MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 75
An Ruochen said again: "Li Changshi is cautious, walking in the crowd will find someone following behind him, if he is seen clearly in the early morning when there is no one, how can he not notice that he is being watched from a high place?" Arrived? Besides, Jiang Man said that because he knew Li Changshi, he didn't pay attention to it. He thought it was an investigation by the military, but after thinking about it, he reported it. Since he didn't pay attention at first and didn't go up to say hello, Then how could Li Changshi not see him." An Ruochen paused and said: "General, your previous doubts were correct, this case is strange, we can start with the Yamen Investigate this case. If he really lied and gave false testimony, then the person who ordered him is a spy."
Long Da glanced at her several times, and suddenly sighed: "I first thought that if you were a man with a good body and cultivated well, you would be an excellent counselor. Then I thought, you are a daughter with a good body..."
Before Long finished speaking, An Ruochen was already in a hurry. She raised her head and said loudly, "General, no matter if you are a man or a girl, as long as you are loyal, you can stand up to the sky."
Long Da was so choked by her that he couldn't say anything later. He waved his hand, and angrily sent his family's "upright" security manager back to the house.
An Ruochen, who returned to the house, looked at the mirror for a long time, and was very unconvinced: "Is it so ugly?!"
Rifle through the suitcases to find clothes, and pick some pretty and bright ones. There are also some small jewelry when opening the drawers to find things. Lie on the bed and fell asleep, the general's words still rang in my ears: "It's an eyesore."
snort!
An Ruochen got up before dawn the next day, dressed beautifully, tidied up and went to the stables to wait for the general to "encounter".
While dressing up, Chun Xiao was frightened, "What are you going to do today, girl?"
"Go and feed the drums for breakfast."
Chunxiao: "..."
When I went to the stables, I frightened the groom, "What is the girl going to do today?"
"Come and feed the drums for breakfast."
groom:"…"
Dressed up like this, can Zhan Drum recognize you?
After brushing the horses, feeding them, and posing, after waiting for a long time, General Long finally arrived. The guards were also surprised when they saw An Ruochen, only Long Da raised his brows calmly.
"Morning, General." An Ruochen greeted with the air of an upright manager.
"Morning." Long Da remained calm, seemingly not seeing any changes in An Ruochen.
An Ruochen pursed her lips, secretly feeling a little unhappy.
Long Da got on his horse, and when he passed by An Ruochen, he suddenly said: "Tomorrow, you will have a banquet with me in this appearance, this is how you look."
An Ruochen: "..."
Before An Ruochen could respond, Long Da left, rode for a while and came back suddenly, galloped to An Ruochen's side and said: "From now on, it will look like this, this is how it looks."
This time An Ruochen came back to his senses, and quickly responded, "I obey, General!"
Long Da raised his eyebrows, smiled slightly, and left. This time he didn't look back.
An Ruochen almost couldn't hold back and wanted to jump up, remembering that there were grooms and others beside her, she had to hold the war drum instead and buried her face in it because she had to maintain her demeanor. Zhan Drum, the general and I are reconciled like this, right? right?
War Drum, of course, didn't answer. But An Ruochen felt very happy. She herself felt that yes, that was reconciliation.
An Ruochen went back to the yard with her hands behind her back to prepare her own breakfast. Thinking of the general's smile when he left, I couldn't help jumping twice, hee hee, we made up. But the general's raised eyebrows haven't changed. But the general raised his eyebrows so chicly, it doesn't matter if he doesn't need to change it. The military aircraft cannot be leaked.
Jinger and Mrs. Jingyuan are also having breakfast. The two of them haven't spoken much in the past few days. Mrs. Jingyuan has never talked much, but now that her special identity is exposed, she seems to be even less willing to talk. Jing'er didn't know what to say. She was very scared and wanted to ask a question, but she didn't know how to ask it or whether she should ask it. Jingyuan treated her as before, as if that terrible thing had never happened, she asked her to eat, gave her toys to play with, but did not lock her small door to the side yard again.
Jing'er didn't know if this was trying to test her. She didn't try to escape, she didn't know where she could escape, would it be safe to return to Zhonglan City? She also didn't know if she would attack Jingyuan as soon as she escaped. So she also pretended that it never happened. It's just that the panic in her heart couldn't be hidden, consciously or not, she still kept a distance from Jing Yuan, except for letting her eat, she hid in the room at other times.
Now after breakfast, Jing Yuan suddenly said: "I won't hurt you, I know who you are."
Jing'er was just about to say that she had finished eating and went back to her room, but she was taken aback when she heard this, and sat up straight.
Master Jingyuan looked at her, her eyes were not cold, she said: "Since you haven't left these few days, I think you really don't know where to go. For the time being, my place is indeed safer than other places. But after a while, maybe not necessarily.”
"Master knows who I am?" Jing'er asked timidly.
"I didn't know you were a girl from the An family, but I recognize you. Two years ago, when I went to Zhonglan City for alms, I met you on the road. You and your sister. You just bought buns and met you. I begged for alms, so I came over to give me buns to eat. It was meat buns, but I refused. After you turned around, you wanted to cry, but your sister said that you are a silly child, and you are a vegetarian. I walked for a long time, and you chased after me out of breath. Come up, hand me a bag of jujube candy, you say sorry, can the candy be eaten? I accept it, and you look up and smile at me."
Jing'er didn't speak, she didn't remember much about it. She is indeed An Ruofang. She vaguely remembered going out with her eldest sister to deliver buns and candies to others, but she couldn't remember who it was, let alone their appearance.
"If my daughter was still alive, she would be almost as old as you. I have been here for several years, and you are the first child who is not afraid of me. Your expression at that time reminds me of her. On October 15th , I went to Zhonglan City for alms as usual, and I met you again, but this time you raised your face and said to me, "Master, help me." I recognized you at a glance, so I brought you back gone."
An Ruofang bit her lip, lowered her head and whispered like a mosquito, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie."
"It's okay." Jing Yuan said indifferently: "I haven't met anyone who doesn't lie. Everyone is born to lie."
An Ruofang's eyes were red: "I really don't know what to do. My sister gave me the chance to escape, but I missed it. I can't go back home. I'm very scared."
Master Jingyuan looked at her: "Don't be afraid, whoever bullies you will kill him."
An Ruofang trembled, and raised her head in shock, "Master, you are not serious, are you?"
Mrs. Jingyuan's expression was really serious, and she continued: "After I took you in, I went to Zhonglan City to check and found that all factions were looking for a fourth girl who settled down. That's when I knew your identity."
"What are the factions?" An Ruofang asked.
Mrs. Jingyuan said: "Your family is looking for it, your sister is looking for it, the government is looking for it, the military is looking for it, the Qian government is looking for it, and the spy is looking for it..."
An Ruofang opened her mouth wide in surprise, she didn't understand what was going on and why so many people were looking for her.
"I first heard that you were going to be forced to marry a bad old man named Qian Pei, so I wanted to kill him. But after I checked, I found that if I killed him, there might be more troubles. But in fact, now It's just as bad..." Master Jingyuan pondered, and said to herself: "Why don't you just kill me?"
An Ruofang was so shocked that she had goosebumps all over her body.
Fortunately, Jing Yuan quickly changed the subject and said: "I also went to check on your sister, she is now in Ziyun Tower, beside General Long..."
Hearing this, An Ruofang shouted in surprise: "Eldest sister is safe?! Is she okay?"
"It was okay when I found out about her, and now judging from the detailed situation, she should be okay too. But she is not safe, and I dare not send you there."
"Why? Is my sister taking me in, and my father and mother will go to the government to sue her?"
"Your sister is in trouble, she cares about you, she is your trouble."
An Ruofang heard this tone, as if she was about to say the next sentence - it would be so troublesome to kill. She swallowed her saliva and wanted to say don't hurt my sister, but since the teacher didn't mean it, she would remind her if she said it.
An Ruofang didn't dare to speak, Jing Yuan was also silent for a moment, and then said: "Anyway, you stay here temporarily. Before the next trouble comes, I will see how to deal with you."
Jing Yuan packed up the dishes and prepared to leave, but An Ruofang couldn't help asking: "Master, how is my mother?"
Master Jingyuan paused, and looked up at An Ruofang: "Do you miss your mother?"
"I thought about it." An Ruofang's eyes turned red.
"When I inquired about your family, I heard that she kept her house behind closed doors, but I never heard of good or bad."
An Ruofang pursed her lips tightly, tears were hanging on her eyelashes, and they were about to fall. Master Jingyuan remained silent, staring at the teardrop, An Ruofang blinked and rubbed her eyes to wipe away the teardrop. Jing Yuan was in a daze, a little dazed. After a while, he asked, "Do you miss home?"
An Ruofang finally cried: "I thought about it, but I was afraid."
"Because your mother can't protect you." Jing Yuan murmured, "A mother who can't protect her daughter is still a mother?"
An Ruofang burst into tears: "Don't blame my mother, don't blame my mother..."
Jing Yuan showed grief, gritted her teeth, and turned around abruptly to leave.
According to the order issued by Long Da last night, Xie Gang brought the guards and led An Ruochen to the yamen to report to the prefect to see Jiang Man.
It was Jiang Man, the yacha who saw Li Changshi take off the bell that day.
The plan was like this. In order not to startle the enemy, he only said that he needed to complete the case file of Li Mingyu, and asked Jiang Man the details of seeing Li Mingyu take the bell. Then he took Jiang Man to Dingsong Pavilion to confirm the location on the spot, where he was standing, where Li Mingyu was, and where did he see his face.
If Jiang Man can't justify himself, he will bring Jiang Man back to Ziyun Tower. If what Jiang Man showed at the scene was indeed reasonable, and Xie Gang personally tested it correctly, then thank Jiang Man for being vigilant and reporting in time, so that the prefect and General Long dealt with it in a timely manner and caught the moth in the army.
But Xie Gang and An Ruochen never expected that when they arrived at the yamen, Jiang Hongqing heard what he wanted, but he said it was a pity, saying that yesterday the blessing lampstand by the river in the city fell, and many craftsmen and people who built the platform fell into the water. Unfortunately, Jiang Man died heroically in the line of duty and was drowned.
An Ruochen was dumbfounded, how could such a coincidence happen.
