Chapter 248 She lied

   "Is the eldest wife of the Ministry of Punishment Office crazy?" Jiang Yuanchao swept over the news reported on the desk, thoughtfully.

   After leaving Beijing for a few years, and returning to the familiar and unfamiliar capital, the situation in Beijing has become increasingly difficult to see.

   Jiang Lin, who he sent to Beiding City to investigate the news, had already clashed several times with another force that was secretly investigating brothel women, and still no one took a step back, and the progress of the investigation was deadlocked.

  The young son of Changchun Uncle's Mansion was attacked in Bichun Tower. It was easy to investigate. The strange thing is that all traces have disappeared completely, making it impossible for Jinlinwei, who is best at this method, to investigate.

   Not long ago, there was a rumor that champion Hou's late wife, Tuo Meng, said that her brother was eaten by a white-haired tiger. Obviously, someone was planning it. As a result, it was only a few days ago that the eldest wife of the Shangshu Mansion, Mao Shi, who was implied by the rumor, went crazy.

   In other words, the eldest lady really played a trick on Mr. Qiao.

  Qiao Family, Champion Hou—

  Jiang Yuanchao stretched out his slender fingers, wrote these words on the desk, and rubbed them back and forth.

   He had a faint hunch, as if all the mysteries were rolling between the two.

   And among them, who are the key figures?

  Jiang Yuanchao tapped the words "Champion Hou".

   There is no doubt that Shao Mingyuan, the general of the Northern Expedition, is one of the key figures, and Qiao Mo, the surviving son of the Qiao family, is also a key figure.

and also-

  Jiang Yuanchao suddenly flashed the look of a girl in plain clothes with tears streaming down her face.

   Those tears were not for him, of course.

  The scene of the funeral of Mrs. Hou, the champion, is vivid in her mind. The girl in plain clothes ran after the funeral procession with tears in her eyes. There was only one person in her eyes—Qiao Mo.

   He gave up sending someone to stare at the girl, but someone as important as the champion was one of the targets of the Jinlin Guards.

  Lady Li has a lot of intersections with the champion Hou.

   She also once went to the Ministry of Punishment Office as a guest—

  Jiang Yuanchao subconsciously wrote the word "Li" on the table, and then stretched out his hand to cover it.

   Could he think that Miss Li is also one of the key figures?

   It's just that he couldn't figure out the most reasonable link to connect Miss Li with these people for the time being.

  Jiang Yuanchao leaned back on the back of the chair and sighed softly.

  What is so special about that girl, why does every time I think of it, there is always an indescribable feeling in my heart?

   He shook his head, waving this inexplicable mood away.

   He is already the one who wants to be engaged, and thinking about these messes only adds to his troubles.

   At Qiao Zhao's place, he got a reply from Morning Light the next morning, showing a faint smile.

   Chenguang was a little embarrassed, so he gathered up the courage to ask Qiao Zhao: "Three girls, what will happen to the eldest lady of Shangshufu?"

   Although he had a lot of lives in his hands, they were all damned Tartars. It was a bit embarrassing to let people know that the bodyguards of the dignified general Beizheng frightened a woman to death by pretending to be a ghost.

   "She will probably be scared crazy." Qiao Zhao said calmly.

   Starting from the rumor of a white-haired tiger, she went step by step, and this is what she was waiting for.

  The human heart can be strong or fragile. As a doctor, especially the one who got the wonderful book from Grandpa Li, she knows better than anyone that when people suffer from heart disease, they will give birth to dark ghosts.

   She has no sympathy for Mao, nor does she regret driving Mao crazy. This is the price Mao paid for his brother.

   And a crazy person, in all likelihood, will tell the most unspeakable secrets that are usually kept in the bottom of his heart.

   Whether it is she or Shao Mingyuan, it is not so easy to investigate further from the perspective of outsiders, so it is better to leave it to grandfather and the others.

  My grandfather and the others knew that the Mao clan had poisoned his brother, and they would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly. Then, whether there are other people behind the Mao clan, it would be much more convenient to investigate from the inside.

   This is a two-pronged strategy, driving Mao's madness as punishment, and at the same time using Mao's madness to let his grandfather and the others take action.

   "Scared crazy?" Chenguang's face became bitter, "Is this not a good thing?"

  Qiao Zhao glanced at him: "What's wrong?"

   "I'm a big man, scaring a woman mad—"

  Qiao Zhao smiled disapprovingly: "It's not you who scared me crazy, it's me."

"what?"

   "You're just doing what you're told, so don't be burdened."

   Morning light almost burst into tears.

  Three girls can really enlighten people, but wouldn't she have a burden in her heart?

   Chenguang couldn't help but ask.

  Qiao Zhao looked surprised: "What burden do I have? I just want to scare her crazy."

   Chenguang: "..." Suddenly I feel that I don't want to marry a wife in my life, what should I do?

   "Mengguang, you go to the Spring Breeze Tower and ask your generals if it is convenient for me to see Mr. Qiao."

   "Yes!" The coachman who was frightened by Miss Qiao replied loudly, and only after returning did he realize that this was not the military camp.

  It's over, it's over, Miss Li is so terrifying, it's even more stressful than the general when he assigns combat missions.

   Lord General, he is going home!

   Chenguang did not dare to delay for a moment, and ran to Chunfenglou to spread the word.

   "Miss Li is going to see Young Master Qiao?" Shao Mingyuan frowned subconsciously.

   For some unknown reason, Miss Li's kick on his leg was obviously not painful or itchy, but he gave birth to the idea of ​​avoiding it and not having more interaction with that girl.

   He couldn't explain why he was thinking like this, but he had a vague premonition that this choice was the right one.

   This is the instinct he has developed in countless battles against danger, which has allowed him to escape from death many times.

   Today, though not on the battlefield, is equally applicable.

   Chenguang saw that the general wanted to refuse, and hurriedly said: "General, you must not refuse!"

   "Huh?" Shao Mingyuan didn't know why.

  This boy Chenguang has been with him for so many years, and he just turned his elbow out after being a coachman for Miss Li for a few days?

   "General, my humble position is for your sake, you have no idea how scary the three girls are!"

   Shao Mingyuan sighed: "Tell me, what did Miss Li do?"

   Chenguang explained what Qiao Zhao told him to do, and finally concluded: "The three girls are so scary, you should think twice before acting, General!"

  What if the general refuses, and the three girls are unhappy and frighten the general mad?

   "You mean, Miss Li had the idea of ​​scaring the Mao clan from the very beginning?"

   "Yeah, I just don't know how the Mao family is now."

   "Uh, she's already crazy. The Shang Shufu said to the outside world that she was recovering from her illness and locked her up." Shao Mingyuan, who got the news from other channels, said lightly.

   Chenguang's eyes were filled with tears: "So, the three girls can't be provoked!"

   Shao Mingyuan lowered his eyes, staring at his pale fingers that glowed blue.

   "Mengguang, you mean, Miss Li gave you a painting last night, and the person in the painting is exactly the same as my wife?"

   "Yes, it's really too similar, more like you than you draw!" He still had some impressions of the general's wife who was standing on the city wall.

   "She shouldn't have seen my wife."

   "The three girls said that they have seen them, after all, they are all in the capital."

   Shao Mingyuan took a deep look at Chenguang.

  No, she lied.
