Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child
Chapter 90: The Hand That Stirs Up the Storm Behind the Scenes
When Mu Jiaojiao came out of the room, she saw Liu Lizheng and Meng He sitting and talking at the bamboo table in the yard.
"Uncle Lizheng, why are you here today?"
Mu Jiaojiao walked over and sat down, then poured herself a cup of tea.
"Girl Jiaojiao, there was such a big commotion last night and this morning that the villagers all stayed indoors and didn't dare go out. I'm going to check on each family until the situation calms down."
"Well, Uncle Village Chief has worked hard. Everything is fine here at our house."
After hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao felt that Liu Lizheng was a good person, and then she told him some details of the situation, including that the bandits were brought here by Widow Li.
After hearing this, Liu Lizheng was so angry that his hands were shaking. After chatting for a while, Liu Lizheng said that he would go to the next house to take a look, especially Li Ruhua's mother-in-law's house.
Not long after Liu Lizheng left, Wushuang came back.
"Greetings, Madam. Is the Master here?"
As soon as he entered the door, he greeted Mu Jiaojiao, then looked around. He was a little surprised that he didn't see the master who was clinging to his mistress beside Mu Jiaojiao.
But his face always had no expression, so Mu Jiaojiao couldn't tell anything.
"I'm studying in the study with Zhao Zai'er."
Mu Jiaojiao motioned him to get up, then pointed to the study. The man was probably mad at her and went to the study in a rage to find his eldest son.
"Yes, then I will go to see the master."
After Wushuang finished his greetings, he respectfully went to the study to look for his master.
Mu Jiaojiao was thinking about the problem of growing pepper seedlings. In the weather in September and October, a greenhouse is still needed for growing pepper seedlings. Not to mention a proper greenhouse, at least a small imitation greenhouse is needed.
After thinking about it, Mu Jiaojiao decided to do it right away. She would ask someone to help build one tomorrow. If it really doesn't work, there are so many people in her family, so she could ask a few of them to go out and do the work first.
*
In the study.
Jiang Jin wasn't angry with Mu Jiaojiao, he was just still digesting the shocking news his wife had told him.
My wife and I are not from the same generation, right?
Is my wife resurrected from the dead?
……
Having said that, it’s a good thing that I don’t really believe in those weird things, otherwise I would really think that my wife is a ghost.
In the final analysis, it was his wife who believed in him, otherwise how could she have told him such a big secret?
Just then, there was a knock on the study door.
"Knock Knock Knock..."
"Enter."
Jiang Jin probably guessed that it was Wushuang who had returned. Mu Jiaojiao usually didn't knock on the door when entering the study, but just walked in naturally.
"No need to be polite, just speak."
Jiang Jin saw him about to kowtow and stopped him, motioning for him to explain the situation.
"Master, we've interrogated everyone, and the others are basically clueless. The head of Niutou Mountain said the knife was bought by the second-in-command of the village.
An unexpected discovery was that someone named Zhou Qi said that they would occasionally capture some people on Niutou Mountain. Every time they found a man on the mountain, the second-in-command would capture and kill him, while the women would be left behind. According to Zhou Qi, those men might not have died.
Moreover, Zhou Qi later confessed that the second-in-command would disappear for a period of time on the first and fifteenth days of every month, about two or three days.
This time they sneaked out while the Second in Command was away, otherwise they wouldn't have the guts to go along with the First in Command on a normal day."
Wushuang recounted the interrogation in detail, and then saw Jiang Jin's hands tapping the table unconsciously. He knew that his master was thinking, so he did not disturb Jiang Jin's thinking.
“So, the person in charge of Niutou Mountain is actually this second-in-command.
If someone disappears without dying, then we can only say they are hidden.”
Jiang Jin murmured the news about the interrogation while thinking of a plan in his head.
"Before the news gets back, An Yi, go to Niutou Mountain and investigate. Find out where the mine is.
Then cooperate with Ye Zijin to capture the person, and be careful not to reveal your identity."
As Jiang Jin gave the order, a slight sound was heard outside the study window, like the wind blowing.
Wushuang knew that it was An Yi who appeared and quickly disappeared.
The reason why Jiang Jin asked An Yi not to reveal his identity was that he didn't want to appear in the court's sight so early.
Although his good brothers have never been at ease with him over the years, as long as he does not appear in Yudu, although they are on guard against him, they will not concentrate their forces to deal with him.
"Wushuang, go back and help Song Yang get rid of Lihua Village. This happened because Song Yang, the chief clerk of Maple Leaf City, discovered that bandits were rampant and oppressing the people, so he wrote a letter to request General Ningyuan to send troops to suppress the bandits."
Jiang Jin thought about it and instructed Wushuang that there must not be any trace of him behind this matter.
The credit for suppressing the bandits should be given to Song Yang and Ye Zijin. As for the involvement behind the mine, it naturally made the people in the court worried. What could he, a disabled and sick prince, know?
"Yes."
Wushuang responded to Jiang Jin. He also understood that the prince did not want those people to disrupt the existing peace in Lihua Village.
"Go!"
Then Jiang Jin waved his hand and asked him to go and do his work.
Next to him sat Zhaozai Jiang Mingzhao, who was reading and writing seriously on the small table, and listened to the whole thing silently.
"Dad, are you giving all the credit to General Song Yang and Ye Zijin so that we can protect Lihua Village and Mother?"
Jiang Mingzhao had been smart since he was young, so he naturally saw through his father's intention.
"Protecting Lihua Village and your mother is certainly one thing, but Zhao'er, when the forces are evenly matched, you must learn to retreat bravely, lie dormant for a while, and just be the one stirring the storm behind the scenes."
Jiang Jin touched Jiang Mingzhao's little head and spoke to him patiently.
"Besides, your mother is very powerful. Although Daddy wants to protect her and keep her behind him, she definitely wants to stand on the same level as Daddy. She can also shield Daddy and Zhao'er from the wind and rain."
I have to say that Jiang Jin, this fox, knows his wife quite well.
"Yeah, I got it!"
Jiang Mingzhao seemed to understand, but not quite. After all, he was only five years old. He understood most of these things, but not as thoroughly as an adult.
The conversation between the father and son today planted a belief in his little heart that his mother was very powerful, but he, Jiang Mingzhao, still wanted to protect his mother.
After Jiang Mingzhao finished talking with his adoptive father, the father and son went about their own business.
After a while, they heard a noise outside the yard. Jiang Jin walked out of the study and saw his wife and Aunt Liu standing in the yard.
"Ma'am, what happened?"
Mu Jiaojiao was talking to Aunt Liu and several sisters-in-law. When she saw him coming, she said to him:
"Aunt Liu and the others just said that Li Ruhua's mother-in-law is dead. It seems she was frightened to death last night."
"Well, did the bandits go to their house last night?"
Jiang Jin was probably used to seeing people die, so he just asked calmly.
"Of course we did. We went to their house and saw that the door was broken. That damn Li Ruhua was really cruel."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu couldn't help but say indignantly that Li Ruhua was really a heartless person who was so cruel to her own mother-in-law.
"That's right, marrying Li Ruhua is really unlucky. Not only will she kill her husband, but she will also kill her mother-in-law."
Sister Yang also felt sorry. This family was so miserable. They were all harmed by the little whore Li Ruhua.
