Night after sending Li Ke away, Jiang Chengzi went to find Yang Qingrang with a lantern.

Yang Qingrang studied with Cen Wenwen, and when he returned home every day, he would always record what he had learned, thought and felt during the day, and studied it repeatedly. At the same time, he also has to sort out the rules and regulations and progress of the Gewu Academy. As a result, he often forgot to sleep and eat.

Something terrible happened in Lanyuan, Jiang Chengzi left the big girl Abi in Lanyuan to reprimand everyone, while she took Dongmei lantern to Yang Qingrang's study.

Yang Qingrang lit the oil lamp and was writing hard, and when he saw his sister coming, he looked up from a pile of books and asked in surprise: "Ah Zhi, how long has it been?"

"Big brother, I have something to tell you. Jiang Chengzi said, and sat down in front of the desk on the side.

Yang Qingrang saw that his sister had a serious face, and came late at night, and suddenly felt that the matter was serious, so he hurriedly put down the pen, cleaned his hands in the basin next to him, and sat down on the side.

"What's the big deal?" Yang Qingrang asked.

"Big brother, do you think that since our sixth room entered Chang'an, it seems to be going well?" Jiang Chengzi asked.

Yang Qingrang nodded and said, "It's been almost a month since I entered Chang'an, except for the two maids you sent over there, there has never been anything in the six-room mansion." Compared with Jinyuan County and Hongnong, it is really very smooth. Why, but what's going on?"

"Big brother, there is a big event today, and I think I should talk to you. Jiang Chengzi said.

"Ah Zhi, say it quickly. Yang Qingrang urged.

Jiang Chengzi told Yang Qingrang about Xiao Lingling's gift, Wang Jingtian's admission of drugs, and the treatment plan given by Li Ke. When Yang Qingrang heard this, his face changed greatly, but he was also quite puzzled and said: "The methods used by the Xiao clan seem to be too low. Besides, what did the Shaw do to you? You didn't stand in their way. If we say that we have had a holiday with the Xiao family, except for dealing with the elders of the Xiao family on the side of the ancestral house, we are just old ladies. Could it be that the old lady can still die with a hundred-legged insect without stiffening?"

"It can't be her. Now, she is being monitored by the big house and has also cut off contact with the Xiao family. Jiang Chengzi said very firmly.

"What if Uncle Yi is just perfunctory to us?" Yang Qingrang said.

Jiang Chengzi shook his head and said, "The eldest uncle is not a fool, and even if the big house is confused. Hehe, the other rooms don't want to ruin their future. You see that the third aunt donated rice and noodles at that time, but she didn't give the old lady any face. Now that the old lady is in bed, the third aunt is estimated to be like an old cat staring at a mouse for the future of her children, staring at the boss. Therefore, the old lady categorically had no chance to turn over. ”

"Yes. Uncles and uncles have their own considerations, who wants the dignified Hongnong Yang family to be controlled by the Xiao family? Yang Qingrang also agreed with Jiang Chengzi's statement, but he was even more puzzled and puzzled.

"It's just that it's not the old lady, who is it? Could it be that the Xiao clan is avenging the elders?" Yang Qing let himself analyze, and he felt untenable, so he immediately denied: "This Xiao clan has been in business for a long time, and it will not be so reckless to take revenge." Probably not this. Then there is only one possibility left. ”

"Is the eldest brother talking about the concubine Xiao of the King of Shu?" Jiang Chengzi asked.

When she first learned that those things were poisonous, the first thing she thought of was the Xiao family of the Shu Mansion. The Xiao family has been jumping up and down recently, and if she enters the Shu Palace, it will inevitably threaten her status, so it seems logical that the Xiao family wants to use Xiao Lingling's hand to assassinate her. Moreover, the resentment between Hongnong Yang and Xiao gradually deepened. Last time in the Yang family's ancestral mansion, the elders of the Yang family put them together again. The Xiao family naturally doesn't want the declining Yang family to make a comeback, but now with the momentum of the Yang family's six rooms, the children of the Hongnong Yang family will surpass the Xiao family in the near future.

Then, it is logical for the Xiao family to deal with the Yang family's six rooms.

At first, Jiang Chengzi also thought so, but after Li Ke left, she reasoned back and forth. He put himself in Shaw's position again, thinking what if it was me?

Suddenly, she felt a chill. The Xiao family was included in a book today, involving the Xiao family's military power on Jiannan Road and Shannan Road. Although this matter seems to be still in a state of secrecy, Xiao Yu, as an important minister, has not been summoned to the Ganlu Hall to discuss matters, and the Xiao family will not be unconscious.

This time, the Xiao clan must be embattled on all sides, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they make a strong enemy again? Moreover, it is not a secret that Wang Jingtian, the eldest disciple of the divine doctor Shen Qianchou, is in the sixth room of the Yang family. Xiao must have known that poisoning the people in the Yang family's sixth room was really a ridiculous and stupid move.

Then, there are other people who poisoned her, and someone took advantage of the fact that Xiao wanted to deal with her.

Jiang Chengzi realized that someone was fishing in troubled waters and taking advantage of the chaos to seek benefits, and suddenly felt that the situation was grim, and she felt that it was necessary to gather the family together to analyze and analyze it, and give everyone a look at the alarm bell. However, her mother's double body is not suitable for work, Yang Ruyu is just a boudoir woman, and she is busy with her wedding dress, and her father is not at home for the sake of Gewuyuan. Nowadays, the only person who can negotiate is the eldest brother.

Therefore, she couldn't care about staying late at night and went to the study to discuss the matter with her eldest brother. When the eldest brother heard about this, his thinking was really the same as she was at the beginning, thinking that it was done by Concubine Xiao of the Shu Palace.

"Isn't it the Xiao family?" Yang Qingrang saw that his sister didn't agree, so he asked again.

Jiang Chengzi did not deny it, but said: "Although the Xiao family and the Yang family are both famous families and are inextricably linked, they have long been separated. After the incident of the ancestral house last time, the Xiao family and the Yang family tore their faces, and counted the grievances accumulated before, including the grievances of Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty. It is not surprising that if the Xiao clan wants to deal with the Yang clan, it will have to deal with people who may make the Yang clan rise again, such as our six rooms. ”

Yang Qingrang nodded, expressed his approval, and said: "It's not strange for the Xiao clan to deal with the Yang clan, it's just that their method is so simple and crude that it makes people feel incredible, and they chose such a knot. I heard that in the early dynasty, Dr. Wei handed over Gao Shilian, a servant in Yizhou, and sued the Jiannan Provincial Army. ”

"Big brother, you are very perceptive. I didn't think of it for a while, I just wanted to give Xiao Shi some color to see, and when I calmed down, I realized that something was wrong, and I was shocked into a cold sweat, so I didn't start to arrange to deal with Xiao Shi. Jiang Chengzi felt that Yang Qing was really smart about making this kid, so young, with a little bit of dialing and hinting, he analyzed it so tightly.

Yang Qingrang didn't feel comforted when he heard his sister say this, but felt guilty, and said apologetically: "Ah Zhi, as a brother, I am busy sorting out these case files every day, but I neglect to protect my family, and I also deceive myself that I am at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and now we are also important members of the imperial court, and the thieves have retreated." It was the eldest brother's negligence that made the younger sister suffer. ”

"Big brother, don't blame yourself. What you and your father are doing right now is what they are doing. These cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods will be handed over to my sister to deal with. I came to tell you this late at night, just to remind you: in this land of Chang'an, it seems to be calm, but in fact, the dark tide is turbulent. When you walk around the court, you have to be very cautious. Jiang Chengzi said.

"Ah Zhi, don't worry, I will be cautious in my words and deeds, and think twice before I act. Yang Qingrang made a guarantee.

Jiang Chengzi stretched out his hand to brighten the oil lamp a little, and then said: "Don't be nervous, big brother, just focus on your work, and I will do everything in the family." From this day forward, I will tell you everything in your heart, and you will know it in your heart, so that you will not fall into the way of a thief. ”

When Yang Qingrang heard this, his heart was indescribably sour: other people's sisters are all funeral flowers, feasts, embroidery, singing and dancing, and laughing to their heart's content, while their own sisters have to shoulder the responsibility of guarding the house.

"Ah Zhi, I don't know for my brother-" Yang Qing choked his voice.

"Big brother, our family has gone through the wind and rain, don't say anything else. This is my business, after all, I also understand: the six rooms are prosperous, and I Yang Minzhi will have a good life. Jiang Chengzi said.

"Hey, Ah Zhi, you are always full of truth when you speak, and the eldest brother can't find the words to refute it. Yang Qingrang smiled helplessly, this sister is too smart.

Jiang Chengzi laughed and said, "Of course, I'm smart." ”

"You, be reserved. Yang Qingrang also relaxed.

Jiang Chengzi laughed for a while, then became serious again and said, "Big brother, let's get down to business." I think that the Xiao family must be inseparable from this matter, but there are still people who fish in troubled waters. ”

"What is the purpose?" Yang Qingrang asked directly.

Jiang Chengzi shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific purpose yet. But as soon as this incident comes out, at least the thieves can achieve the following goals: 1. Let the forces related to the Yang family's six rooms deal with the embattled Xiao family, and fall into the well for the Xiao family, and beat the Xiao family to the point that they can't turn over; 2. They use this opportunity to test the true depth of the Yang family's six rooms and even the king of Shu; 3. If they can deal with the Hongnong Yang family, even if it is just a piece of skin, it can be. ”

"It's really sinister. Yang Qingrang said angrily.

"Big brother, don't be angry about such things. You do your own thing, I have asked people to start investigating, and I will go to say hello to the King of Shu and my righteous brother early in the morning. Jiang Chengzi said.

Yang Qingrang sighed and said, "It's all about bothering my sister again." ”

"To be your sister is to protect you, just as you have always guarded me. Jiang Chengzi stood up with a smile.

"Ah Zhi—" Yang Qingrang only felt that his nose was sour, and he couldn't speak.

Jiang Chengzi helped him turn the oil lamp brighter again, then put on a big hat, and said, "Big brother, it's late at night, let's talk about this matter, my brother and sister will say goodbye first." ”

Yang Qingrang nodded, and sent Jiang Chengzi to the gate of the courtyard, he wanted to say a lot of things, but he didn't know what to say, and when it came to separation, he only said one sentence: "Ah Zhi, be careful in everything." ”

Jiang Chengzi and Dongmei carried a lantern alone, and when they heard Yang Qingrang shouting "Be careful in everything", she looked back and saw the young man with a frown frowning frowning standing against the door, with a worried face. She waved at him and smiled comfortingly, "Don't worry, I'm smart." ”

Her voice was crisp, with a slight coquettishness, and Yang Qingrang, who was worried, only felt that a brilliant light was shining from her in this hazy moonlit night. He didn't answer, he only secretly blamed himself for being useless, looked at his sister's distant back, and secretly vowed: You must work hard to protect your family for a lifetime.
