Chapter 103

"How can there be a Tuoluo on this antique satin?"

As soon as he said this, everyone around him looked at each other.

Ye Jia'er asked, "Lord Tang, what is Tuoluo?"

"Tuoluo is a kind of plant in the western regions," Jiang Li answered before Tang fan opened his mouth. "It blooms around the swamp and smells fragrant, but the petals of Tuoluo are poisonous. Someone once ground the petals of Tuoluo into powder to make poison, which was mixed into food and clothing. No one found that in the past, people will be poisoned."

Tang fan looked at Jiang Li in surprise and said after a while, "how does the second miss know so clearly?"

"I've seen the records of the western regions in my father's study, and I happen to have seen such records." Jiang Li laughed.

As the chief assistant of the current Dynasty, Jiang Yuanbai had a large collection of books in the mansion. It was reasonable to have such an isolated book. Tang Fan said, "I see. The second miss is really knowledgeable and has a strong memory."

Ye Rufeng and ye Jiaer looked at each other. Jiang Li was younger than them and seemed to know more than them.

"What Lord Tang means is that there are Tuoluo on the antique satin here?" Ye Mingyu asked.

"Yes," said Tang fan, "there is no doubt about it."

"Tuoluo petals contain fragrance, and antique satin has its own fragrance. Grinding Tuoluo petals into powder and mixing them in antique satin is not easy to be found. In this way, the reason why antique satin causes rash and even death on people is because of Tuoluo flower." Jiang Li Dao.

"The second young lady is right," Tang fan looked at ye Jia'er. "How can there be a Tuoluo in the antique satin of the Ye family?"

Ye Jia'er shook his head. "It's impossible, sir. For no reason, how can the Ye family ruin their reputation? Antique satin hasn't had a problem for so many years. If something happens suddenly, it must happen for a reason. But it will never be made by our Ye family."

Tang fan stared at her: "maybe it was the Ye family who accidentally mixed the tuoluohua into it when weaving?"

"This..." ye Jia'er hesitated for a moment, and then shook her head firmly. "My Lord, the Ye family's weaving field was personally inspected by my father and second uncle one by one. There can be no problem. If it is the Ye family's own internal problem, it will be found long before it leaves the weaving field. It is impossible to let the problematic cloth flow out."

Tang fan wanted to say something, so he heard Jiang Li on one side say, "Lord Tang."

If Tang fan is brave enough, he will not lose face, so he will make a posture of listening carefully.

Jiang Lidao: "As far as I know, Tuoluo flower grows in the marsh in the south of the western regions, which is too far away from Xiangyang. Xiangyang is not more crowded than Yanjing in the final analysis. The weaver girls in Ye's weaving factory have not been out of Xiangyang for many years, so they should not get Tuoluo. The same is true of other people in Xiangyang. You might as well check whether the merchants in and out of Xiangyang every year come from the western regions. If so, Tuoluo is most likely to flow out of his hands 。 Whether it is intended to target the Ye family or unintentionally sneak into the weaving field, this kind of exotic dangerous flowers and plants is not something you can usually see. "

Ye Mingyu smelled the words and said, "yes, this toil carrying Luohua should be a rare thing. It's the first time I've heard of this thing since I've traveled all year round. Ah Li, it's not cheap."

"The second little Tuoluo flower costs 100 Liang silver, and the better Tuoluo flower also has 1000 Liang silver. The more gorgeous the color of Tuoluo flower is, the stronger the aroma is, the more toxic it is, and the more valuable it is. Like the antique satin in question, it should be a thousand Liang silver that can poison people." Jiang Li looked at Tang fan, "Lord Tang, if you'll excuse me, a superior antique satin is only 500 liang of silver. He 'unintentionally' mixed a thousand liang of tuoluohua with a hundred liang of antique satin. Ordinary people are afraid it's difficult to do this. I think it's not too much to suspect that someone deliberately framed the Ye family to create this conspiracy."

She laughed, but her words weighed a lot. Tang fan frowned as she listened, and her heart became more and more heavy. What Jiang Li said is indeed possible, but if it is really a conspiracy, things will be big. It is not impossible for businessmen to chase each other for profits and stumble privately. But the Ye family is the first subsidiary of Beiyan. The whole Beiyan is the store of the Ye family. Those who dare to attack the Ye family are bound to have great courage. It is likely that some important people will be involved here. But the other Jiang family is supporting the Ye family again. It's impossible not to investigate this matter clearly, especially Miss Jiang er. Looking at a nice looking person, her brain is very clear, and it's impossible to fool her. It's clear that people have seen this matter clearly for a long time, waiting for someone to be the gunner to solve this matter.

Knowing that he was involved in a terrible trouble, Tang fan was a little depressed. After thinking about it, he felt that he could not protect himself this time. It's better to sell Miss Jiang er for a face if you have to admit guilt anyway. After all, the position of the Jiang family in the court has been stable for so many years, and the first auxiliary Jiang Yuanbai is a good man. He helped the Ye family this time. Jiang Yuanbai received this favor and will always say a few good words in the future.

Thinking about this, Tang fan immediately said, "what the second lady said is reasonable. It's really a big deal at this time. Although the investigation is not under the jurisdiction of the Zhishi order, the Zhishi order sent us to Xiangyang to thoroughly investigate this matter. The Ye family is also the first weaver of Beiyan. We will discuss with magistrate Tong and thoroughly investigate the people in Xiangyang who travel to and from the western regions from tomorrow."

"Will magistrate Tong agree?" Jiang Li frowned gently, a little embarrassed.

"Please don't worry, Miss Jiang," Tang Fan said. "This matter concerns the people of Xiangyang. It's also a dangerous thing to carry Luohua out. Magistrate Tong will promise." Tong Zhiyang is just a magistrate of Xiangyang in the end, but he is at least a person from Yanjing city. Tong Zhiyang is used to dominating the local area. He doesn't know how powerful Miss Jiang Er is. He knows very well that when the Jiang family was in full bloom, most of the court was Jiang Yuanbai's disciples. Now the Jiang family is a little cautious, but it doesn't mean it's declining and can't be offended.

"If so, please don." Jiang Li said with a smile, "I'll write to my father and tell him that everything is going well."

Tang fan was refreshed when he heard the speech, and his hesitation that he was afraid of getting involved in trouble was immediately swept away. Jiang Li's words almost guaranteed that he would speak well in front of Jiang Yuanbai. Maybe soon, his promotion path would be more smooth.

It's worth it.

Jiang Li saw the joy in Tang fan's eyes, and her heart sank. The officials in Yanjing city are used to climbing up by their skirts, even a small dispatcher under the manufacturing order is no exception. It's really much easier to have power, and I'm glad that she can use power with ease.

Tang fan and his party left with the problematic antique satins. As evidence, some of these antique satins will be brought back to Yanjing. The next step is to find out where the Tuoluo in Xiangyang City comes from. Jiang Li is not very worried about not finding anyone. The Ye family really doesn't need to destroy themselves. It's sooner or later to clear their grievances. In addition, Tang fan has now turned to Jiang Li's side, and Tong Zhiyang's outer room is pinched in his hand, so don't worry very much. However, the reputation of the Ye family has now been damaged nine times out of ten. In this way, even if the grievances are cleared, the Ye family cannot recover to its former glory.

Once bitten by a snake, people have been afraid of well ropes for ten years. People are afraid that antique satins will be deterred in the future.

When they returned to Ye's house with the Ye family, Guan and Zhuo were surprised after hearing the whole process. No one expected that a Tuoluo flower would suddenly appear.

"Who will harm our family?" Zhuo Shi didn't understand, "the Ye family has always been kind to others. When natural and man-made disasters happen, they still send people to give porridge. They have never made bad friends with others. Who would use such a vicious method to discredit the Ye family?"

"Maybe it's the fabric dealer nearby." Guan said, "the antique satin business is dominant, which inevitably makes people jealous."

"If you are really jealous, you don't have to choose this time." Jiang Li said, "the Ye family had a more prosperous business in the first two years. These years, they shelved other businesses and concentrated on weaving. If they wanted to deal with the Ye family, they started in the first two years. It happened that they chose Ye Biao when he just became an official..."

Everyone was surprised at this remark. Ye Mingyu looked at Jiang Li and said, "ah Li, you mean, someone wants to harm Shijie?"

Ye Shijie is the only man in the Ye family to become an official. The future of the Ye family depends on Ye Shijie. Everyone is serious.

"It's not to harm cousin ye," Jiang Li explained patiently. "Cousin Ye has just entered the official position and has won the attention of his majesty. His position is very important. Maybe someone wants to win over, maybe someone wants to suppress. If cousin Ye is alone, it's not easy to control his thoughts, but the Ye family is different. If someone wants to use cousin ye, starting from the Ye family is the most secure and beneficial way."

She thought about it and decided to tell these things to the Ye family. It's not good for the Ye family to know the enemy clearly and secretly. It's better to spread it out and let the Ye family be on guard, so that they can think of a different direction in the future.

Ye Mingyu patted the case and said, "what is this thing? Is it deliberately done by someone? Just to let our family contain Shijie?"

"Uncle Ming Yu, this is just my guess," Jiang Li shook her head. "I'm not very clear about the specific situation. After all, now we're in Xiangyang, but don't worry. Since the people behind us want to frame the Ye family, now the Ye family picks out a trap, and the other party doesn't succeed, it will naturally show its feet. When the time comes, follow the clues, and you can always see some clues."

"Cousin, does cousin know this?" Ye Jiaer asked.

"I know." Jiang Li said, "in my letter, in addition to asking him to write a letter to zhishiling, I also told him my guess. But cousin Shijie is now in Xiangyang. Even if someone wants to do something in his father's face, he dare not make it clear. Cousin Shijie is very smart and will weigh everything."

"Thank you." Ye Rufeng thanked hard and said, "but you let people name Jiang Shoufu. Jiang Shoufu knows, and there will be no problem?" He refused to call him uncle Jiang Yuanbai, who was born with the name of Jiang Shoufu. His heart is also very complex. He hates Jiang Yuanbai very much, but to be fair, this time if it was not for Jiang Yuanbai's name, things would definitely not be so simple. Tong Zhiyang will not have scruples, and Tang fan will not do so wholeheartedly.

"Don't worry." Jiang Li smiled, "after all, he is my father. He has become such a big official. Don't you waste such a name?"

Besides, this is just a small preview. After this, the Jiang family and Cheng Wang will eventually match.

She just let it come early.

……

The arrival of the Weaver's order dispatcher made the hearts of the Ye family a little comforted. The emergence of Tuoluo also provided a clear plan for the conduct of the case.

Three days later, ye Mingxuan and ye Mingyu were released.

The people brought by Tang fan thoroughly investigated the whole Ye family's weaving yard and found no trace of tuoluohua. All the weavers in the weaving field were checked and there was no doubt. Don't know how Tang fan negotiated with Tong Zhiyang, ye Mingxuan and ye Mingyu temporarily returned to Ye Fu.

The Ye family are very happy that the backbone of the family is back. Knowing that this is the result of Jiang Li's handling, even ye Minghui, who has always been cautious, finally opened his heart to Jiang Li.

Ye Minghui sighed, "ah Li, this time the Ye family is in trouble, thanks to you. I had a lot of consideration for you, but now it seems that I'm spending a gentleman's stomach with a villain's heart. Sorry." He actually made a long bow to Jiang Li and made an apology.

Jiang Li hurriedly leaned over, indicating that she didn't dare to accept it, and said with a smile, "Uncle Ming Yu's saying this would frighten ah Li. She is a family. If my mother was alive and knew that the Ye family was in trouble, she wouldn't stand idly by. At the beginning, I was young, and was bewitched by others, which hurt my grandmother and uncles. Now I want to come, I'm also very ashamed. Uncles are willing to give me a chance to make compensation, and I'm already very grateful."

She did not take credit, quietly mentioned Ye Zhenzhen, and then gently explained what happened that year. After all, where would the Ye family be estranged from her.

Ye Mingxuan said, "it's no wonder that you were young and not sensible at the beginning. Our uncle is not a child, but he has lived in vain for so many years and was provoked by the adulterer. He let you deal with the yuan family at a young age, and was also provoked by the woman..." he suddenly shut up for fear of touching the pain of Jiang Li. The Ye family thought simply. These days, Jiang Li is gentle and lovely. She is not the one who can kill her mother and her brother. She must have been framed by Ji shuran.

"Cough, cough, cough," Ye Mingyu waved his hand, worried about Jiang Li's sadness, and turned the conversation aside. "Anyway, it's always a good thing for the eldest brother and the second brother to return safely now. Let's celebrate it well. By the way, since you're back, when will you make arrangements for ah Li to meet his mother? After so long delay, is it time to do business?"

"Yes," Ye Jiaer remembered, "cousin should go to see grandma."

Jiang Li should have met old lady ye before ye Mingyu and ye Mingxuan were taken away by the Yamen. However, because of Tong Zhiyang's action, he did not dare to let Mrs. ye find the changes in the Ye family, so he shelved the matter for the time being. It's been so long since Jiang Li came back to Xiangyang. She didn't even see Mrs. Ye's face. It was the Ye family's intentional obstruction in front, and then it happened for a reason, but now think about it, I really feel guilty for Jiang Li.

Jiang Li hesitated, "now... Can grandma's body stand it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a kind voice came from behind the hall, saying, "who says I can't stand it? Good girl, let my grandmother see."

The crowd turned in surprise. Jiang Li looked back and saw that the curtain of the hall was lifted. Two servant girls helped a white haired old woman and staggered towards this end.

"Grandma!" Ye Rufeng shouted, "why did you come out?"

Jiang Li was stunned. This is Mrs. Ye.

Compared with the severity and haleness of Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Ye seems to be a lot more kind and old. With silver hair and a rosin green gem on her forehead, she stopped a few steps away from Jiang Li, looked at Jiang Li with a smile and shouted, "Nannan."

Jiang Li saw the tears in her eyes and her shaking hands.

Subconsciously, Jiang Li answered, called "grandma" and walked to Mrs. Ye.

When Mrs. ye saw Jiang Li, her eyes wandered for a moment, stretched out her hands full of surrounding people, held Jiang Li's hands, and stared at Jiang Li carefully, as if she wanted to see Jiang Li clearly. She said, "I'm so happy that a Li can still come to see me in my lifetime..."

Compared with Ye Minghui's vigilance and ye Mingxuan's prudence, old lady ye and ye Mingyu seem to have no barriers at all, even hotter than ye Mingyu. Jiang Li believes that at this moment, Mrs. Ye is indeed happy to see this long lost granddaughter.

"Grandma, don't you blame me for doing something wrong?" Jiang Li asked softly.

Old lady Ye was about to burst into tears when she laughed. She said, "how can it be? You are the granddaughter of our Ye family."

You are the granddaughter of our Ye family.

At this moment, Jiang Li's heart filled with sour and astringent feelings, and she almost couldn't help tears in her eyes, followed by satisfaction from the bottom of her heart. She didn't know whether it was due to the blood thicker than water relationship between the real Miss Jiang and Mr. Ye, but at this moment, what she saw from the old man's eyes was pure without any disguise.

Miss Jiang Er is not unloved. In addition to her dead biological mother Ye Zhenzhen, there is also a family member who misses her in the world. Finally, I'm not alone.

"Mom, why are you up?" Ye Mingxuan stepped forward quickly, looked at Jiang Li, then looked at old lady ye, hesitated for a moment, and said, "how did you know that ah Li came..."

Although old lady Ye was happy to see Jiang Li, it was not the first time she was surprised to see Jiang Li. Moreover, she came directly to the front hall and seemed to have known that Jiang Li would be here long ago.

Old lady Ye glanced at him and said, "I've known it for a long time. Since the first day ah Li came to Ye's house."

Everyone was stunned.

The servant girl beside Mrs. Ye whispered, "as soon as Miss Biao came back to Xiangyang, the old lady knew about it. For fear of disturbing Miss Biao, let the slaves not tell others about the second miss's return to the house. I thought I could meet Miss Biao in a few days, but I didn't think there was an accident with Ye's antique satin halfway."

This is unexpected.

But on second thought, it's true. When Mrs. Ye was young, she ran the Ye family's business with Mr. Ye. She can't really know nothing just because she is old. If there is anything about the Ye family, Mrs. Ye is naturally the first to know. Just in order not to embarrass Jiang Li, Sheng Sheng held back and waited for Jiang Li to be ready to meet him, but he didn't expect Ye Minghui and ye Mingxuan to be suddenly taken away.

"The old man wanted to find a friend to help save the eldest and the second, but ah Li took the initiative to stand up." Old lady Ye patted Jiang Li's hand, "I didn't expect that ah Li would have such a great skill. You are more capable and smart than your mother. Your mother is in heaven. Knowing that you are so smart now, she will be more gratified."

Jiang Li nodded. She did not expect that her every move to the Ye family had already been seen by the old lady Ye.

Ye Mingyu scratched his head: "Mom, we were still thinking about how ah Li would meet you. It's good for you to know everything, but you didn't tell it. The children were exhausted."

"If I don't pretend to be deaf and dumb, how can I see you so useless." Mrs. Ye sighed, "I told you earlier that a big tree catches the wind, and the prosperity of the Ye family will always cause trouble. Be wary. Who would have guessed that someone had taken advantage of it."

Jiang Li comforted: "grandma, this time, I really don't blame uncle Mingyu and uncle Mingxuan. They have done a good job. It's not so easy to hide from an arrow. This time, it's also a reminder for us. If we learn a lesson in the future, we will know how to do it."

Old lady Ye looked at Jiang Li, half relieved and half distressed. "Nannan, you can think of this at a young age. It can be seen that it's very difficult to live in the Jiang family. It's our Ye family who can't stand you. If I had been tougher and brought you back to Xiangyang, how could I have made you suffer so much injustice."

Jiang Li's wisdom is obvious to all, but it is also well known that Jiang Li was arrogant and capricious in those days. It must be forced by life to change from a arrogant little girl to a tactful and resourceful girl. Jiang Li and her stepmother and stepsister, and now Jiang Bingji, life will not be easy. Wisdom also needs to pay a price.

Jiang Li smiled and took Mrs. Ye's hand and said, "I haven't been wronged, and I've had a good time in the Jiang family."

Old lady Ye just took her hand and stopped talking. She just said, "no matter what, just come back."

She was happy for Jiang Li's return wholeheartedly. In the eyes of Mrs. ye, Jiang Li was just a naughty child. She had never really been angry with Jiang Li. No matter when Jiang Li came back, she would welcome her with a smile as in front of her eyes.

This is family.

Jiang Li's eyes were also wet. I don't know whether it was because of Mrs. Ye's tolerance or because she thought of herself.

If Xue Huaiyuan is still there, Xue Fangfei, who made the mistake of not knowing people clearly, should also be forgiven.

Unfortunately, Xue Fangfei's family and the people in the world who can forgive Xue Fangfei are gone. And she couldn't find a reason to forgive herself, so she had to go alone to punish her enemies and herself.

"Well," Jiang Li hid a little tears from the bottom of her eyes, and suddenly changed into a smile, saying, "I'm back.".

……

The Ye family has cleared up their past grievances after many years. They are happy and can't hide from their neighbors in the end.

In the black-and-white mansion near the Ye family, the guards squatted on the eaves, watching the boys in the flower bed dig hard and plant the flower seedlings one by one.

The Duke of the state of Su, Ji He, loves exotic flowers most. Even when he comes to Xiangyang, even if it is just a courtyard for rest, the servants will never neglect it. Xiangyang City is not as rich as Yanjing city in terms of materials. The shopping guys still go out early and return late to find some strange and beautiful flowers to plant in the yard.

Not to mention, the imperial palace is full of flowers. When they arrive at this empty house, the guards think there is something wrong. At present, when I planted the flowers and plants, I immediately felt much more pleasing to the eye, like a sulky breath in my heart, and was cheerfully called out in an instant.

"Old lady ye and Miss Jiang have met." Wen Ji said, "nothing special happened."

Nothing special happened, which means everything is going well.

Beside Ji Heng, Lu Ji asked, "can they get along well?"

"Very harmonious," Wenji said, "just like a family."

Lu Ji sighed and said, "it's not easy for Miss Jiang Er to let the Ye family treat her in such a short time."

The discord between Jiang Li and ye Jia at that time seemed simple, but it was not very easy to cross over. Especially after more than ten years, the misunderstanding will not disappear with the passage of time, especially if there was no result at the beginning. Instead, it will roll bigger and bigger like a snowball. In the end, it will be like an indestructible rock, let alone broken, and even hard to shake.

But Jiang Li did it.

"People who can share weal and woe in a critical moment are naturally touching." In front of the window, Ji Hu smiled needlessly. Although it was a compliment, it seemed to be sarcastic when he said it from his mouth.

"Yes, that's what makes Miss Jiang Er smart." Lu Ji nodded, "originally, the knot between the Ye family and her was difficult to untie, but the Ye family encountered difficulties this time. Fortunately, she was in the solution of the urgent need, stood up at such a critical time, and had the feeling of sharing the same boat. The Ye family would never give her a cold shoulder. And Miss Jiang Er is used to being a person, looking sincere, only afraid that the Ye family would have been bribed by her long ago."

Just, sighed: "how did she run into such an opportunity? It's luck."

"What luck," Ji Heng shook her fan, "she knew it would happen and waited for the beginning of the play early. These days, there are many people who move themselves."

Lu Ji was silent for a moment, and then said, "my Lord, the person who ordered the weaving room has arrived. Should we intervene in Xiangyang's affairs? At present, it seems that Tong Zhiyang is not a burden, and his outer room is held in the hands of Ye Mingyu. The Ye family is safe, and the situation may change."

"No." Ji Tao.

On a cloudy day, the peony on the folding fan seemed to be affected by the gloomy weather and looked dim. Only his red robe became a bright color between heaven and earth, standing still and bright.

"The kid of the Li family is embarrassed." Ji Xuan slowly said, "it's not as good as a little girl's ability. Li Lian can't get involved in the Ye family's affairs. As for whether he falls or not, let him ask for more luck." A strange color crossed his eyes, "it's the little girl of the yuan family... If it's not Jiang, it's good."
