Because of Yi Lan's special status, the group quietly got on the carriage from the side.
More than a dozen internal guards and the most skilled female guards rode in several carriages, while Lin Haoming, Yi Lan, Li Wei and the captured Caixia rode in one.
The carriage galloped and arrived at the place in less than half an hour, but just as Lin Haoming thought, the place had been deserted, leaving only some traces of the people there yesterday.
Seeing this scene, Lin Haoming knew that the other party must be a veteran. I am afraid that he would have left the city long ago, and once he left the city, no one would know where he would escape to.
Of course, this was when Lin Haoming didn't know who the other party was. If there were some clues, he might still be able to trace them.
"Mrs. Yi, I'm afraid she has left!" Lin Haoming said.
Of course Yi Lan knew what Lin Haoming meant by leaving. Looking at Li Wei and others who were still searching for traces, she deliberately whispered: "Lin Haoming, Qiniang was once the concubine of Cui Changting. At that time, the master was still there
The households in Dishan City are all officials together. The master is the commander of the Tianmu Division, and Cui Changting is in the household office. Of course, the commander of the Tianmu Division in Dishan City is an official of the eighth rank, while Cui Changting is from the seventh rank. Of course,
He is not a palm seal official. Although there is a superior-subordinate relationship, the two of them were considered close friends back then. Even when the master knew that the other party already had a wife, he married his only biological sister to the other party as his concubine."
"This Cui Changting should have a lot of history, right?" Lin Haoming knew that even if they were close friends, Jia Kai would never marry his sister to him as a concubine casually.
Yi Lan also knew that Lin Haoming also knew who the master was, so he did not hide it and said directly: "Cui Changting is a relative of the Wu family. I think the lord of Tianman Mansion is named Wu.
You should know, right?"
"So, Cui Changting came here to practice?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Yes, in fact, after the master married Qiniang, Cui Changting still didn't push her at first, and soon Cui Changting took over the position of the housekeeper, and the heads of the six houses in Dishan City were all palm-printed heavenly officials.
, his status and identity are naturally different. Of course, because Cui Changting has a wife, he cannot be blessed by Qiniang, but neither the master nor Qiniang pays much attention to this matter."
"I'm telling you, then Cui Changting should be a good person?" Lin Haoming was a little confused.
"Hey! Cui Changting thought that the master was useful. Not long after he became the head of the household, the master also advanced to Shenxuan. The relationship between the master and him was so close, so naturally he quickly asked the master to take over the position of the household manager. The two of them
They supported each other and made great achievements in Dishang City. However, after the achievements, Cui Changting couldn't bear it anymore. Finally, with the help of his achievements in Dishang City, he returned to Tianman Mansion and became a sixth-rank official.
Although he is only an official of the sixth rank, the sixth rank Tianyin can already bless a wife and a concubine, but what the master did not expect is that he did not choose to bless Qiniang."
"What's the reason?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Cui Changting's wife was married to a granddaughter of an old clan member by his parents in his early years in order to consolidate his position in the family. After returning to Tianman Mansion, he worked under the Wu family in order to have a better future.
The Wu family also wanted to bring good fortune to their children, so they asked a member of the Wu family to marry him as a concubine, so Qiniang naturally became a concubine. In fact, if this was the case, there would be no divorce in the end.
As a result, after all, with Cui Changting's ability, it is not impossible to go one step further and become a fifth-grade official. Then he can bless the second concubine. But at this time, Qiniang is pregnant. The law of heaven stipulates that concubines
To receive the blessings of the Heavenly Seal, the first one to leave descendants for the Palm Seal Officer must receive the blessings first. The higher the cultivation level, the harder it is to have descendants. Neither Cui Changting, the Wu family nor Qiniang expected this to happen."
When Yi Lan said this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"It seems that the Wu family forced Cui Changting, and Cui Changting forced Qiniang to abort the child!" Lin Haoming said with a bitter smile.
"No, although the woman from the Wu family is a side branch, she does not necessarily have to marry Cui Changting as a concubine. After all, there are not many sixth-rank officials, but there are still quite a few seventh-rank officials. Being a full wife is not necessarily worse than a sixth-rank concubine. It's completely
Cui Changting was afraid that because of this incident, his marriage to the Wu family would become a mirror image, so he forced Qiniang to have a miscarriage. Qiniang was so angry that she forced Cui Changting to write a divorce letter, so Cui Changting refused to do anything.
So Qiniang divorced her. Of course, after the child was miscarried, Qiniang's body was severely injured. She always looked like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, but when she returned to the master, she was already like a woman in her late teens.
Dead!" Yi Lan lamented.
"Although my lord values profit, he also values love. If his only sister becomes like this, he will naturally feel that he is sorry for her!" Lin Haoming continued.
"You have not been with me for a long time, but you understand my character very well." Yi Lan praised.
"Madam, you have received the award. In fact, I only confirmed this after meeting Madam?" Lin Haoming said with a smile.
"Why?" Yi Lan was a little surprised.
"Because Madam Yi, your appearance is not as good as those of the others, but I love you especially, which shows the affection in your heart. Madam is so lucky to be with such a man!" Lin Haoming said.
"You are really good at talking. I heard that after your ascension, the only concubine you officially accepted was a cook in your house?" Yi Lan asked.
"Yes!" Lin Haoming said.
"Actually, I was also the cook in the master's house at first! If you have a chance, bring me your concubine!" Yi Lan said with a smile.
"Okay, okay!" Lin Haoming listened and agreed quickly.
Yi Lanze did not say anything more about this, and said directly: "When Qiniang came back, I had already gone to Xilin County to serve as the magistrate of Zhangyin County. It has been three thousand years since now. Cui Changting has never been here in these three thousand years. Why do you think he wants to do this this time?"
Are you here to kidnap Qiniang?"
"Yes, Qiniang was forced to leave by Cui Changting. Cui Changting treated her like this and couldn't avoid her at all. How could he come to her? If he really wanted to go along with it, even if he took people away by force, there was no need to kill Qiniang's guards.
!" Lin Haoming was also a little puzzled.
"Yes, if Qiniang stays with him, it will affect his official reputation!" Yi Lan also agreed with Lin Haoming's words.
Hearing this, Lin Haoming's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "None of us have met Cui Changting. The only one we have met is Mrs. Sun. Are Mrs. Sun and Cui Changting familiar with each other?"
"I'm not very familiar with him. That person named Sun was accepted by Cui Changting a few years before he left Dishan City!" Yi Lan said.
"In this case, Mrs. Sun knows Cui Changting, but is not familiar with it. What if someone deliberately pretends to be Cui Changting? And it is really Cui Changting. This person should have a higher level of cultivation than you. He can just take Qiniang away. Why is there any need?
What about taking action when the adults leave?" Lin Haoming put forward a bold hypothesis. If Yi Lan hadn't mentioned Siyue before, Lin Haoming might not have thought of it. 8)
