Chapter 264: Chain Schemes
The next morning, just after the Yin hour,
a little sunlight appeared in the distant sky, and Jiang Fengze and Xiao Lanyi rode on horses to lead the brothers from Liaodong Camp.
The Jiang family stood at the door of the house, repeatedly admonishing them, hugging them again and again, and then they were willing to look away and watch them leave side by side.
When the villagers learned that Fengze was leaving, many came to see him off.
But when Liu Pozi and her husband hurried over, Fengze and his friends had already walked out of the two miles.
"Where are they? Brother Jiang San and his friends, they haven't already set out, right?" Ju Jiao lingered in the quilt and was finally woken up by her mother.
The villagers gathered at the gate of Jiang's house, chatting in the morning glow.
Seeing that the mother and daughter had just arrived, Old Zhang ate a vegetarian cake and joked, "It's so late. Fengze must have been there a long time ago. Why are you two so late? Could it be that Jujiao is lazy again and can't get up?" When
the villagers heard this, they couldn't help laughing. The whole village knew that Jujiao was a lazy girl.
Jujiao was hit by the words, her face was red and she didn't say a word. She just looked at the direction of the village entrance and pouted with regret.
The villagers laughed for a few more sentences, then went home to carry the farm tools and went to the fields to do farm work.
After returning home and having breakfast, Feng wiped Xiao Nuobao's mouth, and coaxed the yawning girl to go to bed for a good sleep.
Then she got up and put on her shoes, ready to go to Xianquanju.
"There are fewer guests now, so there are only seven or eight rooms. You don't have to be busy, second wife, and you don't have to make the pickled meat. Just stay at home and take care of Nuobao and Chun'er. Mother will just go and take a look."
Li Qiqiao nodded and took up the needle and thread and embroidery cloth, planning to embroider a pattern to make a shoe upper for Nuobao.
Feng was about to go to Xianquanju after she walked out of the gate.
Unexpectedly, she saw two servants from the Xiao family rushing back to the village.
Feng was surprised and followed them.
She remembered that they had sent Chunniang back to Beijing not long ago. Why did they come back to report after so many days? I hope something went wrong.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Xiao had already woken up. She had just finished her meal and was combing her hair and putting on makeup.
She sat on the couch, holding a gold-encrusted jadeite phoenix-shaped hairpin in her hand, and glanced out the door.
"You two should answer outside the door."
"Have you sent Chun Niang back home? Have you taken care of her?"
The two servants bowed and said respectfully through the door, "Madam, when we sent Chun Niang back home, she threw herself at your feet and cried bitterly, and kept kowtowing, so your heart softened and you didn't want to take her life at first."
Mrs. Xiao curled her lips, not surprised at all, "Humph, my poor son is just like this, he can't stand these vixens!"
Mrs. Xiao paused with worry while holding the makeup box.
However, Old Lady Xiao patted her on the shoulder, and said to the outside with a calm look, "Go on."
The two servants couldn't help laughing, "Although the old master is reluctant, fortunately you have a plan, so we went to find the youngest son of the Fang family in advance, pretending to be someone sent by Aunt Chun, and asked him to wait secretly at the back door of our house in the middle of the night."
"The boy surnamed Fang is an idiot. Not only did he really go, but he was caught by the two of us as soon as he arrived and thrown into Aunt Chun's yard. When the old master heard the noise and rushed over, he happened to see him clinging to Aunt Chun's door and window and talking to her."
"The master misunderstood at the time and thought that the two of them dared to have an affair. He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. That night, he ordered people to take a stick and beat Aunt Chun to death, and also beat up Fang!" The servant said with a beaming face.
After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao narrowed her eyes with satisfaction, and a hint of sophistication was revealed in her black and white eyes.
It was expected.
Thanks to the help of her stupid son, it was solved quite satisfactorily.
Mrs. Xiao realized it later and slowly turned her head and said, "Mother... why are there so many things? It turns out that you have already prepared a backup plan?"
Mrs. Xiao chuckled and nodded, "Otherwise, if it weren't for this, how could I let Chun Niang return to the capital."
If you want Chun Niang to shut up, cutting her tongue is not the best way.
But if Chunniang was killed that day, Master Xiao would be upset if he couldn't find his concubine afterwards, and would secretly send people to investigate.
Once the time came, the Fang family boy would come to the mansion again, continue to demand money, and reveal the past.
Master Xiao would definitely believe that what the Fang family said was true, and Chunniang was silenced, then Madam Xiao and her son would be in trouble.
Mrs. Xiao looked calm, but her tone was full of calculation. "In fact, how to deal with Chunniang is not the most important thing. The Fang family is the most difficult to deal with. They have our handle, just like a firecracker, it may go off one day."
"That's why I want to accuse Chunniang of adultery. As long as people think that the youngest son of the Fang family and Chunniang really have an affair, then whatever they say in the future will be regarded as revenge and rumors, and it will not be so credible."
Mrs. Xiao never thought of this. She widened her eyes and her eyes flashed with gratitude.
Standing not far from the door, Mrs. Feng also heard it clearly and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
What a powerful old lady!
No wonder Mrs. Xiao only cut off Chunniang's tongue that day, but insisted on sending Chunniang back to her house to deal with her.
I thought that the rules were too many for a rich family, but I never thought that it was for the sake of making a good move.
In this way, Chunniang was killed without leaving any trace, and two birds with one stone were achieved.
Feng suddenly felt lucky that she had promised to let Fengmiao worship Old Lady Xiao as her master. No matter how long he could learn from such a promising old lady, it would definitely be Fengmiao who would gain.
The day passed quickly. As the sun was setting, the Jiang family called Dean Wei to have dinner, and talked about Fengze at the dinner table.
As for Jiang Fengze, he worked non-stop all the way and finally arrived at Changbai City before night fell.
The military camp in Changbai City never thought that there would be people who were not afraid of death and took the initiative to come to fight.
Although Mu Yihan didn't need them, he was relieved to hear that, so he ordered to check the people in Liaodong Camp, and let them in if there was nothing wrong.
However, as soon as they arrived at the camp, Jiang Fengze and Xiao Lanyi were surprised.
They saw that the Black Family Army of the Mu family had been well prepared, wearing black iron armor, coupled with the majestic aura, which was jaw-dropping.
Jiang Fengze looked at the hundreds of people and couldn't help but feel ashamed.
He was too embarrassed to show off, so he just said that he would follow the arrangements, and then he took his brothers to settle down. By the way, he did not forget to hand Fengjing's sketchbook to Qingxuan.
"Qingxuan, I'm afraid I didn't explain it clearly in the last letter. This picture shows the whole process of our discovery of the secret agents from Xibei. I don't know if it can be used, so I'll give it to you first."
Qingxuan took it with both hands, and then went into the imperial teacher's tent with his head held high.
Mu Yihan raised his eyelids, thought about it, and was still somewhat interested.
"The careful arrangements for this Xibei incident are a lesson for us. The more we understand, the better we can prevent it in the future." After saying that, he raised his hand and took it.
As soon as he opened the cover, Mu Yihan was stunned. He
was so confused that his eyes almost became uneven!
O_o!
He didn't know that he had taken the sketchbook upside down. What he opened at this time was not Fengze's report.
It was a comic strip that Fengjing made for Xiao Nuobao!
On the milky white rice paper, a chubby little baby with two buns, sometimes bent his waist to secretly conjure up a bunch of chickens, ducks, and geese, and sometimes coiled up his short legs as if to be counted by people.
The round face, big pearl-like eyes, and naive little expression are simply rare in the world. Mu Yihan couldn't help pinching the corner of his clothes.
Mu Yihan narrowed his eyes and shook his head funny, not knowing what he was looking at.
But I couldn't help myself and turned the pages one by one. The more I read, the more interesting it became!
