Chapter 42: Clues

The guards of the King of Yunyang were discovered during the captivity, and the two holy maidens were not taken captive. But when they learned that the King of Yunyang had kidnapped the Holy Maiden in order to defile them, the angry Left Protector wanted to lead the disciples to break into the Yunyang Palace, but was persuaded by Qi Yunzhi, the Right Protector.

At that time, they didn't know that Qi Yunzhi and King Yunyang were the same dog, and Qi Yunzhi deliberately led the mastermind of this matter to Master Jian.

Qi Yunzhi spread rumors within the Twin Immortal Sect, saying that the reason why King Yunyang wanted to kidnap the Holy Maiden was Master Jian's idea, the purpose was to get rid of the Twin Immortal Sect, and he also took out the letter that Master Jian and Prime Minister Wen conspired to eradicate the Twin Immortal Sect, and the Zuo Protector thus targeted the Jian family.

On the 60th birthday of Mrs. Wen, Mrs. Jane's close friend, the Wen family held a grand birthday banquet and invited Jane's family to participate. Because King Yunyang was in Jiangnan, the Wen family also invited him to a birthday banquet in order not to offend the regent.

I don't know how the disciples of the Twin Immortal Sect infiltrated the Wen family's birthday banquet, as soon as the birthday banquet began, they began to act, and directly aimed the finger at the Jian family's father and son and the king of Yunyang. Old Lady Jian and Master Jian were killed on the spot, and King Yunyang was seriously injured and unconscious.

This riot involved the Jian family, the Wen family, and the clan, and the rioting Twin Immortal Sect disciples bit the poison sacs in their mouths one after another after being caught, and not a single mouth was left alive.

Originally, Qi Yunzhi escaped, but Jian Fang stabbed him through his collusion with King Yunyang. Only then did the Twin Immortal Sect and the Jian family know that everything was made by him inside, and because he resented the Jian family, he borrowed a knife to kill people.

Qi Yunzhi's death is not a pity, but Old Lady Jian and Master Jian can't survive. At this time, Jian Fang said that Qi Yunzhi was helped by Mrs. Jian to successfully take her and Jian Yun out of the house, and Mrs. Jian also gave Qi Yunzhi some money to make a living.

Old Madam Jane was almost angry when she knew the truth, and if it weren't for the children she gave birth to, she really wanted to divorce her immediately. Mrs. Jian also regretted it, she always wanted to use her husband's power to pull her mother's family, and she also attached great importance to Qi Yunzhi's nephew, but she didn't expect it to be a tiger.

But it was too late to regret it, she would come to ask Mrs. Jian every day to ask for guilt, but she was scolded back every day.

Aunt Jian and Jane's were angry and uncomfortable when they heard this, but they didn't expect that this disaster of the Jian family was actually caused by Qi Yunzhi, and the wife of the Jian family was the indirect cause of all this.

Jane thought that Mrs. Jian had written a letter to ask Qi Yunzhi to marry her daughter, and she couldn't help but feel a strong resentment in her heart. That Qi Yunzhi is such a good person, but her sister-in-law is embarrassed to bring it up. If she hadn't been bent on pulling her mother's family, how could her father and eldest brother have died.

After dealing with the funeral of the father and son, the Fang brothers and the Zheng brothers returned to Beijing first, leaving Aunt Jian and Fang Mojiao to accompany Mrs. Jian in the Jian family.

After a few more days, there were suddenly more soldiers patrolling in armor in Jiangnan City, and when I inquired, I learned that the regent had transferred troops from Yunzhou to eradicate the Twin Immortals Sect. The leader of the troops was Jiang Weiyi, the chief soldier of Yunzhou, and Jiang Weiyi was the regent's person.

Strange to say, the activities of the Twin Immortal Sect were very frequent before, and after the riot, the disciples of the Twin Immortal Sect slowly disappeared. Occasionally, one or two believers were caught, and ordinary people who had just come to the doctrine could not get any useful information from them.

At this time, the Southern Imperial Court was also in chaos, after the death of Master Jian, according to the convention, the eldest son of Master Jian should take over the post of secretary of the Ministry of Officials, but in addition to Prime Minister Wen, several other Shangshu of the Southern Court did not agree, especially the officials sent from the capital to garrison.

In addition, the Jian family's performance of inheriting the official position of the Beijing court has not been approved, and the Jiangnan family has smelled different changes from this change, and finally understands that the capital wants to completely abolish the southern court.

At this time, they realized that since the capital moved north, they had been in a corner of peace, and they had long been unable to confront the imperial court in the north of the capital, and the power in their hands had also been divided by the officials sent by the capital to garrison it. By the time they became vigilant, the situation in Jiangnan was out of their control, and the fall of the Jian family was just the beginning.

After realizing this situation, the Jiangnan family began to contact their own relationships in the capital, but without exception, no one would help them in such a situation.

The eldest prince of Jian did not inherit the official position of the official secretary of the ministry, but the Jian family also had two important in-laws who served in the northern court of the capital, and Jian and Aunt Jian wrote to ask if their husbands could help the Jian family, but the reply from General Zheng and Fang Shilang disappointed them to the extreme.

Fang Shilang wrote in a letter to his wife that it was imperative to abolish the Southern Imperial Court, and that he and General Zheng were really powerless to return to heaven. He also said that if the eldest son of Jian really wants to revitalize the Jian family, he can go to the capital to find opportunities.

Although Jane didn't understand the court, she still understood what she meant from her husband's words. It is a fact that the Southern Imperial Court was revoked and cannot be changed, but it has not yet been implemented, and if the Jian family takes the lead in expressing its position, the Northern Imperial Court will definitely not treat the Jian family badly.

General Zheng's reply to Aunt Jian was similar, and the sisters told the news to Grand Master Jian. But the eldest prince of Jian couldn't accept it, he felt that the Jian family was one of the best families in Jiangnan, if he really bowed his head to the northern court, how could he gain a foothold in Jiangnan in the future, and how could he face other families?

The eldest prince of Jian was unwilling to accept the proposal of the two uncles, and resigned himself to becoming a petty official of the Southern Imperial Court. When Jane and Aunt Jane saw him behaving like this, they knew that the Jane family was really going to decline. The sisters have not yet come out of the grief of losing their father and brother, and they are immersed in the sadness of the defeat of the Jane family.

On the contrary, Mrs. Jane, who experienced the pain of losing her husband and child, saw it more openly, and she comforted her two daughters so that they didn't have to worry about the Jian family. Although the eldest grandson is talented, he does not have much ability, and it may be a good thing that he has not inherited the official position of his ancestor, and there is less risk of being used. Although the Jane family was defeated because of this, it was able to save the reputation and life of the whole family.

Since Mrs. Jane and Mr. Jane were buried, Mrs. Jane took away the right to be Mrs. Jane's housekeeper and handed it over directly to Grandma Jane. Mrs. Jane knew that she had done something wrong with a single thought, and she did not resist at all when she was seized power, and later took the initiative to enter the small Buddha hall to practice.

Old Madam Jane saw that she was interested, and her anger dissipated a lot. She is a person who knows right from wrong, and although Mrs. Jane has made mistakes, she is not as wrong as her children, so she still has the same attitude towards the three children born by Mrs. Jane.

The eldest son of Jian and the second son of Jian have already married a family, and only Jian Yao has not yet said goodbye. When Master Jian was still there, he was originally going to set up a young son in the family room for his daughter, but when Mrs. Jian and Master Jian died, Jian Yao had to keep filial piety for her grandfather and father, and the marriage between the two families had to come to an end.

There is also Master Jian's concubine Jian Fei, who is only half a year younger than Jian Yao, and she has also reached the age when she should say goodbye. Mrs. Jian was worried that once the three-year filial piety period of her two granddaughters passed, she would be older, and coupled with the decline of the Jian family, she didn't know what kind of family she would be able to marry at that time.

Therefore, she discussed with her two daughters whether they could bring their two nieces with them when they returned to Beijing, and they would see each other in the capital in the future.

Jane's and Aunt Jian did not refuse, but Fang Mojiao reminded them that they still had to ask Jian Yao and Jian Fei what they thought, in case they didn't want to leave Jiangnan at all, they would be resentful when they arrived in the capital in the future.

What she didn't expect was that Jian Yao was reluctant to leave Jiangnan, but Jian Fei was very willing to go. Old Madam Jian repeatedly asked Jian Yao's opinion, and Jian Yao said that she didn't want to leave Jian's house. Later, when Jane and Aunt Jane returned to the capital, they only took Jian Fei with them.

Fang Mojiao did not follow her mother and aunt back to the capital, she told Jian that she wanted to stay with Mrs. Jian, in addition to this, she also wanted to find out the mystery of Du Wuyan's life experience. If you want to prove that Du Wuyan is Jian Yan, you must find the long-term follower of the Du family.

Du Wuyan and Xuan San were not in a hurry to return to Beijing, their errand was not yet completed.

Before coming to Jiangnan, Du Miaoyi received news from the spies of the Exploration Pavilion, saying that during the riot of the Twin Immortal Sect, she had noticed a clue that Prince Duanhui seemed to be alive.
