The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

At this time, outside Songling County on the other side.

Ji Yinghuai wore a black gauze hat on his head to cover his face. He walked towards the city holding Heifeng's hand, carrying his identity documents that had been prepared long ago.

The gatekeeper took it and took a look at it, then asked him to take off his hat brim. Seeing that he was a plain-looking man, he did not pay much attention to him. Then he looked at the horse again, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, he stretched out his hand to let him go.

The document clearly stated his name, native place, address, etc. The name used was Ji Er, which was given to him by Jiang Shian, and the address was naturally Tanxi Village.

His men were waiting for him at the city gate, and this time they were heading to the military camp.

The matter has been investigated almost thoroughly. There is no wall that is impenetrable. Ji Zexu was able to instigate everyone at the beginning only by tempting people with money, fame and fortune.

Naturally, the people on his side could also use this method to make those who committed the assassination that night tell the truth and the mastermind.

He was quite stubborn at first, which delayed us for some time. Fortunately, the person above helped us, and his secret guards were not useless. They investigated the whole thing thoroughly.

There were a few loyal ones who swore to never tell the truth, but after being tortured, even those with strong bones could not stand it and had to confess honestly.

The reason for the betrayal was nothing more than fame and gain, but he didn't expect that these superficial things would blind his brother's heart. The one he had raised and cared for as his own brother, chose to betray him without hesitation that night, and even put him to death.

As for the other matter, it was about Jiang Shian's missing elder brother, whom he had previously asked his men to investigate, according to the news passed back by his subordinates.

Jiang Wenjing seemed to have appeared in Beijing recently, at the Lin Mansion.

No matter how he is, he is just the son of a wealthy businessman, and his wealth in Beijing is not even enough to be considered a big deal. How could such an ordinary person who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination appear in the Marquis' Mansion?

He didn't see anyone and he didn't know the reason. If it was really Brother Jiang Shian, then it would be good news. The boy would definitely be happy to know that.

Huang Qiuxiang cooked dinner by herself. Jiang Shian didn't even have a chance to help. Huang Fugui, the fat boy, was busy running around. He couldn't help at all and could only sit in front of the stove to light the fire and add firewood.

The pot at home had rusted a lot, so Jiang Shian put it aside and bought a ladle. This ladle is actually a frying pan, and it costs three taels of silver.

It is useful, but most people in the village cannot afford it. With three taels of silver, you can buy a lot of meat, a cooking pot, or a clay pot at home. You don't have to have a ladle.

Huang Qiuxiang had seen it in a shop in the town before. A ladle is a round iron pot with a handle, which is very convenient for cooking.

This time she was able to use it, so she was very careful when cooking.

There is no lotus root for sale yet, and the pork ribs are the best to make soup. Huang Qiuxiang asked Huang Fugui to go home and get two spring bamboo shoots, chop them into pieces and stew them in the pork ribs. By then, the pork ribs will still have the fresh fragrance of bamboo shoots.

The roast chicken was obviously cold after half a day, so it was wrapped with a layer of greaseproof paper. This greaseproof paper would not burn easily, so it was directly placed in the stove to roast. When you take it out later, it would not be burnt, and it would taste the same as a roast chicken just taken out of the fire.

Huang Fugui didn't know how many times he had swallowed his saliva tonight. There was so much meat and the roasted chicken. He had smelled the fragrance before but had never eaten it.

Huang Qiuxiang looked guilty and told Jiang Shian that he did not know how to live and should save the money he earned in case he had an emergency. Why did he buy so much meat and vegetables that he could not keep and had to eat them within two days?

She didn't bother to ask how much money Jiang Shian made. She felt relieved knowing that her friend's son was doing well and could take care of himself.

Jiang Shian picked out some scenes from his memory of the original owner's parents getting along with each other and told them to Huang Qiuxiang.

The original owner's mother was a person with her own ideas and opinions. She never felt that because she was a woman she had to be untalented, or that she had to be inferior to men and could only stay at home embroidering and cooking all day.

Not to mention the original owner's father, who was a complete wife-doting madman. Everything his wife said was right. After the family was no longer short of money, when he heard Bai Lanxiang say that she wanted to learn to read and write, except when he went out to do business in the town, he would bring some books to teach Bai Lanxiang how to read every time he came back.

Later, because he was too busy, he hired a husband who taught in school for Bai Lanxiang. If Bai Lanxiang had not said that she was too old, he would probably have sent his wife to school.

Except when he was traveling for business and transporting goods, he would always stick together with Bai Lanxiang at home and would follow her into the kitchen. He had no idea that he was the head of the family and that he should establish the dignity of a man.

Sometimes she would get jealous of the two brothers. When the original owner was five years old, he was very clingy and would stick to his mother to sleep every night.

Jiang Chengli was so disgusted that he pushed his youngest son to be taken care of by his eldest son, asking them not to disturb their time together.

When Jiang Shian said this, Huang Qiuxiang burst into laughter.

She put the food in the pot into the bowl, scooped a ladle of water from the side and poured it in. Taking advantage of this gap, she said to Jiang Shian: "This point has not changed at all. Your father has always protected his shortcomings since he was a child, especially your mother. He protects her like the apple of his eye."

As if recalling a funny thing from the past, Huang Qiuxiang's face wrinkles deepened with laughter. "There used to be a little gangster in our village. He was not idle in the village all day. One time, he said something unpleasant to your mother. When your father found out, he came to her house with a stick and beat him half to death. If it weren't for the village chief and others holding him back, he would have been taken to the authorities."

Talking about the past, she was in high spirits. While busy with the work at hand, she chatted with Jiang Shian.

Huang Fugui was listening at the side with great interest, eating two pieces of cakes that Jiang Shian brought him, and when he heard something interesting, he sat on the stool and laughed foolishly.

The food was ready and on the table, and then Huang Youcai came over carrying a piece of bacon and four or five eggs that he had just taken from the chicken coop.

The Huang family was in financial difficulty. Jiang Shian could tell that the meat was probably kept for festivals.

He didn't want to accept it at first, but Aunt Huang and the other two said that if he didn't accept it, they would go back home to eat it.

After he put the things away, the other three people in the kitchen nodded in satisfaction.

An hour ago, it was still very hot and humid, but now it is blowing hard. The sky is also dark, and it seems that it will not rain tomorrow. It is estimated that there will be a heavy rain tonight.

Jiang Shian closed the door and Huang Qiuxiang lit the oil lamp in the room.

The rice porridge is filled with shredded pork and green vegetables. You don’t need to add salt to the bowl and can just eat it with the spicy and tasty food on the table.
