Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Chapter 226 The situation has changed

In the afternoon, Jiang Chen returned to his residence.

"Husband! You're back! Is everything okay?"

As soon as Jiang Chen entered the yard, Chen Yuanyuan and Du Ying rushed up.

Jiang Chen saw the worried looks of the two women and smiled faintly.

"Don't worry, ladies. I'm fine. Isn't this fine?"

Du Ying and Chen Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Jiang Chen's words.

However, the two women were still extremely worried when they looked at Jiang Chen.

The two women already knew about the incident that just happened in the store.

When they heard that Jiang Chen was taken to the government office, they were so anxious that tears came out.

If it weren't for the fact that both of them had special identities, they would have gone to the government office long ago!

"My dear, then...that County Magistrate Chen, did he not make things difficult for you?"

Chen Yuanyuan asked Jiang Chen with some concern.

"No."

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"However, it seems that County Magistrate Chen and Xue Wenyan have reached some kind of cooperation."

"The attitudes of these two people are very strange!"

"What a strange attitude?" Chen Yuanyuan was slightly startled when she heard that.

Jiang Chen did not hide anything and told Chen Guang and Xue Wenyan about their attitudes.

But after hearing Jiang Chen's story, Chen Yuanyuan frowned!

"Husband, this... is definitely not right!"

"Hmm? Yuanyuan, what do you think?" Jiang Chen asked hurriedly.

Ever since Chen Yuanyuan plotted to harm Xue Bin and Sun Yaozu last time, Jiang Chen has recognized Chen Yuanyuan's talents.

Maybe Chen Yuanyuan really saw something!

"My husband, please think about it. Let's not talk about the County Magistrate Chen Guang for now, let's talk about Xue Wenyan."

"In Xue Wenyan's opinion, it was Chen Guang who caused Xue Bin and Sun Yaozu to do that!"

"With Xue Wenyan's personality, how could he possibly cooperate with Chen Guang!"

"So, Xue Wenyan... must be plotting against Chen Guang!"

……

"this……!?"

After Jiang Chen heard this, his expression changed!

Xue Wenyan did tell him that he wanted to plot against Chen Guang, but he never told him how to do it specifically.

Could it be that Xue Wenyan has already started to take action! ?

Just when Jiang Chen was feeling puzzled, the old soldier in charge of guarding the gate walked in!

"Sir, someone has come to Lord Xue's residence. Please go over and see him!"

"okay, I get it!"

Jiang Chen nodded.

Then he looked at Chen Yuanyuan with a gloomy face: "Yuanyuan, what do you think Xue Wenyan wants to talk to me about?"

"Hehe~ Husband, it seems to me that Xue Wenyan wants you to join him in dealing with Chen Guang~"

"You'd better be careful and don't let him take advantage of you." Chen Yuanyuan smiled charmingly.

"okay, I get it!"

Jiang Chen nodded firmly, and then brought Old Wu and several other veterans to Xue Wenyan's residence.

After Jiang Chen entered the house, he was taken by the housekeeper to the study in the backyard.

"Nephew meets uncle!"

After seeing Xue Wenyan, Jiang Chen bowed respectfully to him.

"Well, nephew Jiang, there's no need to be so polite. Please sit down!" Xue Wenyan smiled faintly at Jiang Chen.

"Yes! Thank you, uncle!"

Jiang Chen heard Xue Wenyan's words and sat on a chair beside him.

After Jiang Chen sat down, Xue Wenyan finally spoke.

"Nephew Jiang, are you curious about why I got involved with Chen Guang?"

"This……"

Jiang Chen was slightly startled when he heard Xue Wenyan speak so directly.

But he still nodded and said, "Second Uncle, I... I am indeed very curious. Didn't you say that you wanted my nephew to help you deal with Xue Wenyan?"

"What's going on today...?"

……

"Haha, nephew Jiang, the situation has changed!" Xue Wenyan said with a faint smile.

"Has the situation changed?"

Jiang Chen was shocked!

What kind of situation could allow Xue Wenyan to let go of the matter of Xue Bin?

"Nephew Jiang, we in Dajing are fighting with the grassland, did you know that?" Xue Wenyan saw Jiang Chen's shock and asked lightly.

"This little nephew knows, could it be...something happened on the battlefield!?"

Jiang Chen was even more shocked when he heard Xue Wenyan's words!

You know, the one leading the troops to the battle this time is...his adoptive father, General Luo!

If something happens on the battlefield, then General Luo...

"Haha, there are indeed some situations on the battlefield!"

Xue Wenyan laughed coldly and said, "At the beginning, our Dajing army, led by General Luo and Marquis Jian'an, was unstoppable and was about to drive out those grassland Tartars!"

"But not long ago, the grassland Tartars suddenly began to increase their troops, and acted as if they were fighting to the death!"

"Now, the battle on the front line has entered a stalemate!"

"In such a stalemate, both sides are competing for logistics and supplies!"

"And this charcoal is also one of the supplies they desperately need!"

"After all, their weapons need repairing, and their bows and arrows are worn out and need making!"

"So... from now on, Dajing and the grassland will both be in great need of charcoal!"

"And this is our chance!"

Xue Wenyan said this with an excited look on his face!

Now both Dajing and the grassland need charcoal.

And their honeycomb charcoal is even more powerful than charcoal!

This time...won't they be able to make a fortune! ?

Although they have presented the honeycomb charcoal to Eunuch Zhang, it is only right that Eunuch Zhang eats the meat and they drink the soup!

……

"Uncle, do you mean... that we should mass-produce honeycomb charcoal and sell it to the imperial court?"

Jiang Chen looked at Xue Wenyan in shock.

He had long known that Xue Wenyan and Eunuch Zhang intended to sell the honeycomb charcoal to the imperial court.

After all, the imperial court was the biggest customer of the charcoal business.

But Dajing is in dire straits now. It’s not a good idea for them to make money from the national crisis, right?

But Xue Wenyan smiled faintly and said: "Haha, Jiang Chen, you're right. This is our chance to sell honeycomb charcoal to the court!"

"I'm sure Eunuch Zhang will take care of this!"

“Besides that, we still have a chance to get rid of the Sun family and Chen Guang!”

"Um!?"

Jiang Chen was shocked again when he heard this!

Xue Wenyan mentioned the Sun family and Chen Guang again. What...was he going to do?

But what Xue Wenyan said next shocked Jiang Chen!

"Jiang Chen, let me tell you that the Sun family, Chen Guang, and even many other county governors in Dajing are secretly colluding with the grassland!"

"The grassland is also in urgent need of charcoal now, they will definitely come to these people."

"As long as we can get a hold of them, the Sun family and Chen Guang will never escape our grasp!"

Xue Wenyan said this, his face turned cold!

Jiang Chen looked at Xue Wenyan and fell into deep thought.

He had previously thought of finding someone to pretend to be a grassland native to cheat the Sun family!

But I didn’t expect that the Sun family and Caoyuan were really in collusion!

If that's the case, wouldn't his plan be easier to implement?

Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of this!

"what!!!"

Just when Jiang Chen was secretly excited, a painful wail suddenly sounded from the backyard of the Xue family!

That voice sounded like a man's voice!

This……

Jiang Chen looked at Xue Wenyan with shock on his face...
