Chapter 222 The Vanished Military Pay
King Jing has left.
However, people still lived in the Cao residence.
When they parted, Mu Yunji and Yan Huan did not appear; they only watched from afar, hiding behind a tree.
Everyone waved goodbye.
Jiang Miaomiao waved her little hands, her little hands waving back and forth.
My arm aches from shaking it.
Princess Rong'an saw Jiang Zifeng waving to her through the carriage curtain, and the carriage only stopped when it had gone far away.
Actually, Jiang Zifeng was waving to everyone.
Just like when you're in school, if a teacher glances down at you, the student always thinks the teacher is looking at them.
Actually, no one saw it.
But Princess Rong'an was still very happy and left with high hopes.
Qin Tongpan was taken away from Jiangzhou by King Jing.
His hands and feet were bound, his eyes were blindfolded, and his mouth was gagged with cloth, so he could not move.
The carriage was guarded all around.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Assassination attempt? That's all nonsense.
King Jing wasn't injured at all; this...this is a trap...
The purpose was to control him on trumped-up charges, take him away, and divert everyone's attention.
In this way, Yan Huan could do whatever he wanted in Jiangzhou.
Yes, that must be the case.
Yan Huan must still be in Jiangzhou.
He probably used the excuse of his wife's trip to disguise himself and come with her.
The official explanation in the capital is that the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review has gone on an inspection tour of the provinces.
However, this guy had been in Jiangzhou all along.
They were hiding in Prince Jing's mansion.
So, he's been here for several months now.
Now they're attacking him.
Could it be that they're about to make a move?
It's over, it's all over now.
Having figured all this out, Judge Qin felt fear spreading through his entire body.
A source of trouble...
Beautiful women are a source of trouble!
King Jing rode away from Jiangzhou in a grand procession on horseback.
When Manager Lou received the news, he felt much relieved.
These enormous Buddha statues were so overwhelming that they could hardly breathe, and finally they left.
As for Lord Qin, he has Prince Su looking after him in the capital, so he has no worries.
He instructed his trusted aides early in the morning that they could start training silver again.
The reason for choosing that horse farm was that it was sparsely populated and not easy to be discovered. That's why Lord Qin bought it and mixed it into the congratulatory gifts to give to Prince Liang.
They used this as cover for the King of Liang.
Even if the truth comes out, it's good to drag King Liang down with him.
Unexpectedly, the Prince of Liang turned out to be a fool, inexplicably becoming an idiot, and the power of the royal palace fell into other hands.
By a twist of fate, Princess Liang gave the horse farm to Madam Lu.
Old Master Lu took his men to play polo, which made them feel restricted, so they could only practice silver-clad skills secretly in the middle of the night, which delayed them for quite some time.
What's even more outrageous is that the woman was raising sheep one minute and growing flowers the next.
Look at how fast she's clearing the land.
The forest will be cleared out in less than a year.
He was considering whether to move the pay to another location.
But then I thought, the risk is too great.
It's better to come now, so that even if the Lu family finds out, they won't dare to report it.
The horse racing deed is in her name.
If something goes wrong, she will be the one to take the blame.
……
Jiang Miaomiao bid farewell with tears in her eyes.
She thought she wouldn't be sad, but she couldn't help but cry.
The little one nestled on his mother's shoulder, sobbing and crying, tears streaming down his face.
"Don't cry, don't cry, Miaomiao, don't cry. How about your big brother buys you candied hawthorns?"
"Don't cry, Miaomiao. How about your second brother buys you a sugar figurine?"
Lu Qingyao gently touched her daughter's scallion-like face, took out a piece of candy from her small cloth pocket and stuffed it into her mouth, coaxing her softly, "Miaomiao, don't be sad. When your mother takes you back to the capital next year, you'll be able to see your aunt and Sister Yuan..."
"really?"
Jiang Miaomiao raised her little face, felt a sweet taste in her mouth, and unconsciously stopped crying.
Now that you're a big kid, it's embarrassing to cry.
Jiang Zifeng sighed softly, "No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Mother, you really have a way with her."
Jiang Ziyan silently wiped away his sister's tears.
Xiuxiu held a pile of gifts, feeling slightly sad.
In fact, she had no feeling for this kind of sorrow of parting until her husband passed away.
Watch the convoy leave.
Until the convoy drove away and disappeared on the horizon.
Jiang Miaomiao's family then started to walk back.
When I got home, my godfather and uncle were already waiting for me.
Mother and Aunt Xiuxiu took them to the flower hall.
close the door.
"Lord Duke, Lord Yan, have you come regarding the military pay?"
I waited patiently for several months.
To be honest, Lu Qingyao was quite anxious.
Ever since she learned that what was hidden in that cave was the military pay that had led to the confiscation of her entire Lu family's property and exile.
She was restless and unable to eat or sleep, hoping day and night to clear her father's name.
Every time she went to the horse farm, her heart would pound.
I was afraid that the cave would suddenly disappear, or that it was all just a dream.
Now she has finally gotten what she's been waiting for.
Yan Huan sensed the tense atmosphere and joked with a smile, "Qingyao, you don't have to be so formal with us. You can call me brother-in-law, and as for your elder brother, you can call him Brother Mu, or just call him by his name."
Mu Yunji nodded, "Yes, there's no need to be so formal."
They addressed him as "Duke Shen" repeatedly, as if they were complete strangers.
He remembered the spirited, carefree young girl who rode in on horseback.
Back then, Lu Qingyao roamed freely across the grasslands, laughing heartily, and would call him by his full name whenever she saw him.
"Mu Yunji... come quick, you can't outrun me..."
At that time, she was not yet the Duke of Shen, nor was she the dignified Lady Jiang.
See you now.
She was already married, but she remained single.
How could one not feel regret?
Lu Qingyao noticed the sadness in Mu Yunji's eyes, but she didn't know why he was so sad.
He was probably thinking of his deceased father.
Calling Mu Yunji by his given name was a sign of youthful ignorance at the time.
Back then, the grasslands were vast and open, and the people living there were either soldiers who guarded the frontier year-round or their families.
There are also local residents.
The frontier is harsh and cold, but it is also free.
Over time, people adapted to local customs, married and had children locally, and gradually paid less attention to the rituals and education of the Central Plains.
When she met Mu Yunji, the handsome young master, she thought he was younger than her.
So they treated him like a younger brother and naturally started calling him by his given name.
But by then everything had changed.
Lu Qingyao gave an awkward smile and quickly refilled their teacups, calling out somewhat hesitantly, "Brother-in-law... Brother Mu..."
Only then did he ask them, "Have you come here to close the net?"
"Yes." Mu Yunji nodded.
"But then a very difficult problem arose..."
……
Hear this.
The brother and sister outside the door were already getting impatient.
Jiang Miaomiao sat on the small stool, no longer swinging her legs, and listened intently as Qiuqiu reported on the conversation inside the room.
Then she saw her older brother courting death.
He climbed the tree like a monkey.
Then, it leaped from the tree and landed gently on the roof.
He was lying on the roof tile with his butt sticking out, eavesdropping.
Surprisingly, his mother didn't open the door and just left him there.
Could it be that Mother is training my eldest brother's investigative skills?
However, that's also a possibility.
It is said that there is a type of scout in the army called a reconnaissance soldier.
Maybe my elder brother can start as a scout and gradually become a general.
Jiang Miaomiao looked up at the person lying motionless on the roof, then glanced at the person under the tree.
Her second brother sat quietly beside her.
He buried himself in his book.
He appeared very calm and composed.
But Jiang Miaomiao felt that her second brother was very nervous.
because……
Second Brother held the book upside down.
……
