Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child

"Ha ha……"

"I see!"

Then Mu Jiaojiao came back to her senses from her surprise, as if she had figured it out. She laughed and sighed.

Just ask yourself, what could possibly attract a man who possesses the talent to govern the world but is also a heretic? What could possibly interest him?

Of course it is even more unorthodox!

"He is indeed a black-bellied fox!"

"Oh! Thank you for the compliment, my lady!"

There was no trace of shyness on Jiang Jin's face. Instead, he accepted his wife's affirmation and praise with ease and without shame.

Mu Jiaojiao could only sigh in her heart that her man was really becoming more and more shameless!

The moon was at its zenith, and the candlelight flickered in the room. After Mu Jiaojiao and her husband finished discussing these things, they fell asleep in each other's arms!

And on this alluring moonlit night, the Meng family in Yudu, the mother's home of Princess De, was filled with the smell of blood. A massacre was taking place, and the blood almost dyed the bright white moon red.

Then the fire started, which attracted the attention of the people around. Jingzhao Yin Feng Gui didn't even have his clothes on yet, and he rushed to the scene with his men as soon as possible.

**

The next day, dawn broke.

There were bursts of thunder in the sky and heavy rain, which woke up Jiang Jin and Mu Jiaojiao who were sleeping in each other's arms.

Jiang Jin hugged his sweet and soft wife, and faintly heard the sound of rain outside the window. He bent down and kissed the tip of Mu Jiaojiao's nose, then stood up very quietly, walked to the window wearing a cloak, and pushed it open.

An Yi was standing by the window. When he heard the noise, he turned around and saw that it was Jiang Jin. He quickly bowed his head and then reported to Jiang Jin everything that happened in the Meng Mansion last night.

"It's said that except for the Princess De who accompanied Prince De to Linzhou, and the wife of the Minister of Personnel, Su Changxun, Meng, everyone in the Meng Mansion, including Grand Tutor Meng Changqiao and Chief Censor Meng Hemian, were killed. Not a single one of the 120 members of the Meng family, young or old, survived!"

When Jiang Jin heard the news, even though he prided himself on being cunning and calm, he was still shocked for a moment. He had never expected that there was someone in Yudu who had the courage to openly assassinate an imperial official and kill an entire family.

"Have you found any trace of the murderer?"

Jiang Jin came back to his senses from the shock, then his face turned gloomy as he looked at An Yi outside the window and asked.

"Last night, An Si secretly went to investigate and found that several men in black had died. The symptoms of the bodies were very similar to those of the men in black who broke into the palace that night. It is basically certain that they are the same group."

Jiang Jin thought of the night when he bled from all seven orifices and the poisonous insects crawling out of his facial features, as well as the investigations in recent days and the few insignificant scapegoats found by Jingzhao Yin, and his eyes turned cold.

"Xianfei Consort He Yi Wang, this is a bit too arrogant!"

At this moment, Mu Jiaojiao, who had already been awakened by the sound of rain and the low conversation of the two people, was not sleepy. She casually put on an outer coat, walked behind Jiang Jin, and said in a bad tone.

She really didn't expect that a concubine and a prince would have the courage to kill officials and exterminate entire families in the capital of Dayu, at the feet of the emperor.

"Madam, why don't you get some sleep?"

When Jiang Jin heard Mu Jiaojiao's words, the coldness in his eyes faded. He turned around and saw the thinly dressed person. He took off his cloak and put it on Mu Jiaojiao. He also straightened his collar and spoke gently.

"I can't sleep. The rain is so noisy."

"What on earth do these virtuous concubines and Prince Yi rely on to dare to act so brazenly?"

Mu Jiaojiao raised her head and obediently enjoyed Jiang Jin's care. Then she frowned slightly, expressing her confusion about the radical actions of Concubine Xian and Prince Yi.

"Madam, there are almost no people in Dayu who are good at Gu, and even fewer who can see it!"

"Using Gu to train death squads is both loyal and useful. Furthermore, it's fast and requires little effort. They're perfect for being executioners."

Jiang Jin reached out and touched Mu Jiaojiao's forehead, then analyzed rationally and patiently answered Mu Jiaojiao's questions.

"As for being so blatant, I think they are relying on my father."

Mu Jiaojiao still felt that Prince Yi's faction was too ruthless. "Are they relying on Emperor Xuanhe's favor? But the emperor's favor is fleeting. What confidence do they have that Emperor Xuanhe will always favor Consort Xian and Prince Yi?"

Jiang Jin was thoughtful when he heard this. He really didn't understand it clearly. Even though the virtuous concubine had occupied a certain position in Emperor Xuanhe's heart over the years, their actions had already challenged the emperor's majesty. Based on his understanding of Emperor Xuanhe, he was afraid that after knowing the truth, he would definitely not tolerate the virtuous concubine and her son.

Could it be that Concubine Xian still had the confidence that she could keep the matter of the poisonous insect a secret from Emperor Xuanhe for her entire life, and that she could completely exonerate herself from the crime of murder and extermination of the entire family?

"Also, how did the Meng family provoke Consort Xian and Prince Yi? Why did they become so ruthless?"

Mu Jiaojiao felt that Concubine Xian took the risk of annihilating the entire Meng family. There must be some reason behind this that forced them to resort to such a desperate measure.

"Cangzhou Governor Chen Mu has always been involved in military pay, and this time he withheld a lot more than usual. Zijin noticed this, and our people later discovered that the military pay went to the virtuous concubine in the palace, the empress dowager, and Prince Yi's mansion."

"Jiang Mo previously secretly leaked a copy of the evidence to Su Changxun, and the Su family then secretly handed the matter over to Meng Hemian, the Inspector-General. It seems Meng Hemian made a mistake while handling the matter, and Prince Yi's followers discovered it. Concubine Xian and Prince Yi then went all out and exterminated the entire Meng family."

Jiang Jin thought about recent events and the relationship between the Meng family and King Hede of the Su family. Although he didn't see the whole picture, he analyzed it to Mu Jiaojiao pretty well.

"Power dazzles the eyes, wealth destroys humanity!"

Mu Jiaojiao was silent for a moment after hearing this, then sighed. This power struggle is a life-or-death struggle. The consciences of people like Concubine Xian and Prince Yi are all black.

"My lady is right. People like the virtuous concubine have long since lost all kindness!"

Jiang Jin nodded in agreement, then looked out the window at the heavy rain and said worriedly,

"But what I'm worried about now is whether my second brother from Linzhou will become desperate after hearing this news."

It seems that things are about to change in Yudu!
