Chapter Twenty-Seven: Rumors

Jiang Xiaoyu changed his clothes, and went back to the back garden with the county lord Qiwen to attend the banquet, after all, those daughters were still waiting for the county lord and Miss Lin to appear.

"I thought you were going to get revenge on me!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled faintly, "The county lord's attitude today surprised me very much!" ”

"A gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late!" The county lord of Qiwen raised his chin slightly, and said a little unruly, "You are injured, I will spare you for the time being, this county lord never takes advantage of people's danger, and when you are well-healed, he will naturally seek revenge on you!" However, the lord of this county still wants to remind you that it is better to be humble, they are all your sisters, too aggressive, and too much! As the so-called thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, you don't know if you will ask them again in the future! ”

"I'll be the lord of the county, and it's a good intention!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, "It's just that the county lord doesn't know what happened to me, so naturally he won't understand the choice I made!" ”

The two walked all the way to the back garden, but the atmosphere here was not as lively as the two of them imagined, and it was a little weird. The girls are still in groups, but Jiang Qiran seems to be isolated, many people are whispering, looking at her with strange eyes, and even Jiang Youran's two sisters are a little implicated.

Jiang Xiaoyu had probably guessed what was going on, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he lifted the hairpin in his hair.

"What's going on?" Lord Qiwen didn't know why, "What's wrong with you?" ”

There were people who had a good relationship with her whispered a few words in her ear, and the county lord of Qiwen frowned slightly, and also glanced at Jiang Qiran with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Don't think about it, people with ulterior motives must be framing my grandfather, so my grandfather won't do those things!" Jiang Qiran had never received such an insult and indignation, so he got up and scolded angrily, "You can rest assured, we will soon find out the murderer who framed our family behind the scenes, and return my grandfather's innocence!" ”

She suddenly glared at Jiang Xiaoyu fiercely: "If I find out that this matter is related to you, I will definitely not be able to spare you!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu looked confused very cooperatively, shrugged his shoulders innocently and said, "But I don't even know what happened!" ”

"The so-called no wind and no waves, there are so many corpses that have been placed in front of the yamen, and these people are all from your Hou Mansion, if it has nothing to do with your Hou Mansion at all, it can't be said!" Yang Manman smiled sarcastically, "I'm afraid that it's like a tutor, and we have already learned it!" ”

Yan Shuxing sighed helplessly: "But this is just a rumor, there is no definite evidence, you don't want to talk nonsense!" The old marquis is highly respected, and before this matter is revealed, we still don't spread the truth, lest we mistakenly fall into the treacherous scheme of others to slander the marquis, so won't we also become accomplices? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is the law of the Great Zhou, and everything will be revealed! ”

"I'll go back and ask Grandpa what the hell is going on! That dog thief, if I let me know who framed my grandfather behind my back, I would never spare him! Jiang Qiran bit his lip and said fiercely, and then hurried back with his family.

This is a good poetry meeting, because of this change, everyone is naturally excited, and after saying a few words to the county lord of Qiwen, they say goodbye one after another.

Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Youran sisters naturally went back to the house together.

"Your clothes are not the ......same as when you came," Jiang Youran glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu up and down a few times, and looked at her scrutinically, "What did you do when you were called by the two subordinates of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" It can't be that you did something nasty, right? You have also seen today's events, there is an accident in the Hou Mansion, although the relationship with us has been estranged a lot, but Yiran and I are still treated coldly, if you do something unseemly, Yiran and I are afraid that it will be difficult to see people! ”

"I do things in my own way, the second sister doesn't need to worry about it, the so-called prostitute sees adultery, I really don't understand, why do you always think about things in that direction? This dress was borrowed from Miss Lin, do you suspect that I have a personal affair with Miss Lin? Jiang Xiaoyu said coldly and sarcastically.

"The second sister is straightforward and fast-hearted, don't worry about the eldest sister!" Jiang Yiran smiled, "I'm just curious about how you changed into Miss Lin's clothes, eldest sister?" Why is the county lord ...... with you?"

"Do you think that after what happened last time, there should be incompatibility between me and Lord Qiwen? You're disappointed that we're getting along today, aren't you? Jiang Xiaoyu smiled shallowly and flicked his fingernails, "As for why I put on Miss Lin's clothes, and do I have the obligation to explain to you?" ”

"She likes to talk about it or not, who is rare! Yiran, why do you have to whisper to her, even if she is the princess in the future? Could it be that we are still waiting below him! We have not asked for her, and we are afraid of her! ”

Although Jiang Youran was impulsive and loved to come out, she didn't expect that she still had such a backbone, but she asked Jiang Xiaoyu to take a look, she stopped talking, lifted the curtain and looked at the hustle and bustle on the street outside, the carriage soon passed through the yamen of Fu Yin, and the bodies of the children who died in vain were happily placed at the yamen, and there were many people gathered around to watch the excitement, and several officials took care of the corpses and drove away the people who were close.

Don't worry, you won't die in vain, the old brute will pay!

Xiaodong's affairs were done well, and sure enough, within half a day's effort, those statements about the Hou Mansion about the young children who died in vain were already known all over the city, and those relatives who had already smelled the unusual rumors who had been walking around with the Jiang family more frequently also came to the door several times to seek countermeasures, in case they were implicated in the affairs of the Hou Mansion, and the Jiang Mansion also sent away waves of clansmen.

"These people are also clever, knowing that the Hou Mansion is about to fall, they are in a hurry to find a new backer!" Jiang Xiaoyu sat in front of the mirror and tried to breathe the internal force, but as long as the internal force was urged, the heart was like a needle prick, it seemed that what Lin Xuan said was really right, I am afraid that there is no way to use the internal force in the recent period.

"But don't talk too much, after all, the Marquis of Pingjin is the person of the three princes, will the three princes sit idly by? It is not yet known which direction things will develop, but your father, you are so sure that he will be able to sit in the position of Shangshu? A faint voice came from above the roof beam, his eyebrows frowned, and he immediately flashed behind Jiang Xiaoyu, and asked with concern, "What's going on, why are you hurt?" ”

"When I was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were people in the palace who wanted to kill me, and I forcibly used my internal force, so I got on the heart, but thanks to Lin Xuan of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I was able to escape!" Jiang Xiaoyu rubbed his heart and dispersed his internal force, "It's ridiculous for me to come, our master is known as the double absolute of medicine and poison, you and I have never learned half of his medical skills, but that kid from the Lin family is quite accomplished in medical skills, and over time, I am afraid that he will be able to match the master!" ”

"The people in the palace? Who will it be? The man in black dragged his chin and frowned in thought, "I didn't expect them to do it so quickly, are you scared?" ”

"I can't be sure of my identity yet, but if you can't kill me this time, there will be a next time!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled shallowly, "Just come, I have nothing to be afraid of!" ”

She paused slightly, rolled her eyes and said: "Speaking of my father, he will definitely be able to become the head of the household department, and the Hou Mansion will inevitably fall, the power of the third prince has developed too fast in recent years, how can our suspicious emperor tolerate a son who he can't fully control, it was like this ten years ago, will it change ten years later?" And the second prince has been suppressed by the third prince over the years, and it is time for the emperor to suppress the third prince, promote the second prince, and re-form a balance that restrains each other, the Pingjin Marquis Mansion...... This is just the beginning! ”

The man in black put the palm of his right hand on Jiang Xiaoyu's back, lost some internal force to her, and said softly: "Don't worry, since the master has an explanation, I will not let anyone hurt you, this trip to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I didn't follow, it was my mistake!" ”

"Senior brother, don't say that, although the master asked you to protect me, but you are not my subordinate, you also have your own life, I will be careful, and I will protect myself!" Jiang Xiaoyu turned around and raised his lips and smiled.

Although there are only some rumors spread among the people, after all, there is no tangible evidence to prove that all the evil deeds are committed by the Marquis of Pingjin, Jiang Yuan felt that this was an unprecedented opportunity to overwhelm the family to obtain the position of the family, but he also felt a little strange, who were those corpses placed in front of the Fu Yin Yamen, why did those rumors spread all over the capital at such a fast speed, and who was behind the scenes manipulating everything?

He pondered for a long time in the study, but he still couldn't make up his mind whether to take this opportunity to unite and support his clan to obtain the position of patriarch, after all, it was the people of the three princes over there, was it cost-effective for him to offend the three princes for the position of the head of the family? After thinking about it for a long time, I came to my mother's yard and wanted to hear my mother's thoughts, after all, when I was hesitant ten years ago, it was my mother's decision that saved the Jiang family!

"My son always felt very strange about this matter, I don't know what my mother thinks?" Jiang Yuan pounded the old lady's thigh, "Is this time a good opportunity for us to make a move?" ”

"If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have it in the future......" The old lady's eyelids that had been drooping opened open, revealing some coldness, "You are a man, you must not be so timid in doing things!" ”

"It's just that they are the people of the three princes after all, and now the three princes are in full swing, if the three princes ascend the throne in the future, what about the settlement after the autumn?" Ehara said worriedly.

"Now if Xiaoyu's marriage with Shizi is completed, even if you don't want to be an enemy of the third prince, I'm afraid you can only stand on the opposite side of him, and Xiaoyu's marriage is not something you and I can control, you have to know that her identity is different from Youran Yiran!" The old lady's old face was full of shrewd calculation, "Your Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, you just need to remember that the person you want to be loyal to is not his third prince or his second prince, only His Majesty, this is the guarantee that can make the Jiang family safe and secure for decades in the future, even if Xiaoyu really marries the prince in the future, the person you want to be loyal to can only be Your Majesty!" ”

A trace of coldness flashed in her eyes: "Since there are people who can target them in this matter, if we don't take the opportunity to take advantage of it, I'm afraid we will live up to the elevation of us!" You just have to remember who you should be loyal to, and whoever throws the favor will just take it! ”

"My son guesses that this matter will not be the revenge of the second prince, if I chase and beat the Pingjin Marquis Mansion at this time, coupled with the relationship between Xiaoyu's girl and the prince, will the son become the target of revenge by the three princes and the party?" Ehara said worriedly.

"Alas!" The old lady sighed and shook her head in disappointment, "You still don't understand what I mean...... That's it, you do what I tell you to do, this time the position of the patriarch is bound to win! ”

"Yes!"
