Chapter 59 20 years ago
Mrs. Jingci held the plate of cooked wontons in the food box, paused, and asked Qiao Ran, "What did Jingyuan say?"

"Little Master Jingyuan only knows that they are two distinguished guests from Chang'an," Jiang Shaoyan smiled, but spoke for Jingyuan, "But he was born very well, and Baoling seldom sees such an outstanding young master. , I even remembered a lot of what the two young masters said to her. I heard that although the two young masters were very interested in Baoling, they were more interested in Jiafengxuan. There are many rumors that the jade-faced judge from Dali Temple has come to Baoling, and I think it should be these two."

"What a disaster!" Mrs. Jingci, who was carrying the wonton plate, picked up another green wonton to eat, but because she ate it too quickly, she coughed for a while because of the rattan pepper juice in it.

"In addition, someone who can be treated so formally by Mrs. Jingci must have a different status. I think she is a nobleman from Chang'an City." Jiang Shaoyan smiled and handed Mrs. Jingci the tea in hand, He said with a smile, "The rattan pepper is a bit spicy and choking, please drink your saliva and take it easy!"

This yin and yang ability is really extraordinary!Master Jingci took a sip of the water handed by Jiang Shaoyan, calmed down a bit, and couldn't help worrying: "The little nuns in this nunnery are so unclean, after the old nun passed away, the Guangming nunnery What can I do?"

Jiang Shaoyan looked at Mrs. Jingci, who was eating a mouthful of ravioli, and hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, Mrs., it will be decades later, and by then, Jingyuan will not be small anymore, it won't be like it is now Seeing the good-looking young master, I confessed everything."

This Mrs. Jingci's body is very good, it's too early to think about it.

"It's always necessary to plan ahead, but it's a pity that Miss Jiang Si is not interested in Buddhism." Master Jingci said and glanced at Jiang Shaoyan complaining.

Xiangli's complexion changed when she heard it, and she hurriedly said: "That's not good, our lady still has to choose a young lady, there is a fellow Jinshi from Baoling who will come to see my lady during the Dragon Boat Festival, I heard that The unique appearance of the Jinshi students is very good!"

Although she didn't quite believe what Qian San said, but at this moment, facing Mrs. Jingci who wanted to persuade Miss to enter Buddhism, Xiangli felt that elder brother Qian San happened to be able to use it.

Master Jingci was quite surprised when he heard this: "There is such a fellow Jinshi in Baoling? Why have I never heard of it before?"

Baoling is a small town, and everyone knows that there are really outstanding people to this extent.

Jiang Shaoyan smiled but didn't take it seriously, she didn't believe Qian San's words at all, after all, if it was true what Qian San said, she would already be famous, and she wouldn't have found him by now.

However, she also believed that what Qian San said was from her heart, just like the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", Xiangli looked very pretty at this moment in her eyes!It's not the same, so don't dislike each other.

Xiangli at the side believed it a little bit, and after hearing Mrs. Jingci's questioning, she hurriedly said, "It's the elder brother of Qiansan, the high-yielding tyrant!"

Master Jingci's face remained unchanged, but what she said was honest and blunt: "I don't have any impression, I think this appearance is not outstanding."

Xiangli wanted to say more, but Jiang Shaoyan coughed, stopped the discussion between Xiangli and Mrs. Jingci, and turned the topic back to the previous question: "I guess the one who is more handsome and calm is that Lin Shaoqing Yes, because judging from the words of little master Jingyuan, his problems are mostly on Jiafengxuan; and the one with a red mole at the end of his eye should be the descendant of Jingci's old friend. Empress Gui, who came from an extraordinary background, actually asked Master Jingci to come to see you in formal clothes."

If it's just Lin Shaoqing who is investigating the case, Mrs. Jingci really doesn't have to be like this, so it is conceivable that the one who asked Mrs. Jingci to wear such a formal dress should be another one on the side.

Of course, it was the nickname of the jade-faced judge that allowed her to determine the identities of the two.

"To be called a judge with a jade face, he must be good-looking, but compared to Lin Shaoqing, that person's appearance is a bit more ostentatious. If he is the young minister of Dali Temple who judges cases like a god, his nickname would be even more ostentatious. I wouldn’t call him the nickname Jade Faced Judge, who is more calm than flamboyant.”

When Mrs. Jingci heard this, she put down the empty wonton plate she was eating, and couldn't help but glanced at her complainingly: "That's why I asked you to take over my Guangming Nunnery. Even if the six roots are not clean, you can't help it." Being able to stop demons with demons has curbed so many blue-faced disasters."

Of course, these words were just Mrs. Jingci's emotion and joking, Jiang Shaoyan laughed twice, and then talked about the business again: "Master Jingci really doesn't want to cause trouble, but let these two people from Chang'an keep an eye on them, Even if you don't stand in the government, no matter how bad you are, you have to stand in the middle, so naturally you won't tell the Fang family what I asked you today."

"Hi'er~" Master Jingci, who had burped, glanced at the raw wontons at the bottom of the food box, squinted her eyes in satisfaction, and finally said, "Of course people in this industry will not be clean, but if you talk about The dirtiest thing was 20 years ago.”

20 years ago?Jiang Shaoyan was taken aback when he heard that: "When the dynasty changes?"

Mrs. Jingci nodded her head, suppressed the joyful expression she showed just now when she was full of food and drink, and her expression became more solemn: "In those days, although Baoling was not affected by the flames of war, the roads and waterways in the south of the Yangtze River extend in all directions, so there will always be some difficulties. Those who survived the battlefield escaped to Baoling by water to take refuge..."

Twenty years ago, a merchant ship that fled to Baoling passed through Baoling and temporarily rested in the waterway near Baoling.But after resting for two days, on the night when the merchant ship left, something happened to the merchant ship, and the whole merchant ship sank to the bottom of the river.There are quite a few people in Jiangnan Road who know how to swim. Afterwards, many people who are good at swimming went into the water to try their luck.Some were lucky and got a lot of treasures on merchant ships, and some were greedy and lost their lives in accidents when they wanted to get more.

When Jiang Shaoyan heard this, she hurriedly asked Mrs. Jingci: "This matter is related to the Fang family?"

"There is a saying," Master Jing Ci did not give a firm answer, but just said, "All the treasures found on the merchant ships entered the gate of Jiafengxuan. Jiafengxuan bought low and sold high, and made a lot of money." Money soaked in human blood."

If that's the case... Jiang Shaoyan looked solemn: "Is there any evidence and clues to prove that Jiafengxuan did this?"

"If there is evidence, the Fang family will not be a snake in Baoling until now." Mrs. Jingci smiled wryly twice, shook her head, but then said seriously, "But although there is no direct evidence However, there is a lot of indirect evidence. After all, it is not that the Fang family has never done this kind of thing before. I heard that when the Fang family’s ancestors started their business, in addition to digging up ancestral graves and getting rich from the dead, they also did such things as borrowing natural and man-made disasters and looting by the people. Take advantage of the opportunity to buy low and sell high! Speaking of which, these items were collected from the common people, which is much better than the ones that were directly robbed, and the government can’t do anything to them.”

Hearing this, Jiang Shaoyan couldn't help but gasped: "It's really ruthless!"

"In addition, after that incident, only Jiafengxuan dared to accept these items, and Baoling's other pawn operations did not dare to move. I heard that they were secretly 'raised' by Jiafengxuan." Master Jingci Tai said with a solemn expression, "All kinds of circumstantial evidence prove that this matter is related to the Fang family."

Seeing the girl's serene and solemn profile, Master Jingci lowered her eyes and silently said "Amitabha".

She can see that the girl in front of her really likes to be a wealthy idler who studies food every day and lives recklessly, but sometimes there are some things she has to do.
