After Jiang Li left Jiang Yuanbai's study, Jiang Yuanbai did not look for her again.
For the time being, it calmed down.
Ye Mingyu also lives in the courtyard where the guests live, not far from Jiang Li's courtyard. Although Xue Huaiyuan is now an old man, it is impossible for Jiang Li to live with Xue Huaiyuan in Jiang's family. Ye Mingyu and Xue Huaiyuan can only live together. Fortunately, they are close enough to visit him at any time.
Jiang Jingrui came here after hearing the news and couldn't wait to say: "Jiang Li, I know all the things you do in front of Chang'an Gate. I knew I would join in the fun too! So many people, your father had paid for it before. I was so furious. I didn't expect to be persuaded by you now in a few words. Okay, I really underestimated you in the past, and I am getting more and more capable."
Jiang Jingrui hasn't seen him for many days, and he still hasn't grown up like before. Jiang Li asked him about some recent incidents in the Jiang family, and found that there was nothing special except Jiang Yu'e entering the Ningyuan Mansion. Dismissed.
Tonger walked in from the yard and said angrily when entering the house: "Girl, just now at the gate of the yard, I saw a few ghosts and ghosts looking in. Mingyue and Qingfeng also said that from afternoon to night, our yard is more outside. There are a lot of inexplicable people. Ji's is here again to find something. It really doesn't stop, we just returned home, what does she want to do?"
In the entire Jiang Mansion, only Ji Shuran could perform inexplicable surveillance. Jiang Li smiled and said, "Let her go, I don't have time to deal with her now. Besides, if she wants to inquire about something, everything that can be inquired will spread out. If she can't inquire, there is no way to me. Check it out. Leave it alone, and rest early. I'm tired and panicked on the road during this time."
She collapsed, and soon the lights went out in the house.
The lights in Fangfeiyuan went out early, Jiang Li rested quickly, but some people in Jiang's Mansion couldn't sleep.
Ji Shuran beat Jiang Yuanbai's back while worryingly: "Master, what happened to Li'er this time? No matter what she did in the past, she always made trouble in the house. Now she has gone out to make trouble outside the house. Others may decide to settle the account. To the master."
Jiang Yuanbai frowned, and he heard what Jiang Li said today. If there is any real heart that can move him, it is because this matter involves the Li family. The Li family actually took the shot so early. If the Li family is really in the middle of it, Jiang Li's approach is the best choice right now. Moreover, Jiang Li came forward, and she should look better on the bright side anyway.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said, "Just leave these things alone, I have my own opinion."
Ji Shuran's hand hammering his shoulders tightened slightly. She heard Jiang Yuanbai's tone, and her attitude was clearly softened. What did Jiang Li say to him made him change his mind so quickly. You should know that Jiang Yuanbai was furious because of this when he was in Wanfengtang before.
But Jiang Yuanbai would never ask about things that Jiang Yuanbo didn't want to say. This was her cleverness. Therefore, Ji Shuran did not continue this sentence, but changed the headline: "Master, in fact, the other concubines are nothing. This time Li'er brought Fengxian Cheng back to the mansion, that's all, but concubine. I heard some rumors today. I heard that Li'er treats the Fengxian Cheng like a family member, taking care of me, personally serving and drinking water and food. Some people say that they are more concerned than taking the master."
"Nonsense!" Hearing the last sentence, Jiang Yuanbai started shooting the case, "Nonsense!"
Ji Shuran hurriedly said: "Master calmed down, and my concubine heard the same from others. Li'er has always been gentle and kind. Seeing that the county prime minister is pitiful, she should be concerned about him. It's just that the concubine doesn't understand, and the maid can also do these things. So, why does Li'er, as the Jiang family, have to do these things in person? Did this Fengxian Cheng know Li'er before? Li'er is so easy to be involved in this case in Tongxiang, is there any other secret?"
Jiang Yuanbai's chest was ups and downs violently, and it took a long time to calm down. His eyes were uncertain and he seemed to be lost in thought.
Upon seeing this, Ji Shuran did not continue to speak, a trace of pride flashed in his heart.
As early as when she knew about this, doubts arose in her own heart. Don't look at Jiang Li's performance always being gentle and generous, honest and kind, but she also lived such a long time, you can see the coldness and alienation in Jiang Li's heart. Even to the Jiang family, the reason why she can always afford to let it go, seems to care less, is because she always treats the Jiang family as a "guest". Therefore, Jiang Li would not complain too much about all the unfair treatment given to her by the Jiang family.
Jiang Li is a person who is polite and alienated and will not ask for trouble. To his biological father, Jiang Yuanbai, he maintains only superficial respect, let alone a stranger. However, the news that came back was that Jiang Li seemed to have infinite patience with Xue Huaiyuan. He never pretended to be a man in his daily life. He was no small and meticulous, and he was kinder than his biological father.
This is really suspicious. It is a pity that no matter how Ji Shuran investigates, no other reason can be found. But it is not in a hurry. This alone can make her make a fuss about it. For example, if she tells Jiang Yuanbai about this, isn't Jiang Yuanbai suspicious
Moreover, Jiang Li has been worrying about the Tongxiang case recently, so she must have no time to deal with her. She is so friendly with Xue Huaiyuan, there must be something hidden in this, she will definitely find out.
At that time, Jiang Li will die.
…
In the morning of the second day, Jiang Li woke up early.
After breakfast, she wanted to visit Xue Huaiyuan in Ye Mingyu's courtyard. Before she could go out, Bai Xue came in and said, "Girl, someone is here to report. Master Ye Biao is coming to see you."
Ye Shijie? Before Jiang Li had time to find him, he came to Jiang Mansion first. Jiang Li said, "Okay. I'll see you."
When we arrived at Wanfengtang, only Mrs. Jiang was talking to Ye Shijie. Jiang Yuanbai and Ji Shuran were not there. Ye Shijie saw her and called out: "Cousin."
Jiang Li replied: "Cousin Ye."
Old Mrs. Jiang said clearly: "Second girl, your cousin came to the mansion, and he has something to say to you. You two brothers and sisters should go and talk first. You are tired, so go back to the house first."
I don't know if it was because of the Xue family case that Mrs. Jiang had some complaints against Jiang Li, and her attitude towards Jiang Li was neither lukewarm nor lukewarm. Ye Shijie looked in his eyes and didn't speak.
Jiang Li didn't care. After Mrs. Jiang left, Jiang Li said, "Cousin, Uncle Mingyu is also at the house. I was just about to go there. Since you are here, let's go see him together."
"Good." Ye Shijie said.
The two walked to Ye Mingyu's yard together.
"I've heard about things in Xiangyang, about Guxiangdan, thank you for your help." Ye Shijie said as he walked.
"Nothing," Jiang Li smiled, "Although my surname is Jiang, my mother's surname is Ye. You should help the Ye family. Besides, if this matter weren't for you to go to the Weaving Room Ling in Yanjing City, it wouldn't have gone so well. Don't thank me, thank yourself."
Ye Shijie shook his head: "Without the name of Mr. Jiang, weaving room Ling would not move so fast."
"Then you shouldn't thank me," Jiang Li said, "I'm at best a fox and a fake tiger."
Ye Shijie looked at her sideways. After a few days, she seemed to grow taller again, more like a girl. How many years ago, he decided that one day he would have such a calm conversation with Jiang Li. It seems that all the estrangements and misunderstandings in the past have disappeared.
Of course, now the estrangement and misunderstanding between her and the Ye Family has really disappeared. The Ye Family has completely accepted her, but I don't know if she has completely accepted the Ye Family.
"Cousin Ye, you will be there for the interrogation two days later, too." Jiang Li asked.
Ye Shijie nodded: "Yes." He was silent, and then said: "I don't know what it is."
Jiang Li smiled and looked at him: "How do you feel about being an official these days? Does it still work?"
Ye Shijie smiled bitterly.
Being an official is the same as being a business. It is more sophisticated than a business. Not to mention how many really good officials do not have to be promoted. If you want to climb up in the officialdom, you have to slap a horse and have a good relationship with the superiors. You have to follow along with the things that others do. If you don’t, you will be resolutely divided into your own camp.
Over time, Ye Shijie became a person without a camp, because he refused to confuse him, he could only see it for a lifetime. Do you want to be a member of the household department for the rest of your life? But if you want to go further, you have to go against your own instincts.
Ye Shijie felt very troubled.
Jiang Li patted him on the shoulder, as if he could hear his heart, and said, "Cousin, don't worry. If you don't want to get something against your intentions, then stick to your own things. One day you will. When someone sees you, it’s like you were on the top of the National Supervisory School exam. All you need is an opportunity. If you don’t have a chance, then we can create opportunities."
Ye Shijie was taken aback and couldn't help looking at Jiang Li. The smile on Jiang Li's lips remained the same, but Ye Shijie felt that it was different from before. After returning from Xiangyang, Jiang Li seemed to let go of something, and also seemed to have confidence. The previous mask was gently torn open, and her scruples were less.
She became even more unlike the former "Miss Jiang Er", even the gentle and generous Jiang Li later on. She began to show some aggressiveness.
What changed her
Just thinking about it, Jiang Li pointed to the front and said, "Here."
Tonger and Bai Xue went to report first.
Soon, Ye Mingyu's loud voice rang from inside: "Ali, Shijie, you guys came very early!"
Jiang Li also Ye Shijie entered Ye Mingyu's yard.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Ye Mingyu wiping Xue Huaiyuan's mouth. The two guards pressed Xue Huaiyuan. Xue Huaiyuan was struggling so hard that Ye Mingyu was also in a hurry.
Jiang Li stepped forward and said, "I'll do it." Taking the handkerchief, let the two guards let go, slowly comforting Xue Huaiyuan.
Xue Huaiyuan looked at her, stopped gradually, and sat happily, Jiang Li carefully wiped his mouth with the kerchief.
Ye Mingyu heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Ali, you have a way. I'm really exhausted."
Ye Shijie stared at it and asked, "This is..."
"This is the original county prime minister of Tongxiang, Xue Huaiyuan. Now that he is crazy, A Li is afraid that he will be killed by someone outside, so he brought him back to the mansion."
Ye Shijie turned his head and looked at Jiang Li again, slightly startled.
Jiang Li likes to laugh, and there is always a gentle smile on the corner of his lips, but it is impossible for others to guess whether that smile comes from the heart. Ye Shijie sometimes feels that she can't understand Jiang Li. Everything she does has its own truth, but even when she looks at it together, she doesn't think she understands.
But now Jiang Li, with a smile in front of Xue Huaiyuan, Ye Shijie can be sure, that's sincere. Once you have seen Jiang Li from the heart, you can understand how false Jiang Li's smile was in the past. When she wiped the corners of Xue Huaiyuan's mouth with her kerchief, the winter sunlight climbed onto her profile, making her appear pure and beautiful like never before.
"Boy," Ye Mingyu's voice suddenly rang in his ears, frightening Ye Shijie. Ye Mingyu whispered to him violently, "How about it, the little cousin looks good? Isn't it dumb? Marry her as his wife?"
"Uncle San!" Ye Mingyu's face flushed red, and he said sharply. I had known that the third uncle was speechless and unreliable. I didn't expect to dare to make such a joke.
"Well, well, I won't say it." Although Ye Mingyu said so, there was a clear smile on his face, which made Ye Shijie even more embarrassed.
After Jiang Li took care of Xue Huaiyuan, she let Tong'er and Bai Xue play with Xue Huaiyuan before she walked over and said, "What are you talking about."
"Nothing." Ye Shijie said hurriedly.
"I'm saying, I haven't seen my Shijie nephew for a long time. My Shijie nephew has grown so tall." Ye Mingyu stroked his chin and said solemnly, "Look at now, it's also a talent, young. I became a Beijing official again by my own ability. This is a good family that is hard to find with a lantern. It’s time to tell him a good wife. I don’t know which girl is so blessed to find my nephew, Shijie? You say Right, Ali?"
Ye Shijie said in embarrassment, "Uncle San!"
"Yes." Jiang Li also smiled, "If I meet a suitable lady, I will definitely help Cousin Ye pay attention."
Ye Shijie and Ye Mingyu were stunned at the same time. Ye Mingyu glanced at Ye Shijie, suddenly laughed, scratched his head and said, "Well, it's not in a hurry. Get married first and start a business. Don't be in a hurry, take your time."
Ye Shijie did not speak.
"Uncle Ming Yu, there was nothing wrong with the inn last night, right?" Jiang Li asked. What she was worried about was that someone would take action against the people of Tongxiang. Although ordinary people would definitely not have troubles at the cusp of this storm, there is no doubt that there is no silver in this place. But Princess Yongning is different from ordinary people. She is domineering and bold. She always thinks that Princess Liu and King Cheng are guarding her. She is foolproof and may do something.
"It's okay, the person who came to report today said that there was a little movement outside last night, but it's okay to go out to see. I think Ali, do you worry too much? This is at the feet of the emperor, who dares to kill at the feet of the emperor? Many people, this is so much movement, don't you want to kill you?"
Jiang Li said: "That's good." But he thought about it in his heart. About Ji Heng's people are outside to help cope with it, and there will be movements. Jiang Li is relieved of Ji Heng's manpower. Although trading with Ji Heng is like looking for a tiger's skin, it is a cheap thing to be able to fake a tiger's prestige.
Ye Shijie said: "The emperor has asked the Criminal Ministry to interrogate it. To tell the truth, the Drum of Injustice can do so, and let His Majesty personally supervise it. It is really beyond my expectation."
"What's the matter?" Ye Mingyu didn't care: "Shijie, you didn't see it. The people in Tongxiang are miserable. Feng Yutang is really not a damn thing. The emperor has to be the master of the people, we all risk it. The price of sitting for fifty is a grievance, the emperor heard it, and of course he could come forward to help the people, didn’t he?"
"Uncle San, what you think is too simple." Ye Shijie said solemnly: "Many things can't be done rationally. Even the emperor loses the voice of the emperor, which is very tricky. I think it's not because of the case, but because of the people on the case, right?" He looked at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li smiled. Ye Shijie grew up very quickly. She felt that this young man was not in the pool at the beginning, but now she has only a short time as an official, but she also understands some official rules.
She said: "Yes."
"What is written in the envelope," Ye Shijie asked, "You said that there was a leader behind the Xue family's case. This person... must be the key to let the emperor personally supervise the case. Who is that person?"
The zhezi written to the emperor was not written by Ye Shijie, but by Jiang Li, and was submitted by Ye Shijie with the help. Ye Shijie has never seen Zhezi, nor does he know who else is involved in the case of the Xue family above Zhezi. But he can feel that the key to this matter lies above this person.
"Yes, Ali," Ye Shijie said, and Ye Mingyu also remembered: "You didn't tell me before that there is a powerful person behind the Xue family's case, and this talent is the master behind it. You talked about Yan. I know it naturally in the capital. Now you can tell me who this person is? I want to see which powerful and powerful person is so shameless, and what kind of hatred does he have with the Xue family, and he insists on making people like this? "
Jiang Li looked at the two of them, sighed softly, and spit out a name.
"Princess Yongning."
…
At the princess's mansion, Princess Yongning "slapped" the cup in her hand.
She was about to be furious. She was scratched by the fragments brought out by the cup. The people around her were immediately shocked when she saw it. Princess Yongning had something wrong, and it was them who were unlucky.
Shen Yurong beckoned and said, "Go and get the wound medicine for the bandage."
The people breathed a sigh of relief and gratefully went to find medicine. Princess Yongning has a bad temper, and no one can control her. Only the master of Zhongshu Shelang Xiaoshen, when facing Master Xiaoshen, Duke Yongning mainly constrained a lot, and the lives of these servants were much easier. Master Xiao Shen is gentle and kind-hearted, never embarrassing them, and occasionally the servants make mistakes, Master Xiao Shen also helps to persuade Princess Yongning not to embarrass them. The servants of the princess mansion felt that if Princess Yongning's future cohort was really this little Shen, it would be a happy event for the princess mansion.
The wound medicine was soon found. Shen Yurong signaled that the people all quit, she took Princess Yongning's hand on her lap, and applied the wound medicine to her carefully.
Princess Yongning was moved by his gentleness, he was always like this, sometimes indifferent, sometimes considerate, and taught her to see clearly. But she was still suffocating her anger, and said bitterly: "Jiang Li!"
Now the whole Yanjing city is rumored that the second lady of the Jiang family is bringing a group of Tongxiang county residents to vindicate Xue Huaiyuan before. Yongning didn't know before, she wanted Liu Taifei to facilitate her marriage with Shen Yurong. Concubine Liu didn't like Shen Yurong very much. Shen Yurong had a wife. Moreover, although Shen Yurong is now thriving, she has no family support. Concubine Liu still hopes that Princess Yongning can marry a family of aristocratic families.
Fortunately, Cheng Wang also helped Shen Yurong to speak, and Princess Liu finally agreed. Thinking about it in a few days, I will bring it up with Emperor Hong Xiao. Although Emperor Hong Xiao hated being a mother and son, he would not tear his face on the bright side anyway. In addition, the director of Yongning's arrogance was that Emperor Hong Xiao had known for a long time that, as long as he insisted that Princess Yongning was in love with Shen Yurong, Shen Yurong was the only one, and Hong Xiao also It's not easy to block it.
Thinking that this matter was foolproof, Princess Yongning was happily preparing wedding dresses for herself, so she didn't even bother to inquire about the Tongxiang side. It wasn't until Jiang Li returned to Beijing yesterday to beat a stone lion to sing the drum in front of Chang'an, and the Ministry of Justice decided to arraign it, and it was passed to the princess' mansion that Princess Yongning learned about it.
Princess Yongning was furious. She thought Jiang Li would have died in Tongxiang a long time ago. Feng Yutang said before that Jiang Yuanbo's daughter came to Tongxiang to investigate the Xue family's case. When she wanted to vindicate the Xue family's case, she told Feng Yutang to let Feng Yutang kill Jiang Li.
What identity is Jiang Li, even Jiang Yuanbai's daughter, she is not at all afraid. Firstly, the Jiang family is not as good as before, and secondly, Jiang Li is not particularly favored in the Jiang family. Tongxiang is so far away, who knows what happened, Feng Yutang was caught, and she sent someone to kill her, but others still couldn't get hold of it.
But Princess Yongning didn't expect Feng Yutang to be so useless. Not only did she not kill Jiang Li, she was also caught by Jiang Li. I didn't expect that Jiang Li would be so extraordinary, and he brought Tongxiang County residents into Beijing to chant the drums of injustice.
When Princess Yongning heard the news, she immediately sent people to Chang'anmen to assassinate Feng Yutang, but Jiang Li's men were so good that the killers she sent out did not succeed.
Then at night, Princess Yongning sent someone out again. Outside the inn where the residents of Tongxiang County lived, there was no dripping water. This time she still failed. Princess Yongning is not a fool. How did Jiang Li find such a powerful person? Her big uncle is at best a gangster, and it is impossible to beat her. This time, Princess Yongning was faintly aware that someone behind Jiang Li might also be helping her.
But she thought about it, and still had no clue. But one after another bumping into a wall has already annoyed Princess Yongning very much. She was not afraid that Feng Yutang would say her name. Feng Yutang didn't have the courage, and there was no evidence that she could not be implicated. But what was annoying in her heart was that Jiang Li actually rescued Xue Huaiyuan.
That is Xue Huaiyuan, Xue Fangfei's father! She just wants to kill the Xue family. Any Xue family who escapes from birth will make her unhappy!
Princess Yongning hated Jiang Li. Xue Fangfei was good at playing the piano, and Jiang Li was also good at playing the piano. Xue Fangfei was an outstanding student, and Jiang Li won the first prize in the Mingyitang school exam. Jiang Li and Xue Fangfei have too much in common. Whenever they see Jiang Li, they will make Princess Yongning hate them.
Now, Jiang Li broke her plan even more and rescued Xue Huaiyuan! It's really hateful!
"Yongning, forget about it," Shen Yurong said.
Princess Yongning looked up, looked at him and asked, "Shen Lang, what do you mean by this?"
"Xue Huaiyuan's case, don't intervene. Even if Jiang Li brings the Tongxiang county citizen to the imperial court, it won't involve you. If you have another incident, you don't have to be."
Yong Ning "cocked" in his heart and looked at Shen Yurong without speaking.
She didn't tell Shen Yurong about the Xue family, and instructed Feng Yutang to put Xue Huaiyuan in prison. She didn't tell Shen Yurong. In private, Shen Yurong didn't know, and Yongning didn't know very well. However, Yongning guessed that Shen Yurong didn't know, because with Shen Yurong's temperament, if he knew it, he would not stand by. He still had feelings for Xue Fangfei, how could he watch Xue Fangfei's father suffer.
Jiang Li brought Xue Huaiyuan into Beijing, and Yongning couldn't wait to kill others. In addition to not letting him be involved, she also didn't want Shen Yurong to know. Of course this is impossible, and Shen Yurong will know about it anyway.
But he made such a calm and gentle statement about this matter. For some reason, Princess Yongning got goose bumps all over her body.
He knew it a long time ago. He even knew that he secretly explained what Feng Yutang did to Xue Huaiyuan, but he didn't know his purpose and didn't stop him. He just watched everything she did quietly.
Princess Yongning was suddenly and a little confused. Does this man really love Xue Fangfei? If it is love, can it be so ruthless? Does he love himself? Would he be so cruel to himself
"Yongning," his voice contained a sensible tenderness, "I don't want you to have an accident."
He seldom said such nice words, although Princess Yongning knew that he was rich in five cars and was able to make a good essay. It shouldn't be difficult to say one or two nice words. But he is always very stingy, not to mention love words, but also gentle and caring words, and he cannot be heard every day.
But today he said it, looking at Yongning, speaking sincerely.
As a result, the confusion and anxiety in Yongning's heart were swept away, and he fell into his affectionate eyes.
"I just feel weird in my heart," Princess Yongning said: "This is just a small plan, that is, Jiang Li took someone to Nagato to raise the drums of injustice, and it wouldn't be necessary to immediately ask the Criminal Ministry for interrogation. It is an interrogation. The emperor doesn’t want to personally supervise it. There are countless big and small things in Yanjing City every day, and he can’t always ask the emperor to interrogate everything. But the emperor not only intervenes, he seems to be very serious.”
"Shen Lang, you are smart, can you think of why the emperor would do this?"
Shen Yurong shook his head.
He really didn't know, because the emperor's behavior was indeed abnormal. He couldn't help but thought that if Xue Fangfei were still there, she would be fine, she was ice and snow and smart, and after discussing a few words with her, maybe we could get the truth.
Unfortunately, Xue Fangfei has only one, and that one is already dead.
He watched her die with his own eyes.
