Chapter 63: The Insider

"I entered the Li Mansion by accident. I was originally a Qingqi in the flower building, and Liu Lang and Liu Lang had already made a private agreement for life, just waiting for Liu Lang to come back and redeem me after finishing his official duties in the state and county. Talking about this touched Qiu Tong's fragile heart, and tears fell like pearls.

However, before Liu Zhutou returned to Qishan County, Qiu Tong was taken by Li Yanhe, who came to the flower building to have fun and was still a county official in Qishan County at that time, and was forcibly taken back to the Li Mansion.

When Liu Zhutou came back, he heard about it and wanted to explain the relationship between him and Qiu Tong to Li Yanhe. For the sake of Liu Zhutou's future, Qiu Tong tried his best to stop Liu Zhutou's statement.

The two were originally like-minded people, but they were forcibly separated for some reason, so they had to take the opportunity to secretly contact each other in private. In order not to be discovered by Li Yanhe, Liu Zhutou often secretly paid attention to Li Yanhe's movements, so he discovered some secrets that were not ordinary.

When Li Yanhe was still a county magistrate in Qishan County at that time, the official title under his direct jurisdiction was Zhizhou, and he should have little contact with the prefect on weekdays. However, Liu Zhutou secretly followed Li Yanhe and found that Li Yanhe often went in and out of the prefect's mansion and had a lot of exchanges.

It wasn't until a year ago that after Li Yanhe resigned from his post as a county official, Liu Zhutou discovered that Yan Weiyan, the auxiliary minister of the current dynasty, who came to Zhejiang to visit relatives, actually met with the then prefect and Li Yanhe in private.

And Li Yanhe always mentioned from time to time that he was helping the big officials in the court to do great things, and after the matter was completed, he would be rewarded heavily, and he would not worry about food and clothing, so he would resign and return to the field at that time, away from the court disputes.

"Yan Wei? Could it be him? Wen Yiheng's expression was slightly surprised when he heard this name, as if he was slightly unexpected.

"Do you know this Yan Wei?" Su Jiudong interjected, "He and you are the opposite?" ”

"Lord Yan Wei is an important minister in the DPRK, assisting in military and government affairs, and he is a high-ranking official with considerable prestige." Wen Yiheng pondered the few times he had contact with Yan Wei in the past, and did not notice anything wrong with it.

"A year ago, didn't it happen that you came to Qishan County not long ago?"

"At that time, Li Yanhe resigned from his official position and should have stayed at home to spend his old age in peace, but now he is still running around on business, and he can even appear at the reception banquet of the minister, which is really suspicious." Su Jiudong didn't know the distribution of forces in the DPRK and China, so he didn't pay much attention to Yan Wei, and only focused on Li Yanhe.

"Liu Lang also felt very suspicious, at that time he deliberately ran back to talk to me, found this secret, he may not live long, so say goodbye to me, let me forget him." Qiu Tong cried out, only using his sleeve to block the tears gushing out.

After Liu Zhutou said goodbye to Qiu Tong, he resigned from the position of head catcher, followed Li Yanhe every day, and kept an eye on Li Yanhe's every move.

Until four months ago, the minister of the Qin mission wanted to return to Zhejiang to continue his inspection, and after receiving a letter, the prefect urgently summoned Li Yanhe to come to the palace that night.

Liu Zhutou leaned on the roof and couldn't hear it clearly, only hearing a few key words "poison" and "constant".

Originally, when Liu Zhutou was walking in the county government, he heard the name of Wen Yiheng, an "auxiliary attendant". Liu Zhutou returned to Qishan County, found Qiu Tong and explained the matter, and asked Qiu Tong to find a way to report to Wen Yiheng, so as not to fall into the trap by mistake.

Qiu Tong and Liu Zhutou hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the dry firewood was burning at that time.

Every time Su Jiudong came to the Li Mansion to prepare food for Mrs. Li and diagnose her pulse, Qiu Tong wanted to come forward to talk to Su Jiudong several times, but found that Mrs. Li secretly sent someone to stare at Su Jiudong. Therefore, Qiu Tong failed to pass the news to Su Jiudong smoothly, so he had to give up.

"So the person who poisoned you on the day of the reception banquet was not Lord Lei, but Li Yanhe, who deliberately hit you?!" Su Jiudong hit the nail on the head, and he was very remorseful for not only being used by the Li Mansion, but also helping Mrs. Li recover from her illness.

There was Mrs. Lei before, and now there is another Mrs. Li, none of which are good. The Lei family and the Li Mansion are all wicked.

Wen Yiheng recalled the details of the day of the reception banquet, and noticed that when he returned the jade jade pendant to Li Yanhe, Li Yanhe wrapped his sleeve and took back the jade pendant.

After some calculation, the whole process should be that Li Yanhe deliberately bumped into Wen Yiheng, and then pretended to take the opportunity of the jade pendant to stuff the poisoned jade pendant into Wen Yiheng's hand, and Wen Yiheng should have been poisoned at that time.

"Thank you for telling us about these things, and you did answer some questions for Heng. As for Li Xing'er's matter, Heng will go all out to take him back for you. Wen Yiheng thanked Qiu Tong, immediately left the house, and rushed to the minister's office.

Soon after Wen Yiheng left, the guy from the medicinal food hall came to say that it was a little boy from the village who came to find Su Jiudong and asked her to go out and have a look.

Qiu Tong received Wen Yiheng's promise on this trip, and returned to Liu Zhutou's residence after saying goodbye to Su Jiudong. The two were originally like-minded people, but they were separated for some reason, and now they can be reunited, which can be regarded as a little favor from God.

It was a young man in the village who came to find Su Jiudong, saying that the Su family had made trouble at Su Jiudong's house again, and Liu Yunniang asked him to run errands to report to Su Jiudong, saying that Liu Yunniang couldn't cope with the Su family, and asked Su Jiudong to go back and solve it quickly.

Su Jiudong remembered that when Liu Yunniang came to the medicinal restaurant to eat before, the Su family who was inadvertently mentioned saw that Su Jiudong had built a new house and wanted to get a piece of the pie. 17

The Su family is used to having no skin and no face, and they love to make trouble, but Liu Yunniang has been tolerating in every way, and invited someone to tell Su Jiudong that it is the first time, I don't know if Liu Yunniang is really disappointed in the Su family this time.

Su Jiudong stuffed the errand money to the little brother in the village who reported the news, and asked him to run again, go to the Kongxing School in the county to find Su Chunshan, and go back to the village with Su Chunshan.

A quarter of an hour later, Su Chunshan rushed to the medicinal food hall and rushed back to the village in a carriage with Su Jiudong and the young man who reported the news.

Along the way, the village boys praised Su Jiudong for being a prominent person in the village now, not only having the money to build a new house, but also opening a medicinal restaurant in the county seat, and buying an exclusive carriage.

After the fall of the Lei family, all family property was confiscated and returned to the imperial court. Su Jiudong asked Wen Yiheng, this Xiangyun carriage belongs to the property of the Lei family, whether he wants to return it, Wen Yiheng shook his head, saying that this carriage was originally bought by Wen Yiheng himself, but it was just hung with the Xiangyun curtain of the Lei family, Su Jiudong can relax and continue to keep this carriage, and just remove the curtain when the time comes.

Su Chunshan also sighed at Su Jiudong's generosity now.

Two quarters of an hour later, several people rushed back to Su Jiudong's house in the village, and the original noisy home had been quiet.

After the Su family knew that Liu Yunniang asked someone to go to the county town to invite Su Jiudong back, the Su family who knew who Su Jiudong was no longer making trouble, but they also refused to leave, thinking that they would wait for Su Jiudong to come back and fight for it, hoping that they could get Su Jiudong to leak a few pieces of silver for them to spend.

Su Jiudong and Su Chunshan walked into the new house, and there were nearly ten Su family members sitting in the room.

Su Dayou and Li sat at the top of the main hall with a big grin, completely treating this place as their home: "Jiudong is back, and Chunshan is also back... Jiudong, you came back just in time, we have something to discuss with you. ”

Su Dayou beckoned Su Jiudong to take a seat and put on a master's style.

Su Jiudong snorted coldly, "Discuss? You come to my house to make trouble, is this to discuss or to rob? If I don't make it back, are you going to force my aunt to death? ”

Su Jiudong helped up Liu Yunniang, who was sitting by the door, and protected Su Ting'an and Ah Rong, who were huddled beside Liu Yunniang, behind him. stared coldly at the Su family in the room.

"I said it 10,000 times, we are no longer the Su family, and we have nothing to do with the Su family. On the contrary, it was you who actively wanted to drive our second room away, and now you are rushing up to stick to us, what do you want to do? ”

"Jiu Dong, you're going too far. We are here to discuss with your aunt, who knows that she is shouting and screaming, saying that we are persecuting her and making a fuss about asking you to come back to save her. Li drank the tea offered by Liu Yunniang in his mouth, and played with the jade bracelet that Su Jiudong bought for Liu Yunniang in his hand, completely unconscious.

Su Jiudong stepped forward to retrieve the jade bracelet, his eyes were full of forbearance anger: "It's obviously you who are excessive!" Relying on my absence in the village, bullying my aunt is weak! ”

Su Jiudong stood in the middle of the room, looked around at the Su family who were sitting or standing, and said, "My family has built a new house?" Want to get a piece of the pie and let me build you a new house? Dream! ”

"When our second room was suffering, we didn't expect your help, you weren't enough to step on it, and now you have the face to ask me to build you a new house?! A herd of skinless and faceless animals! Su Jiudong simply scolded what he wanted to say most in his heart.

"Who are you scolding?! Say who is a beast without skin and no face! Su Xinglian jumped up and pointed at Su Jiudong's face, with a distorted and ugly expression on her face.

"Whoever scolds me is whoever scolds, and whoever comes to my house to make trouble is who I scold." Su Jiudong straightened his waist and faced Su Xinglian directly, and the corners of his mouth even pulled up a faint smile.

"Su Xinglian, it seems that you still haven't learned a lesson from what happened last time...... If the Su family still fails to educate you well, I can take you to the county seat and let the county officials educate you well! ”

"Su Jiudong! Don't think that it's great if you go to the county town and open a medicinal restaurant! Do you really think the county seat is your home? If you let the county magistrate educate me, the magistrate will listen to you? You're dreaming, you! Su Xinglian's arrogance was not annihilated because she was punished for thinking about it.

Li grabbed Su Xinglian, who was thunderous, and Su Dayou bowed and stepped forward to smile at Su Jiudong: "Speaking of this medicinal restaurant, Jiudong, it should also be a place to eat, right?" Since you opened it, then our Su family should not have to pay for it, right? After all, it's all family. ”

"Do you want to pay? Yes, you Su family Su don't have to pay for Su to eat......" Su Jiudong smiled mockingly, "Hehe...... Whoever dares to eat in my medicinal restaurant without paying, and eat and drink for nothing, I will sue whoever is in the yamen. ”

"Jiudong, how can you do this? If you have money, you will forget about it! Forget that you were originally from the Su family! ”

"You also said that it was originally the Su family, but now I am no more, my new house, my restaurant, of course has nothing to do with you." Su Jiudong crossed his hands in front of his chest, putting on a look that he was not afraid of trouble or fear.

"Grandpa and grandma, grandpa and grandma, let's not make trouble, this is someone else's house, let's go." Su Chunshan stepped forward to persuade the Su family and pulled Su Dayou and a group of people to go out.

"You came to my house to make trouble, bullied my aunt, frightened the two children, and wanted to leave so easily?"
