The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the sparse cicadas indicate that the summer is long gone, Jing Shilang went to the courtyard where he used to live, Yan Jiujiu followed Wu Ma to the wing room of the east side of the courtyard, not far from the main hall, only a corridor in the garden, but the crying on the road to the west of the main hall stopped abruptly here, she guessed that Wu Ma must be saving her from loving quiet, and it is an excellent position to sit in the north and face south.

Mother Wu opened the door, turned her head and said with a pleasant face: "This room was originally lived by the young master, but he saved you from loving tranquility, so he vacated this room and went to live in the West Garden of the main hall, and he could also interrogate Na Si at night.... Although the old slave is dazzled, his ears are not deaf, I am afraid that tonight's things will involve a lot, and the black thing is already understood by the little young master, but I am afraid that it is the black donkey's egg.... This thing hurt a lot of people at the beginning, and now it appears in the tea drink of commerce, if it is not for the accident at this time, I am afraid that in the future, Jingtai Commerce and Trade will be like the hornet's nest that has been stabbed, and the 'poison' is not only flowing around, but the people in the city will also be poisoned by it, and the foundation laid down by the old ancestors ......."

Yan Jiujiu glanced at Wu Ma, Wu Ma is the old man of the Jing family, and has the trust of Jing Shilang, I am afraid that no one knows better than her about the things of the past hundred years, after these words, Yan Jiujiu's expression became more and more solemn, she thought that someone had infiltrated Jingtai Commerce and Trade and wanted to kill her, but now her eyes suddenly opened up, and the hands of the people behind her were the Jing family's century-old family business...

Mother Wu looked at Yan Jiujiu's color and said softly: "Miss Cousin, the old slave lost his words...."

"Mother Wu, don't do this. Yan Jiujiu shook Wu's mother's hand, "You are a person trusted by my cousin, I don't doubt him, what you said is not unreasonable, but I was narrow-minded and never thought that at the level of the Jing family, I only thought that it was the one who ate the ambition of the leopard and wanted to make money and kill him, but he didn't save this great cause and made people jealous, cousin Wen Taowu is slightly top-notch, but I don't want to defend day and night but it is difficult to prevent thieves..."

Mother Wu patted the back of Yan Jiujiu's hand and felt very pleased.

Yan Jiujiu saved like this, Wu Ma must have been clear in her heart, and she stopped speaking at the moment, lest the wall have ears.

There was a rush of footsteps outside, like snow falling on pine needles in winter, and the branches could no longer bear it, only letting the snow fall in a flutter.

It was such a quiet sound, Yan Jiujiu heard it clearly, and after a while, the bamboo curtain was gently beaten, and a big girl with a pretty face came in to report: "Miss, someone from the city said that it was from the mansion, called Ah You, I am familiar with it and dare not bring it in rashly, so I hereby come to report." ”

Yan Jiujiu nodded, revealing a look of approval, "Although the temperament is lively like a rabbit, it is very stable, and it is worthy of being trained by Mother Wu!"

Mother Wu smiled and bowed her head.

"Then Ah is the deputy head of the Jin Mansion again, you invite him to the side hall to talk, and I will go in a while. ”

The eldest girl got the order and bowed her head and retreated.

The sound of fine footsteps was like the falling snow, Yan Jiujiu's heart became more and more peaceful and comfortable, she didn't have time to look at the layout of this room, and after looking at a few objects, she only felt that it was quiet and far-reaching, and took Wu's mother to the side hall.

She was not surprised in her heart, before coming to Zhuangzi, she called Chu Qing, A and sat at home, don't disturb the mother, and now A can get out to find her, most of it is related to the young lady of the Fucha clan, it is estimated that Xu is here but does not see the figure of the main master, thinking of the writing and testing of people, she can't help but wonder, is it really for this stubble to find her?

The tabloids that came back along the way, and there was Adin escort, she had already determined that it was the young lady of the Fucha clan, even if there was a traitor, it should be before entering the city, and now it is even more difficult to arrange it when entering the city.

Thinking about it, he walked into the side hall, and there was already a man waiting in the hall, and when the man heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was Yan Jiujiu, and he couldn't help but ask for a salute.

Yan Jiujiu nodded, sat in the hall, and Wu's mother and the eldest girl silently retreated.

Then she said, "But what happened at home?"

Ah arched his hand and said: "Miss rest assured, everything is fine at home, Madame only thought that you and the young master would come to Zhuangzi to play for a few days, and she was very happy about it." As soon as you left, the young lady of the Fucha clan arrived, and she didn't enter the door and said that she was looking for you to write and test people, or it didn't count, Ah Ding and Chu Qing couldn't do it, so they had to give Mrs., Mrs. took the token you handed over to her and matched the jade pendant of the Fucha clan, and said for a while that the Fucha clan and the emperor were in the southern and northern wars, and called Dewey Manor, and the young lady of the Fucha clan just entered the door, this time I am afraid that it has stopped, but Adin still asked me to go here to make the young lady's heart settle, and besides, Miss, you should go back as soon as possible! The young lady of the Fucha clan ....."

Yan Jiujiu was extremely happy, and took Ah You's hesitant words in his heart.

If she doesn't go back, she will definitely find Zhuangzi tomorrow.

"I know, tomorrow should be almost taken care of, you go back first in the evening, if Miss Fu hasn't gone to bed yet, you send a girl to tell her that she has been gifted to me overnight, and tomorrow I will go back to write with her and recognize people. ”

After Yan Jiujiu finished speaking, he ordered the eldest girl to lead Ah to get some food and then rest for a while, not missing this hour or three, and then go back with Jingfu's car.

She rubbed the celadon glaze, this Miss Fu is a wonderful person!

Maybe Ah came in a hurry, the movement here alarmed Jing Shilang, he sent Ah Chen over to ask if something happened, Yan Jiujiu was surprised by his sharpness but didn't expect him to be at the moment but not at the moment, she told Ah Chen about Miss Fu's arrival, but in her heart she was thinking about Miss Fu's expenses in Los Angeles, it must be top-notch, Jin Mansion was not reluctant to pay this money, but she had the heart to add something to Jing Shilang, and revealed a little meaning to take the big girl away.

Ah Chen just listened, he couldn't do these things, he just passed the word.

After Yan Jiujiu finished instructing, he said with a straight face: "Miss Biao, the young master said that the matter over there has been tried, and that black thing is only afraid of opium, this thing is really as the young master expected, and it is not used by these two people to make money, this thing is something that someone paid a high salary to smear them in the newly produced tea.....

Yan Jiujiu raised his hand to signal that he didn't need to say any more, "I'll go over and take a look!"

Ah Chen stepped forward and stopped: "That scene is very pickled, the young master said that the young lady is still quiet, don't let those who are traitors dirty the young lady's eyes....."

Yan Jiujiu suddenly crossed something bloody in front of her eyes, and she didn't think about it, but she knew that the fate of those two people must be miserable.

A hundred boards are not just as simple as opening the skin and flesh.....

She nodded, and then asked, "Can you tell who sent it?"

"Said to be from the city. ”

"People in the city?" Yan Jiujiu's heart was cold, and she suddenly thought that every time she entered the Jing Mansion, she looked at her like pins and needles.

Don't..... Is it really that ghosts are rampant?

Opium is indeed a foreign product, Yan Jiujiu had read it in the "Ming Huidian" when the sun never set, and this opium was originally a tribute from Siam and Bengal in order to curry favor with the emperors of the Ming and Ming dynasties.

At this time, she Jing Shilang and the two were already on the way back to the city, but the rain has not abated recently, and many low-lying areas are inevitably waterlogged, leading to the landslide next to Los Angeles Avenue, where it is not feasible, only to change to the road, even if the car is much safer than the carriage, but it is still difficult to escape the bumps of the road, but fortunately, although the road is rugged, but the distance is not far, Yan Jiujiu was swayed upside down, and the man on the side just closed his eyes and rested.

This pouring rain annihilated everything, and the sound of brushing and pulling all over the world Yan Jiujiu only felt exhausted, and the rain was isolated by the glass window to form a curtain of water, and the scenery outside the window blurred into a confused fog.

She was a little bored, and tentatively bumped into Jing Shilang, "Hey——!"

Say. Jing Shilang wrapped his arms, his eyes were still closed, and his expression was calm and he couldn't see any changes, but he was afraid that the word that he spit out gently seemed to be an illusion.

Yan Jiujiu saw him pretending to be asleep and said, "That opium.... Could it be that the Gu family made a plan?"

The phoenix's eyes opened slightly, and the stars implied.

"Gu family, how did you think of the Gu family?"

Yan Jiujiu sighed: "I knew that the Gu family had already been submissive to you, but at that time, my heart was like playing a drum, seven up and eight down.... That Gu Xinci looked at the kind eyebrows... You don't know what happened to me in the French Concession, and I will never believe it unless I experience it personally..."

I would never believe that a woman as soft as Gu Xinci would kill her, let alone believe that my brother took her name just for Gu Xinci....

Jing Shilang smiled slightly and said coldly: "Have you ever thought that Yan Changxu is not your brother..."

"Brother..."Yan Jiujiu exclaimed: "Impossible, I grew up with him since childhood, although I went to the country where the sun never sets, but I never..."

Jing Shilang took her words, "You've never found out that he's actually your brother?"

Never found out that he was...

"Haven't you ever thought about why he is your brother? You recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors in the country where the sun never sets, you are the Gege who loves Xinjueluo, but what about him? He was born to your former aunt and the boss of the Yan family's rice shop? This doesn't make sense at all! My aunt married Boss Yan after my uncle was banned from the country, and Boss Yan didn't marry or have illegitimate children before..... Have you ever thought about it - he may not be your biological brother at all, Yan Changxu and the three of you are not related by blood at all!"

"Brother.... Brother won't..."Yan Jiujiu didn't know that he was already crying at this time.

"You still can't accept this reality..."Jing Shilang touched her head regretfully, "Blame me for being too eager for you to see the truth..."

Yan Jiujiu couldn't cry anymore, she shook her head silently, but her tears were like broken glass beads that kept falling.

The crystal tears hit his hand and reflected the colorful streamers, and Jing Shilang sighed slightly.

But he said quietly: "If there is nothing wrong with the secret pile, Yan Changxu should be a member of the Gu family." ”

Yan Jiujiu only felt incredulous, "Impossible...."

"There is a period of secrecy in the Gu family, few people know that the current helmsman of the Gu family had a fairy-like love with Qingyun, a famous courtesan in the upper class of the French Concession, before he married his wife, but he was opposed by the Gu clan, Gu Ruiyuan was locked up in the ancestral hall of the clan for a whole year, it is said that after coming out, Miss Qingyun has died of illness, and even the body has been hastily cremated, dust to dust, dust to dust, dust to earth..... After that, Gu Ruiyuan married the current Mrs. Gu, and there is a daughter under his knees, which is Gu Xinci. ”

After speaking, he looked at Yan Jiujiu quietly, his amber pupils were like a cheetah waiting for an opportunity to observe, very keen.

Yan Jiujiu was inexplicably looked at by him, and only said after a while: "What do you mean... Brother, is it the illegitimate son of Miss Qingyun and Gu Ruiyuan?"

Jing Shilang's cold face was a little smiling, and Yan Jiujiu didn't know why.

"Really?"

She suddenly remembered Gu Xinci's eyes that night in the narrow alley as if they had been quenched with venom, at that time she thought that Gu Xinci was very annoyed by herself, but now that she thinks about it, maybe Gu Xinci hated not her....

"Gu Xinci knows, right?"

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to show such a smug smile when she made her brother say nothing to herself.

At this time, the car seemed to have crossed a big hurdle, Yan Jiujiu also bumped hard, her head almost hit the roof of the car, and then sat down to look at the road ahead, only to feel that there was a lot of light.

Jing Shilang asked her to do a good job, and said: "It is not unreasonable for you to say that the Gu family has something to do with this opium matter, the people of the Gu family have no virtue, they are mercenary, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and there are countless people who have died unjustly under the Gu family's death knife over the years, but they are meticulous and cunning, and the evidence they have now cannot deal a heavy blow to them, and the practice of this opium matter seems to be from the hands of the Gu family... It's just that after all, it's a hundred secrets.... You have to be more careful when we go back to Los Angeles this time when I'm not with you, I will send someone to follow you from time to time, the people of the Gu family are now spreading nets everywhere in Los Angeles, there must be some scheme, that opium is not a beauty, let alone explosives..."

Yan Jiujiu asked: "This matter has not been verified yet, wait for us to discuss it after Daoluo City, don't bother, you have been..."

Enough has been done!

Yan Jiujiu finally swallowed this sentence into her stomach, sometimes she didn't seem to be able to see through the man covered by clouds, sometimes the clouds opened to see the moon, sometimes the sun and the moon were chaotic, she couldn't think through and guess what he was thinking at this time, and she felt even more precariously uneasy.

"Opium is a foreign product, you should know, during the Ming Dynasty, those vassal states paid tribute to the emperor of the opium called Wuxiang, these things are not only addictive for a long time, but also poison people's hearts, the Ming Dynasty emperor called Wuxiang 'Fushou ointment', he was greedy for the pleasure of smoking opium, so he did not go to court for 30 years.... As time went on, the supply of this opium was in short supply, so he sent people to look for it, knowing that it was more expensive than gold! At that time, not only the royal family was tainted with the bad habit of smoking opium, but also the rich and noble merchants who were vassals and elegant followed suit..." )
