Chapter 23 The Enemy Meets

In the early morning of autumn, the air is clean and the sky is high and the clouds are light. Mr. Jiang took his son to lead the way, and the sound of horse hooves seemed particularly ethereal and beautiful in the mountains.

After the carriage and horses were gradually heard outside the car, Jiang Liu asked Shuqiu to lift the curtains of the car window. She poked her little head out. What caught her eye was a blue brick wall several feet high under the blue sky. The city wall was beyond the edge of the left and right, and it was very majestic and shocking. The three red lacquer words "Anyang Gate" above the city gate tunnel that were coming and going, shining in the sun, making Jiang Liu's heart warm.

This is the time and space where she is now - the southern gate of Kang'an, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Anyang Gate.

Seeing the endless stream of pedestrians and the glittering big words on the city gate, Jiang Liu knew that the capital was prosperous and prosperous, and people's hearts were stable. Because if people's hearts were turbulent and all industries were not prosperous, the flow of people would not have such aura, and no one would spend time painting the plaques on the city gate with red paint.

Shu Qiu saw the girl staring at the other side and was stunned, and looked at the city gate, and then shouted, "The Third Master is taking the Second Master, and the Third Master is waiting to welcome us at the city gate!"

Where?

Jiang Liu flashed with big black eyes and saw a fat man in blue jumping up and down at the city gate. She thought this must be Jiang Siyu, the Jiang family’s Sanlang, because - at the first sight of her, she felt that he was very eye-catching, which made her feel uncomfortable!

Sure enough, a young man wearing a moon-white long gown greeted her father with a terrifying little fat man in blue and another child. This man should be Jiang Huai, the third child from the Jiang family. Jiang Liu looked carefully. If Jiang Huai looks worse than her father Jiang Feng, it is not a little bit worse, but Jiang Huai looks like a calm, capable and capable person. Her father... is not easy to comment.

After Jiang Huai greeted her second brother, his eyes fell on Jiang Ling behind him, and Jiang Erlang and Jiang Sanlang also stared at Jiang Ling.

Mr. Jiang called Jiang Ling to recognize someone, "I have come here to see your third uncle, second brother, and third brother."

Jiang Ling stepped forward and bowed with great confidence to call people. Mr. Jiang smiled and replied, "Get up quickly. My family has been thinking about you all these years. We can finally have a reunion year this year."

Jiang Liu in the carriage... Uncle San is indeed very good at speaking!

Jiang Erlang also bowed, "Brother Ling."

Jiang Sanlang pointed at Jiang Ling with his finger and laughed, "You went to the mountains to burn charcoal? Why do you look so dark!"

Jiang Huai gave in to the side so as not to be affected by the fish in the pond. As soon as he stepped back, Mr. Jiang Erkang used a horse whip to knock Jiang Sanlang's head as a wooden fish, "Bang!"

"Ouch!" Jiang Sanlang covered his head and jumped, "Why did the second uncle hit me!"

"It's you who beat me! Did you say that to your brother?" Mr. Jiang said, "Where is the rules?"

Jiang Sanlang is favored at home, but he dared not provoke his second uncle. At this time, he could only bow his head and said unhappy, "Grandmother asked the third uncle to bring me and my second brother to welcome the second uncle and third sister, and the sixth sister and... brother back home."

At this time, Jiang Erlang had already arrived at the side of the carriage, and the curtain was half raised. Jiang Liu followed Jiang Muyan and called him "second brother" with a smile.

Erlang Jiang Sishun smiled gently, "Six sister is so great, grandmother will definitely be happy when she sees her."

Jiang Liu said silently, she was still far from the good fortune.

After the carriage drove into Anyang Gate, Jiang Liu was still lying by the car window and looking out. The scene outside the window was like a very realistic holographic image of ancient urban life, and she actually became a part of this scene, and her feelings were quite complicated in her heart.

The Jiang family lives in the east of Kang'an City. It took about half an hour to drive from the south gate to the Jiang family. Jiang Liu stared outside and looked at the half hour, not feeling bored at all. When the carriage drove into a quiet alley with persimmons planted on both sides of the road, Jiang Liu knew that this was Shifeng Alley where the Jiang family was. In addition to the Jiang family, there was also a family in this alley that was closely related to the Jiang family - the Meng family.

After living in the mountain for three months, Jiang Liu roughly understood the origin and hatred between the Jiang Meng family.

Jiang Liu's grandfather Jiang Mian and Meng Huizhou, the Meng family's master, were classmates and friends in his childhood. Both of them entered the imperial examinations. Although their careers were different, they finally served as ministers in the Ministry of Justice, which was very close to each other.

In June of the previous year, the Supreme Emperor ordered the Ministry of Justice to thoroughly investigate the corruption case in Suzhou. Meng Huizhou and Jiang Mian were busy at the Ministry of Justice day and night, and their homes were not allowed to go back. On the night of the fire in the Ministry of Justice, Jiang Mian and Meng Huizhou had a fierce quarrel while having dinner at the same table. Then Meng Huizhou returned home in anger. The fire burned all the files of the Suzhou case and burned the prisoners to death. Jiang Mian "devoured himself to atone for his sins that night."

It was also that night that the Jiang Mansion, who was still unaware of it, was surrounded by imperial guards and searched. The first stop when Jiang Song sent someone to secretly leave the mansion to inquire was the Meng Mansion. Unexpectedly, the Jiang family could not even enter the gate of the Meng family. Later, after learning that Jiang Mian had an quarrel with Meng Huizhou, the Jiang family determined that Jiang Mian's death must be related to Meng Huizhou.

Because these two people have been together for most of their lives and have never blushed once!

What could make them quarrel like this? Later, there were rumors on the street that Jiang Mian took the benefits of the officials involved in the Suzhou case and wanted to vaguely get rid of the crime. Meng Huizhou quarreled with him when he learned about this!

The Jiang family naturally did not believe that the fair and honest Jiang Mian would do such a thing. The court did not find any evidence in the Jiang family that Jiang Mian was related to the Suzhou case, but everyone pushed him. The people who took the opportunity to make things difficult for the benefit of the Jiang family to disperse all their wealth and clear the relationship. Only then did they get the case that "Jiang Mian has nothing to do with the Suzhou greed case, but they knocked down the lamp oil and ignited the file under fatigue." The Jiang family escaped.

When the Jiang family could go out, the first thing was to return Jiang Mian's corpse from the yamen. Unexpectedly, after Jiang Mian's mourning hall was erected, the first person to pounce on him and cried was Meng Huizhou, who had not shown up for several days!

At that time, the Jiang family had just escaped from danger. Although they hated him very much, they did not dare to drive him out of the mansion and cause trouble. Meng Huizhou cried so hard that he felt sincere and even fainted in the mourning hall. Jiang Mian's old mother, Mrs. Jiang, was also angry with him and died of illness three months later.

After Mrs. Jiang died, Meng Huizhou came to cheer for filial piety again, and Mr. Jiang beat him out directly. Unexpectedly, on the day the grandmother's funeral, Meng Huizhou set up a table to celebrate the sacrifice. When Mrs. Jiang's hearse passed by the mansion, she took the Meng family to cry and worship in front of the mansion and could not afford it, which won praise from passers-by.

At that time, Jiang Mian burned the file and angered the Emperor, which also made the Suzhou case a unsolved case and became a sinner in the eyes of the people of Kang'an City and even the Great Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, when Jiang Mian of the Jiang family was mourned, passers-by were scolded; when Mrs. Jiang was mourning, passers-by also said that this was the retribution of the Jiang family.

When no one wants to get involved in the Jiang family, Meng Huizhou was not afraid of being implicated. Not only did he speak for his old friend, he said that he accidentally knocked over the candle because he worked hard for several days, but he also paid homage to Mrs. Jiang with such a great gift. How could it not be admired!

I admire him as a big ghost!

After knowing these past events, Jiang Liu's cheeks were sore when he gritted his teeth and thought that Meng Huizhou was such a big white lotus! When he passed by the gate of Meng's mansion, he would not talk about the others in the Jiang family, Jiang Liu would even want to pick a persimmon and throw it on the gate of his house! What she hated the most in her life was the green tea white lotus!

Right now, Mr. Jiang Er also looked at the closed door of the Meng family hatefully. Jiang Huai was afraid that his second brother would have something to do again, so he quickly advised, "My mother is waiting in the mansion. She ordered people to prepare your favorite food. Let's go back quickly."

At this time, the gate of the Meng family opened. It was really a narrow road for enemies. The one who came out was Meng Xunzhen, the third son of the Meng family who had a fight with Mr. Jiang outside the Liujia Village three months ago!

When the two of them have a pair of eyes, it means that the enemy meets each other, and they are extremely jealous!
