Chapter Seventy-Four: The Wicked

Yan Niang hurriedly asked Taozhi and Qingyang to help Jiang's mother back to lie down, and after they left, she stared at Wei Husheng fiercely, and said sharply: "If my mother has three long and two short today, you can't get rid of it." ”

When Wei Husheng heard this, he was about to run, but Yan Niang said loudly: "Liu Da, tie him up and ask the adults to come back and deal with it." ”

Liu Dae did so.

When Jiang Yucheng came back, the doctor had just finished checking Jiang's mother's pulse. He hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my mother?" ”

The doctor said: "The old lady is fainting caused by impatience, she is old, her mind is as calm as possible, if there is such a situation again, I am afraid it is a little dangerous." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief. After sending the doctor away, after asking where Wei Husheng was locked up, he asked Yan Niang to take good care of Jiang's mother, and he went straight to the firewood room.

Wei Husheng's family of three was tied up by Liu Da and locked in the firewood room, and after seeing Jiang Yucheng come in with a tense face, Wei Husheng was so frightened that he kept struggling to shrink back. Jiao Shi was also trembling, and he was close to his son.

Jiang Yucheng's gaze fell on Wei Husheng's face, and he stared at him for a moment before speaking: "Say, who asked you to come?" ”

Wei Husheng shook his head vigorously, because his mouth was stuffed with a cloth ball, and he couldn't hear what he was saying. Jiang Yucheng took a few steps forward and squatted down in front of him, tearing open the cloth ball.

"Cousin, I'm your own cousin, you can't let your minions bully me like this." There was no cloth ball in his mouth, and Wei Husheng hurriedly spoke: "We are all relatives, how can we be treated as inappropriate." ”

Jiang Yucheng didn't seem to hear his words, and asked again, "Who asked you to come to my mother?" ”

His instincts told him something wasn't right. His mother has been separated from the Wei family for almost 30 years, even if he was admitted to the Jinshi and served as a magistrate in Yucheng County for three years, the two families have never passed by.

Now that he has only been in the capital for a few months, only his cousin Leng Ruru in the entire Yucheng County knows where he lives in the capital, and even the Wu Niangzi, who has a close relationship with Yan Niang, does not know. Wei Husheng can find this place accurately, if there is no one in the middle, he will not be surnamed Jiang.

"Cousin, what are you talking about, our family of three can't live in our hometown anymore, so I want to come to the capital to join you and my aunt." Wei Husheng's eyes rolled and continued to talk nonsense with Jiang Yucheng.

Jiang Yucheng glanced at Ambassador Liu. Liu Da picked up the wooden stick on the side, walked in front of Wei Husheng, and broke the wooden stick from the middle with a loud shout.

"If you don't tell the truth, this stick will be your fate." Liu Da's deep voice sounded.

Wei Husheng was frightened by his hand, his lips kept trembling, and he couldn't speak anymore, "You... Do you want to... What do you want to do? ”

Jiao Shi and Wei Dabao on the side were so frightened that they screamed even more.

Liu Da took another step closer with a smile, and Wei Husheng hurriedly shouted: "Don't hit me, I'll say anything." ”

Jiang Yucheng waved his hand and motioned for Liu Da to step back.

Wei Husheng was relieved when he saw that the terrifying Liu Da had gone out. Looking at the polite cousin in front of him, he became bold again. "Cousin, I was scared by your minion just now, let me tell you the truth, there is really no one to instruct me."

Jiang Yucheng naturally didn't believe it, and said coldly: "Since you don't plan to say it, then go to Shuntian Mansion for a few days." ”

Although Wei Husheng came to the capital not long ago, he also knew that Shuntian Mansion could not enter. Seeing Jiang Yucheng's unkind look, he was suddenly stunned.

"I say, I say." He didn't dare to play tricks in front of Jiang Yucheng anymore, and said honestly: "I offended people in my hometown, and I wanted to go to my mother-in-law's mother's house." The day before I left, a middle-aged woman with a Beijing accent came to me and said that if I came to the capital and stayed in your house, she would give me fifty taels of silver. ”

Afraid that Jiang Yucheng would not believe it, Wei Husheng glanced at his wife and children, "I don't believe you ask them." ”

Jiao Shi and Wei Dabao nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Yucheng asked, "What else did she ask you to do?" ”

Wei Husheng shook his head, "She said let's make your house a miasma, if we can make your daughter-in-law angry, it's better." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yucheng couldn't help but clench his fists.

He said to Wei Husheng: "You have been staying in the firewood room for the past few days, if I find the middle-aged woman in your mouth, and I want you to confront her, if you find the real mastermind behind the scenes, I can let you go." ”

No matter what grudge that person had with his Jiang family, he came up with this method, and his mind was too vicious.

The only thing that Jingzhong didn't deal with the Jiang family and Yan Niang was the Ling family, Jiang Yucheng aimed at the Ling family and sent people to observe the Ling family's every move. Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and there was nothing suspicious on the Ling family's side.

Wasn't it the Ling family who did it? Jiang Yucheng once suspected that he was targeting the wrong target, but his intuition told him that this matter was absolutely inseparable from the Ling family.

He came to the firewood room again, stared at Wei Husheng and asked word by word, "Did you miss something and didn't explain?" ”

Wei Husheng hurriedly shook his head, "I know it's all said, and there really isn't anything to hide." ”

Jiang Yucheng said nothing with a calm face.

At this time, Jiao spoke, "I remember, I remember." Jiang Yucheng turned her head to look at her, and she hurriedly said: "I listened to a few words when she talked to the master that day, and it seemed that I heard her mention something about the Liu family, the Hou Mansion and the like, and I didn't pay much attention to it at that time." ”

The Liu family, the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion surnamed Liu in Beijing is only the Yongyi Hou Mansion, could it be that the last treacherous plan failed to succeed, so he took the opportunity to take revenge? Jiang Yucheng secretly guessed in his heart.

It has been staring at people for a long time, and there is nothing abnormal on the side of the Marquis of Yongyi. At this moment, a middle-aged woman in a brown cotton coat came to the door. said that it was an old acquaintance with the Jiang family's cousin Wei Husheng's family, and when he learned that they had come to the capital, he came to visit.

It was Uncle Yan who was talking to her, and he looked the grandmother up and down, and threw down a sentence: "Wait a minute, wait for the old man to report to the master's house." ”

The grandmother laughed twice, and stood outside waiting in a proper manner.

After Yan Bo entered, he beckoned Liu Da over, "You go and get the person surnamed Wei over and let him identify him." ”

Liu Da hurriedly did so.

Wei Husheng glanced at the woman several times through the crack in the door, and after thinking about it carefully, he said, "It seems to be her." ”

Yan Bo and Liu Da glanced at each other and nodded. Liu sent Wei Husheng back to the firewood room, and Uncle Yan pretended to have just come out of it, and slowed down his tone: "Master Wei said that he knew you, please go in and talk." ”

A hint of surprise flashed on the grandmother's face, and then she smiled again: "I am a small family, where do I dare to enter the mansion of the official master, please ask the old man to let him come out and say a few words to me." ”

Yan Bo said: "Don't rub it in, Master Wei is waiting." Saying that, he went to pull the grandmother, "Let's go, don't let the master wait." ”

The grandmother saw that the situation was not right, and when she was about to run, she heard Uncle Yan shout, "Liu Da, come and help." ”

Liu Da jumped out from behind the door and restrained the grandmother with Yan Bo left and right.

The grandmother struggled and said, "Let go of me, I am a serious common man, you can't bully the common people." ”

Yan Bo and Liu Da turned a deaf ear and tied her up and threw her into the firewood room. When she saw the Wei family of three, who were also tied up, she immediately understood everything.

"Tell me, who ordered you?" Jiang Yucheng asked with a look of annoyance.

The grandmother snorted and refused to speak.

Jiang Yucheng exhaled, "It's okay if you don't say it, then I will order someone to send you to the Yongyi Hou Mansion, I want to see who has such a long hand in the Yongyi Hou Mansion and actually reached my Jiang family." ”

After hearing the four words of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, the grandmother's expression changed, and the next moment there was a hint of pride on her face, "The Yongyi Marquis Mansion is not something that cats and dogs can enter, but I am the confidant of Mrs. Shizi, and the acquaintance quickly let me go." ”

Jiang Yucheng smiled, "Really? He instructed Liu Da: "Send her to the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, and say that she admits that she has been ordered by the wife of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion to stun my mother and kill my wife and children in vain." ”

Liu Da picked up the person and was about to leave, but the grandmother was really scared this time. She hurriedly shouted, "I said, I said." ”

Jiang Yucheng motioned for Liu Da to put her down.

"My grandmother ordered me to do it." Mama confessed.

"Who is your grandmother? What does it have to do with the Marquis of Yongyi? ”

Mama said: "My grandmother is a relative of the side branch of the Yongyi Hou Mansion, and the fourth wife of Liu Huaiwen, the nineteenth master of the Liu family, is the Yuan Niang of the Ling family. ”
