Chapter 65 The accident happened very strangely

Jiang Jiu cried out in shock: "What? Chang Zhili was burned to death? Mingyue was also seriously injured? Let's go and take a look."

After all, it was Jiang County Minister who raised her, so she still had to care about him when something like this happened.

Moreover, the last time Jiang Mingyue came to see her, the two of them had an unhappy quarrel. Jiang Jiu had always wanted to visit Jiang Liu, but was delayed due to various things.

It would be hard to justify not going to see it now.

Jiang Jiu simply picked up some medicinal herbs and brought Xia Zhi to the Chang family.

This house was rented by Jiang Mingyue in Suzhou. It caught fire and the owner was so angry that he stomped his feet in front of the ruins. The whole yard was gone and someone was killed.

The bodies of Chang Zhili and the old lady of the Chang family were placed in the yard, covered with white cloth. Looking from a distance, the arms exposed outside were all black and charred.

Surrounded by police officers, County Magistrate Jiang sighed repeatedly.

Jiang Jiu came forward and said, "Uncle, how is Mingyue?"

County Magistrate Jiang sighed even more angrily: "After she was rescued, she was burned beyond recognition and was sent to the hospital."

Jiang Jiu looked at the dark, burnt room and felt like something was wrong.

Why did Chang Zhili and his mother die? In Jiang Mingyue's previous life, Chang Zhili passed the imperial examination and ranked third. Will Jiang Mingyue let it go after his death?

Jiang Jiu had never seen anyone who was reborn to live such a miserable life.

I always feel like this isn't the way it should be.

Seeing that the officers were checking the scene, she had no intention of interfering.

"Sir, we found the source of the fire. It was the candle in the study..."

The officers therefore deduced that Chang Zhili had been reading by candlelight when he was asleep, and had fallen asleep on the table because he was sleepy and had knocked over a candle nearby, thus starting the fire.

Next to the study was Old Lady Chang's room, which also suffered the disaster.

As for Jiang Mingyue's room, because Old Madam Chang didn't want her to delay her son, she let her and Chang Zhili live in separate rooms, and she was safe and sound.

Jiang Mingyue's injuries were caused by fighting the fire.

When the night watchman came to report that he had discovered the fire and asked everyone to come and put it out, Jiang Mingyue had already fainted. If they had not discovered it in time, she would have been engulfed by the fire.

County Magistrate Jiang will take care of the rest, so Jiang Jiu no longer cares about it.

Then he went to the clinic, and as soon as he entered, he saw Jiang Liu guarding a "mummy"-like person wrapped in bandages, crying non-stop.

"Aunt, is this the moon?"

Jiang Jiu's tears also fell: "How did it become like this?"

Jiang Liu and Jiang Jiu hugged each other and cried for a while, and Jiang Liu began to comfort her.

"At least her life was saved, but her appearance has changed. Alas, I'm afraid I'll never be able to get married in this lifetime."

Jiang Jiu sighed: "That's fine, it's okay, aunt, I will find expensive herbs for Mingyue to restore her former beauty."

Jiang Jiu handed the precious medicinal materials he brought to Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu patted her hands and said lovingly, "Don't worry about us. You are now in the prince's mansion. Serve the prince well. As long as you can please the prince, your uncle will also be taken care of for your sake."

"To be honest with you, the prefect has recommended your uncle to the court as the governor of Suzhou. The former governor will go to the capital with the prefect to report on his work. If the prefect is promoted, the former governor will also stay in the capital."

Is it necessary for the governor of Suzhou to have such a big personnel change?

Jiang Jiu intuitively felt that the changes here were closely related to the Ninth Prince and the imperial court.

It seems that Jiang Mingyue was injured, but County Mayor Jiang was promoted instead. I don't know whether I should congratulate him or sympathize with him.

With mixed feelings, Jiang Jiu sat with Jiang Liu for a while before returning to the palace.

It was not until he arrived in Beijing that Jiang Jiu understood Jiang Liu's conspiracy. This is a story for later.

What Jiang Jiu didn't know at this time was that Jiang Mingyue had already dressed up and left Sucheng under the escort of the escort agency to go to Beijing to "recognize her father."

It’s still a long time before Jiang Jiuli arrives in Beijing.

When Jiang Jiu returned to the mansion, Mudan quickly came to greet her and looked at her with a worried look: "Madam, I heard that the prince has been staying in the assassin's room for most of the day, and even Princess Qiyang was alarmed."

This means that Jiang Jiu is going to fall out of favor.

Jiang Jiusi didn't care at all and advised her: "Don't follow others and talk nonsense. What the prince wants to do is not something you and I can control. The palace has strict rules and regulations. Be careful with your words and actions."

Mudan sighed and nodded: "Is everything alright with Madam's family?"

Jiang Jiu didn't care much either: "It's okay, don't worry about me. I asked you to check the accounts with Madam Zhao, how is it going?"

Mudan frowned, "Not so good. Over the years, more than two-thirds of our customers have left, and the amount of money coming in is not that much. Aunt Zhao keeps very detailed accounts, and I'm learning how to do it."

Jiang Jiu patted her shoulder and said, "Study hard, and I will hand over these jobs to you later. Being an accountant is much better than being a concubine of the prince in name only."

Mudan smiled sincerely: "Peony asked me to ask Madam if her snack shop is still open?"

Doing a profitable business and keeping the money in your own hands is better than anything else.

"Open, ask her to find Xiao Yimo, and ask him to find a place for the dim sum shop. There are two streets in the East and West Markets of Sucheng, both of which are shops of Yiye Pianzhou. The land deed and the house deed are in Xiao Yimo's hands."

Mudan opened her mouth in surprise: "A whole street?"

The obsession of a time traveler is to buy houses, land, and real estate.

No matter how much the business is taken away, the real estate cannot be taken away. These house deeds and land deeds were found when Jiang Jiu and Aunt Qian first found Aunt Zhao.

When Jiang Jiu met Qin Yuan, Qin Yuan handed these to Jiang Jiu.

The key is that these commercial streets are not only in Suzhou, but every larger city has one.

There was a thick stack of documents scattered all over the country of Li. Not to mention Jiang Jiu, even Xiao Yimo was dumbfounded.

"Xiaojiu, your grandmother is much richer than you."

Otherwise, how could a lone boat be called the richest man in Jiangnan?

In addition to the commercial streets, there are also farmlands, with hundreds of acres in each place.

In these cities, the tax of a lone boat accounts for more than half of the city's total.

The more Jiang Jiu watched, the more shocked he became, so he guessed that Princess Qi Yang's visit this time might be targeting Yi Ye Gu Zhou.

"Mudan, if anyone wants to open a shop in the future and thinks they can make money and live well, they can go to Xiao Yimo and ask him to help choose a location."

Mudan was very happy: "Then we sisters will be blessed in the future, but, Madam, Mudan must follow you in the future. Wherever you go, I will go there too."

Jiang Jiu returned to the courtyard of Prince Qi's mansion. As expected, Lu Ming was anxiously looking into the room. When he saw Jiang Jiu coming back, he hurriedly came forward.

"Madam is back. Go and persuade the prince. He hasn't come out yet. Miss Niaoniao has lost her memory..."

Niaoniao was brought back to the palace, and Doctor Cao Yu treated her.
