In the last book, it was said that there was a bearded man outside who replied to Xin Yao.

Jiang Xinyao drank a cup of hot tea, stabilized her mind, walked out of the bedroom, and sat behind the screen.

I only heard the humanitarian: "The owner, those two thieves can't stand the beating, and they have all confessed." ”

"So fast?" Jiang Xinyao said curiously.

"It's just two seeds." The bearded man sneered: "These two people specialize in killing people and buying and selling goods, and they are veterans in this industry. A few years ago, a mother-in-law surnamed Xu took 10,000 taels of silver tickets through the middleman, found them, and promised to give another 5,000 after the matter was completed. There is a rule in this industry, they are only responsible for taking jobs, regardless of the reason, so the real people behind the scenes, they have not been in contact. ”

Jiang Xinyao sneered: "Fifteen thousand taels of silver, just want to buy our lives, this is too little." ”

The bearded man said: "Boss, how to act, just command." ”

Jiang Xinyao coughed and said: "This big brother, we are all good citizens, try the case, investigate the case, and leave it to the government." I know who did it. ”

The bearded man said magnificently: "The owner doesn't need to be afraid, Cheng Liu, I have a few brothers who have died on the road, and it is easy to check someone." ”

Jiang Xinyao shook her head and said, "No need. In a few hours, someone will come to the house, how to say it, Brother Cheng knows it. Here are five thousand taels of silver, and I am really grateful to all of you for your dedication to protect the safety of me, my mother, and my younger brother these days. The eldest brothers are all well-known people, so let's divide them and buy some food for the elderly and children in the family, which is also good. Microclouds. ”

Weiyun stepped forward, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, and handed them to Cheng Liu with both hands.

Cheng Liu unceremoniously stuffed it into his arms, his sword eyebrows raised: "In this way, I will accept it on behalf of my brothers." In the future, wherever there is a place where there are brothers, the fourth lady can only speak. The brothers will saddle the horses before and after the fourth lady. ”

Jiang Xinyao couldn't help but chuckle, thinking that she should also hug her fist and say that the green mountains do not change, and the green water flows for a long time.

Just before she finished thinking about it. That Cheng Liu had already come out with his fists clenched.

When Cheng Liu walked away, Weiyun stepped forward and removed the screen, patted his chest and said in fear: "Miss, I'm scared to death." The man had a full beard. He was tall and his eyes widened, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to approach. ”

Jiang Xinyao smiled faintly: "Some people, who look fierce on the outside, but act in a bright and upright manner, are always more frank than those who are honey-bellied swords." It's almost dawn, I'll tilt it for a while, and someone from the house will just wake me up. It's been a long night. ”

……

Also feeling that the long night was long was Aunt Zhou. I heard someone report that the second master hurried out of the house in the middle of the night, and he didn't even go to the old lady's room. I don't know what's wrong. Aunt Zhou leaned on the brocade pillow, squinting, thinking in her heart.

If she hadn't heard a sentence or two at the old lady's door that day, she really couldn't be ruthless. Not surprisingly, tonight, the three Gu mothers and sons have all been buried in the fire. She is the dignified wife of the second room of the Jiang Mansion. Everything that the Gu family snatched from her back then is now back in its original form.

Gu Yuzhen, Gu Yuzhen, your life is gone, see how you are still fighting with me?

Why did you say that Aunt Zhou didn't make a move every two years, the most important thing is that she was afraid of Jiang Hongsheng. The kick two years ago always came to her mind, and when she thought of the man's cold and cruel eyes, Aunt Zhou couldn't help but be afraid.

She had thought. When the Gu family leaves the house, the second master will definitely spoil her as he did in Yangzhou Mansion back then. At that time, even if Gu is the wife of the main house, he will not be allowed to shrink in the shabby place in the countryside.

Unexpectedly, the second master would go back to the old house to live for a few days after half a month, and he would either rest in the study in the house. Or rest at Aunt Liu's place, she thinks every day, and the figure she is looking forward to has never appeared in the room for two years. Yusheng was full of resentment, and Luo Muxiang Zhongyan had not returned, how could she endure it.

She knew that the old lady was thinking about her. had to take a step back and let the second master take over the Hui family, but the resentment in Aunt Zhou's heart that had been the same for ten years was not so easy to soothe. Those bleak nights, cold to the heart, she kept her eyes open until dawn, grief-stricken, and her heart was like ashes. Thinking about it, she finally realized a truth, as long as the Gu family lives in this world for one day, she will die, and she will only be an aunt.

Aunt Zhou smiled gloomily, her face was indescribably hideous.

……

Jiang Hongsheng rushed to the old mansion all the way and rushed to Yiyuan. The eyes were full of devastation, ruins and broken walls, a miserable scene, and the three souls lost seven souls on the spot, and their faces were as white as paper and sat on the ground.

Xia He saw that the second master's expression was wrong, and hurriedly said: "The second master, the wife, the young lady, and the little young master are all fine, and the slave maid will take you there." ”

Jiang Hongsheng grabbed Xia He's hand and said hurriedly: "Is this true? ”

Xia He nodded.

Jiang Hongsheng's soul returned to its original place at this time, and he felt that the blood on his body was flowing again. He got up sharply and said sharply, "Don't lead the way yet!" ”

After tossing and turning around a few courtyards, seeing the pale face, holding the sleeping Brother Hao, and Gu Yuzhen, who was crying softly, Jiang Hongsheng stepped forward and hugged his wife and children in his arms, choking up.

Jiang Xinyao rushed to see this scene when she heard the news, she felt sad, stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and sobbed: "Father, please father is the master for us." ”

Jiang Hongsheng let go of the Gu family, picked up his daughter with his own hands, and said, "My son will talk about it carefully." ”

"After my father left, my mother and I lived as usual, and my mother instructed my subordinates to arrange their clothes and prepare to move back to the house in a few days. In the past two years, I have lived with my mother and younger brother, and there are more and more things, and it is very messy to clean up. Mother said that my younger brother is too young and easy to bump into him, so it is better for us to change the yard and live for a few days, so that the next person can clean it up, so as to save no place to put his feet. Unexpectedly, someone actually set fire to the murder in the middle of the night, but fortunately, his mother beat him crookedly, so he escaped the catastrophe. ”

Jiang Hongsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Can you catch the arsonist?" ”

Jiang Xinyao said: "Father, there are people under the Blessed Housekeeper outside, and my father will know as soon as he asks." ”

Jiang Hongsheng walked outside and saw a middle-aged man kneeling on the ground, and when the man saw someone coming, he hurriedly said: "The second master, the little Cheng Qi, was originally a person under the old lady Jiang. A few days ago, the housekeeper Fu visited friends on the New Year, and he was worried that his wife, young lady, and young master would have a room full of women and children, and he was unarmed, so he asked us for a few night patrols. Last night, someone sneaked into the old house and set fire to it, but everything else was fine, except for the three main houses in Yiyuan. The little ones saw the fire in Yiyuan, and rushed to put out the fire, one of the brothers happened to meet the two thieves who were hiding in the dark and preparing to escape, and they were caught on the spot, tied up tightly and locked in the firewood room, and the little ones were immediately interrogated, this is the confession of the two people, please look at the second master. ”

With that, he took out two pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them to Jiang Hongsheng.

Jiang Hongsheng glanced at him roughly, was furious in his heart, and said loudly: "Where is the thief?" You lead the way. With that, he followed Cheng Qi out of the door.

Gu handed Brother Hao, who was sleeping soundly, to the nurse, and the mother and daughter looked at each other, did not speak, and sat and waited for Jiang Hongsheng to come.

After a while, Jiang Hongsheng returned to the room with a blushing face, and stopped talking. Xin Yao saluted her father and silently withdrew.

That night, the lights in Gu's room were on until dawn, and no one knew what the couple said in the room. Early the next morning, Jiang Hongsheng returned to Jiang's mansion and took away the two arsonists who were beaten to death.

……

On the day Jiang Hongsheng left, Jiang Fu came back from the dust, and saw that Yiyuan was in a mess, and he rushed to the young lady before he had time to wash.

After listening to Li's mother's narration, Jiang Fu felt related to him, and couldn't help but complain about Cheng Liu's gang.

Xin Yao hurriedly interrupted: "Fu Bo, how are things going in the capital?" ”

Steward Fu stopped at this time, took out the title deed from his sleeve, and handed the deed to Xin Yao: "Miss, this is the deed of a five-entry house in the east of the city, it is really a coincidence, the family moved back to the north after the New Year, and is in a hurry." This is 500 acres of land deed, from the Desheng Gate 20 miles of the road to Shangzhuang, I have been to see, back to the mountains and water, is a good place, the crops in the field are good, more than 100 tenant farmers, life is still passable, but the houses are dilapidated. A total of nearly 50,000 taels of silver were spent in both places. ”

Jiang Xinyao said with a smile: "Fu Bo has worked hard this time, so take a good rest for two days." ”

Jiang Fu said: "Miss, I can't rest, I have a bunch of things in Yangzhou, I have been thinking about it all the way, and I can't let it go." ”

Xin Yao said with a smile: "Fu Bo, this trip back to Yangzhou, you look for someone who can take over you, take it with you for some time, and then take care of the shop for him." ”

Jiang Fu hurriedly said: "Miss, didn't you say that you would let me be the big shopkeeper?" You can't backtrack. ”

Xin Yao said with a smile: "Fu Bo, Yangzhou is such a big place, what is the meaning of being a big shopkeeper, if you want to do it, you will naturally go to the capital." ”

When Jiang Fu heard this, he hurriedly said, "Miss, do you mean ......?"

"The Buddha said, 'Don't say', you do what I say, you can't be wrong, when the whole master comes back, the three of us will discuss it together."

Jiang Fu was overjoyed.

Xin Yao said again: "Yiyuan is burned like this, Fu Bo, you must be re-cultivated, you must be as it was, so as to save your grandfather from feeling distressed." This money, Jiang Fu will come out. It's good for my father to see such a shocking scene, Cheng Liu has done his best, you can't say more, you thank them on my behalf, the green mountains are always there, the green water is long, and there will be a place to use it in the future. ”

Jiang Fu said: "Miss, don't worry, I can save it." It's Miss, that Zhou Xiuyue was ruthless, if she and the old lady were from the same house, Miss had to be careful! ”

"Fu Bo doesn't have to worry, Aunt Zhou doesn't have a few days to live. In a few days, I will go back to Suzhou Mansion, and you will send someone to take care of this old house, so that it can be taken care of. If you have something, go directly to Jiang's Mansion to find Yinggui. Those apprentices of yours should also be used, run more, call more, and be able to take the lead, right? ”

Xin Yao explained some important things about the Yangzhou store, and Jiang Fu wrote them down one by one.

……

Three days later, Jiang Hongsheng and his son took Gu's mother and son back to their home.

Jiang Fugong sent the second master into the carriage, and when the car was far away, he touched the silver ticket that the second master had just given him in his sleeve, sneered, and beckoned his subordinates to close the door. (..)
