Xue Qing was stunned, and then cried and laughed: "Childe, this is... Was blasted out by the female monarch? ”

Jiang Chengyi pursed his chapped lips and said aggrievedly: "I'm just thirsty and want to drink some wine." She... And they blasted me out. You see, as far as the eye can see, the lady of the Manjing City is as unreasonable as her. ”

Xue Qing almost couldn't hold back, and said with a smile: "If the son feels thirsty... Drinking tea or water is, why drink alcohol? Childe is addicted to alcohol, right? Madame is also afraid that your body will be injured by drinking again... That's why you're not allowed to drink..."

Jiang Chengyi glared at him fiercely, and said forcefully: "What kind of drinking hurts your body?" My old wounds have long since healed... I was thirsty, and it was her arrogance that drove me out. Xue Qing, you still speak for her? ”

Xue Qing couldn't help but smile: "Childe... Why do you have to coax her in the future to make her angry? ”

Jiang Chengyi gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Who wants to coax her?" Whoever loves to coax will coax away! ”

He was shouting indignantly.

But suddenly I heard a cold sentence from behind me: "I heard... Someone is not willing to reconcile with me? And say I'm unreasonable? ”

Jiang Chengyi felt a chill on his back, got goosebumps, and immediately stiffened his body because of these words.

He raised his eyes, and saw that Xue Qing, who was standing in front of him, also turned pale, and felt that it was not good, he picked it up like a spring, spun lightly under his feet, turned around and turned to Mu Yun, who came out of the mansion at some point, with an embarrassed smile on his face, and said nervously: "Ayi... Pander to.. Ayi, do you listen to me? ”

Mu Yun glared at him, looked at the street where people were coming and going, and said angrily: "Come in and say, don't be embarrassed on the street!" ”

She then turned and walked towards the house.

Jiang Chengyi hurriedly caught up and coaxed around Mu Yun.

Xue Qing couldn't help laughing, and saw that the husband and wife were walking away, so he handed over the reins of the cow to the little servant, and entered the mansion with a large volume of cases moved from the Dongfu Division.

Jiang Chengyi entered the mansion and followed Mu Yun all the way and said good things.

Mu Yun had a cold face and ignored him.

waited until she took Jiang Chengyi into the inner hall and went to the side room.

Jiang Chengyi saw two side dishes and a small wine pot made of clay pottery in the hall, and said in his heart: "You... You... You allow me to drink? ”

Mu Yun said expressionlessly: "That's the wine I made with seasonal fruits, and the taste of the wine is not strong, and it is not something that hurts the body." I wanted to kick you out, make you two side dishes with wine, and then take out this fruit wine to surprise you... But I didn't expect it... You're sitting in front of the house and you're talking about what I'm not. Seemingly... This wine and dish is prepared incorrectly. ”

As she spoke, she made a gesture to put the food and drink on the table and take it away.

Jiang Chengyi immediately stood in front of her and said flatteringly: "Don't, don't... Don't. Ayi, good Ayi, it's me who is bad! It's my fault, it's my careful eye. You're the best..."

He had a bit of a coquettish sting.

The corners of Mu Yun's mouth twitched, and he snorted: "Look at your virtue, if you give a little benefit, you will immediately lose your dignity... I really wonder how there are so many people in this mortal world who admire you? ”

Jiang Chengyi said solemnly: "It's not a benefit from anyone, I'm so happy..."

Mu Yun snickered inwardly, but on the surface, he pretended to be casual and said: "The New Year is coming... Today is the last day of the court, so you can rest at home. It's not too tiring to run around all day. ”

She was very disgusted, and when she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Jiang Chengyi pulled her and said, "Why don't you have a drink together?" ”

Mu Yun angrily said to the door, "Huh? Look at Xue Qing waiting outside... Li Ying also arrived. He worked hard to deliver the news, and he had to push the fruit and vegetable cart to bring you the news of Qianji, Fourth Uncle Fang, and Yan Ji. Can't you hang them and make me happy? ”

Although she hopes that Jiang Chengyi can accompany her more, but now that she is looking at the situation in the capital, she is not very willing to let him delay her business because of herself.

Jiang Chengyi didn't follow: "You are here to accompany me... They talk about their business, and they don't conflict with you? "I love Search.com

Mu Yun glanced at him and provoked trouble: "Didn't you forget, you were still talking about mine just now... Right now, you're still commanding me? ”

Jiang Chengyi couldn't cry or laugh.

Mu Yun snorted arrogantly, and then brushed his sleeves away, not taking a single cloud with him.

Jiang Chengyi smiled helplessly, sighed, and knew that she didn't want to disturb herself, so she took her kindness and let Xue Qing go to the study with Li Ying, who specially went to Jiang Mansion to deliver the news of the Water Pavilion.

Xue Qing saw that he had lost his temper and was as warm as jade as usual, so he knew that Mu Yun had subdued him again. It's funny at the same time, but also envious. envy the harmony and sweetness between Mu Yun and Jiang Chengyi. At the same time, I also miss Qianshan who is still far away.

Jiang Chengyi entered the study and just sat down in front of the desk. Li Ying saluted him slightly, and then talked about the Yangzhou cargo ship.

"In accordance with the instructions of the son, the subordinates have transferred the records of cargo ships transported to the capital from various ferries in Yangzhou. I also paid special attention to the movements of Yangzhou Thorn Shi Su Blade these days. Know... Two months ago, Su Jian had just increased taxes between the mountains and tenants... Thousands of stone taels were looted, and a lot of gold and silver treasures were stolen, and they were secretly packed into wooden boxes and secretly presented to the Taiwei Mansion.

The other day... The eight wooden boxes that Jing Ting and Sanyu found at Caoyun Ferry Port were supposed to be the treasure chests that Su Jian used to enter and dedicate to Taiwei's Mansion... Before the New Year's Festival, Deng Guozhong was cautious and cautious, and ordered Su Jian to make a secret pavilion under the wooden box, place New Year's goods above, and hide treasures in the dark pavilion.

After the cargo ship arrived at Caoyun Ferry, he ordered eight boxes of treasures to circle the city, and unloaded the rest of the goods in the boxes before moving them into Deng Yuan's mansion. This has been confirmed by the carpenter's shop in Yangzhou, where each of the eight chests has a specially crafted dark pavilion. It was not until Deng Yuan took out all the treasures, sorted out the books, and sent them to the Taiwei Mansion. It is estimated that the total of the eight boxes of treasure is 4,000 stones. ”

Jiang Chengyi's heavy black eyes showed a hint of anger: "Due to the heavy flood and drought this year, the autumn harvest of the national dynasty is not abundant. Especially along the river in Yangzhou, large tracts of fields were flooded... This Su Blade was able to find a treasure of 4,000 stones from the people who had no harvest?! ”

Xue Qing replied: "Maybe it's because of this... When Sanyu and Jing Ting found out about this... The captain was in a hurry to cover up the past. If this matter is exposed, His Majesty will severely punish the Deng family. In previous years, the Taiwei used Su Blade's hand to loot the people's fat, and His Majesty only turned a blind eye to it. But this year is different, the flood and drought have followed, and even the national treasury has almost been emptied for disaster relief. The captain even accepted bribes at this juncture... In order to stabilize the people's hearts, His Majesty will not continue to sit idly by. ”

Jiang Chengyi hated: "But at this time... Exposing this matter will not uproot the cancer of Deng's family. ”

Xue Qing was stunned and said, "What does Childe mean... Just let it go? ”

Jiang Chengyi forbeared: "It's not that you let it go. This incident is just the tip of the iceberg of what the Deng family has done over the years. Since you want to remove the carrion, you still need to cut it off with a knife. ”

Xue Qing was silent for a moment and said, "Childe is saying... Borrowing the layout of the Marquis of Huaiyin, cooperating with him, drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and completely destroying the power of the Deng clan in the government and the opposition? ”

Jiang Chengyi was silent, lowering his eyes and thinking.

Xue Qing never got a reply, but looking at his expression, he knew that his thoughts were probably guessed.

After a while, Jiang Chengyi suddenly looked up at Xue Qing and said, "Sanyu.... How did you find out that someone had sent eight boxes containing treasures to Deng Yuan's mansion? As Li Ying said... The wooden box also contained New Year's goods, since the porter who transported the goods ran all over the city, and finally generously sent it to Deng Yuan's mansion, it would not make people suspicious. At that time, it will be said that it is a New Year's gift purchased in the house. No one will find out.

Even if Deng Guozhong is a thief, he is afraid that transporting treasures into the mansion during the day will arouse suspicion, and when he acts at night, Deng Yuan should not be stupid enough to let others find out. So how did Sanyu know? Although the forbidden army changed guards and patrolled the city with the city defense army, it would not be... I happened to see the scene of Deng Yuan ordering people to carry treasures. If Sanyu had known about this, he would have told me and Jing Ting about this clue immediately, instead of delaying it for nearly half a month... More on that at this point. ”

After Xue Qing heard this, he also felt strange in his heart.

Li Ying seemed to suddenly remember something, and interjected: "Subordinate... A few days ago, I heard Uncle Fang say... Sanyu always goes to the letter shop in the north of the city these days. Xu is... Whose letters were received? ”

Jiang Chengyi was not surprised, he had already expected this in his heart, and muttered to himself: "I'm just afraid... These letters were either from Jianye or from Linhe. ”

Xue Qing said: "So... Come to think of it, the day when the Deng Mansion will fall is not far off. ”

"In any case, in the case of the explosion, we still need enough evidence to prove that the final culprits who instructed Hengye Gongzi to cause the explosion were Fu Bo and Fu Zhongwen." Jiang Chengyi went around and brought up the matter again.

Xue Qing asked, "Other than that... How does Childe plan to settle the case of Shi An's death? ”

Jiang Chengyi said: "There is no need to worry about this matter. Deng Yuan stayed in Dongfu Siduo for one day, and Emperor Wei became more suspicious of the Deng family. The more anxious Deng Guozhong is, the more likely he is to make mistakes. It would have been impossible to close the case if Shi An's death had been made... Since this game is just for the Deng family... We don't need to investigate either. When the deadline given by His Majesty is reached, Deng Yuan can be released. ”

Only then did Xue Qing understand the reason why Jiang Chengyi was desperate to completely offend Deng Guozhong yesterday and continued to detain Deng Yuan in the Dongfu Division.

However, what they didn't expect was that Deng Guozhong did not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower in order to rescue Deng Yuan this time.

The cold wind blew overnight, and the streets and alleys of Luoyang City, as well as the teahouses and restaurants, had already spread the news that Wang He was the culprit of the explosion.
