Chapter 1485 Strange Jade Pendant

When she met Yang Guanxian again many years later, Yang Guanxian was extremely distrustful of her because Qiao, the wife of a friend named Wang who rescued Yang Guanxian, said too many things about her.

Not long after, Xia Zhaoyi received another letter from Master Dan Guan in Hejing. Hidden in the letter was another letter within a letter written by the Qiao family. Every line was full of curses against her.

Yang Guanxian said that these Qiao family members are scattered and disconnected from each other. Even the closest wives and husbands will not know their true identities.

The result is surprising, such a group of people scattered all over the world hate her the same.

Xia Zhaoyi did not think that Qiao Xiyang or Qiao Yanchi's father had done any backstabbing to these Qiao people. Otherwise, whether it was the wife of Yang Guanxian's friend or the Qiao family who wrote to scold her , will not even mention a word.

And before that, in Hengxiang, she learned from Ding Yuekou that Qiao Yanchi's father, Qiao Jingxian, had died in the hands of "those people" a long time ago and was made into a mummy alive.

So, why do you hate her? Even her "father" died tragically.

"Qiao Junlan," Xia Zhaoyi said, looking at the completely unfamiliar face in the portrait, "Who is she?"

Wang Fengnian said: "My boss, we have to start with Qian's uncle and nephew. Jiangmei and Qian Zhendu, Qian Yilun, both uncles and nephews, are very close to each other. Qian Zhendu only likes Jiangmei's appearance, but Qian Yi Their morals are different, and it is more convenient to spend money on Jiangmei, just because he wants to use Jiangmei's eyes and ears to find the Qiao family. "

Xia Zhaoyi frowned: "It's the Fang family again."

"My boss, we are still not sure that the murderers are really the Qiao family."

Xia Zhaoyi nodded: "I think so too, I think it's most likely."

"There are quite a few. Jiangmei is the oiran of Hengxiang. There is no shortage of bees and butterflies around, and fish and dragons are mixed together. She is also good at sneaking into the camp, and she has many connections. Over the years, Jiangmei has been looking for fruits to sell, and at the same time, she has sent them to Qian Yilun. No less than twenty people from the Qiao clan, men, women, old and young, were sent to those people by Qian Yilun, and the one who joined him was named Fang."

Xia Zhaoyi changed the subject: "Who do you think was responsible for Guo Guan's death?"

Xia Zhaoyi couldn't help but smile: "I begged the Fang family, and I begged you. The next step is probably to ask the Qiao family."

"After digging deeper, I found out that the Fang family was extremely powerful, and the group of reckless men led by Fang Zhenwan were just a handful. However, according to Qian Yilun, the Fang family members who were in contact with him all died one after another in the past two months. ”

Wang Fengnian paused, thought for a while, and said, "It's hard to say for the time being."

If it was 'those people' who silenced him, there was no need for them to be so harsh on their own people, they would have given Guo Guan a very neat death.

"He died a tragic death, not an easy one."

Xia Zhaoyi said: "Then, have you ever found it?"

As he spoke, Wang Fengnian pointed to the portrait: "This woman, Qiao Junlan, is Qian Yilun's stepmother. She is dead. Together with Qian Yilun's father, they both died tragically at the hands of those people. Qian Yilun was afraid of suffering the same fate as his father. He begged those people to spare his life and property, and volunteered to help them search for the Qiao family. "

"A violent death, a tragic death. Qian Yilun said that the murderer should have carried out the attack with great hatred. He speculated that it might be the Qiao family who came for revenge. So after I came to the door and revealed my identity, he agreed with me in everything. He said, beg me on your knees to save him."

"Could it be that they are also members of Qiao's family?"

"What was the cause of death?"

Zhuge Pan can also rule it out. He was not in the right situation at the time, so he wanted to go to Dongping Academy to find out what happened, and took advantage of Yu Yizhou.

Although it is not clear which force is behind Zhuge Pan, he may be from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he may be from Song Zhiyi, Yan Qinglin, or he may be from either Tian Dayao or Yun Bozhong, but he definitely cannot be from the Qiao family. .

So far, Zhuge Pan has only come into contact with the account books of Ning'an House. The flow of these account books can reveal the trend of the war situation. This person is extremely dangerous. "Qiao, Tang Xiangsi, and Feng Qing'ang," Xia Zhaoyi said slowly, "The person who killed Guo Guan should be one of these three parties."

"By the way, boss," Wang Fengnian took out something and put it on the desk, "This jade pendant is Qiao Junlan's relic. Qian Yilun said that he did not dare to mention Qiao Junlan in front of the Fang family, so when he was sorting out her clothes afterwards I didn’t dare to hand over this jade pendant when I found it.”

Xia Zhaoyi picked up the jade pendant and frowned: "What a strange jade pendant."

The silver hook is inlaid with jade, and the jade is inlaid with iron, which is stained with rust, about half the length of her thumb. Although there are rust spots on the iron in the jade, you can still see the fineness of its micro carving.

Speaking of antiquity, this miniature carving technique is no more than fifty years old. Although it is new, the techniques of iron smelting and silver hook forging are really clumsy and lagging behind others.

"My boss, Qiao Junlan, is probably a direct descendant of the Qiao family." Wang Fengnian said.

"What a coincidence," Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly, "Qiao Jingxian is also a direct descendant, and it is said that he ranks third in the family."

After saying that, Xia Zhaoyi weighed the jade pendant in his hand and said: "Leave this jade to Zhili, and this portrait. From now on, 'those people' and the Qiao family will be handed over to Zhili and Wu Renhao. Manager Wang, Next, the Northland will become busier, and you will need to arrange all the military supplies."

Wang Fengnian's expression became serious, he raised his hand and said, "My boss, when will you set off?"

"The sooner the better, it's just a few days."

"In such a hurry!" Wang Fengnian was annoyed, "I knew I should have gone back yesterday!"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "If you hadn't gone to the Qian family, it wouldn't have been delayed. Look, you even brought me this jade pendant."

"That's all we found," Wang Fengnian laughed.

"That's enough, Manager Wang. You have a good rest. I'll go back to Zhiyu Waterside Pavilion first. When Shi Guoxin came to look for me just now, he said that there was a lunatic clamoring to see me at the door of Zhiyu Waterside Pavilion."

"Crazy?" Wang Fengnian's fatigue was swept away, "My boss, do you want me to go with you?"

"It's okay," Xia Zhaoyi put away the jade pendant, "Speaking of it, I quite like madmen, madmen are fun and interesting. You can rest first, I'm leaving."

"Ah."

Xia Zhaoyi went downstairs with her portrait and jade pendant. Shi Guoxin was waiting downstairs. When she came down, he took her portrait and jade pendant and whispered: "Second Miss, just now, Manager Xu sent another message. , saying that a man came to see Kang Jian. Kang Jian had returned to General Shen's residence in Hengxiang, and Manager Xu didn't know whether to tell the man Kang Jian's whereabouts."

Xia Zhaoyi's mind suddenly thought of the Yangliu Tower that Qingque Pavilion had discovered not long ago.

"Xu Yinjun did the right thing," Xia Zhaoyi said as he walked, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

Near Zhiyu Water Pavilion, an old man was slumped on the ground, crying loudly.

In front of the old man, five tall men put their hands on their chests and looked coldly at the old man crying on the ground.

They were like an iron wall. As soon as the old man stood up, they took a step forward and in this way "pushed" the old man far away from the entrance of Zhiyu Waterside Pavilion.

The people around him were attracted by the old man's cry, but no one came to see the fun.

Everyone in Manhengxiang knew where Zhiyu Water Pavilion was, yet someone dared to yell here.
