Chapter 100: Old Cases

A dimly lit room.

Quietly.

"Squeak".

The moonlight leaked into the house like a floodgate, rushing in with the green mountains.

Qingshan got used to it, and saw Jiang Jinmu sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a straw doll in his hand.

His heart throbbed violently, and the hand that fell under him curled up and opened, "Why don't you light the lamp?" ”

After Qingshan finished speaking, he quietly lit the candlestick, and then slowly walked to Jiang Jin's side, kneeling down on one knee, "What's wrong?" ”

When his eyes touched the straw man, he felt like he had been pricked and even felt a throbbing pain in the corners of his eyes, "When I wasn't there, something happened." ”

He used an affirmative sentence.

"Hmm."

A light cloud-like voice echoed Aoyama's words.

Jiang Jin moved his somewhat stiff neck, told Qingshan what happened when he left, and then asked him, "Is there a problem with the Zhu family?" ”

Aoyama was stunned by the question.

In the end, he replied resignedly.

That's what she is, he knows.

"Zhu Kuang was surrounded when he went home, and the Zhu family wanted to come to see you, but Zhu Kuang stopped him, saying that he was afraid of scaring you."

"There's nothing abnormal, you can trust the Zhu family a little more."

Jiang Jin nodded, "I see." ”

She lowered her head, glanced at the straw man she was holding in her hand, and slowly spread out her other hand into a fist.

Inside was a crumpled note full of pinholes.

Qingshan couldn't control his muscles and his eyes jumped slightly.

"You know whose character this is."

Jiang Jin said with certainty.

"The details of the Prince Witch Gu case, Qingshan, can you tell me?"

She was still young at the time, and even her memory was shocked by her brother's death.

Aoyama lowered his head, as if hesitating.

"Aoyama, I've grown up."

Jiang Jin understands that everyone is here to protect her, and everyone did successfully protect her in the previous life, so she has to turn around and protect everyone in this life.

"I understand that my father, including you and my mother, wants me to look forward and move forward, but if this matter is not resolved, it will always become an existence that holds me back."

"Don't worry, I won't rot in the past and be blinded by hatred."

"I want to know this, in order to avoid danger as much as possible, and I can't be that the enemy is all on the front door, and I am still confused, right?"

"Aoyama, I want to know."

She lowered her head, a pair of earnest eyes on Qingshan, and she wanted to find a trace of relief on his face.

"Then you have to promise me that you won't hurt yourself like before."

Aoyama met her eyes.

"That's not because you're naughty, it's not about you."

Jiang Jin's shoulders drooped and he agreed in a low voice, "Of course I know, you have said these words to me countless times, and I know that you have never blamed me." ”

"Well, I'll tell you what happened."

"Back then, when the young master sat alone in the courtyard and fell into the water, the old master and I both guessed if the young master saw something that shouldn't be seen."

"After that incident, the old man already had a premonition during the mourning period, and he has been busy protecting the Jiang Mansion and the Bo Mansion."

"Not long after, something happened to the prince's side, and a witch Gu was found in the mansion, you must know that the emperor is concerned about this matter, and he abolished the prince and imprisoned people at the moment."

"At that moment, the old man realized that the little young master might have seen the person who put the witch Gu, and he also understood that the prince was wronged."

"The prince is lenient and benevolent, although he is still young, but the talent he shows has already satisfied all the ministers, so there are not a few people who ask for mercy."

"But I didn't expect the emperor to be so serious, and then the princelings in the court, there were not a few who were removed from office and degraded, and everyone in the court was in danger, just when everyone thought that the matter was going to end, a war broke out between the border pass and the Tatars."

"The local garrison Lu Yan collaborated with the enemy and treason, causing 50,000 soldiers to die at the bottom of the valley, and the Tatar attack became more and more ferocious, directly hitting the hinterland, and it was the uncle of the third prince who led the troops to drive away in the later period, which ended the war."

"In the later stage, a thorough investigation found out that the Lu family had correspondence with the abolished prince, and the whole case became that the prince colluded with the border army to rebel and gave him death.

"That's why we can't do anything to those degraded courtiers anymore, although this is true on the surface, but who will know in secret?"

Jiang Jin was stunned when he heard this.

The case of the abolition of the prince and the witch ......

Lu Jiamou Rebellion Case......

It seems that when I was a child, I was too well protected.

"But ......"

Qingshan's words changed, "After the end of the war, there was a three-year-long famine and epidemic, and the children were eaten, and the corpses were floating for thousands of miles, and the imperial court was inseparable from dealing with those princes and former ministers, so that they could survive." ”

"But the prince's old ministers are all virtuous ministers, and seeing that Dayan is like this, there are not a few who have passed away on the way."

"If it weren't for you, my lord wouldn't have lasted that long."

Jiang Jin couldn't tell how he felt after hearing this.

For the first time, she understood how difficult her father was pursuing, so difficult that the efforts of generations might not be able to do.

She looked down at the straw man in her hand again.

Because of this, my brother's life was lost.

Because of this, the people suffered.

It's ridiculous.

Jiang Jin threw the straw man into the charcoal brazier with his backhand, staring at the sea of fire and gradually engulfing the straw man.

Her sanity gradually returned.

"These things have been going on for so long, let's not pursue them first, what we should think about most now is, who is it? Why give me this? ”

Jiang Jin asked and answered himself.

"First of all, the opposition is eliminated." She affirmed, "If they want to hurt me, I can't wait for you to come back." ”

She looked up suddenly, "Could it be someone from the Zhu family?" Are they reminding me not to forget those events? ”

Qingshan shook his head regretfully, "Although there are many children of the Zhu family who are engaged in politics, they are all in neutrality. Originally, the master was too, but the master was the person left by the emperor to the prince, the lord couldn't help it, but the young master, you are different, the Zhu family is the person left by the lord to you, you have to believe them. ”

"Who would that be......"

Jiang Jin bit his thumb and analyzed the current situation.

Giving her this is definitely a reminder.

Reminder what?

Don't forget about hatred?

"Young Master."

Qingshan stopped her, "Don't think about it, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, whether there is this matter today or not, we will still move forward." ”

He smiled softly.

A pair of calloused hands ripped her biting fingers off.

"I will always be with you, from now on, I will not go anywhere, only guard you, don't think about it, huh?"

Jiang Jin certainly believes in Qingshan.

She struggled for a while, then reluctantly agreed.

Aoyama is right, he can't think of any results.

To do it!

When she's strong enough, she doesn't care about these unwarranted threats anymore.

Even though there is a flood beast ahead.

She's going to check it out, too!
