It turned out that this Second Master Jiang was not the real Second Master Jiang at all. The Second Master of the Jiang family was indeed lost when he was young. Later, by chance, he just got news of his own family and was about to come back to recognize his ancestors, but he met He took over the chief manager of the backer king's mansion whose real name is Xu San.
Xu San colluded with others to frame his master, and worried that his new master would kill him. He had been preparing secretly for a long time, and escaped cunningly before the accident in the palace, and hid countless treasures in advance.
He was suffering from having no proper place to hide. At this time, he accidentally rescued the Second Master Jiang who was about to go home to recognize his ancestors. Xu San followed him under the guise of hiding his eyes and ears, not wanting the Second Master Jiang to see him treat him. He is very close to Yiqi, but mistook him for a good person. Once drunk, he couldn't help revealing his life experience to him.
Xu San saw that he was about the same size and shape as him, and his appearance was slightly similar, besides, Master Jiang Er didn't have any special marks on his body. After so many years, the Jiang family might not be able to recognize him, so he moved It made Li Daitao's froze mind.
In the next few days, he quietly questioned Master Jiang Er, asking about the Jiang family and his childhood deeds. Master Jiang Er was full of worries and longed for someone to confide in, but he actually told him everything without reservation.
A few days later, Xu San saw that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he killed Master Jiang Er, and took his token to the Jiang family in Anyang City to recognize his relatives.
He has always been cautious in his work, but the Jiang family didn't notice the clue. The mother, son, and brother cried bitterly, and they really regarded him as the second master of Jiang and left him behind!
But he was still worried, so he deliberately did something wrong, which made the old lady and elder brother feel uncomfortable and didn't want to see him very much, so he used "honestly" to live in seclusion, reciting poems and painting all day to pass the time, It is easy not to meet people and meet guests.
Mr. Jiang saw a brother who came back in no time, and he was worried that he would grab power with him. Seeing that he was so sympathetic to him; he didn't like the old lady, and the old lady didn't pay much attention to him, so he married a daughter-in-law for him. Forget it, if there is anything in the family that needs to be contacted and communicated with others, let the eldest son go.
Over time, everyone almost ignored the existence of the second master Jiang. No one in the mansion pays attention to him, let alone outside the mansion
In this way, he spent more than seven years in peace.
But he didn't know that the father of the backer king, that is, Zhou Shizhi's grandfather, once established a dark guard of iron cavalry, which was invincible and unrivaled, and made great military exploits for the backer's mansion.
But then it was too peaceful, and there was no war to fight, and this iron cavalry had already shown up in front of people. I don’t know who said a few words to the court, and the emperor sent a verbal order to imply that the old backer king would disband this iron cavalry.
This is the hard work of the old backer king. The original 8,000 iron cavalry, after the tough battle in 1989, died, injured, and disabled, only more than 3,000 people and more than 1,000 disabled people remained. People, how could he have the heart to disband
Not to mention the inseparable precious feelings between each other in the life-and-death test, these people have been in the army for so many years, once they are disbanded and go home, they don't know how to make a living, God knows how they will live in the future
Let his mighty cavalry, which makes the enemy fearful, go to farm? Going to work as a guard and porter for a rich family? Go to the streets and alleys to sell and sell small businesses? To work as a coolie on the docks
Just thinking about it, the old backer king felt aggrieved.
After thinking about it, he decided to reply to the emperor on the face that these people had been disbanded, and secretly resettled them all.
Because the backer king's fiefdom is in the south, in order not to attract attention, the old backer king deliberately placed these people in a very hidden valley in Xingtai, Northwest Xingtai - Qilin Villa, and specially sent several loyal stewards to bring a sum of money. Huge fortunes used to operate.
The stewards were unwilling to sit back and eat, so they turned the wealth into capital and started a big business. The cavalry also knew that the present was not what it used to be, and each of them concealed their identities to participate in the business. They took turns every year and trained for half a year. Practicing martial arts, running business for half a year, taking freight, opening a horse farm, etc. After a few years, he has accumulated countless wealth.
The old backer king didn't think of inadvertently inserting Liu Chengyin at the beginning. Under the persuasion of his son, he felt that it is not bad to keep such a team, at least it can be used as a trump card of the Zhou family, and it may be able to play a miraculous effect when necessary.
Therefore, the old backer king instructed to absorb young forces to supplement the iron cavalry, to pass on this team, and at the same time, the scale of business was also secretly expanded.
After the death of the old backer king and before the Zhou family was ransacked and beheaded, they had already accumulated a huge wealth.
However, the secret of the Qilin Villa was passed down orally by the old backer king and his son, other than that, no more than five people knew the secret. When disaster struck, the backer king died before he could tell his son.
Fortunately, Eucommia and Xue Heng are one of the insiders. After they rescued Zhou Shizhi, they began to hide in Tibet while looking for Qilin Villa.
In the past few years, the imperial court pursued them closely, so they dared not go on the road easily, so they had to hide their names and simply lived in remote villages for a year or two to settle down. While teaching Zhou Shizhi martial arts and literacy, they waited for the opportunity.
Now that the wind gradually loosened, they dared to take him to the northwest.
It's just that although they know that Qilin Villa is in Shaanxi, they don't know the exact location, and they can only try their luck.
As for Qilin Villa, after learning that it had been more than three months since the accident happened in the palace, everyone was shocked, and the shopkeeper Yi Feng hurriedly sent someone to inquire about the news.
After many twists and turns, Fang learned that the backer king had another young son who was rescued by his loyal family and was being hunted down by the court. Yi was overjoyed by the news, so he sent someone to secretly search for it.
Unexpectedly, the little master was not found, but it almost aroused the suspicion of the people in the court. This scare was serious, so many people had to be withdrawn for the sake of safety, and only a few efforts were left. .
A few years passed in a blink of an eye, and there was no news at all. Gradually, everyone lost their patience. Only the chief treasurer, Yi Feng, the cavalry commander, Guan Li, and the father and daughter of Lansi who were in charge of spying, insisted that they would definitely find them. return.
Nearly a month ago, after Zhou Shizhi, Eucommia, and Xue Heng entered Shaanxi, they accidentally ran into people from Qilin Villa. After entering the villa, Yi Feng and the others saw the little master, with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy, and shouted to the heavens. Eye.
Yi Feng and others reported to Zhou Shizhi all the affairs and all the circumstances of the villa in detail, and then asked about the difficulties of the palace, feeling deeply moved.
Knowing that Xu San, the chief executive of the mansion, had betrayed the prince and colluded with others to frame him, Yi Feng suddenly felt moved. He mentioned that he had seen a figure from the back in Anyang City that looked very much like Xu San. At that time, he almost wanted to catch up to see what happened It's a pity that the man disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye, but he didn't care when he learned that it was the second master of Jiangfu from the people around him.
But now it can be heard that since Xu San did not go to the court to receive the reward, but disappeared, and the Jiang family just found the missing second son at about that time, it can be seen that there are many doubts in it.
How could Zhou Shizhi sit still when he heard the news about his suspected enemy? After discussing with Eucommia and Yi Feng, Yi Feng sent Su Yingyue to sneak into Jiangfu to investigate secretly. At the same time, they also sent people to inquire about the Second Master Jiang in Anyang City.
If he hadn't needed to be familiar with and accept many affairs in Qilin Villa, and Eucommia, Yi Feng, etc. also advised him to stay calm, he would have come to Anyang in person.
Su Yingyue worked peacefully as an ordinary maid in the Jiang Mansion. According to the information she got, she set her sights on the study of Master Jiang Er, knowing that there is a high possibility that the wealth stolen from the Wang Mansion is hidden in his study. And the seal of the backer king.
Those wealth came second. Only by finding this seal can Xu San's true identity be truly determined. Because only the real Xu San would keep this seal.
It has been so many years, and Xu San intends to change his appearance, Su Yingyue secretly compared him with the portrait that shopkeeper Yi Da drew for her, and they are only half or six points similar. If the second master Jiang refuses to admit it, but bites back and makes the matter worse, it is not beautiful.
However, Su Yingyue went to the study several times and searched everywhere, but found nothing. She couldn't find any hidden rooms. She even suspected that the information given by her family was incorrect.
Until that night when she met Lu Xiaoshu in the study room, she thought that this little girl had a lot of tricks, and she didn't seem to have any good intentions in going to Jiangfu anyway. Help her find it together.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoshu woke her up with a single word by mistake. When she went up to the second floor, she touched somewhere. It happened that Lu Xiaoshu picked up the painting at the same time. As a result, Lu Xiaoshu had a tragedy...
Su Yingyue actually heard her cry, and when she hurried downstairs to look, she didn't find her.
Su Yingyue wondered secretly, she just thought it was Lu Xiaoshu playing tricks to make her escape easily, so she ignored her, but continued to search on the second floor, and finally found a hidden compartment on the beam. The white jade seal of the backer king is impressively inside.
Su Yingyue was overjoyed, quickly took the seal and left quietly, and got in touch with her family...
At the same time, Zhou Shizhi had almost understood what he should understand, so he also galloped towards Anyang with his people.
Since this Second Master Jiang is so suspicious, this traitor who has ruined his entire family, he has to come over to confirm it for himself no matter what!
Lu Xiaoshu was shocked and sighed in his heart when he heard it, and even more aggrieved, he said sullenly, "Is that Su Yingyue? What kind of people are employed in your Qilin Villa! How could anyone be so careless! Am I such a dishonest person? I ran away without saying hello? It makes no sense, she underestimates me too!"
Lu Xiaoshu spat at Su Yingyue angrily, and asked Zhou Shizhi if that was the case
Zhou Shizhi touched his nose and turned his head to the side, took a deep look at her, and coughed. (By the way, from next month, there will be two updates every day for the time being, please forgive me)
Lu Xiaoshu was about to scold him angrily, when he suddenly remembered that he had escaped silently when their master and servant couldn't let go
