Dong Zhuo's reign, the abolition of Wuzhu coins and the casting of small coins led to soaring prices, the people's lives were difficult, and eventually caused social unrest. Sun Quan of Dongwu forced the circulation of large-denomination currency "Daquan Wubai", causing inflation, which eventually affected the country's economic stability.

It can be said that there were countless financial wars in ancient times.

Therefore, it is normal for financial wars to appear in "The Code of the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival".

In these worlds, Jiang Chen wanted to develop industries and also mobilized the power of finance.

"It seems that I still need to read more history books." Yao Lan sighed.

"The land annexation in Song State was serious, relying on the development of commerce. You should also understand that the mall is like a battlefield, or even more fierce than a battlefield." Jiang Chen said.

In the business world, killing is bloodless.

"Mr. Jiang, do you think Zhang Qiniang has any ideas?" Wei Wei asked.

"If Zhang Qiniang had our strength, then she would be the owner of this wealth, but she is not, which means she is a white glove. And a white glove, there are many people who want her life, so we can use this to reach an agreement with Zhang Qiniang." Jiang Chen said.

"Pull Zhang Qiniang over?" Yao Lan asked.

"Zhang Qiniang's ability is unquestionable as someone who can control a real estate-finance-gambling-event system. Zhang Qiniang is ruthless and can help us solve some problems." Jiang Chen never thought that doing business is a peaceful business.

The country is made of bones.

The same is true for the business world.

It is true in any world.

It is true that Zhang Qiniang is ruthless.

But if Zhang Qiniang was not ruthless, how could she become a white glove?

If Zhang Qiniang was not ruthless, her later words would have eaten her up.

"Is it possible?" Wei Wei asked.

"Let Jinyiwei investigate first. Everyone has weaknesses. As long as we can find Zhang Qiniang's weakness, it is very possible. What's more, Zhang Qiniang controls the network of relationships in Kaifeng Prefecture. If I can use it, it is equivalent to controlling Kaifeng Prefecture." In Jiang Chen's view, Zhang Qiniang's biggest weakness is that she wants to survive.

She knows that she is a white glove, so she also understands that if the white glove is useless, she will be dealt with.

"That's true." Wei Wei nodded.

"I'll leave this matter to you." Jiang Chen said.

"Boss Jiang, don't worry." Wei Wei said.

"Boss Jiang, your stand-in is in Liangshan now. Do you want to go and see it?" Yao Lan asked.

"There is nothing going on in Liangshan now, so you don't need to worry about it." Jiang Chen said: "By the way, how is the fight between Song and Liao?"

"Ye Zhao has won several battles." Wei Wei talked about the war between Song and Liao.

"Ye Zhao is worthy of being Ye Zhao, but the more powerful she is, the more Emperor Cheng Zhao is afraid of her." Jiang Chen said.

"This is inevitable." Wei Wei nodded.

There is no good end for those who are too powerful to be worthy of the emperor.

Ye Zhao did not want to rebel, so she could only compromise.

"Ye Zhao is a woman, so the best way for the emperor to deal with her is to marry a playboy." Jiang Chen said.

"This is an insult to Ye Zhao." Yao Lan said.

"Whether for the family or for the court, Ye Zhao can only surrender." Jiang Chen remembered that in the play, Ye Zhao, the goddess of war, married a playboy and ended up happily.

Who believes this?

They are not on the same channel, how can they love each other?

It's just a forced smile.

After all, how can a brave and combative female general like the life in the harem?

In Jiang Chen's opinion, Ye Zhao is servile.

This result is better than not disguising herself as a man and becoming a general.

"Maybe Emperor Cheng Zhao has decided who to marry Ye Zhao to." Jiang Chen said.

"It shouldn't be, after all, we are still in Hezhong Prefecture." Wei Wei said.

"It is because we are in Hezhong Prefecture that Emperor Cheng Zhao will not let Ye Zhao become the second me." Jiang Chen said: "Perhaps because of my existence, Ye Zhao's fate may be more tragic."

"You mean..." Wei Wei understood.

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Then do we need to do something?" Wei Wei knew that Jiang Chen had already invited Ye Zhao to join the Jiang family.

"We just need to secretly deal with the spies of Beiliang and Liao in Kaifeng Prefecture." Jiang Chen said.

"Beiliang and Liao? In the name of Ye Zhao?" Yao Lan reacted.

"In the name of Ye Zhao?" Wei Wei was a little puzzled.

"If Emperor Cheng Zhao knew that Ye Zhao's people could deal with people from Beiliang and Liao in Kaifeng Prefecture, then Emperor Cheng Zhao would be more afraid of Ye Zhao." Yao Lan explained.

Wei Wei's eyes lit up: "Mr. Jiang, you are a cunning old man."

"What did you say?" Jiang Chen's face darkened.

"Did I say something wrong?" Wei Wei said, "Mr. Jiang, your actual age is nearly 40."

"So what if I'm 40? My cultivation is at the Martial Emperor level, and my average life span is 3,000 years." Jiang Chen said.

"So, you are a minor?" Wei Wei said.

"What do you mean by minor? Have you ever tried to find out whether I am a minor?" Jiang Chen said.

"..." Wei Wei.

"Mr. Jiang, Wei Wei, you should go inside and talk." Yao Lan said.

"Together." Jiang Chen said.

"..." Yao Lan.

...

August 10, Central Continent, Liao Kingdom, Liaoyang Prefecture, Jiang Prefecture.

"How is the Liao Kingdom and the Jurchens fighting now?" Jiang Chen asked.

"The Liao Kingdom and the Jurchens have fought several times, but the elite troops of the Liao Kingdom have been transferred away. The army in Tokyo is not strong and is no match for the Jurchens." Xiao Huanian said.

"How is Han Derang?" Jiang Chen asked.

The last time he came to the second world, facing the Jurchens who were about to besiege the city, Xiao Huanian proposed to use Han Derang to deal with the Jurchens, and Han Derang was also the highest commander of the Liao Kingdom in the northeast.

"We have supported Han Derang, but it is not too obvious." Xiao Huanian told Han Derang's story in detail.

Han Derang and Xiao Yanyan were childhood sweethearts.

She also had a good relationship with Wuguli, but now they were Jiang Chen's women, so Xiao Huanian didn't want Jiang Chen to misunderstand.

"No one knows whether Ye Zhao and the Ye family army can turn the tide in the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty, but before the war between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty ends, the Jurchens must not be allowed to occupy Liaoyang Prefecture." Jiang Chen said, "Now our White Horse Camp is outside the city, right?"

"Yes, they are all hidden outside." Xiao Huanian nodded.

"You can send out 3,000 White Horse Camps to attack the rear of the Jurchens in small groups. At the same time, recruit people from various tribes to form a vassal army." Jiang Chen said.

"Is it necessary? Mr. Jiang, we want to capture the thief and the king." Chen Yifan said.

"Capture the thief and the king? Take down Wanyan Aguda directly?" Jiang Chen was slightly stunned.

"Yes, the Jurchen tribe is like other tribes, and the strong are respected. So, in our opinion, we only need to take action at the critical moment and win people's hearts." Chen Yifan said.

"Sir, we are going to play the role of the high priest of Khitan." Xiao Hu Nian said.

"High priest?" Jiang Chen's eyes flashed.

Before the establishment of the Liao Dynasty, the political system of the Khitan people was relatively primitive. They adopted the election system of the clan commune era. The Khan was only a nominal leader with weak actual control. With the rise of the Khitan people and the establishment of the Liao Dynasty, they actively absorbed the advanced culture of the Han people in the Central Plains, including the hereditary system of the throne and the feudal system. However, in this process, the role of the high priest has also changed. They not only play an important role in religious ceremonies, but also play a key role in social management and cultural inheritance.

The high priest of Khitan is responsible for communicating with the gods in religious ceremonies to ensure the smooth progress of sacrificial activities. Their status and role are similar to those of priests or wizards in the Central Plains, and they are a bridge connecting the human world and the world of gods.

Xiao Hu Nian and his plan is to use the identity of the high priest to enter the management of the Liao Kingdom? Defeat the Jurchens?

Xiao Hu Nian nodded: "Yes. We are going to wait until the Liao army can no longer hold on and then take action. Sir, what do you think of our plan?"
