323, Zhao'an
What Jiang Xuan said was something that several men had never heard.
"You girl says it nicely, but she hides something from her family." Jiang Chong glanced at her with a smile.
"I was wrong. Next time, I promise to be the first to tell you everything. Jiang Xuan begged for mercy.
Jiang Yu wanted to add a fire to the side to talk about her and the emperor, but his heart was sour, his sister was taken away by an old man.
Even if this old man's identity is not ordinary, an old man is an old man.
How will he put his uncle's score in front of the old man in the future?
In case his sister is wronged, how can he beat his sister-in-law?
Jiang Yu touched his nose.
The third master asked again, "What's the matter with you and the Emperor?" How did you meet? ”
It can only be said that the third master doesn't mention which pot to open, because he is not at home, he doesn't know anything, and he wants to ask everything clearly.
This time, it was Jiang Xuan's turn to smile rather than smile, and swept meaningfully towards Jiang Chong, Jiang Yu and his son.
Although she concealed the poison, her father and brother helped to conceal Lin Yi's identity, although this was her duty as a courtier.
Originally, Jiang Chong and Jiang Yu had the upper hand, but because of the words of the third master, the situation reversed.
Jiang Chong smiled awkwardly, and had to turn the topic back to the issue of poison,
"There's really no antidote to that thing?"
"No, no solution!" Jiang Xuan spread her hands, even in another world, she didn't get a useful antidote in the news and newspapers.
The only thing that depends on the strong willpower of the person who is addicted.
This is also why once you get infected, it is a life-ruining thing, even if you are infected and successfully quit the addiction, but one day, it is possible to re-use those things.
Jiang Chong thought about it seriously and asked again, "If you really smoke it, what are the symptoms?" ”
Jiang Xuan reorganized what he said to Lin Yi at the beginning, "It will stimulate the brain, it will make people's personality change, neurasthenia, insomnia and anxiety, and it will also become indifferent and cruel, just like before." ”
"Once addicted, there are some bizarre, real and terrible hallucinations. In the hallucination, the six relatives do not recognize, and it is possible to kill the father and the son. ”
This is why Jiang Xuan didn't let Jiang Zhu'er have a seizure in the hall.
Once the poisonous thing breaks out, everyone will think of Jiang Zhu'er's situation, and they will probably say that everything Jiang Zhu'er said is nonsense after being addicted to Hibiscus cream.
"In short, once contaminated, then man is no longer a man, but a devil!"
Everyone listened carefully, and in the middle of the sound, the third master slapped the table, "What kind of beast would make such a thing to harm people?" ”
The third master is an official on the ground, and he sees more of the suffering of the people, so he is more afraid of what kind of situation will happen once such a thing spreads among the people?
"Third uncle, don't worry, this thing is expensive, ordinary people can't afford it, and it's not the people who want to disintegrate it."
Although it is said that the people are important and the monarch is light, how many of them really think about the people in all dynasties?
The people have always been the lowest and the most forgotten.
Only the strong have the right to speak, and this is the pain of the jungle.
The third master heard that things were expensive and would not circulate in large quantities among the people, so he was relieved.
"Dad, you have to be careful, although it is said that it is now spread among female dependents, but there are already black hands reaching out to the courtiers, you must pay attention to eating and drinking outside."
Jiang Xuan felt that the needle-like injection method in another world should not be circulated here, after all, hollow needles are difficult to make.
"In addition to eating, there is also inhalation of smoke, and Zhu'er is addicted to it by inhaling poisonous smoke.
So, pay attention to that. ”
Jiang Xuan looked up at her, thinking that every time he looked at her like this, he looked at Jiang Chong, "Dad, you must be careful, you must not get poisoned." ”
"Okay." Jiang Chong leaned over and stretched out his hand on the top of Jiang Xuan's head and smoothed it, "Don't worry, Ah Xuan, Daddy won't let you down." ”
"Yes, so is the second uncle (third uncle)."
Jiang Yu saw that everyone turned their heads to look at him, he raised his hands, smiled, and said slowly, "Don't worry, I won't." ”
After telling the family about the poison, Jiang Xuan's heart also let go of the big stone a little, as for the second master, how can the third master go back and tell the second wife and the third wife, that is their business.
……
Although Jiang Xuan is filial piety in the inner house and hardly goes out, she is very clear about what is happening outside.
At the beginning of spring, after Xiao Yue sent Uncle Xu out of Beijing with the reason for preparing for the army, it was still calm in the court for a period of time.
A month later, there was a faint disquiet in the court, and some people kept giving Xiao Yue a fold, and they asked him to get Uncle Xu back.
Although Xiao Yue has a headache, this also indirectly shows that Old Uncle Xu is indeed deeply rooted in the court, and he can't be easily eradicated.
Uncle Xu relied on the power in his hands, and if he wanted to break the ice of the Xu family, he not only wanted to dissolve the power, but also suppressed his name.
When Uncle Xu went out of Beijing, Xiao Yue secretly sent secret guards to keep an eye on him, and the news that came back was that Uncle Xu honestly prepared military supplies and inspected Tuntian in various places in accordance with the holy decree, and there was no inappropriate behavior.
Now, it's a matter of who is more patient.
In the case of Xu's death, Xu San finally surrendered, and after being put in prison, he was poisoned to death.
Although Liu Qingshan closed the case very sadly, he had to close it.
Jiang Xuan, on her side, chose a good day and went to a small village left by Lin Tang in the eastern suburbs.
Zhuangzi was very poor, but it was bought purely because it was too cheap.
Xu San did not die that day, but was replaced by the people sent by Jiang Xuan.
Of course, Lin Yi's help is indispensable here!
After drinking the poisonous wine sent by Xu Wu that day, he thought that he was going to die.
Unexpectedly, there will be another day to open your eyes!
He has been raising this small village since he opened his eyes.
There was only one dumb servant waiting, serving with good food and drink.
Only, no one came to talk to him, and he didn't even know what was going on outside, only the sunrise and sunset.
The dumb servant's kung fu is no lower than Xu San's, and the room where he is imprisoned has nothing to harm himself, and he escapes a few times, and before he even gets out of the courtyard gate, he will be caught and sent back to the room.
This made him secretly frightened, who was holding him here?
As soon as he showed that he wanted to kill himself, the dumb servant would take out a piece of paper with the word 'dear' written on it and place it in front of him.
This forced him to stop thinking of committing suicide.
As a guard like them, most of them are not married, because they don't have to harm others, many people will pack one in the flower building, and they will have desires that need to be relieved when they are young.
At his age, he didn't have too many ideas, and the other guards were still lingering in the flower building.
He was the only one who married and had children.
His wife is his cousin who grew up together, and was sold to Hualou by his family, and was later redeemed by him and raised in a place, he occasionally went to see them, except for Xu Wu, even the master, Uncle Xu didn't know that he had a wife and children!
When he saw these two words for the first time, he subconsciously thought that Xu Wu had rescued him.
But slowly, he realized that it was not.
Moreover, Xu Wu is not so powerful to make him like a trapped beast.
He also thought about whether Xu Wu betrayed him and told the old lady, but if it was the old lady, he would definitely not let him live.
After all, where is the living more tight-lipped than the dead?
Xu San sat in the corner of the bed with his legs bent, this is his daily routine.
The door creaked open, and footsteps came, and at first, he thought it was a dumb servant bringing food in.
"It's dinner time again?" Xu San pulled his hoarse voice and mocked.
After asking, his ears moved, and he felt that something was wrong, it was not the footsteps of a dumb servant.
The dumb servant has kung fu in his body, and every step is very calm, and today, the footsteps are a bit chaotic, and there is more than one person, there are people who know martial arts, but they are not dumb servants.
Xu San stretched out his legs quietly, his thin body tensed, ready to strike at any time.
When he pretended to get out of bed to eat, he turned his head and was stunned when he saw someone coming.
The people who came in were Jiang Xuan, Biyun, and Biwan.
Jiang Xuan sat opposite Xu San with a smile, "Long time no see, don't come unharmed." ”
Xu San's eyes shrank, and his face changed greatly.
I didn't expect that it was this Jiang girl who let people lock him up here!
But! How did she know she had loved ones?
He clasped his hands around his chest, "Isn't it clear if you're sick or not?" What do you mean by locking me up like this? ”
Jiang Xuan leaned back in the chair, her posture was very elegant and leisurely,
"It's not interesting, I just can't see people who have died unjustly, so I stretch out a hand to help."
Xu San smiled contemptuously, help? Someone like her, would she help others?
"For the sake of an irrelevant person, you gave your own life, do you think it's worth it?" Jiang Xuan asked him.
Life is more precious than anything else, and without life, everything is fleeting.
Xu San raised his chin and nodded at Biyun and Biwan, "You can ask the two maids behind you, whether it's worth it." ”
Jiang Xuan chuckled, he didn't expect to be counter-generalized, which is also interesting.
A dead soldier should look like a dead soldier, and if you want to be knocked down in one or two hits, it won't be fun.
"If you get me out, if you want something to come out of my mouth, then I tell you, no way!"
"I won't say anything, I don't have anything to say, if you want to kill or chop it, it's up to you!"
Xu San looked at Jiang Xuan with a sneer, a face of rejection.
Jiang Xuan didn't care, smiled and nodded, "I know." ”
I didn't get angry at all, and nodded very simply.
I heard Jiang Xuan say with a smile, "I'm a very good, very benevolent person, I don't do anything about killing people casually." ”
"I didn't say it, but I couldn't see innocent people die, so I rescued you."
She stood up and spun around with her hands behind her back.
There was a sneer on the corner of Xu San's mouth, kind, benevolent? Scold!
"In this world, there are so many innocent deaths, why don't you save them all?"
Jiang Xuan nodded again, "You're right, I really can't save you, I saved you, but I didn't do anything, it's really a bit of a loss." ”
"Why don't you do something?"
She leaned lazily against the wall, "Since you don't want to betray your master, then I have to use some other method." ”
After speaking, she clapped her hands, and saw the dumb servant come in from outside, and respectfully saluted her, Jiang Xuan nodded in the direction of Xu San.
The dumb servant understood and walked towards Xu San.
Xu San stood up vigilantly and quickly retreated, but before he wanted to make a move with the dumb servant, he felt that he was weak, like a drunk person, unable to stand on his feet and staggering.
"What have you done to me?" His eyes widened, and he asked sharply.
The dumb servant easily tied Xu San's feet. He threw the rope at the beam, pulled it hard, and hung Xu San upside down.
After fixing the rope, the dumb servant walked out respectfully, leaving the field to Jiang Xuan.
Bi Yun took out a small, delicate dagger from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Xuan.
After Jiang Xuan took it, he took out the dagger, looked at it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and walked towards Xu San with the dagger.
Xu San looked at Jiang Xuan vigilantly, his throat moved, and he tried hard to raise his head.
"You...... What do you want? ”
Jiang Xuan hooked her lips, "Since you are so tough and want to maintain the demeanor of a dead soldier, then I can't fail you." ”
She pressed the dagger flat against Xu San's head, slowly, all the way to her neck, to her chest, to her waist, and then down, and she paused......
Xu San didn't dare to move, the position of the dagger was too terrifying, although he was past the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but he was still not happy with the father-in-law in the palace.
There is no joy in life, and you can't even lose the last bit of joy in being a man.
Xu San's back was cold, his body was tense, and there were big beads of sweat on his forehead and back.
He gritted his teeth fiercely and said resentfully,
"Even so, you can't succeed, what kind of torture haven't we experienced? With such means as yours, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
Jiang Xuan smiled, and the dagger moved again, clearly separated from the clothes, but Xu San actually felt the coldness of the blade.
His bound hands were clenched tightly, and even if he did castrate, he wouldn't give in, and he didn't want to reveal a little bit of information.
What kind of cruel punishment have they never seen for such dead soldiers?
It's embarrassing, but how can you break him?
Bear with it, anyway, he already has a child to pass on to the next generation, so don't be afraid that there will be no one to offer incense in the future.
He closed his eyes tightly, although he was a guard, but because the master he followed was a powerful man, he had never experienced such humiliation in his life, and he didn't expect that he didn't even have a corpse before he died.
The expected pain did not come, and the dagger did not stay between the thighs, but went forward again, past his thighs, then his calves, and the soles of his feet......
"Girl, let the slave come, don't get your hands dirty!"
Biyun stepped forward.
Jiang Xuan's hand stopped, took a few steps back, and stood behind Biyun, and then said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you, let's do it......"
Xu San didn't know why, but saw that the maid took the dagger, changed direction, and went to the ankle.
Was it trying to break his hamstrings?
And Jiang Xuan retreated, obviously afraid that when the maid made a move, blood would splash on his body.
Xu San took several breaths in a row before he finally gathered the courage to breathe, no matter how painful it was, he couldn't call it out!
Unexpectedly, the maid's hand rose and fell, and the expected pain did not come, but his shoes and socks were taken off!
"What the hell do you want to do?" Xu San yelled inexplicably.
Jiang Xuan, who was watching the play in the back, said with a smile, "Use torture to fulfill you." ”
"Biyun, still not punished?"
"Yes, girl!"
I saw Biyun throw the dagger to Bi Wan, take out a long feather from his sleeve, and brush it on the bottom of Xu San's feet......
"Ha......" Xu San laughed, but as soon as he laughed, he immediately closed his mouth, gritted his teeth tightly, and held back the smile that was about to rush out.
Biyun paused, and gently scratched the soles of Xu San's feet with feathers.
From time to time, the dumb servant who was guarding outside heard a quacking laugh from inside, like a duck.
The dumb servant was not dumb, it was Lin Yi's manpower sent to Jiang Xuan at that time, he didn't expect that Miss Jiang would be so, so ...... Naughty!
He really thought that he was going to torture the dead soldier named Xu San, after all, the dead soldier was indeed difficult to deal with.
Jiang Xuan squatted down, held his cheeks, and looked up at Xu San,
"This is a big punishment customized for you, I think you must be very lonely and lonely during this time, and you want to talk to you personally, right?"
"I'll give you some hors d'oeuvres today, and in the future, such a big punishment will come once a day.
Such a punishment is nothing to you, right? Anyway, you can bear it very well, this girl will see how long you can endure it.
Also, you must miss your loved ones a lot, right? Don't know what happened to them? It should be sad to hear that you're dead, right? ”
Jiang Xuan looked at Xu San with a smile on his face.
Xu San couldn't hold back his laughter, although this kind of punishment was not cruel, but it was unbearable than any punishment!
Once a day, he'll probably be the first dead man to die laughing.
"How did you know about my family?" Xu San asked with difficulty.
Jiang Xuan's eyes widened, and he said innocently, "I guessed randomly, it turns out that you really have a family?" It's strange that you're not afraid of death, it turns out that someone is offering incense. ”
"However, I think even if your family knows, they won't get the compensation your master gave them, right?"
Xu San was speechless!
What kind of goblin is this? It was like a roundworm in his stomach, and he saw his affairs cleanly.
How did she know he had relatives?
Jiang Xuan was right, he didn't tell the old lady that he had a family, and when he died, he naturally wouldn't give his family a pension.
And, indeed, after today, it is impossible for him to live on earth.
Jiang Xuan saw that Xu San was silent, and said unhurriedly, "It seems that I guessed correctly." ”
"A person like you, turning his back on his master, is a stain on your life, if you don't tell me about your master, do you think there will be no stain?"
"If you are wrong, just because you don't tell him that you have relatives, this is already a betrayal, it is already a stain on your life, and you can't wash it off if you die!"
"Also, your relatives, since you hide them, then you must live on your monthly income, right?
So, you say, "If you die and you don't have a pension, what will they live on?" Oh, your wife can remarry and find another man, but I don't know, when the time comes, your children will not follow your surname!
"You say, there should be many masters like you, right? He simply asked you to come out and confess the crime, and sent someone to bring you poison, for fear that you would tell the secret.
That's not to cherish you!
It's so unworthy to die for someone who doesn't value you. ”
A subordinate, life is indeed like an ant, where is it worth it? Moreover, since he chose to be a guard, he already knows the ending.
Just, his family!
Xu San closed his eyes and endured the torture coming from the soles of his feet with all his might.
He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that after death, his wife and children will have no support.
Although he entrusted them to Xu Wu, who knows......
A hint of hesitation flashed across his face.
"As long as you say, I will settle your family well, if you want, I will reunite you, it is better than you hiding like this."
Jiang Xuan looked at Biyun and motioned for her to stop.
She really didn't know that Xu San had relatives, and what she said today, including the piece of paper she showed Xu San before, was all used by her to deceive Xu San.
Guards like the Xu family, unlike ordinary guards, may die at any time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they live on the edge of a knife.
Such a person, one day, one day, will not think about the future at all.
During the period when Xu San was recuperating from his injuries, she asked people to carefully investigate Xu San's life, knowing that he would go out by helping Uncle Xu do things after a while.
After the good deeds, there was a period of time when his whereabouts became a mystery.
Moreover, the other guards will go to the Flower Building, but this Xu San, although he will go to the Flower Building, will never stay overnight!
It is said that such a guard has no home or job, what does it matter where he sleeps? But Xu San is an exception.
No matter how late it is, he will definitely return to the Xu family's specially prepared residence for the guards.
This reminded Jiang Xuan of a strange saying in another world, to the effect that a man, no matter what he did outside, no matter how late it was, as long as he could go home and sleep, he would still be a good man!
This sentence was scoffed by Jiang Xuan at that time, but now it seems that Xu San's behavior is the same as those men.
Why did he have to go home? It's like keeping some rules.
Therefore, Jiang Xuan had such a guess and asked the guards who took care of Xu San to show him the word 'relative'.
Sure enough, Xu San, who originally wanted to commit suicide, didn't commit suicide after seeing those two words.
No matter how powerful a person is, if he has a weakness, it is equivalent to having a handle in the hands of others, and with a handle, he can get what he wants.
Wasn't Uncle Xu like this at the beginning, using the handle of Old Lady Jiang to successfully let the Xu family marry into the Jiang family?
Xu San looked at the girl in front of him with a beautiful face and an innocent smile, but in fact she was a demon, as if she had grasped his weakness, so that he had to compromise!
He thought of the Emperor standing behind her!
I thought of my master, Uncle Xu, who had been working by Uncle Xu's side for many years.
He knew that the person he couldn't trust the most was Uncle Xu.
Although no one was scratching the soles of his feet, it was about inertia, but he still felt the itch coming from the bottom of his heart, and he was dissatisfied with the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and he felt as if everything was exposed.
He didn't dare to look at Jiang Xuan's eyes,
"I don't know much, the old lady is very vigilant, what he tells is always only a part of the incident, and he will not let me finish a thing from beginning to end."
Jiang Xuan snapped her fingers in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face, "It's good if you know what to say, I've said everything, I'm very kind." ”
"Look, when you didn't say it, I didn't want to kill you. I don't kill ......"
Jiang Xuan's words were plain, but Xu San's back was chilling when he heard it.
"I want you to settle my family first, and when they are safe and have no worries for the rest of their lives, I will tell you what I know." This is his only condition, and his betrayal of the old lady is only because of his family, as for himself, he can only apologize with death. ”
"What I promised you, I will naturally do." Jiang Xuan replied very simply, "However, I can't make a decision on whether you die or not!" ”
"If you want to leave, I can arrange it for you."
"No, you don't." Xu San said helplessly, "Where can I go?" People like us can't live, even if you save me this time, in the future, as long as the old lady dies, we people will still die! ”
"Miss Jiang, thank you, it's just that the people behind the old lady are very powerful and the conspiracy is also terrifying, I hope what I said can help you."
Jiang Xuan hurriedly asked, "Who is that person?" ”
"I don't know, the old lady never told me." Xu San shook his head, everything they did was a part, they couldn't be seen from beginning to end, and the old lady never told them this.
"However, if the girl wants to know everything, she can try to find Xu Wu! Xu Wu by the old uncle's side! ”
"He is in charge of everything the old lady, and our affairs are assigned by him."
If what Xu San said is true, when Uncle Xu goes out of Beijing, he will definitely take this Xu Wu out, right?
She nodded, "Thank you for telling me the news first, don't worry, I will arrange your family, and I will do what I say." ”
"You wait for my news."
After speaking, Jiang Xuan got up and left with Biyun and Biwan.
When she went out, she asked Bi Wan softly, "Observing words and looking at colors is what you are best at, you say, is what Xu San said just now true?" Will you go around in circles with me again? ”
Bi Wan is Lin Yi's maid to Jiang Xuan, and Bi Zhi have different strengths, Bi Zhi is good at tracking, and Bi Wan is good at observing words and feelings, and understanding people's hearts.
"Girl, it seems that Xu San really values his family, as long as his family is fine, even if he won't tell us everything, he will talk to us for eight or nine points."
If it's something important, it's good to be able to say eight or nine.
I'm afraid that he will play tricks.
However, she is not afraid of playing tricks.
After settling Xu San's family for a while, Jiang Xuan just let people continue to look at him, and the medicine on his body didn't solve him, and he would get used to it if he was soft.
……
On the way back to the city, when passing by a famous vegetarian shop in the capital, Jiang Xuan asked the coachman to stop and go buy some before going home.
Although no one in the family is willing to keep filial piety to the old lady, it still has to be done on the surface.
It is impossible for people not to eat meat for three years, otherwise, their legs will be soft and their hands will be soft, and their faces will be turned into dishes.
She lifted the curtain and told Biyun outside to buy some other things and bring them back along the way.
In a small building to her side, two men stood in the window.
One was wearing a crimson robe, and the other was wearing a dark robe, both of them were very outstanding, but this time, they were both expressionless.
The two of them saw Jiang Xuan in the carriage at the same time, and their faces were relaxed.
"I don't care what you're going to sit in the capital, but ......," the man in the scarlet robe paused and said heavily, "You'd better stay away from her, I won't allow you to move her attention again." ”
The man in the dark robe was not afraid of his warning at all, and just smiled softly and said,
"My relationship with her is not something that you, an outsider, can know. Unless...... Now she is my wife for a long time. ”
"Xu Shizi, what qualifications do you have for me not to hit her idea? Don't forget, she and your Xu family still have this uncommon hatred, even if I leave, she won't be yours. ”
It was clearly Murong Han who spoke, and his purple eyes were full of mockery. The carriage below has left, he is fully dressed, and he is smiling lightly,
"You'd better mind your own business."
"This young master's business, it's not your turn to point fingers."
Xu Bin, who was dressed in crimson clothes, had an irrepressible anger rising in his heart, but at the same time, he also had a deep sense of powerlessness, Murong Han's words were right.
But who Murong Han is, he knows best, he can't provoke Jiang Xuan anymore.
He suddenly felt deeply sad, Murong Han can't, can he himself?
There is no way to resolve the blood feud between the two families, and in the future, the two will only go further and further.
Murong Han sat at the table, leaning back in his chair with a relaxed posture, "You came to me today, what's the matter?" Now it can be said. ”
Xu Bin sat opposite him with a dark face and talked about the purpose of this trip.
