"I heard that you have to see me before you're willing to tell the truth." Wei Chang Ying placed the tea bowl on the plum blossom style sandalwood table by his hand and said with a light smile, "Now that you've seen the person, just say what you have to say."
Has freshened up Lai Qinniang look up to look depressed, rather than a step into the city of Xilang was escorted into the female prisoners on her caused a great blow, but more to say that always loved cleanliness of her by the dirty and filthy environment in the prison was scared not light. At the moment, she followed Mu Chunmian inside, her eyes lowered and she couldn't see the untamed and unruly behavior that she had heard about before.
Seeing her like this, Wei Changying felt that it was right to give her a warning first. Although the status of this female bandit is different from his own, a young girl can be mixed in the bandit gang to the position of second in command after her brother, even if there is a reason for Jigu and Lai Danyong to be in the middle of it, he himself must be a person with guts and skill. Otherwise, Lai Dayong and Jigu could not be with her at all times, without some ability where to suppress those rough and tough bandits?
Before, Mu Chunmian, a fortress owner of a straggler settlement, dared to deceive himself and Duanmu Xinmiao, not to mention this bandit gang leader.
Wei Changying had learned a lesson from Mu Chunmian, so how could he be polite to this Lai Qiniang? Now we can see that this is really useful it saves us a lot of trial and error.
From the bottom of her heart, Lai Qinniang didn't dare to play any more tricks, and hung her head down and said, "I can only tell you one person."
Mu Chunmian whispered to remind her to phrase it politely.
Wei Changying didn't really care, she didn't expect a female bandit to be sensible anyway. After hearing this condition, she looked at the person who had accompanied them and saw the servant nodding slightly, indicating that both of them had been searched and confirmed to be free of murder weapons of course, this was not necessary for ordinary women, but since both of them had come from a slightly wrong background and had to come to Wei Changying to talk, the servants did not dare to treat them lightly.
Since he didn't have any weapon with him, Wei Changying nodded his head in response, confident in his martial arts skills.
At that moment the crowd retreated together and closed the door.
Wei Changying then said, "You can speak now."
Lai Qiniang had been instructed by Mu Chunmian to be as obedient as possible, and she was not allowed to raise her head to look directly at the hall. Only now did she have a chance to see Wei Changying's face clearly, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face, her eyes flicked over Wei Changying's face twice before she retracted them, the corners of her mouth slightly turned away.
She has always been proud of her beauty, in the people she has seen before there is no one who can compare to her. She had heard Ji Gu say that her talent was among the best even in a prosperous place like the imperial capital, so she had always been proud of it. She thought that although Wei Changying was from a noble family, she might not be as beautiful as herself.
In order not to arouse Wei Changying's jealousy, Lai Qiniang had borrowed an old dress from Mu Chunmian before entering Mingpei Hall, thinking to cover up her natural beauty, so that she wouldn't be jealous of the Shen family's noblewoman at first sight.
Do not want to this will look, but found that this sitting on the hall of the noblewoman beauty than their own although only vaguely over a line, but because of the body damask brocade embroidery, full of beads and emeralds, light sweeping eyebrows slightly point Zhu lips, look at the Chinese color with light appearance of ten thousand square, born to Laiqinniang than eclipsed.
Lai Qinniang heart can not help but a sour, first thought: "in fact, this lady's beauty and I only in between, just her such a person want to know is since childhood to raise respect extremely well maintained. Single her body of fine skin and tender flesh, is not my such as the wind and rain to go to the reckless people can be compared. What's more, she's all dressed up in beads and colors and embroidery brilliant, even if the Mengshan gang has a lot of savings, but to come up with such exquisite complete think also difficult."
And thought, "If I had known that she was so beautiful, I should have dressed up this day. Previously imprisoned already put my sharpness are knocked out, and now dressed in such a shabby and despicable, speak all unwarrantedly low voice ...... This lady good calculating, first take me to jail to give me a downward spiral, and then with the name of jealousy forced me not to dare to dress up to come, step by step by her pressure, can only follow her meaning to go."
Her heart was fluttering, Wei Changying waited for a few moments and saw that she was silent, but she became impatient: "Why did you send all the people down, don't you want to come alone to amuse me?"
"No." Lai Qiniang was stunned and came back to her senses, saying in a panic, "It's just that this matter is really big."
Wei Changying barely managed to hold his tongue. He faintly said, "You just talk about things, and I'll judge for myself whether it's a big or small matter!"
Lai Qinniang has been hit again and again, and now her mind has collapsed and she has no more plans to fight with Wei Changying. She thought of what Mo Binwei had said before, that she would tell Wei Changying straight out when she couldn't get through it, and that Wei Changying couldn't just sit back and watch her family suffer a big loss.
At this moment just put his heart on the line and told it all: "There are mines in the mountains of Meng."
"Mine?" Wei Chang Ying was stunned and subconsciously said, "What kind of mine? Could it be the ...... gold mine?" Her eyes slightly condensed, although it is said that Wei Changying is accustomed to the rich and noble, idle industry are not on the mind, however, she also knows that the valve reading hundreds of years of accumulation, certainly rich assets uncountable, but to support a huge number of clansmen, as well as private soldiers and staff, the expenditure is not to say not big.
Otherwise it wouldn't have been a situation where the far-flung clansmen were as poor as the common people.
If a gold mine ...... is found in the middle of Mengshan, no wonder Wei Xinrong will send Mo Binwei to fight all the way from South Mengshan to North Mengshan!
But Lai Qinniang shook her head and said, "It's not a gold mine, it's a ...... jade mine!"
"Jade mine?" Wei Chang Ying narrowed his eyes, it is said that gold has a price and jade is priceless, although it is said that jade is not discounted as quickly as gold, but if it is placed in a prosperous world, it can be more valuable than a gold mine. Even in a chaotic world, it was not an industry to be taken lightly.
She asked, "What kind of jade is it? How big is it?"
She saw Lai Qiniang pull up her sleeve, revealing two finger rings, one black and one white, on her own finger, and said, "This was made from the jade picked up near the jade mine by the duke's uncle back then."
Wei Changying asked her to come closer and gazed at the two kinds of jade, which were different in color, but both of them were warm and pure, obviously of excellent quality. She quickly estimated the price and asked Lai Qiniang, "How big is this mine?"
"I don't know either." Lai Qinniang put down her sleeves, pursed her lips, and said, "I only know that Gongzi's biological father and his siblings both died for this."
"Oh?" Wei Changying had earlier heard Shen Zangfeng mention that Wei Xinrong's grudge against the Marquis of Jingcheng was related to Wei Jie and Wei Xintai, but the specifics were unknown. Not wanting Wei Xin Yong to actually tell Lai Qiniang that it was because of the jade mine, she became interested and asked, "What's going on?"
Lai Qinniang said: "It's a long story this jade mine was discovered by the Prince's own uncle, Ancient Joe. Twenty years ago, in order to raise money to get married, Ancient Joe went to Peach Blossom County in the irrigation state to collect a few kinds of medicinal herbs, which he wanted to bring back to the imperial capital to resell. As a result, soon after he arrived in Fuzhou, he accidentally lost his money bag, and although he relied on his companions to save him from living on the streets, he had no money to go back, let alone to buy herbs and bring them back to the imperial capital. Ancient abbot is not willing to beg and return, simply bite the bullet and enter the mountain. Want to take advantage of the companion is still in the irrigation state, the light of his food and shelter to pick some valuable herbs. As a result, after entering the mountain, the medicinal herbs did not pick what special, but in the stream under the jade found. Following the stream, we discovered a jade mine."
Wei Chang Ying secretly sighed, "This Gu is very lucky. Even if he is trying to save up money, he has ventured into more dangerous places, but there are quite a lot of people born and raised here in Peach Blossom County who go into the mountains, and the streams in the mountains can't be bigger than the trees, and it's amazing that this guy picked up the jade and found out about the existence of the jade mines all these years down the road, so there's not even a hint of it.
I heard Lai Qiniang continue, "It's just that the old abbot came from a humble background, and he wanted to monopolize the mine, but he had no power, so I was afraid that if he forced himself to mine, it would be detrimental to his own life. After thinking about it, he could only hide the two pieces of jade he found in the stream, and borrowed silver from his companions to return to his home in the imperial capital, intending to discuss the matter with his parents and relatives. However, when he returned to the imperial capital, he found that his sister, that is, the son's birth mother, Mrs. Gu, had been taken as a concubine by a son of Zhi Ben Tang, and was pregnant. Abbot Gu was the one who had the bright idea of utilizing the Wei family's power."
"It's just that the Prince's biological father, Master Wei, was certainly a Valve Parade son, but because he was a concubine, and the old Marquis of Jingcheng had died at that time, there were neither many people available, nor much power."
Wei Chang Ying thought to himself, that Wei Jiu is the old Jingcheng Marquis of the late years of the favorite concubine out, although the old Jingcheng Marquis did not favor him to the point of the title will be passed on to him, but think it is also a very maintenance of the connivance. Wei Jiu but also did not have any achievements due to his father's support ...... visible Wei Jiu qualification is far worse than his son Wei Xin Yong.
Lai Qinniang continued: "Master Wei is also unable to directly occupy the jade mine, but also do not dare to call the Marquis of Jingcheng know, lest it be taken by the Marquis of Jingcheng. He was planning to get an official position in the irrigation state government, so that he could think long and hard about it. However, because of various reasons, has not been able to realize. On the contrary, it gradually aroused the suspicion of Marquis Jingcheng!"
"Then how did it involve my clan aunt?" Wei Changying asked thoughtfully.
Lai Qiniang revealed a look of indignation, disgust, said: "Jingcheng Hou has become suspicious, he is busy with the government, since it is impossible to personally keep an eye on Master Wei. So he instructed his second son, Wei Qingxiao, to keep an eye on Master Wei's house....... That Wei Qingxiao is the first cousin of the son and the young lady but he's a beast with a face that's worse than a beast."
Hearing her scold her like this, Wei Changying roughly guessed what Wei Qingxiao had done.
Sure enough, Lai Qinniang disgustedly said, "He stared at Master Wei this room not a few days, see Miss born beautiful, even ...... at that time, the male son was five years old, Miss is only seven years old!"
Wei Chang Ying also couldn't help but change his face, "This Wei Qing Xiao is actually so shameless?!"
She vaguely heard that many people in high families have ulterior motives, not to be investigated in detail, because under the nasty and disgusting, for fear that ordinary people can not even listen to hear.
Preferring young girls is one of them ......
However, this kind of preference is probably to buy the commoner's daughter or lowly girl to play with, in the end will not extend their hands to the same scholar's daughter, let alone their own cousin's body!
Wei Changying only felt sick to his stomach compared to this Wei Qingxiao, the former crown prince Shen Xun was considered a good person!
At least Wei Changjuan, who was raped to death by Shen Xun, was old enough to be married. The woman who was raped to death, Wei Changjuan, had also reached the age of maturity, at least Shen Xun was forced to take a young girl instead of a young girl!
A seven-year-old cousin. What kind of animal would do that?
Lai Qiniang sneered, ''What would I lie to you, ma'am? This thing is the son's heartache, the son originally swore that he would never tell anyone in his life! Only the son knows that you do not trust him, afraid that you, ma'am, will make things difficult for him, so that he can not take revenge, which is why he sent his boy Hu Nu to quietly run a leg, told me these things. So that I can answer the lady! Madam if you do not believe, you can repair a letter to ask the Prince, just madam please think, this is not something to gain face, the Prince why do you want to make up so much about your only sister?"
Even though he hadn't seen Wei Xintai at all, Wei Changying said morosely, "Let's talk about this in a while....... In the future, if I have the chance, I'll make sure that this Wei Qingxiao doesn't have a good death!" This is a disgusting person who prefers young girls, and he even laid his hands on his young cousin not to mention his distant uncle, even if he is his own uncle, Wei Changying thinks that this kind of person is better to die earlier!
Lai Qiniang didn't want her to answer like this, stunned for a moment, the arrogance that had just surfaced in her eyes faded a bit, saying, "Your son's revenge, your son must want to report it personally. I just want to thank you for your heart."
Wei Chang Ying reached out and rubbed his forehead, saying, "Then what happened to Wei ...... my clan uncle? I've heard people say that my clan uncle died around the same time as my clan aunt, and it was reported at the time that father and daughter were violently ill together."
"When the young lady was ...... struggling and crying, she startled Master Wei, so ......" Lai Qiniang sneered and said, "After Marquis Jingcheng knew about it, he In order to preserve the reputation of his second son, he let Master Wei and the young lady fall violently ill. If not for the old man saw the situation is not good, take advantage of the Marquis of Jingcheng before the first to escape, but also in the haste to leave a letter in the public son at that time often play place. I'm afraid that the Prince would not have been able to know the truth for the rest of his life!"
