Chapter 499 Jiangcheng has changed

 "In the cuffs of shopkeeper Kong." Yan Tianlu identified.

The dead man on the ground raised his head when faced with Yan Tianlu's identification, with a ferocious look on his face.

He trembled, quickly took out something from his sleeve, and was about to stuff it into his mouth.

The soldier on the side had quick eyes and quick hands and held him down.

Cao Ran stepped on the back of Kong Xing's hand, squatted down, and took out an exquisite copper whistle as thick as a finger from his palm.

"Give it back to me!" Kong Xing struggled hard, hoping to get up, but his hands were cut behind him and he couldn't move at all. He couldn't help but raise his head and shouted sadly: "Give it back to me."

Cao Ran held the whistle in his hand and looked at it in the light of the fire, his eyes fixed on one end of the whistle.

That night, Jiang Mansion was once again surrounded by officers and soldiers. This time, it was no longer a search, but a thorough search of the house and arrests.

After hearing this, the several concubines who had received the news during the day gathered their belongings and took advantage of the darkness to get out of the dog holes one by one and try to escape.

As a result, he was caught red-handed by the soldiers who had been waiting outside all morning.

Facing the officers and soldiers who rushed in, Tong Qingyun, the wife of the Jiang family, stood under the eaves and ordered arrogantly: "Are you blind? Who are we in the Jiang family? We are relatives of the prime minister. How dare you touch them?

Let’s give it a try at home.”

"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Are the relatives of the prime minister more noble than the emperor today?" Cao Ran asked, so frightened that Tong Qingyun did not dare to say a word.

Jiang Deming, who was lying on the bed, had been groggy. He woke up from the nightmare, struggled to get up, and was helped out.

He was originally in good health, but in a short period of time, he experienced the pain of losing a child in old age, and his body declined at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Pfft", he knelt on the ground and begged: "Sir, Jiang Chengyun is dead. If you still want to hold him responsible, please hold me accountable, and don't implicate the rest."

"Master, please don't do this. How will we people live without you?" Tong Qingyun raised her sleeves and couldn't help crying.

The other captured Yingying and Yanyans also collapsed on the ground, holding their heads and crying into a ball.

They are not crying.

They are crying themselves.

With their master gone and their backer gone, how will they live their lives in the days to come?

Cao Ran looked at Jiang Deming coldly, "Jiang Chengyun is just the scapegoat of the Jiang family. The real mastermind behind the scenes is someone else, Mr. Jiang, don't you think so?"

Jiang Deming raised his eyes, looking at the yellow whistle in Cao Ran's hand in the night, and suddenly his mind went blank.

"Mr. Jiang, you'd better come with us."

Cao Ran was obviously standing in front of him, but his voice seemed to come from the horizon. Every word was deafening, hitting people's eardrums and shaking people's thoughts.

In the past few days, the wall of thoughts that had been held up was suddenly pushed by a pair of invisible hands, and instantly fell apart and completely collapsed.

Jiang Chengyun's eyes were dull, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground.

"Master!" Tong Qingyun rushed forward and called.

"Master."

"Master"

"..." A group of concubines rushed forward and surrounded him, shouting and crying for a while.

"Come here, take the person away!"

The people of Jiangfu are in chaos.

Outside Jiang Mansion, people watching the excitement stood up and watched. Some even climbed onto trees and roof beams to watch with great pleasure.

After that, everyone was caught and headed towards the General’s Mansion.

In the end, Jiang Deming was carried by several people into a carriage, and under the care of officers and soldiers, he was also sent to the General's Mansion.

That night, people in Jiangcheng were happily discussing the affairs of the Jiang family.

Until late in the night, there were still people drinking wine, shouting in the restaurant, burping, drinking and talking like crazy: "From now on, there will no longer be four major families in Jiangcheng, and there will be three pillars."

The changes in the layout of Jiangcheng indicate that the lives of many people will also undergo earth-shaking changes.

No one knows what kind of changes they will be.

The next day, the whole Jiangcheng was abuzz with the Jiang family's major revelations.

In the Xia family courtyard, the days are still the same.

Xia Qianqian, yesterday she was running all the way from Jiangcheng to Qingshan, and from Qingshan to Jiangcheng. Especially when going to Qingshan, she was riding alone for so long, she was really tired.

When I got home, I had dinner and fell asleep.

At dawn, when she got up, Li Yunniang and Aunt Gui were tinkering with making breakfast in the kitchen.

Yuan Bao is holding a book, standing under the sycamore tree in the courtyard, and is concentrating on morning reading.

Yuanbao has been studying with great enthusiasm recently, and Xia Qianqian is very pleased.

Seeing her getting up, Hua Zhuer took a basin of water, put it on the stone table in the courtyard, handed over a square handkerchief, and greeted warmly: "Girl, wash up quickly, dinner is about to start."

"Oh. Okay!"

Xia Qianqian took the handkerchief and quickly washed herself up.

While talking, there was a knock on the door.

Hua Zhuer ran to open the door. After a while, she was carrying two buckets of milk, followed by Uncle Wang, who was also carrying a bucket of milk.

When he raised his eyes and saw Xia Qianqian, Uncle Wang put the milk bucket on the ground and said excitedly: "Girl, the cows in our barn have been adjusted and their bones are much better today. Look, here are three buckets of milk. The output of the cows

The volume is gradually increasing."

"Well, not bad!"

Xia Qianqian stepped forward and opened the lid of the bucket. The milk in the bucket was white, sticky and very fresh.

"Uncle Wang, thank you very much. I will tell Uncle Tian later that you have worked hard this month and I will give you more hard-earned money."

"That can't be done, it can't be done!" Uncle Wang waved his hands anxiously, "The monthly salary you gave us is already high enough, not to mention there is a happy event. Uncle Tian specially asked me to tell you."

"What happened?"

"The case of his cow being poisoned to death has been closed." Uncle Wang said excitedly: "The imprisoned Aunt Liu's family was quite cheerful. They compensated her with money. Not only was she not compensated less, but she was also given more money.

A cow's silver."

"More?" Xia Qianqian was a little surprised when Miao Manli acted like this.

"Yes." Uncle Wang muttered: "The people in that family told me that the slaves doing this kind of thing were caused by the master's lax discipline. They should bear joint and several liability, so they gave him twice as much money.



"Uncle Tian didn't dare to ask for it. He was sincere and forced it on him, so he stayed."

"This matter can be resolved satisfactorily, all thanks to the girl. Old man Tian also wanted to come to Jiangcheng to see you in person and thank you personally, but I stopped him."

Uncle Wang was in a good mood and had a sense of humor when he spoke, "He's here. Who cares about the cows in our barn?"

Xia Qianqian laughed dumbly, "Now that Uncle Tian has money, do you want to buy another cow and raise it yourself?"

"No, no!" Uncle Wang quickly waved his hand, "He said it. He gave the money to his old wife and asked her to save it for his son to find a wife. He wants to raise cattle for us wholeheartedly."

When the conversation got to this point, Uncle Wang smiled and inquired: "Girl, have you chosen the address of your new cowshed?"

Xia Qianqian became worried when she mentioned this matter

Such a nice place, but there was a scuffle last night, and several people died.

If she buys that land again and builds a cowshed...
