"Ende? I don't dare to take this title!" Jiang Tian shook his head slightly and said: "How virtuous and capable I am to be able to avenge the famous Qixiufang. Isn't this too ridiculous?"
"Shangxian, do you still remember Sansefang, or Qinghei Langjun?" The woman named Gongsun Auntie continued speaking unhurriedly: "This generation secretly traffics in people and humiliates women and children for pleasure. Seven I have been looking for the show for many years but could not find it. It is because of you that I was able to be punished."
"You need to know that this person has been secretly operating inside and outside the capital for many years. Although he has suffered many blows, he has been repeatedly restrained. As a result, countless people have been separated and their families have been destroyed. What is even more hateful is that these thieves have sophisticated methods and extensive connections. , very well-informed and good at hiding."
"The master of the Fan Building and the master of the ghost market who is hidden behind them is the old enemy and grudge that our house has secretly dealt with for many years. It is only because of the official control and the powerful forces that secretly protect it; although several The bosses of the past generations secretly promoted the ban on the ghost market."
"But no matter how many times the government destroyed it, it could not completely eliminate the ghost market. Every time it reappeared elsewhere, it became more and more serious. Until you showed your power in the ghost market and overthrew everything in broad daylight; you also let the hidden people Behind the scenes, the Xiao clan master is in broad daylight;"
"That's not right." Jiang Tian shook his head and said: "Whether it is Yiying Tower or Qixiu Fang, it is known as the most well-informed place in the capital, even above Wude Si. How can you still rely on me, a mere variable, to make a difference?"
"Your Excellency, you really think too highly of us women." Aunt Gongsun smiled bitterly and said: "Qixiufang was just a group of women who were hurt by love and poor people living in the world, communicating with each other and holding each other together. Helping each other from being bullied has a reputation for not being bullied.”
"Therefore, although I have gained some resources and connections over the years, I am also closely watched by many eyes from the government and the public. Therefore, I must be careful in my words and deeds in my daily actions, and cannot be as wanton and indulgent as those lawless people. . Most of the time, we can only rely on the government to act."
"However, in the face of those underground forces with deep backgrounds or great interests, the government and Yousi themselves would inevitably have many hands tied and restricted. Therefore, Qixiufang united some potential allies and also sent out Some people who have been trained since childhood are investigating secretly.”
"However, most of the manpower sent by our office and the helpers who secretly worked together never returned, and even some horrific corpses were found many days later." Speaking of this, Aunt Gongsun's eyes showed a bit of sadness: "Among them Including my most cherished children and nephews."
"..." Hearing this, Jiang Tian was slightly moved even though he didn't speak. However, he remembered Chu Yu who was locked up in a secret room and tortured to death in the Dongdu Yinhou Mansion, and what she had experienced; at least in the attack and Qixiufang is worthy of admiration in terms of prohibiting human trafficking.
"Later, when someone accidentally saw her in the animal fighting arena underground in the ghost market, her limbs were all broken and she was delirious; her behavior was no different from that of a wild animal. For this reason, someone in our shop violated the ban and sent Pingting to sneak in I wanted to free him, but I almost fell into a trap."
"Because, that was actually a flaw deliberately left by the owner of the ghost market behind Fan Tower; although Pingting was lucky enough to rescue the abducted Xiaoyao, she was also caught in the trap of chasing and killing... Fortunately, they met You single-handedly destroyed Fan Tower and caused a river of blood."
"It was precisely because of the important relationship and reason for accidentally saving Xiaoyao that Qixiufang was prevented from being involved in the turmoil and turmoil afterwards. It's just that Qiniang couldn't help but have her own selfish intentions and wanted to hide some of the internal affairs and resentment. But Qixiufang almost fell into an unkind and unjust situation."
"At the beginning, Qixiufang also wanted to be rewarded. However, Xiantai really hid you very tightly, so we were never able to get what we wanted. It wasn't until a few days ago that we investigated the source of possible internal leaks. It has been confirmed that you have long been the benefactor of Qixiufang."
"Later, if you hadn't investigated all the way, you would have revealed the past and the huge relationship between the imperial city and the road." At this point, Aunt Gongsun sighed again and said: "The slave family doesn't know that there are so many sisters in our house. Being induced by others to betray the original oath and original intention.”
"The slave family originally thought that this was just a few spies and spies in Qixiu Fang; but they didn't expect that someone had already cooperated inside and outside for the promise of power and wealth, and wanted to turn Qixiu Fang, and even the entire Yiying Building, into someone. A private weapon used to unite the party and eliminate dissidents..."
"Fortunately, it was Jiang Jianxian who unintentionally exposed this person's true face; it also caused his long-standing and powerful power to collapse; but precisely because of the delays and setbacks in the internal purge these days, it is only now that I am honored to express my gratitude in person..."
When Mrs. Gongsun said this, she took the lead and bowed her head deeply to the ground three times. Jiang Tian listened to all this silently, and watched her finish her salute before speaking: "I just followed the trend and didn't do it intentionally, so there is no need to express special thanks. Just accept the hospitality for now."
"It is true that the Jianxian regards extraordinary people whose wealth and wealth are like floating clouds, but we cannot be ungrateful and do not want to repay." Aunt Gongsun said more respectfully: "Although there are only some lonely and weak women in our house, there are rumors about anecdotes in the city. I still have some strengths and would like to contribute something."
Later, a booklet in a lacquered tray was presented to Jiang Tian. He opened it casually and let out a sigh, because this thin book was just a catalog, or an index of a series of documents. It was clearly divided into several parts in advance.
Part of the directory is part of the missing and damaged documents in Jingzhao Mansion around the Yuan Dynasty during the Zefeng period when the Zhenzhuji case occurred. There is also a part of the catalog that was collected, recorded and summarized privately, including personal interviews and words from banquets and parties in the mansion.
One part is the list of people who were implicated in the incident at that time, as well as the records of subsequent personnel changes in the court; the last part involves the arrangements for the guards in the three inner and five gardens including Daohuang City, as well as Jiandao and Tianjie; and the subsequent military affairs. Desi asked for search reports from all over the city.
These contents were also within the scope of Jiang Tian's original investigation, but the contents were quite scattered and fragmented. Without dedicated time, energy and manpower to search, it would be difficult to obtain such comprehensive information. Jiang Tian couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Aunt Gongsun. Then she took the initiative to explain:
"The former head of the workshop was also appointed by the Empress Dowager Yao and Shun, and cooperated with the department to carry out corresponding verification and search. By the way, he left some things for verification. I thought that this public case would become unknown and buried in the pile of old papers. , I don’t want to see the light of day again.”
Just after Jiang Tian nodded slightly, a small jade ring with a colorful silk ribbon was presented to Jiang Tian. Aunt Gongsun then introduced:
"This is a little thought from Yiyinglou, and I hope you will accept it. With this token, you can get cooperation at the museums, restaurants, hotels, and cash boxes of Qixiufang. Regardless of whether it is money, news, or goods, They are still temporarily at your disposal; they can all be withdrawn and used nearby..."
"Such hospitality made me feel a little guilty." However, Jiang Tian did not pick it up immediately. Instead, he gently flicked the tray with his fingers and asked pointedly: "In comparison, Qi Xiufang or Yiying Tower, what do you want?"
"..." Aunt Gongsun hesitated before smiling politely: "I really don't dare to lie to you, Qixiufang just hopes to have contact and exchange views with your officials and subordinates in the future, and in order to maintain the current stability of the capital, banning The prohibition is not against the law, it’s just a matter of trying my best.”
"There is no problem with this," Jiang Tian replied without hesitation: "As long as you are willing to stand on the side of protecting the majority of the people and the people, and are willing to do their best to eradicate and eliminate the harm of beasts and monsters, you will definitely They are all natural partners of Xijingli Xingyuan."
"I wonder if your noble lord has ever heard of Jiuyao, one of the legendary secret societies?" Immediately afterwards, Aunt Gongsun signaled the two sword guards to retreat, and solemnly said: "One of them is a Taiyin layman nicknamed "Wangshu" , is good at deceiving people and can change and distort a woman’s mind.”
"Several sword girls that we sent out to investigate were killed by each other because of his confusion. There was even a person from another society who knew that he had started to communicate inside and outside and became this person's informant. And concealed. It was not until the internal investigation that the clues were discovered..."
"In addition, the notorious traitor Black Bat Lord who appeared in Guizhi Garden, and Mrs. Bao Si, who was exposed and captured by the nobles on the spot, and whose gender was indistinguishable; were later found to be related to them, and were separated. Belonging to their respective peripheral groups..."
A moment later, Kodak, who was wearing a suspicious look of makeup, returned to the banquet with a flushed face, supported by the maid. Then he saw that there was another woman beside Jiang Tian, with elegant hair and beautiful appearance. She clung to him as softly as if she were boneless, whispering something intimately: "I am Du Qiniang, before this time Come and apologize..."
"Well, it depends on how far you can go." Jiang Tian also took advantage of the situation and chuckled. At least his experience in another world has made him face the scale and lower limit of sensuality, which has been invisibly expanded a lot. He is no longer the Chu brother who blushed casually and said: "For example, as an apology, shouldn't... XX be exposed?"
Then the next moment, the sip of fruit wine that Koda Duck took into his mouth spurted out again. Because, that Du Qiniang actually lifted up her skirt and straddled the other person's body; her face was full of beauty and she bowed her head face to face.
At the same time, Aunt Gongsun, who had left the scene, appeared in another place, hidden in the hall inside the rockery; and with a low eyebrow, she looked at the graceful figure sitting upright behind the bamboo curtain and said: "Master, What you asked has been done."
