Chapter Eighty-Seven: Transactions
Qin Yue's back was cold for no reason, as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him secretly, which made people breathless for no reason.
She turned her head to catch a glimpse of June following not far behind her, and then she felt a little relieved.
Mama Yu sent her to the gate of the main courtyard and retreated.
The door of the main courtyard was hidden, and Qin Yue pushed it open with a little force.
There are many yellow cypress trees planted in the yard, and the branches are full of foliage, vigorous and upright.
The weather in October has turned cooler, the autumn wind is blowing, and the sound of the wind blowing the leaves is a little slight.
Because the old lady was murderous, the maids and mothers-in-law below avoided it far away, for fear of getting into bad luck.
Qin Yue wandered alone in the empty courtyard, feeling uncontrollable grief.
The grass and trees in the courtyard are still full of vitality. Although my grandmother didn't stay in the capital for a long time, she would come and stay for a while every year.
In the corner of the wall, there is a phalaenopsis planted by my grandmother, red in all seasons, and a cockscomb, and the cactus that is more than one person tall is a gift to my grandmother when she was two years old.
Now, the scenery is still the same, but the people have gone.
Qin Yue sighed and was about to go to her grandmother's inner room.
June didn't know when he had already followed, walked up to her and whispered, "Miss, someone is watching in the dark." ”
Qin Yue was shocked.
Sure enough, my instincts were really good. This reinforces the certainty that my grandmother's death was not a suicide.
Qin Yue raised his head and nodded to June.
June's eyes glanced into the next earroom.
Qin Yue immediately understood that the person peeping was in that room.
In order to avoid startling the snake, Qin Yue didn't make a sound, and continued to walk in with his little short legs.
My grandmother's room was still the same as it had been when she was alive, and the bedding on the bed was neatly folded. Shuangyan gold hook hangs a brocade tent, in front of the dressing table is her usual beaded hairpin headdress, and the clothes are hung in the low cabinet next to it. Even the white silk that my grandmother threw herself into is still hanging on the beams of the house, blown around by the wind.
It didn't seem to be anything unusual, but Qin Yue always felt that something was wrong.
What's wrong?
Qin Yue frowned, and walked slowly to carefully inspect every corner of the room.
June's face was stern, and he had already drawn a soft sword in his hand. The six senses of martial arts practitioners are usually more acute than those of others. She could already smell a murderous aura.
Qin Yue was unaware. Still watching and thinking.
At this moment, a long sword suddenly stretched out from the high cabinet next to him, stabbing straight at Qin Yue's small body.
Qin Yue subconsciously took two steps back. Got past the sword.
Later June's reaction was not slow, "Miss, be careful!" exclaimed as he hurriedly dragged Qin Yue behind him, and the soft sword in his hand wrapped around the long sword. At the same time, he kicked the cabinet with his right foot.
The cabinet door shattered into wooden slag with a "click", and a masked man in Tsing Yi jumped out of it. Look at that delicate body. Ten of you* is a woman.
Qin Yue found a safe place to stand and held the Linglong hairpin in his hand.
The man in Tsing Yi was not in love with war, and after more than ten moves, he escaped through the window while he was parrying in June. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.
It seems that she is very familiar with the terrain of the Jiang family. I just don't know what she wants to do when she comes to her grandmother's room?
June said, "Miss don't you think?" Is the old lady's room too clean?"
A word woke up the person in the dream, and Qin Yue slapped his hands violently. That's when I realized something was wrong.
It's been less than a day since my grandmother's accident, and even the mourning hall has not been arranged, and the masters are busy taking care of my grandmother's funeral, and it's too late for people to avoid it.
However, any corner of the room is so clean that there is not even a trace of dust to be found, obviously deliberately cleaned?
A dead old master's room, what to do with sweeping so clean?
The only explanation is that this person is trying to cover up. She must have left some clues when she committed the crime, and when she found out afterwards, she rushed to deal with it.
Could it be the man in Tsing Yi who slipped away just now?
June thought about it and couldn't help but remind: "Miss can go and ask the eldest prince." Didn't Mama Yu say it just now, the old lady asked her to invite the eldest son, and when she came back, the two found out what happened to the old lady together. Anyway, the eldest prince was the first to find the old lady's body. ”
Qin Yue nodded again and again when he heard this. Caring is chaotic, the closer the person has an accident, the more confused he is, and even his IQ has dropped a lot.
The two men then came out of the main courtyard.
Qin Yue subconsciously glanced into the ear room, and the person who peeked was gone.
As soon as he walked to the second gate, he saw Qin Sanye hurrying to the backyard with red eyes.
Qin Yue hurriedly called his father.
When Qin Sanye saw her, he hurriedly rubbed his eyes, "Yue'er, where are you going?"
Qin Yue said: "I'll go find my eldest cousin and ask him something." ”
"Don't go, your eldest cousin has returned to Wuling. Children's families, don't run around. Qin Sanye said and took his daughter's hand and went to the backyard together.
Qin Yue couldn't help but secretly look at his father.
The expression on my father's face was very strict, and there was a hint of irritation and uneasiness.
"Grandfather, is he okay?" Qin Yue asked hesitantly. As soon as my father arrived at Jiang's house, he went to his grandfather's study, and after staying for so long before coming out, it seemed that the conversation was not pleasant.
Qin Sanye only cared about walking, and deliberately ignored his daughter's questioning.
Qin Yue glanced at June behind him.
June then walked away quietly, and he understood Qin Yue's order to inquire about the front yard.
When the father and daughter of the Qin family came to the backyard again, the mourning hall had been erected, the old lady's coffin had stopped in, and the word "lay" was big in the middle of the mourning hall, surrounded by wreaths and white flags. The charcoal basin in front of the coffin was full of paper ashes, incense and candles were burning vigorously, and smoke was curling.
Qin Sanye hurriedly led his daughter forward to offer incense to her mother-in-law.
Zeng's and Lu's, together with Jiang Chan and Jiang Hui's two cousins, saluted beside them.
It stands to reason that when a grandmother dies, it should be the eldest son or grandson who performs the prayer before the spirit. The eldest uncle is not in the capital, and Cousin Yun is the most suitable candidate for the ceremony, but why did he go back to Wuling at this time?
Even if it's to report the funeral, you can send a slave back to report it, right?
Qin Yue was full of doubts in his heart, and followed his father to incense his grandmother. took the filial piety dress in the hands of the eldest cousin and put it on.
Qin Sanye was a little surprised when he saw Qin Yue's movements, he opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything after all, but he sighed heavily. What his daughter wanted to do, he never succeeded.
That night, Qin Yue insisted on staying in Jiangfu.
Qin Sanye couldn't persuade him, so he had to shake his head and leave with a sigh.
Qin Yue looked at the back of his father leaving, and sighed. It's not that she insists on staying in Jiangfu. It was really the news that June brought to her was so shocking.
June caught the man who was peeking at them in the earroom. A person's name was forced out of her mouth, a name that Qin Yue never expected: the second ancestor Jiang Ruling.
In memory, Jiang Ruling's talent is mediocre. doesn't have much ability, relying on his ancestor Yu Meng to find a small official position in the Ministry of Industry, and he is always following the orders of his eldest brother Jiang Ruhui.
But he didn't know that his grandmother's death this time was his own will. Or did my grandfather mean it?
If it was my grandfather's intention, then my grandfather's heart was too ruthless. That's his wife. Could it be that in order to work for the Seventh Prince, can even his own wife be harmed?
June also told her that the seventh prince might come to Jiangfu tonight.
With the meaning of June, simply report the news to the emperor. Let the emperor send heavy troops to besiege the mansion, and then wipe out the Seven Masters Party.
Qin Yue didn't agree to do this.
Her purpose is to keep the Jiang family, if she wants Feng Qi to fall into it. That wasn't her intention. Although my grandfather was unkind, she could not be unjust. There are hundreds of people in the Jiang family. You can't be killed because of the sins of your grandfather.
After all, Qin Yue has half the soul of a modern person in his bones.
It was never her intention to kill innocents indiscriminately.
At the same time, the news of Mrs. Jiang's death had spread, and many relatives and friends came to the door to offer condolences. The emperor also sent an internal supervisor to send Shang Lian, and posthumously awarded Mrs. Jiang the title of Mrs. Yipin. Before the rebellion incident was exposed, the emperor also needed this move to stabilize people's hearts.
Qin Yue accompanied her cousins to wake her grandmother's spirit, and she didn't leave until late at night.
When I returned to the room and just changed into my night clothes, I saw June hurriedly push the door in, put her finger to her lips and "shh
Qin Yue nodded, and was dragged by June to jump onto the roof.
In his previous life, Shen Jin knew some kung fu, but unfortunately Qin Yue's body was too special in this life, and he didn't make much progress in swordsmanship after learning Qin Fen for a year.
Qin Yue sighed, June had already carried her to the roof of Jiang Ruhui's study in the front yard and lay down, only to see her gently uncover the two tiles on the roof, and just saw the figures in the room through the gap in the tiles.
There were five people in total, in addition to the two brothers Jiang Ruhui and Jiang Ruling, there were also the handsome Feng Qi and a gray-clothed man with a mask on his face, and the other was the masked man in Tsing Yi that Qin Yue saw in his grandmother's room.
Jiang Ruhan's face was like ashes, looking at Jiang Ruling's eyes with a thick hatred, he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "That's your sister-in-law!
Jiang Ruling sneered: "Don't blame my brother's ruthlessness, if I don't kill her, she will put me to death, and put the Jiang family in a place where there is no return!
"What if you kill her? Even if you kill her, it won't help!"
"That's not necessarily! The emperor is just suspicious, and he will not move the Jiang family lightly until he gets conclusive evidence. Pull a hair and move the whole body, the emperor understands this truth better than anyone else. ”
"You-" Jiang Ru was so angry that a mouthful of old blood spurted out on the spot, and the Seventh Prince hurriedly supported him.
The Seventh Prince suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of Jiang Ruhui, his eyes flashed with regret and guilt, and he choked up: "A teacher for one day, a father for life." The death of the master and mother is also very sad. The second uncle's move was indeed reckless, but everyone knew that it was also for the sake of the great cause. If the teacher wants to blame, they will all suffer, and I just ask the teacher not to be sad about it anymore. With that, tears rolled out of his eyes, and he looked more grieved than anyone else.
I have to admit that Feng Qi's emotional intelligence is indeed super high, and his grasp of people's hearts is even more accurate.
When Qin Yue saw this, there was nothing he didn't understand.
The Jiang family, which she wanted to protect, was so dirty inside. Not only did the grandfather betray the emperor, but the second grandfather was a lackey of Feng Qi through and through, but I was afraid that the third grandfather, Jiang Ruhong, did not stay out of the matter. I just don't know why it didn't show up tonight.
The hundred-year-old Jiang clan, the Jiang clan of the Chunchen family, has completely ruined the reputation of their ancestors in this generation!
My grandmother must have sensed the strictness of the matter, but she couldn't bear to tell her husband, so she wanted to send a message to the Jiang family in Wuling through Cousin Yun's mouth, so that they could prepare early.
Unexpectedly, my grandmother's kindness fell in the eyes of the second grandfather, and it became her life-threatening talisman.
There was still a bitter drama in the house, but Qin Yue was no longer in the mood to continue watching.
No matter what, the Jiang family still has to be protected, but these damned ones must also die! We must solve all these things before Xiao Qian reports the Jiang family. Otherwise, once they are charged with the rebellion of the Seven Masters Party, it will be impossible for the Jiang family to be whitewashed!
Mother, mother can't be the daughter of a sinner!
This is the reason why Qin Yue wants to protect the Jiang family no matter what!
That night, Qin Yue secretly made an appointment with Yan Yuan.
Yan Yuan had already fallen asleep at that time, heard a familiar whistling, and hurriedly put on his clothes and hurriedly left the house.
At the gate of the Shen Mansion, he was surprised to see Qin Wu.
The two walked to a secluded place to talk, and June automatically hid into the dark to protect.
"Young Master Yan, how about we make a deal?"
"Oh, Xiao Wu'er will make a deal?" Yan Yuan said with a grin.
Qin Yue's face sank, "What I'm going to say is serious." How about you do me a favor, and I'll tell you the secret of the Whirlwind Guard?"
"Whirlwind Guard, do you know Whirlwind Guard?" Yan Yuan was taken aback.
Qin Yue said lightly: "My father has a good relationship with Young Master Shen, why can't I know? I know far more than you think! Since you are a person who wants to do great things, the more you know, the better it will be for you, isn't it?"
Yan Yuan was silent.
In many cases, silence is acquiescence.
Moreover, his ambition has never been hidden from Qin Yue.
Men, there are very few men who have no ambitions, it's just that the ambitions are big and small.
After a while, Yan Yuan said, "Do you want me to save the Jiang family?"
"Exactly!" Qin Yue nodded, "Those who deserve to die must die, and those who don't deserve to die must live, and they are upright and innocent!"
Yan Yuan instantly understood what Qin Yue meant. For him, the death or life of the Jiang family has nothing to do with him, and it is even beneficial to his future plans, but looking at the painful eyes of the little girl in front of him, he is inexplicably a little soft-hearted, and there is a little heartache.
Yan Yuan frowned, and his phoenix eyes were ruthless.
Qin Yue said: "If this is not enough, I can also add some chips." You put forward the conditions!"
Yan Yuan suddenly asked, "Do you believe me?"
Qin Yue was a little dazed, not knowing what he meant, and subconsciously said, "Of course I believe you!"
Yan Yuan suddenly smiled, his eyes were full of warmth when he looked at Qin Yue, he couldn't help but take Qin Yue's hand and said, "It's good if you believe me! No matter what, I will never hurt you, and I won't make you miserable! Leave the affairs of the Jiang family to me, I will definitely help you do it successfully!"
Qin Yue let him hold it, although the palm of the handsome young man in front of him was not wide enough, it was enough to hold her slender little hand, and although his shoulders were not wide enough, it was enough for her young body to rely on.
For now, that's enough. (To be continued) R640
