In the middle of the night, Jiang Fengyuan called his two sons.
"Mrs. Li's brother Li Ping has been hiding in Shengjing for the past two years. He doesn't go out and doesn't socialize. The Li family announced that Li Ping's old illness has relapsed and treatment has been ineffective."
Jiang Yuanyuan looked serious and said, "Why do you say he is dead when he is still alive?"
Unless Li Ping is hiding something.
Jiang Fengyuan: "All those who knew about the incident disappeared within a short period of one year. It is possible that the Duke of Anguo and the person behind the scenes worked together to do it."
It was to prevent the news from leaking out, so that the Chen family could return to Shengjing through the mouths of these people.
After all, only the dead won't tell others.
"Dad, why don't we arrest Li Ping now?" Jiang Yuanyuan was anxious.
"No hurry, the scientific examination is more important, you take the exam first."
"Dad," Jiang Yuansheng's eyes were solemn, "time is running out. It's too late." If the people of Duke Anguo knew about this, Li Ping would not live long.
"My second brother has encountered dozens of assassination attempts in just half a month. It's time for the Chen family to return to Beijing."
Moreover, even without these few days, he could still take the top spot.
"Okay, tomorrow Yuan Sheng will go find Li Ping, and Yuan Er will continue to guard the Anguo Mansion and the fireworks alley. If there is any movement, send someone to report immediately."
…
The next day, Jiang Yuansheng went out.
Jiang Yuanxi roughly guessed something.
"Brother, go." She stretched out her hand for a hug.
Jiang Yuansheng squatted down and pinched his sister's little face.
"Yuan Xi, my brother has something important to do. Can I come back to accompany you?"
Jiang Yuanxi shook his head like a rattle.
[My brother is going to check on Madam Li, so I will go too. I am very capable.]
Jiang Yuansheng was surprised that his sister actually knew what he was going to do.
In that case, you might as well take it with you.
He sent someone to tell his mother, then he carried Jiang Yuanxi out.
According to the information we have obtained, in order to avoid being discovered, Mrs. Li arranged Li Ping to live in a small alley not far from the Li family's home.
The alley is run-down, and this is the only shop that looks relatively tidy.
"Boom boom boom."
There were three knocks on the door, and footsteps approached from inside.
The door opened, Li Ping looked at the stranger outside, and immediately closed the door.
Jiang Yuansheng knocked on the door: "Li Ping, I know it's you."
Li Ping inside the door was panicked. He recognized Jiang Yuansheng, the most talented man in Shengjing, but he was also that man's grandson.
He had been hiding for so long, but he was finally found. Thinking of something, he took some silver and opened the cellar.
As soon as he opened it, he heard a loud bang and the door flew past him and hit the ground.
A man and a small group of people slowly approached.
Jiang Yuansheng looked at the door panel embedded in the wall and said softly: "Yuanxi, be gentler next time." It is better to bring his sister with him to avoid all kinds of trouble.
"I know, brother."
Li Ping's eyes were filled with fear and he stepped back repeatedly.
"Please let me go, sir. I really didn't know about that. Please spare my life!"
Jiang Yuansheng walked slowly to Li Ping.
He helped the man up and said, "Mr. Li, don't worry. I'm here to save your life."
An hour later, the carriage quietly drove out of the alley.
Not long after, a man in black appeared here. When he saw the dilapidated doors and windows, and the footprints in the distance, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Brother, not long after you left, someone else came to the courtyard. He was wearing black clothes and had his face covered, so it was hard to tell who he was."
After hearing this, Li Ping collapsed to the ground.
[It is so pitiful for Li Ping that the teacher he is so proud of wants to kill his students. 】
Jiang Yuansheng opened his mouth and said, "Li Ping, Duke Anguo instructed your fellow apprentices to frame the Chen family. Don't you want to avenge your fellow apprentices?"
Li Ping clenched his fists and his face was filled with pain.
After his fellow apprentices left, he managed to survive, but he couldn't sleep well every night.
"You are the grandson of Duke Anguo, how can I guarantee that you will not kill me!"
If he fails to report it and his sister is implicated, he will never rest in peace.
"I'm alone now, you can kill me if you want." After saying that, he raised his head and closed his eyes.
Jiang Yuansheng was helpless. He tried to persuade the other party all the way, but the other party just didn't believe him.
If the grandson orders people to report his grandfather, who would believe it?
Jiang Yuanxi held the milk jug and took a big sip.
"You, have a son." She pointed at Li Ping lying on the ground.
"Impossible!" Li Ping suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Jiang Yuanxi said tenderly: "Three years ago, in the fireworks alley, there was a girl named Yin'er."
Li Ping showed an expression of disbelief, and then thought of something.
[Although Li Ping was a bit absurd, he was still a good person. Before leaving, he gave all his money to a prostitute in the red-light district. There was a girl named Mu, who was grateful and secretly gave birth to a son for him.]
[There are so many silly girls in this world. ]
Li Ping covered her face and cried, "How can you let her go?"
Jiang Yuansheng knew that Li Ping had misunderstood, but as long as he could achieve his goal, it would be fine.
"Mr. Li, don't worry. Just do as we say when the time comes."
…
The spring examination is here.
Chen started burning incense early in the morning.
Jiang Yuanxi looked at the incense filling the hall and smacked his lips secretly.
The smoke was thick and the statue of Wenquxingjun could not be seen clearly.
Jiang Yuancheng stared blankly: "Isn't it possible that mother wants to order a small Buddhist temple?"
She doesn’t know whether to light it or not, but is Wenquxingjun sure that he won’t be choked by the smoke?
The carriage slowly stopped outside the Imperial Examination Hall.
The whole family is here today.
Chen held her son's hand and said, "Yuan Sheng, Yuan Er, calm down and don't be nervous."
Jiang Yuanyuan: They were not nervous, but mom seemed more nervous than them.
"Xin Niang, Yuan Sheng and Yuan Yuan are the most hardworking. They will definitely be admitted to high school!" Jiang Fengyuan comforted.
Chen's palms were sweating and she felt panicky.
"Mom, don't worry." Jiang Yuanxi imitated his father and gently patted Chen's hand.
"Brothers, high school!"
[My eldest brother is a suave and talented man. The top scholar must be my eldest brother. As for the third brother. ]
Jiang Yuanyuan was looking forward to his sister praising him.
[It is better not to hurt the self-esteem of the third brother. Some people are not born to be good at studying. ] Instead, they are born to be good at doing business, and the third brother is one of them.
A natural business talent.
[How about I comfort my third brother? ]
Jiang Yuanyuan thought to himself: "Please, sister, please don't say anything."
Jiang Yuanxi looked around and then walked up to Jiang Yuanyuan.
She sighed, raised her head and held her forehead, "You, just do your best." After saying this, she turned her back as if she couldn't bear to watch.
Jiang Yuanyuan was completely devastated and his back was bent a lot.
Jiang Yuansheng pursed his lips, patted Jiang Yuanyuan, and pointed in a direction.
Jiang Yuanyuan looked over dejectedly.
But he saw that the Minister of Works had the same attitude. He was teaching his silly son a lesson, and it looked like he was copying Yuan Xi's movements.
Yuan Xi would do whatever the Minister of Works did.
On the other side, "Son, if you can't pass the exam, let's go home and let Dad support you."
This way.
Jiang Yuanxi: "Son, bah, brother, if I can't pass the exam, let's go home and you support me." She patted Jiang Yuanyuan's trouser leg.
The Jiang family understood.
