Chapter 206: So arrogant, maybe he picked up some silver on the way to Jizhou

At the door of the grain store.

Fan Qijun, who came to Zhou Mansion to investigate a case, arrived in the town in a carriage.

When I passed by Jiangji Grain Store, I happened to see Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin.

The moment Fan Qijun saw Xiao Chengjin, an idea flashed in his mind.

Others may not know the inside story, but this gentleman should know it.

So he shouted to the yamen runner driving the carriage, "Stop."

"Yes, sir," the bailiff responded and quickly pulled the reins.

Fan Qijun stepped down from the carriage on a horse stool and quickly walked into Jiangji Grain Shop. "Sir, I have a little matter I'd like to ask you."

Xiao Chengjin heard the sound behind him and stopped immediately.

He turned around and looked at Fan Qijun, teasingly saying, "Ask me anything you want. I'll tell you everything I know."

Are you here to investigate the cause of Jiang Yunyao’s death?

Jiang Ruo smiled and said, "Master Fan, let's go upstairs and talk!"

Room on the second floor.

Fan Qijun took a sip of tea and asked mysteriously, "I wonder if Madam Xiao knows the cause of that person's death?"

Jiang Ruo understood what Fan Qijun meant and told him the whole cause of Jiang Yunyao's death.

"From what we know, Jiang Yunyao took the servants of the Zhou Mansion to vent her anger after Jiang Qinian left."

"Before she died, she used a horsewhip to beat the young master of the Zhou family until he was covered in wounds."

"When Zhou Zexuan returned home and saw this, he was so angry that he lost his mind and accidentally strangled her... to death."

After listening to this, Fan Qijun felt his scalp tingling.

Each one is more cruel than the other!

Forget it. I will write the news truthfully in the letter when I get back. Jiang Qinian can believe it or not.

Zhou Zexuan is dead, and all the Zhou family members have run away, so let them do whatever they want.

After finding out the truth, Fan Qijun didn't stay any longer.

He stood up and bowed, saying, "I would like to thank Madam Xiao and Master Xiao."

"Master Fan, there's no need to be so polite."

The three of them went downstairs and out of the grain store together.

At this moment, a man suddenly rushed out from the crowd, cursing.

"Master Fan, I want to sue 'Zhou Paopi'."

This person was the man named Zheng who bought the Zhou family mansion.

The moment he saw Fan Qijun, he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Sir, Zhou Paopi has deceived me. He sold me a haunted house. I beg you to help me."

After Zheng finished speaking, he thought bitterly: Now it’s completely ruined.

He would not be afraid if someone else died in Zhou Mansion, but she was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

If Prime Minister Jiang sends someone to take revenge, it will be their Zheng family who will be in trouble!

Upon hearing this, Fan Qijun was furious.

Not to mention a family like the Zhou family, even someone has died in your own house!

With a serious expression, he said to the kneeling man named Zheng, "Your purchase of the Zhou Mansion was a mutually agreed transaction. There was no deception involved."

"Besides, the Zhou family has already fled overnight."

"Don't mention this matter again."

Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Zheng collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.

Fan Qijun ignored the man surnamed Zheng and bowed to Jiang Ruo and the other man. "I will return to the government office first. Goodbye!"

Jiang Ruo and the other person nodded and watched Fan Qijun leave in the carriage.

Shen Yan, who lived in a small courtyard somewhere, became angry immediately after hearing the gossip about herself.

In order to prove that she did not poison Jiang Yunyao, she ignored Zhou Anshuo's injuries, held him in her arms and "strolled" around the street, and told him what happened that night.

At this point, the onlookers have a complete understanding of the Zhou family's path to self-destruction.

The servant who delivered the letter to Zhou's mansion was also quite miserable.

While delivering the letter to the capital, the Zhou Mansion was gone.

After Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin returned to the second floor of the grain shop, they handed a wooden box and a list to An Er.

"Some of the fertile land we bought was purchased from ordinary people by 'Zhou Paopi' through coercion at low prices. We will compensate them for the difference."

"Just compensate according to the amount on the list." Jiang Ruo said, curling her lips and smiling at Xiao Chengjin.

"Yes, master." An Er hugged the wooden box and left happily.

"Ruoruo, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Why don't we bring our aunt and father-in-law over to enjoy the moon together?" Xiao Chengjin said as he diligently poured tea for Jiang Ruo.

Jiang Ruo heard this and said with a smile: "We must take it over so that we can be reunited with each other."

I don’t know how the old man and my aunt are getting along?

By the way, if nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Qinian will arrive in Beijing before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

There's something exciting to watch!

Shengzhou.

Nangong Yi did not feel tired at all on his way back to Shengzhou.

Thinking of Jiang Qinian's miserable appearance in Jizhou, he laughed like a fool.

Several men who were escorting the food looked at their boss who seemed a little "abnormal" and did not dare to ask or say anything.

On the way, when Nangong Yi checked into the inn, he met Jiang Qinian unexpectedly.

There is a saying: When enemies meet, they are especially jealous of each other.

Nangong Yi knew that he had Xiao Chengjin's secret guards around him, so he was not afraid of Jiang Qinian.

He jumped up and down and had a big quarrel with Jiang Qinian on the spot.

In order to maintain his composure, the furious Jiang Qinian left directly and chose to stay in another inn.

The Nangong Mansion, which had "won a great victory", was completely proud of itself.

After the group rushed back to Nangong Mansion, Nangong Yi immediately became the most popular person in the family.

At this moment, Nangong Yi looked at Erlang's legs like a second uncle, "Madam, go and make a pot of good tea for your husband."

Mu Wange and Old Madam Nangong looked at each other and chuckled to themselves.

He is so proud, maybe he picked up some silver on the way to Jizhou.

Mu Wange covered her lips and coughed lightly, then stood up slowly, putting on a dignified and virtuous attitude, "Yes, husband."

Nangong Yi looked at his "virtuous" daughter-in-law and laughed triumphantly.

If you want to know what's going on in Jizhou, you have to please me and curry favor with me.

When old man Nangong looked at the smug Haodaer, he knew that something "good" had happened during his trip to Jizhou.

So, old man Nangong asked Nangong Yi about his well-being with a friendly face.

"Son, did you encounter any bandits or robbers when you went to Jizhou this time?"

Nangong Yi's smug smile froze on the corner of his lips: "......"

Dad, is there something wrong with your eyes?

Do you think your son’s condition is the same as the last time he encountered the bandits?

The time he encountered bandits, he came back crying, but this time, his son came back smiling.

Thinking of this, Nangong Yi said proudly: "Dad, my son's trip to Jizhou went very smoothly this time."

“Also, a lot of things happened that you wouldn’t expect.”

Old Man Nangong chuckled, "Son, tell me quickly about Ruoruo's situation in Jizhou."

Mu Wange walked forward with a tray and said with a gentle smile, "Husband, please have some tea."

"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am."

Nangong Yi: Hey, my own wife is still the best.

Mu Wange: Haha~ I’m not tired at all. This is the tea made by our maid.

Nangong Yi took a sip of tea and slowly told Jiang Ruo about her situation in Jizhou...

When they learned that Jiang Ruo had enough food and drink in Jizhou, they felt relieved.

Nangong Yi suddenly remembered that his family didn’t know that Xiao Chengjin had woken up.

"That bastard Xiao Chengjin has woken up and is getting along very well with our Ruo Ruo!"

After hearing this, several people said in disbelief: "Are you telling the truth?"

Xiao Chengjin hadn't reacted when he left Shengzhou, but he woke up when he arrived in Jizhou.

Well, it seems that Jizhou is also a "feng shui treasure land".

Nangong Yi looked at the suspicious eyes of several people and said angrily: "I'm a puppy if I lie to you."

"Not only that, my son also met Jiang Qinian who went to Jizhou to provide disaster relief..."

Nangong Yi said this, picked up the teacup and took a few sips of tea, deliberately keeping the other person in suspense.

Under the "sweet words" of Old Lady Nangong and Mu Wange, Nangong Yi's arrogance lasted only three seconds before he told Jiang Qinian everything that had happened in Jizhou.

In addition to being happy, Mu Wange immediately said: "Husband, you have worked hard on this trip to Jizhou. I will cook a few dishes myself, and you can have a few drinks with our father."

At this moment, the people of the Nangong family seemed to have let out the resentment that had been pent up for years.

Ruoruo has already started a family and has severed her father-daughter relationship with that bastard Jiang Qinian.

From then on, we had no further connection.
