【One hundred and eighty five】From Jiangfu

On this day, the sun shone brightly. The sky was full of red clouds, the lake was full of golden waves, and the red sun was like a boiling furnace of iron, squirting out, and golden light shining.

Zhuying returned from a neighboring county with a heavy package on his back, and rushed to Jiang Mansion. He rushed to Bitangzhai with sweat on his head, and happened to run into the black tea and water river, carrying a tea stove, and walked out from behind the screen wall. He wiped off the sweat from his forehead and called the two girls and said, "Two girls, can you ask the girl, can you be in the yard?"

Seeing that the person coming was Zhuying, Black Tea and Shuihe all came forward and said, "What's the important thing about looking for a daughter at this time?"

Zhuying was anxious and replied, "I have returned from outside the city and have important clues to report to the Queen. I'm sorry, the two girls report it!"

Seeing that he looked anxious, Black Cha made a quick decision and said, "Hey, I will go and tell me, please wait outside."

Shuihe stayed in front of the screen wall and waited with Zhuying. At that time, Jiang Chengjia had already taken the medicine and went to bed after taking the medicinal food. Mu Yun was taking care of him and was about to get up to write down the next medicinal food recipe when he heard impatient footsteps coming from the corridor outside.

She put down the wolf hair in her hand and her eyes were fixed on the wooden birch door. After a while, she heard a knock on the door: "Madam Mu, are you here?"

Black Tea deliberately lowered its voice and did not dare to yell loudly. Mu Yun quickly got up, approached the wooden door, and stuck it between the cracks of the door and said, "I'm here, what's there to say?"

Black Tea's sleeves were flat, his palms clenched his fingers, and said anxiously: "Mr. Zhuying said that there are important clues to report to the woman, I would like to see you."

Mu Yun was stunned and looked at Jiang Chengjia who was sleeping peacefully on the couch through the screen. She was in trouble immediately. She paused for a moment before saying, "The lady has fallen asleep. Take Zhuying to the side hall and I'll go to see him."

Black Tea nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll go now."

After saying that, he left in a hurry. Mu Yun frowned and walked to the screen lightly, hesitating whether to wake Jiang Chengjia up. Unexpectedly, the girl on the couch had already shown signs of awakening before she made a decision. Jiang Chengjia was originally a shallow sleep, and she could hear a little movement outside. Mu Yun's conversation with black tea came into her ears without falling words, so she naturally had to wake up.

"Zhuying is back, you should call me in time." Jiang Chengjia looked tired, but she still sat up from the couch.

Mu Yun sighed: "You have just finished handling the case file from Northland Wenzong... How can you be so energetic to listen to Zhuying's nagging now?"

"Ayi. He left the city because of the anonymous handwritten letter. Now that he is back, he is anxious to see me, he must have found some important clues. Don't complain!" Jiang Chengjia hurriedly put on his clothes and got off the bed.

Mu Yun couldn't do anything, so he had to come forward to help him and sighed, "Okay, okay, there's nothing to do with you. Can't I accompany you?"

Jiang Chengjia smiled and grabbed her arm and walked forward.

This month was redundant, and her body had improved a lot under Mu Yun's conditioning, and her eyes gradually became clear. Although she still couldn't see things clearly, she could already tell the clear path that she had only occasionally hit and fell down. Therefore, Mu Yun was still guarding her side.

The leaf clover is indeed very effective. Mu Yun checked all the ancient prescriptions and neutralized several other fairy herbs. With the combination of the herbs from the world, he finally made the most suitable prescription and medicinal food for Jiang Chengjia. She also specially made the most bitter prescription of the soup and medicine into a porcelain bottle, and urged Jiang Chengjia to take it every day.

With her careful care, Jiang Chengjia's condition improved.

"I am thanks to you this month. Otherwise, I would probably fall into this darkness and never see the scenery of the world for the rest of my life."

She leaned against Mu Yun's arm and said sincerely.

"A Luo, you have said this five times. You are not annoyed, I can't stand it anymore. Do you think you are what I want. Why do you have to thank me again and again?" Mu Yun shook his head helplessly, holding her hand tighter.

"Okay, okay, I won't say this anymore." She smiled and headed towards the side hall at the end of the corridor.

The girls speeded up and walked to the steps. In the side hall, Zhuying waited anxiously and kept looking out. Finally, during the long wait, he saw Jiang Chengjia's figure. He immediately stood up from the mat and went to the door.

Jiang Chengjia crossed the threshold and entered the side hall. When he saw Zhuying running to his side. So he frowned involuntarily and asked, "What's the matter worth your worrying?"

Mu Yun looked at Zhuying's sweaty look and realized that the clue he wanted to report might not be simple.

The girls were still standing in the hall. Before they could enter the seat, Zhuying knelt down in front of them with a puff, and said with fear: "My lady, I left Beijing to investigate the source of the anonymous handwritten book... After going around, I accidentally discovered that this book was actually passed down from Jiang Mansion..."

He said this inexplicably. At first, Jiang Chengjia thought he was making jokes, so he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he laughed: "Zhuying, do you dare to say such jokes? If it comes from Jiang Mansion, why didn't I notice it?"

Zhuying did not laugh with her, but instead patted her chest solemnly and promised: "The female... my subordinates did not laugh. Everything I said was true... there was no concealment. This handwritten book was indeed from Jiang Mansion. It was just the silk book and silk cloth used, which came from Jiangnan."

"How is it possible? I am supervising the Jiang Mansion. If there is any abnormal behavior, I can't escape the eyes of Qianji Chu. The plenary session reported to me. Zhuying, what are you talking about? At present, I don't have the intention to tell lies with you here." Mu Yun didn't believe it very much, and he spoke a little bit of blame.

"Madam Mu, the head of the palace, how dare I joke about such a thing? When my subordinates received this handwritten letter, it was sent by the Beijing News Store. My subordinates should have thought that the sender came from another place. Moreover, the material of the silk book he used was unique to Jiangnan.

The subordinates chased to Jiangnan, searched from the source of silk cloth, and finally found a clue. Only Shuihe Town in Jiangnan can sell this cloth. Therefore, the subordinates thought that the handwritten books were probably sent from the letter shop here, so they checked the letter shop in Shuihe Town.

According to the shop owners' vague memories, their subordinates chased to Qingshan City, neighboring town in Luoyang, but learned a strange thing from the shopkeeper of Changlin Xinshang in the county: It is said that about half a year ago, a strange letter from Guijiang Prefecture, the capital city, was sent to Qinghe Lane, Shuihe Town. Because the packaging used in the handwritten book was high-quality osmanthus fragrant paper, the shopkeepers of the shop had a particularly deep memory.

After the letter was sent to Shuihe Town, the shopkeepers did not pay attention to this matter. Unexpectedly... After more than half a month, the silk book was sent back again and sent back to Qingshan City from Shuihe Town. The sender from Shuihe Town said that sending the silk book to Siyinfang in Luoyang caused the shopkeeper to be puzzled and thought it was a fresh way of playing among the upstarts in the capital. The subordinates went to check one by one and found that what the shopkeepers along the road said was not exactly the same, but they were roughly the same..."

After Zhuying said that, she was even more shocked and stuttered in her words: "This is enough to show that... this silk book was sent from Jiang Mansion."

Jiang Chengjia and Mu Yun changed their faces when they heard this, and their faces were bleak. But how long did Jiang Chengjia ask in a trembling voice: "What do you mean is that someone sent this letter to Shuihe Town in the name of Jiang Mansion, and then sent it back to you by unknown people? Do you think that he is using the power of Jiang Mansion to cover up his identity, intending to make you think the letter was sent from Jiangnan?"

"Yes. I do think so." Zhuying was already sweating all over her clothes, and the anxiety and fear on her face did not drop at all.

"It's so shocking." Mu Yun sighed, and at the same time, the clouds of sorrow were lingering, and fear was felt in his heart, "If it's really like you said...will the person behind the scenes be hidden in the Jiang Mansion?"

"Who else will know your life experience in Jiang Mansion? You know so much?" Jiang Chengjia fell into shock and murmured to herself, feeling incredible. She turned her head silently and looked at Mu Yun, her eyebrows were locked, as if she was doubting something.

Mu Yun immediately said, "I can guarantee that the servants and maids in the mansion are all very clean now."

"Ayi, at the end of the year, have you disbanded a group of servants and maids according to your brother's wishes?" Jiang Chengjia asked softly.

Mu Yun nodded and said, "These people are basically detailed works sent by major mansions. The news from the Jiang Mansion was spread by them to deceive the government and the people. However, Deng fell into trouble, and these people stayed in the mansion and might even be useless. Therefore, your brother asked me to check carefully and find a reason to expel them from the mansion."

"Is it possible that there is something wrong with this group of people?" Jiang Chengjia asked.

Mu Yun shook his head and said, "Even if there were spies sent by various prefectures in the Jiang Mansion, they would never have heard of such a secret matter as Zhuying's life. I had never mentioned this in the mansion before you returned from Linhe. After you returned, Zhuying only mentioned it a little when he confronted you.

These people were detained by me to do rough work and could not get close to you, and I and Ayi's yard... How did you know Zhuying's origin? You know so much that you even found the fisherman who witnessed Zhuying being abandoned and Zhao and his wife picked him up home? A Luo, if you think about it carefully, you will know that this is impossible."

Jiang Chengjia thought about it and nodded, "You said it makes sense, but we should not relax our vigilance. Let Fufeng take people to investigate these people who were expelled from the mansion. Within a year, who has had private negotiations with anyone."

"Well, just do what you said." Mu Yun knew that Jiang Chengjia would not investigate the matter and felt relieved, so he responded.

However, she said again: "However, I think the people you brought from the Marquis' Mansion must also be checked. You cannot let go of any clues."

Jiang Chengjia paused and said stiffly: "The only people I brought were a few maids who took care of Nuannuan and A Xian. As for Black Tea and Shuihe, they followed you and me every day, and every move was under our noses. How could there be any difference?"
