This question really bothered Jiang Mingxuan for a long time, but Jiang Shanshan was not in a hurry and just waited for his answer.
Jiang Mingxuan, who was slowly wiping his hair, began to think seriously. After a while, he said: "If Liu Yang has anyone close to him, we can investigate carefully, but I think he can also think of anything we can think of."
Jiang Shanshan nodded, good.
"Perhaps, the most unlikely place is the most possible place."
"Um?"
"As a general in front of the imperial court, Liu Yang often walks around the palace and has many opportunities to come into contact with secrets. Even if he got something like a defense map, he would not dare to take it out and put it on his person."
"You mean it might still be in the palace?"
Jiang Mingxuan frowned, "It's just possible. After all, sister said that the defense map has not been found yet. Since the most difficult place to think of is not there, what about the most unlikely place?"
He actually didn't have much certainty, it was just a guess.
Perhaps, Liu Yang's defense plan was not taken outside the palace at all, after all, no matter how hidden it was, there would be clues left behind.
But what if it’s in the palace?
Even if those people wanted to, who would dare to break in and investigate?
As for the defense plan hidden in Liu Yang's hand, the emperor and others did not know about it at the time.
Then the best hiding place is not on your own body, let alone at home, but in the most heavily guarded palace!
Jiang Shanshan looked at her brother in surprise. She knew that his brother had a good mind. After what he said, it was indeed very possible.
"You're right, it's true." Jiang Shanshan nodded in agreement.
Jiang Mingxuan also breathed a sigh of relief. He was still a little shy when he saw his sister looking at him with admiration.
He didn't ask why she came to ask him, nor did he dwell on Gu Yuan's role in it.
However, when he thought about the Ministry of War that his sister had mentioned, he felt that they were just a bunch of losers.
If things like defense plans can be leaked, is it still necessary for the Ministry of War to exist?
How many people in the entire DPRK are involved?
Shaking his head, he stopped his thoughts, it was not something he should think about.
Seeing Jiang Shanshan lower his head and write something again, he couldn't help but glance at it twice. Seeing that they were all names, he stopped exploring.
After leaving, Jiang Shanshan continued to work at the table until late at night, until his mother urged him several times before going to bed to rest.
The next day, Gu Yuan came over to see Jiang Shanshan. Hearing that Jiang Shanshan was still awake, he couldn't help but darken his face.
"I was messing with something again last night. Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on it and get some rest early?"
"After you left, the girl called Master Mingxuan to come over and talk, and my servant couldn't stop him!"
Mom said with a bitter face.
Gu Yuan shook his head and left first, only to come back after finishing the business.
Jiang Shanshan didn't expect that she would sleep until noon again. If Taohong hadn't been fiddling with her abacus, she probably wouldn't have wanted to wake up.
Thinking of what she had sorted out last night, she immediately got up and asked about it. When she learned that Gu Yuan was not there, she had to wait until he came back.
Taohong raised her head from her abacus and looked at the person lying lazily on the couch again. She curled her lips and said, "We can't live without each other. If we really don't see each other for a few days, will it feel like three autumns apart?"
"How is that possible?" Jiang Shanshan shook his head, "It's just like three months at most. It's not that exaggerated."
Taohong choked.
What else could she say?
"By the way, can I pay this month's monthly payment in advance?"
"Why, do you still need money for something? The government doesn't have anything, so just report it yourself."
Taohong hesitated and said, "I just need... to offer some sacrifices to an elder of mine."
Jiang Shanshan paused and waved his hand.
She knew that Taohong was not a child of the Jiang family. She had a family before coming to the Jiang family, but her relatives had died, and she had never thought of leaving them in these years.
"If you want to go out, just ask for a ride."
"good."
Taohong's voice became cheerful.
Listening to her rustlingly clearing up her plans, she soon opened the door and left. Only then did Jiang Shanshan turn over and look towards the door.
The footsteps were far away. She seemed to have thought of something and curled her lips.
The little girl really thought she couldn't see it.
After leaving the house, Taohong didn't use her car. She walked to the street and went to a shop selling sesame cakes.
After waiting for a long time, I saw someone who was late.
I saw a middle-aged man wearing a straw hat and one arm put down the firewood on his shoulder and handed it to the shopkeeper in exchange for more than ten cents, and then looked at Taohong.
"How did you come?"
Taohong pursed her lips and left with him, but she, who had always been a sharp-tongued person, had no intention of saying anything.
"I paid some monthly money in advance, you can use it back."
As she said that, she handed him the money bag. It was bulging inside, and it looked like she had saved a lot.
Seeing this, the man didn't answer, "Just keep it! Follow them carefully, and don't come to me if anything happens in the future."
"What are you afraid of? Now that we have left the Jiang family, who will keep an eye on us?"
The man looked at her disapprovingly, and Taohong turned her face away. If she didn't want it, she wouldn't want it. She would keep the flowers for herself and not give him any, and she would starve them to death.
"Go back! There are so many people in the capital, and it's even more inconvenient for you to see me now."
"Uncle Ze, don't you want to meet them too?"
"It's gone, as long as they live well."
After the man finished speaking, he strode away. Seeing this, Taohong chased after him and put the money bag into his hand.
"You don't need it, and Uncle Xun needs it too. His life is hanging on by medicine!"
After saying that, regardless of whether he agreed or not, he turned around and ran away.
When the man tried to chase him again, he had disappeared.
"Damn girl, you still run so fast." He sighed. On a hot summer day, sweat dripped into his eyes, which made him feel stinging and sore.
This is even more true in Beijing!
…
In the room, her mother reported to Jiang Shanshan, who was dozing on the couch: "Girl, Taohong is back and she seems to have bought some food."
Jiang Shanshan opened his seemingly hazy eyes and smiled, "This girl has always been greedy. Let's increase her monthly salary later! In case it's not enough for her to go out and steal food."
When my mother heard this, she also laughed.
Although this girl Taohong doesn't have any rules, she is straightforward and loyal.
In addition, she has been following the brothers and sisters through hardships, so she is a little more indulgent.
On weekdays, most of the work that was assigned to her was done by the little maid. If she liked money, she would be asked to take care of the warehouse, calculating and seeing what was enough every day.
Jiang Shanshan curled his lips and did not dwell too much on this matter.
Especially when Gu Yuan arrived, she quickly told him what Jiang Mingxuan said last night.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally took out the name she had deleted, deleted, and written.
I don’t remember everything in the dream clearly, that’s all.
She had only heard in her dream that her brother had killed so and so.
Or someone has done something wrong again.
"I remembered that these people may have some connections. The defense plan was leaked. It's hard to say what these people did."
Gu Yuan looked at the names on the paper, some he knew and some he had never heard of.
"Where did you hear this?"
"Do you believe me when I tell you about the Jiang family?" Jiang Shanshan said seriously.
Gu Yuan: "..."
Do you think he should believe it?
