Chapter 142 The news I heard

"The death of County Magistrate Du cannot be separated from Prime Minister Qiu's people. He either directly ordered or his confidants were done by him. Your father was implicated by County Magistrate Du. As for why the prime minister of a country targeted a seventh-rank county magistrate like this, we have to talk about his previous identity.

County Magistrate Du is the favorite student of Prime Minister Ning. Before Prime Minister Ning had an accident, he was a third-rank official in Xijing. Prime Minister Ning fell. County Magistrate Du also became unlucky, and he went from being a third-rank official to a seventh-rank official. Anyone who heard it would have doubts about the inside story. The specific situation was more complicated and it had nothing to do with us.

Because there was a feud between the two sides, County Magistrate Du must have guessed that the other party would attack before reporting the drainage truck, so he made an ambush near your house in advance.

If others are others, we can find a way to seek justice. But the other party is the prime minister of a country. We are really powerless. But you don’t have to be angry. You should have heard of the matter of Yunlai Inn.” Qiu Jingming changed the topic and proposed to Yunlai Inn.

Tang Ning raised his eyebrows, "You mean Prime Minister Qiu's daughter."

"Yeah!" Qiu Jingming looked at her with heartache, "I know everything that happened that day. Fortunately, you are fine! Old Gou Qiu originally planned to send this daughter to the palace next year. Now that woman was poisoned, her skin was ulcerated and she was unconscious. Even if she woke up, she would be useless. The concubine couldn't even think about it. In this way, you can take revenge."

Tang Ning suddenly widened his eyes, "That's serious?"

Qiu Jingming nodded, "According to the doctor who came to the hospital, it was not that serious at the beginning, but it was red and fevered all over, and had a high fever and coma. They used various methods to relieve the fever but had no effect. On the third day, Miss Qiu began to grow pustules on her body, ulcerated, and she grew and she was incomplete.

The doctors here have tried their best and are powerless, so they can only send people to Suzhou City. If the doctors in Suzhou City cannot save them, they can only rush back to Xijing to find the imperial doctor."

Tang Ning was stunned when she heard this. When she used poisonous mushrooms to make those medicine powder, she knew that the thing was extremely toxic. But before, she only used it with a needle and knew what the consequences would be after entering the blood circulation. However, she didn't know that the external toxicity was so strong. Fortunately, Miss Qiu had no external injuries, otherwise... she would have suffered less.

Seeing her dazed, Qiu Jingming thought she was scared, so he hurriedly comforted her: "Mr. Liu has already reported the results of the incident to the superiors and has not mentioned you. As for Miss Qiu's personal maid, Lord Liu has also written a detailed investigation and confirmed that it has nothing to do with you. He also vaguely stated that the maid wants to find a scapegoat."

"Mr. Liu believes so much? It shouldn't be!" Tang Ning was really shocked this time.

Qiu Jingming shook his head, "I don't know this, but this Lord Liu has a good reputation. He is probably the kind of decent person. Maybe he can't stand Qiu Laogou's hands covering the sky, so he followed the trouble and helped you easily."

Tang Ning nodded thoughtfully, this statement was quite tenable, "But... there are two things that make sense. County Magistrate Du knew that Old Gou of Qiu was targeting him, but he would still attack him. Why did he hand over the letter? Isn't this digging a hole and burying himself, seeking death?

And this Miss Qiu, the dignified Prime Minister’s Mansion, what are we doing in our broken town? Are there any Lingshan and beautiful waters or beautiful men’s food here, which is worth her traveling thousands of miles away!”

Qiu Jingming chuckled helplessly and shook her head slightly, "Not that. I don't know what County Magistrate Du thought, but I must have planned it. As for Miss Qiu, she originally planned to enter the palace next year, and wanted to visit Jiangnan before entering the palace. She has almost traveled all over Jiangnan from Yangzhou, Changzhou, Huzhou to Suzhou, Jiangnan. This time she came to Anhong County for your silk soap.

I heard that Miss Qiu accidentally used your silk soap when she arrived in Jiangnan. She was thinking about it. She was always filial to the people below before, and she never put her ideas on you. Now she is about to return to Xijing, and she meets Princess Ziyang and needs a gift when she gets married. She can't find anything good to watch, so she thinks about this silk soap.

Before coming to Anhong County, she sent someone to inquire about your background. Maybe she thought that she was just a civilian girl who didn't take you seriously, but who knew she was rejected by you.

Fortunately, something happened to that woman, otherwise she would not let you go with her vengeful temperament, and even Uncle Tang and Aunt might be in danger."

Tang Ning gave Qiu Jingming a thumbs up, "I didn't expect that you could see the woman so thoroughly just by investigating. Indeed, if nothing happened to her, our family would be the one who had something to do!"

Qiu Jingming met Tang Ning's meaningful eyes and realized immediately, frowned and said, "It's so risky! Fortunately, the ending is good! Alas! I don't know what happened to you, you, there will always be troubles to come to you. It seems that I have to come back in the future, otherwise I will have to be hindsight."

Tang Ning was amused by Qiu Jingming's words and said, "Don't worry, if you are here next time, I will definitely come to you if I have something to do."

"I've agreed, I can't keep my word." Qiu Jingming stretched out his little finger with a serious look on his face.

Tang Ning never expected that he, a mature boy, would do such a childish behavior, so he could only stretch out his little finger with laughter and cry, "Okay, pull the hook, you can't change for a hundred years..."

After receiving Tang Ning's promise, Qiu Jingming returned to his room with satisfaction, looking at the remaining warmth in his little finger, his face unconsciously radiating a warm smile.

After that, Qiu Jingming really didn't go out again as he said, for about ten days, he would come back in five or six days at most, and sometimes he would come back in three or four days.

His change seemed to Jiang's ability, because Qiu Jingming had not reduced the amount of goods he took from her every time, but he could buy it in a shorter time. It was simply unmatched!

When he returned to his room at night, Jiang couldn't help but mutter to Tang Junsheng: "Children's father, what do you think of Jing Ming's child?"

"It's pretty good, what's wrong?" Tang Junsheng raised the quilt and asked in confusion.

Jiang opened the bun on his head and said, "Look, our eldest brother got married and the third brother got engaged. Only Aning's marriage has not yet been settled. She is on the fifteenth day of the Chinese New Year. Am I worried about her marriage!"

"What's wrong? Do you like Jing Ming?" Tang Junsheng asked.

Jiang nodded honestly, "I think that child is good. Although his relationship is a little weak, he has an elderly grandfather and a weak sister to take care of, but he is capable! Look, it's so difficult. He has saved up a lot of money. I don't know anything else. The child earned dozens of taels of silver just by entering the mohua and dates from me.
