"Take me to see the leader of the Xiao family!" Leng Qingyan said in silence for a long time.
"This... Wu Neng hesitated. After all, the childe had not agreed. If he took Leng Qingyan to meet the old clan leader of the Xiao family, it would be bad if the childe got angry.
"Are you afraid the childe won't agree?" Leng Qingyan asked when he saw Wu Neng's idea.
"Don't worry, childe, since I asked you to come with me, I should have thought I would go to see old clan leader Xiao." Leng Qingyan said first when Wu Neng was about to speak.
Wu Neng thought it was right! Childe didn't follow Leng Qingyan's request, so he readily agreed and walked inside with Leng Qingyan. I don't know how long it took to see leader Xiao standing in the cell with his back to himself.
"Xiao..." Leng Qingyan was a little excited. Her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She didn't know how to call it.
When hearing the sound, old clan leader Xiao turned to look at Leng Qingyan. His face was always smiling. He was not as haggard as expected. On the contrary, he was radiant. Leng Qingyan was stunned and turned to Wu Neng and said, "Wuzhi County, can you let me talk to old clan leader Xiao alone?"
Wu Neng has been in officialdom for a long time. How can he not understand Leng Qingyan's meaning? He smiled and said, "Mrs. Yan Qing, talk slowly. I'll wait for you outside."
Old clan leader Xiao didn't know why Leng Qingyan came. Compared with Xiao Xinyang's excitement, he was much calmer. He first saluted Leng Qingyan and said, "Mrs. Yan Qing!"
"Old clan leader Xiao!" Leng Qingyan returned a gift to him, looked at old clan leader Xiao through the iron prison door and asked, "the Xiao family has been sealed up by the government. Old clan leader Xiao knows why?"
"Mrs. Yan Qing, if you come to persuade me to plead guilty, please go back! I've always been cautious in doing business. This time, someone must have planted the blame. Even if I die, I won't admit that there are private goods in my goods!" old clan leader Xiao said with a heavy face and a firm attitude.
"Old clan leader Xiao misunderstood Yan Qing. Yan Qing came here to avenge you. If old clan leader Xiao trusted Yan Qing, could you explain the events of that day more clearly." Leng Qingyan said sincerely.
"Three days ago, I went to the dock for inspection as usual, and the people from the government suddenly broke in. I asked them why. They didn't say anything, so they rushed into the cabin and turned around and found the private goods. At that time, I didn't react, so I was caught by the people from the government." old clan leader Xiao told Leng Qingyan what had happened at that time, I don't know why he seems to see his youngest daughter in Leng Qingyan. He wants to trust her for no reason.
"Did you have anyone else on the dock except leader Xiao?" Leng Qingyan thought for a moment and looked up at leader Xiao and asked.
"All the goods on the Xiao's wharf were brought from the Xiao's side of the capital, and the route between them was only between the capital and Dongjiang. At that time, it was the time to load the goods. Usually, I wouldn't put the cargo ship on at this time. At that time, I didn't look at the people on the wharf carefully, but I haven't figured out one thing yet." Old clan leader Xiao paused here, looked around and made sure that no one was eavesdropping. Then she said to Leng Qingyan:
"I found something on the boat of the Xiao family. I don't know whether Mrs. Yan Qing knows it or not." old clan leader Xiao took something like a jade card from his arms and handed it to Leng Qing Yan to see.
Leng Qingyan opened his eyes and looked at the jade card with a big palm in his hand. Isn't this the jade card on the poison like body?
Do you?
Is it like poison!
If Xiangdu sent someone to plant and frame his rented father, it is likely that Xiangdu was instructed by Tang yuntu, that is to say, this matter has something to do with Tang yuntu!
Why did Tang yuntu frame the Xiao family? Where did the Xiao family hinder him! Leng Qing clenched his fingers in Yan's sleeve into a fist. After a long time, he looked at old clan leader Xiao and said, "old clan leader Xiao, please forgive Yan Qing's clumsy eyes and don't know what this is."
Tang yuntu has repeatedly protected himself from danger. In any case, he can't betray him.
"I thought Miss Yanqing had seen it! Since Mrs. Yanqing doesn't know what it is, please come back!" the tone of old clan leader Xiao slowly became cold and alienated.
"Old clan leader Xiao... Leng Qingyan opened his mouth to say that he could help him find out the truth. Old clan leader Xiao coldly interrupted:" I don't want to know the truth. If Mrs. Yan Qing really wants to help me, please let the imperial envoy treat my family well. I'll die without regret! "
"··" Leng Qingyan didn't know where he offended old clan leader Xiao. Seeing that he was unwilling to say anything else to himself, it was convenient for him to leave politely.
"Mrs. Yanqing!" Wu Neng hurried to meet him when he came out.
"The foreman is dead, Wu Neng. How are you going to work with the childe?" Leng Qingyan looked up at Wu Neng and asked with a smile.
"Please also ask Mrs. Yan Qing to say a lot of good words for the junior officer in front of the childe." Wu Neng said with a smiling face.
Leng Qingyan just took a look at Wu Neng, took back his eyes, turned and left the dungeon···
——
Like poison, he pushed open the window of the side hall and looked at Leng Qingyan who came out of the Yamen. Leng Qingyan narrowed his eyes and sneered. With your three heads and six arms, you can't find out the truth. The foreman is dead. No one in the Xiao family will believe you, the ostensible imperial wife. Just toss about slowly!
Like poison has been looking at Leng Qingyan. When she came out of the yamen, she took back her eyes and said to the man in black kneeling on the ground, "go and follow her. Remember not to scare the snake."
"Yes, sir!" the man in black turned over and went out.
——
Leng Qingyan walked on the busy street and looked down at the ground under her feet. The white embroidered shoes stepped on the puddle that had just rained, and the sewage splashed dirty her skirt and white embroidered upper. She frowned gently, slowly lifted the skirt and continued to go ahead.
At this point, many vendors have taken back their stalls. Leng Qingyan hasn't found the four Xi pill she ate on her first day. Her stomach is very empty. After scanning around the street, her eyes fall on a stall buying eight treasure rice.
Babao rice, as its name implies, is a combination of Babao. Babao mainly consists of longan, peanut, lotus seed, red jujube, job's tears, glutinous rice, medlar, red bean and eight kinds. This kind of rice has unique taste and exquisite workmanship.
Leng Qingyan took a special look at the big iron pot for cooking. She found that the iron pot was different from those in ordinary stalls, and the seasoning in it was also different.
"My guest, do you want anything?" the shopkeeper couldn't help but ask when he saw her standing and looking at her stall.
Leng Qingyan was just looking at it. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper would ask her like this. She was stunned and said, "I'm just looking at it. I don't buy it!"
It's not that Leng Qingyan has no money, but that there's one thing in this eight treasure rice that's bad for pregnant women. Leng Qingyan can't eat naturally, and Leng Qingyan doesn't want to eat is the most important thing.
"Go away if you don't eat! You're blocking my business!" the shopkeeper changed his face and said.
Leng Qingyan had seen the folk customs of Dongjiang for a long time. He didn't think it was strange. He turned and walked into the crowd.
