Chapter Eighty-Five: Protecting Stewards
Ji Ruhuan responded, "Just ask, has Mother Qiu heard anything about him?"
Qiu's mother paused, and replied with a smile, "What can he do, he is a good person, he is very popular in the house, and he has never had a grudge against anyone, and he has been a warehouse manager for so many years, and nothing has happened." ”
Ji Ruhuan replied with a little disappointment, "Really?"
Qiu's mother didn't answer again, but changed the topic and said, "It's not too early, Miss should rest early, and the slave maid will prepare hot water for Miss to bathe." ”
Ji Ruhuan's assassination did not publicize it, and he didn't want the emperor to hear about it, and on the morning of the third day of Ji Ruhuan's assassination, the emperor was furious.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the Kyoto Mansion was assassinated, and the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion was of course inevitably reprimanded and ordered to investigate the matter carefully.
Those who can sit in the position of Jingzhao Mansion Yin in this Kyoto are all human spirits, of course they know that this matter is not something he can find out, but the emperor spoke, and he couldn't do nothing, so he made a fuss in Kyoto, checking assassins everywhere to catch bandits.
As a result, the assassination of Miss Ji of the Zhenguo General's Mansion and the newly sealed Fengyang County Lord spread in Kyoto like this, and the trouble was in an uproar.
Ji Ruhuan held her head with her hands, and when she heard Qingju talking about the rumors she heard from the outside, she frowned slightly and looked helpless, why could she always be pushed to the forefront inexplicably?
"Can the Kyoto Yuwei outside be withdrawn?" asked Ji Ruhuan.
Seeing Qing Ju shaking his head and responding, "Where can I be?" Then Lord Yin of Jingzhao Mansion can say that if this assassin is not investigated for a day, Yu Wei will not be able to withdraw for a day, and you must ensure your safety, Miss." ”
Ji Ruhuan sighed, stood up, and said, "Change my clothes for me, I'll go see my father." ”
Li Zhi was guarding the door of the study, and when he saw Ji Ruhuan coming, he gave Ji Ruhuan a salute first, and said loudly, "General, the eldest lady is here." ”
Ji Ruhuan looked at the closed study door, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Father is seeing a guest?"
Li Zhi replied with a smile, "No, Steward Wu and Steward Xu are inside, and the general is explaining things to them." ”
Ji Ruhuan nodded, let Qingju Qingmei wait at the door with a large group of Yu Wei, and pushed the door into the study by himself, not wanting Steward Wu and Steward Xu to come to the door, presumably planning to leave.
"The eldest lady is fine, the general is waiting for the eldest lady, and the old slave and others will retire first. Steward Wu said with a smile, and Steward Xu stood behind Steward Wu and followed Shi Li, but did not speak.
Ji Ruhuan glanced at the two of them a few times, then nodded slightly, crossed Steward Wu's housekeeper Xu, and bent over to salute, "Daddy is fine." ”
General Ji raised his head and beckoned to Ji Ruhuan with a smile, "Huan'er came here to sit, why did you come here today to find your father?"
Ji Ruhuan went over to the vacant seat next to General Ji's desk and sat down, watched Steward Wu Xu come out of the study door, and answered, "Can't you still look for your father if you're okay?" Huan'er just missed her father, so she came here to see her father. ”
General Ji smiled and stretched out his hand to nod Ji Ruhuan's forehead, "You girl, this sweet mouth is becoming more and more deceiving." ”
Ji Ruhuan pouted, "I'm telling the truth." ”
General Ji responded with a smile, "Okay, Huan'er is telling the truth." ”
Looking at the closed study door, Ji Ruhuan's face straightened and said, "Daddy, is there an eyebrow about the assassin?"
General Ji sighed and shook his head, "Huan'er is the smartest, it shouldn't be difficult to see that this is obviously someone who deliberately found a dead man in order to drive a wedge between my Ji family and the Wu family, and it will definitely not be found out for a while." ”
Ji Ruhuan stared at his father, "What about Steward Xu?
General Ji was stunned, looked away, and answered, "I have already checked Steward Xu, and this matter has nothing to do with him." ”
Ji Ruhuan frowned, but he didn't expect his father to take Steward Xu out of this matter, and he was silent for a long time before Ji Ruhuan spoke, "Daddy, the assassination, let's not talk about whether someone is trying to divide the relationship between our Ji family and the Wu family, but the assassination is by no means a show, if it weren't for the daughter's alertness, she would have died at the hands of the assassin." ”
After a while, General Ji spoke a little heavily, "Huan'er, for my father...... I'm sorry for you. ”
Ji Ruhuan frowned slightly, Ji Ruhuan knew in her heart that her father absolutely loved her daughter, but what was the reason why her father actually wanted to protect this Xu Steward and not investigate the assassin from Xu Steward?
The question in his heart that had been unanswered could not be answered, Ji Ruhuan simply asked directly, "Daddy, tell me, who is this Xu Steward, why doesn't Daddy dare to touch him?"
General Ji was stunned by Ji Ruhuan's sudden question, stared at Ji Ruhuan for a long time, and then sighed and said, "Huan'er is getting smarter and smarter." ”
"But Huan'er is still young, and some things haven't come to you yet, when Huan'er is older, she will tell Huan'er as a father. ”
"As long as Huan'er knows that everything she does for her father is for your good, she will not harm you. ”
Ji Ruhuan responded eagerly, "Daddy, I'm not young anymore, you can tell me now." ”
General Ji smiled and nodded Ji Ruhuan's forehead, "It's still a little girl who hasn't been able to make a difference, okay, the previous assassination was for the sake of her father's carelessness, Huan'er can rest assured, there will be no such thing in the future, stay at home with peace of mind, other things are your own father, no matter how bad it is, there is also your second brother and third brother, it is not your turn to worry about this little girl." ”
Ji Ruhuan sighed in her heart, knowing that she couldn't get words out of her father's mouth, so she had to give up, and nodded obediently, "Got it, Daddy." ”
There has been no good news about the assassination, and this Kyoto Yuwei has been following Ji Ruhuan, which makes her annoyed.
Staying in the Lingering Pavilion, the Lingering Pavilion was surrounded into an iron bucket, and the slightest movement made the entire Lingering Pavilion chickens and dogs jump, and as soon as he went out, there was a mighty team of people from front to back, and Ji Ruhuan simply felt that he had become a prisoner.
The weather was getting colder and colder, so Ji Ruhuan simply nested in the house and didn't go out much, thinking that she would wait until this matter passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was Layue, and the assassination finally had some eyebrows, of course, the so-called Jingzhao Mansion Yin had eyebrows, Ji Ruhuan was not too interested, it was said that he caught the mastermind behind the scenes, and it was Da Liang's meticulous planning.
As for the purpose of assassinating the county lord of Fengyang, it is also explained clearly, one is to separate General Ji and Wu Taishi against each other and disturb the Ming Dynasty.
chose to assassinate the county lord of Fengyang, but also to avenge their dead eldest prince, so that General Ji could experience the pain of losing his dearest daughter.
Even Ji Ruhuan couldn't help but nod when she heard this, "This Jingzhao Mansion Yin is very good at doing things." ”
Of course, whether the person behind the curtain is Da Liang's fine work or not, is a mystery after all.
Of course, Ji Ruhuan didn't believe that Da Liang still had time to send any detailed plans for the assassination at this time, but she was very happy that the case was 'closed', those ubiquitous Kyoto Yuwei had finally withdrawn, and she finally didn't have to do anything under Yuwei's nose.
