"The young man recommended by the Prime Minister the day before yesterday seems to have replaced the original Censor and became the most trusted person by His Majesty. I heard that His Majesty gave him the honor of not worshipping him, but he is still humble Still, every time I see His Majesty, I will dress up and pay my respects."

     

    "I heard that he has a certain strategy for the country in his hands. At the beginning, he dedicated the strategy to the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister praised it repeatedly. The next day, he sent this strategy to the palace. Your Majesty After seeing the great joy, he directly connected that son to the palace."

     

    The discussion in the tavern came to an abrupt end, and the few people who spoke looked at each other, all looking confused. Rumors spread throughout Jiu'an City, but no one knew who the son who appeared in Gong Wei the day before yesterday was.

    "Little lady, it's getting late, we should go back." Xinyue didn't know why Jiang You liked this tavern so much, she always came here to sit every time she went out, it was dirty and messy, What's there to sit on?

    "Xinyue, I want to eat the flax cakes from the street corner. If you want new ones, you can go."

    Xinyue looked to the sky, the sun had not yet set in the west. The freshly made flax cake will take some time to wait, and Xinyue understands that Jiang You is taking her away.

    When Xinyue left, Jiang You got up and walked to the shopkeeper of the tavern. The shopkeeper who settled the bills at the back of the cabinet looked up at Jiang You, but did not dare to look at his face, his eyes were on the strange pattern on Jiang You's shoulder After a while, he asked the restaurant maid to take Jiang You to a room on the second floor.

    Jiang You pushed open the door, then closed it smoothly.

    "Sir." The young man was sitting in the room, and the moment he saw Jiang You, he walked quickly to Jiang You, bowed and saluted, with an excited expression, "Thank you sir!"

    "Don't thank me, you are very smart and chose a good path." When Jiang You heard the news from the palace, he knew it was him. The contents in that book were enough to be An Lin's stepping stone and lead him into officialdom.

    "The lord is joking, it is the lord who helped me choose this path, and everything is the credit of the lord." An Lin smiled, a little silly, he studied the book for the sake of his sister. Things, and then relying on a part of those things, won the love of Liu Yi, from a nameless person to become the new favorite of An Huang who was curious about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

    When he first entered the officialdom, he didn't know anything, he only had a passion and a belief in saving his sister.

    "Sir, I may rescue my sister now?" An Lin looked at Jiang You, hoping to get a positive answer from Jiang You.

    "Can I shake the family by myself?" Jiang You can understand An Lin's urgency, but in this case, An Lin needs to learn to be patient, "No hurry."

    An Lin took a deep breath and nodded, "I have done what your lord ordered before. I found the prince and said that, but the prince doesn't seem to care."

    The prince certainly doesn't care. Taiwei Cheng is his uncle. Although Zhou He was demoted, he never hurt the bones of the prince's forces.

    "Since the prince doesn't care, there's nothing we can do." Jiang You originally planned to remind the prince of the witchcraft disaster, but the prince obviously did not have the slightest sense of crisis, and he did not regard the Zhou family as a matter of Someone is attacking him. After all, Zhou He was trapped by his son no matter how he looked at it.

    An Lin came here to explain the prince's attitude to Jiang You. After he finished speaking, he left in secret. And Jiang You was also downstairs waiting for Xinyue to come back. It's not that Jiang You doesn't trust Xinyue, but that the less people know about what she and An Lin know, the better.

    In the future, she will use An Lin to do many things, such as how to control the scale of this witchcraft disaster.

    If in the scourge of witchcraft, all those who died were those who played with power and pushed the situation to an uncontrollable level for their own selfishness, Jiang You would not care about it, just in the midst of witchcraft In the post-disaster period, there are too many innocents.

    After Jiang You went back this time, he did not go out for half a month.

    Many soldiers appeared on the streets of Jiu'an City. Every time they appeared, they would take away many people, sometimes the gentry, and sometimes the common people. For a time, everyone in Jiu'an City was in danger. The prosperity of the past is gone forever.

    "Little lady, the little lady of the Cheng family sent someone to deliver something."

    Xinyue said, and handed Jiang You two things.

    A piece of silk cloth with writing on it, and the other is a short knife, which is very familiar. Jiang You took it over and looked at it, and determined that it was the short knife that Cheng Yuanxiu was holding in his hand.

    "Little Niang, there is Cheng Xiaoniang's private print on the silk cloth, but why did she give her a short knife? Did she want to threaten Xiaoniang! I heard that her wedding date with Erlang Jun of the Zhou family has been set !"

    Xinyue glared at the short knife in Jiang You's hand, she didn't expect that Cheng Xiaoniang was such a small-bellied woman, she clearly promised to expose the matter!

     "Do you know the place written on the silk cloth?"

    Xinyue looked at it and nodded, the place was very remote, but when she went out with Jiang You, in order not to get lost, she memorized the surrounding terrain.

    "In that case, let's go, put on Wu's clothes, and go quietly." Jiang You had a hunch that Cheng Yuanxiu would bring her a different message.

    Counting the time, the calamity of witchcraft began for half a month, the harem was not calm before, Qi Chong went to Jiangfu twice, the first time did not even come in, the second time Then they went directly to Jiang Nuo's study, Jiang You guessed that the two of them had already reached a cooperation on a certain matter.

    When Cheng Yuanxiu learned that Jiang You was coming, he thought it was his illusion, the sun was slanting west, and there were still two hours before dark.

    "Xiao Niang Jiang, you are here."

    Cheng Yuanxiu stood up and gave Jiang You a salute. After Jiang You returned the salute, he knelt down and sat opposite her along with Cheng Yuanxiu's reception.

     

    What happened?

    "Call me Jiang You is to meet in private, Miss Cheng, you and I are not so familiar with each other. Speaking of which, this place is really secret. If it wasn't for your maid, I would definitely be I can't find it." Jiang You looked around, this was a room, only the front window and door had light coming in, the other three sides were tightly sealed by walls. Doors and windows are open, and if anyone is around, you can see at a glance.

    This is a great place to tell secrets.

    "Jiang You, I know why you squeezed my wrist three times in the first place. Now I slashed four times on the short knife, do you understand what it means?" Cheng Yuanxiu took a deep breath and didn't wait. Jiang You answered and said to himself, "You must know, otherwise you won't come looking for me. At first, you clicked three times to make me be careful of three people, but now I make four cuts to make you be careful. "

    Huh? what?

    Jiang You had a kind smile on his face, looking at Cheng Yuanxiu's eyes with indescribable tenderness, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded patient.

    Forget it, no need to explain.

    "You are so panicked, you must have seen something incredible. Since the incident of witchcraft, people inside and outside the court have been panicked, everyone is afraid of being involved, and those who have a heart will use this to frame and marry. It is too late for the unintentional person to save his life. It stands to reason that the prime minister and the doctor of the censor should take action together to suppress the matter, and at the same time advise His Majesty to put things right. As one of the three princes, Taiwei Cheng should also come forward, but the strange thing is that no one has come forward."

      A man of witchcraft.

    No matter if you are innocent or guilty, there is only one end to getting caught, and that is death.

    Cheng Yuanxiu looked at Jiang You in surprise, "You, did you see something at Prime Minister Jiang's place? Do you know something?"

    "I guess." Jiang You took out a short knife from his arms and placed it lightly on the table, "I also guessed that the reason you were so panicked was because you found out, Taiwei Cheng. Support the prince to rebel."

    "Bang!"

    Cheng Yuanxiu jumped up when she heard the words, she swallowed her saliva, she could understand what my mother meant by being smart and close to the demon.

    How can ordinary people guess in the direction of treason! This Jiang You is a monster!

    Jiang You, who was holding the plot in his hand, smiled calmly. The two sons of Cheng Taiwei's children were guarding the border, and there was only Cheng Yuanxiu's daughter by his side. Jiang You suspected that Cheng Taiwei was a daughter-in-law, otherwise how could a good daughter develop such a stupid appearance.

    "You came to look for me, do you want me to secretly tell me about this matter, Aon, and let me pull Taiwei Cheng? Or do you hope I can persuade him to join Taiwei Cheng with him? , to do this monstrous thing."

    "Neither!" Cheng Yuanxiu blushed embarrassedly, "I, I just panicked, I didn't know who to look for, so I thought of you. My brain is not good, they all Treat me as a fool and hide everything from me. I think you are different from others. You will remind me that you don't lie to me or harm me. Tell me, what should I do now? The prince is not a good person, aunt He didn't feel sad at all when he died!"

    Cheng Yuanxiu still remembered that when the queen entered the imperial mausoleum, the crown prince talked to her, A Weng, with a smile that could not be concealed on his face.

    The queen died, but the prince had no grief, and even felt very happy that all the Cheng family had fallen into his hands.

    Cheng Yuanxiu didn't know who to believe or who to tell her. Her mother and A Weng must have an opinion, and it was useless for her to say it.

    After the Qi family fell into the water, Cheng Yuanxiu always remembered that day when the knife in her hand was so close to Jiang You's heart that Jiang You believed that she would not stab it? ?

    Since Jiang You believes in her, then she also believes in Jiang You! Their two families were rivals in court, but Cheng Yuanxiu felt that what Jiang You said must be true.

    It was the first time for Jiang You to show his loyalty when he met someone.

    "Your Majesty is getting old, and there are always villains around, such as Qi Chong, if he hadn't found those witches full of nonsense, how could His Majesty make such a big mistake? If Qi Chong were dead Now, the witches under him don't have the guts to talk nonsense any more, the chaos of the witches will naturally stop, and the prince will have no excuse to rebel."

    "Kill Qi Chong?"

    "When you fell into the water in the Qi family, it should have been the Qi family who did it. Taiwei Cheng was forced to rebel because of Qi Chong." What Jiang You didn't say is that the prince, Taiwei Cheng The camp and Jiang Nuo Qi Chong's camp are opposed to each other. Only one conflict between the two will detonate all conflicts.

    A lot of people will be killed in a rebellion, and the chance of success is very small. They want to fight for power, how can they just let the soldiers below them work hard? It's up to them to play by themselves.
