Chapter VI

"What? Zhang Cheng actually said to Jiang Sichu..."Mei Yan covered her mouth and looked at Jiang Linan halfway through speaking, and then stared at the person standing in front of her with a look of disbelief.

This person's name is Cheng Guangyi, who is the confidant of the old general's mansion and the deputy general of the dynasty. It was also when the old general returned from the war that he picked him up on the road without a father and mother and raised him by his side. The old general has always cultivated him as his own grandson, he is two years older than Jiang Liannan, who has regarded him as a big brother since he was a child.

But he was raised in Baifu since he was a child, and Jiang Linan grew up in Jiangfu since he was a child, and he could only play with Cheng Guangyi when he went to see his grandfather.

When he grew up, Cheng Guangyi was tall and elegant, and his appearance was dignified, and the old general often joked that he would marry Jiang Linan to Cheng Guangyi. It's just that the two juniors are not serious, and they still learn martial arts together, like brothers and sisters.

When the old general died, he happened to be fighting outside, and Jiang Liannan told him what had happened in the past year after learning that he had returned not long ago. Knowing that Jiang Liannan had become the mistress of Mu Mansion, he was very annoyed and thought that Mu Bai had forced her.

Jiang Liannan said lightly: "No, I am voluntary." Although I didn't marry my beloved, he gave me a home when I was in trouble. Let's take what we need!"

Jiang Linan briefly introduced her marriage to Mu Baiyi to Cheng Guangyi. Her acquaintance with Mu Baiyan can be summed up in one word: ancestor accumulation of virtue.

Rejected my grandfather and said that their ancestors of the Bai family had been kind to the ancestors of Mu Baiyan, and then the ancestors of the Mu family also gave the Bai family a spirit stone as a token, as long as the Bai family asked for the Mu family, the Mu family would help each other. But the ancestors of the Bai family didn't save people in return, the spirit stone has never been used, and the Bai family who stayed after a long time didn't know the use of the spirit stone.

And since then, the Bai family has had a smooth journey, both official and commercial. There is no place where spirit stones are needed.

But when it came to Jiang Linan's grandfather, the old general, Mu Baiyan found the old general, hoping to get the spirit stone back, but the promise to the Bai family would not change. I originally thought that this was just a legend of the ancestors, but I didn't expect that the Mu family would really come to me. Originally, this spirit stone was just an ornament in the Bai family, so he returned the spirit stone to Mu Baiyan. Mu Baiyan asked General Shi if he had any wishes that he needed him to complete, and General Shi said that he was also old and would die sooner or later, but the only thing he couldn't worry about was his daughter and granddaughter.

Mu Baiyan disappeared for a period of time after getting the spirit stone, but after coming back, the old general was plotted by someone and died tragically in prison, just after the old general died, Shi Qianling also died. He found Jiang Linan, who was kicked out of the house, and took her back to Mufu, and also married her in front of the grave of the old general.

Jiang Linan talked in detail about the death of his mother and grandfather, and he was kicked out by Jiang Fu.

In fact, she didn't know more details about the death of her mother and grandfather, she didn't pay attention to the affairs of the government, only that her grandfather was wrongfully imprisoned, and was assassinated in prison soon after.

After learning the news of her grandfather's death, her mother suddenly died violently.

And she was kicked out of Jiang's mansion by her father shortly after her mother's death, and when she was kicked out, she only heard her father say that she was not the biological daughter of the Jiang family, and her mother was stealing wild men outside.

Cheng Guangyi almost flipped the table in a fit of anger after hearing this, and scolded Jiang Feng for being old and confused, how could he believe that Jiang Linan was not her biological daughter.

Jiang Liannan told Cheng Guangyi what Aunt Mei told her, Jiang Liannan originally wanted him to send his subordinates to follow Zhang Cheng, but after hearing this, he volunteered to go himself. It happened that during this time, he had just returned to the court, and the saint remembered his recent hardships, so he promised him a leave of absence for more than a month.

Jiang Liannan led Cheng Guangyi in front of him to the stone bench of a pavilion in the backyard of Mufu: "Brother Yiyi sit, is there any movement in Jiang Mansion?"

Yiyi sounds a bit of a girl's name, because Cheng Guang has red lips and white teeth when he is an hour, and he is very thin, even if he is two years older than Jiang Xiannan, he is as tall as her, so she gives Cheng Guang a little nickname Xiao Yiyi.

When she grew up, she was criticized by Shi Qianling, saying that Guangyi was an elder brother, and it was okay to call him so when he was a child, and he wanted to be called a brother when he grew up, so she added a brother to Yiyi, and it became Yiyi brother. Jiang Liannan found that since he called Cheng Guangyi's brother, he spoiled himself more, so he changed from reluctance at the beginning to quite reluctance.

Cheng Guangyi sat down and continued: "No, after Zhang Cheng entered the house, he stayed in the room and did not come out, Jiang Sichu and the Jiang family talked for a while in the front hall and then returned to the wing. Didn't come out again. ”

Jiang Meiyan hurriedly stood up and said, "Jiang Sichu told the Jiang family about this?"

Cheng Guangyi: "I shouldn't have been, I'm afraid of getting too close to expose my whereabouts, so I haven't heard what they are talking about, but the Jiang family didn't show too intense emotions." After Jiang Sichu returned to the wing, he did not summon Zhang Cheng and Steward Zhang. ”

Jiang Meiyan sat down puzzled: "Why didn't Jiang Sichu tell the Jiang family about this? Could she be willing to suffer this dumb loss? Although the people of Lin'an City are open, this still has a great impact on a woman who has not left the cabinet. Miss, what do you think Jiang Sichu is thinking?"

Jiang Linan: "Maybe it's not that Jiang Sichu doesn't say it, but that he can't say it." I guess she probably knew that even if she said it, the Jiang family would not punish Steward Zhang and Zhang Cheng. ”

Jiang Meiyan frowned tightly, and grabbed the hair on her forehead with her hand: "Why? Could it be that the Jiang family will still protect the Zhang family's father and son?"

Cheng Guangyi continued: "Maybe there is a reason why you can't move." ”

Jiang Liannan: "Just like Aunt Mei said, Steward Zhang helped the Jiang family sit in Mrs. Jiang's position, and this reason for not being able to move may have something to do with the Jiang family's position of Jiang Fu." According to Aunt Mei, Steward Zhang was by her side when her mother died. So I suspect that my mother's death is inseparable from Steward Zhang. ”

After Jiang Linan finished speaking, Cheng Guangyi and Jiang Meiyan had a chill, Steward Zhang has been in Jiang Mansion since Jiang Linan was a child, although he is not very close to her, but Jiang Fengshu has always regarded him as a confidant, and he never thought that he would betray Jiang Fengshu and it was related to the death of Mrs. Bai.

Cheng Guangyi: "Nan'er, do you have a plan?"

Jiang Linan: "Well, I want to win Zhang Cheng over." ”

Cheng Guangyi thought for a moment: "Well, this plan is feasible!"

Jiang Linan: "Then the identity of my insider, I wrote a letter to Zhang Cheng, revealing that Jiang Sichu wanted to kill people and kill people." ”

Cheng Guangyi: "Okay, then I'll find a way to send it to Zhang Cheng." ”

Jiang Meiyan watched the two of them come and go and finalize the matter, and suddenly became anxious: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? Why did Zhang Cheng come to us?"

Jiang Liannan patted Cheng Guangyi's shoulder excitedly: "Brother Yiyi still understands me." ”

Cheng Guangyi explained to Jiang Meiyan: "Although Zhang Cheng slighted Jiang Sichu impulsively, it is impossible to say that he is not afraid, but he dares to do this, which means that he knows a little bit that Steward Zhang has the Jiang family in his hand and cannot move his handle." But Jiang Sichu will never suffer this dumb loss, so even if the Jiang family does not come forward, Jiang Sichu will not let Zhang Cheng go. Zhang Cheng is now blocking Jiang Sichu and does not dare to inform the third person of the matter. Suppose we wrote a letter to Zhang Cheng at this time and told him that pretending to be an insider revealed that Jiang Sichu wanted to kill people. At this time, let's throw an olive branch to Cheng Zhang, are we still afraid that he won't take the bait?"

Jiang Meiyan clapped her hands several times after hearing this, and kept saying, "You guys are amazing!"

Jiang Linan: "Before this, we also have to let Jiang Sichu really take action, so that it looks more realistic." ”

Cheng Guangyi thought for a while: "Then let Jiang Sichu think that Zhang Cheng has begun to be unscrupulous, and ask her to go out again." ”

Jiang Linan: "Okay, that's it." Miya helped me bring a few books and a pair of scissors. ”

Jiang Meiyan was still in the mystery of how to make Jiang Sichu act, and after hearing Jiang Linan's words, she looked at her with a puzzled face and asked, "Why didn't I understand?" And Miss, what do you want books and scissors for?"

Jiang Linan hooked his lips and smiled mysteriously and winked: "You'll know in a while." Go get it!"

After Jiang Meiyan left, Amber came over and saluted Jiang Linan and Cheng Guang: "Madam, Vice General Cheng, the lord said that Vice General Cheng is Madame's brother, it is better to stay for dinner when you come to the house for the first time, and I also want to have a good time with Vice General Cheng." ”

Jiang Liang turned his face to look at Cheng Guangyi: "Brother Yiyi?"

Cheng Guangyi smiled and said: "Mu Gongzi is also my brother-in-law, I was not around when Nan'er got married, and now that I am back, I naturally want to have a drink with my brother-in-law, so I will be respectful and obey." After speaking, he winked at Jiang Liannan.

After Amber left, Jiang Liannan held his forehead: "I originally wanted you to refuse him." ”

Cheng Guangyi was puzzled: "Why?

Jiang Liannan sighed: "We can't explain our affairs clearly for a while, but the two of us are not together because we like each other." ”

Cheng Guangyi was shocked: "Don't you like each other? Didn't you say that you wanted to find someone you love to marry?"

Jiang Liannan bit his lower lip: "Brother Yiyi, this matter is a long story, I will explain it to you later." Now I just want to find the murderer of my mother and grandfather. ”

Cheng Guangyi looked at this grown sister with pity: "Nan'er, no matter what I am, I am your brother, and you can rely on it."

Jiang Liannan looked at him with emotion: "Brother~~~"

After preparing the two letters, Amber came over and invited someone to the front hall for dinner.

When Cheng Guangyi and Jiang Liannan arrived, Mu Baiyan was already on the main seat. After seeing the two of them come in, he raised his eyelids and swept the two of them who were still talking and laughing, stood up and arched his hand, and said, "Brother Cheng." ”

Cheng Guangyi returned a salute: "Brother Mu." ”

Jiang Liannan watched the two of them come and go, not smiling, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed with a hint of amusement, maybe things have finally progressed, so he was in a good mood. Even looking at Mu Baiyan was a little pleasing to the eye: "Don't stand, Brother Yi sit." ”

Mu Baiyan saw her sitting next to Cheng Guangyi, cleared his throat and coughed twice: "Brother Cheng, please, don't be restrained, Nan'er's brother is my brother." ”

Jiang Liannan looked at Mu Baiyan unexpectedly: "..."Nan... South... Nan'er?Mu Baiyan's brain is a little watery, when did he call himself Nan'er.

Cheng Guangyi smiled: "Hey, I'm ashamed that when Nan'er got married, I was far away in Saiwai Town guarding the border pass, and I couldn't come to congratulate me, and I didn't prepare a congratulatory gift for this visit, so I'm really ashamed." ”

Mu Baiyan: "Brother Cheng is too worried, but I didn't think it through, I was too hasty when I married Nan'er, and I was able to inform Brother Cheng at the end." ”

Jiang Linan: "..."Goosebumps fell to the ground, Mu Baiyan definitely took the wrong medicine today."

Jiang Linan looked at the two people next to him who were "hypocritical": "Either let's eat first, or the dishes will be cold in a while." She really couldn't stand Mu Baiyan all the time Nan'er, Nan'er called her, if she didn't know that they didn't get married because they loved each other, she thought that this man loved her so much.

Cheng Guangyi touched her head and said with a doting face: "Okay, our Nan'er is hungry, let's eat first." ”

Mu Baiyan looked at Cheng Guangyi's movements, lowered his head and put a fish into Jiang Linan's bowl: "Eat more." ”

Jiang Linan: "..."Okay, it's good if you're happy."

After Mu Baiyan saw her eat the fish in the bowl, he took another piece of tofu and put it in her bowl: "You have lost weight recently, you need to make up for it more." ”

Cheng Guangyi smiled and glanced at Jiang Linan, as if to say: Didn't you say that the two of you weren't together because they loved each other?

Jiang Liannan winked at him with big smart eyes: I don't know what crazy he is.

Mu Baiyan interrupted their "divine consciousness exchange": "How long is Brother Cheng going to stay in Lin'an City?"

Cheng Guangyi withdrew his hand that was still on Jiang Linan's head: "Everything needs to be decided by the saint, and the border pass has been calm, but according to the spies, there have been many people in witchcraft in Tianming Kingdom recently." ”

Jiang Liannan: "Witchcraft?"

Mu Baiyan: "Witchcraft?"

Jiang Liannan and Mu Baiyan looked at each other.

Cheng Guangyi continued: "Yes, but I'm not sure what kind of witchcraft it is, it's no different from normal people on weekdays, but every full moon night, the person in this witchcraft is like a puppet, cutting it off with a knife on the body, but there is no blood flowing out." When I woke up the next day, I didn't remember the night before. There is not much information about this matter because there are so few people involved. ”

Mu Baiyan: "It's unheard of to have such a strange thing. ”

Cheng Guangyi: "Yes, it may be this reason, so the people of Tianming Kingdom have no intention of fighting." ”

Jiang Liannan asked the question she wanted to ask the most: "Then, will those people who are in witchcraft die?"

Cheng Guangyi shook his head: "At present, I haven't heard of anyone who died because of witchcraft. ”
