Chapter 555: Dirty Water
The Mid-Autumn Festival is the day when Jiang Yaoan pretends to give birth.
In order to better deceive outsiders, she was "born prematurely" for a month, so that when the first birthday banquet was held, the age of the ingots would not seem to be too different.
Early in the morning, Jiang Yaoan entered the delivery room, cyanosis cooperated with Wen Po to be busy acting, Wei Jingluo and Li Xiangling also stayed outside the delivery room, in the evening, the baby's cry resounded through the delivery room, and the mother and child were safe.
When the gatekeeper received the news, he immediately set off firecrackers to celebrate, and also gave meat buns and money to the beggars in the city.
On the second day, everyone knew that the young lady of the Wei family gave birth to a little master for the Wei family, and there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate her, but the Wei family did not let them show up in front of people on the grounds that Jiang Yaoan and the child were very weak, and even when the full moon was drunk, Jiang Yaoan only showed up in a hurry with the child in her arms.
Everyone envied Jiang Yaoan for having a good mother-in-law, who could raise her body with peace of mind, and did not have to worry about the affairs of the house with her children, but a tragedy happened at this time.
A merchant ship bound for Qingzhou from Hanjing was robbed by bandits, and the ship, which was full of merchants and passengers, had been floating in the river for three days, and when it was found, the body on board was already stinking.
It is unknown how much of the ship's belongings were lost, but the 110 lives on board are certain.
Such a tragedy was unheard of, and when the news reached Hanjing, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked.
What's more, after investigation, Su Yunxiang, the embroiderer who had previously sewn a canonization dress for the prince, was also on this ship, were these robbers trying to make money or were they intending to demonstrate to the imperial court?
The bandits in Zhaoling are mostly mountain bandits, even if there are bandits who mix up with the people on the shore to meet the people on the boat, more than 100 people on the boat, how many can escape a few, not all of them will die, if it is not for the ghosts, then it can only be a massacre deliberately carried out by well-trained masters.
His Majesty ordered the news to be blocked, but the impact of the case was so great that it soon became known to everyone.
Everyone speculated about who the murderer would be, and a few days later, the news came from nowhere, and many people pointed the finger at Jiang Yaoan.
Everyone knows that Jiang Yaoan and Wei Jingluo had a quarrel because of Su Yunxiang before, and they went back to their parents' house to live for several days.
If Wei Jingluo really likes the new and hates the old, and falls in love with Su Yunxiang, it is normal for Jiang Yaoan to buy a murderer and kill Su Yunxiang in order to stabilize his position.
But Jiang Yaoan only has a grudge against Su Yunxiang alone, why would he kill a boatload of people?
Some people objected, and some people retorted that Jiang Yaoan did this to hide people's eyes, and if the court decided that this boatload of people was killed by bandits, it would never be able to find out about her.
The people in the city were talking, and the court was also noisy.
In the end, His Majesty decided to let Jiang Yunhua avoid suspicion, and the case was thoroughly investigated by Yushitai.
As soon as the news came out, the rumors intensified, and Jiang Yaoan returned to Zhongyongbo's Mansion with ingots at this time.
Lou Yao knew that Yuan Bao was not born by Jiang Yao, but seeing that he was raised for nothing, he still liked it very much.
"This kid is really similar to Yao'an, when you were a child, chubby, don't cry or make trouble, but it hurts."
"I'm not that fat, am I?"
Jiang Yaoan retorted, and Lou Yao glanced at her: "It's good for you to have a small appetite, it's much fatter than Yuanbao." ”
Lou Yao said a lot of interesting things about Jiang Yao'an when she was a child, and when she put the ingots to sleep, Lou Yao patted the back of Jiang Yao'an's hand and sighed: "Although the child was not born before, but now that the ingots are with you, you can also be relieved, if you have your own flesh and blood in the future, you also need a bowl of water, you know?" ”
Jiang Yao'an was in a bad state before, and Lou Yao was afraid that she wouldn't want to make peace with Wei Jingluo.
After Jiang Yao'an had a miscarriage, Lou Yao grew a lot of gray hair, and the whole person also aged a lot, Jiang Yao helped her brush her ear hair with pain, and said softly: "Mother, my daughter knows, my daughter will treat Yuanbao well." ”
The mother and daughter talked for a long time, but Lou Yao went to rest.
Jiang Yaoan didn't sleep and went to Jiang Yunhua's study.
The light was still on in the study, and Jiang Yunqi had been waiting for her.
Jiang Yaoan walked in and asked, "Third Uncle, did Uncle Suifeng reply to the letter?" Did he save Sister Xiang? ”
"Hmm."
Jiang Yunhua replied concisely, and directly showed her Suifeng's reply.
The letter detailed what happened.
Sui Feng was sent early in the morning to secretly protect Su Yunxiang, those killers secretly mixed up on the ship when the ship docked in Qingzhou, and when the ship sailed out, they first used drugs to stun the people on board, and then they started to kill people, robbed property, and created the illusion that bandits robbed the ship.
Before leaving, the killers left a military order.
The Qin family not only wanted to pull Jiang Yaoan down from the position of Young Lady Wei, but also wanted to detain the lives of this boatload to Jiang Yunyang's head.
Hua Rong and Jiang Yunfei are becoming more and more prestigious in Yuexi, Jiang Yunyang has been ordered by His Majesty to return to the court, everyone knows that he loves his daughter as his life, if he knows that there is a fox and his daughter robbing her husband, it is normal to cut the grass and eradicate the roots in a rage.
And there are so many elites under his command, it is not surprising that he killed a ship full of people.
After reading the content of the letter, Jiang Yao'an's back felt a chill, and there was a faint discomfort in his stomach.
She thought that the Qin family just wanted the position of Young Lady Wei, but she didn't expect their ambitions to be so big, let alone that they would kill a boatload of people.
His chest was pressed and he couldn't breathe, Jiang Yaoan looked at Jiang Yunhua a little confused and asked, "Third uncle, is it right for me to do this?" ”
She deliberately provoked Qin Shuyi, lured Qin Shuyi to make a move, and stubbornly wanted to seize the handle of the Qin family to avenge the unborn child, but she killed more than 100 lives.
She didn't kill anyone, but her hands seemed to be covered in blood.
"If there is only one human life, you can't bring down the Qin family," Jiang Yunhua concluded, and then said, "If the Qin family wants to transfer military power, sooner or later they will have to pour dirty water on the Jiang family, and if this boatload of people does not die, others will also die." ”
Jiang Yunhua was very calm, calm to the point of being a little ruthless, but he also rescued Jiang Yaoan from guilt.
Those people did not die because of her, but because of the wolf ambition of the Qin family, she knew that they died unjustly, and she should bring down the Qin family and bring the murderer to justice.
Jiang Yaoan didn't stay long in the study before going back.
Two days later, Jiang Yunyang arrived in Hanjing with his soldiers and horses.
He entered the palace as usual, but after leaving the palace, he was not in a hurry to go home, but first led the troops to surround the Wei family, and when Wei Jingluo arrived, he gave Wei Jingluo a whip in front of everyone.
He marched all year round, and with a whip, he whipped Wei Jingluo's skin and flesh.
No one in the Wei family dared to stop him, and Wei Jingluo didn't even dodge.
Jiang Yunyang sat on the back of the horse and looked at Wei Jingluo condescendingly: "When I handed Yao'an to you, I said that if you dare to let her suffer a little injury, I will let you return it ten times and a hundred times, can you recognize this whip?" ”
Wei Jingluo knelt down on his knees and said word by word: "The son-in-law knows his mistake, but he is punished by his father-in-law!" ”
