Chapter 427: You are a beautiful woman, but you are a thief
Miss Xuanxuan looked at Jiang Chen and smiled charmingly.
She was not surprised that Jiang Chen knew her identity. After all, she had expected all this.
She was just surprised now, but Jiang Chen actually saw through her tricks.
"Haha, Saint, you are too kind. If I don't have this ability, how can I be your enemy?" Jiang Chen said with a faint smile.
"Hehe~ Lord Jiang, do we have to be enemies?"
"Can't we be friends?" Miss Xuanxuan said charmingly.
"Become friends?"
Jiang Chen shook his head and laughed.
"Miss Xuanxuan, if you were still the Oiran, I might become friends with you."
"But now, I am an official appointed by the court, and you are a thief. How can we be friends?"
"Lord Jiang, you are not so superficial, are you~?"
Miss Xuanxuan said with a charming look on her face: "The court is in chaos now, and a tyrant is in power. I don't know how many knowledgeable people want to change the world."
"Could it be that Lord Jiang...hasn't he ever thought about this?"
"Lord Jiang, don't forget that you also come from a poor family!"
"Naturally, Jiang dare not forget his origins, but... can your Holy Mother Church really be a good partner?" Jiang Chen laughed coldly.
"Lord Jiang, what do you mean?"
When Miss Xuanxuan heard Jiang Chen say this, her eyes suddenly became cold!
"Haha, Miss Xuanxuan, it's not that I look down on the Holy Mother Church, it's just that what you did was too low-class and too bad."
"Besides deceiving the people, what else can you do?"
"You keep saying you are doing this for the good of the people, but now that the people are suffering from a great disaster, you are taking advantage of the chaos to incite them to rebel."
“Is this how you care for your people?”
"I beg to differ!"
Jiang Chen smiled coldly, and his eyes showed even more disdain!
……
"you!?"
When Miss Xuanxuan heard what Jiang Chen said, she became so angry that her face turned pale!
But she couldn't refute it!
Because that’s what they do in the Virgin Mary Church!
"Haha, Miss Xuanxuan, if your Holy Mother Church is really capable, then stop playing tricks!"
"Be nicer to the people, maybe it will work!"
"To fool the people like this is not what a gentleman should be!"
"you!?"
When Miss Xuanxuan heard what Jiang Chen said, she was so angry that her whole body trembled!
"Miss Xuanxuan, is there anything else you want to talk to me about today?"
"If not, then I'm leaving!"
Jiang Chen said this and stood up to leave.
But Miss Xuanxuan called him!
"stop!"
"Oh?"
"Miss Xuanxuan, is there anything else?"
Jiang Chen turned around and looked at Miss Xuanxuan with a smile on his face.
At this moment, Miss Xuanxuan no longer had the calmness she had just shown, but instead had an extremely ugly look on her face!
"Jiang Chen, do you really think you are so powerful!?"
"Do you think that Jiangnan will be able to provide disaster relief successfully just because you are here?!"
"Those grain merchants are driving up prices. If you have the ability, go and take care of them!"
"If you can't do it, even if you come with a million silver coins, you can't save Jiangnan!!!"
Miss Xuanxuan said this angrily.
But Jiang Chen still kept smiling.
He slowly approached Miss Xuanxuan and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you angry out of shame?"
"you!?"
When Miss Xuanxuan heard this, her face turned even redder!
"Haha, Saint, how about we make a bet?" Jiang Chen said with a faint smile.
"What bet!?"
Miss Xuanxuan asked through gritting her teeth.
……
"Haha, it's very simple, Miss Xuanxuan, if I, Jiang Chen, solve the disaster in Jiangnan, I want you, the Holy Mother Church, to leave Jiangnan and stop causing trouble in Jiangnan!"
"On the contrary, if I, Jiang Chen, can't do it, I can agree to one condition from your Holy Mother Church!"
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.
"Is it possible for you to join the Holy Mother Church? " Miss Xuanxuan asked coldly.
"No problem!" Jiang Chen agreed without hesitation.
"Okay! Then it's a deal!"
"I hope Lord Jiang won't let me down!" Miss Xuanxuan said coldly.
She just didn't believe that Jiang Chen could solve the problems that her Holy Mother Church had never been able to solve!
She doesn't believe it!
If Jiang Chen really has that ability, what does it matter if the Holy Mother leaves?!
But just after Miss Xuanxuan agreed, Jiang Chen suddenly sighed.
"You...what do you mean? Are you going to regret it?" Miss Xuanxuan asked nervously when she saw Jiang Chen like this.
"Haha, I, Jiang, will never regret it!"
"It's just that I think it's a pity!"
Jiang Chen looked at Miss Xuanxuan and said with a look of regret: "You are such a beautiful woman, why do you become a thief?"
"You...what did you say?"
When Miss Xuanxuan heard Jiang Chen's words, her heart felt as if it had been hit by a sharp arrow!
But Jiang Chen didn't say anything else.
He turned and walked downstairs.
At the same time, he walked and talked.
"Miss Xuanxuan, don't forget our agreement. I hope you can be the leader of the Holy Mother Church!"
When the words fell, Jiang Chen had already reached the first floor.
Miss Xuanxuan watched Jiang Chen's figure gradually walk away.
Her mood gradually calmed down.
But when the situation calmed down, the saint discovered something was wrong.
She...seems to have been tricked by Jiang Chen!
She, the Saint of the Holy Mother Church, was actually led by Jiang Chen by the nose! ?
This is wrong!
She was the one who asked Jiang Chen to come today to control him!
This……
……
The more Miss Xuanxuan thought about it, the angrier she became.
She felt that Jiang Chen was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with!
However, with the bet with Jiang Chen, she is not afraid of anything!
She just didn't believe that Jiang Chen could get grain merchants to produce grain at low prices!
Two days later, a caravan suddenly arrived in Jinling County!
This caravan, with countless guards, looks very impressive at first glance!
Moreover, the caravan was carrying large cartloads of food!
Now that this caravan has appeared, all the noble families in Jinling County are in a panic!
The head of the Lu family hurriedly called Lu Xiu!
"Have you found out!? Whose caravan is it!?"
"Father, I have already found out that it is the Lu family's caravan!"
"It is said that the Lu family's young master Lu Ling is leading the team personally!"
"They brought a total of 20,000 shi of grain!"
Lucius said with a serious expression.
"Twenty thousand koku!?"
The head of the Lu family was also shocked!
This is not a small amount!
"Father, it is said that Jiang Chen saved Mr. Lu's life when he was in Luzhou County. If the food of the Lu family was transported to Jiang Chen..."
"impossible!"
Faced with Lu Xiu’s guess, the head of the Lu family directly denied it!
"why?"
Seeing his father so determined, Lucius couldn't help but look puzzled.
"Then Mr. Lu is not a fool."
"Aristocratic families are tied together. If he sells out the interests of the aristocratic families to help outsiders, how will he survive in the future?" said the head of the Lu family with confidence.
"This... does make some sense."
"But……"
Lucius was still a little worried.
"No need to but, go give the invitation to Lu Ling, I want to meet him!"
Patriarch Lu said coldly.
"Yes! I obey your command!" Lucius did not dare to hesitate and hurried out to deliver the invitation.
After Lu Xiu left, the eyes of the head of the Lu family gradually became gloomy!
He has been planning this situation in Jiangnan for a long time!
There must be no accidents!
Even if the Lu family came, it wouldn’t work!
