"Jianghu people?" Chenguang frowned.

"Yes. Cangqiu has four major villages, namely Wanren Villa, Mingjian Villa, Feihe Villa and Feixia Villa. The Yuan family of Wanren Villa and the Jin family of Mingjian Villa were both famous weapons dealers. Later, Wanren Villa united with the imperial court, gave up other industries, and created elite weapons for the imperial court, and became a military dealer for the imperial court. For a long time, the correspondence between the imperial court and Wanren Villa relied on the Yan family, and later the Yan family committed a crime, and Wanren Villa was not spared, and was surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court.

Feihe Villa had business dealings with Wanren Villa, and it was not left behind, and the others included Peacock Village, Jiuhuazhuang, Tibetan Sword Village and Wanmei Village in the Seven Small Villages, all because of their dealings with the imperial court in the arms business, which attracted the disaster of killing. After that, Cangqiu no longer used civilian merchants, but set up a military yamen, and the imperial court made its own weapons, and after that, there were no more people like Wanren Villa who operated their own weapons. ”

Arms dealers are different from other imperial merchants, because they are manufacturing weapons, their identities are special, and their business is sensitive, although they can get a prominent position if they do well, they can master the weapons of a country, even if they are cautious, they are easy to provoke death.

"The famous sword villa only focuses on the folk sword casting process, after the Wan Qian Villa was destroyed, the famous sword villa once stopped the sword casting business, until the new emperor ascended the throne, the famous sword villa began to cast swords again in the past two years. Mingjian Villa has always been very restrained, if it weren't for this investigation of Yan Ying, I would have forgotten that there are still two big villages and three small villages in Cangqiu Country that still exist in the world. ”

"Is there anything suspicious about Famous Sword Villa?" Chenguang saw that he focused on the Famous Sword Villa, and asked suspiciously.

"Suspicious doesn't count. The owner of Sword Mountain Villa died of illness seven years ago, leaving behind a young lady and twin daughters, and the person who is now in power is none other than the owner's wife. The owner's wife took charge of the family after her husband's death, and the famous sword villa was run impressively, and in the past two years, it has reopened the sword casting business in a timely manner, gaining fame and fortune. ”

Chenguang couldn't find the point in his words, and looked at him suspiciously.

Chang Xi smiled.

"The people I sent out spent a lot of means, all the way to the ancestral home of the Xie family, and finally found a related person, although it was not of much use, but I accidentally heard an interesting news. That person used to be an errand boy by Mrs. Xie's side, when Mrs. Xie was still alive, the Xie family and the Yan family had a lot of dealings, and the relationship between the two families was good, and when Mrs. Xie passed away, this person was in poor health because of his old age, so he received the grace of the master, redeemed himself, and the family left Yicheng and returned to his hometown to become a small landlord. As for the interesting news I heard from him, His Highness should ask him personally, I brought the person, and His Highness can summon him at any time. ”

Chenguang was confused, she couldn't help but be curious, thought for a while and said, "Then now, let him come." ”

Chang Xi agreed.

Chenguang sat on the bed, put down the curtain, and soon Chang Xi ushered in an old man who was sincerely afraid.

Chenguang sat him down and asked him a few words, his answer was similar to what Chang Xi relayed to her, the old man knew all about what happened before the Yan family was destroyed.

Because of the relationship between the Yan family and the Xie family, the old man met Yan Ying's grandfather and father several times. According to the old man, although Yan Ying's grandfather and father were born in Yicheng Wang, they were open-minded and heroic, and liked to make friends, whether they were powerful or reckless, as long as they were benevolent and righteous, they were willing to make friends.

When it came to the Xie family, who had used slander to bring down the Yan family who had been helping them, the old man was speechless, he was not good at talking about the old master behind his back, so he was naturally speechless.

"Tell me about the little son of the Yan family." Chang Xi reminded with a smile.

The old man came back to his senses and spoke obediently about Yan Ying.

He has also seen Yan Ying three or twice, the Yan Ying he described to Chenguang is not the Yan Ying that Chenguang knows, the old man said, Yan Xiaogongzi is smart and naughty, the first time he met it was a boy who climbed to the fruit tree to pick fruits, and then grew up, although he became more stable, but he had many ghost ideas when he laughed, and he was a very lively child.

Yan Ying equals "climbing trees" equals "ghost ideas" equals "very" lively......

Who is this talking about?

"It's not for you to say this, it's for you to say your fiancée, Yan Xiaogongzi's fiancée." Chang Xi said.

Unmarried, married, wife?

Chenguang was startled and frowned.

"Oh, the son said that the fiancée, the fiancée of the little boy Yan is the second girl of Wanren Villa. The second girl of the Yuan Dynasty saw the old slave once, it was still in the Yan Mansion, the second girl of the Yuan Er has been following behind the little boy Yan, the two of them seem to be getting better, I heard that the two of them are married, but unfortunately the two families suffered later. At that time, the old slave thought that the children of the two families were dead, but one year later, the old slave and his wife went to Shucheng to sell goods, passed by the famous sword villa, and caught up with the famine nearby. The old slave couple passed by there, and at first glance, they felt that the young lady of Mingjian Villa looked like the owner's wife of Wanren Villa, and then took a closer look, hey, what a coincidence, that young lady was actually the second girl of Wanren Villa! ”

"What's going on?" Chenguang asked in surprise.

"The old slave doesn't know either. The wife of the owner of Mingjian Villa and the wife of the owner of Wanren Villa are cousins, so I think it's because of this relationship. When the family was in trouble, the second girl was only a few years old, and she was also pitiful, it was great to survive! The old man couldn't help but sigh.

"You can't be mistaken?"

"In the past, Mrs. Yuan would take the second girl of Yuan to the Yan family as a guest, at that time, the lord and Mrs. of the Xie family were also frequent visitors to the Yan family, and the mother-in-law of the old slave family had seen Mrs. Yuan several times when she accompanied her, and Mrs. Yuan's character was not like the woman in the rivers and lakes at all, but like the lady in Yicheng, the mother-in-law of the old slave family had received grace and would not admit her mistake. Again, the most special thing about the second girl of the Yuan Er is that there is a red birthmark on the back of her left hand, which the old slave specially paid attention to when giving porridge, and the wife of the owner of the Famous Sword Villa also has it on the back of her hand. If this can still admit mistakes, it can only be said that it is too coincidental. ”

"You haven't mentioned the matter of Miss Yuan Er to others, have you?" After a moment of silence, Chenguang asked.

"No, no." The old man replied repeatedly, "If that lady is really the second girl of Yuan, she is still alive and can live a good life, and the old slave is too late to be happy, how can she talk everywhere." Not only the old slave, but the old slave also told the mother-in-law of the old slave's family, and he never told anyone else about it. If the girl hadn't asked the boy, the old slave wouldn't have said anything even when he went to the grave. ”

He originally wanted to say "forced questioning".
