lord and beauty

Mrs. Shi's angry shout was cut off, and the remaining words were drowned in her throat, and her wide eyes were full of disbelief.

"The people from the government will be here soon, and they haven't reached the point of death. Why should Madam be like this?" Jiang Beimu slowly let go of the hand that was holding Madam Shi's right wrist, and with a light finger, Madam Shi felt her entire arm go numb. Standing up, the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Tan Qiu secretly thought that it was very dangerous, and he didn't know where Madam Shi took out the dagger, and stabbed at him violently. If Jiang Beimu was not by his side, even if he could dodge, he would inevitably be cut a few times son.

"Qiu'er, come here." Jiang Bei murmured.

Tan Qiuyuan wanted to say something to Mrs. Shi, but in the end she swallowed it. Although the crime of colluding with bandits is serious, it will not cause her to lose her life. At most, her family property will be confiscated and demoted to slavery.Although the Shi family is not big, it has been in Sifang City for many years, and its forces are intricate. Before the matter is settled, Tan Qiu still wants to save face. After all, his shop has just opened, so he just snorted at Mrs. Shi road:

"Instead of thinking about those insidious schemes, it's better to think about how to do business."

After saying that, Tan Qiu helped Tan Yan up, walked to Jiang Beimu's side, and told Xiao Ye who had come, to send Tan Yan back first.

Mrs. Shi's expression was terrified, she gritted her teeth and said: "I will never let you go even if I die, if it wasn't for you, how could I have fallen to this point!"

This time, Tan Qiu couldn't stand up any longer. He became angry and shouted: "Are you being unreasonable? It's you who tried to harm us again and again. I didn't beat you because you are a woman. Do you think that everyone is the same as you, shouting and killing at every turn. You are at most a crime of gangster, although I want to punish you more severely."

Mrs. Shi's face turned pale when she heard this, her lips trembled and she murmured, but she didn't speak after all.

Jiang Beimu noticed something, turned sideways and whispered to Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye nodded, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Divide into two teams, go to the left and right teams, and search the Shifu for any crimes of trespassing. Hand it over to me, as for you..."

Xiao Ye glanced at Xu Cong, who was firmly tied up by Zhou Zhang, and casually said to Zhou Zhang: "I will trouble you to send the people to the government first, and let them ask them carefully, and find out the whereabouts of those remnants."

Zhou Zhang had nothing to do, nodded and escorted Xu Cong away.

As for Mrs. Shi, after Xiao Ye said those words, her whole body seemed to lose her strength, and she had no intention of struggling, and only looked at the soldiers passing outside the door dejectedly.

No matter how slow Tan Qiu's reaction was, she would understand. Mrs. Shi was very sure that she would die just now, maybe she had done some other shameful things. Now Xiao Ye went to lead the army to search, maybe she could be sentenced A combined punishment.

But Mrs. Shi is a woman, what can she do that needs to lose her head?

Tan Qiu couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to think about it. In short, Mrs. Shi's life or death had nothing to do with him. If Mrs. Shi's malicious intentions had not hit Tan Yan and Jiang Beimu's tricks, Tan Qiu really wanted to I will never step into Shifu again in my life.

But Tan Yan's relationship with Xu Cong ended by accident.

At this moment, soldiers from the government also filed in from outside the door. Tan Qiu knew that he had nothing to do here, so he and Jiang Beimu briefly explained to the leading yamen servant what they had seen and heard when they came here. After getting approval, he left.

As soon as he got out of the Shifu, Tan Qiu relaxed. He stood at the door and looked at the clear, cloudless sky. up.

"Happy?" Jiang Beimu couldn't help laughing as he looked at Tan Qiu who was stretching happily beside him.

Tan Qiu was about to reply, but suddenly thought of Jiang Beimu's prepared expression before going out, and immediately got angry, suppressed his smile and deliberately put on a bad face, humming: "You I haven't explained yet, when did I find something was wrong, why didn't I come to tell me, so I was kept in the dark."

"What they did was too obvious. They didn't move at first because they couldn't figure out what they were going to do, so they didn't tell you, for fear that you would worry." Jiang Beimu leaned forward, stretched his arms and gently wrapped Tan Qiu's waist Limbs, big palms penetrated into the fur cloak and gently squeezed the soft flesh around the waist, spraying hot breath on Tan Qiu's ears and temples.

Tan Qiu hurriedly pushed Jiang Beimu away a little bit, his cheeks were blushing, and he hummed distractedly, "Then go back quickly, anyway, the government and the city lord's mansion will take over."

Jiang Beimu didn't care about Tanqiu's refusal, on the contrary, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth all the time, and he repeatedly recalled in his mind just now when he overheard Mrs. Shi's plan in the dark, Tanqiu's panicked look, his teeth and claws It looks like a little beast that wants to take an oath of sovereignty.

Jiang Beimu rubbed his fingertips under his sleeves lightly, and slowly followed Tanqiu's pace.

When Tan Qiu and the two returned to Jiang's Mansion, they happened to meet Tan's mother who was pacing anxiously in the front hall. As soon as Tan's mother saw the two of them, her eyes lit up slightly, and she couldn't help but quickly stepped forward and told Tan's mother Qiu looked up and down, until he was sure that Tan Qiu was fine, he was slightly relieved, and then looked at Jiang Beimu who was aside.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back..."

Jiang Beimu nodded slightly, and didn't say much. Tan's mother hesitated for a moment, and said to Tan Qiu: "Qiu'er, go and see your sister, I have something to say..."

Tan Qiu's heart was full of alarm bells, and his whole body tensed up immediately, his eyes kept going back and forth between his mother and Jiang Beimu, and his thin lips were slightly pursed.

"It's okay, you go first." Seeing Tan Qiu's flustered appearance, Jiang Beimu seemed as sweet as eating honey, and his expression relaxed a lot, so he comforted Tan Qiu with a few words.

"Then... alright." Tan Qiu sighed, reluctantly turned around every step of the way, for fear that he would face a dilemma when he came back later.

It wasn't until he turned the corner and eavesdropped on the bottom of the wall for a while, but didn't hear any big movement inside, that he left with a feeling of anxiety.

In the front hall, Tan Qiu had left for a long time, but Tan's mother didn't speak for a long time, she just stood there, frowning and meditating. Jiang Beimu didn't urge her, but also stood there, waiting quietly.

"Where is your mother's spirit seat? I haven't officially met her yet."

After a long time, Tan Mu said lightly.

"Behind the Wanqiu Pavilion, walk this way." Jiang Beimu didn't hesitate, and walked ahead to lead the way for Tanmu. Concerned about Tanmu's age, Jiang Beimu didn't take the small path, but deliberately slowed down and detoured from the main road go.

The hut was as quiet and tidy as ever. Tan's mother stood in front of the door and tidied up her clothes before following Jiang Beimu in.

Pushing open the door and entering, a coffin was quietly placed in the middle of the room, thick incense ash had already accumulated in the censer, Tanmu stepped forward a few steps, staring at the portrait in front of her, she couldn't help being stunned.

In the portrait, the woman is gentle and quiet, her eyes are like spring water, and she looks at the painter with a smile.

"My father asked someone to paint her. When I grew up and could remember, she was no longer like this. She was even more haggard, and her skin was not as delicate as before. It was eroded by the wind and sand in the frontier fortress, and she became They are rough, but every time they touch me, those rough hands have the warmest temperature in the world."

Jiang Beimu lit two sticks of incense while talking, and when Tan's mother took one of them, Jiang Beimu had already retracted his hands and knelt down, his movements were familiar, as if he had done it hundreds of times.

Tan Mu let out a long and leisurely sigh, followed by a stick of incense, and the gray smoke curled up, making the appearance of the gentle woman in the portrait unclear.

"A mother's only wish is that her child can live a good life with someone to accompany her and have enough food and clothing." Tan Mu looked far away and said softly, "I can tell that Qiu'er really likes you."

"After he is with you, he will not have any more children, but you are different, you already have children." Tan Mu looked away and looked at Jiang Beimu quietly, without reprimand or anger, just calm say one thing.

Jiang Beimu understood that Tan's mother had deliberately called him to the coffin in order for him to swear an oath in front of her mother's coffin.

"I have already brought him to meet his mother." Jiang Beimu said softly, "My child is Qiu'er's child. If he wants a child in the future, I will not stop him."

Tan Mu gave a wry smile, "Qiu'er is not that kind of person. Since he wants to be with you, he must be prepared. I'm not the kind of unreasonable mother. I've been hesitant before, but I just couldn't let go of your feelings for Qiu'er. How true is it?"

Jiang Beimu's expression froze, as if the general before the expedition was waiting for the last order.

"I want you to swear in front of your mother that you will never disappoint my Qiu'er in this life." Tan Mu's words clanged, and her eyes suddenly sharpened, like a sharp sword that could pierce Jiang Beimu's soul straight.
