Chapter 656: the last straw
Chapter 656 The Last Straw
Didn't Meng Tingwan be kidnapped from the Qin family village by Princess Renyang? Why did she appear here? Jiang Muyan clenched her fists nervously, and whispered, "Brother Ling."
Jiang Ling saw Sanjie's nervous expression, leaned his body towards the car window and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Liu also turned to look at his sister, and saw that her sister motioned them to get closer, "I was in the courtyard with the door open just now, and I saw Meng Ting was late."
After saying that, Jiang Muyan did not use her fingers, but raised her pointed chin and pointed to the courtyard in the far north of the farm.
Although Jiang Ling didn't find it, the third sister said it was Meng Tingwan, so it must be. He didn't turn his head, but said in a low voice, "Don't look over there, I'll send someone to find out, no matter what they do here, it has nothing to do with us."
Jiang Muyan responded, and when the carriage came to Anjiazhuang, she asked in a low voice, "Who did Anjiazhuang transfer to?"
After An Yunchang's family was raided, all their property was confiscated, and the farm was also sold. Jiang Liu didn't care about this Zhuangzi at the time, and he didn't know who bought it. However, "Meng Ting's appearance here late means that this Zhuangzi is already under the control of Princess Renyang."
Jiang Ling nodded, and it was Princess Renyang who sent someone to rob Meng Tingwan. On the day of Huang Jianyun's accident, Princess Renyang went out of the city, either to run for the money from Suzhou, or to interrogate Meng Tingwan. Who knew she was there? While planning outside the city, the Qin family almost killed her son in the city.
Huang Jianyun Injured In the past few months, Princess Renyang has been huddled in the Huang family to take care of her son. Just as Huang Jianyun was able to walk down the ground, Princess Renyang couldn't hold back and started to move again? Jiang Ling's cold eyes moved up and down with the rolling hills hidden in the mist. It seemed that Princess Renyang attached great importance to the things hidden by the Meng family or the An family.
After sending Sanjie and younger sister to Xixiaozhuang by the Wild Boar River, and after sending someone to protect them strictly, Jiang Ling said to Jiang Liu, "You and Sanjie should take a walk here first, I will go hunting for wild boars in the mountains, and I will return when I go. "
Jiang Liu grabbed his brother's sleeve, "Brother, this place is too close to Anjiazhuang, Meng Tingwan appeared here, and there must be many masters around, let's be careful, let's hunt wild boars next time, right?"
Jiang Ling smiled, "Sister, don't be afraid, they don't dare to hurt us."
If Princess Renyang dared to attack her son's savior now, Huang Li would definitely distance himself from Princess Renyang without hesitation.
Jiang Ling carried a bow and arrow and took Jiang Cai and Ban Dashan into the forest. Jiang Liu had to take the steward and went to see the water moat by the wild boar river with his sister.
The water mill uses the power of water and the principle of leverage to drive the mortar column containing the cobblestone, and beat the rice in the mortar to husk. Although it was winter now, there was plenty of water in the Wild Boar River. Jiang Liu was in a good mood as he watched the three mortars driven by the flowing water beat the rice in the three mortars one after another.
"This is good, save people and donkeys." Jiang Liu commented, "Is there a roller that can be driven by water?"
Wan Xie replied respectfully, "Miss Hui, there is a water mill. It is more suitable to build a water mill here than in Liujiazhuang."
Wan Rong was the manager of the rice grain shop bought by Jiang Liu. This person used to be the servant of Wan He Nian's house, the lieutenant general in the Linwei camp of Youyu. After Jiang Liu bought the Wanjia Rice Grain Shop, he went to Yaxing to buy the Wan Chung family, and still handed over the Wanjia Rice Grain Shop to Wan Chung to take care of.
Jiang Liu nodded, "You calculate within two days how much money and how much time it will take to build a water mill and water mill that can be used by our rice grain shop to grind flour and rice, and report it to me clearly."
Wan Chung responded and replied, "Girl, I have to tell you something in advance: the water mill and the water mill are good, but when the water flow decreases and the farmland is irrigated, they cannot grind flour or rice. To build a water mill here, the villagers of Wild Boar River Village are afraid that there will be trouble, so we have to prepare in advance."
Xixiaozhuang is in the upper reaches of the Wild Boar River Village, and they drink the water of the Wild Boar River. There is a small water mill here, which cannot divide the amount of water in the river. Once the water mill is built, the water flow of the Wild Boar River may be cut off, causing the whole river to first flow through the water mill and then to the Wild Boar River Village. The villagers will definitely make trouble.
Jiang Liu pondered for a moment, then ordered, "It's definitely not just our family who built the water mill. Go and find out how the other mills negotiated with the surrounding villagers, and report it to me."
"Yes." Wan Xian responded immediately. Although his master was a ten-year-old girl, he was clear-headed and orderly, and he didn't scold his subordinates. And there is also the most crucial point - she is the daughter of the popular man Jiang Erye in front of Wan Sui. The combination of these factors makes Wan Chun feel extremely at ease.
After watching the water house, Jiang Muyan and her sister wandered around the farmland looking at the farmland and houses. Jiang Ling, who went deep into the forest, did not hunt wild boars, but quickly climbed over the mountains to the hillside next to Anjiazhuang, and observed the movements in Anjiazhuang from a commanding height.
Although Jiang Ling did not find Meng Tingwan, he saw several people digging holes in the courtyard of the main house in Anjiazhuang. The courtyard has been dug in a mess, and at a glance, it is obvious that these people are looking for something that may be buried underground. Seeing this, Jiang Ling first raised the corners of his mouth, and then slowly frowned.
First Qin Tianye and then Princess Renyang. What they wanted to get through Meng Tingwan were the memorials that Jiang's grandfather wrote to the late emperor and several Suzhou account books? That little thing, is it worth them so much?
After he understood it, Jiang Ling turned his attention to the inside and outside of Anjiazhuang. After seeing the arrangement of the Ming and Dark Guards in Princess Renyang's mansion, he wanted to understand how many people he should line up and where to start if he was to attack before withdrawing. A wild boar weighing more than 100 catties was hunted in the valley, and Ban Dashan carried it back to the farm.
After returning to the mansion, after the wild boar was handed over to the kitchen, Jiang Ling took his sister to the Taoist temple in the mansion. Doubt in mind.
"Princess Renyang asked Meng Tingwan to look for things because she snatched Meng Tingwan from Qin Tianye. She felt that Qin Tianye detained Meng Tingwan because Meng Tingwan or the Meng family had something in their hands. Evidence that is extremely unfavorable to Qin Tianye. As my brother said, there are no secrets in this memorial of grandfather. These matters may have been known to the high officials of the court and the long live. But..."
Jiang Liu changed the subject and continued, "Everyone knows it well, but there is no evidence. When the critical moment comes, this memorial written by my grandfather before he was killed may be the last straw that overwhelms Qin Tianye!"
"It's possible, but I always feel like I'm missing something." Jiang Ling recalled the past carefully, little by little.
