old grace

Zhan Qiu dragged the maidservant down, Xie Qinghe was a little uneasy, and motioned Chen Li to listen.

Chen Li couldn't rest assured that Xie Qinghe would be left alone, so he went out and recruited the accompanying guards, and followed Zhan Qiu to another room to monitor and extract confessions, while he himself still guarded the door.

When things got to this point, neither Xie Qinghe nor Fu Chuan could get out immediately.

Zhan Xuanji's energy was low due to his serious injury, and he had to take a nap after drinking hot soup.Mrs. Chen was terrified by the snake shadow in the cup. Everyone looked like a spy. Even if her dowry servant came to deliver the food, she would have to look at it first before handing it to her husband: "Juner, my dear, come here. Take a look. There is no evil or dirty letter here, right?"

Seeing that she was quite frightened, Fu Chuan had no choice but to take a look at her and comforted her: "Auntie, it's clean. Don't worry."

Zhan Xuanji looked at Xie Qinghe helplessly. After all, he was physically and mentally exhausted and couldn't cope. With Xie Qinghe here, he drank the soup and fell asleep.

Mrs. Chen pulled Fu to tell many good things, and begged him: "Please take a look for Auntie, do any of these servants learn witchcraft? Do they have evil intentions? If you can't see clearly, Auntie can't do anything about it." Have a good time."

Mrs. Chen pulled out her confidantes to stand in a row and asked Fu Chuan to inspect them.

This kind of suspicion, regardless of severity, will naturally hurt the heart of a loyal confidant.However, Chen has self-knowledge.Since she couldn't tell who was good and who was bad, she left the matter to her nephew who could see good and bad.If she is a loyal person, she should be sympathetic to her helplessness, and it will be fine to win over her in the future. If she is an unfaithful person, just be sad if she is sad, and it is not uncommon for her to leave her heart.

Fu Chuan is not as careful as Xie Qinghe when things happen, and he is not incompetent if he is really asked to carefully examine the origins of these servants.

Chen is now superstitious about his ability.After all, Xie Qinghe was talking on the sidelines, and Chen felt that the elder nephew was not as powerful as the younger nephew.Fu Chuan checked all the servants brought out by Mrs. Chen. These people were all dowry brought by Mrs. Chen from the Mrs. Chen's family, and they really didn't find any problems.

Chen looked at him with worried and expectant eyes, wishing that he would catch some spies, but also afraid that there would be spies in here.

Fu Chuan turned his head to look at Xie Qinghe, and seeing the elder brother nodding, he was willing to tell Chen Shi: "Auntie, it's all right."

"Okay. Okay." Chen felt relieved, and first ordered these confidant servants to take care of her and Zhan Xuanji's daily necessities, and then ordered the Zhan family's servants to be assigned in batches and sent to the door one after another. hearing.

The servants had to be ordered to do their own thing, while Chen shyly handed over a plate of soufflés and coaxed Fu Chuan: "Jun'er, there are... there are more than a hundred people in the family, so I have to trouble you to take a look. If there is one Half of them are inappropriate, which is the disaster of Jijia. This is the soufflé that my aunt copied from the recipe of Sang's family. It is the softest and most delicious. Would you like to try one?"

Chen's treatment of Fu Chuan can also be said to be coquettish and respectful. Xie Qinghe found it a little funny to be so eager to please.

Fu Chuan didn't hold grudges either, holding the plate of soufflés, he ate two pieces appreciatively, and praised, "It's delicious."

Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and her anxious eyes became very gentle: "Auntie made the cook ready and will send it to you often." Fu Chuan lived in Chen's residence and lived with Xie Qinghe, so it was not easy for Mrs. Chen to give it to you with great fanfare. He sent the cook.In this regard, Mrs. Chen is particularly cautious.

When Zhan Xuanji was resting, Fu Chuan, under Chen's control, scanned all the servants of Zhan's family.

Xie Qinghe was also very cautious about this, Fu Chuan and Mrs. Chen were watching people outside the door, and he sat by the bed to take care of the place.Fu Chuan read it the first time, and he read it the second time. After confirming that there were no omissions, he asked people to retreat.The first ones who came in were the descendants of the Chen family as dowries. After checking that there was no problem, the Chen family arranged for the original servants of the Zhan family to come in one by one.

Sitting beside Fu Chuan, Mrs. Chen hugged him lightly in her arms, and said in a low voice, "My dear, you have to take a good look, don't miss it."

The two beautiful maidservants sent by Princess Wen Yang had problems, and all the servants of Zhan's family became unreliable for a while.

This was a great blow to Zhan Xuanji. How many delicate hearts does he have to understand and understand everyone around him?If you can't see through it, this group of people dare not use it, can't bear to kill it, and it will be a huge disaster if they are left unrestrained in Xiangzhou, and it will be very painful to deal with.

Mrs. Chen knew her husband's embarrassment well, so she asked Fu Chuan to help with the inspection.

Fu Chuan thought for a while and said, "Auntie, I can only make sure whether the person in front of me is possessed of witchcraft."

—It is not necessary to know witchcraft to be a spy.The two beautiful maidservants sent by Princess Wenyang don't know witchcraft.

Mrs. Chen ticked the fingers supporting his frail shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Auntie understands the truth, you just look at witchcraft." A hundred times stronger.The two evils have the right to kill the worst.

The servants of the Zhan family came to be tested in batches from top to bottom, among them many old servants had served Zhan Xuanji on the saddle for decades, and they were very embarrassed in front of Zhan Xuanji. Explaining that none of this group of people was stabbed, and before Chen Shi could speak, they all bowed down to express their understanding. Everything was done with the safety of the mistress and mistress as the most important thing, and Chen Shi was moved and wiped away tears.

Xie Qinghe watched from the side and was deeply moved. This aunt is really good at being a human being, and her tears are all covered with handkerchiefs.

The confidantes of Zhan's family inspected it silently, and the subordinates dared not come forward to complain.The whole thing proceeded quietly, smoothly and quickly. A group of people came in, and a group of people left. Fu Chuan waved his hand to let them go. Xie Qinghe didn't raise any objections, and quickly took a general look.

"Have you finished reading it?" Mrs. Chen didn't know how many servants there were in the family, so she could only ask the butler beside her.

At this time, there were two butlers standing beside her. The male butler was in charge of foreign affairs, and he bowed his hands respectfully, while the female housekeeper was in charge of internal affairs. Hearing this, he hesitated a little, and said softly, "All the maids and women have been here. Madam Li Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang didn't come over."

Li Shi and Xiao Jiang Shi are Zhan Xuanji's two concubines, Chen Shi is old and childless, and Zhan Xuanji took the initiative to accept them.

When Xie Qinghe heard the words Mrs. Jiang, he suddenly remembered the word "mangzi" for no reason.

Mrs. Jiang has a very cautious temper, she laughed at Chen Qi behind his back, and never scolded Chen Qi recklessly in front of Chen Qi's concubine children—only when she was surrounded by her own dowry and absolutely safe.The reason why Xie Qinghe's memory is fuzzy is because Chen Qi would sleep next to Mrs. Jiang when he was a child. Mrs. Jiang mistakenly thought that he was asleep, so she mentioned Mangzi Yunyun.

He had many associations in his mind, and he didn't rush to ask.Wait and see.

Sure enough, after hesitating for a moment, Mrs. Chen ordered: "Let all the servants retreat, what to do. You go and invite A Li and A Jiang personally, and speak politely. The master is seriously injured and is in bed, and asks them to come and visit. "

The housekeeper left sensibly.

Mrs. Chen told Fu Chuan in a soft voice: "Baby, my uncle's two little stars will come over later, you can take a look quietly."

Fu Chuan nodded: "Understood."

Chen couldn't help stroking his head and side face: "What a good boy."

This love rubbing made Fu Chuan a little bit unbearable, he couldn't help but look back at Xie Qinghe: Elder brother, help me.

Xie Qinghe smiled and remained silent.

Fu Chuan had no choice but to save himself: "Auntie, Auntie, sit down for a while and eat some soufflé."

Mrs. Chen took him by the hand, and brought him into the small living room very gently and carefully. After putting him on the couch, the maid brought animal skins and covered his knees and legs to keep warm. There is hot soup, sweet syrup, and a large plate of soufflé to take care of his diet.

"We don't see each other on weekdays." Mrs. Chen looked at Fu Chuan with loving eyes, "In the future, I will come to my aunt's house more often, and my aunt loves you so much, be good."

Fu Chuan could only give a silly smile embarrassingly.

If it weren't for the life-saving grace today, I'm afraid he would be sent away by Chen's bowl of cold water when he came to Zhan's house alone to knock on the door.

However, the gentleness from an adult woman is indeed too comprehensive. Fu Chuanruo is in the soft pillow of animal skin, and there is a beautiful maid beside him who is dedicated to serving him food and water. The knees on the back were warm, and I couldn't help but reach out to touch it, and I found two small charcoal stoves sandwiched in the cotton clothes, and the warm heat came from here.

"Is it cold?" Chen asked with concern.

Fu Chuan shook his head, looking at Xie Qinghe's face: "Is there a small stove there?"

Chen couldn't help pursing her lips and smiling: "Of course there are."

The two of them sat on the same couch, each occupying one side.In front of so many servants, Fu Chuan was too embarrassed to sneak into Xie Qinghe's arms.

While talking, there were scattered footsteps outside, someone knocked on the curtain, someone whispered, after a while, a young and beautiful woman meandered into the door, and the maid helped her take off her thick clothes, revealing her slender and thin body But with a flirtatious figure, she bowed down to Mrs. Chen without squinting: "Sister A She, what happened to the Lord? The servant said that he was assassinated again. I was stuck in the back house and only worried about it."

Chen did not introduce her to the two nephews, but nodded with Xie Qinghe Fuchuan, got up and led her inside: "Master Lang is resting, please speak softly..."

Chen was very worried about Zhan Xuanji's safety, so the door to the inner bedroom and diverticulum was not allowed to be closed, even the curtains were wide open.

After she entered the room with this concubine, the maid serving Fu Chuan's food reminded him to ask Fu Chuan to check in the next room.Earlier when Fu Chuan inspected the house, the servants all looked at it from a distance, and they didn't make any contact, so it didn't matter if they were separated by a door.

Fu Chuan shook his head after looking at it for a while, and said, "It's all right."

Immediately, a maidservant made an excuse to send hot soup in, hinting at the result to Mrs. Chen.Chen immediately sent out the concubine's room without any trace.After the concubine left, Mrs. Chen came back and asked, "Why didn't A-Jiang come?"

The housekeeper replied: "Mrs. Xiao Jiang is suffering from an emergency. She has a fever all over her body and can't get out of bed. I'm also afraid that she will be sick to the Lord and his wife."

Chen said angrily: "Is it true that she was asked to visit the Lord? She couldn't get up, so you asked someone to carry her! Afraid of getting sick, you just asked her to stop at the door for a while! I see You're out of your mind!—go and bring him up!"

The housekeeper was about to go down with a face full of panic, but Chen ordered again: "Wait! Take a team of guards!"

Mrs. Jiang refused to come for the test, so Mrs. Chen suspected that there was something wrong with her. She was afraid that she would be killed if she went to the servants, so she had to bring the guards to be at ease.

Fu Chuan looked back at Xie Qinghe, and after getting permission, he said: "Aunt, let's go with the housekeeper sister."

Mrs. Chen wanted Fu Chuan to go there. Fu Chuan was still young and not yet ready to pay attention to the defense of men and women.However, with the lowly status of the concubine, it is not good for her to ask her nephew to come in person.Now that Fu Chuan took the initiative to ask to see it, Mrs. Chen was overjoyed. She squatted down and straightened Fu Chuan's clothes, put on the coat for him herself, and said, "Please worry about it. It's cold on the ground. Ask my sister to carry you. Don't worry." Got cold."

Fu Chuan promised, but in fact he didn't want to be hugged, so he ran out the door in a flash, and the housekeeper had to chase after him in a hurry.

Mrs. Chen did not neglect Xie Qinghe who stayed in the house, and repeatedly asked the servants to deliver food and stuff, coaxing Xie Qinghe for entertainment: "Your uncle's energy is low, tell him to take a nap. If you are tired, you might as well take a nap."

Xie Qinghe asked: "I heard from my aunt that Mrs. Jiang is from the same family as my mother?"

Chen suddenly realized that this matter was troublesome!If Mrs. Jiang really has a problem, can this matter have nothing to do with Mrs. Jiang? !

She clenched her fists in her sleeves with some anxiety, and explained: "Your uncle and I have had no children for many years, so I made a lot of effort to marry a lady from a good family for him. I got close to your mother Jiang and found out that there was someone in her family. A lady of the right age will ask for a family with a lot of money..."

Little Jiang is really Mrs. Jiang's family.It's just that Mrs. Jiang is the mistress of the Chen family, while Xiao Jiang is a concubine in the Zhan family. The identities of the two daughters of the Jiang family must not be too close.As long as Mrs. Jiang is closer to Xiao Jiang's blood, the Zhan family dare not let her be a concubine.

These are the unspoken rules of the family's marriage engagement, without Chen's going into details, Xie Qinghe also understands the truth.

Xie Qinghe turned his head to ask Chen Li who was standing in front of the door: "Did the witch get the result?"

Chen Li replied: "I haven't reported yet. I'm afraid it won't be so soon."

Tian Wen didn't enjoy staying here very much. Mrs. Chen took over the concubine's house, and he would definitely avoid it. He entered the house for a while, and hid behind the screen for a while. The feeling of being trapped in the conspiracy in the back house made him particularly suffocated.He came out to ask for instructions: "Xiao Langjun, please order me to ask for a confession?"

Xie Qinghe was also very concerned about the witch's confession: "Please trouble Mr. Xu Zhang."

Seeing Xie Qinghe's consent, Mrs. Chen also nodded, and the servants were willing to lead Tian Wen to the other room where the witch was interrogated.

Chen's heart was burning with excitement, and she could still sit steadily, talking with Xie Qinghe one after another.At this time, she looked sober, and she was completely out of her mind when she spoke, but she told Xie Qinghe a lot about the past.

Only then did Xie Qinghe know that Chen Cong originally had four aunts, and the Chen family was not the longest, the oldest aunt died at the age of seven: "There was nothing to do about the military disaster, I was young at that time, my family put me in their arms and took me out easily. Elder sister is getting old, and she escaped with her father on the same horse - it is said that her father loves her the most, unfortunately, she injured her horse's leg and can only walk. Elder sister considers herself a burden, and took advantage of her father's killing the enemy In the chaos, my father could never find her again... When my father died, he wanted to find my sister back. In fact, the old man in the family said that he had seen her body, but he didn't dare to tell her. Father. We all know about this, and your father knows it too, so you just refuse to tell your grandfather..."

Xie Qinghe didn't quite believe that a seven-year-old child could die so calmly in a military disaster, but it really doesn't matter what the truth is.

The eldest aunt who has no sequence of teeth has long been ashes, and the grandfather Chen Fu has been dead for five or six years.

Chen also said how the remaining two younger sisters died.One was raised until the age of 12 and fell ill. He called the doctor and witch to see him. He drank the medicinal soup and the drug given by the witch, but he was not cured after all.The other was raised until she was 14 years old. Chen Fu found her a husband and wanted to marry the Xu family in Jiaozhou. Common people, Chen Fu naturally refused.

"If it wasn't for your father's tight protection, where would there be the famous General Shan? He would have been killed by my father long ago." Chen said with a sigh, "Your little aunt is too stubborn. The murderer stabbed her neck with a pair of scissors that night. When we arrived, half of her neck was full of holes. It was impossible to save her.”

These past events are gradually connected with Chen Cong's later memories.

No wonder Shan Xugang never married and wandered all his life, no wonder Shan Xugang was always loyal to Chen Qi, so there was such a sad past.

Chen's speech was completely out of his head, and he felt a little bit annoyed when he finished speaking.Xie Qinghe listened carefully, changed the subject and told her about Zhan Xuanji's injury and pathology, and the topic turned to voodoo.Chen Shi finally asked the most important thing: "Your uncle still doesn't understand these mystical ghosts and gods, where did you and Jun Lang learn this kind of knowledge?"

In Chen's mind, Zhan Xuanji is the smartest and most knowledgeable man in the world, there is nothing her husband doesn't understand!

Xie Qinghe explained: "There are tens of thousands of books in the library at home, and my son and younger brother Jun have read through a little bit."

Mrs. Chen suddenly realized: "Father used to receive a lot of bamboo slips that I couldn't understand. Those who had read books couldn't understand them, but you two who didn't read could understand. It can be seen that knowing characters is not so important. "

Chen Shi is a typical girl who was blind with her eyes open and didn't study when she was a child. Xie Qinghe couldn't refute her, so she just smiled.

While talking, a maid came in and replied in a low voice: "Ma'am, Mr. Jun Xiaolang and Mrs. Xiao Jiang are here together."

Mrs. Chen knew something was wrong.If Little Jiang is okay, the little nephew must have come back alone.Now that the two of them came together, something must have happened.She didn't want to disturb Zhan Xuanji who was resting by asking questions in the house, so she got up and went out. It was still noon at this time, and the sky was already dark, and snowflakes were falling in small pieces. Mrs. Chen hurriedly went to protect Fu Chuan, using her sleeve to cover him Zhuoxue: "Why don't you ask the girl to hold an umbrella?"

"Auntie, I found a basin of dirty ashes in her house." Fu Chuan turned around and beckoned the servants to bring over the brazier, "Ordinary objects were burned to ashes or turned into black and gray, if lustful stolen goods were burned..."

Chen looked at the colorful and strange ashes in the brazier, and took a step back timidly: "Is this also witchcraft?"

Xiao Jiang came in supported by several servants, wearing a cloak to keep out the cold, and only a light dress inside. At this moment, light snow was flying, and the winter wind was harsh, making her fair and thin face pale and pitiful. She stepped forward and knelt down. Wept bitterly: "Sister Ashe, I don't know. I don't know at all! I got up in the morning and felt hot all over, so I had to stay in bed and sleep with my eyes closed. How can I get up and burn something?"

She cried pear blossoms with rain, tears streaming down her pale cheeks, so pure that there was no trace of color, let alone a trace of embarrassment.

It was so beautiful to cry.

"This brazier is the brazier in my concubine's house. I really don't know what's in the brazier!" Little Jiang bowed down and kowtowed.

The issue of Zhan Xuanji's back house is not easy for others to get involved in, so it can only be decided by the Chen family.Over the years, Chen has at most dealt with the matter of distributing food and clothing to the concubines, but who would have thought that today he would "ask questions"?She managed to calm down, not looking at Mrs. Jiang's pitiful appearance, and asked, "Who are the servant girls who serve Mrs. Jiang?"

All the servants in Xiao Jiang's house were escorted over, and the two servants on duty stepped forward and replied, "Mrs. Side got up in the morning and ate a bowl of bean porridge, and fell asleep after a while. I asked her to rinse her mouth and go back to sleep." Sleep, she didn't answer, just fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up."

The other testified for her: "I saw it."

"She was asleep and didn't wake up, who threw the things in the brazier?" Chen asked.

The maid was also very confused: "This... the brazier was lit early in the morning. The wife was sick and was afraid of the cold, so I added an extra basin and put it in the house. Yes, that's right! Not long ago, the madam ordered the slaves and maids to go to the house. Waiting for orders before coming to the hall, at that time the servants and maidservants have left the yard, and there is no one in front of the wife."

Little Jiang raised her head in disbelief, and cried, "Huangu, I have treated you well, why did you hurt me so much?!"

Huangu obviously had no intention of framing her master, she was flustered, and said stammeringly: "No, no, what I mean is that at that time...the side wife was still asleep, and the servants were not around, maybe there was something wrong. Someone deliberately threw this dirty thing into the brazier to frame Mrs. Side!"

This flustered speech reminded Mrs. Jiang, she cried to Mrs. Chen: "Yes, sister Ashe. If I want to throw something away, I can dig a hole and bury it deep when there is no one in the courtyard, or I can throw it away. In other people's houses, at least I threw it out of the wall...Why did I burn it in the brazier in my own house? The ashes are so colorful and unique, and I can tell there is something wrong with it at a glance, so I keep it in my own In front of the bed, aren’t you making trouble for yourself? — Sister Asher, someone is trying to harm me!”

Fu Chuan had already sneaked into the house to find Xie Qinghe, Xie Qinghe lifted the quilt to let him sleep on the bed, and asked concerned: "Is it cold?"

"The soles of the shoes are a bit thin. But I'm not afraid of the cold." Fu Chuan sat in his arms to hug the heater, "Auntie really enjoys it here."

"There is no wind in the quilt, and the charcoal will burn out after a short time. You have to prepare a personal charcoal stove, and change it when it feels cold. It's better to fill a thermos with boiling water and stuff it in the bed to save money." Xie Qinghe is also very frugal Knowing how to enjoy life, I can't understand Chen's waste of manpower.

Seeing that there was no one around, Fu Chuan whispered, "She has raised so many people, so she is doing her job well."

Xie Qinghe understood his small thoughts, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll cover the stove for you when I get home."

Fu Chuan said embarrassedly: "That's not necessary. Let's just fill a hot water bottle. In fact, I'm not cold, but it's so comfortable to lie crookedly under the blanket..."

Xie Qinghe understood his feelings very well.

It's like he doesn't suffer from cold and heat in this world, and he still likes to warm up in winter.No matter how much a practitioner goes against the sky, his skin and spirit will still enjoy the enjoyment of the four seasons. He can't live without the fake skin for about a day, and he can't get rid of the heart addiction brought from the depths of the bone marrow for a day.

"I think this little Mrs. Jiang is a bit strange." Fu Chuan discussed with Xie Qinghe softly.

"What's strange?" Xie Qinghe asked.

"She looks framed, and there is no sign of witchcraft from head to toe. I think what happened to her today is a bit too strange... If I were a spy, would I be able to frame her? Is it too rough and child's play?" Fu said.

"But I thought about it again, the way those two maids poisoned my uncle, was it rough? Is it child's play? Later, the maid who tried to poison you, uncle and me with ghost wine was also reckless... This matter started from the beginning. In the end it was very…”

Fu Chuan thought for a moment, and expressed his feelings with an adjective: "Wild and unruly?"

"It's as if everyone didn't take the assassination and conspiracy seriously, and they did everything they wanted. Thinking about it this way, I think Mrs. Xiao Jiang may be really innocent and framed..." Fu Chuan was also very happy. Difficult.

"Don't take it for granted. Look at the evidence. You only found this brazier?" Xie Qinghe asked.

Fu Chuan nodded.

Xie Qinghe glanced out, the brazier was too far away, and he couldn't see it clearly, so he thought about it and said, ""Tracing the Soul"?"

"I will." Fu Chuan was very proud.Ever since he knew that the big brother practiced hard, he didn't dare to neglect. Whenever he had time, he would honestly go to the treasure cave to read books and practice. Mind, being asked by the senior brother about his pride, he inevitably wanted to show off, "But the true art of tracing the spirit uses the wind orifice as the acupuncture point, and that thing has been burned to ashes. How can we trace back without the spirit?"

"Teach you a little trick." Xie Qinghe lightly drew a few lines on Fu Chuan's vest with his fingertips, "Father Heaven and Mother Earth nourish all things, this trick worships the sky, this trick worships the earth, and after receiving it, there will be a momentary rejuvenation The state... Grasp it, and immediately tap into the wind aperture to go back. Do you understand?"

Fu Chuan had a tacit understanding with him, and immediately understood what he meant, and was eager to fight: "Understood! I'll try it!"

Seeing Fu Chuan go out to practice, Xie Qinghe's eyes were filled with relief.

When I taught Li Nanfeng this little trick, Li Nanfeng learned it for three months and couldn't figure out what was going on, so he gave up in the end.

Xie Qinghe understands Master every time he discusses cultivation with his younger brother.After finally finding an apprentice who can understand a little bit, that is really eager to confess!A wise teacher is hard to find, and a good disciple is even harder to find.

Fu Chuan practiced around the brazier, and Mrs. Chen had been thinking for a long time, and believed that Mrs. Jiang was indeed innocent.

At this time, no one dared to speak, but everyone felt that the matter was obvious.At that time, all servants and maids were brought here for testing, the only exception was the two side wives.If Mrs. Xiao Jiang didn't get up and burn things, then... Mrs. Li framed her?

At this time, both Zhan Qiu and Tian Wen came back in a hurry.Zhan Qiu reported: "Madam, the spies have been recruited."

Chen quickly asked: "Who did she say her master is?!"

"She claims to be from the royal capital, and she joined Mrs. Shan's sect at the age of six. She learned the art of subjugation and does not know voodoo. This operation was a temporary idea, and she was only responsible for taking care of Nuvine and Nuluo—Nvvine, Nuluo Luo is Caiyun and Liuli—after the two daughters of Tengluo lost their wind and died, she insisted on finishing it, so she brazenly poisoned her and tried to assassinate her, but she didn't expect to meet the descendants of Sangshan..." Zhan Qiu looked at Fu Chuan.

Xie Qinghe had already pushed the strangeness between him and Fu Chuan to the book collection at home, and Chen also knew that Chen Fu confiscated a batch of strange books when he attacked Sangshan, and the two sides' statements were right, and she couldn't think of anything wrong.

"Does she have any accomplices in Xiangzhou?" Chen was most concerned about this question.

Zhan Qiu hesitated for a moment, and saw Little Jiang who was kneeling and trembling, and said, "According to what she said, if you go to the hay shop on North Street for help, there is a way out. The servant has sent someone to the hay shop to inquire. .”

Chen frowned and said: "What do you think she is doing? This has nothing to do with her?"

Tian Wen slipped into the house, leaned close to Xie Qinghe's ear, and said softly: "The shop is under the care of Mrs. Jiang's servants."

Xie Qinghe is not surprised to hear Mrs. Jiang appear here, but he is more surprised: "Why does my mother run a hay shop?"

Tian Wen thought for a while and said, "I think it doesn't cost much money to do the hay business."

Xie Qinghe shook his head and said, "Amum is short-handed?"

Mrs. Jiang didn't care about money at all. Xie Qinghe said that she wanted capital to do business, and she asked her servants to bring a few cars of money. Xie Qinghe was going to the east building to find a relationship, so she offered a pearl... If this shop is really opened by Mrs. Jiang, how can it be Maybe doing it so embarrassingly for the sake of capital?

Tian Wen also vaguely knew that Mrs. Jiang was generous, so he guessed again: "Maybe it's because I don't want to attract attention."

Xie Qinghe didn't accept this reason even more: "She even sent people out to buy a bowl of water and made a scene of trouble. What's the difference between opening a hay shop and opening a gold shop? This is very strange. Mr. Xu Zhang, please follow me." Have a look."

Tian Wen understood what Xie Qinghe meant.Mr. Xiao Lang and Mrs. Jiang have a deep relationship, and Mr. Xiao Lang wants to protect her.

Regardless of whether the shop is under the care of Mrs. Jiang's servants, as long as this matter burns to Mrs. Jiang, Mr. Xiao Lang will take care of it.

Tian Wendeling left in a hurry.

There was a lot of noise in the house, as water and medicine were being served, the servant woman hurried out to inform Mrs. Chen: "Master, wake up."

Mrs. Chen was having a terrible headache and couldn't make up her mind. She heard that her husband seemed to have found the backbone when he woke up, so he hurried back to serve the soup. tell him.

Zhan Xuanji was silent for a moment, and said, "There is no need to investigate any more. Call Zhan Qiulai."

Zhan Qiu quickly entered the door and knelt in front of Zhan Xuanji, raising his head to listen to his orders.

"You take someone to Ali's courtyard yourself, and leave her whole body." When Zhan Xuanji said this, his expression was not good.

Chen's face turned miserable, and she whispered: "Is it true that she framed A-Jiang? Such a vicious heart! If A-Jiang was harmed, how could Madam Jiang not be involved in this matter? This bitch and traitor, just try to drive a wedge between our two families, Mrs. Too venomous!"

Xie Qinghe stopped Zhan Qiu's way and said, "Wait."

"Uncle didn't wait for the servant who inquired about the shop to come back, and didn't ask Mrs. Li any more, so he closed the case in such a hurry?" Xie Qinghe asked.

Zhan Xuanji remained silent.

"My uncle has been an upright and upright person since he joined the military administration in the East Tower of the Mukden. He is the most honorable person. Why is he unreasonable today and doesn't ask why? He knows that Mrs. Li is wronged, and Mrs. Xiao Jiang has a ghost, but he prefers to kill himself. , Corrupting one's lifelong virtue?" Xie Qinghe questioned.

Zhan Qiu heard him scolding so badly, and already wanted to turn around and hide.

Chen's face was also full of astonishment, and she said unhappily: "Cong'er, you must have made a mistake. How could your uncle wrong someone?!"

Zhan Xuanji looked into Xie Qinghe's eyes and said: "That day, I stood under the city of Shuzhou and watched the fire burn on the top of the city in the middle of the night. Yes, the battle was extremely tragic and many people died. Shuzhou has already been occupied. I advise Lord Lang, since you have the heart to watch over the world, you should regard yourself as the father of the world. He didn't say yes or no, he just told me to go back to the camp and rest."

"Xiao Langjun, Cong'er, do you know what this means?" Zhan Xuanji asked.

Xie Qinghe knew what Zhan Xuanji wanted to say, but he couldn't answer so cunningly, so he could only remain silent at this moment.

"The Lord Lang already has the power of an emperor." Zhan Xuanji said softly, "I can't persuade him anymore."

The world's top counselors like Zhan Xuanji don't have to wait for any concrete evidence. He only needs to judge the cause and effect from the cause, source, who benefits, and the ultimate goal of the matter.The back house's insidious means are too child's play to be seen through at a glance.

"If I don't give up my concubine, you will lose your mother. Does Xiao Lang know what is more important?" Zhan Xuanji asked.

I dare not investigate this matter any further.

Once the investigation is clear, Mrs. Jiang will definitely be involved.

At this time, Zhan Xuanji had lost his influence over Chen Qi, and his advice was no longer valued by Chen Qi.

Several big victories made Chen Qi forget about it. Chen Qi began to gain the power of Gan Gang's arbitrariness, and he no longer needed Jiang, a daughter of a long-lost family, to add to his icing on the cake—Ms. Jiang had no children, and the family had no influence. It is absolutely possible to marry a more noble woman as his wife, for example, the princess of Qin Ting.

There are many things that don't matter right or wrong.It is not that if you are cautious in your words and deeds for a lifetime, you will be able to live in peace and stability to the end.

Xie Qinghe suddenly remembered that in Chen Cong's memory, Mrs. Jiang would die of illness in two years.

How could that woman who could ride a horse, draw a bow and laugh heartily, suddenly contracted a cold and died of illness in two months?Could it be that the spies buried in Xiangzhou finally had an accident involving Mrs. Jiang, and Chen Qi ordered to kill her in a fit of rage?

Zhan Xuanji was obviously thinking about the stability of Xiangzhou and the stability of the rear.

It's impossible not to investigate this matter, but we can't investigate it in the direction of Mrs. Jiang. If there is a farce at this juncture that Chen Qiming's wife is the biggest spy, is there any way to fight this battle?This is definitely a painful thing to knock out teeth and swallow blood.

Xie Qinghe also looked into his eyes, and said with certainty: "I am a reasonable person, and my uncle used to be a reasonable person. The biggest truth in the world is nothing more than four words, good and evil are rewarded. Madam Li is innocent , she should not be executed. Uncle, she is your concubine and a living person, not a 'thing' for you to sacrifice, you really don't have to feel that you have paid a huge price to preserve Xiangzhou."

This slap was so hard that Chen was a little panicked, he wanted to blame Xie Qinghe for speaking too much, but also was afraid that Zhan Xuanji would be sad.

On the contrary, Zhan Xuanji was shocked by what he said, and said after a long while: "You are right."

If Madam Li who was involved in this matter today was not Zhan Xuanji's concubine, he would not have chosen to kill Madam Li so simply to close the case.It's just that his cognition told him since he was a child that the concubine's room is his "wife's wealth" and his interests. When he sacrificed Mrs. Li, he only thought that he was sacrificing himself. Thoughts of Mrs.

Xie Qinghe's idea was too epoch-making, he was actually persuaded, and his whole body was greatly shaken: "You...you are right."

He repeated "you are right" several times, which shows that the three views are greatly shaken.

At this time, Fu Chuan came running in, "Brother, I caught it! That thing belongs to Mrs. Jiang's maid, Liang Gu!"

Both Zhan Xuanji and Chen Shi were quite confused, obviously they didn't know who Liang Gu was.

Mrs. Jiang was passed into the room to speak, she knelt on the ground covered with some snowflakes, all melted when she entered the door, her hair was wet, and she looked more and more pitiful: "I... don't know where she went. I wake up in the morning I fell asleep for a while, and fell asleep all the time... I really don't know what happened... woo woo."

Xie Qinghe put a cloak on Fu Chuan and said, "Let's go find it."

Chen quickly asked, "Can you find it?"

Fu Chuan nodded: "Yes. Everything in the world has its origin, how can there be a case that cannot be investigated?"

Zhan Xuanji, who had just planned to have sex with him, felt a little embarrassed, stood up with force, and said, "I'll go with you."

Fu Chuan had already taken Xie Qinghe's hand and walked two steps away. Hearing this, he turned his head and said, "Uncle, you look so sick, just take care of it and don't make trouble. If something happens to you, how can we explain it to Father?" ah?"

Xie Qinghe gently grabbed his ear: "Go quickly."

Fu Chuan obediently shut up and went out.

Both of them were wrapped in cloaks and hoods, and Chen Li stepped forward to hold an umbrella to slightly block the wind and snow.

"I thought my uncle was a good man." Fu Chuan murmured to Xie Qinghe in a low voice, "He's also a bastard who loves to kill little wives."

Xie Qinghe declined to comment.

Fu Chuan dragged him to Zhan's house and guessed, "I think this person is probably dead. He was nailed to the spot for such a long time.
