Song Qiyun and Shen Jiu just came back after finishing all the training today. They were basically idle all day, because the war was about to begin, and they did not dare to relax even a little bit. They not only trained their brothers to be ruthless, but also trained themselves to be ruthless.
During the practice, the two of them didn't think anything was wrong. When they had time to sit down here, they felt their stomachs began to growl, and their backs pressed against their chests with hunger. The two of them grabbed Hongye and refused to let go, and kept trying to control her. food.
Hongye looked at the two clingy spirits and sighed softly. After all, he had promised before, so he could only contribute all the snacks he had hidden. When he took them out of the cabinet, they were all Very heartbroken.
"Don't eat too much. The dining room has already prepared a lot of delicious food. If you eat too many snacks, you won't be able to eat anything at night."
"I know, we are not you!" Song Qiyun happily took a bite of the mung bean pancake, "We are just cushions. To be honest, we don't like the food you like very much. It's too sweet."
"It's good to eat some, and you're still picky." Hongye pinched the faces of Shen Jiu and Song Qiyun, feeling a little distressed when they looked like this, "What's wrong with you two? Did you not eat all day?".
"I didn't have time." Shen Jiu saw his sister looking at him and touched his nose in embarrassment, "Next time we won't dare."
"How dare there be a next time?" Hongye sighed heavily, "I won't let you eat next time."
"I know, it won't happen."
Hongye patted the two of them on the head. In order to stay out of sight and out of mind, she didn't sit next to them, but sat far away, as if she could pretend not to know about it.
"Let them eat first, and let's continue talking." Hongye finished drinking the ginger tea and looked at Jin Miaomiao and said, "Continue what we just said. I wanted to say before, look at that person named Luan. When I came down, I had physical problems, because both my grandfather and my father had been poisoned by others, so he would naturally have a little bit of it. In order to suppress the original poison, poisonous insects were brought in. Although the poisonous insects It can eliminate the independent behavior in his body, but the damage to himself should not be small, right?"
"Yes!" Jin Miaomiao nodded, "Indeed, he looks very strong, but he is still a little weak on the inside."
"Furthermore, you have said before that after using this poisonous insect to remove the original toxin, it may cause an attack on its own. Therefore, Luan can only take another pill to stop this poisonous insect, barely ensuring that he can survive until this time. Time, right?"
"You're right. If it hadn't been for the poisonous insect and the pill, he would have died a long time ago."
"It's really not easy for this guy!" After Shen Jiu ate two macaroons, he felt that he was no longer so hungry. He held a tea cup and listened quietly to the words of his two sisters. When he heard this, he couldn't bear to He couldn't help but say, "He can be considered a real medicine man now, right?"
"That's right!" Hongye nodded, "That's what I mean too. Does such a body really have no impact on his ability to have children? Although Liu's body was damaged by him, I guess, he It’s quite annoying, isn’t it?”
"What do you mean?" Song Qiyun looked at several people curiously, "You mean, they don't have a queen because they can't have children?"
"Although, this causal relationship is very likely to be established, but we cannot easily draw a conclusion. At least from the current point of view, neither the so-called congenital deficiencies, nor the poisonous insects and pills have such an effect, but..."
"But?" Hongye blinked, "But what?"
"Actually, it's a good thing that they don't have children. Because with their physical condition, no doctor would recommend them to have children."
"Why?"
"Because it's not good for the children." Jin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows and sighed, "Firstly, their children may have dystocia or die early. Secondly, even if they are born, it will be very difficult for them to grow up." .”
"What do you mean..." Hongye asked puzzledly, "What's the danger?"
"Absolutely. Whether you can survive or not is a question. Some people are born with
A disease cannot be cured by spending a lot of money or using expensive medicines. Do you understand? If it survives, it is very likely that it will be incomplete here or incomplete there. Anyway, it is difficult to be a healthy child. "
"Then this is the child of the two of them. What if, as we suspected, the one named Luan has another family outside and marries another wife? Will the child be healthier?"
"It's possible, but the chance is very small." Jin Miaomiao sighed, "We said before that if he really resettled a home in the Western Regions, married a wife, and gave birth to a child, why didn't he come to the Central Plains? Fighting for family property, why has no one ever seen it before? I’m afraid it’s beyond my ability. I want to come but I can’t!”
"I understand!" Shen Cha thought for a while and sighed softly, "So, our guess may not be accurate."
"Not necessarily, the child may not be there, but it's hard to say about the other lady." Jin Miaomiao thought for a while, "Don't Mrs. Ning know about their family? Wait until you see the old lady at night and ask her Okay, there are brothers from the He family who are in prison, you can ask them too!"
"The relationship between the He family and the Liu family is closer, and I'm afraid they are also being kept secret." Shen Cha sneered, "The person named Luan went to the Western Regions to do business, and the voice of Jiangnan is controlled by the person named Liu. He can't let Shang. People from the Liu family in the team know about the outer chamber. However, it’s okay to ask, what if?" She said, while gesturing to Merlin, watching Merlin go outside to give instructions to Shadow, and then said, "Our city Are there any businessmen from the Western Regions here? You can ask them tomorrow." She looked at Shen Jiu and Song Qiyun, "Which one of you will go on patrol tomorrow?"
"Me!" Shen Jiu raised his hand, "Sister, don't worry, leave it to me and I'm sure to ask."
"Just asking around, it doesn't matter if you can't find out." Shen Cha chuckled, "Although you have to pay attention to your attitude, but if they..." She raised her eyebrows, "Whatever you do, understand?"
"Understood!"
"You, you!" Jin Miaomiao shook her head helplessly, "I've never seen you like this."
"What's wrong with me?" Shen Cha stretched out and looked at the sky outside, "As for those Hu businessmen, I just can't give them a good look. They are used to kicking their noses and getting into trouble!"
"Who would kick their nose in the face?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the door of the flower hall opened, and Mr. Jiang walked in first, followed by Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing, and Ying Si walked at the back.
"Second Grandpa!"
Shen Cha stood up and saluted Second Master Jiang. Then he waited for the others to finish their salutes and let Second Master Jiang take his seat.
"Hey, everyone, sit down!" Second Master Jiang waved his hands to everyone. When he saw everyone sitting down, he wiped his face and hands with the clean handkerchief Mei Lin handed over, and looked at Shen Cha who was handing the handkerchief to Shen Haolin. , asked, "What were we talking about just now? It looked very lively from the outside."
Shen Cha briefly told Mr. Jiang about the interrogation of the head of the Luan family and the daughter of the Liu family, and also shared some of their speculations about these two people.
"Why are you insisting on looking for an outlaw?" Jiang Erye frowned slightly, "So what if you find it? So what if you can't find it? Their relationship between husband and wife is not as good as the rumors outside. There is a gap in their hearts, and their surname is Luan. He was also poisoned, that’s enough for us.”
"They may know the situation of the people behind the Qinglian Sect." Shen Haolin thought for a while, "If we find the outer room, maybe we can use it to threaten the head of the Luan family, right? After all, he has no relationship with Mrs. Luan. Yan, you might prefer which outer room, right?"
"That makes some sense, but he hasn't been doing business for a long time. If this outer chamber really exists and it is his true love, do you think he would leave someone in the Western Regions for so long and ignore him? ? Maybe there was an accident in this outer room, so he didn't go to business as regularly as before, right? "
"It's possible, but it's safer to go and find out." Seeing Mei Lin bring ginger tea to Mr. Jiang, Shen Cha poked Shen Haolin, moved the letter paper aside, and blinked, "Did you read it?"
"Yes!" Shen Haolin nodded, "You have also read this and concluded that the Luan family is related to the people behind the scenes, right?"
"Yes!" Shen Cha sighed softly, "It can be seen from this confession that although the head of the Ning family does not know who is behind the scenes or where his lair is, he does know some things. , related to the person behind the scenes. The same situation applies to the Luan family. Although we haven't found anything in the Luan family yet, it is only a matter of time. As long as it exists, we will definitely find it."
"Everyone thinks that the Luan family and the Ning family are controlled and used by the Empress Dowager, but what is the reality?" Jin Miaomiao sighed, "They are most likely the people behind the scenes. Someone sent to monitor the Empress Dowager, right?"
"Yes, but the Queen Mother has no idea."
"She may not know, maybe she knows, but she doesn't dare to say it." After Jiang Erye finished drinking the ginger tea and heard the children chatting, he smiled and said, "Don't think she is such a strong person. What a cruel and ruthless person, she actually has a weakness."
"Weakness?" Song Qiyun sneered, "Isn't she said to be immune to all poisons?"
"Her weakness is her family, I mean her natal family." Jiang Erye sighed, "Before she passed away, she was still begging the late emperor to let her family go. She was responsible for all the wrong things. With her The family has nothing to do with it. However, the late emperor did not agree. He had to cut the grass to get rid of the root. If he really understood, there would be endless troubles." He raised his eyebrows, "Besides, how could her family be innocent? The money she plundered, her Her family enjoys her title as the Empress Dowager, and her family also enjoys it, and even because she is the Empress Dowager, her life is outrageously extravagant."
"Outrageous?" Hong Ye held her chin and looked at Mr. Jiang, "How is it outrageous?"
"You all know that merchants in the Western Region are very wealthy, right?"
"Yes, I heard that there is a place in the Western Region where gold is everywhere. People who live in the nearby cities have gold in their accounts without having to work since they were born. They do business and so on, all because they are too busy. "Chen Cha saw everyone looking at him and shrugged, "Well, I have dealt with businessmen from the Western Regions before, and they said that they also envy the people living there."
"Yes, I've heard about it too." Shen Haolin nodded, "The bowls used for eating and drinking cups are all made of gold. If it weren't for the fear of falling asleep, the bed might collapse. , they even made the bed with gold."
"Isn't this a coincidence?" Mr. Jiang chuckled, "Take what you just said into the Empress Dowager's natal family, and then think about whether the late Emperor should eradicate the roots."
Everyone's eyes widened after listening to Mr. Jiang's words. They were all shocked. They didn't expect that the Queen Mother's natal family lived such a luxurious life, which was really more enjoyable than the emperor.
"You have to know how scary it is when a house is searched!" Mr. Jiang sighed, "The Empress Dowager's natal family originally had three separate courtyards, but when the house was searched, more than 20 houses were found in various places, and there were several A manor specially used for bathing. The number of farmers and tenants under their name has reached the level of a thousand. The children in the family are uneducated and have at least two lives in their body." He picked up the tea cup and drank it. After two mouthfuls, he took another piece of mung bean cake, took a bite, and said, "At least, at most, probably a hundred or ten people died in his hands."
"How terrible!" Jin Miaomiao looked disgusted. "It's our fault that such a scum can live in the world for so long. It makes us feel so guilty."
"What does it have to do with you? You weren't even born at that time!" Jiang Erye saw Jin Miaomiao's look, then looked at the anger on the faces of Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Xue Ruitian, and waved his hands gently, "No one can I didn't expect them to be so courageous. They were really lawless and had no regard for human life. Later, I interrogated the head of the family at the time, the grandnephew of the Empress Dowager, and he said that the Empress Dowager may not all know , but some of the more serious ones were still aware of it, and she helped suppress it, and also told them to restrain themselves and not do whatever they wanted and cause trouble for her."
"It only takes a few days to calm down, and it won't take more than half a year at most before it starts to sprout. People like them are the type who only care about food and not about fighting." Xue Ruitian sneered, "One thing is that her mother-in-law also believes in youth. She is from the Lotus Sect. She is also the biggest leader of the Green Lotus Sect.
Eyes, you actually have so much silver and gold at home? Is it possible that the offerings from the Green Lotus Sect have been deducted? "
"Then no one will know." Second Master Jiang spread his hands, "As for whether the Ning family and the Luan family will report it, we have to ask them carefully."
