Why does she know almost everything? And she is obviously an ordinary peasant girl. He used to be immersed in joy and didn't think much about it, but now he calmed down and realized that something was wrong all along.
Huo Jingchen thought for a long time and made a decision silently in his heart.
At this time, in a side room in the general's mansion, Liuying silently opened the wooden box given to her by Jiang Hexi. There was a click and she saw a blue purse inside. When she opened it, she saw that it was full of silver, and there was a box next to it.
Carrying a pack of dried meat.
Liu Ying chewed the dried meat with red eyes, silently condemning Jiang Hexi in her heart.
"Bad girl, stingy! Can't you give me a few more packets? I won't be able to eat even if I want to! You're still so stingy..." Liu Ying couldn't help but cursed loudly.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Liu Ying, are you okay?" Huo Jingyun's worried voice sounded.
Liu Ying hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and the meat scraps from the corners of her mouth with her sleeves, patted her face to wake herself up, walked to the door with a straight face and opened the door.
"What do you want from me?" Liu Ying lowered her eyes and said softly.
Looking at Liu Ying who didn't dare to look at him at all, Huo Jingyun couldn't tell that she must have cried, and he didn't have the heart to expose her. He stared at the redness in the corners of her eyes, with a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes, and smiled as if he didn't care.
: "I heard from Xing Luo that you were back, so I thought you might not have had dinner yet, so I brought you food."
With that said, Huo Jingyun raised the mahogany food box in his hand and walked in.
Huo Jingyun laid out exquisite dishes one after another and handed Liuying a pair of chopsticks with a smile.
Seeing his rare considerate look, Liu Ying's eyes turned red, but she didn't say anything. After taking the chopsticks, she lowered her head and ate silently, almost burying her head in her rice bowl.
"Here, try this." Huo Jingyun didn't ask any questions and kept bringing her food.
Liu Ying, on the other hand, swallowed the food in her mouth and swallowed, quietly eating all the dishes he brought.
For a moment, the atmosphere was not as sad as before. Liuying knew that Xing Luo had told him this, and couldn't help but feel grateful to Xing Luo in her heart.
But then she thought about Jiang Hexi. Liuying's originally happy mood faded slightly. She felt that her life had been ups and downs today, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in her heart. She continued to eat in silence.
Huo Jingyun, on the other hand, always tacitly agreed not to ask any unnecessary questions. He just observed her expression and rice bowl from time to time, and occasionally brought her food. When he saw that she ate it obediently, the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly.
"Girl, the orders for our knitting workshop for the General's Mansion have been completed and will be delivered the day after tomorrow. Would you like to come over then?" Li Lanhua handed Jiang Hexi a cup of tea and said softly.
Jiang Hexi took the tea cup, took a sip, and said warmly: "No need, you and Tieniu can just watch it better."
"Now that you are becoming more and more stable, you can also learn to take charge of these things on your own." Looking at Li Lanhua, whose eyebrows were getting firmer, Jiang Hexi was both emotional and happy for her.
Li Lanhua smiled shyly, then thought of something, and said with a voice: "Girl, has Liu Ying really left the village?"
"Well, Liu Ying is originally from the General's Mansion, so it's time to go back." Jiang Hexi pretended not to notice her tangled look and smiled slightly.
"Okay, girl, you continue to read the account book, I'm going to do some work." Li Lanhua forced a smile and left lightly.
Jiang Hexi was stunned for a moment, and then began to look at the account book seriously.
As for Li Lanhua, as soon as she went out, she was surrounded by women and girls who had been paying attention to the movement here for a long time.
"Lanhua, tell Auntie the truth, why did Miss Jiang drive Liuying back to the General's Mansion?" Jiang Guixiang took Li Lanhua's hand and asked in a lower voice.
"Auntie, I didn't drive away Sister Liuying, but there was something going on in the General's Mansion. Sister Liuying was originally from the General's Mansion, so she naturally had to go back." Li Lanhua inadvertently withdrew her palm and explained slowly.
"But this is too sudden, why do I feel something is wrong!" A woman patted her thigh and looked at Li Lanhua with a frown.
Seeing that they wanted to ask more questions, Li Lanhua's expression calmed down, and she glanced around the crowd coolly and said, "Don't you want to work? Why are you so free to gossip and chat here? I still need this month's wages."
Do not made?"
"Auntie, you're joking! Don't be angry, Lanhua, don't be angry." The woman smiled and hurriedly returned to her original position to work.
Even Jiang Guixiang was annoyed by Li Lanhua's arrogant attitude when she heard about the wages, but after being warned many times by Jiang Hexi, she did not dare to make a mistake and went back to work in despair.
The other people were also in a hurry to leave, for fear that Li Lanhua would vent his anger on them.
Seeing that everyone seemed to know each other, Li Lanhua relaxed and went to work elsewhere.
Aunt Li, who was sitting there working, and Zhang Meiying, who was sitting next to her, looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.
When the sun gradually climbed directly overhead, Jiang Hexi cleared all the ledgers, stretched, took a sip of herbal tea, and planned to leave the knitting workshop.
With a click, Jiang Hexi opened the door and saw Li Tieniu waiting outside.
"Girl, my uncle and the others are back! They are waiting in front of the girl's house now!" Li Tieniu approached Jiang Hexi and deliberately lowered his voice.
Hearing this, Jiang Hexi's eyes flashed with surprise, and she hurriedly said: "Then let's go back quickly."
As soon as she approached the Jiang family's courtyard, Jiang Hexi saw Chen Gui and Zhao Liang standing there with a vicissitudes of life, and several men beside them. One of them, a strong man with a beard, particularly attracted attention.
"Miss Jiang!" Chen Gui saw Jiang Hexi coming back and rushed to greet her.
"Miss Jiang." Xie Liang greeted with a smile.
Jiang Hexi nodded towards the two of them, without asking about the origins of the others, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, thank you for your hard work. Come in quickly."
A group of people came in, and Li Tieniu poured tea for them spontaneously.
"Miss Jiang, these are the former brothers of Yanzhou Huai Guichou, and this is Sun Yu, the third leader." Chen Gui took the tea handed over by Li Tieniu, pointed at the strong man with beards and smiled.
"Hello, Miss Jiang! My name is Sun Yu. I am my sworn brother. They are all my brothers. The reason for coming here this time is about He Yinbao." Sun Yu clasped his fists towards Jiang Hexi and shouted in a hoarse voice.
"Brother Sun!" Jiang Hexi hurriedly stood up and followed his example, cupping his fists to say hello.
"He Yinbao colluded with Zhang Gouguan, the prime minister of Yanzhou Prefecture, for money, and pretended to persuade my eldest brother to Zhao'an, but secretly set up an ambush to lure my eldest brother and me to go, and almost all my eldest brother's people and I were killed!"
Thinking of the tragic situation of the Huaijiang River flowing with blood, Sun Yu's eyes turned red with hatred, and he gritted his teeth, fearing that he was going to cut off He Yinbao's head immediately.
"Not only did they divide all my eldest brother's wealth, but they also put the blame on my head, saying that I took away all the money, but the court didn't get any of it!"
"But my life, Sun Yu, should not be cut off! Even if I survive being stabbed several times, then I will definitely pay for it with He Yinbao's blood!"
"Miss Jiang, we met Brother Sun by chance. For the same purpose, Brother Sun helped us a lot." Chen Gui took over the words and winked at Jiang Hexi after speaking.
Jiang Hexi immediately understood what he meant, and nodded slightly to reassure him. After all, she was not afraid of Jiang bandits. As long as they had a common enemy, they were friends, and she would naturally not judge people by their appearance.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hexi's smile deepened, and she smiled at Sun Yu and said: "Brother Sun is so righteous! You really admire me. Brother Chen must have told you about my grudges with He Yinbao, so let's take a cup of tea.
On behalf of the wine, congratulations on all our wishes coming true in advance!"
"Miss Jiang is great! Sun Mou drank this cup!" Sun Yu, who was a little nervous at first, immediately smiled heroically and poured a cup of tea boldly. A lot of tea spilled down his neck due to his quick movements. In a moment,
His face became more and more ferocious.
Jiang Hexi was not afraid of this. After all, what is more terrifying than appearance is the human heart. After drinking a cup of tea, he smiled and said: "Then let's discuss how to deal with He Yinbao together!"
"Okay!" Sun Yu shouted.
"Miss Jiang, this is something Guizi and I found together with the help of Brother Sun." Zhao Liang took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Hexi.
Zhao Liang slowly explained: "There is a lot of evidence in it about He Yinbao's previous kidnappings, and some evidence that He Yinbao colluded with Zhang Zhi, the prime minister of Yanzhou Prefecture. Unfortunately, too much time has passed, and we can only find some evidence of their interactions."
"But after our investigation, we found a subordinate who used to follow He Yinbao. He knew a lot about He Yinbao. That was why He Yinbao wanted to silence him. Unexpectedly, he faked his death and escaped, but we caught him
.”
"Now he is locked up in Guizi's house by us. According to our interrogation for many days before, he has confessed. In fact, He Yinbao was attracted by Gui Jianchou's wealthy family and wanted to wash his hands and return to Lingxian County. And Zhang
Determined to make meritorious deeds, the two hit it off and colluded to kill Gui Jianchou."
"The man's name is Xu Lin. According to his confession, he said that in order to prevent Zhang Zhi from biting him, He Yinbao deliberately left a lot of evidence that they discussed the murder of Gui Jianchou and hid it in a special pear wood box."
"Moreover, He Yinbao is extremely wary. Xu Lin said that he would not carry anything with him because he was afraid that someone would snatch it away. He also had to check whether the evidence was still there from time to time. Xu Lin estimated that he would keep it in the study or bedroom.
Especially in some blind spots.”
Chen Gui took over the message: "Didn't Miss Jiang specifically ask Tieniu to write to me? We then investigated Aunt Duan's affairs, and there was indeed evidence of her hands and feet. It was because of her ghosts that she agreed to Zhao'an."
"That's right! If this evil woman hadn't lied that she was pregnant with my eldest brother's child, and my eldest brother didn't want his son to be a Jiang gangster in the future, how could he agree to He Yinbao's lies about Zhao'an! I must kill these two bitches
Broken into pieces!" When Sun Yu heard this, he immediately became angry and said with a ferocious face.
