Chapter 899: Chapter 233: Chu Tian: Chen 94, How Could You Possibly See Through My Plan? (Part 2)

Chen Jie listened to this and pointed at the list of officials on the table, saying, ”These officials, although mostly born in Huangzhou Prefecture, were previously not valued. Now they’ve all been directly promoted, and many are from poor families.”

”Can’t you see?”

After hearing this, Jin Yanzi said, ”All of them are Magistrate Chu Tian’s people.”

Chen Jie then pointed at the list and said, ”Look at the positions these people promoted by Chu Tian are responsible for.”

Jin Yanzi looked and said, ”Salt Search Order, Iron Seeking Order, Tea Seeking Order, Horse Searching Order, Huangzhou Prefecture Warehouse Director...”

”Salt, iron, tea, horses, food!”

Jin Yanzi immediately understood, realizing that Chu Tian had gathered all the strategic resources and necessities of Huangzhou Prefecture—salt, iron, tea, horses, and food. With these combined, Huangzhou Prefecture was basically under his control.

What’s he planning to do?

Chen Jie furrowed his brows, while Jin Yanzi looked at Chen Jie and said, ”But what are we looking at this for now? Isn’t Chu Tian already dead?”

”Even if he replaced all officials with his own people, what can a dead man do?”

Jin Yanzi looked at Chen Jie, who said, ”Dead? Haha, sometimes a dead man can accomplish more than a living one.”

After he said this, Chen Jie said, ”Alright, we’ve figured it out, let’s go.”

Jin Yanzi looked at Chen Jie and asked, ”Where to?”

Chen Jie said, ”Of course, I’m going home to sleep. Look at the time, I’m so tired I can’t keep my eyes open.”

After hearing this, Jin Yanzi was stunned and looked at Chen Jie, saying, ”I haven’t found my husband. Why are you going home to sleep?”

Upon hearing this, Jie Wenyan said, ”Hey, that’s not right. Your husband’s missing, what does that have to do with me? Why can’t I go home and sleep?”

Jin Yanzi said, ”If you go home to sleep, what am I supposed to do?”

Chen Jie said, ”You too?”

Jin Yanzi glared at Chen Jie, who thought for a moment and said, ”Fine, why not come home and sleep with me?”

Jin Yanzi frowned, and Chen Jie said, ”If you don’t want to, forget it.”

Upon hearing this, Jin Yanzi said, ”Wait for me...”

Chen Jie ignored Jin Yanzi, who followed him to his newly bought mansion.

Chen Jie said, ”Go see if there’s any empty rooms. And keep it down a bit; both of my wives are pregnant.”

Upon hearing this, Jin Yanzi frowned and said, ”Pregnant? You actually have two wives?”

Chen Jie said, ”So what?”

Jin Yanzi said, ”Never mind, when will you help me find my husband?”

Chen Jie said, ”Don’t worry, have you considered why those two wanted to kidnap your husband?”

Jin Yanzi shook her head and said, ”I don’t know.”

Chen Jie said, ”They want to focus our attention on your husband so that we let our guard down and then they can covertly achieve their goal.”

Jin Yanzi said, ”What goal?”

Chen Jie said, ”I can’t say, I can’t say, if I say it, it won’t be effective.”

After saying this, Chen Jie said, ”Suit yourself.”

Immediately, Chen Jie found a room, went inside, and after a tiring day, he needed a good rest.

A quiet night passed and next morning.

Chen Jie woke up and then heard lively discussions outside. He rubbed his half-asleep eyes, looking puzzled. What’s going on?

While pondering, Chen Jie pushed open the door.

And Chen Jie saw Su Yunjin and Huang Wan’er warmly entertaining Jin Yanzi.

Jin Yanzi was taken by surprise.

Seeing Chen Jie come out, Jin Yanzi showed an awkward smile and said, ”Found out.”

Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin, who smiled, then looked at Huang Wan’er. Wan’er said jokingly to Chen Jie, ”Why didn’t you introduce the new sister to us? What number in line will I be?”

Chen Jie was amused and said, ”Two ladies, please don’t make it difficult for me.”

”This is Mrs. Jin, Lord Assistant Magistrate’s wife; she experienced a mishap at home last night, so she came to us for a night’s stay. It has nothing to do with me!”

Chen Jie hurriedly explained to the two women, fearing a misunderstanding.

The two looked at each other, and then Huang Wan’er suddenly burst into laughter, saying, ”I told you, this guy has the mind to steal but not the courage.”

Chen Jie immediately frowned and said, ”What was that? What’s this about the mind to steal? I’m already satisfied with my two wives, no space in my heart for anyone else.”

Su Yunjin laughed and said, ”Alright, madam, Sister Jin already explained to us. We neglected Sister Jin last night; how could we let her sleep in the woodshed? It’s a breach of hospitality.”

Chen Jie looked at Jin Yanzi and asked, ”You slept in the woodshed last night?”

Jin Yanzi said, ”No choice, you didn’t arrange a room for me, so I had to find a place to sleep myself.”

Chen Jie said, ”And you just now?”

Jin Yanzi said, ”Was just teasing to see if you fear your wives!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said with a bitter face, ”Heroine Jin, you scared me.”

Jin Yanzi said, ”I didn’t expect you to have such good fortune. Both sisters are stunning; you’re lucky to have them.”

Chen Jie didn’t say anything. At this time, Huang Wan’er said, ”Sister Jin, you finally spoke a fair word for me. Did you hear that? Being with you is a bargain!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said nothing but reached into his arms and said, ”Ladies, this is your Sister Jin’s treasure from her store, one for each of you.”

The two women heard this and saw Chen Jie hand over two boxes of rouge.

Jin Yanzi said, ”Haha, sisters, this rouge was made personally by elder sister with rouge insects. It’s top-level rouge powder, take a look.”

After hearing this, both took their rougie.

Su Yunjin’s was light red, while Wan’er’s was bright red.
