… Actually, the Marquis of Jibei was not as easy to deal with as Ling Zui thought.
He just never doubted Jiang Qizheng and Ou Qinglan.
After all, the former has always been a typical lady in the eyes of the elders, with a simple and innocent personality and a weak hand; although the latter's military force has always been recognized, it is not proportional to the city government - in short, the two of them are in Jibei Hou seems to be a child who is not familiar with the world.
He is still his own child.
Therefore, the Marquis of Jibei would never have imagined that the deaths of Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing were basically planned and implemented by these two "frightened" juniors. He wished that the unscrupulous descendant Jiang Yadan, whom he had beaten to death with his own hands, was just the eldest son of the fourth family member.
But he doubted the lifesaver of his two children - Qiu Jinglan!
So after briefly comforting Jiang Qizheng and Ou Qinglan, the Marquis of Jibei began to say things calmly: "Fortunately, you were lucky enough to be safe! This time, it was the mistake of us elders that caused you to suffer like this." It's hard to get back... Fortunately, Chunjun was prepared and protected you in time! It's just that he was too careful. Even if he didn't know who was behind the scenes, he gave us the news in time! I’m so worried about you—Xiaoba is in Shazhou anyway, and Jingli is going crazy!”
There are traps everywhere in these words: it has been a long time since Jiang Qizheng and the three were kidnapped, especially Jiang Qizheng and Ou Qinglan are both women. Since they claim to have not been violated, they must have been rescued very early. Otherwise, given Kuang Qingwu's hatred against the Jiang family, it would be absolutely impossible to let them go.
Qiu Jinglan, who had saved them in this way, was heartbroken - why did Jiang Yadan kill Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing? The most direct reason and reason is that Jiang Yadan thinks that they murdered his sister!
If Jiang Yadan knew that his sister was fine earlier, why would he kill his two cousins in a rage
Of course, the Marquis of Jibei also doubted: "Did the first and third bedrooms really get wronged this time, and it turned out that the fourth bedroom was shouting to catch the thief?"
According to this assumption, there are really more suspicions in Sifang. "Xiao Shiba has always been pampered. Even though the autumn wind left and did not return for more than a year, she missed it in her heart, but Shazhou was so far away and her child was so young. Why did she suddenly... Are you looking for a husband in person? Ah Xing claims to be here for Qiu Jinglan, but how could he know that he is not here to confuse people! That Ling Zui is Qiu Jinglan’s best friend!
"In addition, Xiaoba wanted to chase them back. Although Xiaoba is a man, he always enjoys himself. How can he give up the bustling capital and accompany them to fool around? I thought it was strange earlier, but Xiaoba always escapes. , I can do anything, so I don’t take it to heart... It would be fine if all this was done by the fourth room, the purpose is to let Kuang Qingwu come forward to 'rob' Xiaoba and the others, and then give Xiaoba a reason Attack Xiaoer and Xiaoliu... Then the Zhenxi Army naturally fell into the hands of Qiu Jinglan, which is equivalent to giving it to the fourth room... "
Thinking of this, the Marquis of Jibei began to look ugly!
But Jiang Qizheng wiped her tears and replied: "You don't know something, little uncle! Although General Qiu did place someone under Kuang Qingwu's command, that person's status in front of Kuang Qingwu was not high - at that time, Kuang Qingwu Wu wanted to treat Ah Xing... No. The man risked his life to trick Kuang Qingwu into letting Ah Xing escape on horseback. He ran on the snowy field for several days and nights, but thanks to Ah Xing's riding skills, he was able to ejaculate, otherwise there would be consequences! It’s unimaginable!”
Qiu Jinglan was transferred to the army as a general after being executed by Hanfu in the last year of his life.
"As for Ling Zui and I, we also relied on that person. After that person let A Xing go, he knew that he could no longer hide his identity, so he poisoned Kuang Qingwu's old servant Lao Zheng since he was a child with the poison of Wulanxiang as an antidote. Only after threatening him did Kuang Qingwu dare to do anything to us! It’s just that although Kuang Qingwu took a fancy to the old servant, he still harbored ill intentions toward us! Those days now seem like years, if Ling Zui hadn’t stayed with him every step of the way! Protect your grandniece, she already doesn’t want to live anymore!”
After saying this, he sniffed and looked down at his scarred fingers, "That's right! The grand-niece also wrote a blood-sealing letter and asked the guards to keep it close to their bodies, so that if they had a chance, they could just escape on their own and don't worry about the grand-niece... I wonder how those guards are doing now?"
Marquis Jibei had noticed the injuries on her hands when she lowered her head - with his eyesight, he could see at a glance that those injuries were indeed caused some time ago, not just in the past two days. Moreover, there are clear bite marks on the edge of the scar. It is obvious that the only way to use the teeth is without tools to cut the fingers.
"When Xiao Shiba was at home, he said that he had bitten off his finger. Even if he bumped it, a large group of people would surround him and feel distressed!" The Marquis of Jibei speculated on Jiang Qizheng based on his usual impression, and he had a thought in his heart. Soft, "No matter who is behind these things, this kid... is really pitiful!" He could see that there were many scars that could not be removed.
Although the Marquis of Jibei is a man, he also knows how much a young and beautiful woman, especially a princess, values her body, hair, and skin! Hands, a part that needs to be exposed to others all the time, are something that every qualified lady will take good care of. It was absolutely unavoidable. How could Jiang Qizheng have damaged herself to this extent
However, he was still very suspicious of Qiu Jinglan, so he asked again: "Then Kuang Qingwu actually pays so much attention to Lao Zheng? It's really unexpected!"
Lao Zheng was just a servant. How could Kuang Qingwu think about the relationship between master and servant as much as Kuang Shihan being his biological father
The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable! After all, you are still being threatened for a servant. Are you kidding!
Jiang Qizheng did not answer his questions this time, but shook her head: "My grandniece doesn't know why? Anyway, after Kuang Qingwu was tortured and failed to find the antidote for Ulan Xiang, he treated us with courtesy!"
"That boy really showed off his flaws!" The Marquis of Jibei was filled with rage! He pressed and coaxed the two "frightened" juniors for a while. Seeing that their emotions had stabilized, he immediately found an excuse to leave.
After he left, Ou Qinglan, who had cooperated with Jiang Qizheng before, asked worriedly: "Qiu Lang..."
"If your Qiulang can't even deal with his younger uncle..." Jiang Qizheng said lightly, "then he'd better stop trying to suppress the Western Army as soon as possible and go back to Beijing to be guided by Xue Chang!"
... After a long while, Qiu Jinglan, who was summoned to the temporary camp, faced the Marquis of Jibei's question very calmly: "The so-called hidden man that Princess Chunfu and Miss Ou are grateful to is actually not the general's person." !”
The Marquis of Jibei said indifferently: "Really? We will know after I conduct a thorough investigation."
This clearly shows that he doesn't trust him.
Qiu Jinglan was not in a hurry and only said: "When the first general suddenly received the news that Princess Chunfu and his party were attacked and were being imprisoned somewhere, although he was suspicious, everything was fine, and he did hear that Princess Chunfu The group was heading towards Shazhou City, so they took some people out of the city... but met Miss Ou on the way! This was how they saved Princess Chunfu and Ling Zui."
"It seems that you are the noble one they have chosen!" When the Marquis of Jibei said this, there was clear murderous intention in his tone. "Everyone in the capital thought that the three of them were gone. Nineteenth in the fourth room followed me in front of me. The second brother had a falling out with the first and third bedrooms, so the second brother had no choice but to let me, an old man, go on this trip - but he didn't want to cause a dispute between the fourth bedroom and the first and third bedrooms or even mutual hatred. It turned out that It’s just that the thunder was loud and the rain was small, but you eliminated it in the blink of an eye!”
"Afterwards, the general also felt very strange, so he asked Miss Ou how did he meet the general and his party in the vast snowy plain?" Qiu Jinglan continued, "Miss Ou said that the man who let her run out said, The horse she prepared knows the way! Just let her run!"
The Marquis of Jibei frowned slightly when he heard this...
Qiu Jinglan's expression remained unchanged and continued: "In addition, when I finally met Miss Ou, Miss Ou was already dying! If she hadn't been strong-willed, she would have even..."
After a pause, the Marquis of Jibei asked himself to imagine how difficult and terrifying it would be for a spoiled young lady to escape alone in the wilderness of ice and snow.
"If the general instructs Kuang Qingwu to kidnap Princess Chunfu and his party, the general will never let Miss Ou go alone. Even if she is let go, it will not be in his own name!" Qiu Jinglan said calmly He said, "If something happens to Miss Ou, the general will not be able to bear this responsibility! After all, Miss Ou's brother Oubicheng is the best friend of the general's brother-in-law!"
"The Marquis knows the life experience of the general, so he naturally knows the importance of my sister in the heart of the general! No matter what the general plans, he will not hurt his sister!"
The Marquis of Jibei said expressionlessly: "If you take charge of the Zhenxi Army, my nineteen-year-old daughter-in-law will be able to rely on your power and act arrogantly as a sister-in-law!"
"Now that the general's achievements have not been completed, is it possible that my sister has been wronged in the Jiang family?" Qiu Jinglan asked, "The confidence of the daughter who left the court to act arrogantly as a sister-in-law depends on her husband and children. If you only rely on your mother's family, please forgive me for being rude." : Princess Qi is an example!”
These words left the Marquis of Jibei speechless - indeed, Qiu Yilan has been regarded as a mistress among her sisters-in-law since she entered the Jiang family. She has the demeanor of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhuang, but it is not because of Qiu Yilan's Jinglan, instead relied on Jiang Yashuang!
Qiu Jinglan kept up her efforts: "What's more, a few days ago, before the accident between the Second Young Master Jiang and the Sixth Young Master Jiang, the general had already received the news that his sister was pregnant, so I asked the Duke of Qin to personally intervene!"
The implication is naturally that my girl was quite impressive before she got pregnant. Now that she is pregnant, don’t be too proud! As an elder brother, I have no problem taking advantage of her! Then why should I take the risk to attack your children? Do you think I'm stupid
"What is imaginary is real, what is real is imaginary!" Ji Beihou said these eight words for a long time with a gloomy face!
Qiu Jinglan could tell that he still doubted himself on the surface - maybe you did it just because you could cite so many reasons why you couldn't instigate this? The more unlikely the person, the more likely he is!
However, the Marquis of Jibei actually hesitated.
This was what Qiu Jinglan had expected - because deep down in the heart of the calmed down Marquis of Jibei, he actually hoped that this matter had nothing to do with him!
Otherwise, the Jiang family would not only lose two legitimate heirs, but also an in-law with the most promising future! At the same time, we are faced with the problem of re-selecting the commander of the Zhenxi Army!
Who would have too many talents like Qiu Jinglan, who can be a general when he comes out and a prime minister when he comes in
But if he was involved in the deaths of Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing, even if he was Qiu Yilan's brother, he would have to die!
If an outsider dares to attack a member of the Jiang family, he will be the only one to die. This is because the Jiang family is being lenient. There is nothing to bargain about, even if Qiu Yilan stands here with a big belly, it will be the same!
"Did Xiaoba really do it?" The Marquis of Jibei didn't know whether he should feel relieved or furious at this moment.
"Tianchi and his wife are far away in northern Xinjiang. Even if you escape from me for a while, how will you explain yourself when you return to Beijing?!" The Marquis of Jibei was very confused, "A good family is envied by many people. The branches and leaves are flourishing, and it has become like this before we know it... Is it true that we brothers don't know how to teach our children? "
