Since he was impeached by the officials of the Haozhou government, Hua Liang has been detained at home and is not allowed to go out, but the life of Hua Liang is not so easy.

After all, he was a henchman of Yu Chengxiang's faction, and he quickly asked Yu Zhengchang for help.

"It's easy to settle this matter. Wouldn't the rumors that your son marry the granddaughter of the Qiao Governor's Mansion are self-defeating? Yu Zhengchang said casually.

If it is the prefect of Haozhou, he can use his position to suppress it, "Prefect Qiao's mansion is far away in Nanyang, we just want to marry, and it is estimated that his family will not agree." Hua Wanyan shook his head in embarrassment.

"There are enough benefits, are you afraid that he won't agree?" Yu Zhengchang sneered: "However, I have one condition. ”

"If you can do it, you will do it."

"You send the girl to the palace, I write a letter back to Beijing, how about recommending Qiao Huchen as the chief manager? I don't believe that he has been squatting in the pit of the prefect for decades, and he has never thought of moving it. Yu Zhengchang said. If he can win over his Yue's family through Qiao's Governor's Mansion, the Deng family, this transaction is not a loss.

The official system of this dynasty is divided into the central power and the local government, and the local government consists of the province of Xingzhongshu, the Xuanhui Envoy, the Zhulu Wanhu Mansion, the Zhulu Governor's Office, the Sanfu, the Prefectures, the Counties and the Army. From the prefect of the fourth rank to the head of the third grade, I am afraid that everyone will agree.

Hua Wanyan was overjoyed and responded one by one.

Anyway, he has many girls, and it is nothing to send one into the palace, but after thinking about it, he is still ready to send Hua Jin, because among the sisters, she has the strongest will, and if she gives birth to a son and a half daughter, it will be regarded as winning glory for the family.

Of course, giving people back to others, the words must be high-sounding and righteous, and the daughter will think about the family in the future.

"It's useless to blame your father, you usually don't take a good look at your brother, let him get into trouble, and your father can't protect him, so he has to send you to the palace, the noble man promised to save his life, if you want to blame it, blame your father." As he spoke, he even squeezed out two cloudy tears.

Hua Jin smiled bitterly in his heart, but said in his mouth: "It is the daughter's duty to share the worries of her father." ”

She knew very well in her heart that what her father decided would not change easily, in order to make herself suffer less on the road and get the support of the family in the palace, she had to obey her father unconditionally now.

Hua Wanyan personally went to Qiao's house and told Qiao Chaoyang's uncle Qiao Guangkuan about it.

Qiao Guangkuan wrote a letter to his father that night.

When Governor Qiao saw the letter, he immediately replied with the word "may". He could scarcely believe that such a good thing could happen to him, and it was like a dream, and he grinned until his arm was blue.

Qiao Guangkuan saw his father's letter and informed Mrs. Qiao of the matter.

Mrs. Qiao immediately sent Qiao Xinyan's Geng sticker to the Hua family.

Hua Wanyan was overjoyed and took his son's Geng sticker to Qiao's family. Three days later, the Hua family sent a peace of mind gift and asked the Qiao family to announce the marriage contract between the two families.

According to the meaning of Mrs. Qiao's Deng, this was not told to Qiao Xinyan in advance, just let the Liu family know, but Liu had already been vaccinated by Qiao Chaoyang, although he was forced by the old lady to respond to this matter, he couldn't pretend to be okay in his heart, so he had to discuss the idea with his henchman Lai Wang's house, but he didn't expect to be overheard by Qiao Xinyan.

To say that this girl is also scheming, after hearing it, she still has a calm face, she eats and sleeps when she should eat, but in the middle of the night, she rolls up the jewelry and silver in two, and runs away over the wall.

I don't know where I hid in the corner all night, and at dawn I rented a carriage to find Qiao Chaoyang.

The maids who waited couldn't find anyone, so they shouted out and let the old lady Deng know.

The old lady also guessed that she might have gone to Dingyuan, but when she sent someone to ask, Qiao Chaoyang insisted that she had never seen Qiao Xinyan at all.

His grandfather and grandmother were more ruthless than he imagined, and his parents were more cowardly than he imagined, and he was the only one who came out of this matter.

"So far, I have only one way, but I need my sister's cooperation." Qiao Chaoyang said coldly.

"You say, whatever you want. Anyway, I'm dead and won't go back. Qiao Xinyan said categorically.

"I'll get a death row prisoner out, put on your clothes, carry them back and tell them that you are dead, there will be no more Qiao Xinyan, you will live incognito, and you will no longer be the third girl of the Qiao family, are you willing?"

Qiao Xinyan was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded: "I am willing, as long as I don't marry Hua Liang, I can do anything." ”

"There are no more maids and servants, and you can't marry into a wealthy family, and you may have to farm the land yourself to eat, are you willing to do it?" Qiao Chaoyang asked solemnly.

"I do." Qiao Xinyan gritted her teeth and said.

Qiao Chaoyang smiled, "This is my sister." ”

Just after the autumn, a group of prisoners were about to be executed, so Qiao Chaoyang got a female prisoner out, and after he died, he put on Qiao Xinyan's clothes and soaked in water for a few days, until the face was no longer recognizable, and he hired a few people to carry it to the gate of Qiao's house.

As soon as Mrs. Qiao heard about this, she immediately kicked and beat the people at the door far away.

"The reputation of the girls in our family cannot be ruined by you young people!"

"If you chew your tongue again, I'll arrest you and take you to the government immediately."

Even if Qiao Xinyan is missing, Mrs. Qiao doesn't think it's a big deal, it's a big deal to find a maid to marry her in her name, and outsiders don't know about it. Tell the truth to the Hua family, and forgive them for not daring to shout.

Anyway, Qiao Guangli is not assertive, it has always been Liu's idea to have something in the second room, and Liu's is just a village girl with limited knowledge, give some silver to coax, and then scare Qiao Chaoyang's future, and it will be quiet.

I didn't think that Yuan Shusheng, the magistrate of Haozhou Mansion, came over.

"This official has received a complaint, and your mansion may be involved in a case of an unknown female corpse." He said with a serious face.

Nanyang prefect is the fourth grade, Haozhou pushes the official seven grades, and when Qiao Guangkuan, the uncle of the Qiao family, saw Yuan Shusheng, his waist was straight, and he looked like he was ignoring it.

Yuan Shusheng didn't eat his set, and said directly: "The girl from your mansion threw herself into the lake and died, and was sent to the door by the fisherman on her own initiative, you don't recognize it, why did you even hurt the benefactor?" ”

Qiao Guangkuan sneered: "Don't talk nonsense, my girl is staying in the house, how can you curse her?" ”

How do you think that Qiao Chaoyang suddenly appeared at the door, "Yes or no, just call my sister out to take a look." ”

Qiao Guangkuan is still dying, "My innocent daughter's family, how can you see a foreign man?" ”

Qiao Chaoyang said: "It's okay if you can't see a foreign man, I'll just go in and take a look and come out and talk back to the adult." ”

He didn't wait for Qiao Guangkuan to reply, he had already gone in.

Qiao Guangkuan's face was so angry that his face turned pale, but in front of Yuan Shusheng, he couldn't say anything.

Qiao Chaoyang quickly brought Xiangqiao out, "My sister has been missing for many days, I brought out the maid beside her, if the adults have any questions, just ask her."

Yuan Shusheng glanced at Xiangqiao coldly, "Take her family to the yamen." ”

Qiao Guangkuan panicked at this time, and said with a smile: "I, as an uncle, don't know much about my niece's disappearance, after all, the girl's family is big, and she needs to avoid suspicion." Maybe this evil slave deliberately murdered the master. ”

Yuan Shusheng asked Xiangqiao to identify the body.

"This is the one my girl wore before she disappeared!" Xiangqiao said.

"Since it's my niece's body, the grass people will be carried and buried." Qiao Guangkuan tried to calm himself down.

Yuan Shusheng glanced at him very strangely, "Aren't your families going to take a closer look?" Even if the person is really from your family? I should let his parents meet him, but what about his parents?"

Qiao Guangkuan couldn't say that Liu and Qiao Guangli were both under house arrest, so he only said: "Why don't you invite the second master and the second wife to come over!" ”

The people flew away.

Qiao Guangli was at a loss, looking depressed, but Liu heard the news of his daughter's throwing into the lake, but he ran out as fast as crazy, and cried next to the corpse.

"My poor Yan'er, these black-hearted people have forced you to death!"

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers all pricked up their ears to listen to Liu's crying.

"It's all to blame for the Hua family's livestock that should be cut with a thousand knives, and you have been forced to marry so many innocent girls! If you go, my mother doesn't want to live. ”

No matter what the Liu family usually looks like, but Qiao Xinyan is her biological daughter after all, and her feelings are very deep, and everyone who cries this cry is in tears.

The Qiao family didn't dare to let her cry outside like this, and Mrs. Qiao was busy making people carry her back into the house. (To be continued.) )
