Qiu Yilan went out to the flower hall and exchanged greetings with Mrs. Shi and He Shuijin. Sure enough, they were here to explain Wang Qingqian's matter: "We are all sisters-in-law. Now that I'm here, I won't go around in circles! My natal sister was here earlier. I’m really disappointed that I couldn’t choose the princess!”
Mrs. Shi was mentally prepared when she came today. She was here to plead guilty, and wasting time by talking around would be more embarrassing for her. So He Shuijin hinted that Qiu Yilan was done with it, so she simply said, " I was confused at that time and I did think about embarrassing Miss Wang and venting my anger! But this time, Miss Wang’s matter was really not caused by me or the Shi family!”
He Shuijin also chimed in: "Sixth sister-in-law has always been a straightforward person, and she won't be wrong if she says no. I can vouch for this!" She must have investigated and confirmed it before she dared to say this.
Qiu Yilan was surprised in her heart: "So it's really not the third bedroom? Is it the first bedroom?" She didn't know the truth or what her husband planned to use this matter to do, so she said vaguely: "Two sisters-in-law Having said that, I naturally believe it.”
He Shuijin heard that these words were a bit insincere, and felt really helpless. He suggested that Mrs. Shi would find an excuse to leave first, and he stayed and said heartfelt words to Qiu Yilan: "Sister-in-law Six is really innocent this time. If there are any clues to the Third room, I’m afraid it’s the big room that did it—I’m not speaking for the third room, there is evidence!”
Qiu Yilan frowned: "Evidence?"
"Aren't those people who ruined Miss Wang's reputation at the door of the Lian Mansion come from Jiangnan?" He Shuijin had personally instigated the relationship between Shi and Qiu Yilan, but at that time the third room and the There was no conflict between the four houses, and the fight between Qiu Yilan and Shi was just a trivial matter in the backyard. Qiu Yilan could use Qiu Yilan's help to suppress Shi, the eldest daughter-in-law of the third house.
Unfortunately, the situation is different now. The third and fourth bedrooms are facing each other, and there is also a big bedroom. If the third bedroom becomes the first target of the fourth bedroom because of Shi's place, it will be very bad!
How could someone as knowledgeable as Shui Jin sit back and watch the third room suffer such a loss? Since she brought Mr. Shi here today, she is naturally confident enough to explain clearly.
Immediately, he told the whole story, "Last year, there was a message from Kui County that my great-aunt fell ill. My uncle sent his eldest brother and Xu'er back to visit and take care of her! At that time, they brought a group of people, including Take this opportunity to visit Jiangnan!"
Qiu Yilan was a little surprised: "Sister-in-law Fourteen knows so well!"
"Jiangnan is rich, so there are many shops there." He Shuijin did not hide that the third room had been monitoring the big room for a long time - which also meant that the third room could also monitor the fourth room - and said calmly, "And the big room might be in order to The person sent is guaranteed to be loyal, so he is a close confidant, so he will be recognized soon after arriving in Jiangnan!"
"Then why didn't you say anything before?"
"How could I have thought that it had something to do with Miss Wang's matter before?" He Shuijin pursed his lips, "I also thought that Dafang wanted to win over someone from Jiangnan! Later I heard that the person who slandered Miss Wang's reputation was from Jiangnan. I remembered it! But my words are unfounded, so I have to collect some evidence to show you, right? Now that I have the evidence, I brought Sixth Sister over!"
What she said was reasonable, but Qiu Yilan saw at a glance that she was killing two birds with one stone: not only did she clear the suspicion of the third house in front of the fourth house, but she also wanted to use the fourth house's help to attack the big house!
Thinking that Jiang Yashuang had told her to just let it go, Qiu Yilan smiled lightly and said, "What did Sister-in-law Fourteen say? How could we not believe what you said?"
"Anyway, the evidence is here." He Shuijin realized that she was not sincere in her words. He sighed inwardly, left a volume of books, and left.
"I didn't expect my mother to be so intimidated!" When Qiu Yilan picked up the book and returned to the back, Jiang Yashuang had already returned from the study. She handed the book over and talked about the experience in the flower hall, sighing, "Although Sister-in-law Fourteen kept saying it was Because I finally found all the evidence, I came to explain with my sixth sister-in-law, but I think they are actually afraid of their mother!"
Jiang Yashuang smiled calmly: "Of course. My grandmother said in the early years that all the female relatives in the family are not afraid of our mother!"
That's right, even Dou doesn't care about it, so why should other people talk about it
"She said that Cousin Wang's matter was done by Dafang, and she brought evidence. It seems to be true." Qiu Yilan brushed her hair, leaned over and asked, "Really?"
"You can say that!" Jiang Yashuang picked up the book and flipped through it. It contained a very detailed record of the time when a family named Jiang Shun in Dafang gave birth to a son, and when Jiang Yayun and Jiang Jingxu returned to Kui County to attend to the illness. During this period, he sneaked to Jiangnan and stayed for a period of time. Many of the time and places can be consistent with the appearance of the rookies who were used as swords.
Although he said that he had never met those rookies... but the person who directly set a trap for those rookies was dead, right
It seems that Dafang really has something to do with it!
However, Qiu Yilan thought about her husband's words carefully and was slightly surprised: "You mean... over there in Kui County?"
"Not bad!" Jiang Yashuang nodded and said calmly, "Although this Jiang Shun is indeed from Dafang, and he is also an old man who was brought from Kui County back then, it seems that it was all done by our uncle again. Together, we seemed to want to frame the Third Fang! But in fact, this was impossible - when Jiang Shun followed his eldest brother and Xu'er back to Kui County, the First Fang's thoughts were all focused on his great-aunt's safety. Why? Maybe you’re so leisurely that you can do something as trivial as Cousin Wang’s?”
Wang Qingqian's reputation was slandered - in the Jiang family's view, even if it succeeded, let alone failure, it was not worth mentioning.
Faced with the threat that the entire big house would lose their jobs, no matter how stingy Jiang Tianao was, he would not set her up!
Moreover, if Jiang Tianao came to set up Wang Qingqian, why would he go to Jiangnan for a trip? Directly find two people who are related to the Shi family to come forward. After all, it is the Shi family who killed him - this is much more reliable than tricking a rookie from Jiangnan!
"Could it be that this is why my great-aunt claimed to be ill?" Qiu Yilan thought thoughtfully, "It seems that my second uncle and fifth uncle are not allowed to serve as officials, and my great-aunt is very unwilling to do so!"
Jiang Yashuang said lightly: "Regardless of whether you are willing to give in or not, do you think that my uncle was supported by his grandfather and uncle to the position he is today? The future futures of the eldest brother, second brother, eleventh brother and Xu'er are unknown! But the second uncle's future is uncertain! What about Uncle Wu? Now the elders are here. Although they are not allowed to serve in Sangzi, at least they have good food and clothing, and no one dares to embarrass them..."
From now on, the three brothers, Kui County Man, Qin Guogong, and Jibei Hou, are no longer here. Considering Jiang Tianao's grudge against his stepmother, Mrs. Han, it would be strange not to show mercy to these two brothers!
Even if he is magnanimous and does not clean up the second and fifth houses, as long as he shows dissatisfaction, how can the two brothers live a good life
He didn't even need to show his dissatisfaction, he only had to say that he didn't care about the two younger brothers, and the second and fifth houses were finished. Without the protection of the corresponding powers, the property accumulated by the Jiang family over the years was a life-threatening talisman!
"With the uncle's temperament, it's no wonder that my great-aunt wanted to plot against him!" Qiu Yilan sneered and said thoughtfully, "However, although the fourteenth sister-in-law brought evidence pointing to the uncle, the evidence was very unexamined. Ah! After a little thought, you can see that it was the slander from my great-aunt... Moreover, I remember that you had noticed it before, but those who went to make a fuss in front of the Lian Mansion confessed? "
How many rookies can survive the torture
Jiang Yashuang said: "So I didn't say anything."
Qiu Yilan asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"
"Since my great-aunt is worried about this, it's right for me as my great-nephew to help her." Jiang Yashuang smiled, "Of course, it's right for me as a junior to relieve my elders' worries; as an elder, my great-aunt feels sorry for me, a junior, too. That’s right, isn’t it?”
"As long as you have an idea!" Qiu Yilan felt relieved when she saw that he was determined. She frowned, "I haven't had a letter from my brother for a long time. There must be a mess in Shazhou now... I hope our brothers and sisters Everything is fine with us!”
In fact, Shazhou is not as chaotic as she thought.
Mainly because the deaths of Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing scared everyone in Shazhou, including the Zhenxi Army!
Moreover, the Marquis of Jibei even rushed to Shazhou in person! ! !
The reputation of this old general is like thunder even to the Zhenxi Army, which has been competing with the Zhenbei Army! When I heard that he had arrived, even if no one came to the Zhenxi Army, the scene was immediately suppressed!
Under this situation, whether it was Han Jishan, who was temporarily acting as the commander-in-chief of the Zhenxi Army, or Huang Si, the miserable new governor of Shazhou, they put all their little thoughts aside and devoted 100,000 energy to restraining their subordinates and handling official duties, lest one of them would fail. Be careful of being used as a punching bag by the angry old general...
Therefore, there was a scene of clear sea, river and river in Shazhou.
However, the Marquis of Jibei was not in the mood to pay attention to this situation—especially since the situation was actually caused by the death of his two grandnephews—what he was most concerned about and troubled with at the moment was the aftermath of the deaths of Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing!
"Xiao Ba insisted that he killed the person, took out the medicine, and had a reasonable explanation." The old general sat in the tent and said to his confidants numbly, "If he doesn't let go, it may be useless to pursue it any further. , after all, he is our child. He is probably not as strong as me after all these years of indulging in drinking and sex. I can’t handle manual punishment... Do you think this is the end of the matter? "
"If the case is closed in this way, the Suppressing West Army will be handed over to Qiu Jinglan. With the Nineteenth Young Lady here, there is no need to worry about him crossing the river and burning down the bridge!" The confidants looked at each other and gave their opinions softly, "In this way, Xijiang can start Adjustment and stability, but among the houses in Beijing..."
"But if the case is not closed in this way, the hatred between the houses in the capital will still be unresolved, especially when the Nineteenth Young Lady is pregnant and she only has one brother, Qiu Jinglan. Qiu Jinglan's mistakes will be engraved in Su's heart! I heard that the Nineteenth Young Master loves his wife... The most important thing is to suppress the Western Army. Western Xinjiang is not a peaceful place. Han Jishan will not be able to stay in that position for too long regardless of his ability or age! If there is another fight, I am afraid that the vitality of the Western Army will be destroyed! Just..."
Hearing the thoughts of their confidants, everyone believed that the real culprit was definitely Qiu Jinglan, and Jiang Yadan was just taking the blame for him, but for the sake of the overall situation, it was better to pretend to be confused.
This is what many confidants have dared to say for many years. Otherwise, who would dare to hint to the Marquis of Jibei when Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing have not yet been buried: If your great-nephew dies, he will die. Let’s put the overall situation first. !
"But how will Xiaoba explain to the first and third rooms after returning to Beijing?" The Marquis of Jibei was silent for a moment and asked.
Two grandnephews had already died, and he really didn't want any more juniors to die.
"Now the capital knows nothing, or we can blame it on other people, and only tell the Duke that the Eighth Young Master is the murderer." The confidants discussed for a while and put forward this suggestion, "The martial arts of the Second Young Master and the Sixth Young Master are both Above the Eighth Young Master, under normal circumstances, who would believe that the Eighth Young Master killed them? As long as they find a suitable scapegoat... they can divert the anger of the First Fang and the Third Fang! At the same time, the Fourth Fang knows the reason and can also make them come forward! Compensating the big brother and the third brother, of course, it is said that the fourth brother is a brother-in-law, so the relationship between the third brother and the third brother can be eased!
The Marquis of Jibei thought for a while and asked: "So, who is the most suitable scapegoat?"
