Jinghong Tower

Zhou Cangyue's eyes turned red.

Liu Ada was sent out by him.

Yongxin City is the prefecture city, and the prefect here is named Ma Xingzhou.

I don't know if the name was chosen incorrectly, but Ma Xingzhou is not only a good guy, but he is also a famous cuckold.

His wife's surname is Liu, yes, the Liu from Liushan River.

Ma Xingzhou is Liu Shanhe's niece-in-law.

Mrs. Liu's biggest hobby is raising pretty boys.

Before she got married, she got involved with her brother's book boy and had a child.

At that time, Ma Xingzhou had nothing but the title of Jinshi. He lived in a small house in the capital with two poor Jinshi who were in the same situation as him. He had bad luck and met a Shangguan with a hot temper and a good background. Therefore, he In the yamen, I was often scolded by the superior officers for the smallest things.

Ma Xingzhou desperately wanted to leave the capital and be on his own. To do this, he could put aside his dignity.

Mrs. Liu was worried about the risk of miscarriage, and her parents were angry that she didn't love herself, so they wanted to marry her off.

Both Ma Xingzhou and Madam Liu have bright futures.

So Ma Xingzhou had the opportunity to go out and became the Liu family's son-in-law, and got an eldest son for free.

Mrs. Liu took her beloved book boy and followed Ma Xingzhou to Xiangdi.

Unfortunately, the book boy soon fell out of favor. Mrs. Liu had new loves, and there were more and more new loves. She often got into fights because of jealousy.

Ma Xingzhou even set aside a yard for the men who came and went to live in the family.

Mrs. Liu was very grateful for her husband's consideration and supported her husband's career without hesitation.

However, in just five years, Ma Xingzhou took the position of governor of the state.

In order to thank Ma Xingzhou for his knowledge and knowledge, Mrs. Liu sent him several beauties, two of whom were Miao girls.

They are not ordinary Miao girls, but the daughters of the Miao king of a village.

Of course, the daughter of a Miao girl would not become a concubine for a Han official without any reason.

For this, Ma Xingzhou paid a heavy price.

Moreover, Yongxin City belongs to Fengning Mansion, and the city of Fengning Mansion was occupied by the Huwei Army as early as last year, and the prefect has become a ghost under the sword.

Therefore, the current Yongxin City is actually a broken kite. Not only is the city gone, but the road to Jinling has also been cut off.

In this case, as the magistrate of the state, Ma Xingzhou did not want to abandon the city and flee. Of course, he had nowhere to escape, so he had to find a backer who could resist the powerful army.

The Miao King of his cheap Yue family has been watching with covetous eyes.

Ma Xingzhou hit it off with the Miao King. He needed the Miao King's military support. The Miao King had no ambition to conquer the world, but he could compete with other villages based on a city.

Therefore, when Zhou Cangyue led his army to prepare to attack Yongxin City, the actual person in charge of Yongxin City was already the Miao King.

This morning, Liu Ada led people into a hill not far from the Miao village, where the Miao king's adoptive father lived.

King Miao lost his father when he was young, and his adoptive father raised him. Therefore, King Miao was very filial. The relationship with his adoptive father is very close.

Moreover, this adoptive father was a Han Chinese. King Miao knew Chinese characters, could speak Chinese, understood Han culture, and knew how to win over and coerce Han officials. This was all taught by his adoptive father.

This is his adoptive father and his military advisor.

Liu Ada went to arrest the Miao King's adoptive father. Therefore, according to the news received by Zhou Cangyue, the Miao King's adoptive father committed crimes in the Han area in his early years and fled to the Miao village.

And the reason why he adopted King Miao was because although King Miao lost his father when he was young, he was from a good background. His adoptive father adopted King Miao and was able to gain a foothold in the Miao village. As King Miao grew up, so did his adoptive father. He became a figure that no one in the Miao village could shake.

He didn't like living in a place with Han people. Therefore, although King Miao came to Yongxin City, his adoptive father did not come with him.

Zhou Cangyue was very interested in this foster father, so he sent Liu Ada to invite his foster father over for tea. He wanted to see who this foster father was.

But he never expected that Liu Ada would fall into the hands of the Miao people.

Zhou Cangyue was filled with grief and anger, and punched his injured leg.

It's all his fault, otherwise he would have caught the foster father and military advisor with his own hands.

Severe pain came from his legs, but Zhou Cangyue calmed down.

He had to think carefully about how to overcome this level.

He Ran doesn't know about Zhou Cangyue's predicament yet.

Zhou Cangyue's gift was delivered to the capital a month later.

But Zhou Cangyue never expected that what He Ran received was completely different from what he sent out.

Bamboo tubes and cups made of bamboo were not only moldy, but also cracked!
But the Jinghong Tower carved on it is still there, but the face of the little girl in a green skirt with a double-snail bun has been split in two.

He Ran frowned at first, then smiled.

But when she saw the split little girl, she felt a little pity.

She knew who that little girl was, it was her!

Not to mention, Zhou Cangyue's carving skills were pretty good. If the little girl's face hadn't been cracked, it would still be 70-80% similar to hers.

At the same time as Zhou Cangyue's gift, there was also a letter from Xiu Gu.

Tang Meiren, who was rescued by accident last time, was still in a bad mental state after waking up, but according to Bitao, it was much better than when she was in the palace.

Xiugu said that she could send Tang Meiren back to her parents' home, but Tang Meiren refused, and she almost fell ill because of this.

However, Tang Meiren and Qiqin were very attached to each other. Therefore, when Qiqin returned to Suzhou, she took Tang Meiren with her.

Bi Tao is now working as a handyman in Jinghong Tower in Huizhou, and Xiugu asks the boss what the arrangements are.

Bitao's condition is no longer suitable for continuing to make nails, at least not in Jiangnan, but she has been trained for many years, and it would be a pity not to do it.

The implication is that he wants to send Bitao to places other than Jiangnan.

Although Bi Tao is in Jinling, her "working relationship" is in the capital.

He Ran thought about it and ordered Xiugu to send someone else to the palace, while Bi Tao returned to the capital to wait for arrangements.

Bitao, who is far away in Huizhou, is sweeping the floor. She sweeps it very clean. This is the only thing she can do now.

Baidie came back from the outside and saw Bitao sweeping the floor. The broom in Bitao's hand seemed to have a grudge against the ground, and every move had the momentum to sweep the three armies.

Bai Die burst into laughter, Bitao raised her head, wondering what the big shopkeeper was laughing at.

Bai Die said: "Okay, no need to sweep the floor, go to Beijing, the boss will let you go back."

Bi Tao was startled, then threw away the broom, laughed, and ran away dancing.

Baidie bent down and picked up the broom: "If you want to go crazy, you have to sweep the floor before going crazy again."

Bitao's madness only lasted for a candle. After she went mad, she turned back to the quiet and reserved little Bitao.

He Hua came to see her and told her to leave tonight.

Bi Tao regretted that she still wanted to see Tang Meiren in Suzhou. Not a farewell, just a sneak peek.

Tang Meiren was just someone she met while working undercover. People like them couldn't establish friendship with others during the process of working undercover.

She said to He Hua: "Sister-in-law He Hua, if you have the opportunity to meet Master Qiqin in the future, please ask Meiren Tang for me if she is doing well."

He Hua asked: "I asked, but I can't tell you."

Bi Tao sighed: "Then wait until the day we are destined to meet again, and then you can tell me."

Desolation filled He Hua's heart. Is there ever a day when we are destined to meet again? Maybe for a lifetime.

Bitao walked away quietly.

She has many identities, Bitao is just one of them.

Her real name is He Pan, which was given to her by Xiaokui. She is one of the countless orphans rescued by Xiaokui.

The next day, Bai Zhiyuan came to Jinghong Tower and saw the broom thrown aside. He looked around and did not see the girl who was sweeping the floor every day.

Soon, He Pan came to the capital, and it was Lu Chang who received her.

She reported her last alias, and Lu Chang gave her a thumbs up: "You are Bitao, I know you are awesome!"

He Pan was startled and asked with a guilty conscience: "Big shopkeeper, why am I so powerful?"

Lu Chang laughed loudly: "Anyone who dares to steal a woman from the emperor is certainly powerful."

He Pan blushed.

The next day, Lu Chang took He Pan to Laomofang Hutong. As soon as he entered, he heard Xiaoba's voice: "The beauties are here. Hey, two beauties are here today!"

Obviously, Master Ba has a very good impression of Lu Chang, and He Pan brought by Lu Chang also catches the eye of Master Ba.

He Ran was reviewing official documents. Logically speaking, Lu Chang wouldn't dare to let people circulate them, but Master Ba was happy today.

Master Ba flew to He Ran's desk and said, "The beauty is here, and she also brought a beauty."

He Ran was helpless, and of course curious about which beauty it was, so she asked Xiaoba to bring someone in.

He Ran was startled when he saw the girl next to Lu Chang. The girl's appearance was somewhat familiar.

After learning that this was Bitao from Jinling and that her name was He Pan, He Ran asked, "Are you an orphan?"

"Yes, this subordinate was thrown in front of Grandma Kui's house." He Pan said.

He Ran said: "You stay in the capital for now, I will make arrangements in two days."

After Lu Chang and He Pan all left, He Ran sent someone to invite Li Jinxiu.

He Pan was arranged to enter the palace by Li Jinxiu.

"Do you know anything about He Pan's life experience?" He Ran asked.

Li Jinxiu was startled: "She was picked up by Xiaokui at the door of her house. Xiaokui adopts girls. Many people in the local area know that. People who give birth to daughters who don't want to raise them often put their children in the alley of Xiaokui's house. , She picked up thirteen or four children in her alley, and this He Pan was one of them. "

He Ran said: "I met He Pan today, and I think she looks a bit like Liu Shanhe."

Li Jinxiu was startled and thought she had heard wrongly.

"Who does it look like? Liushan River? How is it possible? Besides, Mr. Master, have you ever seen Liushan River?"

He Ran shook his head: "Although I have never seen Liu Shanhe, I have seen his portrait. I know what Liu Shanhe looks like. I just think He Pan looks like Liu Shanhe, and he is very similar. "

Li Jinxiu calmed down. She had seen Liushan River before.

There are differences between civil and military affairs, and nobles and courtiers are two different circles. Therefore, although Li Jinxiu and Liu Shanhe have spoken to each other, they are not familiar with each other.

However, now carefully recalling Liu Shanhe's appearance, Li Jinxiu suddenly discovered that the master was indeed right, and He Pan's appearance was indeed somewhat similar to Liu Shanhe's.

But there are two people, one male and one female, one big and one small. Anyone who is not overly smart will not connect them together.

Thinking of this, Li Jinxiu broke into a cold sweat, and she was a little scared.

It was also thanks to the fact that the emperor was not a womanizer, otherwise he would have discovered the suspicious features of Bi Tao's appearance.

It seems that next time I send nails out, I must be more careful.

Li Jinxiu sent someone overnight to investigate the old affairs of the Liu family, and this investigation actually led him to find Ning Ming.

Eighteen years ago, a pregnant concubine in Liushanhe ran away. Liushanhe was very angry and searched everywhere, but he could not find her in the end.

Unfortunately, there was no effective paternity test in ancient times, and everyone could only judge the parent-child relationship based on their facial features.

Li Jinxiu told He Ran everything he found out, and He Ran said: "It seems that when sending out nails in the future, you must be more cautious than before. It seems that I was right to let He Pan leave Jiangnan."

In addition to the emperor, Jiangnan also had Liu Shanhe, who was slightly less popular than the emperor.

Once he discovered that there was a maid who looked exactly like the Liu family hiding in the palace, the matter became a big deal.

At the same time, a man rushed into Liu Shanhe's study and said breathlessly: "The whereabouts of Yao Ji have been found."

Liu Shanhe was displeased: "What's going on in a hurry?"

The attendant suppressed his surprise and said to Liu Shanhe: "Sir, Yao Ji once gave birth to a baby girl in a village next to Shunde Mansion. Later, she gave the baby girl to a kind-hearted old lady in Shunde Mansion.

After that, Yao Ji left Shunde Mansion and was never heard from again.

"She gave birth to a baby girl? Liu Shanhe suddenly felt a little regretful.

Not a man!

Liu Shanhe asked: "What about the adopted children? Are they still living there?"

The attendant shook his head: "That old lady is from Jinghong Tower. She used to be He Ran's maid. She is very powerful."

Liu Shanhe's expression froze: "You said the person who adopted the child is from Jinghong Tower?"

"Yes, her name is He Xiaokui, and she was He Jinghong's maid when she was young. Most of the children she adopted went to Ran Jun or Jinghong Tower," the attendant said.

"Where is Yao Ji's daughter? If she didn't want to raise the child, she should have sent the child back to the Liu family instead of to Shunde. What's more, the old lady's true identity turned out to be from Ran Jun."

What makes Liu Shanhe even more unbearable is that his daughter, Liu Shanhe, is most likely in Ran Junli now.

Just thinking about seeing him and his daughter on the battlefield one day makes Liu Shanhe feel bad.

"Continue to check and find out where the child is now." Liu Shanhe said these words as if he had used all his strength.

His daughter became Ran Jun!
There was nothing more uncomfortable than this, and he felt like he was going crazy.

Liu Shanhe knows best who he is today.

If he was told that his daughter had become Ran Jun, the emperor would definitely not think that he didn't know about it.

With the emperor's character, he must have thought that their Liu family had been conquered by He Ran.

"Send someone to contact the north. Quick, be sure to check and see if there is anyone who looks like me in the north. It's a woman, a girl." (End of Chapter)
