Traitor, he is bent on death

Jiang Jintang naturally also heard about this ridiculous rumor, but he laughed it off and continued to practice calligraphy in the study.

His handwriting is the same as others, delicate and elegant, yet has its own style, smooth and flowing, writing like clouds and smoke, before finishing the sentence "the liver and lungs are ice and snow", Shanyue came in again to tell Xuanlan's decree to Ningyuanhou's mansion.

Jiang Jintang paused, the nib of the pen was smeared, and the good calligraphy on the paper was severely damaged.

He uncovered the rice paper, threw it on the ground casually, and said, "Young mind."

Shanyue smiled and said: "In my opinion, Young Master Yin won't be able to go out very much this month, not to mention being hit by a board and making it difficult for him to move, as long as this lost person has no face to go out and wander around again."

Jiang Jintang looked down at the tip of the pen and said, "What's going on with Xuan Ke?"

Speaking of this person, Shanyue frowned, and said: "Early in the morning, King An ordered someone to hand over the greeting card, and wanted to come to the door to make amends, but didn't you tell me to disappear, the concierge refused, and the person who sent the card He didn't leave either, he just said he wanted to see you with his own eyes."

"Then tie him up and send him back to Prince An's Mansion," Jiang Jintang said.

"Yes." Shanyue replied, and said: "Master Jian sent a message this morning, saying that someone seems to be investigating Xingdeng Village."

Jian Yuanjia is the "Liao Ying" under Nine Thousand Years, in charge of intelligence and information. Countless officials in Beijing are afraid that this person has their own criminal evidence in their hands, and when they see him, they will respectfully call him "Master Jane". "Running dog" She Yi, they were even more afraid of Jian Yuanjia.

After all, when She Yi's temper came up, she just slashed you, but Jian Yuanjia used a knife to kill you, and even Shanyue was a little worried about this person.

"Xingdeng Village?" Jiang Jintang frowned: "Have you found out who it belongs to?"

"That's what I want to tell you." Shanyue said: "According to Mr. Jian's ability, the mastermind behind the scenes has not been found out. It can be seen that the opponent's power is very strong and hidden. When did Daye Dynasty have such a number? characters, we didn't realize it."

"If it wasn't for Xuan Ke, there would be no need to investigate Xingdeng Village. This seems to be his handwriting." Jiang Jintang thought for a while, and said, "Since the other party is suspicious, you should let Jiashi know. If they want to investigate, let them investigate." .”

Xingdeng Village is Jiang Jintang's "birthplace" recorded in the case record. The small fishing village that has been neglected for decades has suddenly become lively because of Jiang Jintang.

"Yes." When Shanyue turned to leave, Jiang Jintang suddenly said, "Shanyue."

Shanyue turned around, wondering: "Is there any other order, master?"

Jiang Jintang paused, and said, "It seems that I haven't heard you mention the Wen family's affairs for a long time."

Shanyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said: "I have never been named Wen since I followed the master."

Jiang Jintang stopped writing, hummed, and said, "Go."

Shanyue came out of the study room, the weather is good today, the plum blossoms are already in bloom, the peach and apricot trees are sprouting new green, the sun shines on them, it looks full of vitality.

He remembered what Jiang Jintang said just now, and pursed the corners of his lips.

The Wen family had a good time too, his father was an official in Qingzhou Taiwei, although he was not an official in the capital, but because Qingzhou is rich and full of merchants, if anyone wants a piece of the pie, they must pay a visit.

It is only six or seven years now, who still remembers the Wen family in Qingzhou?

Inevitably, he thought of the last time he saw that girl before Wen's family was robbed. At that time, she was not yet young, but she was already very beautiful. Others said that he was blessed, and his fiancee gave birth to such a beauty.

But after all, he was unlucky and failed to marry that girl.

……

Nie Xia got off the horse, squinted his eyes and looked at a small village at the foot of the mountain, and asked, "Is this Xingdeng Village?"

The subordinate behind said respectfully: "Master Hui, that's right. Our people have already lurked in, but nothing has been found."

Ever since the founding emperor of the Daye Dynasty, there had been a secret guard named "Xianyue", who only obeyed the orders of the previous emperors. The number of this secret guard was not large, but they were all masters among the masters, and they were not good at anything. Similarly, for example, the emperor's "Eagle Whistle" all over the capital belonged to Xianyue's intelligence agency, and Nie Xia was the leader of the Eagle Whistle.

This time Nie Xia followed the spies from Jiangnan to find out Jiang Jintang's life experience.

He was delayed by some things on the road, so he let the people under him go ahead, but he didn't expect to get nothing.

Nie Xia threw the reins of the horse to his subordinates, ordered a few people, and said, "You and I go in and have a look."

"Yes!"

The villagers of Xingdeng are simple and honest. Because it is adjacent to the river, the whole village relies on fishing for a living. If they have any leftovers, they will sell some. Therefore, some small traders always come here to collect some rare catches. .

Nie Xia and others dressed up as merchants and entered the village, and were warmly received by the villagers. After buying some things, Nie Xia smiled and said, "I actually came to this precious place just because of its reputation. After I came here, I realized that it really is an outstanding place. Guaidao can produce such a high-ranking figure."

The village chief was pouring tea for a few people. Hearing this, he immediately beamed and said, "Last year, the son of the second family of Wang took the exam for a juren. Our whole village has produced this juren for so many years. You are talking about him." Bar?"

Nie Xia smiled and said, "I'm not talking about the Juren master, but the nine thousand year old who is far away in the capital... I've heard that this big man originally came from Xingdeng Village... Village chief, you don't know Know?"

Speaking of Nine Thousand Years, the village chief's complexion changed, he sighed, and said: "We dare not say that this Lord Thousand Years...he is now the number one person in the capital. Lord, maybe he still feels that he has lost his place, so we dare not say it."

Nie Xia said in a low voice: "I see that in your village, first there are big figures like Lord Qiantui, and last year there was a master Juren. Could it be that the feng shui is very good, I am thinking about whether to move my family here..."

Hearing what he said, the village chief was even more happy, and said: "It's not me, our place has really good geomantic omens, there was a flood just over [-] years ago, and the weather has been smooth since then, look at Yangzhou next door. The plague is caused by floods, and we have nothing here..."

Seeing the village head talking endlessly about his village, Nie Xia didn't interrupt, and waited for him to finish before saying, "Maybe it's under the blessing of Wenquxing."

The village chief admired Nie Xia even more, and couldn't help but said, "I asked my wife to cook some wine and meat, how about you stay and have a drink?"

Nie Xia naturally didn't refuse, and said, "I hit it off with you, bro, let's have a drink!"

After this drink, Nie Xia was fine, but the village head was already so drunk, he grabbed Nie Xia's sleeve and muttered non-stop: "Our place is really good... ..."

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Nie Xia clicked his tongue, thinking that these people's mouths are really tight, no wonder the eagle whistles sent before have all failed. He stood up and tidied his sleeves, and heard the wooden door be closed. Squeak!" Pushing it away, the youngest daughter of the village head's family held a jug of wine in her hand and stood timidly at the door. When she saw Nie Xia, she blushed immediately and stammered: "I, my mother let me Come deliver the wine."

Nie Xia has a good skin, and he is good at using this skin given by his parents to coax the little girl, so he immediately smiled: "I'm sorry for the trouble."

The girl blushed even more, came in and put the wine on the table, seeing that her father was already drunk and unconscious, she pursed her lips: "I'll go and tell my mother, you go and rest first, the room is ready. "

Nie Xia nodded gracefully, and when she was about to leave the house, she suddenly heard the girl say in a soft voice: "I heard that you were asking about Lord Chitose."

Nie Xia looked back and smiled: "I'm just curious, girl, do you know about this?"

The little girl didn't dare to look at him, she shook her head, and said: "When I was born, Lord Qiantui had already fled to the capital, so I don't know much about him, but his family is of the same clan as ours, and there are some relatives. Get someone to bring something to our house."

Same clan...

Nie Xia sized up the little girl in front of her, and she could only be said to be delicate and pretty, not the slightest resemblance to Jiang Jintang's celestial beauty.

"I heard from my father before that Lord Qiantui also had a younger brother. At that time, he was sold into the palace because this younger brother was sick. Since then, there has been no news about them. I don't know if they are dead or alive." The village chief's daughter whispered: "The two brothers are twins. There was a sensation in the village when they were born, and everyone went to congratulate them. At that time, a wandering Taoist said that the moles on the two necks of their brothers were very good. , the future will definitely be the fate of the rich and powerful..."

Nie Xia interrupted: "You said they are twins, and they still have moles in the dimples of their necks?"

The girl was taken aback, and said, "Yes, yes...what's the matter?"

Nie Xia asked, "Where was that mole born?"

The girl thought for a while, gestured above her collarbone, and said, "It's probably here. The red one looks like a flower. My father said he remembered it very clearly..."

Nie Xia narrowed her eyes, then smiled softly, and said, "Thank you, miss."

The girl lowered her head and said shyly, "You're welcome... I've only heard it once or twice..."

Nie Xia cupped his hands, turned and walked out the door.

As soon as he left, the village head, who was still drunk just now, immediately sat up and glanced at his daughter: "Daughter, did he believe it?"

Nannie nodded: "I think he believed it..." She patted her heart and said, "Father, don't let me do this kind of thing again, it's scary!"

The village head patted his daughter on the shoulder, his eyes were a little heavy, and said: "The higher-ups have ordered, and we can only follow through... I hope that after this investigation, they can dispel their doubts."

Nannan thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Father, why did they want to investigate the past affairs of Lord Qiantose? Isn't Lord Qiantose the son of Old Uncle Jiang? There is nothing to investigate."

The village chief showed a wry smile: "I used to think so too, but until I saw Lord Qiantose nine years ago... that stingy Old Jiang, how could he have such a son? He is really a fairy-like figure! "

Nannan was startled and said, "You mean..."

"I didn't say anything." The village head sighed, "Let's not get involved in the affairs of these big shots, and live our lives honestly."

Nannan said: "Then Dad, you should go back to your room quickly, Mommy is waiting for you."

The village chief pushed open the door, and suddenly heard a whistling wind outside, but the surrounding branches and leaves did not move, where did the wind come from.

At this moment, a meow sounded, and the village chief was taken aback, only to see a raccoon cat squatting on the ground licking its fur not far away, shaking its head and saying, "It turns out that you are such a little beast, you scared me..."

While talking, he went back to the main house.

Nie Xia squatted on the roof, with a smile of interest on the corner of her lips.

——This Xingdeng Village is indeed very problematic.

I'm afraid that the red mole was born with Jiu Qiansui, if he didn't pay more attention, he would have been fooled.

Nie Xia opened the jug he was carrying with him, took a sip of wine under the moonlight, and sighed: "I have done a great job this time, and I have to ask His Majesty to reward me with two more jars of good wine."

He lightly got off the roof and landed on the ground without making any sound, only the raccoon cat barked at him.

Nie Xia winked at it: "Thank you very much, if I come again next time, I will bring you something delicious."

"—if I ever come again."
