On the third day after Xing'er and the others left, Shui gently asked the housekeeper to prepare incense candles and melons and fruits, and accompanied Chen Xu to Jiang Chuyue's tomb to worship.

Others may not know the relationship between Jiang Chuyue and Chen Xu, but Shui Qingrou knows, she stayed in Xiaohe Village and Qinghe Town for more than a year, and she also had two interactions with Jiang Chuyue, although it is not much, but from the angry eyes after Jiang Chuyue sees her every time, she knows that the little girl likes Chen Xu, but for Shui Qingrou, she will not retreat because of her status, so she met several times, and the two were not very harmonious, and later returned from Langya, and suddenly found that Jiang Chuyue's temperament had changed greatly, But looking at Chen Xu's eyes, he was even more fascinated and lonely.

But fate is impermanent, the brutal girl at the beginning died under the poisonous arrow because of saving Chen Xu's life, which is an ending that no one expected.

There is a mountain forest ten miles away from the west of Qinghe Villa, which is a cemetery rewarded by the emperor after the death of Wang Qingsleeve, and there are several farmers who are responsible for guarding it.

The barren grass and leaves are withering, and the cemetery in the cold winter is even more desolate and lonely.

At present, there are two tombs in the cemetery, a blue brick rammed earth tomb, there is a dark stone tablet standing in front, which says the tomb of the beloved wife Qingning Princess, five years have passed in a blink of an eye, the two pines and cypresses in front of the grave have been more than high, the branches and leaves are verdant and quite eye-catching, the tomb has long been covered with weeds, although there are grave keepers to take care of it, but the surrounding area has been covered by wild grass and thorns, showing loneliness and desolation.

Chen Xu stood in front of the tomb and looked at the tombstone for a long time and was silent for a long time, and then walked along the side of the woods on a path, and after about Lixu, another tomb appeared in front of him, and the surrounding area was also overgrown with wild grass and thorns, but what surprised Chen Xu was that there was still a man wearing a military uniform and a military crown standing in front of the tomb, about thirty years old, with a black short beard under his chin, a long sword hanging from his waist, and a handsome and mighty appearance.

Hearing Chen Xu and Shui's soft footsteps, the man turned around and hurriedly bowed, "Jiang Chutian meets the Marquis of Qinghe, and greets the Hou Concubine!" ”

Looking at the man's appearance, Chen Xu nodded slightly: "You are Chu Yue's eldest brother?" ”

"Exactly, Chu Tian has been serving in the northwest military camp and rarely goes home, this time he followed the Marquis of Wucheng back to attend the funeral of the general, so he stayed in Xianyang for some more time, and now the general's sacrifice period has expired, Chu Tian will follow the Marquis of Wucheng back to the barracks, and before leaving, he came to pay homage to the third sister, without informing the Hou Ye in advance, and please forgive me!" Jiang Chutian replied respectfully.

Chen Xu's heart moved slightly, and his eyes fell on Jiang Chutian's face for a moment before retracting, "Chu Yue died, Ben Hou is also very heartbroken, I came to pay my respects today, Brother Jiang wait!" ”

After Chen Xu finished speaking, he took out the melon and fruit incense candle from the basket that Shui gently carried and enshrined it in front of Jiang Chuyue's grave, and after lighting the incense candle, he bowed meticulously, his expression was very solemn and serious, and Shui Qingrou also bowed together, after the ceremony, Chen Xu stepped back a few feet, looked at the inscription on the tombstone's 'Tomb of his fiancée Jiang Chuyue', and sighed slightly and was silent for a long time.

"I didn't expect to meet Brother Jiang today, it's better to meet by chance, and invite Brother Jiang to the Hou Mansion to entertain you to fulfill the friendship of the landlord!" When the incense candles burned out, Chen Xu spoke to Jiang Chutian

"It is an honor for Chu Tian to be invited by the Hou Ye, but Chu Tian will leave for the Beidi military camp early tomorrow morning, and he will return to Meiyuan Town to join the Hou of Wucheng today, I really dare not delay the military order, and I ask the Hou Ye to forgive me!" Jiang Chutian hesitated slightly and refused.

"In this case, it is inconvenient for Ben Hou to stay together, the next time Brother Jiang comes back, remember to come to the Hou Mansion as a guest, I have known Miss Chu Yue for a long time, and I am also very familiar with Ling Zun, don't be too outside!"

"Hou Ye rest assured, next time Chu Tian comes back, he will definitely visit the Hou Mansion, and my father has also sent several letters to let Chu Tian have time to visit Hou Ye, but the military affairs are not idle, and there are still many things to arrange at home today, Chu Tian will not bother Hou Ye and Concubine Hou, and say goodbye!"

"Brother Jiang, go slowly!" Chen Xu nodded slightly, watching Jiang Chutian leave along the path, and then with a few sounds of driving, a sound of horses' hooves went from near and far.

"Jiang Chutian...... What did he do all of a sudden? Hearing that the sound of horses' hooves gradually disappeared, Chen Xu withdrew his eyes and pinched his chin full of doubts.

Jiang Beiting has three sons and a daughter, Jiang Chutian is the eldest, Jiang Chuxing, who has been dating many times before, is the second, Jiang Chuyue is the third in the family, and there is also the youngest son named Jiang Chuyun, but Chen Xu has only seen Jiang Chuxing and Jiang Chuyue, and the other two have never met, but Chen Xu can also recognize it just by looking at their appearance, Jiang Chutian and Jiang Chuxing are seven or eight points similar in appearance, and they are brothers at first glance.

And Jiang Chutian is still in the northern military camp, is the subordinate of Wucheng Hou Wang Li, although he is only a lieutenant now, but the Jiang family has now become one of the top nobles in Daqin, Jiang Pu, Jiang Heng, Jiang Hu, Jiangbei Pavilion are all considered high-ranking officials in Daqin, although Jiang Chuxing, these second-generation officials are not too high, but as long as they develop slowly, the descendants of these families will eventually climb step by step to the middle and senior positions of the military and political affairs, coupled with the continuous marriage between the families, and finally form a complex and huge official family, Intricate control of vast wealth and power.

Although Jiang Chutian is not familiar with Chen Xu, he may know the inside story of the Yanmen Pass incident.

However, it seems that he still has some scruples and does not want to have too many entanglements with himself.

Even if there is Jiang Chuyue's relationship, but this kind of marriage that is not established at all has no love at all, and he himself will not care too much about a dead sister, how can it be regarded as a bond of relationship.

"What is the husband thinking?" On the way back, the two rode side by side, and the water gently looked at Chen Xu who was bowing his head and pondering all the way, if it weren't for the horse's spirituality, maybe he could throw Chen Xu into the ditch several times.

"I'm wondering why Jiang Chutian suddenly came to worship Chu Yue?" Chen Xu came back to his senses and said.

"Isn't the husband talking about the Yanmen Pass?" Shui asked softly, suspiciously.

"Well, Wang Li is in charge of the northern military camp, the matter of Yanmen Pass is very tightly blocked, there is almost no news from the people and the court, and the letter is still being held by me in Zhongshu Province without approval and issuance, but after all, it has been delayed for three months, it is estimated that Wang Li and others are also a little nervous and want to know how the court handled the letter, they must not find out the news when they go to the Criminal Department, could it be that Wang Li wants to test me through Jiang Chutian?"

"If the Jiang family also stands with the Wang family, I'm afraid it will be a lot more difficult for the husband to deal with this matter!" The water was gentle, and I felt a little nervous for a while.

"You're right, how many people in the world want to enter my Hou Mansion to climb the relationship, Jiang Chutian actually refused, depending on the situation, he must know a lot of inside information, as well as what is the relationship between him and Wang Li, do Jiang Beiting and others know about this matter, and do they instruct him how to do it......" Chen Xu's mind kept rolling countless questions.

"Why don't you knock on Jiang Pu on the side, the Jiang family is now only Jiang Pu is still an official in Xianyang, Jiang Chutian returns to Xianyang, and many things must be discussed with the elders of the clan!" The water gently reminded.

"That's a solution, I'll inquire tomorrow!" Chen Xu nodded.

Since arranging for Ma Teng, Li Gui, Chen Yong and others to inquire near Yanmen County, more than two months have passed but no news has come back, so Chen Xu's main focus is still on the construction of the library, and now that the construction of the library is on the right track, he doesn't need to worry too much, so he will slowly shift his focus to this matter.

The next morning, Chen Xu specially invited Jiang Pu to drink tea at the Sanwei Tea House.

And Jiang Pu seemed to be prepared after getting the invitation, and soon took the car to the Sanwei Tea House to meet Chen Xu.

"Pu is late, please forgive the Hou Ye!" After meeting, Jiang Pu hurriedly apologized.

"Lord Jiang doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat!" Chen Xu invited Jiang Pu to sit down, and then poured the freshly brewed hot tea himself, and after a simple greeting, Jiang Pu felt a lot more comfortable.

"Good tea, fragrant, soft in the mouth, fragrant on the teeth and cheeks!" Jiang Pu put down the teacup and sighed with an extremely comfortable expression.

"This is last year's Ziyunxian tea, there is not much left, there is leisure today, I especially want Lord Jiang to come to taste the tea, and wait for the new tea to go on the market after the beginning of spring, and then invite Lord Jiang to taste it!" Chen Xu smiled and filled the teacup for Jiang Pu again.

"Thank you, thank you, the number of Ziyunxian tea is too small, and the lower officials can't buy it every year, this year is the first time to taste it, Hou Ye invited, Pu is welcome......" Jiang Pu picked up the teacup, sniffed the steaming tea mist, and then slowly tasted the taste of the tea with his eyes slightly closed, and at the same time kept thinking about how to answer in his heart.

The last time we stepped on our backs together in the Chinese Medicine Museum, Chen Xu asked about the folk customs of Zhao Di, and after thinking about it, he guessed that it might be related to the destruction of Jingbian Temple by the soldiers, so after hurriedly returning home, he wrote a letter to his nephew Jiang Chutian, asking him to explain the cause and effect of this incident in detail.

A month later, he received a reply from Jiang Chutian, in which he explained the matter of Yanmen Pass in detail clearly, although Jiang Chutian's title and military rank were not high, but he used to be regarded as a gentleman in Xianyang City, and his age was not much different from Bai Zhen Wang Li and others, and they often rode horses together to hunt and play, and their feelings were good, so after Wang Li took charge of the Northwest Military Camp, Jiang Chutian was also transferred by Wang Li to his side as a personal lieutenant in the general's camp, and the two often ate and drank together to practice martial arts. Jiang Chutian was by Wang Li's side, and he clearly knew everything that happened in it, and even remembered every word Wang Li had said.

And at that time, Jiang Chutian didn't feel that Wang Li's behavior was anything wrong, and all the officials and soldiers who accompanied Wang Li didn't feel excessive.

Although there were some civilian casualties in the conflict at that time, the angry people were quickly suppressed by the guards of Yanmen Pass, and the more than 100 people arrested were soon returned home with canes or flogs, and everyone thought that this was the end, but the next few months evolved more and more serious, with the spread and fermentation of time, civilians began to gather in several counties near Yanmen Pass to make trouble, and local officials could only let the police officers suppress and drive away, Later, it developed to the point that the people attacked the patrol soldiers and poisoned the war horses, Wang Li, who had never experienced such a civil unrest, had reached the point where it was difficult to ride a tiger at this time, so he could only order the soldiers to continue to suppress, killed dozens of bandit leaders who took the lead in making trouble, wounded and arrested hundreds of people, and in July and August last year, the matter had intensified to the point that it could not be suppressed, Wang Li had to write a letter home to ask Wang Ben and Wang Jian for help, and at that time Wang Ben was still in Lingnan to conquer Baiyue, and Wang Jian was already seriously ill and dying at that time. Wang Jian could only arrange for a group of his personal guards to go to the northern army camp to protect Wang Li......

Jiang Chutian didn't know about Xianyang, but what happened in Yanmen Pass was very clear from beginning to end, and everything was written clearly in the letter, and not long ago Wang Jian died, Jiang Chutian went home with Wang Li's funeral, Jiang Pu once again inquired in detail about the beginning and process of the incident, and concluded that Chen Xu wanted to investigate this matter.

Because this matter has developed into the current situation, it is already very serious, far beyond the ordinary civil unrest.
