At noon that day, Mrs. Huang hurriedly walked into the house, ignoring Bao'er who was crying and wanted to be held by her and ran straight to the living room.
"Dalang, Dalang." She shouted without even entering the door.
The maid in front of the door was busy giving gifts.
"Master is talking to..." they said.
Before he finished speaking, Huang had already entered the hall.
"Da Lang, I heard something happened..." she said urgently.
Fan Jianglin and a young man in the hall looked at her. They both held wine bowls in their hands, obviously drinking.
Huang's words stopped abruptly.
"Sixth Young Master." She was a little embarrassed and hurriedly saluted.
Zhou Hao nodded in return and drank the wine in his hand.
"I'm leaving first," he said.
Fan Jianglin stood up to see him off, but Zhou Hui had already strode away.
"Dalang." Mr. Huang said hurriedly, "I just heard the big news on the street. Horse thieves in Qingyuan County have killed many people. The news spread widely, and all the soldiers and horses in the capital were dispatched. Count on it.
Today, my sister and the others happened to be there, do you want to find someone to ask?"
Fan Jianglin pointed outside.
"Sixth Young Master has already gone to inquire." He said, "I met the messenger at the city gate, and he followed him to Jingzhao Mansion to inquire."
"Is that really a horse thief?" Huang asked hurriedly.
Fan Jianglin looked a little strange.
"It's true," he said, "and it really killed a lot of people."
At this time, Mrs. Huang was no longer nervous after hearing this. If something really happened to her sister, it would be impossible for the Sixth Young Master to come here and sit and drink with Dalang.
As a woman, she knows best how the Sixth Young Master treats this sister.
That's why I didn't ask about it in front of Liu Lang just now.
She was really afraid that the sixth young master would go crazy after hearing this rumor.
"We still know these people who were killed." Fan Jianglin said, sitting down and pouring wine, "Guess who they are?"
Huang looked surprised and hurriedly sat over.
"Someone you know?" she said. They didn't know many people in the capital. Those who could make friends with them were all good people. If something really happened, she looked a little nervous and sad, "Who is it?
"
Fan Jianglin picked up the wine bowl and smiled.
"A high-ranking official," he said.
Huang's eyes widened in shock.
"Who?" she yelled.
"The third son of Gao Lingbo, the 14th son of the Gao family, the 14th son of Gao who competed with Mr. Silang in the brothel." Fan Jianglin said slowly, the smile on his lips getting thicker.
Huang finally understood this time and was even more surprised.
"How is this possible?" she said.
How could the horse thief kill the 14th Lang of the Gao family? No, in other words, how could the 14th Lang of the Gao family be killed by the horse thief?
He is not an ordinary businessman walking to deliver goods, nor is he a scholar traveling alone. He is the 14th son of the Gao family, the tallest in the world.
"Is there anything impossible?" Fan Jianglin said, "When Lao San and the others died and were humiliated and robbed by that black-hearted thief, could you have imagined that one day they would be redressed and be repaid with glory? Could you have imagined that they would not be punished yet?
Can a walking little baby be given an official position? Can you think of it, everyone knows about Maoyuan Mountain, the capital and even further places? Can you think of so many scholars and literati writing the names of Lao San and others?
Do you want to read it again and again?"
When he asked, Huang shook his head.
I can't think of it, how could I possibly think of it.
Lowly people like them will die like dust when they die.
Unexpectedly, it would be spread among the people, recorded in the writings of literati, and engraved on the stone walls.
This is what many people say is the lifelong dream of leaving a mark in history.
"So, nothing is impossible." Fan Jianglin said with a smile, as long as the woman is there.
He picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
……………………………………………
In the Qin Mansion, Mrs. Qin also walked straight towards the door. There were no servants or maids standing in front of the door, and it seemed that there was no one around.
Mrs. Qin didn't stop at all, stretched out her hand and opened the door suddenly.
The figure of Minister Qin, who was sitting upright inside, trembled slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her.
"What's the matter, ma'am?" he asked.
"What did Thirteen do?" Mrs. Qin asked without the usual smile on her face.
"Didn't I tell you?" Shi Qin said with a smile, "Wu Biao celebrated his birthday, and I asked him to celebrate my birthday."
Mrs. Qin looked at him.
"I'm sorry for Thirteen," she said. "I gave birth to him as a cripple. He is the biggest sin in my life."
Her eyes turned red as she spoke.
Minister Qin stood up.
"How can this be your fault? If it is wrong, it is also my fault." He said, reaching out and putting his arms around Mrs. Qin's shoulders.
Mrs. Qin took a step away.
"If he dies, Qin Qilang, you will never be able to atone for your sins in your lifetime." She stared at Qin Qin and said.
Qin Shishuo looked slightly gloomy.
"Don't think too much, just live and die." He said, reaching out to hold her shoulders again.
"I'm not a fool." Mrs. Qin threw him away and shouted, tears streaming down her face, "Who in the world wants Gao Shishi to die the most? It's Shi San! As much as he likes Cheng Jiaoniang, he hates Gao Shishi!
If he were to trade his own life for that of Gao Shishi, he wouldn't even blink an eye."
At this point, she reached out and grabbed Qin Shidao's lapel.
"He is already crazy. Why are you crazy too? How can you agree with him to do such a dangerous thing? Please return Shisan to me quickly and let him come back."
Minister Qin put his arms around her to comfort her, but footsteps were heard outside the door, and the door was opened.
Qin Shidao felt a chill down his spine, his expression suddenly turned cold, and Mrs. Qin also stopped shouting.
This is their inner house, and someone broke in like this, while saying such words!
"oops."
A clear voice outside the door said, breaking the stagnation in the room.
A young man turned around at the same time and raised his sleeves to cover his face.
"Don't look at anything inappropriate, you're being rude."
Shitou Qin felt a breath of turbid breath finally coming out. Mrs. Qin pushed Shitou Qin away, took a step forward, hugged Qin Hu, and cried loudly.
"You bastard, why don't you give up your mother for the sake of a woman? You are an unfilial son."
Qin Hu chuckled and reached out to hug his mother.
"Mom, you don't slap people in the face when you hit them, don't expose their shortcomings when you scold them, son, I don't have a woman, I only have my mother," he said.
Wherever there is a woman, he doesn’t have any anymore….
This sentence made Mrs. Qin feel an inexplicable pain in her heart, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.
This silly son! This silly son!
"Gao Shisi is dead?"
At the same time, Chen Shao was also surprised when he heard the news.
"The Fourteenth Prince of the Gao family was killed by a horse thief? How is this possible?"
"It's still uncertain whether it was horse thieves who did it. Although Qingyuan County reported that it was horse thieves, the Gao family said it was definitely not horse thieves and they must investigate thoroughly. From this, it can be seen that Gao Shisi is indeed dead," the personal attendant said.
.
Chen Shao looked a little unable to react.
"Is Gao Shishiro dead?" he said again. "Killed by a horse thief? On his way back home?"
He read it once in his mouth.
"How is this possible? This is too coincidental..."
As soon as Qiao came out of his mouth, a thunderbolt struck his mind, and Chen Shao suddenly stood up.
"Horse thief! Qingyuan County!" he shouted.
His Gao family was not the only one passing through Qingyuan County at this time!
There is also the Prince of Jin'an County.
No, not only Prince Jin'an, but also the people following Prince Jin'an.
Chen Shao subconsciously looked at the screen.
Then a lot of things will make sense.
Gao Lingbo happily agreed to return to his hometown, but it turned out that he wanted to kill the King of Jin'an County on the way.
And the story of horse thieves that has been circulating in the capital a few days ago is not groundless.
So there are no such coincidences in the world! All seemingly unrelated coincidences ultimately lead to today.
"When did it happen?" Chen Shao asked.
"Last night," the attendant said.
Last night, an ordinary rainy night, such a big thing happened.
I don’t know how dangerous it was at that time.
Chen Shao couldn't help but take a few steps in the house.
But in the end it was someone else who died.
He stopped and exhaled again, stood in front of the screen, and looked at it silently.
Gao Lingbo happily agreed to return to his hometown in order to kill the King of Jin'an County on the way. So why did this woman and the King of Jin'an County agree to leave the capital?
Unconsciously following the thoughts that flashed through his mind, Chen Shao was startled again and suddenly understood.
There was a dispute in front of his own house, which made him finally make up his mind and gave her the chance to leave Beijing.
She agreed to leave Beijing and gave Gao Lingbo a chance to take action.
Gao Lingbo's move also gave her the opportunity to take action.
Opportunity, everyone has a chance.
"He plotted, I plotted, but it turned out that it was all your plotting." He said slowly, looking at the screen with a bitter smile, he picked up the pen and put a heavy dot on it.
………………………………………….
"It turns out that Madam has indeed been prepared."
Mr. Gu said in the carriage, looking a little excited.
"Then this time Chen Shao impeached us and expelled us from Beijing. Was this discussed with his wife?"
Cheng Jiaoniang shook her head.
"How is that possible?" she said, "I really want to leave the capital. It's just the same as Mr. Chen's wish."
"Thinking what people want can achieve things." Prince Jin'an interjected, looking at Mr. Gu frowning with a bit of impatience.
Mr. Gu just pretended not to see it and continued to ask Cheng Jiaoniang.
"Think of what people think, so it makes sense. Madam thought about what Mr. Chen thought about, and also thought about what the Gao family wanted, so it was possible." He twirled his beard with some relief, "So Madam is ready.
That gun, what kind of gun, repelled the Gao family's ambush in one fell swoop."
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.
"But how does Madam know where the high-ranking officials are?" Mr. Gu thought again and asked.
This is the biggest puzzle. You must know that Gao Xiaoguan was not at the ambush scene.
"I added a kind of spice to that nest." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "I think those who escaped will report it, and maybe they can follow the clues."
Mr. Gu said oh.
"So that's it." He said, "No wonder Madam, you didn't let us chase those people. It turned out to be to let the tiger return to the mountains to find its lair."
Cheng Jiaoniang was silent.
The prince of Jin'an County coughed lightly.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Jing specially brewed the soothing tea." Mr. Gu said hurriedly, while looking at the tea bowl on the small table, "Your Highness, take a sip to moisten your throat."
"I know." Prince Jin'an said, "I'm just sleepy."
Sleepy, do you know what it means?
Mr. Gu laughed dryly, went through everything in his mind again, made sure that everything was clear, and then paused again.
"But what if those people didn't find the mastermind behind the scenes?" he asked.
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled.
"I guess I've always had good luck, and maybe I'll be lucky this time too," she said.
What luck.
It sounded like a well-planned arrangement at first, but suddenly I said it depends on luck, which made this matter a little bit lighter.
"Don't underestimate luck." Cheng Jiaoniang seemed to have read through his mind. She slowly twirled her fingers and buried the three big coins in her palm, "Luck is not easy to come by."
"If those people didn't go, she would naturally come back with her body intact, stop herself, and it would be them who would take action again. If there is anything to think about, it will be gone. It will be left to the next time." Prince Jin'an
Said impatiently.
That's true.
Mr. Gu smiled and nodded.
"But did Madam do this well? If someone found out..." He said again, watching the Jin'an County King frown again and speeding up his speech, "Yes, I know that regardless of whether there is evidence or not, the Gao family will definitely
If you know that this matter has something to do with us, what I mean is, don’t let them get any evidence that can be put on the surface..."
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled and shook her head.
"I didn't do this at all," she said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage stopped.
"Your Highness, the inn has arrived." Someone outside the car said.
Mr. Gu quickly got out of the car and opened the car curtain.
From a distance, the postmaster and his postmen greeted him respectfully.
"...It's good that Your Highness is here. I'm worried right now. There are horse thieves in Qingyuan County. It's really scary..."
Horse thief?
Mr. Gu was startled and suddenly realized, he turned to look at Cheng Jiaoniang.
Cheng Jiaoniang was being helped out of the car by the Prince of Jin'an County.
"So I said, sometimes I am very lucky." She said with a slight smile.
