Chapter 295 Stirring Up Trouble

Chapter 295 Stirring Up Trouble

She rubbed her eyes and watched the paragraphs again.

No!

Why was Cen Wan able to say such shocking things in such a relaxed tone?

Where did she get the nerve?!

Before the Brown Kingdom even attacked, she stirred up a civil war in the Great Yong Kingdom.

Zheng Xun wanted to pinch her philtrum, afraid that she might not be able to bear it and faint.

Although she admitted that the method was indeed simple, crude, and effective, it was just too crude!

If others find out, they'll probably be able to forcefully recall her. Let alone give her an official position, it would be good enough if they didn't imprison her!

Zheng Xun rubbed his forehead.

How long has she been in power? Cen Wan really believes her.

How could she possibly hide it?

Moreover, Cen Wan was a pawn that she herself pushed out to test the people in the court, and everyone knew that she had Zheng Xun's shadow in her.

She couldn't escape it even if she wanted to.

She could only try to find humor in her predicament and comfort herself: It's alright, I have good judgment. This Cen Wan is no ordinary schoolteacher. With such courage, she is clearly destined for great things.

Let her think about how to resolve this matter.

She faced two choices: first, let Cen Wan fend for herself; second, lend her a hand.

Zheng Xun liked subordinates who were both capable and obedient, but often it was impossible to have both.

A capable subordinate is destined not to be confined by rules and regulations.

She made up her mind not long after.

She would help Cen Wan this once and see how far she could go.

Zheng Xun chuckled.

Perhaps Cen Wan guessed that she would not let her off the hook, which is why she acted so recklessly.

Cen Wan's letter ended there, without a conclusion. She probably knew that Zheng Xun would lose interest after reading this part.

Zheng Xun gave a soft hum and opened the canopy.

On Cen Wan's side, things were in complete chaos.

In the distance, flames and cries continued unabated.

She was dressed in coarse cloth, her hair was tied up haphazardly, and her face, which usually looked very refined, was covered in dust, which made her look even more rugged.

At this moment, she was hiding in a deep mountain forest, with only a few people around her.

"Lord Cen? Are they really not coming looking for us?"

After all, Lord Cen was the mastermind behind everything. Those powerful figures weren't fools. Even if they didn't realize it at the time, they should have found out who was behind it later, right?

He was a local and originally didn't want to get involved with this Lord Cen.

However, Lord Cen lacked martial ethics. Knowing that he liked to skim small profits, he seized upon this weakness and threatened him to do favors.

He wasn't particularly bold, and his greed was only minor; he certainly didn't have the guts to plot against an official of the imperial court.

Moreover, he had heard that the capital city held this Lord Cen in high regard... If he really made a move, he was afraid he would be in deep trouble.

So he was forced to do things for her.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone. Most of the people helping Cen Wan these days were coerced or lured by her.

What they didn't expect was that Lord Cen was not only quick-witted, but also incredibly audacious.

Each of them had different tasks and didn't communicate much with each other.

It wasn't until the powerful clans of Anzhou started fighting that they realized what good deeds Lord Cen had done.

Having gotten involved in such a major event, it's too late for them to get off the ship now.

"Looking for us? What do you want with us? What's it to us?"

other people:……

How ridiculous! If you weren't involved in everything, you'd probably think he was completely innocent after hearing his self-righteous words.

Cen Wan spat out the tasteless grass root she had been chewing: "The powerful oppress the common people, and the even bigger powerful want to swallow up the weaker ones. Human desires are never satisfied, it has always been like this."

Perhaps out of boredom, she was willing to say a few more words.

She adjusted to a more comfortable position: "You are all locals from Anzhou, so you must have seen plenty of scenes like this before."

The others nodded in unison.

“They already had conflicts and a desire to take over others, and they had even acted on it. I just ‘accidentally’ brought things to the forefront. I’m completely innocent!”

Others: Although it sounds reasonable, why does the word "accidentally" sound so unbelievable?

Cen Wancai didn't care whether they believed it or not.

She continued, "So don't worry, they're busy dividing up the profits right now, they don't have time to settle accounts with me."

"Lord Cen, then why should we hide?"

Cen Wan grinned: "Because I feel the water isn't muddy enough yet."

She stirred up trouble, not to let them fight it out, but to let the incompetent powerful clans become a major cancer in Anzhou.

Her expression was serious: "Gentlemen, I, Cen, have come to Anzhou by imperial decree. I am not here for fame or fortune, nor to stir up trouble. My only purpose is to restore a clear sky to Anzhou."

Everyone stared at her in shock.

Cen Wan's tone was not strong; she was speaking such righteous words, yet it sounded like nothing more than an ordinary declaration.

"You have all heard the opera troupes perform. Every word of their lyrics is true. Outside Anzhou, there are no powerful families who seize land, nor are there people who have been reduced to pigs, dogs, cattle, and horses. Everyone farms for their own livelihood. Our Princess Yuanjia of Dayong is insightful and discerning, and she understands the will of Heaven and the people. Therefore, she has specially sent me here to save the people from suffering and to ensure that Anzhou can also be bathed in the Emperor's grace and the Princess's virtue."

Zheng Xun, who heard all of this with his own ears: ...

Although she did do a lot, this matter really had nothing to do with her.

Fortunately, she didn't open the celestial curtain in front of the emperor this time, otherwise she would have been quite embarrassed to steal credit from someone else right in front of him.

Even more shocked than she was the people around Cen Wan.

"Princess...? Isn't a princess a woman?"

Cen Wan glanced at the person who spoke: "Woman? So what if you're a woman? This isn't Anzhou. Even if you're a woman, as long as you have the ability, you can still make a name for yourself."

Some people gasped: "Has the outside world changed so fast?"

Cen Wan chuckled: "Haven't you heard such words before?"

The others were instantly speechless.

Actually, they had heard of it.

Anju is relatively isolated, but it is not to the point of being completely cut off from the outside world.

However, those words sounded like a fantasy, so no one took them to heart, and no one truly believed them.

"His Majesty has only recently ascended the throne. In the beginning, there were many restrictions both inside and outside the court. Later, there were consecutive years of famine. It was only through the concerted efforts of the court and the people that we were able to overcome the difficulties. Two years ago, even rats in the national treasury were unwilling to go. Our Crown Prince of Dayong was even wearing tattered underpants. Not long ago, the court recovered and sent me here. Rest assured, you are the people of Dayong, and the court has never forgotten you!"

Her words brought tears to the eyes of these people.

The reason they were chosen by Cen Wan was because they were not extremely wicked people.

Even when mistakes are made, it's often out of necessity.

That is why they wouldn't do anything desperate even when threatened.
