Chapter 1103: Divine Illusion
Translator: Lonelytree
In these three days, Chen Shanbiao remembered Lin Yuelan’s words and paid attention to those suspicious people and suspicious things.
However, the strange thing was that he did not find anything unusual in these three days.
The people who came to do business were all old customers of the Gold Origin Auction House.
There were also clients who heard that the Li family and Chen family had misunderstood each other. The Li family even went to the prison personally to bring Chen Shaoye back. They came back to cooperate with the Gold Origin Auction House.
Merchants only had profits and no enemies.
Of course, Chen Shanbiao was happy to continue working with them.
During this period, no one came to cause trouble.
Chen Shanbiao thought for a while and decided to report to Lin Yuelan.
Lin Yuelan tapped the table lightly and muttered, ” Is there anything unusual?
Then, she asked Chen Shanbiao to leave. “Continue to pay attention, and don’t be careless!”
Chen Shanbiao replied respectfully, ” Yes!
After Chen Shanbiao left, Lin Yuelan muttered to herself, ” Could it be that Zhou Anping has already thought it through?
At this moment, in the capital
Ever since Jiang Zhennan and his fiancée left, the Nanyuan estate seemed to have become a hot topic among the royal family and the high-ranking officials in the capital.
The Nanyuan Manor had actually become a forbidden area in the capital!
Other than the people designated by Jiang Zhennan to work inside, no one was allowed to take a step inside!
Thus, this attracted the attention of the powerful people in the capital. They were certain that there must be an important secret behind the Nanyuan Manor. Otherwise, the current emperor would not be so old and muddle-headed to casually issue such an imperial edict.
Therefore, these people could not do it openly, so they wanted to do it secretly.
However, just like the secret guards sent by Yuwen Feiye and the others, they had yet to approach the Nanyuan Manor. They had either disappeared for no reason or were missing an arm or a leg. No one could find out what was going on.
In this way, the Nanyuan Manor became even more mysterious.
“How did this happen?” Zhou Zhenlin, the head of the Zhou family, found it unbelievable. “Wasn’t the Wen family in charge of this farm in the past? I haven’t heard of anything strange happening.”
Zhou Dehong nodded. ‘i That’s right. The only strange thing is that ever since Jiang Zhennan came back from somewhere and chased the Wen family and the people of the Duke’s estate out, he became the one in charge of the Nanyuan
Manor. He became very mysterious.”
He paused for a moment and thought for a moment before saying, I ‘ Father, what kind of secret do you think is in the estate that Jiang Zhennan would treat it so seriously? Could it be related to the private hoarding of weapons?”
Zhou Zhenlin’s old but shrewd eyes glared fiercely at his son and said sternly, Why don’t you use your brain? This time, the Emperor had personally issued a decree forbidding anyone from entering South Park. If Jiang Zhennan is really hoarding weapons in the estate, this is obviously a rebellion. His Majesty is not an old fool. Why would he issue such an imperial edict?”
However, Zhou Dehong had a different point of view. He said, ” But Father, don’t you think that His Majesty dotes on and trusts Jiang Zhennan too much? With the Emperor’s suspicious personality, he didn’t even trust the person beside him and his own son. He was even on guard against them, so why should he trust a general who was in charge of military power? One had
to know that a general who was in charge of military power definitely had
ambitions and desires that were no less than anyone else. I don’t believe that
Jiang Zhennan doesn’t want to sit in that position.
“Besides, Father, don’t you see Jiang Zhennan’s arrogant and condescending manner? He doesn’t even care about any of the concubines, princes, and royal relatives, but the Emperor allows Jiang Zhennan to do whatever he wants. Don’t you find it strange?
When Zhou Zhenlin heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly. There was a hint of fluctuation on his wrinkled face.
A moment later, he said, You suspect that the Emperor is being controlled by Jiang Zhennan?
Zhou Dehong shook his head and said, No, Father. It’s very likely that His Majesty was drugged by Jiang Zhennan. I heard that there’s a drug that can make people addicted and dependent on the person who drugged them.” Zhou Zhenlin asked suspiciously, ” There’s such a medicine?
Zhou Dehong nodded and said, ” That’s right! It was said that this medicine was a forbidden medicine from the Southern Border! It’s called Divine Illusion.”
Zhou Zhenlin pondered over this name and asked in puzzlement, ” Divine Illusion?
Zhou Dehong nodded. ” That’s right. After taking this medicine, he felt as happy as a god and was extremely excited! He had to take this medicine every day. If he didn’t take it for one day, he would feel as painful as tens of thousands of insects gnawing on the skin and fruits. It was said that even the strongest warriors in the south border couldn’t stand such pain! Therefore, to control a person, this drug is the best!”
After saying this, Zhou Dehong lowered his head. However, under his lowered head, his expression was a little smug, and a light flashed across his eyes.
Zhou Zhenlin tapped the table lightly with one hand. His eyes were slightly narrowed, but no expression could be seen on his old face. He muttered, ” Is there really such a medicine in this world? ‘
Zhou Dehong did not reply.
Because he knew that he didn’t need to reply.
A moment later, Zhou Zhenlin said to Zhou Dehong, ” Hong’er, send someone to the palace and let the Third Prince meet his grandfather!”
Zhou Dehong was delighted and immediately replied, ” Yes, Father! ”
“Miss, just now, the Old Masters were suspecting that the Emperor was controlled by the Great General. They even said that there was a drug called Divine Illusion!”
Zhou Wenya had bribed Zhou Zhenlin’s trusted aides, so some important information was easily obtained.
Zhou Wenya sat in her boudoir, embroidering a mandarin duck handkerchief.
When she heard Xiao Cui’s words, she asked in confusion, ” Divine Illusion? What kind of medicine was this? Why did grandfather and father suddenly mention this medicine?
Xiao Cui explained, ” Miss, I heard that this medicine is a type of medicine from the southern border. After taking it, you will feel as happy as a god. However, one will bear the pain of tens of thousands of insects gnawing on their skin or bones for a day without eating!’
When Zhou Wenya heard that, she rolled her eyes and asked, ” Did Grandfather send someone to call the Third Prince over?
Xiao Cui widened her eyes and asked curiously, Miss, how did you know? ‘
Zhou Wenya didn’t answer Xiao Cui. She stopped embroidering, and her eyes shone with determination. Then, she instructed Xiao Cui, i ‘ Get that person to think of a way to get the Divine Illusion!
Xiao Cui was very confused, but she still replied respectfully, ” Yes, Miss!
Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion
Ever since Zeng Yanli married into the Duke’s estate, she had caused a huge commotion.
A small quarrel every day and a big quarrel every two days.
Moreover, when Zeng Yanli quarreled, she would cause a huge ruckus regardless of whether it was a big or small matter.
On the day of their wedding, she had a big fight with Jiang Zhenye because of the grandson and woman of the Jiang family who suddenly appeared.
“Let me tell you, Jiang Zhenye, if you don’t send that b * tch and that b *stard away, I’ll kill them!”
Zeng Yanli, who was fat and had white and pink cheeks, put her hands on her hips and said angrily,
“Hmph, from the day of the wedding night, I’ve been sleeping in that b * tch’s room. Where do you put me, your first wife?”
Jiang Zhenye covered his swollen face and scolded angrily, ” You b * tch. If you dare to kill my son, I’ll kill your entire family. Don’t think that I’m afraid of you and that the Duke’s estate is afraid of the Minister of Revenue’s estate.”
Whether that woman died or not had nothing to do with him. However, his son was currently the only heir of the Jiang Clan, and it was very likely that he would be the only descendant of the Jiang Clan in the future. No matter what, he had to protect him because everything that he could obtain from the Duke’s estate was closely related to his son!
“You fickle woman, don’t think that just because you married me, you’re really my wife. Hmph, let me tell you, you’re not worthy!” The more Jiang Zhenye thought about it, the more unwilling he became. ” Why don’t you take a look at your pig-like appearance? Are you worthy of me? ‘
Zeng Yanli was also furious. She cursed, ” Ptui! If it wasn’t for the Emperor’s betrothal, do you think I would have taken a fancy to you? Why don’t you take a look at yourself? How can you compare to the Defender General? He is tall and burly, with a stalwart figure and an imposing manner. He is the Defender General and the heir to the Duke’s estate.
“What about you? You look like a weak chicken and only have the appearance of a little rabbit. In terms of status, other than the second son of the Duke of the Defender’s Public House, what else do you have? You have no power and no status. I’m the eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue. Why am I not worthy of you?
Zeng Yanli’s words hit the nail on the head. Jiang Zhenye was so angry that his face turned green and white.
He pointed at Zeng Yanli and was so angry that he could not speak. ” You…
You…”
When Wen Yujing heard the servant’s report, the young couple quarreled again.
Afraid that her son would suffer a loss, she rushed over. When she heard Zeng Yanli’s disdainful words to her son, she almost fainted from anger..
