Chapter 131: Hands-on

The death of Mrs. Jiang brought a lot of vibration to the Jiang Mansion, not so much that the news of Mrs. Jiang's death was too shocking, but that Jiang Ruan was arrested and imprisoned was even more shocking. Jiang Quan was naturally angry when he learned about this, and that day in the Guilan Courtyard, only Caique was left in front of Mrs. Jiang, who had followed Mrs. Jiang for many years, and what she said was convincing. As for Mrs. Jiang's tea, it was found to be arsenic.

The rumor on the streets and alleys is that Jiang Ruan has a deep grudge against Mrs. Jiang, so she made arsenic and ate with Mrs. Jiang. It's just that although this word spreads far away, a wise person can hear the clue when he hears it, if he says that he wants to murder a person, is it too stupid to put arsenic in front of him? The lord of Hong'an is not a fool, how could he kill himself.

However, suspicion is suspicion, after all, it is Jiangfu's own business. Everyone was talking about it while waiting to see the excitement, how would this god of war sister of the Great Jin Dynasty, the red county lord next to the Empress Dowager Yide now, turn this situation around.

Xu is too fierce outside, Jiang Quan issued a grounding order, and people in the house are not allowed to come out and walk around except for shopping. In the second aunt's courtyard, Yang Liu was carefully serving the second aunt to drink medicine.

"Farther away!" The second aunt waved her hand and opened the medicine bowl, showing a little irritability on her face. Jiang Quan didn't allow people in the mansion to go out, and people from outside couldn't come in, and even the subordinates who passed the news didn't get the news, and they didn't know what had become of the outside of the road. Thinking of the 30,000 taels of silver she gave away, the second aunt gritted her teeth, she staked all her net worth, and it was impossible to escape even if Jiang Ruan planted her wings.

Although Hu Qianqiu invited her, it has been many years in the end, on the surface, Hu Qianqiu is because of his affection in the past, but in fact, he does not want to quietly catch the line of the Jiang family. The battle between Xuanhua and Xuanli became more and more intense, that is, although Hu Qianqiu was in the Xuanhua column, he inevitably hesitated a little in his heart. If you can catch the line of Jiangfu, you can take care of it in the future.

Li Qiang is her nephew, who is the best gambler on weekdays, and owes a lot of debt, if she hadn't seen through this, she wouldn't have let Li Qiang help her do things. She didn't want to bring down Jiang Ruan by framing her, she just wanted to let Li Qiang use some means when she was in prison, but any woman would naturally commit suicide after this incident, that is, she would not commit suicide, and Li Qiang would also help her make it look like she committed suicide. Jiang Li was originally given by Jiang Ruan, but her body was ruined by the perverted prince, and she also had a reputation for being dissolute. Now she wants Jiang Ruan to taste that kind of taste, she was ruined by someone, and her reputation was lost.

Only in prison, Jiang Ruan has no one around him, so it is best to start. It was a foolproof thing, but there was no news over there, and a trace of anxiety rose in the second aunt's heart, and there was a hint of ominous premonition in this anxiety, which made her inexplicably panic.

After a pause, she stood up and said, "I'll go see Jiang Dan." ”

……

Jiang Dan's courtyard, which is close to Ruan's residence, is also quiet at the moment. The white silk for the funeral was already hung everywhere, Jiang Dan was dressed in white, sitting in front of the window, fiddling with the small white flowers on the table. Her long hair was not pulled up, and she spread her shoulders casually, which made her shoulders even weaker, and the whole person was like a small white flower in her hand, fragile and pitiful.

"Girl." The maid stepped forward and said, "The second aunt is outside." ”

"I'm not feeling well today, so I'm gone." Jiang Dan ruffled his hair, got up and walked towards the bed.

The maid was a little embarrassed, but she didn't dare not obey, so she went out of the road. Jiang Dan walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and tore off the soft cigarette tent with his backhand. The newly made autumn fragrant Tianxiangluo soft cigarette tent exudes a vague aroma, the color is bright and moving, and a horse is also very expensive. Although Hongying's family and several young ladies didn't dare to do anything openly, she was a concubine and couldn't afford to use these things.

It's just that it was given by someone else but didn't leave a name, just thinking about who that person was, Zuo Jiang's attitude was inevitably too enthusiastic. A trace of disdain flashed on Jiang Dan's face, if it was in the past, Langzhong Mansion was indeed a good place to go, but now that the future of Langzhong Mansion is worrying, there is no room for progress in his career. She is not a fool, how could she get in, Zuo Jiang is very self-controlled, and she really thinks that she wants to marry her.

In the end, it is still of some use, Jiang Dan played with the buckle of the tent, and he was in a very good mood, the second aunt was a fool, and she wanted to do it yesterday. Just a few words of instigation, let the stupid woman go and find someone herself. It would naturally be good if she could bring down Jiang Ruan, but Jiang Dan himself knew in his heart that with Jiang Ruan's wrist, the second aunt would definitely not be her opponent. Probably at the end of the day, the loser is still the second aunt.

So what? Jiang Dan's eyes flashed with hatred, when the second aunt instigated Jiang Li to take away the family she won like this, did she really think she was a soft persimmon? Jiang Li is dead, and the second aunt is alive and well, so it won't be possible. People who offend her in the world always have no good fruit to eat, it was Jiang Li at the beginning, and now she is the second aunt, and there will be ...... in the future She smiled slightly, stretched out her porcelain white hand, and picked up an embroidery with a delicate and pretty hand, on which a young phoenix was embroidered, stretching her neck to cry, as if she was only waiting for a gust of wind to be able to roar for nine days.

……

In the imperial study, Zhao Guang wiped the sweat on his head, and his expression finally relaxed a little. To put it mildly, the emperor always revealed a little bit of the meaning that this matter would not end hastily. Thinking about it, Jiang Ruan is now also the county lord of the royal family, if something really happens, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the emperor.

Thinking of Hu Qianqiu, Zhao Guang was on fire, Zhao Guang was a veteran of the founding dynasty and a general of the auxiliary state, and he always had three points of courtesy when his colleagues met him on weekdays. Hu Qianqiu's ability to sit firmly in the seat of the Imperial Historical Observatory is inseparable from his shrewd and sleek temperament. Only Zhao Guang has always had a lot of complaints about Wenchen, and he has not had too much intersection with Hu Qianqiu. Unexpectedly, this courteous and polite court sent Jiang Ruan to prison this time, and there was no problem with it, but Zhao Guang's intuition was that this turtle grandson must have been involved in it.

The emperor threw the fold in his hand to the side and pressed his forehead, and Gao Gonggong looked at his eyes and nose, and was silent on the side. Empress Dowager Yide just came, didn't she also tell the emperor about Jiang Ruan. Empress Dowager Yide has rarely paid attention to such trivial matters over the years, but she didn't expect that now she is for the Hong'an County Lord to take care of these things again. Gao Gonggong thought in his heart, the lord of Hong'an County won the true love of the queen mother, and the Zhao family was behind him, plus Jiang Xinzhi's merits, the emperor didn't pay much attention to her, and now I am afraid that I will have to re-examine this Jiang family's daughter.

At this time, he heard the little eunuch outside come to inform King Jinying that he wanted to see him, Xiao Shaofang entered the house, and the emperor looked at him and said, "What, don't tell me, you are also here for the matter of the county lord of Hong'an?" ”

Xiao Shao was silent.

The emperor said it unintentionally, but when he saw Xiao Shao's appearance, he was stunned, and frowned slightly: "What is the relationship between you and Hong'an?" ”

Xiao Shao said lightly: "Hu Qianqiu, as an official of the Imperial History Terrace, was not strictly investigated, was deceived by sluts, and was repeatedly promoted, please punish Your Majesty severely." ”

"When you talk to me like this, it means that you have already made a move, and you are still asking me what to do?" The emperor snorted coldly: "The county lord of Hong'an really has some means, just for a while, the person who intercedes has opened my eyes." I never knew when my courtiers had such a friendship with the lord of Hong'an. ”

Xiao Shao frowned, the emperor didn't say this like Zhao Guang and Empress Dowager Yide, it was reasonable for Zhao Guang and Empress Dowager Yide to intercede for Jiang Ruan, the emperor didn't have to talk like this, there were others. He looked at the emperor suspiciously, and the emperor slapped the fold on the table: "Don't think about it, Mrs. Liu has also been here." ”

Liu Min also came to intercede for Jiang Ruan, and Xiao Shao was slightly stunned.

The emperor is a little hot, such a trivial matter should not have been said in the imperial study. But what he heard one after another today was Jiang Ruan's affairs, how could he not let his heart be filled with thoughts, Liu Min has been arrogant and upright since he became an official in the court, and he has never even had a particularly familiar courtier, but today he pleaded with Jiang Ruan for the first time. He glanced at Xiao Shao, and Jiang Ruan's charming appearance came to his mind, was he really fascinated by beauty?

"Ah Shao, your relatives ......." Before the emperor finished speaking, he saw Xiao Shao and said lightly: "Since there is nothing else to do, Weichen will retire first." ”

The emperor choked up, and waved his hand for a while: "Go down." ”

The little eunuch who was waiting outside watched Xiao Shao go in and went out very quickly, and then looked at the emperor's not very good face, and said in his heart that King Jinying was a chaotic minister and thief, and even the emperor couldn't do anything about him. Father-in-law Gao in the house sighed in his heart and shook his head.

Xiao Shao's visit to the imperial study today was just to inform the emperor, and he didn't even need to get permission. Out of the imperial study, Xiao Shao went directly to the imperial history platform.

The officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory are dealing with official documents, and this errand is said to be busy and busy, and it is said that it is also leisurely. Only cases related to the royal family or important ministers will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Imperial Observatory. Most of the top people are idle and the bottom people are busy, and everyone in the officialdom knows it tacitly, and there has never been any big basket. According to the court, Hu Qianqiu's rash arrest of Jiang Ruan has already made everyone in Taichung dissatisfied.

Now there are two people in the Imperial History Observatory, Hu Qianqiu, Ke Xiuran, Ke Xiuran, and Hu Qianqiu, who live under Hu Qianqiu all the year round, only Hu Qianqiu firmly grasps the position of the court, so that Ke Xiuran has not been able to find a chance.

And the officials of the Yushitai are also roughly divided into two factions, one faction supports Hu Qianqiu, and the other faction supports Ke Xiuran, and Hu Qianqiu is naturally more self-controlled. This time, Ke Xiuran was against the imprisonment of the Hong'an County Lord.

Suddenly seeing Xiao Shao come in, the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory were taken aback, and they saw a middle-aged man in a dark blue official uniform sitting in the hall, thin and slightly dark, and his eyes were a little dark, this person was Ke Xiuran.

Ke Xiuran stood up, saluted Xiao Shao, and said, "Lord Xiao." ”

Xiao Shao glanced at him coldly and threw the things in his hand to Ke Xiuran. Ke Xiuran was stunned for a moment, saw clearly that it was a letter, and walked to the side to read the letter, his expression was already excited and couldn't help himself. He looked at Xiao Shao, his eyes were a little excited: "This..." ”

"Hu Qianqiu doesn't want to do this, so he doesn't have to do it." Xiao Shao said, and then turned around and left the Yushitai.

Leaving Ke Xiuran alone to hold the things in his hand, what was written on this letter was enough to make Yushitai clean again, admittedly, it had no effect on him, but Hu Qianqiu's official position was not guaranteed. Since Xiao Shao threw this thing, his attitude is acquiescing, Ke Xiuran will not be stopped by anyone doing anything, but why does King Jinying, who has always cared about the affairs of the court, suddenly target Hu Qianqiu.

Ke Xiuran thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered Jiang Ruan, who was still in prison now, and his heart moved, it was so, it was Hu Qianqiu who was looking for death by himself, he had already seen that the county lord of Hong'an was not easy to provoke, even if it was for Jiang Xinzhi's name, the emperor would also protect the county lord of Hong'an. Hu Qianqiu didn't know what evil he had bumped into, and locked up the lord of Hong'an. I don't want to think about it, if something happens to annoy the god of war Jiang Xinzhi, the road back to the official career can be regarded as coming to an end.

Regarding Hu Qianqiu's ending, Ke Xiuran was naturally gloating, thinking that the lord of Hong'an County was really not someone else, even King Jinying would also stand up for her. Suddenly thinking of something, he hurriedly stood up, even if he looked at King Jinying's face, he would definitely not be able to neglect this Hong'an County Lord. For now, it's better to explain to the official.

……

I don't know other places in the capital, but the atmosphere in Jiang's mansion is very heavy, Mrs. Jiang's coffin is placed in the newly set up mourning hall, the whole house is dressed in linen and filial piety, and the people who guard the mourning hall at night are the two cuckoos and Caique.

After the death of the old lady Du Jiang, the two maids had nowhere to go, and Nian Zai had worked hard with the old lady for so many years, so he was still released from the house according to the usual practice. The cuckoo and the colorful bird have now passed the double ten and seven years, both are unmarried, the cuckoo is a child, Lao Ziniang is still working on the Zhuangzi of Jiangfu, and there is still a place for one party to live in the house. Caique was bought by Mrs. Jiang from outside back then, and she has been alone.

At night, the mourning hall is even more deserted, Mrs. Jiang's coffin exudes a faint dark color, and a wind outside passes through the mourning hall, blowing the already weak white ash to the ground, and the paper money in the basin has an unburned swaying float up, as if there is an invisible hand playing with the paper money. Sler's people had already returned, and the Jiang Mansion was becoming more and more deserted, and it seemed that there were only two of them in the huge mansion.

The cuckoo got up and went to the thatched house, but he didn't return for a long time, and only Caiqu was left. The white paper lantern swayed on the beams of the room, sprinkling a mottled black shadow, which was a little infiltrating for no reason.

Caique's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but reach out and hug his arms, the moonlight outside the flower window had disappeared at some point, and it seemed that there was only a faint light in the mourning hall, and with the yin wind, this faint light seemed to be extinguished.

Suddenly, the coffin made a crisp sound, the sound was strange, as if someone was scratching the wooden board with their fingernails, and Caique's body stiffened, and a chill poured cold on her face. Walking forward uneasily, there was another loud noise, which frightened her face and her body suddenly went soft to the ground.

As soon as the cuckoo was gone, it seemed to be silent, and never came back, and the huge sound became louder and louder, almost exploding in the ears of the colorful finch, and on the ground, in the bright shadow of the lantern, a shadow suddenly appeared.

The shadow was slender and long, and its body seemed to be strangely elongated, vaguely the figure of a woman, with long hair dragging down, unusually conspicuous in the mourning hall.

Caique screamed, she couldn't keep calm anymore, this kind of scene was too penetrating, she knelt down all of a sudden, and kowtowed vigorously to the spirit card on the mourning hall: "Old lady, it's the slave and the maid who are wrong, the slave and the maid should not harm you, spare the slave and the maid, please spare the slave and the maid." ”

The black shadow did not let her go, seeing Rao coming from behind, getting closer and closer, closer and closer, Caique only felt a pair of cold hands on her neck, the long gray nails brushed past, she finally couldn't help but look up, facing a miserable white face, her eyes were black and big, her straight hair was all over her body, and her lips were covered with large black bloodstains.

Caique finally broke down and cried out loudly: "Old lady, the slave is wrong! The old lady ......" The voice stopped abruptly, and the colorful bird's eyes were dilated, and she fell softly.

The oozing ghost who was born ripped off his hood, revealing a amorous face, which was Jinsan. Jinsan took out a medicine bottle from his arms, skillfully pinched Caique's chin and fed her to eat, and Caique fell to the ground softly.

Jin San strode out, outside the window, Jin was expressionless and grabbed the cuckoo, the cuckoo was pointed, his expression was terrified, and he couldn't say a word.

"Girl, do you want to be like her?" Jin San smiled, although she was born Yanli, she looked like a demon in the eyes of the cuckoo.

The cuckoo shook his head in horror.

Jin San smiled: "Then I'll unlock your acupoint, don't scream, if it distracts me, then ......" One end of the silver hairpin in her hand emitted a faint blue light, obviously quenched with venom.

The cuckoo nodded hurriedly.

Jin San solved the acupoint, and as soon as he unlocked the acupoint, the cuckoo hurriedly asked, "How is she?" ”

"Not much." Jin San's tone was relaxed: "It's just that I've become a fool since then." ”

The cuckoo was stunned for a moment, and a sad feeling suddenly surged in his heart. She and Caique served Mrs. Jiang together in the early years, and the relationship between them and Caique was very deep over the years, but just now she was held hostage by this stranger, and she was stunned to see Caique being frightened so far. And from then on became a fool...... What good end can a maid who has become a fool do?

"Don't be distressed." Jinsan giggled, "Do you want to be a fool like her?" But I don't know that a beautiful girl like you has become a fool, so does the prince still like it? ”

The cuckoo was stunned, and he was cold. Wang Gongzi, how could she know about Wang Gongzi?

How Mrs. Jiang died, she knew better than anyone else, shocked that Caique was so bold at the same time, she also received that person's bargaining chips. The man said that as long as she could testify, he would be able to free her from slavery.

Du Juan followed Mrs. Jiang, originally planning not to marry for the rest of her life. I don't want to meet a prince, but I am just a slave, and I am not qualified to marry the prince as my wife anyway. If you can get rid of slavery, wouldn't you be able to live and fly with the prince and become a couple. So, the cuckoo was silent.
