"I've been traveling for many years, and it's normal for me to sleep in the open and not have enough to eat. I don't pay much attention to these tribulations outside of my body. On the contrary, I once went to a relative's house to spend the night, which I still remember vividly. ”

Jiang Zhan said and looked at An Guogong and Yue Shi meaningfully, his eyes mocking.

"At that time, the little guy in the other party's house was disgusted when he saw my down-to-face appearance and turned me away. Fortunately, the daughter of that relative was of good character and kind-hearted, and quietly took me in.

When my stepmother learned about this, she sent someone to the door and stabbed the roof of the house where I lived. That night coincided with heavy rain, and the atlas I had carefully drawn was soaked in water and almost turned into a pile of waste paper.

Every time I think about it, it makes my heart sour. ”

Hearing this, everyone at the scene reprimanded angrily.

"How can there be such a person!"

"Every map drawn by Mr. is a priceless treasure, not to mention that it is completely ruined, or even a little damage is a great loss."

"This is the typical dog looking down on people."

"Sir, it's better to tell the identity of the other party, so that the emperor can punish them!"

In this burst of enthusiastic condemnation, Yue's and Mama Wang's faces gradually turned pale. Especially when Jiang Zhan's gaze swept over them, both of them couldn't help but shake at the same time.

And An Guogong also heard the deep meaning of Jiang Zhan's words in hindsight, thinking of the incident of the Yue clan driving away Jiang Qinglan's brother not long ago, coupled with Jiang Zhan's words "not surnamed Ren but surnamed Jiang", he suddenly realized.

"It's you!?" An Guogong suddenly turned his head to look at Yue.

The Yue clan denied that there were no silver three hundred taels here: "No, it's not me. I haven't seen this person, and I don't know that he is Jiang Qinglan's brother. ”

An Guogong gasped and almost fainted on the spot.

"You!"

"An Guogong."

Jiang Zhan suddenly spoke, directly cutting off the other party's words.

"For the kind of relatives I said, I don't know what Grandpa Guo thinks? If it were you, what would you do? ”

An Guogong, who was named, stiffened, and met Jiang Zhan's sharp gaze in embarrassment, and suddenly sweated like rain.

"I, I ......"

The abnormal pause attracted everyone's side eyes, and seeing more and more people looking at him, An Guogong was even more eager to get into the cracks in the ground.

He swallowed, trying to hide his nervousness.

"Also, maybe the head of the family of the relatives where the gentleman stayed did not know about it, but the people below made their own opinions."

"What does the grandfather of the country think about how the head of the family should deal with the subordinates who make mistakes?"

"Naturally, it will be severely punished!"

Yue's body shook obviously, and it was all because Mama Wang supported her life to not fall.

Jiang Zhan saw their performance, just sneered and turned the topic back to the discussion of the mountains and rivers. The thoughts of other people were also taken away by him, and they had no time to pay attention to An Guogong and his party.

After no one paid attention to him, An Guogong left the inn in a low-key and fast manner. Yue's family also withdrew with his tail between his legs under the support of Mama Wang.

"Old man......"

As soon as she opened her mouth tremblingly, she was slapped hard.

This is not the first time he has been beaten, but it is the first time he has been in public.

Yue Shi covered his face and wailed, sobbing and hiding behind Mama Wang, hoping that no one around would notice her embarrassing scene.

An Guogong asked in a deep voice: "You say, what the hell is going on?" That Ren Feng, how could he be Jiang Qinglan's brother? ”

"The concubine doesn't know."

"You don't know? You drove him out of the house at will without knowing it, and sent people to break the roof and let the rain soak up the map? That's a map of the country's reputation! It's what the emperor wants! ”

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he wanted to strangle Yue's to death.

"You idiot!"

"Old man......"

Yue's tears fell, and he stepped forward tremblingly and hugged the other party's arm to confess.

"When Mr. Jiang entered the mansion, he was indeed suspicious, and the concubine's failure to recognize his identity in time was just an unintentional mistake.

But Jiang Qinglan and An Yueli are different, as Mr. Jiang's relatives, how could they not know his identity. If their mother and daughter had made it clear from the beginning, they would not have made such a fuss today.

Master, if you make a mistake, Jiang Qinglan and An Yueli are also as good as the concubines! ”

"Get out!"

An Guogong threw people away in disgust, "You still have the face to mention others, if it weren't for your heart and mind to say goodbye to Jiang Qinglan, how could there be today's incident."

The emperor has already decreed that I must bring Mr. Jiang and Yutu into the palace tomorrow morning. Otherwise, the entire government will suffer! ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Yue's front door, and ordered strongly.

"I don't care what method you use, I must get Mr. Jiang's forgiveness before tomorrow morning."

Yue Shi sobbed, still unwilling to gamble.

"What if his demands are so excessive that he even lets the concubine die?"

"Then you're going to die!"

An Guogong shouted hysterically, which shook Yue's heart like ashes.

"I'll say it one last time, if you can't ask Mr. Jiang's forgiveness, then you don't have to go back to the Gongfu again."

……

……

At night, dark clouds gradually blanket the sky.

An Guogong wandered around the house restlessly, accompanied by a few muffled rumbling sounds, and the sound of rain came from outside the window.

"Grandpa Guo." The door opened, and the little servant stepped inside.

An Guogong asked urgently, "Is there news!?" ”

"Mrs. Yue has been waiting outside the inn to plead guilty, but Mr. Jiang has never seen her."

"Useless stuff!"

An Guogong slammed the tabletop, and the shaking tea utensils collided with each other.

The little servant swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively, "Now that it has begun to rain outside, Mrs. Yue is only afraid that she will freeze if she stays in the rain?" Otherwise, let's think of something else. ”

"What else can be done? Jiang Qinglan didn't go out early or late, but went to the temple outside the city early this morning to pray for blessings. At present, only Yue Yan sincerely apologizes in order to seek Mr. Jiang's forgiveness. ”

Speaking of this, An Guogong faintly realized in his heart that he had been calculated. But now, even if he knows the truth, there is nothing he can do.

"If you can't get the map after dawn, everyone will die!"

The little girl swallowed in fright, "Then, isn't there still Princess Xiao?" She is Miss Yan of the Guogong Mansion and Mr. Jiang's niece. If you can ask her to come forward and persuade her, maybe there will be a slight turnaround. ”

"You mean, let me beg her?" An Guogong glared angrily, "Make it clear, I'm her father!" How can anyone in the world be Lao Tzu to ask to be a child? It's ridiculous! ”

Half an hour later.

An Guogong stepped out of the carriage and looked through the rain curtain to discern the plaque of the Xiao Wangfu with difficulty.

"Quick, come and knock!"
