Chapter 334: Another Disappearance
Jiang Yixi remembered that Zheng Yu went to Xiqing, and said coquettishly, "Do you have anything to hide from me?" ”
As he spoke, he gently poked Meng Cimo's chest.
"What's the matter?"
"Why did Zheng Ji let Zheng Yu go to Xiqing?"
Meng Cimo knew that this matter would not be hidden for long, and Zheng Tingting would definitely tell her.
said, "Uncle Zheng suddenly wants to return to Beijing to take up his post. But the western area is where my grandfather and he have been in business for decades, and there must always be a most reassuring person there. My main battlefield is in the area of the capital, and I don't have that ability yet, so I have to let Zheng Yu go first. ”
Jiang Yixi couldn't figure it out, "Why did Zheng Ji suddenly want to return to Beijing to take up his post?" ”
It was pitch black in the tent, but Meng Cimo's eyes still dodged. said vaguely, "He is old and wants to accompany the eldest princess more." ”
Jiang Yi regretted not believing it, "It's just that simple? ”
That's what he wrote in his letter to his grandfather. As for whether there were other ideas, even my grandfather couldn't guess it, and I don't know. ”
Jiang Yixi felt that maybe he was self-inflicted, and Zheng Ji came back not because of her, but really for filial piety. As people get older, their thoughts change when they were younger. Maybe one day Zheng Ji will figure it out, and it is not necessary to reconcile with the He family.
She said, "If Zhenbao catches up with Zheng Yu, can you want him to go thousands of miles away?" ”
Meng Cimo said, "A man's future, the family's prosperity, no one can stop it." ”
"What if you were to go?"
Meng Cimo stepped forward and kissed her, and said with a smile, "I will also go, and I will take you and the children with me." ”
Jiang Yi was satisfied and soon fell asleep.
Meng Cimo couldn't sleep.
He was helpless. I wanted to make Zheng Ji happy, so I wrote how Yin'er looked like him. He suddenly wanted to return to Beijing because he didn't grow up with Xixi, and he wanted to grow up with Yin'er.
Not only did he not want Zheng Ji to return to Beijing, but the old man also didn't want to, including the emperor.
The emperor hoped that Zheng Ji would stay there for a few more years, and the old man hoped that Zheng Ji would come back after cultivating a successor. But Zheng Ji's request could not be refused.
Meng Cimo knew that he was in trouble and didn't dare to tell the truth.
The next day, the cold stars twinkle and the cold wind blows.
Jiang Yi sent Meng Cimo out of the room.
She thought in her heart that her husband was wearing stars and the moon, and she was reluctant to see her in nine days. If Li Zhenbao catches up with Zheng Yu, can he be willing to Zheng Yu go thousands of miles away and meet once in two or three years?
Li Zhenbao is not like himself, he will leave when he says he will go. And Li Zhenbao, there is an elderly queen mother, and King Yong, who is particularly clingy to her, they will not let her go away to the border......
Little Zhenbao wants to be with his lover for a long time, and he still has a long way to go.
In the evening, the men went down and told a stirring news.
There was another case of disappearance of a young woman in the capital, who was the daughter-in-law of a six-rank official.
disappeared five days ago, and the family did not dare to report the case for the first three days, and secretly searched for it by themselves. I didn't find it and reported it to Jingzhao Mansion, and the officials of Jingzhao Mansion searched for two days but didn't find it, and this incident broke out.
This time, the murderer sneaked into the house at night to commit the crime.
This case occurred almost half a year after the disappearance of a young woman. The cases have two things in common: the victims are all daughters-in-law between the ages of 20 and 28, from official families or businesses, and the time and place of the crime are arbitrary.
The government judged that it was the same murderer, who had strong martial arts and was good at smoking.
The emperor was furious and ordered the Jingzhao Mansion and the Criminal Department to unite and solve the case as soon as possible.
The impact of these cases is polarized. The families of officials and wealthy businessmen were terrified, fearing that the next target would be their own home. However, many ordinary people applauded in private, saying that the people who caused the accident were all forcible and robbed, and the murderer had the word "righteousness".
Except for major events, there is no curfew in the capital. Although this is a big matter, it has not yet reached the point of curfew, and it is impossible to have a daily curfew before the case is solved.
Officials' homes and wealthy merchants had to step up their nighttime precautions.
The little daughter-in-law and Mrs. Meng were relatives who had turned a corner, and the third lady sighed when she heard it.
"Poor man, I'm afraid I'm dead. Even if you come back alive, you will either enter the family temple or worship the Buddha for many years, and you will not come out to see people again. ”
The old lady was frightened, and said to the men, "Let the guards and the night watchwoman take care of it, and don't let anything happen at night." ”
Second Master Meng said, "Don't worry, there are so many secret guards in our family, as well as guards and mothers-in-law who patrol the night, and nothing happens at night." ”
After speaking, I felt that I had talked too much. The sister-in-law beat the eldest brother, didn't it happen at night.
He coughed and glanced at Cheng Guogong out of the corner of his eye.
Cheng Guogong didn't like to hear this, and felt that the second child was ridiculing himself.
He snorted lightly and glanced at Liu Shi who was directly opposite. thought in his heart, if the murderer didn't come to rob her for a long time, he would definitely not be able to snatch her......
Liu's gaze swept towards him, and his gaze turned elsewhere.
The old man said, "Don't worry at home, don't go out if you little daughters-in-law have nothing to do." ”
His gaze looked in Meng Yue's direction.
What he is most worried about is this eldest granddaughter.
Jiang Yixi didn't care much about this case, because the Wuke Township trial was about to start. She gets up early every day to make soup and cook, and has people send it to Jiang's house to Jiang Xun.
On the 9th, 12th, and 15th of October, the three township examinations of Wuke were held as scheduled.
The first horse shot, the second step shot, and the third game of strategy.
The day after the last exam, Jiang Xun came to Fushengju in person. The old man was in Jinyuan, and when he saw him coming, he also went to Fushengju, and asked people to invite Qu Xiu and Hu Jiwen.
The old man listened to Jiang Xun's report and said that he would definitely win, and the ranking would not be too low.
Jiang Chen is only sixteen years old, if he can achieve this achievement, it can be said that he is young and promising.
The old man smiled and narrowed his eyes, in his opinion, Jiang Xun was his closed little disciple.
Jiang Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the small kitchen to cook more dishes, and invited them to drink and eat in the floating residence.
The list was released on October 18.
In the morning, the morning sun is like fire and the sky is blue.
Jiang Xun took Jiang Da to the front of the Jingzhao Mansion to see the list.
There are many fewer people who take the martial arts examination than those who take the Wenju examination, and there are fewer people who are admitted, and only 30 people are admitted to the martial arts examination today.
There are hundreds of people watching the list, and the black pressure is squeezed together. There are also female dependents on the periphery, sitting in carriages.
It is likely that there is a young lady from an official family sitting in those carriages, which one of them has a fancy, and the family will come to "catch a son-in-law under the list." ”
At the end of the day, a gong sounded, and the official took the "gold list" and pasted it on the door of the office.
A crowd of people flocked up.
A servant sang aloud the names of the children on the list, singing from back to front.
When he heard "Seventeenth, Jiang Xun, Jeju people ......", Jiang Dae stood up together.
He smiled and shouted, "Second Master, you won, you've won, seventeenth." ”
Jiang Xun was also happy to see his teeth and eyes.
The two squeezed out of the crowd, and people all looked at the teenager with envy.
Heroic and handsome, with outstanding temperament. is still so young, at most sixteen or seventeen years old, not to mention the youngest in this subject, and such a small move is rare in the past......
