The envoy of Ximin Guoqin left, but the turmoil left by the Qin Fighting Competition did not subside.
Long Er is not a nosy person, he only likes to take care of his family's affairs. So in his opinion, it doesn't matter who killed Shi Zechun. Shi Boyin's death means that the matter is over. The real culprit has found a scapegoat, and no one will pursue this matter again, and everything will return to peace.
But Qian Jiangyi, an idiot, didn't even look at his own weight if he wanted to show off. He claimed in such a high-profile way that this was an unjust case, which made the Ministry of Criminal Justice anxious and Ding Sheng angry.
If there was nothing wrong with the investigation back then, that's all. At most, Ding Sheng secretly troubled Qian Jiangyi's envoys for the sake of face, and did things that Qian Jiangyi regretted for the sake of standing up. But if there is really something hidden in this case, it's probably not just Qian Jiangyi who is in trouble, but all the relevant people who were involved in this case back then will be involved at this time - including Ju Muer.
Long Er scolded Qian Jiangyi a fool a hundred thousand times in his heart. But it was useless to scold him, and he had no choice but to find a way to solve the matter, and he must not let anyone's thoughts move on his Mu'er.
Long Er waited for ten days.
The past ten days have been peaceful, no one has moved swords, no one has had any surprises.
Qian Jiangyi hid at home behind closed doors, thinking about it, he was also scared.
He is afraid, and others are even more afraid.
None of the luthier friends he had made good friends visited his house for condolences, and even the violin teacher in his violin hall resigned from his job.
Ding Sheng didn't touch Qian Jiangyi, but instead sent someone to quietly visit the people he used to deal with. Long Fu's spies told Long Er all this. Long Er pondered for a long time, then called Chief Tie and asked him to take a long trip.
A month later, a wealthy businessman from Suilan city sent his manager to the capital, intending to pay a lot of money to hire Qian Jiangyi to teach piano in his piano hall.
Suilan City is far away from the capital, but it is a small and prosperous city. In the past, Qian Jiangyi would not have responded, after all, the capital is the place of fame and wealth. But now that he is in trouble, he is in constant anxiety, and someone brings money to him and provides him with a place to stay. This is undoubtedly a wonderful thing.
So Qian Jiangyi agreed, quickly packed his bags and set off with his family.
Manager Tie came back after investigating everything and reported: "It is true that someone is going to investigate the situation in Suilan City. However, the old slave followed the order of the second master and went around several circles to arrange it. No matter what, he will never find us. superior."
Long Er nodded, very satisfied.
That idiot Qian Jiangyi didn't dare to move, so he gave him a hand. The scourge is gone, which means that he will not make trouble again, and the Ministry of punishment has nothing to do. Everyone dispersed, no matter who is behind the scenes, this matter will die down.
Rather than passively waiting for things to happen, it is better to pre-empt them.
Long Er didn't intend to tell Ju Muer about this. He felt that Ju Muer was very well-behaved and peaceful now, and he didn't need to remind her of the stupid thing of complaining.
It's just that Long Er didn't expect that Ju Muer also had something to hide from him.
Just when Long Er was taking care of the business as usual, but secretly kicking Qian Jiangyi out of the capital, Ju Muer met someone at her side—Lin Yueyao.
Lin Yueyao appeared when Ju Muer accompanied Feng Wu and Baoer to the street.
At that time, a family of children was picking incense powder in the incense powder shop. Bao'er pestered Feng Wu to buy it too, and she said she would pick a box for Brother Qingsheng. Feng Wu told her that Qingsheng's brother is a man and doesn't use face powder, and Bao'er asked why.
Ju Muer was laughing while listening to Feng Wu and Baoer's long talk about why men don't use face powder, but at this moment she heard a familiar voice calling her: "Madam Long."
Ju Muer was taken aback for a moment, nodded slightly, and then leaned towards the voice as if nothing had happened. The person who spoke tugged at her sleeve and quietly led her to the other end of the shelf.
The two stood still, and Ju Muer called softly: "Miss Yueyao."
Lin Yueyao let out a "hush" and said, "Madam, please call me Xiaolan."
Ju Muer understood, nodded and said, "Miss Lan left her hometown, how are you doing now?"
Lin Yueyao said: "Long time no see, I have a lot to say to Madam, I just don't know when and where."
"I'll go back to my mother's house tomorrow. When the time is coming to an end, the girl can wait for me by the Houlin River."
Lin Yueyao agreed and left quickly.
On the second day, Ju Muer went back to the home wine shop.
Long Er has never been too strict about Ju Muer's return to her natal home. He has only two requirements. One is that if he goes back to the house for dinner, she must be there; second, she is not allowed to stay overnight at her natal home. As long as these two rules are not violated, Ju Muer is free to go back to see Father Ju whenever she wants.
Long Er has no demands on Ju Muer, nor does Ju Daddy. He even cleaned up the small courtyard where Ju Muer lived, and the house kept its original appearance, as if his daughter still lived at home.
This day, Long Er had a dinner party at noon, and since he was a businessman from out of town, he had made an appointment for a meal a few days earlier, so Ju Muer had already greeted Long Er, and she was going home to have lunch with her father that day.
Father Ju was elated. Some time ago, a sophomore from the wine shop got married and moved to a neighboring city to be his son-in-law. The wine shop lost one person and immediately became deserted. The daughter came, just to accompany him. He prepared good wine and good food, and planned to have a good chat with his daughter.
"Daughter, it's been half a year since I got married, why isn't there any movement in my stomach?" This is a key topic that Father Ju talks about every month.
"How can it be so fast?" This is Ju Muer's standard answer every month.
"How can this be so fast?" Father Ju was a little worried, "I'm not worried about anything else, but you are not in good health, and giving birth to a baby is not a small matter. The second master's family has a big business, so it must be important to this matter."
"Daddy is worrying too much. Second Master is very good to me. I eat and sleep well every day, so I am not in good health. It is not urgent. Second Master didn't say anything. Don't worry, Daddy."
Father Ju nodded: "Then you go back today and bring two jars of wine to Second Master."
Ju Muer laughed, if it really annoyed the second master, what's the use of two jars of wine
"Speaking of which, didn't dad always want to travel around and taste good wine?"
"That was when your mother was around. I promised your mother that I would take her there. After I had you, I thought that we would go when you grow up and get married."
Ju Muer pouted: "Anyway, I don't want to take me there."
Father Ju chuckled and patted his daughter's head: "It's a pity your mother left early."
"Mother is gone, and father won't go, will mother feel regretful?"
"Ah?" Papa Ju thought about it and scratched his head.
"Why don't you go now, Daddy. I'm married, and the second master treats me very well, so Daddy doesn't have to worry about it at all. Now that the liquor store doesn't have to worry about money, why don't you let Anang go out with you for a while while you're still strong?" Let's go. Didn't Daddy want to hand over the wine shop to Brother Anan? It's good to take him out to see him. When Daddy comes back, maybe I also have a little second master. Then I will bring the baby to visit Daddy often , then Dad has no chance to play around, so why not go now."
The more Ju Lao thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good. He was impatient, so he consulted Anan on the spot. Anan was overjoyed when he heard this. Father Ju went back to the house again, said a few words to Mu Erniang's memorial tablet, and then ran out: "Mu'er, Muer, I have agreed with your mother, I will take her. Anan, Anan, hurry up! Get ready, we don’t accept any new orders. We’ve finished delivering the wines we ordered in the past two days, so we’ll make arrangements. First go to Shiquanling, where the fruit spring wine is the most famous. Oh, I have to think about it Think, there are quite a few places I want to go."
Ju Muer laughed, and heard Anan and Ju Daddy happily discussing what kind of carriage to prepare, what luggage to bring, how to arrange the itinerary, where to stay, etc. Even Xiaozhu was excited, and kept making ideas from the sidelines.
In the afternoon, Ju Muer said she was going to take a nap. Xiao Zhu took a nap, went to Ju Mu'er's room to see that she was sleeping well, so she didn't dare to disturb her, so she went to the front hall to help Father Ju.
Ju Muer heard that there was no movement in the yard, so she got up quietly, went out along the back door, felt the tied guide rope, and walked to the small river in the back woods.
She often comes to this river. When she was a child, she and her father fished in this river, and then brought them home for her mother to cook delicious braised fish. She didn't like to imitate female red, mother wanted her to do some needlework, so she ran out and climbed a tree to hide. Looking at the river and the other side from the tree, the scenery is very beautiful.
Ju Muer sat on the big rock under the tree, thinking about the past, and yawned. It was really tiring to not sleep well in the afternoon.
She was dozing off in a daze, when she suddenly heard Lin Yueyao calling her. Ju Muer woke up suddenly and sat up straight.
Seeing her like this, Lin Yueyao covered her mouth and smiled: "I'm sorry, I scared Madam."
Ju Muer smiled awkwardly: "It's my fault, I always sleep too much."
The two exchanged a few gossips, and Lin Yueyao sat next to Ju Muer and said, "A while ago, I told my wife that I always felt that someone was staring at me, so I asked my wife not to contact me for now. I found out later that it was a One of Bai's drinking buddies. He wanted to tell me something, but he didn't dare to see me, so he always wandered around Xichuntang."
"What is he trying to tell you?"
Lin Yueyao let out a long sigh: "I have always believed that Yibai didn't fall into the water and drowned because he didn't drink when Yibai went out from me that day. But that drinking buddy told me that when Yibai came out to meet him that day, it was him who dragged him. The two of them were drunk and walked across the embankment, and he saw Yibai fall into the water with his own eyes, but he was in a daze and didn't dare to rescue him, and he didn't dare to call for help, because he owed Yibai a lot As for the money for the wine, his bad luck happened one after another at that time, he was afraid that others would think that he deliberately pushed him into the water, so he ran away."
Ju Muer lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Lin Yueyao went on to say: "He said that he woke up the next day and regretted it too much, but the thing had already happened, he didn't dare to say anything, and when the government judged that Yibai drowned after being drunk, it was an accident, so he let go In one breath. Later, he fled to other places to avoid debts, but he has always felt guilty about Yibai's death, struggled for two years, and finally wanted to tell me the truth."
Ju Muer asked softly, "Do you believe him?"
Lin Yueyao shook her head, her voice a little hoarse: "I don't want to believe it. But I know that he often drinks with Yibai. He can tell the clothes Yibai wore that day, and the music Yibai played with me that day, What they said. Because when they were drinking together, Yi Bai narrated these things with him. If Bai was killed when he left my place, how could he talk about these things with others?"
"So what he said must be true?"
"Ma'am." Lin Yueyao was a little at a loss, "I am full of desire to seek justice for Yibai. In the past two years, I have been unable to sleep at night, thinking about this matter all the time, but I never expected that the final fact would be like this. I suddenly , I don’t know what to do in the next day.”
"I can understand Miss Yueyao's feelings."
Lin Yueyao said again: "For the past two years, I have been bothering Madam to find clues with me, but I didn't expect this result in the end. I am so sorry Madam."
"Where, I have also benefited a lot in the past two years."
"I heard from the guests in the building that it is true that the piano score is a martial arts secret book. Right now, there is already a fight in the world over this piano score. It is said that someone has seen the piano score."
"Is that so, does that mean that the real culprit took away the piano score, but then pretended to burn it, making everyone think that the piano score was lost?"
Lin Yueyao said: "I'm not sure about the specific inside story, I just heard that it is so."
"The news in this building is really well-informed."
"There are all kinds of guests. After a few cups of yellow soup, you dare to say anything. You are really well-informed."
Ju Mu'er was silent for a moment, and said, "Girl, because the cause of Brother Yibai's death has been revealed and his mind has been settled, so have you decided to go home?"
"Madam is indeed smart. When Yibai was here, I already had the idea of living a good life with him. It's just that he is a wild and unrestrained person. Although he is very kind to me, he may not have the peace of mind to be with me. So I hesitated for a long time. , I didn’t expect that I didn’t say my heart in the end, and it’s been forever. Now that I heard about his death, I don’t know how to live in the future. I’m tired of these days of laughing, and it’s because of Bai Bai. Today. That day I heard the truth and stayed up all night. I decided, I want to escape, and I can no longer live the same life as before.”
"Then what are your plans for the future?"
"I have lost my relatives a long time ago, and I lied to them by saying that I would go back to my hometown. I haven't figured out what to do. I have been hiding for so many days, and I am afraid of being caught by them, but I really have nowhere to go. Anyway, I have to come and tell Madam first, thanks to Madam for the past two years, otherwise I really couldn’t hold on."
"Girl, there is a small wooden house not far from my house. It is a place where I used to practice piano quietly. Although it is simple, it can be hidden. Now the Xichun Hall has reported to the officials to search for the girl everywhere. The girl might as well live there for a few days and wait for the rumors." How about making plans in the past?"
Lin Yueyao was overjoyed: "If Madam takes me in, I will be very grateful."
"You don't need to thank me, it's just that the place is crude, and the girl feels wronged. But it's good enough to hide, no one will know, it's a good place to hide."
Thanks a lot to Lin Yueyao, she settled down here.
That night, Ju Muer seemed a little preoccupied. Long Er asked what was going on, she said her father was going on a long trip. Long Er laughed at her, but told her that he had negotiated a big deal and would go on a long trip in two days.
The lingering relationship between Ju Muer and Long Er that night was particularly enthusiastic, and Long Er was in full bloom.
It's humane to love her, but he hasn't started to say goodbye yet, and the love has increased. It seems that he has to say goodbye to her from time to time.
On the tenth day of June, Father Ju took his buddy Anan, holding Mu Erniang's tablet, and set off in a large carriage presented by his son-in-law, Erye Long, to start his wine tasting journey.
On the second day, Long Er also stepped on the steed and went out with his guards.
That day Ju Muer locked herself in the house and played the piano all day. At night, the pillow is stained with tears.
Ding Yanshan is convinced that Yun Qingxian is the person behind the scenes who ordered the robbers to kidnap her. After thinking about it, she felt that he was the only person who had the ability to mobilize people, know her whereabouts, keep it from everyone, and wouldn't care too much about her life or death.
In her opinion, Yun Qingxian is the kind of person who climbs the dragon and attaches himself to the phoenix. The way he looked at his sister was the same as his father looked at his mother, maybe a little more gentle, but equally calm.
Ding Yanshan felt that it was a kind of terrifying calmness. It was completely different from the way her sister looked at Yun Qingxian. She could see love and attachment in her sister's eyes, but there was nothing in Yun Qingxian's eyes. She did not understand how her sister could delude herself into thinking she was happy.
Ding Yanshan lived in her sister's house for a period of time. She wanted to find out Yun Qingxian's flaws and find evidence that he was the person behind the scenes, but after nearly a month, she didn't find any useful clues. On the contrary, during these days, the two sisters got along day and night, as if they were back in the past when Ding Yanxiang was not married, and the sisters became closer.
Ding Yanshan saw her sister's feelings for Yun Qingxian in her eyes, she felt that her sister seemed to be hiding something from her, whenever she showed dissatisfaction with Yun Qingxian, her sister hesitated to speak.
On this day, Ding Yanxiang talked to her younger sister and persuaded Ding Yanshan to go home.
"But I want to live with my sister, so let me stay for a few more days. I don't want to see the faces of those aunts in the house. My mother talks all day long, and I can't talk to her. Only My sister is good to me, I don't want to go back."
Ding Yanxiang stroked her head, and said softly: "Silly girl, your parents love you the most, how sad it is for you to think of them like this. You are an unmarried girl, and you are always living at your brother-in-law's house, what's the matter, parents I can't justify my face. I saw you were in a bad mood a few days ago, and I couldn't persuade you. But this is not the way to go. I went back to my parents two days ago, and the boss is not happy."
"Anyway, I don't want to go back, I want to live with my sister."
Ding Yanxiang sighed: "Shan'er, my sister is also very happy to be with you, but what about my parents? You don't think about them, but also think about your sister. You also know that your parents have always loved you more, you come here I live here, and I don’t want to go back, they must have thought I was instigating it. I went home, and my mother didn’t see you, she already made a face to me.” When she said this, she hesitated for a moment, as if swallowing the words I went back and didn't say any more.
Ding Yanshan lowered her head, knowing that her mother must have said nothing pleasant. Ever since she was a child, her parents really doted on her more. She only wanted to find out the person who harmed her, but she did not consider her sister's position.
Ding Yanxiang said again: "Is this good? If you feel that no one will accompany you when you go home, I will accompany you to stay for a few days. When you feel better, I will come back again?"
Ding Yanshan raised her head in surprise. She was an unmarried girl who ran to her brother-in-law's house to gossip, and her sister, a married woman, would even cause gossip when she returned to her mother's house. She was really moved by her sister's doing this for her.
Ding Yanshan didn't dare to be willful anymore, so she nodded in agreement.
Ding Yanshan was listless after returning home. She knew that it would be difficult for her to go to her sister's house to find clues, but seeing Ding Yanxiang's deep affection for Yun Qingxian, she dared not tell her sister what she was thinking.
Ding Yanshan wandered around the mansion, thinking wildly. My sister is going home tomorrow, and she suddenly doesn't know how to face her, and there is nowhere to complain about her heart, it's really frustrating.
While walking around, out of the corner of his eye, he saw two people dressed as guards walking towards the backyard. Ding Yanshan ignored them and continued to walk forward. After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped.
The figures and appearances of the two people flashed in their minds, as if they had known each other before, as if they had seen each other before.
Ding Yanshan was shocked.
Come to think of it, it's a mysterious man pretending to be a policeman!
Ding Yanshan quickly turned around. But those two were gone.
Ding Yanshan ran a few steps quickly, but she was afraid of being discovered, so she was nervous and careful. She chased for a while, and finally saw the figures of those two people. Ding Yanshan quickly hid behind the bushes and hid herself.
There was no one in the backyard, and the two of them were unprepared. They walked all the way and talked about something. Ding Yanshan's heart was beating violently, she followed them a few steps cautiously, and heard their voices.
"Where should we go? The money your lord gave won't last long."
"Anyway, we have to leave the capital. My lord said, we can come back when the limelight passes, I believe it won't be long. You don't go to the flower house to drink, this money is enough."
"I don't worry. He can even bet on his daughter. We pawns, will we really let us come and go? He can let us kill others, and of course he can let others kill us."
"Shh, don't be stupid. Just be obedient and stay out of trouble. Let's get out of here first."
The two of them quickly left through the back door of the Ding Mansion while talking. Ding Yanshan's legs felt weak and her heart was beating like a drum. She leaned against the tree and couldn't move.
It turned out to be daddy!
Ding Yanshan couldn't believe it, even if she heard it with her own ears, she still couldn't believe it.
