The beauty of the lady

Chapter 345
The Xiankeju of the Ji family was very famous in the Great Yan Dynasty. The annual income of more than a dozen shops was as high as 10,000+ taels, and the loss of one family would be a loss of nearly ten thousand taels, thanks to the ease he said.

Ji Yan didn't live in another courtyard. He had a meal with them the day he came here, and then he got busy all day, as if to meet some friends and business partners.

But it's also good if he's not around, lest they get in the way when they move.

"Wuchen, do you think the chamber of commerce my elder brother mentioned is the name written in the account book?"

"maybe."

"What is maybe?" Ji Heng didn't understand.

"Mostly, but if it is true, the name of King Wu will not appear in it."

Ji Heng asked curiously: "Don't they need to eat and spend money? Isn't it very common for the palace to have business shops?"

"It's very common, but he can't write his name. After all, there are still managers and shopkeepers below. It is unusual to write these names together, so it is absolutely impossible to just set up a chamber of commerce." Yan also has a problem. Speaking of Mr. Nangong, did he deliberately change the subject, did he really not know, or did he just not want to talk about it?

I don't know if this will be a trap. Now that the crown prince is here, Ji Yan already knows that if the news leaks out, there will be big troubles.

He didn't say this idea, lest Ji Heng get confused and say that he has problems with everyone he sees.

In fact, regardless of whether Ji Yan has any problems, he has to adopt a skeptical attitude. In this way, at least his safety will be guaranteed.

And that night, Manager Xu ran in from the outside, and Ji Heng sent the news.

Xing Yiming was stabbed to death in his own dormitory in the magistrate's yamen. Even his wife, concubine and their children were not spared. There were 27 members of the family, and none of them survived.

When Ji Heng heard the news, his whole body turned cold.

By the time they felt it the next day, the bodies of Xing Yiming's family had been sent to the morgue by the guards, from Xing Yiming's parents to his four-year-old grandson, his third son, daughter-in-law, wife and All the four concubines had their throats cut on the neck, and they died cleanly.

Ji Heng called Wu Yong and asked, "Did you notice anything?"

Wu Yong's face still hasn't recovered yet, he tremblingly said: "Returning to your lord, only one of your lord's old acquaintances came to drink with your lord last night, and then left after three o'clock. At that time, your lord was still fine, and then at midnight this morning At the beginning, when the brothers under my command got up at night and saw that the light was still on in the adult's room, they came to check, who would have thought..."

"Who is coming?"

"The little one doesn't know, I just heard the adults call him Mr. Nangong, because the man is wearing a hooded cloak, so the little one can't see clearly!"

Ji Heng and Ye Que froze on the spot. Is it Mr. Nangong again?

The Nangong family has existed for almost as long as the Great Yan Dynasty. The heirs that have been multiplied for hundreds of years are not clean if you want to kill them. If you follow Ye Que's thinking, in these hundreds of years, There are nearly [-] descendants of the Nangong family who have only left their names in history, let alone some side branches.

The so-called offshoots are heirs other than the direct lineage or the eldest sons of the past. It is inevitable that there will be some amazing talents among them. It has nothing to do with it, but many truly capable or amazingly talented people have one thing in common, that is, their identity, their own family's identity.

Or not because of the so-called side branches and direct branches, but for their own surname.

I just don't know if Mr. Nangong is from that line, if so, it's really difficult to settle the account.

But what he thinks now is why the Nangong family didn't take any action when Emperor Yuanchang, Hongyuan or Rongkang were in power, but instead they have been delayed for decades, or their strength has been extremely weak, And it took five or sixty years to plan secretly?
However, to his surprise, a few days later, he received a letter from Fei Ge from his master, and there was only a simple sentence on it: This is your trial.

Ye Que soon understood that Mr. Nangong must have gone up the mountain to find his master. Speaking of Yunwu Mountain Changchun Temple, it belongs to a place outside the world, and generally does not participate in power struggles, and some only find good generals. The Great Yan Dynasty has only cultivated a few talents, not every Guanzhu will be like this, they will only act after they are aware of the imminent crisis.

But this time he was involved in this matter, so the capital city was bound to be left to the two senior brothers.

Obviously, Mr. Nangong knew that someone from the Changchun Temple was involved, so he went to find the master, and the master also promised that he would not intervene, but let himself find the mastermind behind the scenes.

It was said to be a trial, but it was actually to make him do one last thing that he would not regret.

And now he can be sure of two things, one is that the master wants him to fight wits with that Mr. Nangong, and the other is that he will never fail.

To be precise, it is impossible to fail.

Sometimes when he thinks about who he is, he will feel that he is really indifferent in this world. If there is no master's light to give him warmth, he really seems to be abandoned by the whole world. I don't know how many years, he There was no great sorrow or joy, no so-called hatred or other emotions, but he had a bottom line in his heart. That Mr. Nangong was able to kill nearly two thousand civilians who had no power to fight back, which touched his heart. beyond his limit.

Although it is possible to completely ignore it, but it involves the Ye family, so it is really impossible to sit idly by.

Or when he descended the mountain, the master had already foreseen something, otherwise, compared with Yunwu Mountain, which has been accumulated for thousands of years, how could it not compare to the palace's medicinal storehouse with as many herbs?
If that's the case, he really wants to borrow someone from the master to read it.

Soon after writing the reply letter, the white dove fluttered its wings and soared into the sky, and soon disappeared among the white clouds in the distant sky.

The next days are just waiting, because he doesn't know who the so-called Mr. Nangong is, and he can't act rashly. The most appropriate way is to quietly wait for the master's reply and the arrival of Senior Brother Jingguang.

Speaking of Senior Brother Jingguang, Ye Que still likes him very much. Although he seems to be five or sixty years old, and was brought to the mountain by his master when he was a child, he is the first one in Changchun Temple in thousands of years who can get along with a hundred* The first-class person, when he first got to know the senior brothers, he liked to communicate with this senior brother very much. Seeing him chatting with the animals always felt very fresh. He once wanted to ask this senior brother Learning this kind of skill, but was told that it was not easy to learn at all, because he was raised by a group of buns until he was five years old. When the master found him, he couldn't even speak.
