At this moment, Third Master's gentle face gradually became frosty.

"These people have been fooling around enough. Since they refuse to leave and have affected our Qingyue Building business, let them pay for all the murders these days."

"Wuya, go to Fujun County yourself, take my token, and ask the county boss to come to me within three days to sort out this mess."

Wu Ya took the token and said, "Yes, Third Master."

The third master then looked at another servant, Wu Xue: "After all, the number of people the county government can use is limited. Even with the manpower under the prefect, it is difficult to capture these Jianghu people without help."

"Wuxue, take my handwritten letter and go quickly to the camp six hundred miles away. I remember that the general stationed there is named Jiang, and I asked him to send troops to suppress it as soon as possible."

Wu Xue took the letter: "Yes, Third Master."

Wu Jing didn't come back until both of them were out.

"Third Master, that girl has returned to Wushan safely. It should be her home in Wushan that Manager Liu mentioned before."

The third master nodded.

He looked at Manager Liu: "Go and find out what happened to her, why and when she appeared in Wushan."

Manager Liu hesitated for a moment, then immediately said: "Third Master, I know a little bit about this matter..."

Third Master frowned and looked at him: "You know?"

Manager Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Yes."

He knelt on the ground, buried his head and said: "Prince Duan Wang came to Qingyang Town and made a big fuss, and almost completely destroyed our Qingyue Tower. I had already interacted with this girl two or three times at that time. , and I also learned that King Duan also has some favors for this girl...so I have secretly checked it out."

"This girl suddenly appeared on Wushan Mountain. She was said to be a distant cousin of the Orion family on the mountain. However, she was driven away by the Orion family. It may not be true to think that she is a cousin."

"This girl also went to work as a female worker in an embroidery shop in the town. She has excellent embroidery skills and even made a Shu brocade robe for King Duan. I have seen it before, and my skills are indeed superb."

"Later... King Duan seemed to get no one, so he became angry and started to hunt them down..."

"Later, when I saw them again, the younger brother and sister were covered in filth, like two beggars who had been running for their lives for a long time. I don't know where they were hiding during that time, but they all survived."

The third master listened and tapped his fingers gently on the table in rhythm.

He didn't say anything, he just asked everyone to leave.

After no one was in the room, the third master suddenly stood up and picked up the scroll he had brought with him.

After unfolding the scroll, his eyes fell lightly on the scroll.

It turns out that this painting depicts a young girl standing in a peach forest.

The girl has a stunning appearance and a fresh and refined temperament.

Her expression in the painting is both angry and coquettish. She is clearly drawn on paper, but she seems to be alive and standing in front of her.

As if he heard her laughter, the third master reached out and covered her little face with his palm.

Just when I was upset and angry, Wu Jing's voice came from outside the door: "Third Master, there is a flying letter from Beijing."

Third Master: "Come in."

Wu Jing came in holding a piece of paper, his eyes accidentally glanced at the woman on the mysterious scroll, but his heart was severely shocked.

This...look at this, why is she the girl in disguise today?

He was so sure because the first thing the girl did after returning home was to wash her face.

That's why he saw her true appearance.

At this moment, the woman in this painting is absolutely the same as the girl today, there is no difference!

It turned out that the girl in the painting was none other than Jiang Wancheng, who had just gotten along with the third master today.

"Have seen enough?"

The third master said coldly, and Wu Jing quickly lowered his head.

"Third Master, forgive me. This...how is this..."

Third Master: "She is Jiang Wancheng, the legitimate daughter of Xingjiu of the Jiang family."

Wu Jing was shocked: "But...that person is not in the backyard of the mansion..."

"That's fake. Do they think I don't know? As early as the beginning of her engagement with me, her father sent someone to give me her picture scroll."

That's why the third master recognized her missing fiancée at a glance. But the strange thing is that she didn't recognize him.

Among the servants sent by the third master of the Jiang family to bring the scroll, there was a painter. He did not believe that the painter would not copy his appearance when he returned to the Jiang family in Jin Dynasty.

But it seemed that she not only didn't recognize him, but also seemed to enjoy her time in the countryside.

That was the first daughter of the most prominent family in the Jin Dynasty, the Jiang family!

Although her appearance remains the same, she has now become a village girl.

Even if you see five taels of silver, you can't move, but for one hundred taels of silver, you can risk your life.

The third master couldn't explain how he felt.

At the wedding a few months ago, the third master actually did not show up in person to pay homage.

Although he did not want to get married, when he returned to the house a few days later and saw the fake wife, he was still furious.

The third master thought that the Jiang family was playing tricks on him.

But he did not alert the snake at the time.

He just left the lady hanging in the backyard without giving her even a hint of real power. She was just displayed as a vase.

He wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Jiang family.

If you don’t want to marry your legitimate daughter, why did you give him a picture in the first place?

If you want to get married, why do you have to change someone on the spot?

Was it because he looked down upon his current poor family background, or something happened along the way.

It's just that he never seriously investigated the matter. He brought the scroll with him just to remind himself of the humiliation he suffered in the Jiang family.

Unexpectedly, during a trip to Qingyang Town, he met the replaced bride.

Ha, interesting.

According to what Manager Liu said, she was not living a very good life, and she even attracted the attention of King Duan.

King Duan...chased and killed...

The third master thought about it for a long time before unfolding the message that came from nowhere.

There was an urgent situation in Beijing and he needed to rush back immediately.

The Third Master frowned and called Wu Zhi in.

"Go and find out what happened to the Jiang family and the housekeeper before and after the housekeeper went to Dajin to welcome the bride. Report everything to me in detail!"

Wu Zhi took the order: "Yes!"

After the third master watched him retreat, he said to Wu Jing again: "Get ready to set off and return to the capital. Here in Qingyang Town, let Manager Liu take over. We must eliminate these gangsters within half a month and restore peace!"

Jiang Wancheng stayed at home and waited until dark.

She held the lamp and walked around the intersection, but still didn't wait for Wen Chaoyan to return.

It is destined not to return to Zhaojiacun tonight.

Jiang Wancheng simply boiled a pot of hot water for himself. After taking a bath, he lay on the familiar kang, looking at the dark house and listening to the too quiet surroundings. He only felt that he was surrounded by an extremely unbearable loneliness. And wrapped tightly...

Ordinarily, would Orion spend the long nights alone in such a cold home?

Jiang Wancheng tossed and turned, and finally fell asleep in a daze.

This time, she was dreaming again.

I dreamed that Wen Chaoyan was standing in the darkness, vomiting blood as if he had been poisoned.

Blood slowly flowed out from the seven orifices.

No matter how much Jiang Wancheng shouted, he could not show up or wake up his will.

Finally, she woke up.

At this moment, the sky was already brightening outside.
