Jiang Gan was born in the largest merchant family in Southern Chen Xiling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Chiang clan traveled for generations to and from Nanchen to and from neighboring countries to sell cloth and silk. By the time of Jiang Gan's generation, the population of the clan had reached nearly 1,000.

Most of them were scattered all over Nanchen to engage in business, and the Xiling Jiang family was already a well-known wealthy family in Nanchen.

Jiang Gan was also very talented in business, and when he was a teenager, he followed his father back and forth between the Great Song Dynasty and the Southern Chen to sell brocades. Because of his preference for brocade, by chance, he worshipped the brocade master of the Nanchen court at that time as his teacher. also entered the Nanchen court, specially for the Nanchen royal family brocade.

More than 20 years ago, before Xiao Yu's father ascended the throne, there was also a coup d'état in the palace for the succession of the throne.

Before the coup d'état, the court brocade weaver was dead, and Jiang Gan was instructed by Emperor Nanchen to restore the dilapidated "Splendid Scenery of Rivers and Mountains" within a limited time.

Jiang Gan spent several years thinking hard about it, afraid of being punished, and it was at that time that the inner director of the palace who tried to launch a coup d'état killed people and set fire to the palace, and Jiang Gan escaped from the palace with "Splendid Rivers and Mountains".

The coup d'état was quickly quelled, and a fire burned the bodies of the palace to the point where the bodies were killed. Jiang Gan was missing from the palace, and everyone thought he died in that fire. Although the royal family felt sorry for the tapestry map, they all knew that the picture was in tatters, and since it had been burned again, no one in the royal family traced the whereabouts of the tapestry map.

After the coup d'état, those who participated in the coup d'état were killed, and those who deserved were exiled.

At that time, Jiang Gan's father brought hundreds of people from his family to settle in Xiling, although Jiang Gan knew that because he was afraid of affecting his family, he did not return to Xiling after escaping from the palace, and chose to go into exile.

It was also at that time that Jiang Gan met Yuntong while in exile.

Yuntong was born in the Nanchen family, and there have been officials in his family for generations. In this coup d'état, the Yun family was accused of complicity by political opponents, and the emperor ordered the Yun family to be cut from their official positions, demoted to slavery, and exiled to Muchuan.

Yun Tong escaped on the way to be escorted, and was about to take refuge in Qingfeng Village, when he met Jiang Gan on the road, and the two had met a few times in Nanchen Jingzhong before, and they met each other in the rivers and lakes, and they had the same disease, so they came to Qingfeng Village together.

"Before they came, there were only a hundred people who came to join Qingfeng Village. Not long after Jiang Gan and Yuntong came, the Qiu brothers gave up the position of the owner of the village to Jiang Gan. Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Li with a smile, "That's why I used to tell you that Qiushuang's father used to be the owner of the village, so I just told you that before." ”

Jiang Li knew before that everyone who came to Qingfeng Village had a story. But I never thought of Jiang Gan. Now listening to Xiao Yu, it is inevitable to sigh and sigh.

"There are thousands of people in the Jiang clan, and the master said that his relatives died in the battle when Dayan invaded Nanchen."

Xiao Yu's face was gloomy, looking at the dark night outside the bamboo building, his eyes were cold, and even his voice was cold, "Three years ago, Dayan broke through Xiling and slaughtered the city, not to mention Jiang Gan's family, how many families in the city were killed overnight・・・・・・"

The mountain wind outside the building whined, Xiao Yu's face was gloomy, and Aunt Hong was also a relative.

Di Yu blinked, calmed down and said, "Jiang Gan followed the broken graphics on the brocade map and found that there was a gold mine in the mountains of Qingfeng Village. With this discovery, they began to recruit a large number of people, and relying on the wealth accumulated from the excavation of this gold mine, Qingfeng Village was able to grow to the scale of nearly 100,000 people every year. ”

When Xiao Yu said this, Jiang Li pursed the corners of his mouth. Seeing that terrain so similar to the tapestry map that day, she knew there was a gold mine behind the mountain.

"Qingfeng Village can not have today because of this gold mine, as well as Yun Tong and Jiang Gan's careful planning and layout over the years. Although I can't completely agree with their intentions, none of us want Nanchen to be invaded by Dayan again, so our plan to attack Dayan is imperative. ”

"I understand." Jiang Li nodded, "Before implementing the plan, we must first find out the people who are secretly obstructing." But how can you be sure that the Man in Black will come? ”

Xiao Yu paced in the room and muttered, "After nearly ten years of endless mining, this gold mine has been nearly exhausted. Over the years, we've been trying to expand our income.

No, before we got the tapestry back up, we were already trying to do business. Cooperating with you to open a brocade workshop is only one of them, and we have also spread other businesses between the two countries of Southern Chen and Great Song.

Even so, these financial resources are not enough to sustain a big war. So we put more hope on that tapestry chart. The men in black should also know what that tapestry picture means to us, so I'm sure they'll come. ”

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows lightly, "This time, you also plan to use that brocade map to lure the enemy?" ”

Xiao Yu nodded: "In the past few days, Yuntong and Li Mu have checked one by one in the village, if they can find a trace of clues, it is the best, if they can't find it, this is the only way we can think of at present." ”

Jiang Ligu rolled his eyes, "Since the black-clothed masked man who broke into my house that night was able to hide from Sixi and the Zhao family, his kung fu must be very high. Then he must not be an ordinary soldier in the village. And he can still recognize "Splendid Rivers and Mountains" at a glance, and he also knows the sword you gave me, maybe he is still someone who is very familiar with you. ”

Seeing Xiao Yu's expression, Jiang Li said again: "He was not among the black-clothed people who appeared in Guanyin Nunnery that night. I vaguely heard them mention the title of 'master' on the back of the man in black, and I guess the status of the man in black who poisoned me that night would not be too low. Can I narrow down the scope of the investigation by checking in this way? ”

Xiao Yumo's eyes lit up and darkened, "These clues you provided are somewhat useful, but they are still too general." It would be nice if you could remember some of his characteristics. ”

Features? The man was dressed in black and his face was covered, and in addition to being able to see that he was tall, he also had those eyes.

"I don't know if it's dazzling, but I always feel that the eyes of that person today are very similar to the man in black that night."

"Oh?" Xiao Yu's ink-like eyes lit up again, "Have you seen it today?" ”

Jiang Li nodded, "After you went to the stone house, I saw a man hurrying by under the pine forest outside the waterfall. The man was dressed in a blue-gray robe, with a high nose and thin lips, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and his body was about the same as that of the man in black that night. The point is that his eyes are as sharp as a falcon—"

Xiao Yuyu's face sank slightly, and his eyes narrowed coldly, "You're talking about Ding Zhiqiu!" No wonder ・・・・・・ I should have thought of it a long time ago. ”

Jiang Li didn't know who Ding Zhiqiu was, but when he thought of that kind of look, Jiang Zhiqiu's head was cold again, and he became more and more sure, "The more I think about it, the more I feel that I can't be wrong." But I'm still not sure. But be warned, you should be more careful. ”

"Good. Thanks to your timely reminder. I asked him to go back and check his details. ”

Xiao Yu got up and went downstairs and left. Leave Aunt Hong upstairs to wait for Jiang Li's dispatch.
