Everyone present became nervous because of Su Zhirou's words.
After all, sulfur is generally used in some relatively dangerous crafts.
Jiang Nianjiao asked cautiously, "Where did you smell this smell?"
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's question, Su Zhirou sniffed hard again. While sniffing like this, she actually smelled Aunt Yu's body.
Aunt Yu was about to ask Su Zhirou what she was doing.
Su Zhirou said to her, "Excuse me."
Then, without waiting for Aunt Yu to say anything, she just pulled her arm, and soon her target was locked on Aunt Yu's jade bracelet.
That bracelet was the one given by Yan Lang. When she saw it, she subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back.
However, Su Zhirou said with absolute certainty, "There is something fishy about this jade bracelet!"
After hearing Su Zhirou's words, Aunt Yu subconsciously wanted to refute, but Jiang Fang had already said, "Mother Yu, since Medical Officer Su said there is something wrong with your jade bracelet, just take it off and show it to her."
Aunt Yu only put her hands behind her back, "What's wrong with my bracelet? What should I do if it's damaged?"
These people are really funny. They actually want her to hand over Yanlang's bracelet to them. If she hands it over, she will definitely not be able to keep the bracelet. Yanlang will not know how sad he will be when he sees it.
However, the more she subconsciously covered it up, the more suspicious everyone felt.
"Aunt, if there is something wrong with this bracelet, you have to let us check it before we can draw a conclusion, right? If there is nothing wrong with this bracelet, we can all feel at ease if you take it out. But if there is something really wrong with this bracelet, let alone you. What will happen? Those present are all dignitaries. If something goes wrong, both the Yu family and the Jiang family will be implicated. I think the person who gave the bracelet will definitely be thoroughly investigated."
Ever since Jiang Nianjiao heard that Yu Se had brought a servant into the Jiang Mansion, she had roughly guessed that Yu Se had probably brought her lover who had been raised outside into the Mansion, and she was already on guard at that time.
Now that Su Zhirou said this, it was naturally even more impossible for her to let Aunt Yu leave just now.
After all, Aunt Yu couldn't bear the consequences, especially after hearing Jiang Nianjiao mention that it would affect the lives of the people she cared about.
At that moment, she stopped insisting. She just took off the bracelet with some anger and said angrily, "If there is no problem with this bracelet, what are you going to do?"
Jiang Nianjiao said, "If my aunt has any requests, just ask."
After receiving such a reply, Aunt Yu took the bracelet to Jiang Nianjiao and said at the same time, "If there is no problem, you have to apologize to me in person and let my sister go."
Jiang Fang naturally planned to refuse. After all, he worked so hard and didn't want to fall short because of Aunt Yu.
However, Jiang Nianjiao had already responded to her words first, "That's natural."
Jiang Fang didn't want Concubine Yu Xian to ask about the reason for Yu Se's absence, so for now he could only let Jiang Nianjiao talk freely.
Jiang Nianjiao only asked the maid behind him to use a hammer to smash the jade bracelet. Sure enough, as the jade bracelet was hammered into pieces, only some light yellow powder was exposed inside the broken jade bracelet, and in addition to sulfur, there seemed to be the smell of saltpeter. These flavors come together to form a unique, choking odor.
Moreover, this so-called jade bracelet is not solid. There is a thin groove in it to accommodate the core of the gunpowder.
Seeing the condition of this jade bracelet, even Aunt Yu, who had been domineering just now, turned pale, and her eyes were full of panic and surprise.
"How could this happen?" she almost lost her voice.
Naturally, no one answered her question. Jiang Fang just said with a dark expression, "I still want to ask you what the hell you are doing."
After the words fell, Jiang Fang only told the people below, "Please take my mother away first! Let's talk about this later!"
After saying this, two servants detained my aunt.
Aunt Yu only shouted, "Brother-in-law! You can't do this to me!"
However, Jiang Fang ignored Aunt Yu's shouts at this time.
To be honest, after he discovered that the jade bracelet was originally a firearm, he did not immediately send it to his aunt to the Tingwei Mansion. This was already a great tolerance for his aunt.
It's a pity that Aunt Yu obviously didn't understand Jiang Fang's intentions, and she didn't forget to yell before dragging him down.
But her arms couldn't twist her thighs, no matter how she
No amount of yelling could withstand the dragging of two strong men. @
After Aunt Yu was dragged off, Jiang Fang apologized to Concubine Yuxian again and again, and also praised Su Zhirou, who was beside Concubine Yuxian, for her sharp eyes.
But then he reprimanded Jiang Nianjiao, "How did you arrange today? Why did you almost let such a dangerous thing flow into the ancestral hall by guarding here personally?"
Although the gunpowder in this shape was indeed very confusing, it was indeed his own fault for not recognizing it, so Jiang Nianjiao remained silent.
Concubine Yu Xian naturally felt sorry for Jiang Nianjiao. When she saw Jiang Fang reprimanding Jiang Nianjiao, she couldn't help but said tit for tat, "I think it's pretty good for Gillian to be able to do this. I just don't know what Mr. Jiang is going to do with your sister-in-law?"
This drew the fire to Jiang Fang. Naturally, Jiang Fang couldn't bring up Jiang Nianjiao's fault at this time. He reflected on himself and said, "What Concubine Xian said is that if this matter is found to be really related to Yu Niang, I will naturally bring it to justice." She personally sent it to Tingwei Mansion."
Concubine Yuxian was just trying to save Jiang Nianjiao.
Seeing that Jiang Fang didn't say anything anymore, she naturally didn't need to hold on to him.
In addition, today is Jiang Zhi's wedding ceremony, so all matters will naturally have to wait until the ceremony is over.
At present, several people seemed to have reached a consensus and just headed towards the family temple at the same time.
In the east room, Jiang Zhi, who had finished bathing and changing clothes, was waiting quietly in the inner room.
Although today is an extremely important day for him, Jiang Zhi's heart is not focused on this matter.
She was worried about Yu Se's safety, but also didn't want to face the guests outside the door.
But what is coming will still come.
As the outdoor ritual music played, several little sisters of the same age in the same room left the east room first.
After waiting for a moment, the maid beside her also helped her out of the hall.
There were a lot of guests at today's haircut ceremony. The little sister who lived in the same room was already standing on the west steps, and the host even sang loudly with words that she couldn't understand.
However, on the side of the table where his parents were supposed to be sitting, there was only his father sitting alone.
Looking at the empty seats and her aunt who was missing below the stage, she thought maybe there were some things she should do herself.
At this time, under the guidance of the host, she only faced south and made a long salute to the guests below.
Then, with the support of the maid, she faced the west and knelt down on a long reed mat.
The little sister who was standing on the west steps just now saw her sitting down and came over to comb and tie her hair.
After that, my father accompanied a slim and well-maintained woman to wet her hands with a gold basin.
This woman is today's guest of honor: Da Honglu's wife Zheng Jiang. As the person who added the hairpin to Jiang Zhi during the wedding ceremony, her reputation abroad is naturally very good. She was even praised as a model among the married women for her virtues.
After that, the guest of honor just recited a congratulatory message loudly to her.
After such chants, Zheng Jiang also knelt down on the reed mat and added hairpins to Jiang Zhi.
After the initial introduction and a demonstration in front of the stage, Jiang Zhi was led off again.
She looked at her father, who looked calm and happy, and didn't know when she should persuade her father.
However, before she could figure this out, after she finished changing, she heard the sound of swords clashing and the chaotic shouts of the crowd outside.
The little sisters in the same room naturally didn't dare to go out when they heard the chaotic commotion outside. One of the older sisters even held Jiang Zhi's hand and said, "I'm afraid something will happen outside. Let's stay away first." It’s better to go out.”
But it was too late for her words. One of the sisters boldly opened the curtain and looked outside before she could finish her words.
However, she hadn't yet seen clearly what was happening outside.
A sharp blade had already penetrated her chest.
Then the girl was pulled and kicked towards the approaching guards.
The guards only subconsciously caught the girl who was stabbed in the chest.
The young man in gray who had killed the killer took advantage of the guard's distraction and rashly broke into the dressing room.
The locker room was full of defenseless, weak women.
The intrusion of the young man in gray clothes holding a long knife was like a pot of boiling oil falling into the pot, which only gave rise to all kinds of uneasy emotions. As the women screamed one after another, the situation in the room became even more chaotic.
As the girls ran away, the young man in gray quickly reached out and grabbed Jiang Zhi, who had stumbled because of her weak legs.
Almost as soon as the guards broke into the tent, the young man in gray picked up Jiang Zhi and put the knife in his hand on Jiang Zhi's neck.
"You'd better not come here, otherwise I will kill this young lady directly."
Seeing Jiang Zhi being held hostage, the guards who were confronting him naturally did not dare to act rashly again.
After all, Jiang Fang still felt sorry for Jiang Zhi. He almost subconsciously chased after the thief when he suddenly broke into the locker room. At this time, he saw his daughter being caught in the hands of the young man.
Although he wished he could cut the other party into pieces, he was also worried that Jiang Zhi would be killed by the young man before doing so.
Jiang Fang could only plead with the guards who came with Concubine Yuxian, "Don't do anything yet."
When he separated from the crowd, his hatred for the young man was extremely vicious, but when his eyes met the frightened Jiang Zhi, his heart was slightly shaken.
He could only confront the young man in a loud voice and said, "Stop resisting in vain. You have no way out. Rather than die with your body intact, it's better to be captured now! Maybe I can ask for some mercy for you!"
However, the young man who was threatened smiled evilly, "Master Jiang, are you willing to let your daughter, who is as beautiful as a flower, be buried under my sword?"
After saying this, the man's sharp blade only tightened a little on Jiang Zhi's neck.
Jiang Zhi was pressed by the sharp blade and naturally couldn't help but let out a cry of pain. Her body was shaking violently, and she could only subconsciously beg, "Father, save me!"
