My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"this……"

The princess looked up, staring incredulously at the woman in the white dress: "This was left behind by Jiang Xiaobai?"

"yes!"

The woman in the white dress nodded gently: "Jiang Xiaobai wrote this down himself and gave it to me yesterday in the royal garden!"

"Heh, I never expected he had such precognitive abilities!"

The princess smiled and then picked up the second piece of paper.

"This second one was given to me by Jiang Xiaobai while he was in jail!"

The woman in the white dress then spoke.

As the princess nodded, she began to examine the object closely, her eyes gradually widening until she finally couldn't help but gasp.

"This Jiang Xiaobai..."

The eldest princess pressed down the paper and said, "How dare you!"

As she spoke, the princess's expression turned serious. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "However, if we truly do as he wrote, there's no need to look for any more evidence!"

Li Bingzhang has already gone to investigate Zeng Lu.

But... whether Zeng Lu is willing to speak up, no one knows.

Since Jiang Jingxuan and Bei Yu dared to bring these things to the imperial court, they must have made preparations in advance.

Therefore, even if Li Xiang finds Zeng Lu, the other party may not recognize him.

But Jiang Xiaobai's method showed no intention of investigating slowly at all.

Simple, direct, and efficient.

This method... is a bit dangerous!

After a moment of contemplation, the princess raised her head and looked at the woman in the white dress: "Senior sister, do you dare to do as he wrote?"

"Furthermore, in the final moments, will Senior Sister prepare to act as the Sect Master of the Hidden Sword Sect, or... in her personal capacity?"

"Personal!"

The woman in the white dress said, "Helping the Jiang family this time is just to pay off a debt!"

"only……"

At this point, the woman in the white dress spoke again: "I...I'm worried Jiang Xiaobai might be serious!"

Ok?

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess's gaze returned to the two sheets of paper, and she finally sighed softly, "Indeed!"

"Now that you mention it, I'm a little worried too!"

That's right. Although Jiang Xiaobai's arrangements on paper are clearly written, some things are difficult to completely control once they actually begin.

Especially towards the end, a slight misstep could really escalate the situation!

After a moment's consideration, the eldest princess finally said, "Trust him!"

"This guy may be daring, but... he's not so reckless as to disregard everything!"

"Um!"

The woman in the white dress nodded slightly, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Senior Sister!"

Upon seeing this, the eldest princess couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to do it now?"

"yes!"

The woman in the white dress paused slightly: "Let's do it quickly, lest things get complicated!"

After saying that, the woman in the white dress did not linger and quickly left the room.

The eldest princess sat there alone, her gaze falling once again on the two pieces of paper, her expression still showing some shock.

"This Jiang Xiaobai is terrifying!"

The eldest princess spoke softly, "Hmph, I've been by this guy's side for so long, how come I didn't notice?!"

……

Before you know it, a day has passed.

As dusk fell, lights began to illuminate the Zhenbei Marquis's residence.

At this moment, Jiang Jingxuan sat in the main seat in the hall, holding a wine glass in his hand, with several empty wine pots placed beside him.

The rich aroma of wine permeated the entire lobby.

"hehe!"

Jiang Jingxuan drank another cup, his face showing admiration: "Tsk tsk, the wine brewed by my good nephew is indeed quite good!"

Several servants from the Marquis's residence, including Zhang Xinnian, watched silently.

Although they disliked Jiang Jingxuan, he now held the emperor's edict and had temporarily taken over the Marquis's residence, so they dared not openly rebel.

They could only curse and spit in the drinks behind people's backs!

There is no other way!

Seeing that the others were silent, Jiang Jingxuan didn't bother to pay attention and poured himself another cup.

At this moment, Jiang Jingxuan noticed something, looked up curiously, and said, "Hey, where did this foam come from in this drink?"

"Third Master, the wine is freshly brewed, so it's normal for it to have a lot of foam!"

Zhang Xinnian said, "And the more foam, the better the flavor!"

"Hmm, that makes sense!"

Jiang Jingxuan nodded and downed his drink in one gulp: "Indeed good wine. Next time, give me more with froth; I really love this flavor!"

"Yes, Third Master, next time we'll add more for you!"

Zhang Xinnian nodded emphatically.

"Um?"

Jiang Jingxuan was taken aback.

"Oh, just make more foam!"

Zhang Xinnian smiled.

Jiang Jingxuan nodded in satisfaction and was about to pour more wine when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the hall.

Immediately afterwards, an elderly figure slowly walked in.

This person was the old man who had always been by Helian Zhaoyue's side.

"You may all leave now!"

When Jiang Jingxuan saw the old man, his eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his hand and waved.

"yes!"

As Zhang Xinnian nodded, he glanced at the old man, then turned and left the hall with several servants beside him.

"Third Master!"

After the servants left, the old man turned his gaze to Jiang Jingxuan: "Although you have now officially taken over the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, taking over does not mean controlling it!"

"The princess means that she hopes Third Master... will take over the Zhenbei Marquis's military camp as soon as possible!"

"Only by successfully taking control of the barracks can you, Third Master, truly establish yourself!"

"after all……"

The old man paused slightly before continuing, "The Emperor of Great Hua also has designs on the Zhenbei Marquis's military camp!"

"If the Emperor of Great Hua gets there first, then forget about even touching the northern border; the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion... will probably be gone first!!"

Indeed, Jiang Jingxuan's smooth takeover of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion can be attributed to a confluence of favorable circumstances.

The Emperor of Dahua wanted to reform the Jiang family, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

Jiang Jingxuan's return conveniently provided the emperor with a reason to take action.

Now it remains to be seen whether Jiang Jingxuan can get what he needs before the emperor makes a final move!

Don't worry!

Jiang Jingxuan smiled faintly and drank the wine in his cup: "I am a member of the Jiang family, and I have already met more than thirty commanders from the Marquis's residence today!"

"Although there were some misunderstandings at first, they treated me quite respectfully after seeing His Majesty's edict!"

"Complete control of the barracks is only a matter of time!"

At this point, Jiang Jingxuan's smile slowly faded, and his gaze turned icy: "But the condition is that my dear brother must die!"

That's right. As long as Jiang Jingcheng is alive, the people of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion will never truly submit to him.

Especially the generals in the military camp.

These people have fought alongside Jiang Jingcheng for many years, and it won't be easy to get them to switch sides and join his ranks.

Jiang Jingxuan immediately raised his head and looked at the old man: "Have you made any arrangements for this matter?"

"nature!"

A smile appeared on the old man's face: "Lord Zhao, the Chief Justice of the Ministry of Justice, has made proper arrangements!"

"Those two, father and son, probably won't survive tonight!"

"That's good!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingxuan burst into hearty laughter again: "Once my good brother dies, no one in the entire Jiang family will be able to control me!"

As he spoke, Jiang Jingxuan poured himself another glass of wine: "I will personally go to the barracks first thing tomorrow morning!"

"good!"

The old man nodded in satisfaction, did not linger, and turned to leave the lobby.

Jiang Jingxuan sat there, looking at the wine glass in his hand, his smile growing wider and wider.

after……

The Great Hua Dynasty no longer had the Marquis of Zhenbei, but only Third Master Jiang!
