Chapter 886 Your Identity Is Not Simple!

veterans, and their fields were allotted by the county.One person and two mu of land, taxes and grain are half of that of an ordinary farming household, considered care from the imperial court.They we..."What's going on Is the Wang family doomed too"

“Wasn't it said that Old Master Wang was known for his integrity and outstanding achievements in office, which is why he was recalled to Xindu How could he possibly have committed a crime”

"Buying and selling officials is a serious crime! If they investigate, the Wang family will never be able to recover."

"I'm afraid there's no need to investigate. If there were no solid evidence, the Emperor wouldn't raid the Wang family..."

"Didn't you say it hasn't been copied yet"

"What's the difference Xin Ting Hou volunteered to lead the raid, how could the Emperor refuse!"

"The Marquis of Xinting has always only been concerned with military campaigns in the north and never involved himself in court politics. How come he is so proactive this time"

"How could you be so foolish The Wang family and the Li family have a long-standing feud, and the Marquis despises the Wang family. When he got this chance, of course he wouldn't let the Wang family recover!"

Everyone was talking and laughing, so engrossed in the conversation that they forgot where they were. They even brought up Li's family without thinking.

Someone who went off-topic quickly coughed a couple of times and urged, “Ahem! Let’s all just say less. It’s all speculation anyway.”

But in the backyard, Jia Yin didn't have to worry about these things.

She wanted to talk to someone, but no one was home. She could only mumble a few words to herself.

"Something this big, it's likely my stepfather started arranging two months ago, otherwise the victim wouldn't have arrived in Beijing at this time."

"Not two months, but two years!" Mu Xu replied casually as he sat at the door, flipping through a half-old book in his hand.

Two years

Jia Yin's eyes lit up immediately.

She took two mandarin oranges from the fruit basket and tossed one to Mu Xu, then switched into gossip mode.

"Mu Ge, don't you know what's going on Tell me, I promise not to tell anyone else."

Mu Xu took an orange, tossed it in his hand a few times, and seized the opportunity to make a condition.

"I was truly involved in this, no one knows it better than me.

But it's just an orange, I can't fill my stomach with just one!

"Come on, what are you having" Jia Yin was also straightforward, willing to make a big bet.

"Braised pork, white rice!" Mu Xu smiled slyly and added, "Make it just for me, don't share it with anyone."

Jia Yin couldn't help but smile.

Mu Xu now lives with Zheng Yi and the others. It's estimated that there are some private disputes or arguments between them, otherwise Mu Xu wouldn't add the last sentence.

But that's not a problem, she immediately agreed, "Don't worry, I'll make it for you tonight. Tell me quickly!"

After the couple had finished eating the oranges, Mu Xu said: "Two years ago, the Marquis planned to completely eradicate the Wang family."

But the old fox of the Wang family was too cunning and guarded his home well, so no problem could be found for a while.

"So, the Marquis sent Zheng Yi and Zheng San to the south secretly to investigate Wang Lao Er's background. "

"Wang Laoer was indeed more cunning, but with the emperor far away, his courage grew. In the end, his actions of buying and selling official positions were uncovered by Zheng Yi and his men."

This spring, the Lord temporarily borrowed Ye Tong and Ye Guan to help manage things. I went with them too, and as we investigated, we uncovered more and more clues.

"Just as Wang Lao Er's term ended and he returned to Xindu, busy plotting against the Wu family and you, he neglected his old nest, making it more convenient for us to act. "

Finally, we got hold of his real weakness and exposed his accomplices in Xin Du.

The Marquis discussed with the Emperor and decided not to wait until after the New Year. They would directly execute the Wang family.

That accomplice is also like having an arm cut off. He had to come out front, so he wouldn't be scheming behind people's backs, making it impossible to guard against him.

Mu Xu's words were simple and casual, but they were packed with information.

Jia Yin listened for a long time before she came to her senses. But when she opened her mouth, she asked, "Mu Gege, your identity doesn't seem simple, does it"

After all, it's such a secret matter that even my second uncle probably doesn't know about it. It's surprising that your father didn't keep it from you.

"What on earth are you doing here, placed by my godfather"

Mu Xu's fingers paused on the hilt of his dagger, a smirk playing on his lips. "You are indeed as intelligent as the Marquis said, unfortunately, I cannot tell you the reason now."

"But I have no ill will towards you, you can think of me as... well, as a friend or maybe even a brother. "

"Still the same words, I'm by your side, I'll protect you completely. Anyone who wants to hurt you must first step over my corpse!"

By this point, his expression was filled with solemnity.

Jia Yin's heart felt like several kittens were scratching inside, even more curious now.

But she also knew that asking now wouldn't get her an answer, so she might as well just put it out of her mind...

Perhaps the diners at lunchtime were very satisfied, as the hot pot restaurant's evening business was even better.

Especially at dusk, large flakes of snow drifted across the sky. A row of bright red lanterns hung under the eaves, dyeing the snowflakes orange.

Sitting in a private room on the second floor, surrounded by steaming hot pot, grilling meat, drinking, and admiring the snow, it was simply a rare moment of bliss.

This immediately inspired countless guests to compose impromptu poems.

Ignore good advice, fueled by alcohol, and shout out your so-called boldness!

Jia Yin sat in the backyard, keeping watch until the moon rose high in the sky. As she grew slightly drowsy, the Lord and Second Uncle arrived.

Uncle Second will stay here to help keep things running smoothly.

The Lord then sent good news back to the Earl's Mansion.

On the way, Jia Yin had not spared Mu Xu's reputation, causing the Marquis to laugh heartily. Mu Xu could only roll his eyes in exasperation...

In just three days of operation, the hot pot restaurant snatched away one-third of all the other restaurants' business single-handedly.

That is the Cyclamen persicum, these days have been quite peaceful.

Of course, the other chefs were furious, gnashing their teeth and wishing they could burn down the Firepot Building with their rage.

Unfortunately, they didn't dare...

Even thinking about this secretly, you have to cover your ears, afraid that the voice in your head will be heard by others.

The reason is simple: the hotpot restaurant belongs to Princess Kang Le, and behind Princess Kang Le stands Marquis Xinting!

Over the past few days, the marquis first sealed off the Wang family's mansion. Then he uncovered the Wang family's secret passages and hidden chambers, eliminated their assassins, and subsequently arrested members of the Wang family and their associates.

In the bloodshed that erupted in Xin Du, his name struck fear into the hearts of all, forcing them to cower like frightened quail.

There are rumors circulating that the Marquis is avenging the County Lady.

But what the grudge was, no one ever knew!

Whether this rumor is true or not, who would dare to touch the county lord's business at this time They'd probably have their families dragged to the market square in an instant!

Jia Yin might not know, but she has already become the person in Kyoto who is most impossible to offend.

Being idle at the back of the fruit and vegetable shop that day, she was bored. So, she changed into men's clothing and decided to go for a stroll on the street to feel the atmosphere of the New Year.

Shuiling and Shuiyun, rarely ever dressing as maidservants, put on new clothes. They were unfamiliar with the feeling of wearing loose-fitting trousers and tunics.

Two people followed their master, though they tried to remind themselves to hold their heads high and chests out, there was still a hint of shame in their demeanor.

It was Mu Xu who walked behind the three master and servant, feeling helpless yet amused.

This costume is worse than not wearing one at all. Anyone who isn't blind can see that they are women, and it only draws more attention...

Jia Yin didn't care about that; what did it matter if people found out As long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.

As a result, as several people exited the back door, they saw at the side, near the back door of the restaurant, a young man tugging at an old woman.

Upon seeing his master emerge, the young man was startled and took a few steps back.

The elderly woman's silver hairpin slipped from her hand.

The young man, afraid that his master would misunderstand, quickly said: "Master, this person must see you. The young master ordered that no strangers be brought near you."

"I refused, and she tried to stuff silver into my hands…"'s house terribly.What is the Lee familyHe is the benefactor of everyone in the village, the pillar of the village!The Li family has been wronged. Every single person on Shattered Gold Beach, they all...
