Xiao Jingyao cleared his throat, drank a glass of water and said word by word: "My people went to the frontier, inquired carefully for a few days, and found the accomplices in the barracks, according to him, on the third day after the accident of the Ning family, General Ning Xiao suddenly disappeared, and was not captured by the enemy, but the court issued a secret decree, if anyone tells this matter, he will be punished by the nine clans, and all the soldiers guarding the frontier cannot return to Beijing for fifteen years." ”

"Why do you want to do this?" Gu Xiangyi was a little surprised, thinking that Cao Xin was really vicious.

The soldiers who shed their blood for him were thrown on the frontier like this, just because they knew that Ning Shu was not captured by the enemy, in order to prevent the matter from being transmitted back to Beijing, so they trapped all the soldiers in the frontier for fifteen years, and only after the matter was slowly depressed could they come back.

Some people are just getting married, and their wives are afraid that they will have to be widowed for more than ten years, and some people still have old mothers and old fathers to take care of at home.

Xiao Jingyao also thought so: "General Ning Xiao was not captured and killed by the enemy, but the emperor threw out such a fake news, probably to confuse the public, so it is very likely that General Ning Xiao is not dead, or the emperor mistakenly thinks he is dead." ”

"Brother is not dead?" Gu Xiangyi's eyes widened.

Although she thought so in her heart, it was still a little surprising to hear others say their thoughts in person.

"Because my people later found out that the subordinates of the prince of Jingde Mansion once went to the border to bring back a farmer, and someone carefully described the figure of the farmer, I heard a little similar to the little general, plus the prince of Jingde and the little general have always been good, is it possible that the Yi family saved the little general?"

Gu Xiangyi shook his head without thinking about it.

"The Yi family won't do that, just the Fang family, who is as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, if he really knows that his brother is in the mansion, he won't do everything possible to make meritorious contributions to the emperor? I'm afraid that I don't know how my brother died at that time, I think if the Yi family really intervenes, it can only be Yi Jingxiao." ”

Besides, he knew very well what kind of person Fang Yuchun was, he didn't dare to risk Ning Shu, so he couldn't let Fang Yuchun and anyone in the Yi family know where Ning Shu was, if he was really rescued, he would definitely not hide in the Jingde Mansion.

But how did he save it?

Xiao Jingyao couldn't find it, just a few short sentences, he couldn't remember how many days he had checked it in total. Yi Jingxiao is not badly connected, and he is serious and careful, there is almost nothing left behind and evidence, and if you want to check his affairs, I am afraid that how many connections in his hands are not enough.

Thinking of the figure he saw that night, Gu Xiangyi's heart went up and down, and he was very excited.

But when Xiao Jingyao was about to go back the way he came, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and Qiu Tang came in with new charcoal and looked at Xiao Jingyao at a glance.

The scene was awkward for a while.

Xiao Jingyao was extremely uncomfortable, and he felt like he had been caught cheating, and Pomegranate was the same, so frightened that he pulled the curtain and blocked Xiao Jingyao's face, only Gu Xiangyi was calm.

"Brother Xiao, let's go. ”

"Here... Are you okay?" Xiao Jingyao was afraid that Gu Xiangyi would be affected by her.

"It's okay, my own maid, it would be bad if I couldn't take care of it. ”

The cold wind blew into the house again, and the man's breath slowly disappeared, leaving only the three masters and servants in the house. Gu Xiangyi looked at Qiu Tang, her eyes were like a cold snake, and she looked her up and down carefully.

Qiu Tang shuddered and explained, "The slave didn't see anything! The slave just came to add charcoal to the girl!"

Gu Xiangyi nodded knowingly: "It was my negligence that I forgot to lock the door." ”

Pomegranate almost laughed, how could she feel that her own girl didn't care about this matter at all? But in fact, she still wanted to stubble, Gu Xiangyi cared about this matter, she didn't care about it just Qiu Tangerine.

"The slave really didn't see anything, and the slave won't say anything!" Qiu Tang hurriedly expressed his loyalty and kowtowed his head one after another.

"You are the one sent by my father, and I know a certain amount of your faithfulness. Gu Xiangyi didn't talk to her about those twists and turns, and said coldly: "Tonight's events, whether you see it or not, and what you see, as long as I hear a gossip in the house, then you can weigh it yourself, I am not a good person, and I am very cruel, I don't believe you can try." ”

Qiu Tang kowtowed two more times: "The slave understands!"

"Let's go down. ”

Tonight's wind was very strong, the window frames blew lightly, and the new bed was a little uncomfortable to fall asleep in, Gu Xiangyi turned over a few times and simply sat up straight.

The pomegranate who was keeping vigil was very light, poured a glass of water and asked, "The girl is worried about the autumn orange?"

"Akitachi, there's nothing to worry about her. ”

Having said that, it is not a good thing to trust too much, and Pomegranate's words of exhortation turned around in his mouth, and he swallowed it back intact.

Her own girl understands better than ten of her tying a piece, the girl is struggling in the capital, if it is away from the cover of Zhongyi Bofu, what is it okay? So the girl must have a clear plan in her heart, and she will definitely not let such a stinky rat as Qiu Tang harm a pot of soup.

Gu Xiangyi instructed Qiu Li, who came with Qiu Tang, to stare at Qiu Li secretly, she rewarded and punished clearly, and handed Qiu Li the reward and intimidation of the silver two, so that Qiu Li had to do things for her willingly.

Just staring at it, I really stared at something wrong.

Qiu Tang once saw the maid of the Zhibi Garden, and also accepted the two hairpins handed by the maid, the hairpin Qiu Li saw it, there are two pieces of jade on it, the jade is delicate and small and does not look like a cheap thing, and the jade inlaid is golden, probably a reward.

The maid of the Weaving Garden...

A faint smile appeared on Gu Xiangyi's face.

She has no grievances or enmity with Jiang Ruhua, but why did Jiang Ruhua buy her maid? What is the so-called matter? If she really hated her for beating Gu Fangyi and kicking Gu Yitao into the water, then she shouldn't be so deliberate.

Song's death is still a mystery, and there is nothing to investigate, but Gu Xiangyi faintly feels in her heart that her death has nothing to do with Zhibi Garden.

Since it was not killed by the Fu family, and Mother Ye concluded that the Song family would never commit suicide, she loved Gu Xiangyi more sincerely than her own life, and it was impossible to leave her daughter alone in the world to be tortured, so the only possibility was to be wiped out.

Who is it that is afraid of the Song family's favor coming back? If it is really not Fu Zhirong's doing, except for Xu Niangzi of Yingjiang Yuan, Jiang Ruhua is the most suspicious.

Knowing that Qiu Tang was in contact with the maid of Zhibi Garden, Pomegranate said angrily: "Sure enough, he has a different heart!"

"I want to thank her for her kindness. Gu Xiangyi glanced at the pomegranate with a smile: "Wait a few days, Lady Jiang will know what a stupid decision it is to put her hand into my He Yinju." ”
