Chen Xuelian took a few deep breaths, tried to adjust her emotions, and continued: "When I received the news, I immediately asked my father to ride a horse to report to the official, but I didn't expect that there were people in ambush on the road outside the city. ”

"You mean, when the Jiang family had an accident, Prince Rui's son was still outside the city?" Shen Tianshu asked with a trembling voice.

"But isn't it, they were originally looking for Dr. Jiang to see Prince Rui, and they saved my man on the way before they learned that something had happened to the Jiang family, and they immediately rushed to help. It's a pity that if they come half a day earlier, maybe something will happen to the Jiang family......"

Chen Xuelian sighed deeply before continuing: "Although none of them were saved, they finally beat that group of thieves away. Don't you know, at that time, most of the ground of Jiang's mansion was splashed with oil, and if it was a little later, this mansion and all the corpses would have been burned to ashes. ”

When Chen Xuelian said this, her voice finally couldn't help choking, and her hands were clasped tightly together, revealing the green tendons on the back of her hands.

Even after three years, as long as she thought about it, she still seemed to be able to smell the pungent smell of blood and disgusting oil in the Jiang family's old mansion back then.

As she spoke, Shen Tianshu's thoughts also returned to the last day of his previous life......

As Chen Xuelian said, the Jiang family's house is too big, and her yard is at the end of the garden.

When there was an accident in the courtyard in front of him, Shen Tianshu was reading a book in his courtyard, unaware of the impending disaster.

It wasn't until her brother and sister-in-law fled with her niece in her arms to report that she knew that something had happened at home.

Before she could figure out what was going on, her sister-in-law had already stuffed the child into her arms, and her brother directly stuffed her and the child into the big closet and hid them.

She hid in the closet with the child in her arms, and heard her brother's angry questioning outside, her sister-in-law's screaming and crying, and her mother-in-law's maids crying and begging for mercy...... Yet everything ended up in a terrible silence.

The brother and sister-in-law hid her and the children in the closet, which only bought them a little more time, but did not save their lives.

"This lady, are you okay?" Chen Xuelian suddenly stopped talking and asked in a worried tone.

Shen Tianshu came back to his senses and realized that he had already burst into tears again.

She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "It's okay, you go on, what happened to the Jiang family?" ”

"Later, Prince Rui led people to repel the gangsters, but unfortunately not a single one of them could be kept, and all the injured and captured people committed suicide directly by poisoning. The people of Prince Rui's Mansion not only buried everyone in the Jiang family, but also looked around for the black-clothed men who committed the crime, but unfortunately they didn't find any useful clues. But it's no wonder that they can't be blamed, after all, the people sent by the imperial court haven't found anything.

"The guards of Prince Rui's Mansion stayed in the county for more than two months, and they didn't withdraw until someone from the palace took over Jiang's mansion. At that time, thanks to them, the people in the county were panicked, sad and scared, and worried about whether those people would come back to do evil, because they made everyone feel a lot more at ease. ”

After Chen Xuelian finished speaking, seeing that Shen Tianshu was still wiping her tears, she patted her shoulder very understandingly and said: "Everyone is the same, when the Jiang family had an accident, I really cried tears dry, and now I take over the errand of cleaning the study, just to find some thoughts for myself, and I will feel more comfortable when I come to clean it every day." ”

"You're kind of an idiot, too." Shen Tianshu said with emotion.

"Where am I?" Chen Xuelian shook her head and said, "There is a girl Zhang who studied medicine with the county lord back then, who has been guarding the Jiang family for the past three years, usually helping people in the county to see doctors, and often going out to give free clinics and medicine to poor people, that is an idiot!" ”

"Mu Qiu?" Shen Tianshu blurted out in surprise.

"Yes, yes, it's called Zhang Muqiu, this lady, do you know Miss Zhang?"

"I've heard her name, but I didn't expect her to stay in the Jiang family's old mansion for the past few years." Shen Tianshu really didn't expect it.

Zhang Muqiu is a hard-working person, when he was sixteen years old, because his brother needed money to get married, it happened that there was a wealthy businessman in the city who had just died of his son, and he was looking for a suitable woman for his birthday.

Twenty taels of silver is already equivalent to a year's income of the Zhang family, not to mention marrying a daughter-in-law for his son, it is enough to buy a small courtyard in the city.

Although Zhang Muqiu has reached the age of being able to say that he is married, it stands to reason that he can also have a bride price when he marries.

But in the local area, according to the conditions of the Zhang family, if you marry your daughter, you can get a bride price of four or five taels of silver at most, and the family has to buy her a dowry, and there is not much left inside and out.

It's different to marry a yin family, the dowry and wedding clothes are all prepared by the man's family, and the Zhang family can directly drop twenty taels of silver.

Since ancient times, money and silk have moved people's hearts, and for the marriage of twenty taels of silver and their son, the parents of the Zhang family couldn't help but think crookedly.

They spent money to buy Mr. Yin Yang and changed Zhang Muqiu's birth date to coincide with the dead son of the rich merchant.

Although Zhang Muqiu tried his best to resist, his arm couldn't twist his thigh after all, and he was directly drugged by his family and sent to the sedan chair.

If Jiang Tong hadn't happened to pass by and bumped into him at that time, Zhang Muqiu would have been sealed alive in a coffin and buried underground.

After Jiang Tong rescued the person, he knew the ins and outs of the matter, and directly went to the local government to bring Zhang Muqiu's household registration out of the Zhang family and set it up as a female household.

Although this is not in accordance with the rules, Jiang Tong, as the lord of Gaoyang County, who is personally appointed by the emperor, is unlikely to be embarrassed by the local government in such a trivial matter that does not involve principles and interests.

So Zhang Muqiu successfully got out of his home that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and followed Jiang Tong to learn medical skills for a few years.

Shen Tianshu thought about it carefully, when the Jiang family had an accident, Zhang Muqiu was indeed not in Lai'an County, but fortunately escaped the catastrophe.

It's just that I didn't expect this girl to be so dead-eyed, and she actually stayed in the Jiang family for three years.

Thinking of this, Shen Tianshu suddenly remembered that when he followed Wang Yuanjiu in before, he had caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the end of the corridor.

I can't remember who it was at the time, but now I remember, it's not Zhang Muqiu!
