The meeting with Mrs. Ye was smoother than Jiang Li imagined. Although she consciously took advantage of the Ye family's troubles to get closer to the Ye family, Jiang Li thought in her heart that even without this matter, there would be no barrier between Mrs. Ye and Miss Jiang Er. As long as Second Miss Jiang turns around, Mrs. Ye will always be her backing.

But in the end it was done.

The next thing to do is to wait for the result from Tang Fan. It's just that everyone didn't expect that the result would be so unexpected.

Three days later, Tang Fan went to Ye's house and said, "I found the person who brought the rose flowers to Xiangyang."

Ye Minghui asked: "Who is it?"

Tang Fan shook his head: "In the past few days, Zhifu Tong and I have sent people to investigate the case, followed the clues, and found the Dafeng Pharmacy in Xiangyang City. The shopkeeper of this drugstore will send people to collect some rare medicinal materials every six months. He has a Clever fellow, he came back from the Western Regions two months ago. Some people say that he brought back a lot of medicinal materials, and according to others, there seems to be traces of papaya flowers."

"Dafeng Pharmacy?" Ye Mingxuan pondered for a while, "People in Xiangyang get their medicines in Dafeng Pharmacy, but it has nothing to do with our Ye family."

"We originally wanted to arrest people as soon as possible, but who knew that early this morning, the family of seven shopkeepers of Dafeng Pharmacy, together with the guy who returned from the Western Regions, were all killed."

"Shut up?" Ye Jiaer exclaimed.

"That's right, it shouldn't be a vendetta, but I think," Tang Fan looked at Jiang Li, "It's very likely that the people behind it knew that we were investigating and abandoned the car to save the handsome man."

"You mean, there are people behind?" Ye Mingyu asked.

"If it was only the idea of ​​the people in Dafeng Pharmacy, there is no need to destroy the family. Now it seems that these people who knew the information are all dead, but there are others who are behind the point." Tang Fan replied. He wasn't quite sure at first, but when he saw that the suspected Dafeng Pharmacy was wiped out overnight, he was almost certain that someone was plotting and framing the Ye family's Guxiang satin incident. However, the method is so brutal, without fear of the consequences, it can be seen that the opponent's power is not small.

It's just that since he was already on the side of the Jiang family, it was too late to repent, so he had to bite the bullet and continue.

"Master Tang's doubts about Dafeng Pharmacy should not have been leaked yet." Jiang Li smiled slightly, "In such a short period of time, the people in Dafeng Pharmacy were silenced. Could someone have known in advance? News, this is the killer for Dafeng Yaopu. In this way, there are traitors..."

"Absolutely impossible!" Tang Fan assured in a hurry, "We were sent to Xiangyang by the Order of the Weaving Room for the purpose of thoroughly investigating this matter. We have nothing to do with Dafeng Pharmacy, and we will never leak the news." He was afraid of Jiang Li It is suspected that their people tipped off the other party, so that the witnesses of the Dafeng pharmacy were suppressed.

"Master Tang, don't be impatient. Since I have entrusted this matter to Master Tang, I naturally believe that Master Tang will give us an explanation. It's just that this matter is really unexpected. I just set my sights on Dafeng Pharmacy, and Dafeng Pharmacy didn't leave anyone alive. Could it be that Don't you think it's a coincidence? Zhifu Tong has a lot of subordinates, could it be that someone from Zhifu Tong accidentally leaked the news, so that people can take advantage of it?" Jiang Li laughed.

Tang Fan's gaze towards Jiang Li changed slightly, and he sighed secretly in his heart, Tong Zhiyang had completely offended this second young lady of the Jiang family. The meaning in Jiang Li's words was that he suspected that Tong Zhiyang was in the same group as the person who framed Ye's family. When he got the news, he told the other party, and the other party sent someone to destroy the Dafeng medicine store. Although this matter is possible, when Jiang Li brought it up at this time, it clearly suppressed Tong Zhiyang. When Jiang Li returned to Yanjing City and told Jiang Yuanbai about this matter, Jiang Yuanbai could find any reason, and Tong Zhiyang would be stared at and checked carefully, and he could always find out some clues.

Second Miss Jiang is not easy to mess with, so don't offend her. With this understanding in Tang Fan's mind, when he spoke to Jiang Li, he became more polite, saying: "We found a little bit of pollen pollen scattered in the courtyard behind the clerk's house in Dafeng Medicine Shop. The family was wiped out, but it can be concluded that this matter was done by the buddy. Just wait for enough evidence to be collected, and the Ye family can be cleared."

"But the person behind it can't be found, right?" Ye Minghui said in a deep voice, "It won't work this time, so what if those people plot against us next time? We finally found some clues with great difficulty, and the Dafeng Pharmacy was wiped out. Now the common people How do you believe the Ye family's rhetoric? You may think that my Ye family colluded with officials and businessmen to make excuses. The reputation of the Ye family has been ruined. Not to mention other things, I am afraid that Guxiang satin business will not be done in the future Now, so what?"

What Ye Minghui said was heartbreaking, but it was not completely unreasonable. Tang Fan said: "Our weaving order will find a way to tell the people the truth..." He also felt that what he said was very reluctant. Even if the weaving order said that the Ye family's ancient satin business would not be successful in the future, and the Ye family's main business was ancient satin, the Ye family's vitality would be seriously injured after this time.

"Uncle Minghui," Jiang Li said, "Investigating the case is not what weaving orders should do. If you want to know the clues of the people behind the scenes, you have to rely on Zhifu Tong. Let's hand over this matter to Zhifu Tong. Tong Zhifu is here to investigate. If Tong Zhifu can't find out, then continue to report, one layer at a time. If even Yanjing Zhaoyin can't find out, think of a way, I can let my father enter the palace to face the saint. , can always find a way out.”

She said it lightly, and Tang Fan was terrified when he heard it, thinking in his heart, Tong Zhiyang, the magistrate, seemed to have come to an end. Fortunately, he was on the Jiang family's side from the beginning. Otherwise, with Second Miss Jiang's penny-pinching temperament, she doesn't know how much she will gain if she cleans up afterward.

Thinking in his heart, Tang Fan didn't dare to be negligent, and explained the next thing in detail with Jiang Li before leaving.

After Tang Fan left, Ye Rufeng couldn't help but said, "The people in Dafeng Pharmacy have no grievances with us, how could they be used as gunmen to trip up our Ye family."

"People die for money and birds die for food," Ye Mingxuan taught his son, "Since you are willing to be a gun, you are either benefited by others or threatened by others. If the person who made the weaving order did not act this time, the Ye family will die. One. To live well by stepping on other people's blood, there will always be a price to pay, you see, there is nothing in a good pharmacy now."

Because everyone is dead, it will be futile to pursue it any longer, Ye Mingxuan is very sad.

"But at least it reminded us, didn't it?" Jiang Li smiled.

"But the business of Guxiang satin has been cut off," Guan sighed, "Mother will know about this sooner or later. The Ye family's family business was built by parents, especially Guxiang satin, which is now destroyed In our hands..." She couldn't continue.

Mrs. Ye is not in good health, she can't go out for a long time, she has to rest in bed, except for meeting and laughing with Jiang Li, she doesn't bother Mrs. Ye with these trivial things on weekdays. But whether Mrs. Ye, who is equally important, will hear these things from the mouth of the servants, it is hard to say.

Thinking of the difficulties in the future of the Ye family, everyone is worried. When they left, Jiang Li pulled Ye Mingyu's clothes. Seeing this, Ye Mingyu understood, and went into the room with Jiang Li to talk.

"Uncle Mingyu, are Suqin and Tong Yu okay now?" Jiang Li asked. Suqin and Tong Yu are Tong Zhiyang's concubine and son.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of it. Tong Zhiyang is like a mad dog these days, sending people everywhere to check on the news of the two mothers and sons. If he wasn't afraid of the He family, I think he can call out all the people in their yamen to find someone !"

Jiang Li said: "Nothing, let someone bring a letter to Tong Zhiyang today."

"What letter to bring?" Ye Mingyu was suspicious, and said, "I was worrying about how to deal with the two mothers and sons. Now that the matter of Gu Xiangdu has been settled, the two mothers and sons are useless in my hands. I still want to tell them directly. He Shi, let He Shi clean up Tong Zhiyang."

"In the end, we must tell the He family," Jiang Li smiled, "but before that, we have to let Tong Zhiyang spit out who is behind the scenes who harmed the Ye family."

"He knows?" Ye Mingyu was startled.

"I don't think he will know the other party's identity as a magistrate, but he can always give some clues. With this clue, when I return to Yanjing City, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to find someone." She looked To Ye Mingyu, "Uncle Mingyu can threaten Tong Zhiyang with Tong Yu's close-fitting fabric. Even for the only incense, Tong Zhiyang will know everything."

Ye Mingyu said: "I'll go right away!"

"Be careful." Jiang Li said: "Don't be caught by others."

Ye Mingyu smiled: "Don't worry!"

...

Tong Zhiyang's life is not going well these days.

First of all, he was very sure about the Ye family, and Jiang Li, who disrupted the whole situation, suddenly appeared and watched the Ye family escape. Later, another Tang Fan came, and in the name of Yanjing City Weaving Order, suppressed him in Xiangyang City, making him without dignity.

The most important thing is that his favorite concubine Suqin and son Tong Yu have disappeared and have not been found yet.

Every time Tong Zhiyang thinks about this, his heart feels like a knife is twisted. That's all for Suqin, although she is beautiful and considerate, she is a woman after all, and if she is gone, she can raise another one. Tong Yu is different, he is just such a son, and it looks like the He family can't give birth to a son, if Tong Yu is gone, the incense of the Tong family will be cut off from him, why not rush?

What Tong Zhiyang suspected most was that He knew about the existence of the two mothers and sons, and it was He who took them away. But thinking about it carefully, with He's temperament, if he knew of the existence of Suqin and Tong Yu, he would never pretend to be deaf and dumb, plotting things in secret, the most likely thing would be to hit the door. And even if He's really did it, Tong Zhiyang didn't have the guts to question He's, so he could only hold it in his heart, feeling restless.

Weaver Order moved too fast, fortunately, he immediately told Tang Fan about the person who suspected Dafeng Pharmacy, so that there would be no trouble at Dafeng Pharmacy. What a mess.

Just as he was thinking, his servant suddenly rushed over from outside and shouted, "Master!"

Tong Zhiyang turned his head impatiently: "Why are you so surprised!"

The little servant closed the door, gasped and said: "Master...Master..."

"Is there any news, Master?" Upon hearing about Tong Yu, Tong Zhiyang immediately stood up excitedly.

The boy sent a letter in his hand to Tong Zhiyang, together with a long-lived lock, and said: "I found this in the concierge. I don't know how long it has been. The little one saw that it was the button of the young master. Guess it has something to do with the young master." Related." He handed the letter and the silver lock to Tong Zhiyang.

Tong Zhiyang looked at the silver lock, and his excitement immediately overflowed, saying: "It's Yu'er's!"

Tong Zhiyang dotes on Tong Yu, and when Tong Yu was born, he specially asked someone to set up a long-life lock. The piece in hand right now is Tong Yu's piece. He couldn't wait to open the letter, the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became.

The little servant didn't know what happened, but after seeing Tong Zhiyang read it, he threw the letter on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "How unreasonable!"

"Master, what happened?" the boy asked.

"Someone tied up Yu'er and Suqin," Tong Zhiyang took a deep breath, "This letter is here to threaten me!"

"They want money?" the boy asked. Whenever there is a threat, there is always a plan.

"It would be great if I wanted money!" Tong Zhiyang was very annoyed. The letter clearly stated that both Tong Yu and Suqin were in the hands of the other party, and the other party did not seek talent. Just ask him to explain clearly the ins and outs of the Ye family's troubles that he knows. If the other party is satisfied, he will naturally let him go. If the other party is not satisfied, he will wait until Tong Zhiyang speaks until they are satisfied.

This is to make Tong Zhiyang betray his brother-in-law!

Tong Zhiyang was unwilling, but looking at Tong Yu's longevity lock, he felt very unwilling. If there is no Tong Yu, no matter how big his official career is, no matter how rich his family property is, he will have no successors. Do you want to watch your only incense burn off like this?

After much deliberation, Tong Zhiyang gritted his teeth and made up his mind. People are selfish, and besides his brother-in-law's affairs, he has already done his best. If he wants to blame, he can blame the second Miss Jiang's sudden appearance to turn things around, but he can't make fun of his own flesh and blood for others.

"Bring a pen and paper!" Tong Zhiyang said.

The servant rushed to get things, Tong Zhiyang looked at the letter on the ground, and gritted his teeth again.

After the other party asked him to write the letter, he sent it to the backyard of the He family. Tong Zhiyang originally wanted to send someone to watch the letter, and follow the clues to find out who the other party is. But when he was sent to the He family, the He family was the He family's natal family, no matter how daring he was, he did not dare to do anything under the nose of the He family, and he was even more afraid that the He family would discover the existence of Suqin's mother and son because of him.

The other party really did all the tricks and never leaked anything, making people grit their teeth with hatred...

...

Jiang Li stood at the door of Ye Mansion.

She was waiting for the news of Ye Mingyu's return. Ye Mingyu went to get the reply from Tong Zhiyang. Although Jiang Li could probably guess the result, he still needed Tong Zhiyang's letter to confirm something.

The sun is shining lazily, winter is approaching, the winter in Xiangyang City is warm, unlike Yanjing in the Northland, when it snows, it is not very cold, it is like snow-white pear blossoms blowing in the wind.

The door of the neighboring house opened, Jiang Li glanced over there, and saw Ji Heng and the guard named Wen Ji walking out from inside.

The two of them also saw Jiang Li, Ji Heng looked at Jiang Li, smiled, and walked towards this end unhurriedly.

There were not many pedestrians at the gate of Ye's house, and the people who lived here were all high-ranking officials and nobles, but Ji Heng's handsome appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. Jiang Li even saw a young girl leaning against the door of the house in the distance, looking at Ji Heng frequently.

They didn't know Ji Heng's identity, even so, Ji Heng could become the most eye-catching one here.

"My lord." Jiang Li saluted Ji Heng.

"It's rare to see Miss Jiang come out to bask in the sun." Ji Heng smiled and said to her while holding the folding fan.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the folding fan is no longer used. If someone else held it, they might be said to be arty, but holding it by him feels very suitable. It seemed that the gold thread folding fan was born to be held in the palm of a beautiful person like him. Of course, Jiang Li also knew very well in her heart that the moment the peony on the gold-threaded folding fan blocked the tip of the knife, Jiang Li knew that this folding fan was not just a folding fan, it was also the most dangerous weapon. way hidden.

Just like its master.

Jiang Li said with a smile: "The Duke is also in a good mood."

From the perspective of others, they will only feel that the two of them look very familiar, like old friends they haven't seen for a long time. But Jiang Li didn't really think that Ji Heng regarded him as a friend. Under his gentle smile, he hid the coldest heart. As for what he was going to do, Jiang Li didn't understand, and didn't want to understand.

"What is Second Miss waiting for?" Ji Heng said, "Waiting for Tong Zhiyang's informant?"

Jiang Li raised her eyes to look at him, and sure enough, even the slightest movement on her side couldn't be hidden from Ji Heng's eyes.

She generously agreed: "Nothing can be hidden from your eyes."

"Xiangyang City is so small after all." Ji Heng said modestly, "There are no secrets that can be kept."

"That's true."

Wen Ji stood on the side, seeing the two people, one big and one young, talking as if no one else was there, and couldn't hide his surprise in his heart. Ji Heng looks gentle and affectionate, but in fact he is not a friendly person, and he is especially arrogant and cold towards strangers. It is rare to be able to talk so much with one person. In fact, it has been less than half a year since Second Miss Jiang left Qingcheng Mountain. In half a year, in addition to causing an uproar in Yanjing City, she also established a lot of contact with Ji Heng.

Wen Ji couldn't tell what his master was thinking, saying that Jiang Li would become a pawn to be sacrificed sooner or later, and Ji Heng didn't touch her from the beginning to the end, saying that Ji Heng planned to support Jiang Li, but the conspiracy and dangers against Jiang Li , Ji Heng never helped.

He just happily watched the play on the sidelines, and didn't intend to help, nor did he intend to add insult to injury.

And Miss Jiang Er is also a wonderful person, facing the moody Su Guogong, she has never felt a little timid, let alone a little girl, even if she is older, she will not talk to Ji Heng so calmly.

"Second Miss seems to have already guessed who it is." Ji Heng smiled and said, glancing at her.

"I guess it's the Li family." Jiang Li said directly.

Probably because Jiang Li didn't expect Jiang Li to say it suddenly, and didn't even cover it up, Ji Heng was slightly surprised and didn't speak. The next moment, he heard Jiang Li say: "The Duke already knew about it, right?"

Throw the question at him again.

She wasn't afraid of him at all.

Ji Heng said, "Why do you ask me?"

"Because Xiangyang is too small, no secrets can be hidden from the eyes of the Duke." Jiang Li replied naturally, her smiling eyes were crooked, she seemed to have no heart, she was pure and cute, but her words were sharp.

Ji Heng also smiled, and asked, "Want to know?"

Jiang Li just looked at him and smiled, Ji Heng shook his fan and said, "Don't say it."

It is impossible to say, in fact, that is to say. Jiang Li nodded. In fact, until now, she still couldn't see which side Ji Heng was on. Not to mention the relationship between him and Cheng Wang Hong Xiaodi, even he and the right minister's family are also confusing. Seeing that he knew Li Jing, the eldest son of the Li family, but it was related to the Li family. Seeing that the Li family's plan failed, he did not lend a helping hand. If it is an ally, it is really an annoying ally.

Just as he was talking, a bay red horse came rushing from far and near, and the horseman didn't pull the rein, but just whistled, and the big horse stopped suddenly in front of the door.

It was Ye Mingyu who came back.

Ye Mingyu turned over and got off the horse, and saw Jiang Li standing with a beautiful and outrageous man. This man was wearing a red dress, he was too beautiful, but he didn't look feminine at all. Although he was smiling, he felt that his long and narrow phoenix eyes were not smiling at all. The days of licking blood on the tip of the knife are too many, Ye Mingyu instinctively sensed the danger, and subconsciously wanted to pull Jiang Li behind him, away from this man.

"Uncle Ming Yu." Jiang Li called out.

"Ali, this is..." Ye Mingyu looked at Ji Heng. He didn't remember when such a person came to Xiangyang City.

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, then said: "It's a son who lives in the neighboring house, and we have met a few times."

After all, Ji Heng's identity was not revealed.

Ji Heng smiled, and said to Jiang Li: "The secret is back, Second Miss, go back quickly." It was quite meaningful.

Because Ye Mingyu was here, it was inconvenient for Jiang Li to say more, so she nodded to Ji Heng and followed Ye Mingyu into Ye's house.

After seeing the two of them leave, Wen Ji asked, "My lord, do you need me..."

Ji Heng took a fan to block it, and said, "No need." Glancing at the closed door of Ye Zhai, he smiled, "You don't need to look to know what she is going to do. Xiangyang will be turned upside down."

...

Ye Mingyu and Jiang Li returned to Jiang Li's yard.

Tong'er and Baixue hurriedly made tea for Ye Mingyu. Seeing that there was no one else here, Ye Mingyu couldn't wait to ask: "Ali, who was the man just now? Although you didn't say it clearly, I don't think it's something in the pool, and you seem to have an old friendship." .”

Seeing that Jiang Li couldn't hide it from him, she said, "He is Jiheng, Duke of Su."

"Duke Su?" Ye Mingyu gasped. He had heard of Su Guogong's name before, but Su Guogong was too far away for the people of Xiangyang, like a legend. Seeing legends with your own eyes always feels unreal.

"Why is Duke Su here?" Ye Mingyu asked.

Jiang Li shook her head and said: "I don't know either. I met him when I accompanied my father to the palace banquet, and I talked to him a few times because of my father's relationship. It is considered a few encounters. This time I met him in Xiangyang by chance. It was really unexpected. , I just said a few more words. However," after a pause, Jiang Li continued: "Uncle Mingyu, please don't tell others about this matter. Su Guogong has a special status. I don't know why he came to Xiangyang. In order to avoid trouble , it’s better not to say it.”

"I know." Ye Mingyu patted his chest. Although he doesn't understand the affairs of the officialdom, he also knows that these high-ranking officials and nobles have a lot of activities in private, don't get involved in other people's troubles, and become a scapegoat for no reason.

He took out a letter from his pocket and said, "This is the reply letter I found in He's house." Then he turned his head and praised Jiang Li: "You are really amazing, knowing that Tong Zhiyang is afraid of his wife like a tiger, so he put the reply letter in He's place." House. Tong Zhiyang did not dare to let people follow him, this letter is very easy to get, but I don’t know whether what Tong Zhiyang wrote is true or false.”

Jiang Li opened the letter and said, "Really, Tong Zhiyang will not risk his son's life."

She unfolded the letter and read it carefully. After a while, she handed the letter to Ye Mingyu and motioned Ye Mingyu to read it.

Ye Mingyu picked it up to look at it, and Jiang Li fell into deep thought.

Tong Zhiyang should be very concerned about Tong Yu's life, and this letter conveyed a lot of news. Tong Zhiyang himself didn't know exactly who was responsible for the Ye family's Guxiang satin incident. It's just that his brother-in-law of Zhong Guanling wrote a letter to ask Tong Zhiyang to make the Ye family suffer when it comes to the Ye family's ancient satin. When the Ye family is desperate, Tong Zhiyang will give the Ye family a way out, and the Ye family will have to pay a certain price, but Tong Zhiyang is the only straw for the Ye family.

From this point of view, it seems that someone took advantage of Gu Xiangdu to force the Ye family into desperation, make a deal with the other party, and become the other party's knife. But Tong Zhiyang didn't know who the other party was. Although this matter was said by his brother-in-law, his brother-in-law was just a messenger. Because his brother-in-law once promised that if this matter can be accomplished, Tong Zhiyang's official career will definitely rise to a higher level.

And that Zhong Guanling also vaguely revealed a meaning, there is a huge force behind this whole incident, involving a very powerful nobleman in Yanjing City, and they all work for this nobleman.

It was a foolproof thing at first, but Jiang Li suddenly appeared, and the first time Jiang Li arrived in Xiangyang and found out about Gu Xiangdu, she wrote back to Yanjing to ask the weavers to come, disrupting Tong Zhiyang's whole plan . He had no choice but to write a letter to Zhong Guanling's brother-in-law, but the person weaving the room came too fast, and before he could reply to the letter instructing him on the next step, the matter was out of Tong Zhiyang's control. Instead of being forced into a desperate situation, the Ye family survived.

This is all the facts that Tong Zhiyang knows, and he doesn't know any more. Jiang Li believes that Tong Zhiyang didn't tell everything, but concealed part of it. For example, the Miemen of the Dafeng Pharmacy, but these are not the most important. The important thing is that in the part Tong Zhiyang said, the powerful nobleman, if she guessed correctly, should be the right minister Li Zhongnan's family. No doubt about it.

From Li Lian's eye on Ye Shijie at the beginning, to the conversation between Li Jing and Ji Heng, and now to the conspiracy against the Ye family, the whole thing is so confusing that it seems that there is no end to it.

"Ali," Ye Mingyu said after reading the letter, "I know all the characters in this letter, how can I connect them together, so I don't understand what it means?"

"Uncle Mingyu, to put it simply, there is a nobleman in Yanjing City who took a fancy to the Ye family's property and Cousin Ye's official career, and deliberately made a play of inviting you into the urn. But, " she smiled: " It's fuzzy."
