Chapter 160 - Chun Sanshiniang made her move
For the Jiao Si'er to be able to obtain the Ministry of Internal Affairs's love, and to receive the mission of monitoring Xiao Letian, it was all thanks to his daughter-in-law. This woman, who was nicknamed Mei Er, was rather well-known in the Beijing. The several directors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were involved with this woman, and many of the Jiao family's businesses were bought and sold by her.
Mei Er's home was the same as the Jiao family's, they were all the coating's flags when the Qing Dynasty was founded. These descendants of the Han Dynasty had long forgotten their ancestors' honor and honor, and were forced into the master slave system.
Manchu was originally a minority tribe, so they were very open to men and women. The women raised by the slave families would gradually let things go, because they could learn faster than anyone else how dirty and smelly the Great Mansion was.
Mei Er was already a well-known courtesan in the capital before she even left the pavilion. When she married into the Jiao family, she would be even more popular. With the deliberate connivance of the Jiao Si'er, Mei Er quickly mixed up with the manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and even some of the nobles in the capital.
Jiao Si'er was a dead person who wanted money. When his daughter-in-law went out to flirt, he felt honored. A daughter-in-law who could bring practical benefits to the family was a good daughter-in-law.
The loss of 1000 gold taels early in the morning made Mei Er so angry that she didn't even eat breakfast. Although she knew it was reasonable that she couldn't report it to the government, she still couldn't vent her anger in her heart.
When it was almost noon, the old granny of the Jiao family was snorting angrily on her bed with a towel tied to her forehead. A scream came from outside the yard, frightening her so much that she sat up.
”Guilty ah, this is sinful ah, are you still letting me live?” Are they all going to rebel … ”
”Old lady, it's my wife who's back. It's my wife who's crying!” The maidservants spoke at the same time and quickly picked the curtains. At this moment, the unkempt daughter-in-law rushed in.
”Mother!” His son was lost, the tiger's head was lost … ”Sob, sob, sob …” Mei Er sat down on the ground and kicked her legs while crying.
Even if the old lady wasn't a thing, there was still love in her heart. Being separated by a generation was the most heart-wrenching emotion in the world. When the old lady heard that her grandson had been lost, she immediately blacked out.
This time, the Great Mansion was in an uproar. The maids ran around the courtyard like headless flies, pinching people, pouring warm water, and slapping their chest and back for a long time before they finally woke up the old lady.
”Aiyo, my god …” My lifeblood... ”You little slut, how did you manage to lose the tiger's head? Are all your family members blind, deaf and idiots …”
At this time, Jiao Si'er's son also ran over. When he heard that a treasure was lost in his heart, he immediately gave his wife a big slap on the face, ”Are you stupid? Where are your relatives? ”You can't even look at children …”
This time, the usually fierce woman didn't even dare to retaliate. She stuttered, ”Tiger's Head …” The tiger's head wasn't lost in our house... I didn't go back to my parents' home today … ” Then, with a wail, Mei Er hugged her head and cried.
The son of the Jiao Si'er interrogated three of his female attendants. Finally, he found out that this slut had gone to find a relationship with them in the daytime out of concern for money. How could she find any sort of relationship with them? Isn't she just going to find the stewards of the belle's Bei Zi and Ministry of Internal Affairs s to exchange his flesh for their help?
And the family's precious baby, Little Tiger, went missing while this woman was fooling around with a wild man.
At this point, everyone in the room understood that the family had offended someone and had been targeted. Whether it was losing money or losing their son, there had to be a connection.
While the courtyard of the Jiao family was in chaos, in the tea house at the end of the street, a middle-aged woman was drinking tea quietly. The two men sitting in front of her were incomparably respectful.
The person drinking tea was the intelligence officer, the one who was very useful to Xiao Letian. This woman, who was trained by the Tian Guo Intelligence agency, was listening to the noise coming from the house with the corner of his mouth slightly raised from time to time.
”It became a pot of porridge? ”Very good, very good. These kind of despicable people are unable to reason with them. Sometimes, they even need to use some evil tricks …” At this point, the Chun Sanshiniang flicked her wrist and a black light shot out towards the Jiao family's main gate.
With a muffled bang, the arrow carrying the letter was nailed to the wooden door. The loud vibration had alarmed the servant of the gatekeeper. When he opened the door, he was so scared that cold sweat broke out all over his body.
The door looked around, and when he saw the teahouse at the end of the street, there was no one there.
”Young Master, Old Lady …” ”Everyone, take a look! There's even a short arrow nailed to the door. There's even a letter!” By the time the young master finished reading the text message three times in a row, his hands were already covering his forehead and his body was soft on the chair.
”This is going to cost me my life …” ”Wuwuwu, our tiger head has been kidnapped. The kidnappers said that we can't reveal our identity or else we'll tear them apart …”
The whole house burst into an uproar. In those days, if any family dared to provoke the underworld, then they would have to wait for their entire family to be destroyed. The amount of sweat and blood that the Jiao family had accumulated over the generations would not be enough to protect them.
”We can't tear votes, we absolutely can't tear votes …” If we give them money, we'll have to gather it up even if we have to sell our houses! ”” No, no... The old lady was going crazy. Her grandson was her life.
