117 Speculation

When Ji placed a pair of shoes embroidered with lotus lace on Xia Erye's hand, the latter's face did not change, but a pair of sword eyebrows slowly pulled up, as if he was about to outline the traces of Sichuan characters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Try it, I think these shoes are good."

No matter how old Second Master Xia is now, in front of the Ji family, he is a child after all.

He took off the boots from his feet, picked up the new ones, and struggled to put them in, but his face was slightly distorted, as if he was holding back something.

Ji Shi looked at his face, his face did not change, and he pretended not to see his distorted expression.

coughed lightly, "People have to serve the old, and if you can't do it well, you will wear it." ā€

"Is it old and dizzy to put an embroidery needle in the insole? Mother? ā€

Xia Nan didn't know everything that happened in Shaosongtang, she was still immersed in the joy of giving away a pair of shoes.

Soon, someone came to report that Mr. Heng had arrived.

Mr. Heng...... It's Ah Heng.

Now that he is Xia Nan is deputy, everything around her needs to be considered by him, these days, the people of the Hou Mansion seem to have acquiesced to his existence, and they do not doubt that Xia Nan suddenly has an extra one around him.

It's all thanks to Ji.

Ah Heng announced to the public that Mr. Tong's son, Mr. Tong was gone, and he naturally took over Mr. Tong's position.

He is not Xia Nan's teacher like Mr. Tong, but he has another identity.

Since he was in charge of Xia Nan, he was also appointed by the Ji family, so the people in Xia Weihou's Mansion didn't say much.

"Miss."

"How's it going with what I asked you to investigate?" Xia Nanping withdrew from the people around him and went straight to the point.

Ah Heng's face was silent, but he asked.

"Miss, have you ever touched the brocade box in your hand?"

Xia Nan didn't know why he talked about the brocade box, he had said that the reason why Mr. Tong died was because of the brocade box in her hand, and then she asked him to investigate the news of the Jiang family, and then the brocade box was densely hidden by her and never touched again.

"Nope."

"The relationship between the Jiang family and King Ming that you asked me to investigate, I did find out a little. The Chiang family wantonly purchased land in the Huainan area, and those lands were all under the hands of the official eunuchs of the DPRK and China, and under the pretext of acquiring land, they really searched for information about these eunuchs. ā€

"Search for information? What does the Jiang family want to do? Who are these eunuchs? ā€

Xia Nan asked three questions in a row.

"Listen to me."

"Do you remember the letter I showed you, the third article above?"

Xia Nan recalled the letter, which read......

"It is written that the death of Yuan Ming, the local county order, is suspected to have been done by the Jiang family, but it is true." Ah Heng paused, and said, "In order to confirm this conjecture, I quickly ran to Huainan and bought off the descendants of Yuan Ming's family, it turns out that on the day of Yuan Ming's death, he was invited to go out, and the concierge of the Jiang family also confirmed that someone entered through the back door that night, and this person is undoubtedly Yuan Ming." ā€

"Why did the Jiang family kill Yuan Ming, if so, wouldn't Yuan Ming be in the same boat as them."

Hearing this, the corners of Ah Heng's lips hooked up a mocking smile.

"In front of people, the word is the head. Yuan Ming didn't know how to advance and retreat, and the Jiang family would inevitably not be able to bypass him. ā€

Then the question arises, what did Yuan Ming have in his hands at that time, so that the Jiang family did not hesitate to kill him?

"The reason why the Jiang family was able to buy land everywhere unscrupulously was because of Yuan Ming's relationship, and he also knew many of them."

"I'm afraid it's not going to happen." Xia Nan got up, looked out the window with gloomy eyes.

Ah Heng looked at her suspiciously, only to see her thin lips lightly opened.

"Do you remember the ...... Lord Yan. ā€

Xia Nan's words and these three words, Ah Heng reacted immediately.

"Lord Yan was seriously injured at the beginning, but you rescued him, is it ......?"

There is only one conclusion.

"The Jiang family's intentions, Lord Yan has long known!"

But what is the intention of the Jiang family?

This brings us to the Yulin Rebellion.

At that time, Jiang Wenfeng was an upright person, his reputation stood upright, and he did a lot of good deeds, and his erudite reputation was heard by the emperor, so he promoted him as the prince's teacher.

The prince's teacher is extremely glorious, and Jiang Wenfeng has also become one of the objects of envy of everyone.

The emperor has a son, named Yulin, ranked thirteenth, the most loved by the emperor, Yulin is young, but nine years old, but the most studious, always pestering Jiang Wenfeng to ask questions, Jiang Wenfeng also admires this prince the most, and the intersection is very intimate.

At that time, there was early speculation in the court that the emperor would appoint the thirteen princes as the crown prince, but all this was just a one-sided talk.

The thirteenth prince and the current eldest princess are siblings, and among all the candidates for the crown prince, he has the highest voice.

The night before the establishment of the crown prince, the thirteenth prince suddenly died at home, but after investigation, the finger was pointed at Jiang Wenfeng.

That night, Jiang Wenfeng taught homework for the thirteen princes as usual and rested in the mansion, but the news of the prince's violent death pointed directly at him, and he didn't know anything about it.

Then, after investigating one by one with Xiao Zhengqin and other officials, they pointed out that the murderer was Jiang Wenfeng.

The Jiang family rose quickly and declined quickly, but Yun Houxiong pleaded hard for him.

But now the emperor is suffering from the loss of his son, how can he listen to it.

The Jiang family, gone.

The prince of Yulin back then flashed in the world like a meteor, and quickly withered, which made people feel suffocated.

The departure of a prince made the emperor exhausted and had no intention of government, and the court was in turmoil at that time, but fortunately, the foundation of imperial power was deep, and the emperor then came out of the pain of losing his son, which ended this chaos.

This turmoil was later known as the Yulin Rebellion.

The alley where the thirteen princes lived was also named Yulin Hutong, which was also a kind of tribute to him by the emperor.

After listening to Ah Heng tell about this incident, Xia Nan's heart couldn't help but feel a little heavier.

Royal......

Implicated in the royal family again.

Listening to the meaning of Ah Heng's words, Jiang Wenfeng's matter seemed to have another hidden secret, and now the Jiang family has appeared in the capital again, but they want to overturn the case for Jiang Wenfeng?

If this is the case, then the Jiang family will have an explanation for marrying Yun Chuyang.

The cloud sacrifice wine is sorry and guilty for Jiang Wenfeng, if it is to ask to marry Chu Yang in this way, the cloud sacrifice wine will definitely agree.

In this way, the Jiang family is tied to the Yun family, and if something happens to him one day, the Yun family can still shelter the Jiang family from the wind and rain!

What a big abacus!

"But these are just our guesses." Ah Heng said.

The confusion in front of them seems to have been cleared up a bit, but in the end, these are just their speculations, and there is no concrete evidence.

"I think you're missing something." Xia Nan said.

Ah Heng frowned.

For example, Xiao Zhengqin back then...... How did it be deduced that Jiang Wenfeng was the murderer of the Thirteen Princes? ā€

After she mentioned it, Ah Heng said.

"It is said that it was calculated by a magician, but I don't know the specifics."

Sorcerer...... It's a sorcerer again!

As soon as she heard these two words, Xia Nan felt numb in her heart, even if she was now half-footed into the mystical art, she still listened to the panic.

If the sorcerer's accusations are extrapolated, and there are four-grade officials in front, it will be difficult for Jiang Wenfeng's charges to be settled.

Xia Nan pondered for a while before speaking.

"Lord Yan, it seems that you know a lot."

She used the word "seem", and there must have been a lot of words in her words.

"Huainan was injured at that time, it should be someone who was instructed by the Jiang family, the Jiang family has been accumulating strength for a long time over the years, and the Huainan area was swallowed by him, and it is understandable to hurt a Yan adult. You don't want to come here during this time, you go to Huainan, and carefully investigate the situation over there, maybe you can find out something. ā€

Ah Heng replied in a low voice and said again.

"Miss, I have some guesses."

"You say."

"As far as I know, sorcerers can be divided into many kinds, using different substances as media, if the Jiang family really came for Jiang Wenfeng's affairs back then, then the first thing the Jiang family focused on would be the sorcerer who accused Jiang Wenfeng back then? The Jiang family is now targeting you, or rather on the brocade box, so is there something hidden in the brocade box? ā€

Ah Heng's speculation was extremely reasonable, and Xia Nan pondered.

She silently walked into the back room and took out a brocade box from the bottom cabinet of pear blossoms beside the carved bed.

Xia Nan held the brocade box and came to Ah Heng.

"I've tried to open the box, but it's so sturdy that I've tried many times and I've been unsuccessful."

Ah Heng just wanted to speak, but the originally closed door was suddenly knocked open, and a blue figure jumped in front of them.

Immediately followed by Bi Tong's apologetic eyes, "Miss, as soon as the young master heard that there was a man in your house, he didn't care if he had to break in, and the maid couldn't stop him." ā€

Xia Nan could almost feel her chest that had begun to rise and fall.

She can imagine what it would be like one day when she crumples Jiang Xian into the toilet!

Seeing her ugly face, Jiang Xian hurriedly smiled.

"Sister, don't be angry, I didn't mean it, I'm just afraid that you will be taken advantage of."

"Jiang! Envy! ā€

He broke in so casually, and one day Xia Nan would go crazy.

Jiang Xian was dressed in a blue shirt, with a blue belt tied around his waist, his handsome face smiled harmlessly, his eyes crossed a touch of hostility when he touched Ah Heng's face, and when he looked at Xia Nan, he brought a flattery, seeing that her face was unhappy, he hurriedly changed the topic.

"Hey, sister, you still have this kind of box here, I thought I couldn't find it."

As soon as he heard his words, Xia Nan's original stomach qi dissipated in an instant, and he said suspiciously.

"Do you recognize this box?"

Jiang Xian grabbed the brocade box on the table and clamped it under his armpit, looking complacent.

"Of course, who am I, Jiang Xian, in addition to studying the corpses of the dead, my favorite thing is to collect some rare things, like this seven-star plum blossom treasure box, I naturally have to remember it."

Xia Nan had already been hooked by his words.

"Seven-Star Plum Blossom Treasure Box?"

Jiang Xian pulled Xia Nan over and asked her to stay away from Ah Heng, and then pointed to the box to show her.

"Sister, you see, this box was not originally like this, here is engraved with plum blossom lines, but because of corrosion is not very clear to see, originally this box is connected into an arc of seven stars, the edge is plum blossom-shaped, there was originally a gilt pattern with a border, the box is gorgeous, but I didn't expect ah, such a treasure box, was buried in the soil, really tyrannical!"

"Where did you know?"

As soon as Ah Heng asked, Jiang Xian immediately looked like you kid didn't know anything and was stupid.

He was unceremonious.

"It's really stupid, the seven-star plum blossom treasure box is the hardest and indestructible, there is not even a trace of seam in the middle of the box, and you see, this box must have been buried in the soil all year round, and there has been some corrosion on the surface, and some sand has seeped in, this fool can see it."

After Jiang Xian finished speaking, he couldn't help but lose Ah Heng.

Ah Heng's face did not change, but his eyes fell on the box.

Xia Nan couldn't help but twitch her mouth, when did Jiang Xian's mouth become so aggressive?

"Do you have a way to open this box?"

Now what she wants to solve most is this matter.

If Ah Heng's speculation came true, if the things in it were really related to the magic or about Jiang Wenfeng back then, then all the speculations would be clear.

There is no doubt that Ah Heng is her person, everything he does is for her and for Mr. Tong, Xia Nan's trust in him is also like Mr. Tong.

As for Jiang Xian, Xia Nan also believes in him, even if he is his sister with a conscience now, no matter how much he is disgusted with her in the future, at least now, he treats her sincerely.

"Not for others, but who am I? I'm Jiang Xian, this little thing can't bother me. ā€

After speaking, he also glanced at Ah Heng defiantly, and saw that the latter's face did not move, so he had to turn to look at Xia Nan.

looks arrogant, it seems that he has to be praised by Xia Nan.

Xia Nan was helpless, so she could only comfort him a few times.

The latter was complimented, and then nodded in satisfaction.

"You go find me some wire."

"Why?"

Jiang Xian instructed Ah Heng very freely.

"If you don't find wire, how can I open this box. The Seven Star Plum Blossom Treasure Box uses the most sophisticated lock, if I hadn't studied it before, I don't know who could open this box! ā€

Obviously, they are also two teenagers, one is old and the other is young.

But how to look at it in Xia Nan's eyes, she suddenly felt ...... How can you get it right?!

She hurriedly brushed away the impure thoughts in her mind, and asked the maid below to find two wires.

She understands now that Jiang Xian is hostile to any man she dares to love if she gets closer to her.

Xia Nan, who knew the truth, almost fell into tears.

Although Jiang Xian is usually not very reliable, he is extremely serious in doing things.

I saw that he changed his face, wrapped the two wires together, looked at them carefully, and then threaded the wires into a small hole in the box.

Xia Nan looked at the box countless times, but he didn't notice the small holes hidden in the cracks, and saw Jiang Xian interspersed the thin wire, and then put his ears close to the box, grabbed the box with his left hand, and kept turning with the wire in his right hand.

After a breath passed, Jiang Xian's originally clean and white forehead was gradually covered with fine beads of sweat, Xia Nan carefully wiped his forehead for him, and his eyes were a little deeper.

A box, indestructible, and so difficult to open, what kind of thing is inside?

Between Xia Nan's thoughts, she only heard an extremely crisp voice sound, followed by Jiang Xian's happy voice.

"It's done!" (To be continued.) )
