Chapter 155: Civil Strife
Gan Peilin woke up three days later.
In the dream, she vaguely felt that a man was talking to her, but when she woke up, only Liulan and Crispy Core were guarding the bedside.
Gan Peilin frowned and stretched out his hand, finding that the wound on his arm had healed. Not even a veil is wrapped. She forced herself to sit up, alarming the two girls who were asleep.
"Miss, you're awake." The brittle core is not happy. "You must be hungry, the slave has boiled hot porridge, and I will bring it to you."
"Miss, the slave maid will fetch water for you to wash your face." Liulan was about to leave, but Gan Peilin grabbed the corner of her clothes.
"Does the eldest lady have anything else to order?" Rulan stopped and asked worriedly.
"Jiang Yu ......" Gan Peilin didn't speak, his throat was so tight that he finally reluctantly said these two words.
Liulan hesitated, turned around and brought her a glass of warm water. "Miss, let's moisten our throat first."
"Don't lie to me." Gan Peilin didn't take the water cup and looked at her intently.
"The emperor detained the governor in the palace, just like the last time he detained the lord and the young lady." Liulan said worriedly: "I heard that Yu Linwei found a flying lantern in Jiang's mansion. ”
"Found a flying lantern?" When Gan Peilin spoke, he felt his throat rubbing violently: "What does that mean?" ”
"Miss." Liulan saw that she was worried, so she simply said clearly: "The flying lantern that the emperor found was just made and has not yet taken off." People asked the mother of the lost girl, and she could prove that her girl did it herself. Subsequently, the emperor strictly ordered a thorough investigation of all the mansions in the Jiang Mansion. In a remote house on the outskirts of the city, the girl's body was found. ”
"It can't be." Gan Peilin didn't believe that Jiang Yu would do such a thing at all. It's just that at this time, she didn't realize that she would believe Jiang Yu so much. "He is ruthless, but he has never done things in a fair way, but he will not hide it. This matter can't have anything to do with him. You hurry up and get hot water to familiarize me with the dressing, I want to enter the palace. ”
"Miss, you can't go." Liulan had to remind her: "The emperor is waiting for our Ganfu to rise now." You can't send it to the door and let the emperor catch this handle. Besides, if even you are detained in the palace, who will find a way for the Grand Governor! ”
Her words were like a basin of cold water, pouring down head-on.
The general woke up, and Gan Peilin, who was still a little chaotic, woke up completely.
"You're right." Gan Peilin nodded condensedly: "Since the emperor has taken Jiang Yu's handle, it is impossible to believe him because of my two sentences." Even if I want to save him, I have to show evidence. ”
"It's good that the eldest lady understands." Liulan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go get hot water." Gan Peilin doesn't like his lack of energy. She had to quickly cheer up and help Jiang Yu this time.
But why do you want to help Jiang Yu, she boils down to returning the favor.
After all, he has also helped her and Gan Fu many times.
And this time, she never believed that Jiang Yu did it.
After cleaning himself up, Gan Peilin ate porridge again and again and called Chen Rui to ask about the situation.
Chen Rui carefully described the things he had found out in the past few days.
Gan Peilin listened and listened, and suddenly had an idea. "Are you saying that these girls, except for their similar age, are all daughters of ordinary people, and there is no other similarity?"
"Yes." Chen Rui nodded. "And so far, only one corpse has been found. The rest of the girls are still missing. ”
"All the Jiang family's houses have been searched and cleaned, are you sure that nothing is missing?" Gan Peilin was a little unconvinced.
"Miss, the emperor's people will definitely not miss anything." Chen Rui couldn't help frowning.
"Then the best place for Tibetans to hide is to make trouble." Gan Peilin said to Crispy Core: "You go and get some silver for Chen Rui." Let him find someone to go around the fireworks and willow alleys in the imperial city. Maybe it will be rewarding. ”
"This ......" Crispy Core's face was hot, but he still nodded. Okay, I'll go. ”
"Miss, there's one more thing I want to say more." Chen Rui thought about it a little, but still felt the need to say.
"You say it's what it is." Gan Peilin took a sip of porridge.
"I always felt that this must have been done by someone who knew the Governor well. Otherwise, even if the Jiang Mansion is a deserted courtyard, it is not easy to bury the corpse there. After all, there are many people under the hands of the Metropolitan Governor, and there are many secret sentinels, how can this person frame him. Chen Rui came to a conclusion.
"I see." Gan Peilin nodded again and again: "Go and prepare the carriage, I want to go to Taiwei Jiang's mansion to visit Madame." ”
At this time, the Jiang Mansion was already in chaos.
The women in the backyard were crying and crying. Xue Baoyun's heart was also uneasy.
"Won't the Captain see me?" Xue Baoyun stood outside Jiang Yishen's courtyard gate and asked angrily.
"Madame, my lord is busy with official business at this time, I'm afraid I won't have time to see you." The housekeeper said with an embarrassed face.
"Handle official business." Xue Baoyun sneered: "His official business was handled as early as twenty years ago. In the past 20 years, what serious things has he done besides spending time drinking and playing with women? You hurry up and spread the word, and if you avoid it, don't blame me for setting fire to his yard. ”
"Yes, ma'am." The butler hurriedly ran in again.
If it weren't for Lu Yao being here, the housekeeper wouldn't be so afraid. He knew that the men of the Grand Governor would be able to do whatever the Madame commanded. Immediately ran to Captain Jiang's side.
"You can't stop a woman, it's really a waste." Jiang Yishen glanced at the housekeeper indifferently, and unhappily pushed away the disheveled woman in his arms. "Let her in, I want to see how he can go crazy."
Not long after, Lu Yao accompanied Xue Baoyun into the courtyard of the captain.
At that time, Jiang Yishen had already dismissed the women who were looking for pleasure. But the messy scene of cups and plates didn't have time to clean up.
"My Yu'er has been imprisoned in the palace by the emperor for three days. I heard that he was still injured. You still have the heart to do this. Did your conscience let the dog eat? Don't forget, how did you get all these years of prosperity and wealth. It's not my domain yet......"
"Yes, yes, you're right." Jiang Yishen looked at her with his eyes: "The glory and wealth of the Jiang Mansion are all exchanged for your mother and son." You have the ability, then you can save him yourself. What did you do when you came to me? ”
"You ......" Xue Baoyun was so angry with him that her chest tightened: "You old immortal." ”
"Yes, I'm old like this, I'm not dead, what can I do." Jiang Yishen raised his eyebrows coldly, and his tone was full of resentment: "Close your eyes early, you don't have to guard you, the slut and the wild seed." ”
"You ......" Xue Baoyun rushed forward with an arrow step, raising her hand and pumping it towards Jiang Yishen's face.
Jiang Yishen's body flashed, and he avoided this slap.
grabbed Xue Baoyun's wrist with his backhand and squeezed it hard. Xue Baoyun took a few steps back, looking like she was about to fall.
Lu Yao hurriedly flew forward and blocked Xue Baoyun with his back. "Is ma'am?"
"He dares to do something to me, Lu Yao, you can kill him for me now." Xue Baoyun said this mercilessly.
"This ......" Of course, Lu Yao didn't dare to obey his orders: "Madam, I'm afraid this matter has to be discussed in the long run." ”
Ao Li heard that Xue Baoyun had come to this courtyard, so he hurriedly led people over. After hearing this, I felt even more weird.
Especially Lu Yao's answer. He didn't say he couldn't, or couldn't, but he said think long-term?
Could it be that Xue Baoyun is going to kill Jiang Yishen for a day or two? This murderous intent has been slowly growing? So even the minions of the Jiang Mansion are thinking about this?
"If you want my life, you can. But let the wild seed be buried with you. Jiang Yishen said this without any scruples.
"You dare." Xue Baoyun stomped her feet angrily: "If anything happens to my domain, I will crush your bones and scatter ashes, and even the ancestral hall of your Jiang Mansion will be burned." Try it if you don't believe it. ”
"Hmph." Jiang Yishen looked at her ignorantly: "Of course you dare." There's nothing you can't do. Back then, I wasn't just ......"
"Father and mother, don't quarrel anymore." Ao Li suddenly opened her mouth to interrupt the two of them, completely for self-preservation. She always felt that under the strange atmosphere of Jiang Mansion, there must be a shocking secret hidden. The current situation is uncertain, Jiang Yu is in danger, and knowing too much will not be beneficial to her at all. "Let's think about any way to get into the palace. I heard from the palace that most of the governors were not lightly injured, and they seemed to have been poisoned. ”
"What?" Xue Baoyun's heart suddenly seemed to be pierced by a sword, her face was pale in pain, and cold sweat broke out. "My domain has done so many things for the imperial court, how did it end up like this? Jiang Yishen, you hurry up and find a way to save my son. Otherwise, I will never spare you. ”
"What can I do?" Jiang Yishen sneered: "Why don't you go underground and beg that short-lived ghost?" ”
"You ......"
Lu Yao's eyes were bright, and he suddenly found something strange.
The long table in front of Jiang Yishen, at Zhuo's feet, was cushioned with a folded paper.
He walked over quickly, lifted the corner of the table, twitched the somewhat crumpled paper, and his face changed dramatically. "It's ...... Paper to make flying lights. How can it be in your yard, sir? ”
"Paper for flying lights?" Xue Baoyun immediately understood. "Wow, it's you who manipulate this behind your back, it's you who ......"
Jiang Yishen suddenly let out laughter: "What if it's me?" What can you do with me? ”
"You...... You eat, drink, and be merry, spending the money that my son earned back with his life, and you are still rushing behind your back to plot against him. Why didn't I clean you up sooner? Xue Baoyun's eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and she vented angrily: "Lu Yao, kill him for me immediately." ”
Lu Yao immediately drew his sword.
Ao Li's face turned blue with fright: "Mother, don't ......"
"You go away, it's none of your business here." Xue Baoyun instructed the people on the side: "Take her away." ”
Someone was busy and forcibly helped Ao Li away.
"Mother, you have to think twice......" Although Ao Li is unwilling to wade into troubled waters, he also doesn't want to have earth-shattering waves in Jiang Mansion. Mother ......"
Lu Yao approached Jiang Yishen with a sword, and he was about to make a move.
Jiang Yishen said unhurriedly: "He doesn't listen to me more and more, and he has to suffer some hardships to be sensible." If you still want him to live, get down on your knees and beg me. I guarantee he's okay. Otherwise, if I die, he will be on his back. ”
Xue Baoyun sneered: "Over the years, you have been forcing Yu'er to do things for you, and now, he has broken out of his own career, and you still refuse to let him go." You ......"
"Don't make me repeat it." Jiang Yishen's face was cold, and there was only hatred in his eyes: "Don't forget, I'm not the only one who wants his life!" ”
