Nian Huajiao: The cold-faced treacherous minister spoiled her unconditionally after breaking his vow

Mother Cao stood trembling in fear in the corridor, keeping watch.

An hour later, the man came out of the house neatly dressed, jumped onto the roof and disappeared.

Mother Cao was so frightened that she sat down on the ground and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.

It's crazy!

The next day at 5 a.m., in the Jinyiwei dungeon.

Xu Yuan, Chen Fei and others knelt on the ground trembling.

Lu Jinan looked at the people in front of him with murderous intent.

Bai Qing was squatting on the ground, turning over a corpse, and said, "He had been dead for about three hours. There was a very thin poison needle in the back of his head, which shot directly into his brain and killed him on the spot."

He stood up, glanced at the two people kneeling in the front, gave them a look that said "May you be lucky", and went to wash his hands.

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes at him, looking distressed.

What is all this about?

After the assassination a month ago and the intermittent clues, the person who sent the message was finally caught, and Qin Yu who was suspected of leaking the information was also arrested.

I originally thought that by following the clues, I might be able to find the person behind the scenes who was colluding with Fujian Governor Chen Yonggui.

Now, not only did he fail to pry open his mouth, but he was also killed...

All the hard work over the past month has been in vain.

"Did anyone come here last night?" Lu Jinan's voice was so cold that it was devoid of any warmth.

Fade Chen thought about it again and again, and said affirmatively: "My Lord, no one has been here. Just in case, we have been guarding here for the past few days."

Xu Yuan: Don’t take me with you, without me…

"That's strange. This needle can't have gotten into the person by itself." Bai Qing added casually.

The people kneeling on the ground lowered their heads even more.

Every corner of the dungeon was checked, and there was nothing unusual.

Lu Jinan always felt something was wrong.

He looked around, not missing anything, and finally fixed his eyes on the person tied to the rack...

Qin Yu was a fifth-rank Shangshulang, a low official position. He was mainly responsible for drafting, conveying, and processing various documents of the Shangshutai.

This time he was caught purely because of his own slip of the tongue.

That day he and his colleagues went to drink and visit a brothel. After three rounds of drinks, his mouth seemed to have taken over the magpie's nest and driven away the brain, and he started to talk nonsense.

During the dinner, someone mentioned that the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Lord Lu, was assassinated a few days ago and the emperor angrily rebuked the court officials.

He muttered drunkenly, "The clerk of the Jinyiwei who went to Fujian on business... How can we just make random guesses about who was behind the assassination?"

The second half of the sentence obviously expresses sympathy for Lord Ling.

As a result, Chen Fei, who was watching them, heard it and was thrown into the dungeon the next day.

Qin Yu trembled all over as he was stared at by Lu Jinan's eagle-like eyes.

He didn't expect that after a night of drinking, he would end up in the Jinyiwei dungeon. He had been here for two days and couldn't stand it any longer...

Lu Jinan withdrew his gaze and continued to stand there quietly, thinking about something.

Maybe from the beginning of catching Qin Yu, we fell into someone else's trap...

Poisoning the person who delivered the message seemed to be to protect Qin Yu, but in fact it was to confuse him, making him more certain that Qin Yu was the one who leaked the message.

So I kept circling around him, looking for clues.

I'm afraid Qin Yu himself doesn't know that he was the one who leaked the information?

Make a feint to the east and attack in the west. The one to be protected should be others...

The people kneeling on the ground dared not utter a word or move.

Having followed Lord Lu for so long, I am very familiar with his aura.

Lord Lu wants to kill someone.

"Each of you will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane. I have to go to court tomorrow." The latter sentence was said to Bai Qing.

Originally, his wounds did not require rest.

However, in order to save a certain "courageous" benefactor that day, the scab-covered wound burst open. Bai Qing was furious again.

Bai Qing didn't dare to refute him at this time. He nodded quickly, put on his medicine box and followed him.

The people on the ground breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, after breakfast, Jiang Luo went to Chunhuayuan to pay his respects to Qin.

Jiang Zhou only took away Qin's housekeeper rights and confined her to her home, but she was still free in Chunhua Courtyard.

As Qin's daughter in name, Jiang Luo still had to go and pay her respects. However, the first few times she went, Qin refused to see her on the pretext of recuperating from illness.

Today is contrary to the norm.

Mother Cao said with a distant smile, "Madam, please invite the young lady in."

Jiang Luo took Rendong into the main house.

"Luo'er came to see mother. I wonder if mother is feeling better now?" she asked while bowing.

Jiang Yin and Jiang An were both there at this time.

When Jiang An saw her, he stood up with a "thump".

He pointed at Jiang Luo and said angrily: "Who asked you to be so kind? You are not welcome here. As long as you don't come, my mother will get better faster."

"Yeah, who knows what you are planning. You have made my second sister into that state, and now my mother is under house arrest because of you. Jiang Luo, you are such a jinx!" Jiang Yin said hatefully.

Jiang Luo was really so angry that he laughed.

What bad luck so early in the morning!

She glanced at Qin and said, "Whoever harmed my second sister knows it well. No one should put the blame on me for something I didn't do."

She glanced at Jiang Huai again: "Who pushed the fourth sister into the water... Sixth brother, you have to ask your sister, don't you hate evil? Your sister almost became a murderer..."

After that, he turned around and left.

Jiang Huai's questioning voice came from behind: "Sister, what did she mean by that? Did you push Fourth Sister into the water?"

"Don't listen to her nonsense. Do you believe her or me? I am your real sister. Don't be fooled by her." Jiang Yin explained anxiously.

Qin said to stop him: "Okay, stop talking..."

Jiang Luo pulled up a smile. Do you want to make me unhappy?

Then don't be happy everyone...

She thought again that Qin looked more radiant today than ever before.

But since she was confined, Jiang Zhou has never been to Chunhuayuan...

After leaving Chunhua Courtyard, we went to Qiu Shui Courtyard.

She wanted to go out and buy a "maid".

Walking through the corridor and past the small pond, the footsteps of the two startled the koi in the pond.

As soon as she arrived at the main house door, Mingcui opened the curtain and greeted her respectfully, "The eldest lady is here, please come in."

Jiang Luo nodded and walked into the room as she opened the curtain.

"Hello, Second Aunt." She bowed.

Liu put down the account book in her hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite. I heard that there is a maid in your yard who is not well behaved?"

Jiang Luo's eyes flickered, and he replied, "Yes, Luo'er came here today for this matter. I thought I wouldn't bother Second Aunt with this little matter, so I sold them yesterday."

Liu nodded and said nothing.

Originally, the indentures of the maids and servants in the various courtyards of the mansion were all in the hands of their masters, and it was up to their masters to decide whether to beat, kill, or sell them.

"In that case, you can't be short of servants in your yard. Second Aunt will give you..."
