Everlasting prosperity

Ghost Shadow Hall, belonging to the third hall of the Xuanqing Gate, is the gathering place for the world's shadow killers, collecting money from people, eliminating disasters for people, and also serving as the general news network of the world, covering everything in the world. It can be said that it knows everything and everything dawn.

200 years ago, the Xuanqing Sect and the Xiao Clan formed a marriage alliance. In order to seize the position of the first sect in the world, the Xuanqing Sect devoted all their efforts to it. However, the main line and eight branches of the tribe, a total of 320 people, were all destroyed, and only one line survived, and only seven people survived.

At that time, the Xiao clan was one of the best sects in Jianghu, while the Xuanqingmen was only a second-rate sect. The marriage between the two families was already puzzling to the world. Unexpectedly, our sect was fighting against the entire Jianghu for the sake of a second-rate sect. Even in the world, even if the century-old foundation is destroyed, they will do their best to protect the Xuanqing Gate all the way to the number one position in the world.

After that incident, the Xuanqing sect sent the seven of them to a distant place in order to protect the survival of the Xiao family, and they kept their identities incognito to prevent the people of Jianghu from seeking revenge.And the battle for World War I 200 years ago also caused heavy damage to the various factions in the world, and each of them has cultivated for a hundred years.

Xuanqingmen also took this time to heal their injuries and gradually develop their power.Gradually, he has firmly established his position as the number one in the world, unshakable.

In order to repay what the Xiao family did for the Xuanqing sect at that time, the sect master made an agreement to return to the sect 200 years ago. Whoever the current sect master is, he must step aside. The new sect master will lead the Xuanqing sect's tens of thousands of people.

This blood jade was a gift from the head of the Xuanqing Sect to the patriarch of the Xiao clan for marriage. In order to protect the clan, the Xiao clan deliberately buried it in the clan cemetery and passed it down from generation to generation. And cause disaster.

Unexpectedly, when the Xiao clan passed into the hands of Xiao Yuzhi's mother, there was an incident, and they had to be invited out. So far, they were in Xiao Yizhi's hands.

Of course, Xiao Yizhi only knew a little about these things, and he didn't know anything about the rest.

"Yizhi, why did you bring me?" Ji Anjun asked.

Xiao Yizhi raised his head and said with a light smile, "What's mine is also yours."

Above the courtroom——

Ji Anjun was sitting on the left side of the upper hall, and Rong Chizi was the one being interrogated this time, and on his right was a person Ji Anjun had never seen before, but this appearance was quite familiar.

But Rong Chizi didn't see Yu Linze who often followed Ji Anjun, so he was a little puzzled.

"Mr. An De, is Mr. Xiao not here?" Rong Chizi couldn't help asking.

"He's not feeling well, so I let him rest." Ji Anjun replied, glanced at the person opposite, and asked again, "May I ask who is it?"

"This one is my King Chen Yang of Gao Anguo." Rong Chizi smiled back, but wondered in his heart, did he feel unwell?He is a person with strong martial arts, how can he fall down at the first word?Maybe something happened, but Ender kept it from him.

"I'm Yu Linyuan, I met Mr. An De." Yu Linyuan nodded slightly to Ji Anjun, and introduced himself politely.

Hearing this, Ji Anjun's breathing stagnated, and then he quickly replied, "Your Highness is polite."

"This case is under the presiding judge, and the prince is monitoring it, so I haven't had a face-to-face meeting with Mr. An De before." Rong Chizi explained.

"So that's the case." Ji Anjun nodded, expressing his understanding.

No wonder they are familiar, he is Yizhi's own brother, heh, this Mu Qi is probably thinking of destroying Yizhi's family because of this person.Ji Anjun thought so.

Rong Chizi nodded to show his understanding, then he slapped the table and shouted suddenly. "Come here, pass on Master Chen and Mrs. Chen!"

Immediately, the two walked into the courtroom slowly.

Ji Anjun looked at the person who came, Mrs. Chen was dressed in white, with jade hair in a bun, with elegant eyebrows, indifferent eyes, light lips and delicate mouth, and a light gown, swaying slowly, like an exiled fairy.

This is the first time Ji Anjun has seen Mrs. Chen, the woman's appearance is really intoxicating, but her heart is not like this.

"Caomin has seen Mr. Mu." Both of them knelt down and respectfully bowed to Rongchizi.

"Master Chen, please tell me about your drunkenness that day." Rong Chizi ordered.

Hearing this, Master Chen cupped his hands again to Rong Chizi, and replied, "I remember that day, one of my merchants, Mr. Hu, invited me to have a business meeting in the Yulou Building at Xushi, and I accepted. When I went, I found a woman from Xiang , Miss Qingliu was in the room, and Mr. Hu said that she was invited to help. During the meeting, we all drank a lot of wine, and Mr. Hu redeemed Miss Qingliu on the spur of the moment, but he dared not bring her back home, it was placed in my house. I was so drunk at the time, I just answered a few words casually, and was helped away by the servants. Later, I really didn’t know what happened. When I woke up, I saw Miss Qingliu lying on the bed. Later, Qingliu went back to Tingyu Tower because of her shame, and this Mr. Hu also left, such a strange thing, even..."

"How did you know that Lin Ru ran away from home?" Rong Chizi interrupted him and asked again.

"On the third day after I got drunk, I went to find her. I only saw a letter and never saw her again." Master Chen replied.

"Mrs. Chen, where were you when Mr. Chen found out that Lin Rushi had left? What did you do? Is there any witness?" Rong Chizi turned to Mrs. Chen, who was kneeling on one side, and asked.

Mrs. Chen raised her head and glanced at Rong Chizi, then lowered her eyes to Master Chen beside her, and said slowly, "That day I was chanting scriptures in the ancestral hall, and the maid Xiaoxiang can testify."

"But Xiaoxiang is already crazy, what you said is irrelevant." Rong Chizi replied, and then shouted, "Come on! Pass on to Mr. Hu and Qing Liu!"

"Caomin has seen Mr. Mu!"

"Mr. Hu, you asked Mr. Chen to go to Ting Yulou for a business meeting, and in the end you left Qingliu in Chen's residence on the grounds that it was inconvenient to bring Xiangnv home. Is this true?" Rong Chizi said slowly, Finally, he raised his voice and asked in a strict voice.

Mr. Hu, who was kneeling in the hall, saw Rong Chizi's stern eyes, couldn't help trembling, and responded, "My lord, there is indeed such a thing."

"It's common to discuss in a restaurant or a fragrant building, but why did you redeem a fragrant girl who couldn't bring you home? What is your intention? Tell me!" Rong Chizi picked up the wooden board in hand and slapped it hard on the table. , staring at his eyes, asked sharply.

Being slapped suddenly by Rong Chizi, Mr. Hu trembled, looked at Rong Chizi tremblingly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then replied, "My lord, I... I was forced by others !"

"Coerced by who?" Rong Chizi narrowed his eyes and asked forcefully.

"Madam Chen's maid, Miss Xiaoxiang." Mr. Hu replied.

Speaking of this, Rong Chizi glanced at Yu Linyuan who was sitting on the side, but the other party was holding a cup of tea, his eyes were empty, it seemed that this case had nothing to do with him, and he didn't care about the progress of the case at all.

Ji Anjun on the side was staring at Mrs. Chen kneeling in the hall all the time, seeing that her face was calm and there was nothing unusual, she couldn't help admiring her.

"Oh? Could it be that the coercion will report himself?" Rong Chizi asked.

"Returning to my lord, it was rumored that a crazy girl who was arrested came from the Chen residence. I sent someone to take a sneak look, and I knew that it was Mrs. Chen's maid, Xiaoxiang." Mr. Hu explained.

Hearing this, Rong Chizi nodded, and asked again, "Qing Liu, is it true that Mr. Chen was drunk that day? What happened after that, please tell me the whole story in detail."

When Qing Liu heard the order, she bowed slightly, looked at Rong Chizi and said, "My lord, that day Mr. Hu invited the slave to help the two of them. Later, as Mr. Hu said, the slave entered the Chen residence. In the morning of the next day, I just obeyed the order and while Mr. Chen was still awake, I lay down next to him and pretended to spend the night."

"Whose orders are you following?" Rong Chizi asked immediately.

"It should be a servant girl, but the servant girl has never seen her." Qing Liu replied.

Hearing this, Rong Chizi gestured to the soldiers around him, and unfolded a portrait in front of Qingliu.

"But this person?" Rong Chizi asked.

"That's right, it's her." Qing Liu replied affirmatively, then tilted her head to think for a while, and said, "Just a few days before the meeting, this person approached the servant girl and gave the servant girl 20 taels of gold He said that in a few days, Mr. Hu will invite his servants to join in the fun, let the servants agree, and then let the servants go back to the mansion with one of the masters surnamed Chen, and just fool around while the master is drunk."

"So, you didn't have sex with Mr. Chen?" Rong Chizi asked.

"It's never happened before." Qing Liu replied while shaking his head.

"In this way, the official knows. This Xiaoxiang found Mr. Hu and Qingliu, and set up a game, making the master think that he

Lin Rushi left sadly after making a mistake. "Rong Chizi summed up the matter.

"But my lord, why did Xiaoxiang do this? So what?" Master Chen asked in confusion, hesitating, not knowing how to ask.

Hearing Master Chen's question, Rong Chizi glanced at Ji Anjun and nodded slightly to him.

"Let's come down and tell Master Chen about this matter." Ji Anjun said, then poured a cup of tea with his hand, and took a sip.

On the opposite side, Yu Linyuan, who had been thinking nothing, suddenly closed his pupils, and looked at Ji Anjun in a blink of an eye, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking at him with interest.

"Xiaoxiang is Mrs. Chen's dowry maid. This is known to all. But there is one more thing that everyone here may not know." Ji Anjun spoke slowly, then stopped suddenly, making a fool of herself.

Rong Chizi frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ji Anjun glanced at Rong Chizi, then stared at Mrs. Chen, and praised, "Mrs. Chen is really as beautiful as a banished fairy."

Hearing this, everyone was at a loss as to what this Ji Anjun was talking about. The case was well-spoken, so why did they talk about Mrs. Chen's appearance?

"Young Master An De, don't play charades." Rong Chizi said.

"My lord, Xiaoxiang colluded with Mr. Hu and Miss Qingliu to deceive Mr. Chen for one person," Ji Anjun said, then looked around, and after confirming that everyone had puzzled eyes, he said, "And this The person is Mrs. Chen."

"Xiaoxiang knows that Mrs. Chen is not loved by Mr. Chen, and has always felt sorry for Mrs. Chen. In addition, Lin Rushi's arrival made Mrs. Chen, who was already unfavored, even more neglected. So Xiaoxiang thought of this way to drive Lin Rushi away. If so." Ji Anjun said slowly, while staring at Mrs. Chen, observing her facial expressions carefully.

But Mrs. Chen remained indifferent, unmoved.

"Drive Lin Rushi away? Then how did she die later?" Rong Chizi asked pretending to be ignorant.

"Xiaoxiang first deceived Mr. Chen. She wanted to use this to drive Lin Rushi away, but she didn't want to see Mrs. Chen murdering Lin Rushi. She saw that Mrs. Chen was holding a white silk in her hand and wanted to strangle Lin Rushi to death. She saw that Mrs. Chen had killed Lin Rushi. In a blink of an eye, they helped her together, strangled Lin Rushi to death, and then threw the body in the barren well." Ji Anjun said, squinting at Mrs. Chen, as if trying to see through this expressionless woman. , See if this woman's heart is black or red.

Hearing Ji Anjun's words, Master Chen looked at Mrs. Chen beside him in shock, as if he felt that this seemingly gentle woman was now kneeling beside him like a ghost crawling out of the ground in human skin.His face was full of horror and disbelief.

"For you, Xiaoxiang secretly found Mr. Guo in the west of the city, imitating Lin Rushi's handwriting, and wrote a letter of unrequited love, and deliberately let Mr. Chen find out. Mrs. Chen was afraid that the matter would be exposed. You have been worried all day long, so you went to the ancestral hall to chant scriptures, because you are afraid that the wronged soul will take your life." Ji Anjun pointed to Mrs. Chen and said.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Chen finally showed a crack on her face, and the indifference in her eyes gradually turned into a hint of sternness. She raised the corners of her mouth and said contemptuously, "This is just your speculation."

Rong Chizi curled his lips and shouted again, "Broadcast to old man Guo!"

"Caomin has seen Mr. Mu!"

"I'm asking you, the one who asked you to imitate Lin Rushi's handwriting to write the letter of unrequited love, but Mrs. Chen's maid Xiaoxiang?" Rong Chizi asked sternly.

"My lord, that's right. I once painted a portrait of Mrs. Chen, and I've seen Xiaoxiang." Old man Guo replied.

Ji Anjun sneered, stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup, drank it down, and then said, "Xiaoxiang feels sorry for you all day long, so she took the initiative to pretend to be crazy and hide this matter for you. I can give you peace of mind, tell me You, she won't tell this matter, and secondly, she will always remind you, don't do stupid things again. "

"But you always suspect that Xiaoxiang will leak this matter, just to use her family members to threaten her. She was finally hurt by you, but for the sake of master and servant for many years, her heart softened. I said something at the time, just to remind Mrs. Chen not to make any more mistakes. At that time, Xiaoxiang was not crazy at all, what I said, is it right, Mrs. Chen?" Ji Anjun said slowly, then stared at Looking at Mrs. Chen, she asked.

Madam Chen turned her head to look at Ji Anjun, raised her chin, and replied, "Yes, she is indeed not crazy."

Hearing Mrs. Chen's reply, Ji Anjun took a deep breath, leaned back, and stopped talking.

"Mr. An De, what happened next?" Yu Linyuan asked suddenly, looking at Ji Anjun with great interest, as if he was listening to a story, while Ji Anjun on the opposite side was like the storyteller in the tavern.

"Later?" Ji Anjun repeated, and then said, "How could we hide from Mrs. Chen about our visit to Mr. Chen? Later, Mrs. Chen quietly silenced Xiaoxiang. Xiaoxiang would never have dreamed of it." , The person I tried my best to protect would actually poison a personal servant girl who has served me for many years for myself. This move completely chilled her heart. She was not crazy, but she was forced to Crazy. When Master Chen and I went to see Xiaoxiang again, she was really crazy."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Chen frowned slightly, her eyes turned red, her eyes were filled with tears, and she said in a trembling voice, "I forced her? Why didn't she force me?"

There was a trace of grievance in this tone.

After hearing this, Mr. Chen, who was kneeling beside him, pointed at Mrs. Chen with trembling hands, and his lips trembled, too shocked to speak.

"Actually, Lin Rushi wasn't really strangled to death by you that day. She just passed out. But it happened to be very cold at that time, and the barren well was extremely cold. She woke up from the cold and gave birth to a child. She Crying and yelling at the bottom of the well, just thinking that someone can hear and save her child." Ji Anjun said suddenly.

As soon as these words came out, Master Chen stared at Ji Anjun with wide eyes, in disbelief.

"It's a pity that it was the Winter Clothes Festival at that time, and the passers-by thought it was a ghost from the Chen residence. After three days, Lin Ru died of hunger and cold at the bottom of the well, and the child would not survive." Ji Anjun Said.

Hearing this, Rong Chizi was a little puzzled, and asked, "What we salvaged that day was just a shriveled corpse, not like a pregnant corpse, how did Mr. Ande know that the child was born?" ?”

"I asked Mr. Xiao about the corpse, and the abdomen of the corpse was flat, but Mr. Chen said that Lin Ru was pregnant with a child, so I guessed that the child should have been born. Later, I let Mr. Xiao go into the barren well again, and it was as expected. I found a small corpse at the bottom of the well." Ji Anjun replied.

"Mr. Chen! What else can you say?" Rong Chizi squinted his eyes, asked in a strict voice, reached out and picked up the wooden board and patted it hard.

Mrs. Chen raised her head slowly, straightened her body, looked at Rong Chizi, took a deep breath, and replied in a daze, "My lord, the criminal woman just wants to know one thing."

"Say." Rong Chizi replied.

Immediately, Madam Chen turned her head to look at Ji Anjun who was sitting upright, and asked, "How on earth do you know this?"

Hearing this, Ji Anjun raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and replied, "Do you remember what I said earlier? Xiaoxiang is your dowry maid, and she is very loyal to you."

Speaking of this, Ji Anjun paused for a moment, and seeing Mrs. Chen's puzzled face, she leaned forward slightly, stared at Mrs. Chen and said, "But she also admires you deeply, and she is willing to do anything for you." Do."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, her eyes widened, and a trace of grief flashed in her eyes.

Seeing Mrs. Chen's expression, Ji Anjun smiled with satisfaction, turned around, took out a scroll from behind, stretched out his hand and pulled the seal off, and then a scroll of beauties drinking alcohol was displayed in front of Mrs. Chen.

"This painting was drawn by Xiaoxiang. Because Xiaoxiang's handwriting is not good-looking, I asked old man Guo to write it for her. Mrs. Chen, please read carefully. The painting on this scroll is you?" Ji Anjun Holding the picture scroll, thinking about Xiaoxiang's crazy appearance, he softened his tone inexplicably.

Mrs. Chen looked at the painting, her eyes turned red instantly, she stretched out her hands, took the scroll tremblingly, with a tear dripping from the corner of her eye, she reached out to caress the inscription on the scroll.

Yingying Luoqun peach blossom face, jade fingers and silver body fluttering.

The fine wine enters the throat and pinches the halberd, looking at the single flower at home from afar.

"Xiang'er, it's me, I betrayed you."

The Lin family case of Chen Fu was closed, Mrs. Chen was sentenced to Qiu Hou Wen's beheading for intentional homicide, and the rest of the people involved in the case were all sent to the frontier, while Xiao Xiang was sent to the dungeon for ten years because of her insanity.
