He Qiaoyi froze in place, he didn't expect Jiang Banxia to say these words to him.

"Old... Big..."He Qiao opened his mouth with difficulty, as if he was stuck with a stone in his throat and eyes: "You... Kill me. ”

"Kill you?" Jiang Banxia seemed to hear some joke: "Why did you want to kill you?" ”

She was half hidden in the darkness and half in the moonlight, and the silver frost poured down, as if to gather all the cold of this winter in one place.

He Qiaoyi's expression was worried, and he sat on the ground in a daze, he didn't expect Jiang Banxia to let him go!

Such a ruthless person would let go of the person who betrayed her?

He Qiao was shocked in his heart, but before he could come back to his senses, he heard Jiang Banxia taunt: "Kill you, dirty my hands." ”

Kill him, dirty her hands?

Dirty her hands?

The words kept echoing in his mind, and sure enough... Sure enough, it's still so ruthless.

"I'm not going to kill you." Jiang Banxia clasped his fingers together and showed a mocking smile: "I want you to live well." ”

Behind this smile was her gradually cold eyes.

The wind is getting tighter at night, and Jiangnan, which rarely snows, ushered in the first snow of Qingwen's 20th year, and the snowflakes as fine as prickly powder fell from the sky, blowing into the dreams of the people of the time, and also blowing the eyebrows of the people who did not sleep.

Jiang Banxia rarely didn't fall asleep this night, she stood in front of the window and watched the snow all night, a thin layer of snow fell on the earth, white and flawless, and the suffering and filth of the world seemed to be buried by this snow white.

She had never been so awake and aware of her situation as she was now, and a great conspiracy hung over her.

"Brother Jiang? Are you awake? Lu Xun poked his head out of the window: "Wear more snow today, you are really, you get up early in the morning with the window wide open to breathe, and you are not afraid of frostbite?" ”

Jiang Banxia showed a gentle smile, and she asked, "Is your brother gone?" ”

"Early in the morning, I haven't eaten yet, where are I going?" Lu Xun pouted and said, "You said that our brothers were born to the same mother, why are there such a big difference in personality?" My brother's mouth is annoying. ”

Last night, Lu Yun pulled him and said endlessly, and his mother-in-law was even more verbose than his mother.

While talking, the two of them entered the main hall, Lu Yun was helping Fan Qingjun set the dishes and chopsticks, and when the two saw Jiang Banxia, they came to greet them and said, "It's cold outside, come in and sit." ”

Xie Fei, who was leaning aside and lazily picking up copper coins, also responded.

"Huh? It's not me saying, why are you lazy, little county king? Lu Xun shouted.

Xie Fei was thin-skinned, and when he said a few words to him, he was a little embarrassed, and retorted with his mouth open: "Where am I lazy, isn't this helping to wipe the table, if you want to say that the person who is lazy should be Brother He, I haven't seen anyone for a long time." ”

"Huh?" Lu Xun looked around: "Yes, why is the rice bucket surnamed He missing?" ”

He was wondering when Fan Qingjun shouted: "Third Prince Lu." ”

"Huh?"

"Eat quickly, it's cold and the rice is cold." Fan Qingjun took the lead in holding the bowl and picking up the rice.

The atmosphere of eating breakfast was weird, Fan Qingjun had a cold face, and although Brother Jiang was smiling, he was terrifying.

After breakfast, Fan Qingjun called Jiang Banxia to the study, and rarely invited someone to sit down opposite.

"What are you going to do?" Fan Qingjun asked straight to the point.

"One step at a time." Jiang Banxia smiled: "I'm curious about who the person behind him is, it's useful to keep him." ”020

In the second half of the night, He Qiao relied on the move, and he found that what he had always been afraid of was Jiang Banxia's distrustful eyes, so he recruited.

Jiang Banxia was silent and said: "I used to know that he was filial, but I didn't expect him to be so filial." ”

Just as Qiao Yi said that he is not a martial arts material, and he has no lofty ambitions, he just wants his mother to live a good life, and he only cares about his mother.

He Qiao relied on his confession and said that He Mu asked him to do all this, but where was the motive? Completely unmotivated?

"I'm wondering, when did He Mu set her sights on me?" Jiang Banxia looked at the sky with his hands behind his back.

She had seen He Qiaoyi's mother, a blind mother-in-law, and there was no grudge or hatred between them.

Why are you targeting her?

Such a confession was too ridiculous, Jiang Banxia looked at Fan Qingjun: "Lord Fan, what do you think?" ”

"According to He Qiaoyi's confession, Father He served in Beizhen Fusi when he was young, and he had a dirty relationship with Dongchang." Fan Qingjun analyzed: "Extrapolating from time, it should be a matter of the second year of Qingwen. ”

Jiang Banxia frowned, she remembered what He Qiaoyi said before, most of the Jinyi guards who experienced that era have now become Shangguan.

In the second year of Qingwen, it was the second year of Qingwen, and there were appalling cases in that year, and there were many officials who were dismissed that year.

These small clues are scattered everywhere and are covered up intentionally or unintentionally.

"I guess you can ask Cao Alcohol." Fan Qingjun's keen intuition told him that this matter would involve more old things.

"Cao Yu has been in the palace since he was a child, and there are some old things that only he knows." Luckily, maybe he can still remember what happened back then.

Jiang Banxia nodded.

Now this big net nets her in the middle, things are getting more and more bizarre, starting from the Zheng family, the people and things of the year have gradually surfaced.

At the beginning of a heavy snowfall in Kyoto, Cao Alcohol's sedan chair walked briskly through the streets and alleys of Kyoto.

The four sedan chair eunuchs walked like flying, and each of them was a practitioner.

Jiao Da held the sedan pole and whispered to the side of the sedan curtain: "Godfather, I'll be in Yin's Mansion soon." ”

"Go to the door first." Cao Yu's shrill voice came out through the car curtain.

Dongchang's face was quite effective, Jiao Da answered the door, and before he finished speaking, the little guy in Yin's mansion hurriedly asked people to raise the threshold and carry Cao Alcohol's sedan chair in.

The hall of the Yin Mansion was full of cabinet members, who gathered in twos and threes to talk to each other.

"The Admiral of the East Factory has arrived!" The little guy who was talking at the door saw Cao Yu's figure from a distance and hurriedly shouted.

The people in the chamber who were still chatting stopped their voices in an instant, and the cabinet members looked at each other.

"Elder Yin Ge, what are you asking him to do with a eunuch?" Hearing this, Zhang Hengjiang turned his head to look at Yin Zhizeng on the main seat.

The last time Zhang Wengui's incident disgusted him, the last person Zhang Hengjiang wanted to see in his life was Cao Alcohol, so he didn't want to see him very much.

"Hengjiang, don't be impatient." Yin Zhizeng closed his eyes tiredly, and he didn't want to cooperate with the eunuchs until he had to.

Thinking about it, Cao Yu strode into the conference hall and laughed loudly: "Our family is late." ”

Everyone in the cabinet got up and greeted each other, and everyone's faces were tired.

"Duke Cao, please take a seat." The housekeeper of the Yin Mansion greeted him to his seat, serving tea and water, and did not dare to slack off.

"Why don't you speak today?" Cao Alcohol swept through everyone, and he took a sip of hot tea with a smile: "This tea tastes good, it's just right to drink on a cold day." ”
