The young man was upright and elegant, as gentle as jade. Looking at the young man in front of him, Su Zhiyan's lips curled up slightly and he said with a smile, "Back then, the entire Su family was wiped out. Within three days, the government concluded that it was bandits who were causing trouble.
, are they really gangsters?"
Ji Yannuo only heard Ji Nanbei talk about what happened back then. He really found out about the Su family's affairs after he came to Ningcheng.
According to the news sent by Yan Ruiyuan, the Su family and the Zhu family had some grudges back then, so he followed this direction to investigate, and he really found out something.
For the sake of their own future, the government at that time closed the case hastily and blamed the crime on a group of bandits.
"At that time, all the evidence pointed to the Zhu family, but the local officials did not dare to offend the Zhu family, so they destroyed the evidence and changed the situation. Not only did the entire Su family die in unknown circumstances, but also eighteen bandits died unjustly. I
I went to Zhu's house not just for Xiao Yu'er, but also to investigate." Su Zhiyan said calmly.
"But you are alerting the enemy." Ji Yannuo took the teapot off the stove, poured a cup of tea, and chuckled, "Now I can be sure that our purpose is the same."
"The matter I want to investigate is closely related to the Zhu family and is also related to the Su family tragedy. We can cooperate." Ji Yannuo pushed the tea in front of Su Zhiyan.
"Why help me?"
"If I can't cure you, how about you give me your body for research after you die?" Ji Yannuo stood up with a smile and said. "Drink the Bihua Silver Needle while it's hot."
White smoke was rising from the teacup, and two tea leaves were floating on it, exuding a faint fragrance. Su Zhiyan drank the tea in one gulp, "Okay."
He never thought that he could cure his own health. No matter what purpose Ji Yannuo had to help him, it was better than being alone. What's more, Ji Yannuo had the Yan Family and Xuanxiao Pavilion behind him, which would benefit him greatly.
No harm done.
Ji Yannuo opened the folding fan in his hand with a "swipe" sound and left gracefully.
Bihua Yinzhen is really good tea!
Little did they know that the deal reached over a cup of tea would turn the world upside down in the following time.
Zhufu.
"Trash!" The tea cup fell to the ground, and the hot tea splashed onto Zhu Ziyao. He knelt on the ground without daring to say a word.
"It's okay if you didn't catch the assassin I asked you to catch. You can't even find a few of them. What's the use of you?" Zhu Cheng said angrily.
"Husband, we just lost a few people, why are you so angry?" Mrs. Mei walked in with a sweet smile, and the three-inch golden lotus paused beside Zhu Ziyao, then walked towards Zhu Cheng enchantingly, and put her hands on
He held his chest, pulled him to sit down, and said with a smile, "How can anyone be really angry with his own child?"
"He wants to piss me off to death!" Zhu Cheng calmed down a little, and then said, "If you can't handle a small thing well, you are nothing but a waste!"
"Okay." Mrs. Mei raised her hand to ask Zhu Ziyao to get up, "Yao'er, come here and pour a cup of tea for your father to calm down."
Zhu Ziyao walked over with his head lowered, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Zhu Cheng with both hands.
Zhu Cheng snorted coldly, took the tea, and took a sip. Mrs. Mei tried to smooth things over and said, "Okay, you and your son have reconciled." She rubbed Zhu Cheng's shoulders and motioned for Zhu Ziyao to leave.
He walked out of the room, walked to the corner, and looked sideways at the man sitting on the high seat in the hall, teasing the woman next to him, and his face became gloomy and terrifying.
Child? He is just a dog in front of Zhu Cheng. Zhu Cheng has never regarded him as his own child. He has forgotten that the head of the Zhu family sitting in the hall, high above him, is his father.
He was originally the legitimate son of the Zhu family, and his mother was a young lady from a scholarly family in Ningcheng. After giving birth to Zhu Zishun, she died of depression.
In his memory, his mother never smiled, always with a hint of sadness, watching her husband lovingly love other women from a distance. She was obviously the legitimate wife married by Sanshu Liupin, and she was still alive.
Not as good as a maid in the house!
And Zhu Cheng has never liked him and his younger brother. When he was young, he had expected and imagined that his father would be tall and mighty, like a god. Even if he didn't like himself, one day he would always see his father.
.
Until later, his younger brother died of illness. Outsiders said that his younger brother died for making poison. Only he knew that it was Zhu Cheng who gave the poison to him with his own hands in order to refine the poison to please the man and woman in the house.
Brother! Three whole days! Three days! He watched his brother die in his arms with his own eyes!
That day, he not only lost his only brother, but the father in his heart also died! He lived and endured humiliation just to one day sit on the position of the head of the family and trample under his feet all those who had failed him!
"Are Zhu'er and Yan'er coming back?" Zhu Cheng took a sip of tea and was annoyed by Mrs. Mei. Most of the worries in his heart were eliminated. He thought of his own children and couldn't help but frown.
Relax.
"Yes, Yan'er came back with a message yesterday and will arrive in Ningcheng tomorrow." Mrs. Mei said lightly, "This time the two of them went to Jinling City for a year. Husband, please don't let me indulge you again next time.
They are so ridiculous."
"How can this be nonsense?" Zhu Cheng said with a smile, "News comes from Jinling City from time to time. Yan'er and Zhu'er have done a lot of things in Jinling City and managed the Zhu family's branch village very well. Unlike that
Damn it, not even a single person can be found."
"But I can't bear to part with you." Mrs. Mei waved her sleeves and sat on Zhu Cheng's lap with the scent, and said coquettishly, "I haven't seen the child for a year."
"Okay, okay." Zhu Cheng said that Mrs. Mei's coquettishness was very useful. He pinched the tip of Mrs. Mei's nose and said with a smile, "When they come back, let them accompany you well!"
"In order to make up for the madam, I asked my men to find some good medicinal materials and asked the madam to refine the medicine. It will definitely keep the madam young!" Zhu Cheng said with a smile.
"Then I'll thank you husband first." A glint flashed in Mrs. Mei's eyes, a pair of arms wrapped around Zhu Cheng's neck, and she said with a charming smile, "After we practice the medicine, I can be with my husband."
Be together for a long time."
Mrs. Mei is obviously almost forty years old. She is a few years older than Zhu Cheng. Now she looks like a girl in her twenties and eighties, but she is more charming than the girl.
And behind this beauty, there are so many young girls’ lives! Over the years, Zhu Cheng has collected young girls from everywhere for Madam Mei, in order to refine their essence and keep their youth forever!
Small courtyard.
Bai Shu pushed the door open and walked in, "Sir, here are the missing people over the years, mostly young women! My subordinates checked the files in recent years and found that in the past three years, there have been more than forty missing girls in Ningcheng alone."
"More than forty people, so many?" Ji Yannuo frowned slightly, separated the medicinal materials, handed them to the medicine boy on the side, and fiddled with the medicinal materials that were drying on the side.
"Yes, most of them are teenage girls. The government has also investigated them, but most of them have been ignored." Bai Shu said, "According to the news sent by the Yan family, with Ningcheng as the center, there are five surrounding cities.
Within a few years, girls have disappeared."
"The most beautiful lady in Ningcheng is Mrs. Zhu." A ruffian voice came. Su Zhiyan changed into a white silk silk robe, with wide sleeves that moved with the wind, carrying a hint of wind.
He walked over with a sense of fairy spirit and a smile.
"Mrs. Mei, I know this. It is said that Mrs. Mei is already in her forties, older than the head of the Zhu family. She looks like a girl in her twenties and eight years. She is very favored by the head of the Zhu family." Baizhu.
He took the conversation and said.
"Who says it's not the case?" Su Zhiyan took out a handful of melon seeds from nowhere and said while eating them, "Mrs. Mei is quite famous in Ningcheng. The concubines regard her as a role model, and the wives regard her as a role model."
Consider it a disaster."
"Mrs. Mei is the concubine that Zhu Cheng picked up when he went to sea. It is said that Mrs. Mei is also quite capable. She gave birth to a baby boy within one year of arriving at Zhu's residence, and gave birth to a daughter in the third year.
He held them in his arms for one year and firmly settled into his position. In the fourth year, he survived his wife's death. He was straightened up and his children changed from concubine to legitimate son overnight. Zhu Cheng was very happy with the two children born to Mrs. Mei.
child
He is very doted on. In comparison, Zhu Ziyao, who was born to his wife, is not very doted on." After finishing the gossip, he finished eating the melon seeds in his hand, looked at Ji Yannuo and said with a smile, "Zhu Ziyao's younger brother.
It was because of Mrs. Mei that he died. It was that old guy Zhu Cheng who personally fed the poison to his own son in order to please Mrs. Mei. Zhu Zishun died when the antidote was not available."
"You know the Zhu family's affairs quite well." Ji Yannuo said with a smile.
"I'm not talented. I can only inquire about some gossip. If Mr. Ji doesn't dislike it, I will definitely tell you everything I know." Su Zhiyan said.
"So, what does Mr. Su say so much have to do with the missing girl?" Bai Shu asked in confusion.
"You suspect that Mrs. Mei captured a young girl to make medicine in order to stay beautiful." Ji Yannuo speculated.
Su Zhiyan glanced at Ji Yannuo and said with a smile, "After all, the missing girl has something to do with the Zhu family, right?"
Previously, the Zhu family only destroyed the Yan family's secret pile, and did so in a very secretive manner. Then a traitor appeared in the Yan family's secret pile, and was silenced before they could find out. In addition, the Yan family was infiltrated.
As for the extent of penetration, it remains to be verified.
After these things began, Ji Yannuo began to help Yan Ruiyuan investigate one by one. The Zhu family gradually learned about it after he went to the Ji family.
If Mrs. Zhu Jiamei really kidnapped the girl because of her beauty skills, then why did the Zhu family want to use the Yan family's backstabbing?
This doesn't seem to make sense. Although the Yan family has retreated into the world, they still have influence in the world. The purpose of spreading hidden stakes is to collect information and manage the Yan family's business. This does not conflict with the Zhu family.
