lord and beauty

Fortunately, Jiang Beimu didn't embarrass him too much, he only nodded slightly when he heard the words, and looked away when he knew it.

Tan Qiu felt itchy for a moment, and from the corner of his eye, he secretly glanced at Jiang Beimu, only to see him bowing his head in deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking, while the Zhang family and his wife opposite them were crying and laughing, looking like they were happy after a catastrophe.

Tan Qiu sighed lightly, resting his chin on the table with one hand, thinking of the jade pendant that he had broken in Jiang Beimu's study, his expression tightened, and he boldly glanced at Jiang Beimu secretly, and yelled Haha said: "That...Master."

"Huh?" Jiang Beimu replied without raising his head.

"The weather is fine today, Mei Xiang and the others are going to clean your yard." Tan Qiu pulled herself out very cowardly, and said tentatively.

Jiang Beimu nodded and didn't say much.

Tan Qiu opened his mouth to ask a few times, but stopped when he was approaching the door. He just asked, would Jiang Beimu doubt... If this jade pendant is really something important to Jiang Beimu, The consequences were unimaginable.

Jiang Beimu saw that Tan Qiu had mentioned such a sentence without beginning and end, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see him continuing to speak, so he asked back, "What's the matter?"

Tan Qiu was agitated, and subconsciously covered up shaking his head, "No, no, it's okay, I just asked..."

Jiang Beimu didn't reply when he heard the words, instead he cast his eyes on Tan Qiu and walked back and forth.Tan Qiudeng's scalp was numb, afraid that Jiang Beimu would notice something, so he forced himself to look outside the government office, "I don't know when Xiao Ye and the others will come back?"

Jiang Beimu waited for a while, then said softly, "Here we are."

"Huh?" Tan Qiu turned his head to look, Jiang Beimu raised his eyebrows slightly, and nodded slightly. Before Tan Qiu could speak, a human voice came from outside the government office.

Holding a cleanly cut tree trunk in his right hand, Xiao Ye strode towards the government office. Tan Qiu and Jiang Beimu stood up to meet him. Xiao Ye threw the tree trunk to the ground with a bang.

Fu He followed behind with a medical kit in his hand. After Xiao Ye dropped the tree trunk, he raised his left hand and rubbed it lightly on his right wrist for a while, and then pulled something like a thin layer of skin on his fingertips, The glove as thin as a cicada's wing was torn off from his right hand and thrown aside casually.

"What about them?" Jiang Beimu asked.

"It's all in the back." Xiao Ye raised his thumb and pointed behind him, and everyone waited for a while before the members of the Zhang family and the yamen servant came late.

Tan Qiu knew the answer just by looking at the face of the woman from Zhang's family, and things were as he expected.

The lady of the Zhang family looked embarrassed, she walked into the hall with her head down without saying a word, and when everyone was present, Jiang Beimu calmly said, "You can continue, my lord."

The prefect can get a rough idea of ​​the overall situation, but according to the rules, he still needs to ask a few questions.

"How is this thing?"

Xiao Ye replied: "Fu He has already tested it, and there is indeed poison in its trunk, and I have already shoveled it with something. Come and see, you cut it down that day, but this tree." Xiao Ye spoke He looked sideways at the man.

The man patted the woman's hand reassuringly, and reluctantly got up to look at it a few times before replying, "My lord, it's this tree."

"Then you saved your life." Xiao Ye crossed his arms and said calmly, "Fortunately, I only licked a few mouthfuls, and the tree doesn't grow very well, and the poison is relatively light, otherwise it would be a poison that seals the throat with blood. .”

Jiang Beimu and Tan Qiu didn't say a word, and there was no need to say more at this moment.

The magistrate asked the woman, "Do you have anything else to say?"

The woman lowered her head and said in a low voice: "The women of the people let the adults make their own decisions."

Tan Qiu looked sideways to the outside of the government yamen, compared to the crowds at the beginning, now there is no one waiting outside.Most of them just watched the excitement and then left.

"Don't worry about others." Jiang Beimu sensed Tan Qiu's intentions and said softly.

Tan Qiu nodded, and heard the magistrate saying: "Since that's the case, the government believes that the poisoning of Zhang Jiasanlang has nothing to do with the cakes sold in Xianshuilou, if you have no objection, then let's put a mark on this confession. "

The magistrate waved his hand, and the civil servants beside him brought a few sheets of paper full of words. Jiang Beimu, Zhang Jiasanlang and the Zhang family's wife pressed their fingerprints on the confession one after another.

The members of the Zhang family lost their previous arrogance and aggression, they only hugged San Lang to help him up, and walked towards the government office without saying a word.

Tan Qiu took a deep look at the backs of the members of the Zhang family, snorted softly, and muttered: "Just slandering people with such empty words, and they haven't made them pay. How much rumors will our shop suffer from such a disturbance?" .”

Jiang Beimu laughed and shook his head. Tan Qiu still felt a little regretful. Jiang Beimu saw that he looked like a small money fan, and joked: "This is just a small loss. I will have a banquet in the mansion next month, and I can get it back."

Tan Qiu knew that Jiang Beimu was teasing him, so with a puffy face, he stretched out his hand and poked Jiang Beimu's waist, and was immediately pulled into his palm.

"Since everything is over, why don't you go to my place to have a meal? I didn't prepare well for Jiang Ge and your sister-in-law's visits a few times ago, this time we have to invite you to whatever you want!" Xiao Ye hugged Fu He Taking a few steps forward, he smiled at Jiang Beimu.

Jiang Beimu held Tan Qiu's hand loosely, "No need, what does it sound like to keep running towards you?"

Xiao Ye knew Jiang Beimu's temperament, so he didn't insist on it, but said to Tan Qiu: "Sister-in-law, you should help persuade Brother Jiang, if you don't go now, you must go in the next year, you know."

Tan Qiu responded immediately, patted his chest and said, "Of course." Jiang Beimu glanced at Tan Qiu with a smile, and shook his head slightly.

"Then let's go back first, why don't you use that horse outside the door?" Xiao Ye said.

"No need, the government office is far away from your home, you should ride back with Fu He on horseback, and Tan Qiu and I can walk back by ourselves." Jiang Beimu declined Xiao Ye's kindness, and said.

"Brother Jiang is always so polite." Xiao Ye shook his head, but he cupped his fists at Jiang Beimu helplessly, and then walked out the door with Fu He in his arms.

"Then let's take a step forward."

"Go slowly." Jiang Beimu nodded slightly, and together with Tan Qiu watched Xiao Ye take Fu He away.

Tan Qiu felt uneasy all the way. When he thought of the broken jade in the study, his heart tightened. He wanted to confess to Jiang Beimu but was afraid that he would not be able to bear the consequences...

When the two of them reached the gate of Jiang's residence, Tan Qiu's heart almost rose into his throat, knowing that if he planned to confess, it would be within this time.

"Are you hungry? I was absent-minded along the way." Jiang Beimu walked into the main entrance, seeing that Tan Qiu was still in a state of wandering, and asked patiently.

Tan Qiu blinked, took a deep breath, stared at Jiang Beimu's eyes, and silently said in his heart that he would die if he died...

"What's wrong?" Jiang Beimu couldn't help laughing when he saw that Tan Qiu seemed to have made up his mind.

Tan Qiu: "I'm not hungry."

"That's it?" Jiang Beimu asked with a smile.

"That's it." Tan Qiu replied firmly.

Jiang Beimu smiled, "That's good. If you're hungry, you can order the kitchen to prepare some pastries." After saying that, Jiang Beimu turned sideways and started to walk.

"Master!!" Tan Qiu shouted suddenly, his voice was almost broken, Jiang Beimu was startled, and his steps were abruptly stopped.

The two looked at each other, and the court was silent for a while.

Tan Qiu said awkwardly, "Where is the master going?"

"I'm going to get the account book, and I have to go to the shop to prepare some things later." Jiang Bei murmured.

"Where is the account book...?" Tan Qiu was cautious.

"Study." Jiang Beimu was a little strange, "What happened to you today, do you have something to tell me? Just speak up."

study!Tan Qiu was terrified when he heard that, the broken jade in the study was still pressed on the desk by him, Jiang Beimu would definitely find it if he went back now, at least he had to wait for him to deal with it!

"I suddenly remembered!" Tan Qiu stumbled to Jiang Beimu, blocking his way, "The baby said he missed you and wanted to play with you, why don't the master go to the baby first he?"

"He should be sleeping at this point, it's better not to bother him, I'll go find him when I come back." Jiang Beimu nodded, turning sideways to avoid Tan Qiu and continue walking.

Tan Qiu almost jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He quickly grabbed Jiang Beimu's arm and said with a dry smile, "Then shall I go get the account book for the master? The master is waiting here?"

"You don't know the account books, I'll just go there." Jiang Beimu said patiently.

"Ruan Yue said she was looking for you for something! It's very urgent, master go and have a look first?" Tan Qiu was almost at a loss for words, and made up a nonsense reason.

Jiang Beimu looked at the extremely guilty person in front of him, knowing in his heart that Tan Qiu must have caused trouble, but for some reason he wanted to tease him, deliberately refrained from speaking, and couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

"It seems to be about the family banquet next month. I heard from Ruan Yue that there seems to be a bit of a fox's tail in the mansion." Tan Qiu had an expression of "Master, you understand", and betrayed Ruan Yue very odiously, and almost gave Jiang Beimu to him. Push it to the side room so that I have time to deal with the mess.

Jiang Beimu folded his arms and raised his eyebrows, looking at Tan Qiu with a guilty conscience, he cooperated and said, "Okay, then I'll go and see, where is she?"

Tan Qiuru was pardoned, "It's in my courtyard! Master, go quickly."

Jiang Beimu didn't procrastinate, he responded and walked towards Tan Qiu's Luoxia Xiaozhu.

Tan Qiu watched Jiang Beimu's back disappear, then turned around and ran, heading straight for the study, almost bumping into several maids along the way.

Panting heavily, Tan Qiu ran into the Wanqiu Pavilion, but luckily there was no one inside, Tan Qiu was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the study, and saw that the book on the desk was exactly the same as when he left , Only then did the heart fall back into the stomach, stepped forward to put aside the book, held the two halves of the jade pendant in his palm, and let out a light breath.

The moment Tan Qiu turned around, a black shadow flashed past. Before Tan Qiu could see what the black shadow was, his neck tightened suddenly, as if something was entangled, and then a He strangled his neck with brute force, but the man's hand was not strong, but he immediately strangled Tan Qiu with stares in his eyes, his throat constricted and it was difficult to breathe, his hands fluttered backwards, overturned the books on the desk, and fell to the ground. There was a dull sound on the ground.

This person's goal is Jiang Beimu.

Tan Qiu's eyes turned dark, the buzzing in his ears became louder and louder, his face flushed red, he was exhaling more air than inhaling, and at the critical moment, a gust of wind blew past.

Tan Qiu's neck suddenly loosened, and he fell to the ground in an instant, breathing the air almost greedily, coughing to the point of bleeding, his eyes were blurred, and he could vaguely see two figures fighting together.

One was about to strangle him to death just now, so who is the other...
