The bodyguard dragged them all down. Those well-dressed actors were stripped of their gorgeous costumes and couldn't move. They collapsed to the ground and were dragged by others. They were extremely embarrassed. Jin Mantang, who became famous for a while, became a prisoner in an instant.

Waiting for them is a more tragic ending than this one.

Jiang Li looked at Xiao Taohong's back.

Such a charming and moving Huadan, Rao is a woman who can't help but pity her, but Ji Heng is not moved at all.

Jiang Li looked back at Ji Heng again.

His red clothes were particularly gorgeous in the black-and-white courtyard, and there was no graceful singing just now on the scattered stage. Only the blood and swords scattered on the ground reminded that there had just been a fight here. But the beautiful young man gently shook his folding fan, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of romance. Where could he see the ruthlessness just now.

The heart is like steel, but the face is soft with fingers. Jiang Li has never seen such a person. Kill people while talking and laughing, quietly.

"Why does Miss Jiang Er look at me like this?" He said with a smile.

"The play just now is wonderful," said Jiang Li. "I admire the Lord."

Ji Xuan closed her fan and said, "I don't play."

"Yes," said Jiang Li, "Lord Guo didn't enter the play, so he won."

Ji Heng is too sober. Long ago, Jiang Li saw it. His heart distinguishes everything very clearly. He was dressed in bright red, but his heart was as clear as the black and white courtyard in front of him. He could see everything clearly. Therefore, when the little Taohong on the stage winked at him, and when the opera cavity moved the hearts of the audience, he smiled at the corners of his mouth, but his heart was full of ridicule.

For example, he knew that Jin Mantang followed him to Xiangyang, ostensibly to curry favor with him, but actually to assassinate him. He understood this play long ago. He could have prepared earlier, but he had to wait until this moment to let Jin Mantang sing the whole play.

He just wants to go to the theatre.

Jiang Li thought, maybe she, the Jiang family and the Ye family are just a play in Ji Chen's eyes. The reason why he pays attention is that he is still a little interested. As for how much he will really invest in watching a play, why spend too much effort? It can't be true.

Ji Xuan said, "the second young lady seems to have feelings?"

Jiang Li said with a smile, "I just feel that things are changing."

"Miss Jiang Er is quite satisfied with the play?"

"I dare not be dissatisfied." Jiang Li smiles.

"Don't say that I seem to be terrible," Ji Heng's lips curled and her voice was vaguely lowered. "Just now, when the second miss was in danger, didn't she drill into my arms with great fear?"

Jiang Li almost coughed out.

At that time, at a critical juncture, if she didn't find a shield, in case she died under the sword of manslaughter, she would be really wronged. Naturally, I want to let Ji Heng stand in front of me. At the moment, Ji Heng said this, but he still looked at her with interest, which made her just act have some different meanings.

"Things are urgent and you should be in power," said Jiang Lipi with a smile. "I'm sorry for being abrupt to the Duke of the country."

As a woman, she wanted to say "abrupt" words to the man and spread them to Yanjing city. She was afraid that she would also laugh off others' big teeth.

"Nothing." Ji Heng said, his eyes fell to the ground, suddenly bent down and picked up a thing.

When Jiang Li saw it, it turned out to be the jade pendant redeemed before. Xue Huaiyuan carved it with a knife when she was born.

She was surprised and hurriedly touched her neck. She saw that the rope on her neck was broken. She thought it was just a mess, and she was struggling to break it.

Jiang Li said, "that's my jade pendant."

Ji Xuan rubbed the jade pendant in her hand, and her eyes lingered on the jade pendant, and she saw the lifelike civet cat. Jiang Li was anxious and couldn't care about anything else. She stretched out her hand to grab it. Ji Xuan was not as good as she wanted. She leaned back slightly and raised her hand to hold the jade pendant high.

Jiang Li couldn't get it either, and said, "Grandpa, that's my jade pendant, please give it back to me."

"I heard that Miss Jiang er's single name is a pear." He laughed.

Jiang Li was stuffy. Everyone in Yanjing knew her name was Jiang Li. Ji Heng said this clearly on purpose.

"The people of the Ye family call you a Li. I don't know which pear it is. The pear of Lihua or the beaver of civet cat?" He bowed his head, his smile deepened at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes had a weak coldness, which seemed to be affectionate and confusing.

For a moment, Jiang Li felt that her blood seemed to be frozen.

She reluctantly laughed and said, "of course it's pear of pear flower."

"Really?" Ji Xuan stared at her for a moment, and her voice was particularly soft, "I think it's a civet cat's civet."

Jiang Li looked up at him.

The man is so beautiful that the crimson tear mole under his eyes is brighter and brighter at the moment, which also sets off his eyebrows more and more deeply.

Jiang Li said, "why do you say so?"

Ji Heng didn't speak. After a while, he smiled and said, "because you're not as cute as pear flowers, and you're as cunning as a civet cat. Aren't you, Ali?"

The lips and teeth of that "Ali" call are fragrant, but Jiang Li feels cold all over.

Ji Heng can't know her life experience, but he should also find something wrong. This is a temptation. Whoever shakes will lose.

Jiang Li raised her head and showed a smile. There was no flaw at all. She said, "the Duke of the country can call it as he likes. It's just a name around. It's just that others heard it, which would misunderstand our relationship."

Ji Heng smiled: "the second Miss always speaks so sad and unexpected."

Jiang Li looked at him and listened to Ji he again, "but what's surprising is that there is more than one thing. For example, I was surprised that Miss Jiang Er could find Tong Zhiyang's outer room."

Jiang Li sighed in her heart.

Tong Zhiyang's mother and son were taken away by Ye Mingyu's people. Tong Zhiyang couldn't find out their whereabouts, but Jiang Li knew that this matter must not be concealed from Ji Heng. Even those who dare to assassinate people in the palace, how can they not put people in Xiangyang.

With Ji Heng's skill, it's not difficult to send someone to stare at him anytime, anywhere.

"I want to know how Miss Jiang Er knew the whereabouts of Tong Zhiyang's outer room." He spoke softly and thoughtfully, but he was aggressive.

"There is no airtight wall in the world." Jiang Li looked at him calmly, "since Tong Zhiyang has done it, he will always show his horse's feet. It's not difficult to follow the horse's feet to find out the truth. I'm also very surprised that the Duke of the country will pay attention to other people's family affairs, such small things."

"It has nothing to do with you." Ji Heng smiled and said, "what Miss Jiang Er did is a big thing." After a pause, he added, "there is really no airtight wall in the world. Since it is done, it will always show its feet. Follow its feet and find out the truth sooner or later." he looked at Jiang Li with a smile: "isn't it?"

Jiang Li nodded, "yes."

She understood the implication of Ji Heng's words. There were many doubts about her. No matter how well she covered up, it was inevitable to expose her feet. As long as she caught these feet, one day, her secret would be revealed.

Maybe Ji Chen can really do it, but she's not afraid. She just wants to revenge for the Xue family. Besides, she doesn't care about the future.

Ji Xuan also seemed to see that she didn't care, and casually said, "Miss Jiang Er is not afraid of anything, because she has nothing to fear. Do everything carefully. Now Tong Zhiyang is staring at you, and no one dares to touch you."

Jiang Li suddenly looked at him.

This was also seen by Ji Heng.

Indeed, before coming to Xiangyang, Jiang Li thought that Ji shuran's mother and daughter had suffered such a big loss in the Palace Banquet. Looking back, she always doubted herself. Even if they didn't leave the palace for dinner, the mother and daughter couldn't tolerate themselves. This return to Xiangyang gave them a great opportunity to get rid of themselves.

Ji shuran's mother and daughter must have hired someone to spy on them. Once there is a problem, they must be ruthless killers. Announcing his identity at the door of Lizheng hall not only made Tong Zhiyang afraid and polite to the Ye family, but also gave himself a peace talisman.

Because of his special identity, Tong Zhiyang will make people secretly stare at his actions. And now Xiangyang people know that Tong Zhiyang has offended Jiang Li. If something happens to Jiang Li in Xiangyang, no matter what the truth is, Tong Zhiyang has to carry this pot. Others will only because Jiang Li and Tong Zhiyang are enemies, and Tong Zhiyang secretly kills people. Jiang Yuanbai will not let Tong Zhiyang go. So in order not to let himself bear the bad name in vain, Tong Zhiyang's people also have to protect Jiang Li.

This is also the hand of Tong Zhiyang's people to deal with Ji shuran. At least in Xiangyang, where Tong Zhiyang is located, Jiang Li is safe.

This is Jiang Li's Secret intention, but he didn't expect to have been seen by Ji Heng.

Jiang Li said with a smile, "what else is there in the world that the Lord doesn't know?"

"Yes." Ji Xuan looked at her with moving eyes, "that's you."

"Me?"

"The person I have met in my life," Ji Heng said, "at your age, Beiyan, male or female, has this plan, and you are the first."

"Thank you for your praise." Jiang Li said, "Jiang Li doesn't deserve it."

"You can afford it, I just wonder, since you are so smart, how could your stepmother drive you to Qingcheng Mountain eight years ago?" He asked with a smile.

"Man proposes, God disposes. I'm just unlucky." Jiang Li said with a smile, "besides, eight years ago, I was only seven years old. The Lord of the country compared me with me now. It's really harsh. God won't always care for someone. Eight years of money is bad luck for me, but there is a saying, Feng Shui turns around, and today it's my home." She smiled lightly.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Jiang Li smiled and nodded at him. At this moment, Ji Heng finally returned her jade pendant to her. Jiang Li returned a salute to him: "today's play is very wonderful, and I should go back. Just now, thank you for your help. Jiang Li is very grateful."

"Don't thank you," Ji Heng smiled. "In fact, Miss Jiang Er can walk away without me, can't she?"

Jiang Li's eyes were cold, and then she smiled and said, "thank you." She said goodbye to Ji Hu again, and then she turned and left in a leisurely manner.

After Jiang Li's figure disappeared outside the courtyard, Wen Ji appeared behind Ji Heng and said, "my Lord, people in the Golden Hall..."

"Don't let people die." Ji Xuan shook her fan and said, "after the trial, send it to her master."

Wen Ji answered and asked, "Miss Jiang er..."

"Keep staring." Ji Heng said, "the weaver will arrive soon. I want to see how she finishes the play next."

Wen Ji stopped talking and thought deeply in his heart. He also saw today's affairs from beginning to end. Jiang Li, a 15-year-old girl, faced the assassination of Jin Mantang. Although she panicked for a moment, she settled down for a moment, as if she was not afraid at all. Moreover, Wenji and her party also noticed that Jiang Li repeatedly stretched out her sleeve. Even at the critical moment of life and death, she did not have the idea of sitting helpless and waiting to die. She used to hide her moves and be ready for everything. As Ji Heng said, even if Ji Heng didn't fight today, Jiang Li might not be able to retreat.

Wen Ji looked at Ji Xuan, and the smile on Ji Xuan's face had been put away. When he put away his smile, tenderness and pity were all gone, and there were only indifference and fickleness, which was chilling.

Miss Jiang Er is not afraid of him, but she still keeps pace with him. It's really not simple

……

When Jiang Li returned to Ye's yard, tong'er and Bai Xue were startled. The corner of her skirt was stained with some fine blood, which was probably splashed on the assassin.

"Girl, what's going on? Where's the injury?" Tong'er was anxious and was about to check Jiang Li's injury.

"It's not my blood." Jiang Li comforted her, "I'll change my clothes. Don't mention it to others."

Tong'er and Bai Xue were worried, but seeing Jiang Li's serious look, they had to nod.

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, changed her clothes, sat down on the chair, and Bai Xue brought her a cup of hot tea. The two servant girls didn't know what had happened. They didn't talk to Ye Mingyu at the door of the mansion, and it was only an hour's effort. How did it seem that something terrible had happened?

Jiang Li drank some hot tea and gradually calmed down.

Today I wanted to talk about the depth of Ji Heng. Who knew that I would run into Jin Mantang to assassinate Ji Heng. It seems that Xiangyang is not peaceful. Those people clearly came for Ji Heng. She had nothing to do with Ji Heng, but in the eyes of those people, they thought that their relationship was very shallow. If they turned to her, it would be a disaster. At present, the matter of the Ye family has not been solved. She is still burdened with the blood debt of the Xue family, and she doesn't want to cause herself any more trouble.

You have to stay away from him.

When the matter of Xiangyang is solved and we return to Yanjing City, we won't have dealings with Ji Heng. This person's heart is too deep, and the secret on his back seems not shallow. Don't catch up with yourself.

"Today is the seventh day..." she murmured.

Seven days have passed since she spoke at the door of Lizheng hall. In addition, she had written a letter to Ye Shijie before that. In sum, it is these two days that the weaver should arrive.

Together with the people who ordered the weaving room, and with the outer room in the hands of others, Tong Zhiyang dared not interfere. At least the Ye family's affairs will not get worse and worse. Even if the right phase is behind it, because of the relationship between the Jiang family, the Ye family is safe for the time being.

In addition to the Ye family, the most important thing for her to come to Xiangyang is for Xue Huaiyuan. I don't know how qiongzhi of Xihua building inquired about it. Time is pressing. She still has to find an opportunity to go back to Xiangyang in person.

……

Two days later, the Weaver's order sent people to Xiangyang.

Zhishiling's people directly went to see Tong Zhiyang first. After ye Shijie reported the antique satin to zhishiling Xiangyang in the name of the Jiang family, Yanjing's zhishiling immediately realized that it was a big deal. The Ye family is not only the home of wailang, the newly appointed member of the Ministry of household affairs, but also the former in laws of Jiang Yuanbai, the current head of the household department. It can't be underestimated. They immediately sent people to speed up the whip and rushed to Xiangyang day and night on the road to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Tong Zhiyang didn't expect the people from Yanjing to come so quickly. These days, he is worried about the mother and son he raised outside. He almost searched Xiangyang City, but he couldn't find anyone. As soon as I was distracted, I relaxed a little about the Ye family, didn't think about it carefully, and just thought that I had written back to my brother-in-law about the change in Xiangyang City, to see what his brother-in-law could do.

But before my brother-in-law sent a letter, the Weaver's order arrived first. Tong Zhiyang didn't know what to do about it, so he had to get up and deal with it first, thinking that he could delay for a few days, and until he heard from Yanjing, he would know what to do next.

"Lord Tang," said Tong Zhiyang with a smile, "the antique satin of the Ye family is dead. At present, the people in charge of the Ye family are still in our Yamen. You should take care of the weaving, but we should take care of the dead. Therefore, the two masters of the ye family cannot be released."

The person sent by Zhishi to thoroughly investigate the case is Tang fan. It's hard to say anything after hearing Tong Zhiyang's words. Tong Zhiyang was right. They ordered the weaving room to just weave, regardless of killing people. Since the cloth of the Ye family was dead, it really should be checked by the Yamen.

"Nothing." Jiang Li, who came to discuss with Ye Mingyu, laughed, "we didn't ask Uncle Minghui and uncle Mingxuan to come out now."

Tang fan breathed a sigh of relief. Before he came, his boss clearly told him that this case related to the Shoufu Jiang family and the Ye family, and the most important thing was the Shoufu Jiang family. That's the first scholar in Yanjing city. Don't offend. In Yanjing City, in recent months, the story of Jiang Li has been widely spread. Everyone knows that the second miss of the Jiang family is a powerful master. Miss Jiang Er wanted to protect the Ye family, so they had to follow suit. If Miss Jiang Er insists on letting the two masters of the Ye family out now, their weaving order can only be tied to the Yamen.

Tong Zhiyang was stunned.

At the door of Lizheng hall, Miss Jiang er's words were really rude. Tong Zhiyang knew in his heart that this first daughter must be a domineering Lord. Since she wants to take the lead for the Ye family, she will certainly protect Ye Minghui and ye Mingxuan. If she refuses again for reasons, she can entangle with the people of the weaving room. In this way, the entanglement will not end soon, and she can buy herself some time to wait for a reply from Yanjing city.

Who knew that Miss Jiang ER was so talkative that she agreed quickly.

Tong Zhiyang thought this was Jiang Li's trick, and couldn't help looking at Jiang Li suspiciously, but seeing the girl's beautiful face and gentle smile, she had no intention and was pure and clear.

Maybe it's just bluff. In fact, it's just a little girl who doesn't know anything? Tong Zhiyang was puzzled. On second thought, Jiang Li was so good at talking, although he couldn't buy time. But ye Minghui and ye Mingxuan, who are in charge of the Ye family, are locked up, and the Ye family has no master. That ye Mingyu knew nothing about the Ye family's business, which was not enough evidence. Ye Jia'er and ye Rufeng were just two suckling children. The Ye family's scattered sand was not enough evidence. Even if the Weaver's order came, it was expected that nothing could be found out. After several days of negotiation, there was no result. It was time for Yanjing to have a new order.

Thinking of this, Tong Zhiyang suddenly felt relaxed and said with a smile, "so, we yamen won't bother about the antique satin. Lord Tang, please also thoroughly investigate the case and give an account to the people of Xiangyang."

Tang Fan said, "the responsibility lies."

Ye Mingyu also said, "everything is for Lord Tang."

Tong Zhiyang realized that the Ye family had invited the weaving room order, and there was nothing he could do for the time being. Just when he was complacent, he heard Jiang Li say, "Lord Tang, those people who wore clothes made of antique satin with rashes before have all been put away by us. Now the servants of the house have packed antique satin in boxes and sent it to the weaving factory at the foot of the mountain."

Tong Zhiyang was stunned. Tang fan looked at Jiang Li in surprise and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang Er thought very thoroughly."

"Lord Tang should let people check what went wrong with those antique satins. In addition, everything in the Ye family's weaving yard has never been moved, which is convenient for Lord Tang's people to check." Jiang Li said with a smile, "if you need the Ye family to do anything, the Ye family will try their best to help. Once Lord Tang finds out something, you can report and reply to the Zhishi order. The Zhishi order has news in Yanjing city. If it is the Ye family's reason, it will shut down the Ye family's weaving industry. If it is not the Ye family's reason, this matter will be complicated. I'm afraid there is another conspiracy in the middle, which must be investigated by the magistrate."

What she said was slow. Ye Mingyu didn't understand the official affairs, but was confused. Tong Zhiyang frowned and vaguely realized that Jiang Li was not the naive and ignorant miss he imagined. The most surprised thing was Tang fan. Everything Jiang Li said was indeed the process of Yanjing city officials. Is it possible that Jiang Yuanbai is still teaching his daughter these official affairs in the mansion? Otherwise, why did she say these things clearly and well, as if she had already remembered them.

Of course, they didn't know that the girl in front of them had been familiar with the official process as early as when she married Shen Yurong. At that time, Xue Fangfei didn't know how to help Shen Yurong. She just had the ability to remember everything, so she simply read all the official books of Yanjing City, including the official process. She knows the weaving order and what it will do when it comes. To tell Tang fan is to make Tang fan understand that at least in the matter of the Ye family, she is not easy to fool, so Tang fan must be serious.

If it was for the sake of Jiang Yuanbai before, Tang fan had to be polite to the Ye family. At present, Jiang Li's words can't help but make Tang fan have a little admiration in his heart. At the beginning, when Miss Jiang Er, who killed her mother and brother, returned to Beijing, everyone despised her, but she was stunned to become famous by relying on the school examination of the Ming Yi hall, and was personally presented by the emperor's majesty. Therefore, capable people are not bad everywhere. Even if they are in trouble, they can make a way by themselves.

Tang fan respectfully said, "well, time can't be delayed. Let's go to the weaving yard now."

Jiang Li and his party left with Tang fan, and Tong Zhiyang couldn't help but flash a trace of uneasiness as he watched them leave. He paused and asked the humanitarian around him in some irritability, "haven't you answered the letter from Yanjing?"

"Go back to the master, No."

"What a bunch of rubbish!" Tong Zhiyang scolded, "ask again, and," he lowered his voice, "if madam and young master don't fall again, don't blame me for being rude!"

His outer room and son are still missing. Tong Zhiyang suspects that they were abducted from Xiangyang City, but the time has passed so long that it is very difficult to find them now.

What a mess! He threw the cup on the table angrily.

……

Ye's weaving yard is in an open space at the bottom of the mountain in Xiangyang.

There is no one in the weaving yard. Since the accident of antique satin, the Ye family's weaving yard has been suspended from weaving cloth. The original antique satin has flowed into the whole Beiyan. The Ye family affairs spread here in Xiangyang City are boiling, but I don't know how it is in other places of Beiyan.

The loom of weaving was covered with a light layer of ash. Walking in from the door, Nuo Da's weaving yard looked particularly deserted. Ye Jiaer and ye Rufeng waited in the weaving field. Seeing Jiang Li and them coming, they hurriedly welcomed them.

"Cousin, you are here at last." Ye Jiaer said. Looking forward to the stars and the moon, finally, the weaver came. You know, the Ye family can't sleep well these days. Ye Minghui and his brother were also detained in the yamen, and Lizheng hall was also closed. The whole Xiangyang City was told that their Ye family's antique fragrant Satin killed people. If someone else changed, they would also have trouble eating and sleeping, and would be worried all day long.

Now that the weaving order comes, we can find out where the problem is, and if there is a real problem, and know where to correct it, instead of bumping around like a headless fly, sitting helpless in the same place, wondering what to do, and watching the situation get worse and worse.

"Cousin, where is the antique satin?" Jiang Li asked.

Ye Jia'er hurriedly said, "here it is." She staggered and exposed a row of neat wooden boxes on the terrace behind her.

The servants opened the wooden box, and Tang fan took his people to the wooden box.

The pattern of antique satin is very simple and dark. What's rare is the faint fragrance naturally emitted from the fabric. This is a fabric that only the Ye family can make, and it's not good for anyone else. Two years after the antique satin came out, it was hard to get one. In order to get one, those noble people even had to argue endlessly.

Today's antique satin has become a street mouse, everyone shouted, ye Jiaer and ye Rufeng's eyes showed a trace of sadness.

"We haven't touched these antique satins since they were taken off the guests." Jiang Li said with a smile, "if there is anything on the antique satin that can cause disease, it should still be on at the moment."

Tang fan reached out to twist a piece of cloth and rubbed it with his hands for a few times. He was about to recognize it. After a while, he leaned closer and gently sniffed it.

Ye Jiaer nervously held Jiang Li's hand. Jiang Li smiled comfortingly at her, and she was a little relieved.

Tang fan pondered for a while, and then asked his men to come closer and repeat his just move, as if he was confirming something.

Seeing that he seemed to see something, Jiang Li said, "did Lord Tang find something?"

Facing Jiang Li, Tang fan didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly said, "I can't say I found it, but it's a little strange."

"What's strange?" Ye Jia'er asked anxiously.

"How can there be a Tuoluo on this antique satin?"
