Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 912: Chapter 912 Decisive and Swift Action_1 Chapter 912: Chapter 912 Decisive and Swift Action_1 “Greetings to the Grand Emperor, greetings to the Crown Prince, Your Highness.”

The convoy stopped, and the crowds standing dropped to their knees to pay their respects, hundreds of voices speaking in unison, resonating loudly.

Gao Lian reached out to lift the curtain of the imperial carriage, revealing Yang Wenxiao’s face.

The imperial carriage was spacious, with thick blankets spread inside and a charcoal brazier for warmth. Yang Wenxiao was draped in a thick tiger skin blanket and even wore a tiger skin hat on his head.

It had been half a year since they had last seen him, and he showed no change. His eyes were as sharp as ever, his expression stern.

“Rise,” he said softly, lifting his hand slightly before standing up.

At this time, Crown Prince Yang Hao descended from the carriage behind him and hurried over to the imperial carriage, carefully supporting Yang Wenxiao as he alighted.

Today was overcast, a cold wind blowing. As soon as Yang Wenxiao left the carriage, he shivered from the chill.

Seeing this, Yang Hao quickly took a bearskin cloak from Gao Lian and draped it over him, “Grandpa Emperor, shall we go inside to talk?”

Yang Wenxiao gestured dismissively with a light wave of his hand, his gaze sweeping gently over the hundreds in front of him before finally settling on Yang Wang.

“Wang, you’re here too,” he said, his tone merely stating a fact.

Yang Wang hurried forward a few steps, smiling in response, “I came to visit Tutor Gu, little did I know Tutor Gu was trapped here, so I came over.”

“Well, that is indeed a coincidence,” smiled Yang Wenxiao, a hint of amusement on his face.

“Isn’t it just, after arriving, I discovered that a major incident had occurred here,” said Yang Wang, stressing the words “major incident” to underscore the gravity of the situation.

Yang Wenxiao nodded as he took a small hand warmer passed to him by Yang Hao, “Indeed quite significant, where specifically did it happen?”

“This way, Grandpa Emperor,” Yang Wang quickly stepped aside.

Yang Wenxiao took a step forward, saying, “Qiao Xiaomai, Tong Sanlang, follow.”

As soon as he said this, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang quickly stepped out of the crowd and followed behind Gao Lian.

“Come forward, I have something to ask you,” Yang Wenxiao commanded.

Upon hearing this, the couple hurried past Gao Lian to stand beside Yang Hao.

“Qiao Xiaomai, tell me about what happened that day,” said Yang Wenxiao.

“Yes. It was snowing that day; Xiaomai and I first went to Rooster Mountain to enjoy the snow. When we returned, we found that many students had arrived, they…” Qiao Xiaomai recounted the events of the day in detail. When she came to the part about using the livestock to trigger the mine, Yang Wenxiao’s eyebrows imperceptibly raised.

After she finished speaking, Yang Wenxiao asked, “So you mean to say, the entire courtyard only had that one explosive device?”

“That should be the case, Sanlang has been driving the livestock around the courtyard countless times over the past few days, with nothing amiss,” she replied.

“Then why was there gunpowder in the back courtyard?” asked Yang Wenxiao.

“To reply to the Grand Emperor, Xiaomai and I do not know when the gunpowder appeared. The hired hands of our house clean the back courtyard every day; they move around there and have never been blown up,” she answered.

“Regarding that day, there were a few hundred people setting up the banquet in the back courtyard. Although the gunpowder was buried near the wall, it didn’t explode until the banquet was over, and only a coachman was injured, truly by the grace of heaven. If the students had been harmed, Xiaomai and I would be in unforgivable trouble,” she added.

Yang Wenxiao gave her a brief glance, “You mean to imply that the explosive device was buried there on the night of the snowfall?”

“That’s what Xiaomai and I suspect,” she admitted.

“Who buried it?” asked Yang Wenxiao.

“That Xiaomai and I do not know. We only went to Prefecture City for a short while during the trial, and other than that, we have been staying honestly in Anping Village, living our simple lives. We are equally puzzled as to who might bear such a grudge against us,” she explained.

[The Grand Emperor was always very decisive in handling affairs.]
