Liaozhou.
In the main hall of the Jian Mansion, Jian Li Miao looked at the post in his hand and slightly related, “Uncle Shouchun and Servant Qiu?”
Qiu Shuxia had no official position after he had been appointed to his post, and this time, because he was to be made a minister of the Imperial Household, he was temporarily appointed to the post of minister of the Ministry of Justice.
Anyway, since the tragedy of the two Ministers of Justice, Liu Zhenxi and Lu Yicheng, the court now considers the Ministry of Justice unlucky.
So even those who had suffered from Qiu Shuxia during the seizure of the reserve didn’t have much objection to starting him.
Of course, this is also because we more or less see the depth of the water in Liaozhou, do not want to get involved the two officers rushed to Liaozhou, was welcomed into the Yamen, not to freshen up and hurriedly understand the situation, but the joint to Jane Li Miao here to hand over a postcard, intends to pay a visit to the door tomorrow.
“Third brother, these two magistrates are not small!” Upon learning of this news, Jian Liwu set out to rush to the city on the same day, and worriedly said to Jian Limiao, “Uncle Shouchun need not be mentioned! This is the son of the Grand Princess of Jin and her husband! He is also the older brother of Yiyu and AHu although it is said that the Grand Princess of Jin favors AHu more, but AHu has been raised in the palace since she was a child, and when it comes to the length of time she has spent together, how can AHu be compared to Yiyu? I’m afraid that Uncle Shouchun cares more about Yiyu among his two younger brothers!”
As for Qiu Shuxia, “I’ve heard all about how difficult and disliked A Hollow was in the early years of that Servant Qiu’s life, I’ve heard all about it in Liaozhou! His Majesty sent such two Chinamen to come, is this … not the case?”
He still suspects that the death of Jian Yijiu has something to do with the third house, and he is worried that when the imperial police come and find out the truth, they will involve the whole Jian clan.
Taking a step back, even if they were not implicated, given the current talent situation in the Jian clan, after losing the support of the third father and son, the decline would be inevitable.
Jian Li Miao understands his elder brother’s worry, but he is also too lazy to explain to Jian Li Worry again, Jian Yiyu’s family accident, it really isn’t his side’s doing.
He only said, “In terms of seniority, Shouchun Bo is Servant Qiu’s nephew; in terms of age, the latter is longer; in terms of ability, Servant Qiu is also superior. Big brother thinks, why Shouchun Bo is the main envoy, but Qiu Lang is the deputy envoy?”
“This is naturally because Minister Qiu has previously supported the King of Zhao in taking over the crown!” Jian Liwu said without even thinking about it, and then realized what he meant and frowned, “Are you saying that the reason why the court is sending Minister Qiu here is not to target A Xu?”
“A Xu’s reason for returning to the imperial capital in the middle of the night is that the Empress Dowager is suffering from a disease!” Jian Li Miao asked rhetorically, “If His Majesty had no intention of returning to A Xu, why would he allow him to return at this time? And in the name of serving the Empress Dowager? In the end, was it not because he was afraid that he would be victimized far away in Liaozhou?”
Jian Liwu continued to frown and said, “In that case, the court sent Servant Qiu here instead to take advantage of the fact that he used to be at odds with Ah Xiu and to demonstrate fairness? However, will Uncle Shouchun … be on A Xu’s side?”
“Anyway, we didn’t do it, Shou Chun Bo has no grudge against A Xu, why does he have to stare at our father and son?!” Jian Li Miao got impatient, “If you don’t feel at ease, just stay here with me for the night, and when they come tomorrow, you’ll listen and watch from the side, okay?”
Jane Liwu thought about it and actually agreed.
The backyard Song Yixiao received the news, busy sending underlings to clean up the guest house out, and commanded people to put the new bedding on the bedding.
She had only just watched the maids clean up and exit the door when it happened that Jian Li Miao sent Jian Li Worry over to settle in, and both brothers’ faces did not look too good, so it was clear that the conversation had not been pleasant.
“I’m sorry to trouble A Xu daughterinlaw!” Seeing her, Jian Li Miao’s expression was gentle and he nodded slightly, while Jian Li Anxiety made a polite remark, “It’s also strange that you’re alone in this mansion and it’s cold, if you have time don’t go to the town as often as you like, your great aunt and they miss you and Qing Yue very much!”
Thinking again, he said, “Oops! I forgot to greet the Sheriff’s Maiden!”
“Uncle, you’re really out of line, I’ve already said that you’re treating Zhuo’er as if she’s your junior!” Song Yixiao was busy humbling herself for her sister, “I wouldn’t dare to bring her out to see you if you were so solemn!”
The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while before Song YiXiao saluted and led the way back to the backyard.
By this time, the Imperial Capital side is already preparing for summer vacation, and the grass in Liaozhou is already lush and dense.
The lush courtyard was fitted with two small swings, and at the moment, Jane Qing Yue and Lu Zhuo Er were sitting on them together, swaying one by one.
They were surrounded by a number of maids in front of and behind them, and the ground was covered with thick felt blankets to prevent them from accidentally falling down and hurting themselves.
Seeing her mother come in, Jian Qing Yue’s eyes lit up, jumping off the swing and rushing over joyfully, “Mother!”
“Good girl!” Song Yi smiled and stood still, letting her pounce on her, smiling and nudging her cheeks, then looking at her sister, who was still sitting on the swing and only quietly looking over, she said gently, “Playing on the swings with your sisterinlaw? Was it fun?”
“It’s not fun at all!” Jian Qingyue tugged at her skirt, kicked the green bricks on the ground, and complained in dissatisfaction, “Auntie Xiao doesn’t talk at all, and doesn’t like to move I managed to coax her onto the swing, and she doesn’t do anything but sit there and stare! Mother, when can we go back to the Imperial Capital? I miss father!”
Song Yi smiled and picked her up and coaxed, “Father will come to pick you up after a while, so you have to be good, or if Father comes back and sees that you don’t listen, he’s going to be angry!”
“I’ve been very good!” Jian Qingyue was busy saying, “I’ve taken my sisterinlaw to play even though she’s so boring!”
“Mother knew that Mother’s Qing Yue is the best!” Song Yi smiled and kissed her daughter’s cheek, coaxed her for a few moments, put her down, walked over to her sister, squatted down, and softly said, “Thrive?”
Lu Thrive said calmly, “Sister.”
The next thing you know, you don’t make a sound.
Song Yixiao coaxed for a while, see no results, secretly sighed, look at the time is almost, busy greeting the two children into the house to eat.
Early the next morning, Shou Chun Bo and Qiu Shuxia knocked on the door.
Not long after they arrived, Jian Li Miao sent someone to the backyard to inform his daughterinlaw, “Uncle Shouchun asked about Qing Yue, you mother and daughter come out to meet!”
Song Yixiao busy Lu Zhuo Er to the bell, their own to Jane Qing Yue changed clothes and skirts Jane Qing Yue is already out of filial piety, she herself in the mourning clothes outside the cover a piece of plain outerwear, to the mirror to check the correct, which led his daughter to the front yard.
The front yard should have just finished exchanging pleasantries at this point, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed, though not exactly warm.
But after the arrival of Jane Qing Yue, whether Shou Chun Bo or Qiu Shuxia, have revealed the color of love, respectively, to give a gift they came over today, the main purpose is still with the brothers of the Jane family to understand the arrival of Jane Yiyuju Liaozhou all kinds of actions and movements, so as to analyze the case.
Seeing Song Yixiao mother and son of course can only be an interlude, so after giving a meet and greet gift and exchanging a few pleasantries, Jian Li Miao implied that her daughterinlaw could take her granddaughter away.
Song Yi laughs in accordance with the word led his daughter to retire, but did not change the plain outer shirt, but let the nurse coaxed his daughter to play, waiting in the room for half a day, listening to people reported that the guests are gone, only busy rushed to the forecourt to look for Jane Li Miao, “Father, the death of the third … brother.”
Perhaps with the two officers of the court did not consume the spirit, Jian Li Miao is now a little tired, but know that my daughterinlaw is worried, or gentle, “The officers have read the Zheng assassin’s tracing, but like me, are very skeptical of that Zhu Zhigui is the real culprits you do not have to worry about it, this matter has nothing to do with our family! You don’t have to worry, this matter has nothing to do with our family, and the two ministers know that!”
… Yes, Song Yixiao is also a little suspicious that the death of Jane Yiyu s family is related to his own family.
The main thing is that the person who has a grudge against Jane Yiyu, and has the ability and guts to lay hands on the beloved son of this Grand Princess, to be honest, anyone would think of the third house of the Jane family, okay?
“It’s no wonder that when big brother heard about the arrival of the imperial guards, he was in a hurry to come over immediately!” Jane Li Miao saw the situation, a bit laughable, pondered, decided to give his daughterinlaw a little bottom, after all, now Jian Xubai is not in Liaozhou, Song Yixiao here is unfamiliar, if you have been worried about their own family, the pressure is too great.
He lowered his voice and said, “What Uncle Shouchun meant in his words just now is that the Grand Princess of Jin was overwhelmed with grief when she heard of the death of Jian Yiyu, and asked him to make sure that he did justice for Jian Yiyu!”
The problem is, “Before Uncle Shouchun received the order to leave, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, both explicitly and implicitly sent people to tell him not to let the Grand Princess of Jin grieve any more!”
Isn’t this tantamount to telling Uncle Shouchun that it’s okay for anyone to be the murderer, but absolutely no relationship with Jian Xu Bai?
After all, other people are murderers, but also let the Grand Princess of Jin vent the pain of losing a son, if it is Jian Xubai, which called the Grand Princess how to do?
As when the sevenyearold Jane Yiyu pushed the fiveyearold Jian Xubai down the lake, the Grand Princess of Jin was heartbroken, but only accompanied by Jian Xubai, as well as acquiescence to the Empress Dowager and others to deprive Jane Yiyu of the right to inherit the title, and after that, Jian Xubai is more favorably disposed to.
She hadn’t said anything about wanting her third son to pay for his life in case her youngest son died, after all that’s something no sane, biological mother could say.
Therefore, if the real culprit who murdered Jian Yiyu’s family this time is related to the third house, it is not to say that it is forcing the Grand Princess of Jin to go to her death, but at least it will also take away half of the life of the Grand Princess of Jin!
What’s the point of worrying about the third house?
Song Yixiao breathed a long sigh of relief before noticing the fatigue between her fatherinlaw’s brows, and busily said, “Father, the old chicken ginseng soup that has been stewing in the kitchen since last night, I’ll go and serve you a bowl of it right now!”
Only the male and daughterinlaw did not know that not only Shou Chun Bo had received a hint from the higherups before departing, but Qiu Shuxia as well.
“What to do?” Although Qiu Shuxia was recommended by Empress Wei before he was reinstated, but in the end he has been an official for many years, in terms of experience and ability are on top of Shouchunbo, so after reading the case file provided by Zheng Keji, and then went to visit Jane’s house, combined with the news he received in the imperial capital, his heart already has almost a bottom, but when he thought of the hints he received before he left the capital, he couldn’t help but hesitate, “Hear it, or don’t you hear it? ”
His temper has always been not very good, but also pay attention to the difference between the first and the second, when not the Empress Dowager personally appeared, and is crying and rebuke, he actually does not care like Huang Jingting and others like a death, but do not want to bow to the end of the Emperor.
Even though he had barely survived to this day, he still didn’t have much goodwill towards Emperor Duanhua.
However, the Dowager Empress is in the end his own aunt, and has always been sincere to him …
Qiu Shuxia was in a bit of a dilemma for a while.
