Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 651
After leaving the vassal mansion, Jiang Tian took time to go around the local area again, visiting more than a dozen Zhuangzi under the leadership of Bo Lanxi;In the end, he went to the back office of Lanxi County and interrogated him for a few words with lit snake lizard ointment.

In the end, after Jiang Tian left Lanxi County, he also confirmed two things.The first point is that since his predecessor secretly left, Lanxibo's family has never adopted other heirs; or to say that Lanxibo's No.19 family has only this stepson who is studying abroad.

Then, this led to the second question, who in the name of his predecessor married the Shen family in Beijing; and successfully defrauded the other party's trust?This is too unbelievable. As a member of the Empress Dowager Yao and Shun's family, the Shen family is not a broken family.

On the contrary, as the contemporary Patriarch of the Shen family, he not only serves as a courtier and a well-known academic official, but also owns Wengshan Island, where the county government was once established, as his vassal residence.What kind of method is it that can convince them that they will marry their own daughters and let their elder brothers go to deliver the marriage?

However, the second point is even more intriguing; for example, according to Jiang Tian's local snooping and inquiries, Benxiang, as a vassal and vassal under the name of Lan Xibo, also did not know of this marriage; he had never even heard of such a marriage. rumors and omens; yet it also means something.

Apparently, someone has been secretly replacing and using the abandoned identity of Jiang Tian's predecessor; and using this identity to deceive Shen's daughter, and then disappeared without a trace. The vast majority of related people, etc., are still unaware of this.

Then, it leads to the third question; what kind of existence is it that can have the resources and energy to deal with the official face; , In the feudal affairs court, reporting and registering;

Based on this, the corresponding family pedigree is compiled, so that when an heir is born in the future, it can be rewarded and canonized; or when there is an inheritance dispute in the family, it can be used as a reference for the succession sequence of relatives and estrangements.Therefore, the person who went to the capital to ask for employment and apply for a period must have a complete official status.

According to the statement provided by Shen Yizhi when he was awake, it was the internal history of the Pedestrian Administration under the three managements and four leaders of the Yizhou Fan who was in charge of foreign negotiations.He also provided authentic identification cards and letters, as well as written documents from the same family from Shen's hometown who guarded Wu Xing's ancestral house.

Because relatively following the Empress Dowager Yao and Shun, the Daozhengfang Shen family took root in the capital; the same clan located in Wu Xing’s hometown had a long-term tradition of marriage and intermarriage with the foreign feudal vassals in the East China Sea; it also included Tonghai Gongshi in Dadao, Yizhou ; Therefore, I am also happy to facilitate this matter.

And the people who came to pick up the bride in Mingzhou (now Ningbo) port were also a team with complete ceremonies, ostentation and scale that could not be faulted; However, he managed to get Shen Yizhi to escape and come back to report and ask for help...

In this way, the fourth question arises; what kind of existence/behind the scenes is able to prepare such a decent wedding fleet in Mingzhou Port; Little heard of on the Big Island?Undoubtedly, it is somewhat obvious.

Coupled with the fact that Jiang Tian's predecessor had been replaced for a long time, and even this time he was directly used as a stepson to take the blame.He couldn't help but sighed, what kind of malice and hatred came from to arrange a frame on a person who was no longer a threat, and even rumored to have disappeared for a long time?
Therefore, Jiang Tian felt that it was necessary to go to Dongning Mansion to find out.On the other hand, regarding the "Madam" who came to visit, Jiang Tian also slowly remembered the identity of the other party.Unsurprisingly, she was once a female official who was responsible for teaching and raising her predecessor.

At least before that sad incident happened, she was always regarded as a mother and sister by her predecessor.However, she finally chose to obey the order from the office; cooperate with the person to send the predecessor away.So after so many years, she has been promoted to be Mrs. Ronghua in the back house of the office.

It can be regarded as the master of the contemporary office/Tong Haigong, one of the few side concubines; in the absence of the wife of the main room for a long time, it can be regarded as an important existence in the back house of the office.What's more important is that this Mrs. Ronghua is also surnamed Shen, Shen of the Shen family of Wu Xing, who was once a female historian in the palace.

When the Empress Dowager Yao and Shun were in power, although relatives of the same family were forbidden to serve as officials for a long time, she was extraordinarily lenient towards women from distant families from Wu Xing's hometown.He is often promoted as a palace man or female historian around him; then he uses this to improve his status and assigns him a good family status.

Obviously, Mrs. Ronghua Shen is one of them.I don't know what kind of role she played in it.Of course, when Jiang Tian went to Dongning Mansion this time, he didn't need to wait and take a carriage; he only needed to start from Taiping Prefecture and go directly with the sun and astrology as a reference.

Just like the birds on the Tropic of Cancer, along the roughly straight-line distance in the sky, they crossed a large area of ​​mountains, fields, fields, and manors from the air; winding roads, river bridges, and ferries like thin lines. weave.Occasionally see walls and forts.

It is the daily defense line between the towering mountains and rolling hills near the island; it guards a road leading to the depths of the mountain.So it was only at dawn the next day that Jiang Tian found a nearby intersection, and when he landed to rest and eat, he found that he had arrived in Dongning Prefecture.

Judging from the piles of seals and standing signs at the intersection, this place belongs to Poma Township, Group Yi County, one of the eleven counties in Dongning Prefecture.Then, standing on the treetop, he had a thought, and suddenly a huge platform appeared out of thin air, which was placed in the treetop, and on the platform was a pile of food of various colors.

There are Yangzhou's beef soup paste, crab powder porridge, Jiangning's three-flavored duck, and grilled fish paste; Jiangling's sugar crab and assorted bean soup; It was collected well, so when it was taken out again, it was still hot as before,

This is another convenience of the "Dimensional Bubble" module. The things stored in it are instantly kept in the original state; they will not change until they are taken out again.Therefore, when the energy is relatively sufficient, Jiang Tian will also collect some delicacies and snacks encountered along the way;
There are even ice cubes and cold drinks ready to grab and go.So he slowly enjoyed the breakfast in the morning dew and the sound of the wind; and thought about his next move.As the residence and palace of the Tonghai government; the defense and vigilance of Dongning Mansion are not comparable to other places.

Before finding clues about Shen Xin and his predecessor, Jiang Tian didn't want to rush in there without thinking in public, causing more casualties and other collateral damage for no reason.So, the next step is to find a focus, such as Lan Xibo's mansion in the city?The next moment, he suddenly moved his ears.

He heard the sound of breaking, trampling the branches and leaves, and chasing in the distant mountains and forests; just as Jiang Tian stood up and wanted to avoid this right and wrong, an exclamation of a female voice made him stop suddenly again. Step down.Because not long ago, he had only heard this voice.

In the small courtyard of the Lanxi Mansion, one of the twin maidservants beside Mrs. Ronghua made a soft voice.Then, through the gap between the dense treetops in the deep forest, he saw a red skirt prancing like a shadow, running like a rabbit to the edge of the forest, and was suddenly caught by chains around his ankles.

In an instant, in the soundless whine, facing the road that was close at hand, he was dragged back with all his strength by the existence in the depths of the secluded forest; only a few long ravines that grabbed the ground with force were left.Then I heard a sigh of relief: "Finally caught up." "This girl can really run."

Immediately afterwards, there was another brief entanglement and fierce struggle, which turned into a woman's screams and cries of pain: "I told you to run!" "You still dare to resist.".Then there was an increasingly heavy male gasp: "Since this little girl has become like this, how about letting me get some compensation."

"It's not like I said it, except that the lady can't move." Then someone responded: "The rest of the people around me can be dealt with casually, as long as they don't leave alive or other evidence."The next moment, the sound of tearing silk sounded as if impatiently, followed by a wailing sound following the rough action.

At the same time, Jiang Tian, ​​who came quietly, also saw several masked men in tight brown coats and hoods who were eager to form a circle in the depths of the dark forest.On the ground in the middle, they held down a weeping girl with disheveled hair and torn skirt, revealing a large snowy muscle.

It's just that her little mouth was tightly clamped from the back of her head, and she couldn't make any more sounds; she could only stare at Jiang Tian who suddenly appeared. "Who?" However, the person who was facing her who was about to engage in hand-to-hand combat suddenly turned his head alertly and waved a willow-leaf dart.

But he only saw a flash of light in the corner of his eyes; then, his vision was turned upside down, and he saw a headless body with blood spurting from the neck, lying on top of the naked female body.The several companions who jumped up in an instant were also suddenly suffocated in the air and fell apart.

In the end, there was only one accomplice who happened to be watching the wind and fled away in fear.However, he couldn't escape a scream; he was carried back by Jiang Tian with his hands and feet broken.Then he threw it heavily on the ground, stepped on his chest and asked, "What are you, you dare to harm others in front of me?"

"They are the Falcons, the Fusang Fan in the East China Sea, who specialize in collecting money to kill and set fire." However, the girl who was sluggish and curled up on the ground struggled to get up, hugged her chest and covered her legs, and said hoarsely: "The little girl is an official servant. , I am grateful to the martyrs for their rescue, but I have the audacity to ask the martyrs to help me."

"Now, my wife is in danger of being invaded by thieves and bandits, and she is trapped in Guangshan Temple dozens of miles away; my daughter is just lucky enough to escape and report the news. I also ask the martyrs to take me to the nearest government and feudal mansion for help. In the future, I will If you have glory, wealth, fame, position and fortune, you will be rewarded with great rewards!"

"It's kind of interesting." Jiang Tian, ​​who had already put on a mask, smiled lightly, "However, what if I'm only interested in you?"

"Please forgive me, my little girl, she is already unable to serve the present with her appearance." However, seeing her dusty little face flushed and changing color several times, she gritted her teeth and said, "Please help me first." I appealed to the government for help, and my little girl should go away with the righteous man."

"It seems that you really don't hesitate to be loyal to that lady." Hearing this, Jiang Tian chuckled again and said, "It's a pity that I'm inconvenient, and I don't want to provoke the government, let alone give up your benefits, so , I can only be wronged for a while... still don't know your name?"

However, the next moment, Jiang Tian saw her suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and passed out.Well, obviously, exhausted from fleeing all the way, and mentally exhausted from the shock, he couldn't bear this joke anymore.
