Jiang Zhinian couldn't help but think of the time when the top scholar was paraded through the streets. She had watched it.

At that time, so many people followed the team to watch, and the nobles had already booked private rooms in the teahouses and restaurants on that street so that they could watch the number one scholar.

Everyone knows that this year's new top scholar is very young and handsome.

She remembered that Ge Ren was wearing the top scholar's uniform, his expression was always calm, his eyes were peaceful, and he did not show any complacency or pride because of winning the top scholar award.

Thinking about how he couldn't take part in the imperial examination in his previous life due to a broken leg, but still sacrificed himself for Dayan in the end, and seeing that he was doing well now, Jiang Zhinian was happy for him.

Ge Ren's intelligence and talent are worthy of the title of top scholar.

Leng Yuebai smiled and said, "After the disaster relief in Jiangzhou, my cousin will arrange for Ge Ren to go to Jiangzhou as the prefect to govern Jiangzhou."

"It's easiest to achieve results and get promoted in Jiangzhou."

"Otherwise, Ge Ren can only stay in the Hanlin Academy to gain experience, and his promotion is too slow."

They don't want to wait that time.

Jiang Zhinian also understood this.

"It's just that the Hanlin Academy is also an important place. It can be close to the crown prince, draft confidential edicts, etc., and can get important news first."

Leng Yuebai said: "This Cheng Xuan can continue to stay in the Hanlin Academy. We also had people in the Hanlin Academy before, so if there is any news, we will know it first."

Jiang Zhinian nodded, and then she understood.

It seems that the prince has made arrangements.

Leng Yuebai said: "But the two people you saved are really good."

"No matter his talent, character or ability, he is great, especially Ge Ren. My cousin wants to make use of him."

Jiang Zhinian said, "That's because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts me. If I tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and he doesn't trust me, then I won't be able to contact them."

Anyway, she believed in Ge Ren's ability and talent.

In his previous life, Cheng Xuan had always been helping Ge Ren. Although he was a county magistrate, he always worked for the people and did not go along with corrupt officials.

Even if such people have made political achievements, they will be suppressed by those above them and will not be able to get promoted.

There is no need for this in this life.

Their abilities and talents can be fully utilized.

"By the way, since Wu Ye is dead, the Wu family is doomed. Should Young General Wu be transferred back to the Wu family to pay tribute to his father? In this case, he will be transferred back from the border. Once a war breaks out at the border, the border will be in danger. Old General Wu is old and I heard he has been injured many times. If he goes to the battlefield again, he..."

Jiang Zhinian knew that General Wu was an extremely good person. He had a good relationship with the Wei family back then. He was a tough guy and had made great contributions.

It would be totally not worth it to die in a war planned by others.

Leng Yuebai said: "We have arrangements."

"When General Wu took Junior General Wu away from the Wu family and went to the border, he announced to the public that Junior General Wu had severed his father-son relationship with Wu Ye and had nothing to do with Wu Ye."

"So he won't come back. General Wu is the one who is in charge, and no one will say anything."

Jiang Zhinian said solemnly, "But that Madam Wu, she is a spy from Southern Xinjiang. Should we allow her to continue to stay in the Wu family and stir up trouble?"

"And the Shi family, is it the Shi family who is in contact with the Cao gang this time, and the route has been leaked?"

"Mrs. Wu gave the news to the Shi family."

Leng Yuebai smiled and said, "We have already arranged to catch the turtle in the jar."

"This incident caused a big stir. The court ordered a thorough investigation, and we have already arrested many people."

"The Shi family can't escape this time, just wait and see."

"We have also been keeping a close eye on Madam Wu, waiting for the Shi family to give her up. Even if they don't, she can't escape the blame."

"They spent a lot of money to kill my cousin and exposed Madam Wu."

Anyway, Leng Yuebai will not let them escape this time.

"Oh, by the way, we will also involve Murong Chuan in this matter. By then, even if the imperial concubine in the palace wants to protect him, the emperor will let him die."

"He won't be alive, don't worry!"

Jiang Zhinian was moved when he heard these words.

Murong Chuan was finally going to die, even though he was only hanging on for one breath, but as long as he was alive, Jiang Zhinian felt a surge of hatred in his heart and couldn't really relax completely.

She was always on guard.

There is also Su Wanruo hiding in the dark in southern Xinjiang.

Jiang Zhinian thought of Concubine Zhen in the palace and said, "When we checked Concubine Zhen before, wasn't everything fine?"

Leng Yuebai's eyes darkened, and he said solemnly, "Yes, there is no problem."

"But what Zhenfei did clearly showed that there was something wrong with her."

"We arranged for people to go to Sangye Town in Ningzhou to investigate. We took her portrait and conducted a secret investigation. Everyone said that she was the eldest daughter of the Sang family."

Jiang Zhinian took a sip of tea and thought carefully. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. "Do you think it could be a disguise technique?"

"It is also possible that Concubine Zhen was taken away to be trained as a spy when she was young."

Leng Yuebai said: "Our guesses alone can't do anything to Concubine Zhen."

"She does look a bit like my aunt, and that's why she's favored by the emperor."

"If my aunt knew, she would probably be disgusted."

"If you really loved my aunt, you wouldn't have allowed those women in the harem to harm my aunt, let alone taking a concubine into the harem."

Leng Yuebai didn't believe the emperor's infatuation at all.

"How dare you say such things outside."

Leng Yuebai said indifferently: "You are not someone else. My cousin said that I can trust you completely."

"Besides, if you wanted to harm me, you should have just not saved me in the first place."

Jiang Zhinian was speechless. "I'm saying don't say that in front of outsiders. Be careful not to be caught by others."

"I know. I'm not that careless."

"Oh, yes, there is another possibility. Why did the emperor value Concubine Zhen? It's because she has no relatives outside the emperor's family."

"Even though Zhen Fei was already a concubine, her father was still only the county magistrate of Sangye Town, and her eldest brother ran a caravan, which was very inconspicuous."

Jiang Zhinian asked, "Has the emperor never thought of promoting Concubine Zhen's family?"

"I thought about it, but Concubine Zhen refused."

"It is precisely because of this that the emperor dared to rekindle Concubine Zhen. He believed that Concubine Zhen would not pose any threat to him. When Concubine Zhen was involved in something, the emperor would let her do it."

Jiang Zhinian had a feeling that this Concubine Zhen was a spy.

And she is a more senior spy than Mrs. Wu.

"Have you arranged personnel in Ningzhou?"

"We have arranged it, but we didn't find anything unusual when we kept an eye on the Sang family, so we didn't dare to keep an eye on them too closely. If there really was a problem, it would easily alert the enemy."

At this moment, Jiang Zhinian even wanted to go to Ningzhou.

But the Crown Prince is still in Jiangzhou now, and she doesn't dare to go out casually. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs any help, she can still provide some help in the capital.

Of course she hoped the prince was okay.

She had already asked people to buy some farms, fields and shops in Ningzhou.

Because Ningzhou is adjacent to the Grand Canal, water and land transportation are very convenient.

The transportation is also convenient.

If she asked people to transport food directly from Ningzhou to Jiangzhou, it would be fast.
