The wife of the power minister's family

After all, he never expected that Xu Jing would move so fast, and the day they agreed to cooperate, he rushed back to Anping County.

He originally thought about telling Xu Jing those things when he came back to Xijing next time.

Xu Jing's brows were already frowning, and she said quietly: "It seems that we need to find a place to have a good chat."

Soon, they sat in the study room that Zhou Qi used to entertain guests in Xijing. Zhou Qi said: "I told you before, I have been sending people to pay attention to the Lin family in Guangmingtang during this period, so I know that they are here The high branch in Xijing is the Jiang family.

During that period, I also learned one thing. The relationship between the Lin family and the Jiang family is very complicated. It can be said that the two families have formed an in-depth cooperation. "

Xu Jing was slightly startled.

However, Zhao Shaohua clearly said that the Jiang family promoted the Lin family only because the Lin family had a secret recipe that could treat Mr. Jiang's asthma.

It seems that the relationship between them is not the kind of relationship that is on the surface, otherwise, Zhao Shaohua would not know about it.

Xu Jing said: "Can I ask your source of information?"

Zhou Qi hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Since we have cooperated, there is nothing we can't say, because I have always suspected that my father's death was related to Guangmingtang. In the past three years, I have arranged for several spies to enter After entering Guangmingtang, several spies have now been able to reach the core of Guangmingtang. Although they are still in a relatively peripheral area, the news he sent should not be false."

It turned out to be the case.

Xu Jing asked: "Then do you know what is the bond of in-depth cooperation between the Lin family and the Jiang family?"

Any kind of cooperation must be for profit, and for the Jiang family to take the initiative to cooperate deeply with the small Lin family, the interests involved are definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Zhou Qidao: "I actually don't know much about the specific matter. I just told you that my people are currently only in a relatively peripheral area, but he said that the Lin family and the Jiang family have been promoting something in the past few years. , seems to be related to...the military.

After I found out about this, I asked someone to inquire about it. I found out that the Jiang family started their career through military exploits. Now their husband mainly follows the path of a military general. The current head of the Jiang family is the governor of the Tianwu Army. In charge of an entire army, not to mention, the Jiang family's power in the Great Chu Army was already as large and complex as a spider's web.

So I guess what the Jiang family and the Lin family are pushing forward is to let Guangmingtang... take over the drug needs of the Chu army. "

Xu Jing's heart skipped a beat, she was actually supplying medicine to the army!

Xu Jing didn't know much about the Dachu army, but she also knew that there were more than 10,000 troops stationed in Xijing all year round!

Just from making medicines for these two 10,000+ sergeants, the profits are already too huge to be estimated!Not to mention the armies scattered throughout Dachu!

Looking at Xu Jing's expression, Zhou Qi knew that she had understood the deeper meaning. He sighed secretly and said: "So, I don't really believe you when you say that the Jiang family is not involved in Guangmingtang's suppression of us. Yes, in fact, in the past few years, Guangmingtang has not only suppressed our Tianyi Pavilion, but also many major medical clinics in Xijing.

Of course, Xijing is at the feet of the emperor. Their actions in Xijing do not dare to be too presumptuous, but they do a lot of small tricks secretly.

Moreover, what is very intriguing is that since three years ago, no new medical clinic has appeared in Xijing. "

Xu Jing said in a deep voice: "If they want to stand out and be selected by the imperial court to supply medicine to the army, they don't want other strong opponents to appear."

No wonder Jiang Yu told her the day before yesterday that Guangmingtang would not provoke them again in a short time!
In that short period of time, that was what it meant!
Xu Jing cleared her thoughts, raised her hand and rubbed her temples, and said, "I understand Mr. Zhou's worries, but Mr. Zhou can put his mind at ease."

Seeing Zhou Qi's puzzled look, Xu Jing thought about it and told her how she got the Jiang family to open a semicolon for Tianyi Pavilion in Xijing.

She just omitted the details of how she helped Mrs. Jiang, and simply said that she did a big favor to Mrs. Jiang.Zhou Qi was dumbfounded when he heard this. Xu Jing finally said: "Jiang Erlang personally promised me that Guangmingtang will not provoke me and my friends in a short time. This sentence actually means that it has opened a way for Tianyi Pavilion by default. Well, as long as Tianyi Pavilion doesn’t do anything that conflicts with the interests of the Jiang family, the Lin family and the Jiang family should not take the initiative to provoke us again."

Zhou Qi suddenly smiled bitterly, "Don't do anything that conflicts with their interests... It's easy to say, but it's not that easy for me to watch the enemy who killed my father so proud."

It is not difficult to imagine that if the plans of the Lin family and the Jiang family go well, the Lin family will soon become the most prominent medical family in Da Chu. No matter how many branches their Tianyi Pavilion opens in Xijing, they will not be able to match it.

How willing would he be to do this!
Xu Jing glanced at him and said softly: "Master Zhou, you are a smart man. You know what can and cannot be done. The Lin family has been planning this matter for so many years. How can others think of it?" Destruction will destroy it, and the most important thing is to do your own thing first. No matter what, your father who is under the influence of Jiuquan will definitely be very happy to know that you have restored Tianyi Pavilion to its former glory."

Zhou Qi was silent for a moment. He didn't know that what Xu Jing said was right. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Don't worry, Mrs. Xu, I won't mess around. The preservation of Tianyi Pavilion and the Zhou family is always the most important thing. What's more, I can't live up to Madam Xu's expectations of me.

Madam Xu has done us such a big favor this time, and I have no way to repay her, so I will offer tea to Madam Xu instead of wine. "

As he spoke, he raised the tea cup on the coffee table in front of him, gestured to Xu Jing, and drank it in one gulp.

Because he had to prepare for the opening of Tianyi Hall in Xijing, Zhou Qi stayed in Xijing for a longer time this time. Different people came in and out of the Zhou family every day, which was really lively.

These excitements have little to do with Xu Jing. She is busy with her own affairs these days. In addition to training the doctor and the Cheng Xianbai brothers and sisters, she also has to teach the five female medical children that Zhou Qi found for her.

Occasionally, when I have free time, I go to Xiao Yi's house to read the files on the Smiling Killer case.

She had previously promised Xiao Yi that she would help him solve this case, not to mention that she still cared about this case and was willing to spend her time on it.

On this day, when Xu Jing was reading the files at Xiao Yi's house, Xiao Yi had to go out because Xu Jing came more often recently, and the servants in the house even prepared a rest room for her.

After Xiao Yi came back, he heard from the servant that Madam Xu was here. He couldn't help but moved his eyes slightly and went straight to the room where Xu Jing was.

As soon as he stepped into this room, he was slightly stunned.

But they saw that a wooden board had been erected in the room at some point, with a piece of white paper nailed to it. On the white paper was drawn a table, which neatly listed the details of each victim in the Smiling Killer case.

Fan Xueer, 16 years old, disappeared on March 19, the second year of Tianxi. On March [-], her body was found near Xiaosonglin on the outskirts of Xijing.

Zeng Tao, 19 years old, disappeared on February 22th of the third year of Tianxi. On February [-]nd, her body was found near Aiwan Pavilion on the outskirts of Xijing.

Chen Lili, 22 years old, disappeared on January 19, the fifth year of Tianxi. On January [-], her body was found near Xiangsi Cliff in the suburbs of Xijing.

Qian Honglian, 24 years old, disappeared on July 26, the fifth year of Tianxi. On July 31, her body was found near Famen Temple on the outskirts of Xijing.

Sun Man, 20 years old, disappeared on January 20, the sixth year of Tianxi. His body was found near Xiaobeipo on the outskirts of Xijing on January 27.

The name, age, time of murder, location where the body was found, etc. are all clear at a glance.

Xu Jing was standing in front of the wooden board with a thoughtful look on her face. When she heard the footsteps, she immediately turned her head and saw Xiao Yi. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said: "Shilang Xiao, you came back just in time. I have read all the files today. I discovered a few key points that I would like to discuss with you.

First of all, I found that the bodies of almost all the victims were found a few days after they disappeared. This shows that the murderer kidnapped them and imprisoned them for a period of time. The murderer must have an unknown person. Safe house! "
