When Li Yuan said Chen Qingqing's name, she knew that she knew him, but she might not have identified her with the Zhang family for a while.
Seeing that she was thoughtful, he changed the topic and asked: "Does Sister Su know about the engagement between Jiaojiao and Yang Gaowu? Oh, by the way, Gaowu said that he is not a child of the Yang family and is now being purified. After leaving home, he decided to become the Yan family's son-in-law.
Speaking of which, Mrs. Zhang was also heartbroken. Brother Gao Wu was a very nice person and was filial to her, but she was so annoying. "
When Su Mingshan heard about Yang Gaowu and Da Zhang, and then thought about Chen Qingqing, her eyes widened instantly.
She knew that Yang Gaowu was twenty-two years old and Chen Qingqing was also twenty-two years old.
Because they are both merchants, her family has some business dealings with the Chen family, but they are also competitors.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in any battle, so she still knows something about the Chen family.
This understanding includes when the Chen family moved to Fucheng and how they made their fortune.
What was the name of the first wife who died young and where was she from? Where is the current concubine’s natal family, what are her preferences, etc.
Of course, she also knew something about the Gao family, including who the masters were, what they looked like, what their personalities were, etc.
At this time, she reached out and grabbed Li Yuan's arm and said seriously: "Sister Li, I suddenly discovered that brother Gao Wu looks a bit like Mr. Chen, while Chen Qingqing looks like Mr. Zhang. Don't you think it's strange?"
As she spoke, she seemed to have discovered some big secret, her eyebrows stretched and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"What's even more interesting is that the eldest son of the Gao family looks a bit like Wu Yu'er, the current mistress of the Chen family. Why didn't I think of this before?"
Although the aunt of the eldest son of the Gao family is related by blood to Wu Yu'er, the mistress of the Chen family, the two of them look nothing alike.
But he also looks like Mr. Gao, but if you think about it comprehensively, isn't it actually the combination of Wu Yu'er and Mr. Gao?
Can she make a bold guess that the Gao family cannot be offended because the mistress is the legitimate daughter of the Qin family, and the Qin family has a close relationship with Tong Yan and the minister of rites in the court.
Before the mistress gave birth to her eldest son, the two could only live in secret.
Later, Wu Yu'er became pregnant, and together with the master of the Gao family, he asked him to take the eldest son's aunt as his concubine.
Later, it depends on Mr. Gao's ability to protect the child and become the child of that aunt.
And she herself, willing to do anything to avoid the limelight, entered the Chen family, which was still considered a wealthy family at that time, as a concubine.
After all, she is the old lady of the Chen family, but isn’t she her cousin?
Afterwards, he plotted to gain power, investigated the affairs of his first wife, and began to make plans.
While the original wife was giving birth to a child, he coaxed people to return to Liuyun County, and together with the Da Zhang family, they exchanged the child.
So as soon as the first wife died, the legitimate son also died under her "careful care" not long after.
She "loved" Chen Qingqing and married her to the eldest son of the Gao family's concubine with a large dowry.
This dowry is actually subsidizing her son.
As for that idiot Chen Qingqing, he probably doesn't even know that he has been plotting against her since she was born.
Perhaps, Chen Qingqing will die soon.
When the time comes, I will marry a better step-sister.
After all, Chen Qingqing has been married to the Gao family for so many years, but she has never given birth to a son or a half.
Divorce and divorce are impossible, otherwise the dowry may be taken back.
But if she dies and has a so-called "child", the mother's dowry will not be taken back by her parents' family.
After all, the dowry must be left to the children!
Therefore, if Chen Qingqing were to die, he might die of "dystocia".
By then the child was born successfully, but she died of excessive blood loss!
Thinking like this, Su Mingshan became more and more excited.
She still has to go back and investigate. If this is the truth, she can use this to confuse the Gao family and the Chen family and profit from it...
Thinking about it, Su Mingshan looked at Li Yuan with particularly eager eyes.
This is a person with good luck who can always bring her all kinds of unexpected benefits.
If things were confirmed, she thought she could worship her as a Bodhisattva!
Li Yuan didn't know what Su Mingshan was thinking.
When she heard that the eldest son of the Gao family concubine looked a bit like Wu Yu'er, she had already verified her and Xie Yanzhi's previous guesses.
It's just that there is no clear evidence for this yet, and it is useless to just rely on inferences.
Someone needs to investigate and put the evidence on the table.
She believed that as long as Su Mingshan sensed something was wrong, she would cooperate with Yang Gaowu.
At this time, Su Mingshan was thinking further and further.
In recent years, with the help of Qian Tongpan, the Gao family has firmly ranked first among the first-class wealthy businessmen in Xinyang Mansion.
But if the eldest son of the concubine of the Gao family was born to Mr. Gao and the head of the Chen family, it would be a huge scandal, and the mistress of the Gao family would definitely be angry.
By then, Qian Tongpan and Magistrate Zheng will definitely put pressure on the Gao family in the name of supporting them, and then benefit from it.
And she could secretly contact the eldest daughter of the Chen family. Her husband was said to be on duty in the Imperial Academy.
Even though people say he is a poor Hanlin, he has many classmates, some of whom are from decent family backgrounds.
If someone from the capital comes to investigate this matter, she can still find an opportunity to pull the general judge down.
In the past few years, the things sent by her Su family every year have been recorded in the account books.
These are the evidence that Qian Tong was convicted of accepting bribes.
As long as Qian Tongpan falls, Magistrate Zheng, who has only been here for two years, will have nothing to fear.
After all, there is Luo Tongzhi dormant underneath him.
Without Qian Tongjian, if there is another good official like Mr. Chen, her good disciple will not have to be so hidden in the future.
It can be said that this is a good way to kill three birds with one stone.
It's just that you have to plan carefully and don't act too hastily, otherwise it will backfire on you.
Because of these thoughts, Su Mingshan was in a daze from Liuyun County to Liufeng County.
All I can think about is how to take every step without risking myself.
At that time, more and more victims were fleeing on the road. Li Yuan frowned and reached out to push Su Mingshan.
"Sister Su, come to your senses. There are many victims here, so be careful."
Su Mingshan opened the curtain and saw many victims on both sides of the official road, looking at their carriage with burning eyes.
Even though there were five or six people from the escort agency sitting on each car, and there was a knife or sword hanging on the person's waist, those people slowly moved closer.
Because no one was clearing the snow in Liufeng County, the thickness was extremely high and it was inconvenient for the carriage to move, so the speed was very slow.
Jiang Ping'an and others who were sitting on the shaft of Su Mingshan's carriage, except the driver, all showed their weapons and looked at the victims with unkind expressions.
Although we all know that these people are pitiful, now is not the time for their sympathy to overflow.
If these people are not deterred, they will soon be robbed.
At that time, let alone carriages, food and clothing, money and so on.
I'm afraid I won't even leave them a pair of shoes!
