Chapter 461
Ganqing is that big-hearted maidservant, no wonder she found someone who doesn't understand anything to make trouble.

Presumably, the maid made a hasty decision and didn't have time to make more comprehensive arrangements.

Seeing her expression, Fang Niang asked carefully: "Little master, do you know that Concubine Shun is the aunt of Young Master Xiao? It is said that Concubine Shun loves Young Master Xiao very much, treats him as her own, and often rewards him with things. "

This matter involves Xiao Lang, how to deal with it needs to be considered more carefully.

"I see."

Yan Xiaowan showed a clear look, when the servant girl came to the door, she specifically explained the relationship between Concubine Ming Shun and Xiao Lang, she didn't pay much attention at that time.

After hearing these details from Fangniang, Yan Xiaowan suddenly realized, and immediately confirmed the identity of Xiao Lang's biological mother—Concubine Shun, the most magnificent concubine in those days, after Emperor Dog ascended the throne, regardless of her status, she was kidnapped and made her a concubine!

Seeing her not only not surprised, Fang Niang showed a sudden realization expression, she couldn't help being curious, what did the little master think of?
Yan Xiaowan let out a sneer: "Fang Niang, send someone to invite Mr. Xiao here."

The trouble should end it.

Xiao Lang's love debt, let him handle it himself.

Before Fangniang sent someone to invite her, Xiao Lang hurried over and opened his mouth to apologize: "Xiao Wan, I'm sorry."

"Huh? Why are you sorry for me?"

Yan Xiaowan was still smiling, she didn't look angry.

Seeing that she was still smiling, Xiao Lang felt a little uncomfortable for some reason: "I, the slaves at home have a big heart and have caused you trouble."

"Brother Xiao, it's not your fault." Yan Xiaowan shook her head, very reasonable.

The maid made her own decision and had no direct relationship with Xiao Lang.

Xiao Lang couldn't be happier: "I have already sent someone to deal with her, and no one will come to trouble you in the future."

Yan Xiaowan didn't care, and dragged him to meet someone: "Brother Xiao, this is just a trivial matter. The person who came to make trouble brought a message, you come with me and listen to what she has to say."

Xiao Lang looked down at the thin white fingers holding his wrist, "What news?"

Yan Xiaowan didn't show any subjective emotion, and gave a general description: "The aunt came from Qingyang, Jiangnan, and she said that she came here to escape from a flood in her family. The head of the family was killed at the gate of the city, and she was almost sold into the Goulan courtyard. The people who made trouble saw it and brought it along."

Xiao Lang grasped the key point precisely: "It's not the season when there is a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, where did the flood come from?"

Yan Xiaowan smiled slightly. Talking to smart people saves effort, "The aunt was vague and thought I was unreliable and didn't tell the truth. I just wanted to send someone to invite you over and ask clearly. By the way, I guess the big water is man-made."

Either a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.

Xiao Lang thought about this matter, and felt more and more strange: "I don't think this matter is so simple. How can there be so many coincidences in this world? It's just a coincidence that the troublemaker catches a random person who escaped from the famine by flooding his house? Xiaowan, is there anything else you haven't told me?"

Yan Xiaowan answered cleverly, that's all she knew: "The person I sent out to inquire about the news hasn't returned yet." Xiao Lang stopped asking, and after seeing the old lady, he revealed his identity. Keeping it under wraps, she revealed what she had hidden from Yan Xiaowan.

It turned out that her husband accidentally saved the life of the master in the Qingyang yamen while walking the darts, and learned from him that the Qingyang Dam might be blown up.

The master also gave her husband a letter, which said that the county lieutenant, who was second only to the county magistrate, was bought with 1 taels of silver and asked him to find a way to transport the explosives to the dam.

When the aunt got the news, she couldn't bear the death of her natal family, so she revealed the news behind her husband's back, which led to a fatal disaster.

Xiao Lang naturally wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the letter, and the aunt asked Xiao Lang to buy her something so that she could live in the capital.

Xiao Lang would naturally not refuse such a small request, but the premise was that the letter was valuable.

The aunt hesitated and refused to hand over the letter. She was not stupid, she knew that this letter was something for her life, so she was unwilling to hand it over like this.

Xiao Lang drank hot tea slowly: "The most dangerous place is the safest place. You are penniless, so the letter must be hidden on you. If I really had evil intentions, you would have died long ago."

The aunt was so scared that her face was completely bloodless, and she handed over the letter tremblingly.

Before Xiao Lang reached out to take it, Yan Xiaowan snatched the letter quickly, checked it carefully, and handed it to Xiao Lang if she didn't find any poison.

Xiao Langzhan read the letter, and there was indeed a mention of what the aunt said.

But it is useless to have this letter alone, because the person who contacted the little county captain is not a high-ranking official, at most it can show that someone bribed the county captain.

The aunt looked at Xiao Lang eagerly, seeing him frown, her whole heart was raised.

But after all, she still underestimated Xiao Lang, Xiao Lang gave her a house according to the agreement, let her settle down in the capital.

Yan Xiaowan stared at the map for a long time, temporarily unable to think of the purpose of those people blowing up the dam and causing floods, "Brother Xiao, what is their intention of blowing up the dam? Could it be related to Dijie?"

Xiao Lang's face was serious, he had already given orders to the shadow guards, asking them to investigate Qingyang's situation as quickly as possible.

There was a shadow between his brows: "I can't say for sure, but I prefer the fourth prince to be the one doing this."

After Xiao Lang's reminder, Yan Xiaowan finally remembered the fourth prince she had missed, the fourth prince was born by Concubine Hui, he was considered an extremely outstanding and excellent prince among the pile of crooked melons and dates.

The metaphor of the image is that the fourth prince is a crane that stands out from the crowd, and the rest of the princes and even the crown prince are not as good as him.

According to unreliable news, the emperor intends to pass the throne to the fourth prince.

Yan Xiaowan really couldn't think of why the Fourth Prince would blow up the dam on purpose, it would be of no benefit to him at all.

She couldn't figure it out, so she asked Xiao Lang directly: "Brother Xiao, tell me, why do you suspect that it is the fourth prince, what is the purpose of him deliberately causing this flood? Besides, shouldn't he stay with my father?" Are you waiting to rob my father and the others of their military exploits?"

Hearing Yan Xiaowan's straightforward question, Xiao Lang smiled: "I said it's a man's intuition, do you want to hit me?"

"Tch——" Yan Xiaowan rolled her eyes at him, "Your answer is too perfunctory, why don't you just tell me you're just guessing? You guys just want to save face."

Xiao Lang laughed loudly, he touched her little head habitually, and the smooth touch in his palm made his smile deepen, "You little girl, you speak as if you know men very well. Have you seen How many men are there?"
