Chapter 72: Counting is Counting
At night, the palace of King Yu was quiet.
A dark shadow appeared at the back door of King Yu's mansion. The dark shadow looked a little emaciated, and she only watched as she sneakily pushed a cart away.
The sound of the wheels of the car pierced the quiet night.
The shadow walked to a dilapidated courtyard, which was pitch black, with only a few insect chirps. It sounds extra abrupt in the silence of the night.
"I'm coming, come out." Hotaru shouted boldly, but her voice trembled a little. Even if Jiang Wan was by her side, she was still worried about the consequences of this incident.
Once she fails, she doesn't even want to talk about her mother and Mama Zhang, and she also brings her young lady in, she really doesn't know what to do.
The surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and Hotaru could only hear her own rapid breathing. Did they find something? This made Liu Hotaru very worried, and she found that her palms were already full of sweat.
Suddenly, there was a sound, and Hotaru looked over in shock. There was some light in the dilapidated courtyard, faint, but at least it was clear in view.
Out of it came a man, masked. In the past, she had seen him a few times.
"You're here! Got it done? The person who came just stood by the door and didn't walk towards the firefly.
Liuying nodded nervously, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "Yes, it's done?" What about my mother and Mama Zhang? ”
The man snorted coldly and said, "Let me see if I'm dead first." ”
Liuying paused for a moment, then pointed to the board car beside her, and said, "She is here, I stabbed her directly into the heart and died." If you don't believe it, you can come and watch. ”
A white cloth fluttered on the cart in front of him, and Jiang Wan was lying under the cloth.
The man was about to come over to see, when he heard Liuying say again, "You let me see my mother and Mama Zhang first." I've already brought the corpses, but what about them? ”
These were taught by Jiang Huan, and Liuying did not dare to slack off.
The person in front of him didn't know the details of Jiang Huan, and he wouldn't put the little girl in front of him in his eyes, so he didn't care too much, so he clapped his hands and said, "Bring people out." ”
When the man's voice fell, he saw two more people coming out of the house, holding the fourth aunt and Mama Zhang respectively.
"Mother, Mama Zhang......" Liuying was a little excited for a while, and her eyes were already moist.
When the fourth aunt heard Liuying calling her, tears suddenly flowed down. In the past few days of being locked up, Mama Zhang has already told her everything about Liuying. At this time, she can still see her biological daughter, how can the fourth aunt not be excited.
"You go and examine the body." The masked man commanded.
The two of them let go of the fourth aunt and Mama Zhang, and then walked to the cart. Hotaru stepped back to the side nervously and frightened. The two men lifted the white cloth directly. And at the moment when she opened them, Jiang Wan suddenly opened her eyes, and when she turned around, her two hands had already clasped the necks of the two of them respectively, hitting their heads directly, and pretending to be dizzy and pushing them to the side.
The masked man didn't expect it, and he drew his sword to capture the fourth aunt as a hostage. Seeing this, Jiang Wan picked up a stone beside her and threw it accurately, hitting the man's wrist directly.
The masked man was in pain, the long sword fell to the ground, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he wanted to slip away. Jiang Wan stepped forward quickly, kicked her feet, and directly grabbed the masked man's arm with her strength, pulled him, buckled his neck, and asked coldly, "Say, who sent you." ”
The masked man looked at Jiang Wan coldly, and suddenly his expression froze a little. Jiang Wan secretly said that it was not good, and immediately pulled his face towel, but saw that the corner of the man's mouth had overflowed with blood.
As soon as Jiang Wan let go, the man fell straight down, out of breath.
He committed suicide by poisoning again.
Jiang Wan immediately connected this person with the dead soldiers who were on the hunting ground at that time. Could it be that they are the same people? But why kill her?
Could it be that she was punishing her for saving Jiang Che? This seems to be the only plausible explanation. Thinking of this, Jiang Wan was ready to ask Liuying. At this time, I saw Liuying pounce up, hugged the fourth aunt, and the mother and daughter cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain. Mama Zhang on the side also wiped her tears silently.
Even if Jiang Che had any questions, he couldn't ask them now, so as to disturb their mother-daughter reunion.
After the mother and daughter cried for a while, Liu Ying first wiped away her tears, took the fourth aunt's hand and said, "Mother, this is our great benefactor." If it weren't for the young lady's righteous action and coming up with such a method, I really don't know what to do. I definitely can't save my mother and Mama Zhang. ”
The fourth aunt looked at Jiang Wan and said, "I know you are Xie Qi's daughter, but you are not like her at all." You, like the Flowing Firefly, are hard-working children. Thank you for his ruthlessness, unrighteousness, and evil, and sooner or later he will be punished. Thanks to you this time, Xie Ning, thank you. ”
Jiang Wan waved her hand and said indifferently, "It's just a gesture, the fourth aunt doesn't have to be polite." Hotaru has done so much for me, and I should be grateful to her. I think I'm going to repay her for that. ”
Liuying hurriedly said, "Miss, don't say that. There is very little that the slave can do for the young lady, and the young lady is as kind to the slave and the maid as a mountain. ”
Jiang Wan smiled, "Liuying, your identity is already clear, why do you still call me one young lady after another?" I can't stand it. ”
Jiang Wan was joking, but she heard Liuying say seriously, "The slave maid is not the fifth lady of the Xie family, the slave maid is Liuying, not surnamed Xie." If the young lady is the young lady of the slave, she will always be the young lady of the slave. ”
Jiang Wan was quite moved in her heart, knowing that she didn't believe in the wrong person.
"Do you want to continue to follow me, or take care of your mother?" Jiang Wan asked, seeing that Liuying was hesitating and not embarrassing her, she said, "You take your mother away, right?" Your mother and daughter have been separated for more than ten years, and you should be together well to make up for those lost times. ”
Jiang Wan thought of herself, and she couldn't remember the time she spent with her mother. Because she hadn't even started to remember at that time.
"Thank you, Miss. In fact, the slave maid also wanted to continue to serve the young lady, but the slave and maid knew that if she took her mother with her, it would affect the young lady even more. ”
"Don't say anything that is burdensome to this kind of life. Besides, I've never been afraid. Letting you accompany your mother is also for your safety. Those people can't do anything to me, it's terrible to do something bad to you. ”
"That's what Miss said."
Jiang Wan thought for a moment and said, "I have a house in Quzhou, you go there to find a person surnamed Ji and give him this jade pendant." When he sees it, he will bring you there. And it will keep you safe. ”
Jiang Wan said as she handed over the jade pendant on her body to Liuying. That house was just bought by her when she thought the scenery was pleasant, thinking that she could live there with Shen Lian in the future, away from the imperial capital, and live a free life. But all these years, it hasn't come in handy.
"Miss, this can't be ......" Liu Ying wanted to excuse herself, but Jiang Wan forced the jade pendant into her hand.
"You and I are master and servant, so don't be polite to me. The house had been vacant, but someone had helped to watch it. You used to live, and you can still be a little popular. Maybe I'll stay for a while when I'm free. When the time comes, you don't have to clean, you can live and eat ready-made. ”
"Miss......" Liuying's face was full of emotion.
"Okay, don't mother-in-law. After I went, I lived a good life and made up for what I lost. Just remember to write to me to tell me that you are safe. ”
"Yes, miss. The slaves and maids remembered. ”
"It's not too early, don't they have someone to come and answer. Let's go early. ”
"Yes, miss. When it is safe in the future, the slave will definitely come back to see you. ”
Liuying, Mama Zhang and the fourth aunt were about to leave, Jiang Wan remembered what she was about to ask, and hurriedly stopped Liuying and asked, "Liuying, did that person find you, before or after planning the matter of the fourth aunt?" ”
Seeing Jiang Wan asking, Liu Ying replied truthfully, "It was before." The slave and maid were in the prime minister's house, and one night someone suddenly looked for the slave and maid, and he told the slave and maid the life experience of the slave and maid, and then told the slave and maid that he could help the slave and maid, as long as the slave and the maid promised him one thing. ”
"What's the matter?"
Hotaru shook her head, "He didn't say it at first. He only said that if he could use me when the time came, he commanded me to do it. The slave didn't think much about it at the time, just thinking that she could avenge her mother and brother and agreed. Later, Wang Ying was punished, and the person didn't look for me again. It's just that they have been detaining Niang and Mama Zhang. The young lady went to participate in the autumn hunt, but the slave maid was not unwell, but was temporarily told that she could visit her mother and Mama Zhang, so the slave maid went. The days had been peaceful, but the slave and maid were always worried about what they wanted the slave to do. It wasn't until the second day after you came back, Miss, that they suddenly found the slave and maid again, saying that they would let the slave kill Miss, otherwise they would kill both the mother and Mama Zhang. ”
Jiang Wan nodded, looking the same as she had guessed. Letting Hotaru kill him wasn't planned from the beginning, but after the events in the hunting ground. The time is so strange, then it is likely that the motive for killing her is because she saved Jiang Che.
Finding out the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion so clearly, and being able to design to help the fourth aunt avenge her grievances, Jiang Wan can only think of one possibility, they have someone in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The man had been hiding in a corner of the Prime Minister's Mansion, controlling it all with one hand.
So who will it be?
Jiang Wan didn't have time to think about it, so he convected to Liu Ying, "Okay, I'm done asking, you guys should leave quickly." ”
Liuying nodded, helped the fourth aunt, and left with Mama Zhang. Watching them leave, Jiang Wan was a little reluctant. Once people have feelings, they will really be sentimental. She has lived a seemingly ruthless life for many years, and now she is a little unaccustomed to this.
"Liuying, is this really the fourth lady of the Xie family?" Jiang Wan heard the fourth aunt whispering.
