Among the suspects Jiang Yashuang suspected of murdering his wife, Ms. Lin had the lowest status. Although she was a confidant of the Empress Dowager Jiang, a slave who made the decision without telling her, and her natal relatives who relied on her, who should she choose? Clear!
In particular, Ms. Lin was not wronged. Jiang Yashuang personally told the Empress Dowager Jiang: "The reason why it was the eldest prince who was thrown into the lake instead of An'er or Lang'er is not because Fang Zijun didn't catch up with the two brothers in time. It's just that The reason why I was able to hold the eldest prince on the throne must be because everyone knows that among the great-grandsons, An'er and Lang'er are the most important to my grandfather! If anything happens to them, my grandfather will be furious and will investigate them thoroughly no matter what!"
Originally, Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang were highly expected by the Duke of Qin due to their outstanding performance as elders. Their eagerness to learn at a young age, and the fact that Jiang Yashuang had to find time to give personal guidance despite her busy schedule—the Duke of Qin had long given up on the expectations of the great-grandchildren of the Jiang family. It's on them. If something happens to these two little brothers, what can't the Duke of Qin do in his anger
With the great victory in northern Xinjiang, the Zhenbei Army can basically free up its hands; with the great victory in western Xinjiang, Qiu Jinglan, who has a close relationship with the Jiang family, is in the spotlight - what should the Jiang family be afraid of at this juncture? !
In comparison, the prince is not that valuable... At least in the eyes of Duke Qin, he is definitely not as valuable as the great-grandson whom he has high hopes for!
"The eldest prince is also an eyesore to many people." The Queen Mother knew and acquiesced to what happened with Niguang back then. She also knew that Miss Lin was indeed suspicious, but she had been a master and servant for many years and wanted to defend her confidant, "Nineteenth, you think, the palace We just added a second prince..."
However, Jiang Yashuang interrupted with a sneer: "Four aunt, the Queen is not here now. My nephew will tell you the truth: You said that if the sachet that Lan Lan gave to An'er and Lang'er to play with was not thrown by the lake, Lan Lan would Knowing that she was pregnant, would she rush into the water to save someone? This matter seemed to be directed at the eldest prince and Lan Lan, but in the end, it was only Lan Lan who was involved! It was just to confuse the situation! That’s all!”
"If my nephew hadn't arrived in time, with the speed of the rescue efforts of the eighteenth sister and the fourteenth sister-in-law..."
Empress Dowager Jiang had nothing to say, so she could only settle for the next best thing: "I really don't know about this! Otherwise, how could someone harm your wife and children?" Qiu Yilan had never disobeyed her in the past two years. , and she had children and raised children, and her position was stable. Why did Empress Dowager Jiang provoke her when she had nothing to do
"My nephew knows." Jiang Yashuang said lightly, "But Miss Lin..."
"You can do whatever you want with this vicious bitch!" The Empress Dowager's words determined the fate of Concubine Lin and the entire Lin family - if it weren't for the reputation of the Empress Dowager, Concubine Lin wouldn't even have suffered an "innocent and tragic death"!
After her two brothers were imprisoned, they accused each other and exposed many things that the Lin family had done over the years. They were born in the Jiang family, and the whole family worked for the Jiang family. The things exposed were the same as those of the Jiang family. Of course, home is not irrelevant.
The person responsible for this matter was Jiang Yashuang's confidant, but after hearing a few things, he felt that it was too much, so he had his mouth gagged and put under strict supervision. He quietly went to ask for instructions at night: "If the interrogation continues, I am afraid that everyone below the old lady will be embarrassed." It doesn’t look good!”
There are many secret things in our family, and the Jiang family's family tradition is not strict, so there are even more messy things! Even if this person is a confidant, he will inevitably be silenced if he hears too much.
Jiang Yashuang simply did not embarrass him: "That's almost enough. Just pick a few who can speak out and have evidence to pronounce the verdict."
A confidant mused: "There are several children in this family who are too young to be sentenced..."
"How can the Fang Zijun incident happen again?" Jiang Yashuang glanced at him with deep meaning - knowingly: "I understand!"
The Lin family is destined to disappear.
Jiang Yashuang was a little undecided about her next target.
Emperor, concubine.
All are suspected.
The former wanted to use Qiu Yilan's death to drive a wedge between Qiu Jinglan and the Jiang family, so as to achieve the goal of being in the middle to provide checks and balances and truly dominate the world - this was confirmed by Queen Mother Ye's people with records several feet high over the years;
The latter neither pleases the queen mother nor is close to the emperor. Even if he gives birth to a prince, he is at a disadvantage. But if he can secretly kill the eldest prince and frame Qiu Yilan's death on the emperor - then Jiang Yashuang's temper will definitely not Because of his status as emperor, he gave up revenge for his wife and unborn child!
And the emperor and the eldest prince are both dead. No matter whether the queen mother likes it or not, the queen is happy or not, if the son of the noble concubine does not ascend the throne, who else will ascend the throne? !
This is completely a desperate counter-attack plan!
Therefore, both of them are suspected in Jiang Yashuang's eyes and cannot be let go. The problem is that there is a more difficult part now. He, Su He and others have not told Qiu Yilan: Although the eldest prince was caught in time, He was rescued, so he didn't die, but he was still seriously ill!
After all, the child, who is only five years old, has been pampered and has never suffered. Once again, he was thrown into the winter lake after playing all sweat... Chu Shao started to have a fever on the first day of the first lunar month, and the fever did not go away for three consecutive days. The imperial doctor tried almost all methods before letting him start to reduce the fever on the fourth day. !
But it started to repeat again on the sixth day... According to Jiang Yashuang's knowledge, the imperial doctor is still stationed in the side hall of Beique Hall and dare not leave! The Queen Mother has already withdrawn the punishment she received during her summer vacation last year, and ordered Mrs. E Guoguo and Mrs. Zhao to come into the palace to help take care of him, lest the Queen, who refused to leave her son's hospital bed, could no longer support him!
If you choose the emperor as the next target of revenge, it won't be difficult. But a country cannot live without a king for a day - as the eldest prince, Chu Shao is still not out of danger. If something goes wrong, the new king will definitely be the second prince who has not yet been named!
Of course, the second prince is still young, and now that he has ascended the throne, he cannot do anything for his biological mother and her family. In the future, as long as he is not raised in the hands of a noble concubine, whether he is willing to get close to the Jiang family's big house is still a question!
But when it comes to the Jiang family's big house - this is Jiang Yashuang's fear of choosing the imperial concubine: Autumn Wind!
The eldest family member of the Jiang family holds Qiu Feng's life experience in his hands. This was originally a retreat prepared by Duke Qin for the Jiang family - but now it has become a bargaining chip for the eldest family member and the fourth family member to negotiate conditions.
Jiang Yashuang feels sorry for his wife, but he doesn't want his sister's good family to be broken up. Qiu Feng's character and behavior are destined to end in tragedy if he is involved!
This is definitely not what Jiang Yashuang wants to see.
Furthermore, he didn't want Qin Guogong to get into trouble due to internal fighting in his final years.
"Young Master, Mu Zixuan is back!" Jiang Yashuang was thinking about the best solution when Jiang Shan suddenly walked in quietly. After giving a salute, he reported a piece of news that surprised him. He couldn't help but put down his pen: "Hurry up. pass!"
... Last year, he sent Mu Zixuan to Northern Xinjiang through Lu He to inquire about information, and he was prepared that Mu Zixuan would have a hard time getting out after he left - after all, Northern Xinjiang was the place where his father Jiang Tianchi had been running for many years, even if Mu Zixuan He was also from Northern Xinjiang, where he had many relatives and friends, but it was impossible to hide this from Jiang Tianchi!
However, he was also sure that Jiang Tianchi would not kill Mu Zixuan easily, so he safely sent his disciple, his cousin, to go.
As expected, Mu Zixuan left and never came back - Jiang Yashuang thought he would be brought back with Jiang Tianchi when he returned to Beijing, but she didn't expect him to return suddenly at this juncture...
"How was your trip?" Seeing the tired Mu Zixuan striding in, Jiang Yashuang signaled him to excuse himself, offered him a seat, and ordered Jiang Shan to make tea.
"Go back to the young master, there are indeed some changes in Northern Xinjiang!" Mu Zixuan took the tea and thanked him, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp - although he was not of high origin, he had been with the Jiang family and his son for many years, so he was by no means ignorant of etiquette. He was obviously really thirsty when he did this. Jiang Shan poured him eight cups of tea before he put the bowl down.
But he didn't answer Jiang Yashuang's question, but looked at Jiang Shan.
After the latter wisely went out to guard the door, he got up from his seat and leaned beside Jiang Yashuang's desk. Fang whispered, "Uncle Jing's family will probably retire in the near future and return to the capital for a long time! Now!" The general he promoted was Yao Lun!"
Jiang Yashuang nodded silently and asked lightly: "How did my father arrange for my sixteenth brother?"
Mu Zixuan opened his mouth, looked at his expression that seemed to have been expected, and sighed silently: "Four months ago, the general appointed the 16th Young Master as General Mingwei. He was afraid that the 16th Young Master was young and had insufficient merit, so he would not be able to suppress it. To live up to the occasion, three hundred personal guards and assistants were allocated... In addition, Yao Lun and the Sixteenth Young Master got married, so now... "
"Brother Sixteen has established a firm foothold in the Zhenbei Army, right?" Jiang Yashuang said thoughtfully, "I remember that Brother Sixteen's eldest son was named 'Gui' by his father. He loved him very much. Unknown Can you always be at your father’s knees?”
"Although Yuxue is cute, the 18th grandson is very busy with military affairs. Apart from hugging him for a while at the full moon banquet and giving him a name, he has never been summoned again since then!" Mu Zixuan lowered his head and cautiously said After careful consideration of his words, he said, "Sir, although the General is somewhat flattering to the Sixteenth Young Master now, but... before my subordinates came back this time, the General was also very concerned about the Young Master!"
"By the way, you haven't said anything yet, why did you come back here?" Jiang Yashuang asked calmly, ignoring his relief.
Mu Zixuan looked like he didn't know what to say: "After my subordinate arrived in Northern Xinjiang, he was summoned by the general - but without asking any questions, he asked him to reorganize himself into the personal guard! I originally wanted to I was looking for someone to send a message to the Young Master, but the people I found were all reluctant... Remembering that the Young Master had told me before that if anything goes wrong when you go there, just let it take its course... "
He returned to his old job and worked as a personal guard for these months. Not long ago, Jiang Tianchi summoned him again and asked him to come back and report to Jiang Yashuang. He packed up and came. As for the fight between father and son, What a riddle, he was still confused after thinking about it over and over again!
At this moment, he saw Jiang Yashuang caressing the jade on the desk with a complicated expression. He wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask. While he was in a dilemma, he heard Jiang Yashuang say: "Thank you for your hard work. Please go back and freshen up first. I'll let you know in the afternoon." He'er goes back to talk to you... Oh, you can go directly to He'er's house, which was given by his grandfather when he congratulated him on their engagement. It's not far from here. After you go out, just ask Jiang Shan to find someone to guide you there! There are some servants here, and hot water and rice are all ready.”
Mu Zixuan was detained by Jiang Tianchi during this period and had no idea what happened in Beijing after he left. When he heard that his cousin was engaged and had his own house, he was overjoyed: "Thank you, Mr. Master! Thank you, Madam, for taking care of me!" Thank you for your grace!”
He immediately put aside the matter of Jiang Tianchi and his son, and happily went out to inquire about the background and temperament of his future cousin-in-law. In the room, Jiang Yashuang stared at Ruyi on the case for a long time, and smiled "ha" with a cold smile. And laugh at yourself!
