Although he used the best injury medicine, Li Li's knife almost killed Jiao Lianyu. After recuperation for many days, Jiao Lianyu's face was still weak and pale, which could be seen as a damage to his vitality.
After drinking the medicine and handing the bowl to the servant, Jiao Lianyu asked with a gloomy face: "What's the noise outside now?"
"Return to the second young master, yesterday afternoon, the constable went to Xique Lane to arrest Chen An. He had confessed in the lobby. He was resentful that he had harmed the young lady at home, so he bribed the rogue and spread rumors, trying to ruin the wife's reputation.
, and he also planned to ask the second prince to marry a daughter of a criminal minister. From then on, the mother and son were in conflict and the brothers turned against each other."
With a sneer, Jiao Lianyu leaned on the chair and put the book he had just picked up again, "Some people believe this foolish thing? Chen An has always followed the leader of the eldest brother. Not to mention that Chen was taken away by the Forbidden Dragon Guard, even
Chen died of illness in the Jiao family, and the Chen family and Chen An dared not make trouble. Maybe they would help cover up and send another Chen girl to the mansion."
Jiao Lianyu half-squinted her eyes and fell into deep thought, "The Chen family is in decline, and her mother was unwilling to marry the Chen family at that time. It was her father's promise that the eldest sister-in-law came in, and the entire Chen family wanted to be able to praise the eldest brother's stinky feet. Chen An was just a
A humble businessman can only start his business by relying on his elder brother.”
"Young master wise, the master sent Niu Yue to the Chen family and brought the letter written by the master to Mr. Chen. After reading it, Mr. Chen burned it in front of Niu Yue." The Niu Yue in the servant's mouth was the Butler Niu.
The eldest son is also one of the most trusted subordinates of Prefect Jiao, and all the secret matters are left to Niu Yue.
"Niu Yue." Jiao Lianyu's voice was gloomy and cold. His father said that he had given up on his elder brother to cultivate himself, but in fact, what about it? He valued Niu Yue so much.
The chores of the front yard of Jiao Mansion were handled by Mr. Niu, and the affairs of the back house were handed over to Madam Niu. Niu Yue even followed his father to obey the orders.
If it hadn't for "bribing" Li Li in recent years and letting him spread a lot of news to him in the study, Jiao Lianyu would have doubted whether the Jiao Mansion still has its own foothold.
The servant glanced at Jiao Lianyu, and his expression became more respectful and humble, for fear of angering the uncertain Jiao Lianyu, "Chen An was unlearning and ignorant. He relied on his young wife's relationship and was protected by the eldest son, so he could gain a foothold in Qianzhong Prefecture.
Mr. Chen valued Chen Xu more. Now that he abandoned Chen An, Chen Xu had a chance to make a comeback."
To put it bluntly, the affairs of the Chen family are somewhat similar to those of the Jiao family. Chen Xu is a concubine's son. He bumped into the pregnant Mrs. Chen, which caused Mrs. Chen to lose a five-month-old baby boy. Mrs. Chen and Chen hate it.
This concubine's son/private brother.
In order to curry favor with Chen's cousin, Chen An naturally helped suppress Chen Xu.
Although Chen An’s second house is in business, he controls the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the Chen family. The servants who serve him are the best at acting with their eyes. Chen Xuming was not deducted, but he only knew what the situation was.
On the surface, the legitimate mother and the legitimate sister were unable to stand out. In secret, Chen An, the cousin, used all kinds of money to block and suppress. Chen Xu had never had the opportunity to stand out in recent years.
This time, Prefect Jiao made a statement, so Mr. Chen naturally took the opportunity to support Chen Xu. After all, Chen's biological daughter was deposed and was taken away by the Forbidden Dragon Guard, so she would not implicate her parents' family to save her. Thank God.
...
After the servant left, Jiao Lianyu calmed down and focused on reading. He ate some dinner, until the prefect Jiao and Aunt Huang came, Jiao Lianyu drank another bowl of soup and then asked him to take it.
The man lit a candle and read the book again.
Under the night, Jiao Mansion was already peaceful. Jiao Lianping had rested early. He wanted to go out for a long time. Unfortunately, he had a fight with Qiu Huaixin before, and his nose and face were not said to be swollen. Now, in the extraordinary period, the prefect Jiao would not let him go out for trouble.
.
Only Zhu Junxuan is still bright in lights. Jiao Lianyu's talent in studying is not as good as that of the dead Qiu Jinyu. He relies more on diligence.
With a creaking sound, the door was pushed open from outside. Jiao Lianyu put down his pen without any haste and pressed a poem he had just written with paperweight. Then he turned around and looked at the man dressed as a servant.
Ordinary facial features cannot be recognized in the crowd, but only when you look at people, you can see the depth that is hard to see through.
"My good mother and Mrs. Qiu went to the villa of Qiu Mansion together. The marriage has been retired." Jiao Lianyu picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. The ginseng and several other medicinal herbs tasted bitter and weird, but Jiao Lianyu was
I drank it all without changing my face.
"Qiu Jingyuan has a jade pendant in her hand. The owner of this jade pendant is hidden deeply. Even we don't know the other party's true identity. We only know a code name for Ermazi." The visitor spoke slowly, his voice did not lower. It seemed that the yard was still in the yard.
With his accomplices guarding him, he was not worried that the conversation with Jiao Lianyu would be eavesdropped.
"How is this possible?" Jiao Lianyu felt a little suspicious in his heart, but their own people didn't know who their surname was, and no one would believe it after they said it.
The person who came did not hide it, continued in a deep voice; "Ermazi was involved with the previous dynasty. He has never revealed any whereabouts in recent years. In his early years, he was also in a single line contact. After the incident occurred in the third house of the Qiu family, Ermazi could be contacted in the middle.
All three of them were killed.”
Because it was a single-line contact, one of the people died, and the connection between the front and back was interrupted, not to mention the three people died. No clue was found, and there was not even a general range.
"Is there one of them Qiu Wenlan?" Although it was a question, Jiao Lianyu's tone was affirmative.
As soon as Qiu Wenlan died, her secret was taken into the coffin. How did she contact the barbarians over the years, and how did she instruct the barbarian spies hidden in the Daqing Dynasty to act? What officials or ordinary people in the Daqing Dynasty were instigated by Qiu Wenlan, everything
None of them can be checked.
"Even Qiu Jingyuan herself knew about this jade pendant. She only knew that the things were in her dowry. After the third house of the Qiu family was seized, the batch of things were sealed by the yamen." The visitor said in more detail.
The third wife of the Qiu family is just one girl, so when she was beaten, Dou started preparing dowry for Qiu Jingyuan. Jewelry and other things were really boxes after boxes. They were always in the warehouse until something happened to the third wife.
All the property was sealed and placed in the warehouse of the yamen.
The case of the Third House has not yet been settled. These sealed property cannot be dealt with by the yamen, and of course it is impossible to return it to the Third House. After the case is investigated, those who should be confiscated must be confiscated, and all the private property belonging to Dou's family must be returned.
.
But if Qiu Jingyuan and Jiao Lianyu get married, Jiao Prefect only needs to open the Internet and have Lord Qiu agree to it, the yamen can naturally take some property back from the yamen in advance based on Dou's dowry list. But now something goes wrong and the marriage has been retired.
.
"Then why didn't Qiu Jingyuan let Qiu Jingyuan marry to the Xiang family to celebrate the wedding?" Jiao Lianyu asked afterwards. If she married to the Xiang family, the dowry might be brought back. After all, Lord Qiu is also Qiu Jingyuan's uncle, and the yamen will not dare not to be greedy for the three.
The private property of the housewoman.
"Getting married to the Qiu family will be of great benefit to your career." The visitor replied in a deep voice, with unconcealed sarcasm and disdain in his cold eyes. If Jiao Lianyu had not fallen in love with the Qiu family's family background, how could he agree easily
Marriage with Qiu Jingyuan.
The same saying goes, the misfortune is not as good as a married daughter. If Jiao Lianyu marrys Qiu Jingyuan, he is Lord Qiu’s niece. He doesn’t need to do whatever Lord Qiu says. The existence of this in-law relationship will make Jiao Lianyu smooth. After all, he doesn’t look at the monks and Buddhas.
noodle.
Furthermore, Jiao Lianyu and Qiu Huaixin are close friends. Now that they have more and more kinship, Jiao Lianyu's future is absolutely limitless.
Moreover, if this marriage is decided, it will make Jiao Lianyu miserable and win the sympathy of a group of literati. It will definitely kill two birds with one stone, but unfortunately it was destroyed by a letter from Zhan Feiyu.
When talking about Zhan Feiyu, Jiao Lianyu's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. "She actually helped me that good brother again and again, which is really unexpected!"
Not to mention the noodle recipe bought by Zhenweixuan, when this period of panic has passed, this noodle recipe will definitely make Jiao Lianping make a fortune.
Later, the Forbidden Dragon Guard even asked the Chen family to take him away. Now he helped Mrs. Jiao and Jiao Lianping to clean up the suppression of the concubine's son/children, and to grasp the infamous reputation of Jiao Lianyu's marriage. This was difficult for Jiao Lianyu to hold a grudge.
