Jiusu won three million in the lottery, then overworked herself to death that very night. She transmigrated to ancient times, where her brother and sister-in-law wanted to sell her as a concubine. ...
Chapter 68 Chen Zhao learns about the existence of the Jiang family
The housekeeper went to call Lou Ming.
Originally, the interrogation was to wait until daybreak, but Magistrate Zhang and Lou Ming had a decent and profitable relationship, so it couldn't be made public yet. They had to first see Lou Ming's attitude and whether the matter was serious.
Jiusu made a bowl of medicine, "It's for replenishing qi and blood."
Jiang Jing fed his father the medicine, tidied the bed, covered it with bedding, and then stared fiercely at everything in Huiming Hall. He almost lost his father. He knelt on the ground.
"Please, sir, punish the murderer."
"Jiang Jing, you fugitives have no human rights. When the time comes, just ask Lou Ming to compensate you with some silver. Why bother making trouble?" County Magistrate Zhang warned disdainfully.
Jiang Jing's heart suddenly felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar.
——
Boom boom boom.
"Who is it?" Chen Nan asked.
Chang Bo asked politely, "Is this General Chen's home? I'm a servant of Jiusu, and I have something important to discuss with the general."
Chen Nan thought about it and opened the door. He wanted to ask what was going on, but Chang Bo wanted to wait until he saw the general.
The whole family was awakened.
"Okay." Bai Luoxue nodded obediently. She lay on the bed, clutching the quilt tightly, her nervousness growing stronger. How could she be discovered so soon? She still wanted to wait until her illness was cured so that Jiang Jing would be grateful to her.
It must be that bitch Jiusu again!
Chen Zhao looked at the unfamiliar Chang Bo and sneered in his heart when he heard that he was Jiusu's servant. He thought he was quite good at enjoying himself. As soon as he left, he bought slaves and lived in a big courtyard. As a general, he had never done so.
Chang Bo recounted the whole story in full.
Chen Zhao straightened up, a dangerous look on his face. "You mean, Luoxue wanted to kill a fugitive? I guess it was that damned fugitive who contradicted Luoxue. Luoxue is a concubine of the general's mansion, so why would it be strange for her to kill a fugitive?"
Chang Bo said: "Concubine Bai is acquainted with the Jiang family. She has been looking for them for a while now. She doesn't seem to be an enemy."
Chen Zhao remembered the time when Bai Luoxue didn't live at home. He turned and went to the inner room with a burning gaze, which scared the woman who was pretending to be asleep.
"Luoxue, someone said you were going to kill a fugitive named Jiang?"
"Ah?" Bai Luoxue was stunned. She shook her head and said defensively, "How is that possible? Is there some misunderstanding here? Murder? I don't even dare to think about it."
Chen Zhao pursed his lips, realizing that she was hiding something. He stared at the uneasy woman and said in a deep voice, "This matter has a rather big impact. Luoxue, you'd better tell me the truth."
Bai Luoxue grabbed her clothes, reached out to hold the man's hand, and said aggrievedly.
"My dear, I should have told you a long time ago, but I was afraid you would be angry because I was close to a family of exiles. They used to be high-ranking officials in Shengjing. My father had a very good relationship with Uncle Jiang, and the two families often visited each other. But the Jiang family was confiscated and exiled here. I also heard Qi Yaer talk about it by chance when I came here.
Thinking of our old friendship, I often visit them. Last night, I passed by their house and seemed to hear a noise inside. Thinking that Uncle Jiang was not in good health, I was afraid that something might have happened, so I broke the lock and sent him to Huiming Hall, hoping that the housekeeper would cure Uncle Jiang.
Suddenly, Chen Zhao remembered a person his father-in-law mentioned. His surname seemed to be Jiang. Everyone sighed at the man's talent. He must be from their family.
"But Huimingtang is abusing Jiang Jinyou, and the matter has been reported to the county magistrate. Now they have sent someone to ask you to come." He looked at the woman, as if he could help her solve the problem even if she did something bad.
Unexpectedly, Bai Luoxue disliked the bedding and called Fangfei to help her get dressed.
"I have to ask Huiming Hall. I clearly asked them to save Uncle Jiang, so how did that become abuse?"
She was stubborn, her eyes were red, and she was shaking with anger.
Chen Zhao hugged him distressedly and said, "I'll go with you. If anyone dares to disobey you at Hui Ming Tang, I will never forgive them!"
The sky was slightly brightening, and a group of people gathered in Huiming Hall.
Chen Zhao held the 'shy' Bai Luoxue in his arms and stepped over the threshold. His eyes swept over the people in the main room one by one, and finally stopped at the man in the black shirt. Suddenly, ripples appeared in his heart.
He said in a complicated tone: "Uncle Jiang's son is so handsome."
"No husband is better." Bai Luoxue felt the hands on her arms tighten their grip. Afraid of being noticed, she suppressed her guilt, her eyes filled with love as she looked at the man. "If we weren't family friends, and if they were pitiful, I wouldn't help."
Jiang's mother stepped forward with red eyes and questioned.
"Why are you so cruel? Our family hasn't offended Miss Bai, right?"
Bai Luoxue felt truly wronged. She blocked her husband's rage and tearfully said, "Aunt, I really didn't mean to harm my uncle. I told Huimingtang that I wanted to heal him, so why did it become abuse? Lou Ming, you must give me an explanation!"
Chen Zhao supported Bai Luoxue and sat in the main seat.
He said coldly, "Tell me! What's going on? Huimingtang actually pretended to obey and framed this general's woman. They look down on me, Chen Zhao, because I'm from a humble background, right?"
After all, he has been on the battlefield and killed people, and the majesty he possesses cannot be replaced by ordinary people.
County Magistrate Zhang knelt on the ground, not daring to stand up or speak.
Lou Ming knelt down and responded calmly.
"Miss Bai did instruct me to cure Jiang Jinyou."
"Don't tell me this is the result of your treatment!" Bai Luoxue clutched a handkerchief in her right hand and slammed the table angrily.
Uncle Jiang looked even more serious than before. Jiang Jing must hate her to death. Why did things turn out like this? She looked at the people coming over, and there was Jiusu and a few men she didn't know.
This little bitch.
He wants to get involved in everything.
If she is not discovered tonight, as long as she comes to visit her uncle tomorrow, she will definitely punish those bastards in Huimingtang. It's all Jiusu's fault!
Lou Ming laughed a few times, as if he was in a state of throwing away all hope.
"I have a few words to say to the general. Can you all go out first?" His eyes were gloomy, like a poisonous snake, and he was looking at everyone in the room fiercely, with a crazy feeling that the worst that could happen was that they would die together.
County Magistrate Zhang stood up and waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go quickly."
Jiusu stood at the door, looking at the darkening sky. She felt sleepy and leaned against the side. Her head felt like it was surrounded by a circle, and she felt painful and dizzy. She felt that there was a huge conspiracy looming over the Jiang family.
She believed that Bai Luoxue really wanted to cure her uncle.
Then why would the people from Hui Ming Tang prefer to offend Chen Zhao and harm his uncle?
Before, the prescriptions written by Huimingtang were also very strange.
Layers of doubts arose in her heart, making her brain extremely confused. Lou Ming must have left Chen Zhao alone to tell the truth about the person who harmed her uncle. Even Chen Zhao, a general, probably could not object.
No, we can't just sit there and wait for death.
She walked behind the Jiang family and whispered, "You guys go back first."
Jiang Jing refused, "No, not to mention seeking justice, leaving you alone is very dangerous. I don't agree."
"Trust me, okay?" Jiusu took a deep breath.
