Chapter 191: Raiding the Clam Spirit's Home
He Yunniang was certainly not the cuckold that Old Madam He put on He Zhaoxian.
The real He Yunnian died of illness when he was young, and the He Yunniang in everyone's eyes was Jiang Yuli, the daughter of the King of Zhenbei, who was secretly brought back from outside by the He family and raised to replace He Yunniang! !
He Zhaoxian knew about this, Old Madam He knew about this, and obviously, He Jianxing also knew about this later.
The only ones in the family who were kept in the dark were Qin Shuyu and a few younger generations.
At the beginning, the He family adopted Jiang Yuli for a simple purpose, just to repay Princess Zhenbei for saving their lives many years ago.
However, as the He family raised the child, they began to waver.
In fact, we can’t blame He Zhaoxian.
He Zhaoxian lived a mediocre life under the halo of He family ancestor He Qishan, and only became a powerless Guanglu Doctor when he was forty years old.
His son He Jianxing seemed to be doing well and was admitted to the Secretariat as soon as he entered the officialdom.
But He Zhaoxian knew that He Jianxing was indecisive and cautious, and was more than qualified to be a fourth-rank civil servant.
But if you want to be valued by Fan Zhishan, Zhang Qiu and those two old foxes and take a step closer to the power core of Tianying, you must show more sincerity and... capital! !
In order to pave the way for He Jianxing, the daughter of King Zhenbei became the He family's sincerity in surrendering.
Although He Zhaoxian held back and did not tell the two old foxes that the daughter he raised was Jiang Yuli, the daughter of King Zhenbei, he had already revealed Jiang Yuli's existence and pushed her to the forefront.
Later, Jiang Yuli learned about her own life experience and also found out that the He family used her life experience as a bargain to pave the way for He Jianxing. So she decided to go all out and eloped with them and left the capital.
The He family did not dare to look for someone in a high-profile manner, and were afraid that this incident would affect He Jianxing's career, so they lied that "He Yunniang" had married and moved away.
It was not until Xie Chen informed the He family of the news at the suggestion of Xiao Haizhou that the He family learned that Jiang Yuli had died in a foreign land. They then hurriedly sent people to Xuchuan to bring Zhao Mianmian back.
Although Zhao Mianmian's surname is Zhao, she is Jiang Yuli's only child, and the only bloodline of Zhenbei King Jiang Quhuai left in this world!
Of course, blood relationship is not important at all. What is important is the three words "King of Zhenbei".
When the King of Zhenbei was alive, he was extremely powerful. He single-handedly raised an invincible Qingyan Army and expanded the northwest border of Tianying by a hundred miles to the north.
Although he later disappeared inexplicably, causing the northwest defense line to collapse for a time, in everyone's eyes, he was also a rare god of war in Tianying's history for a hundred years.
There are many rumors about the King of Zhenbei.
Some people said that the reason why he was such a master in military operations was because he had obtained the ancient military book "Shenbingjian".
Some people said that he was able to build an invincible army in just a few years because he had the "Nine Stars Map of Xiling", a relic from the previous dynasty.
The "Nine Star Map of Xiling" records the location of the Southern Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, where inexhaustible treasures are buried.
Some people also say that the King of Zhenbei was not actually missing, but took 300,000 Qingyan soldiers to the Western Frontier to train ghost soldiers.
As long as you find the location of King Zhenbei, you can become the master of the 300,000 ghost soldiers, encompass the four seas, and unify the world.
These rumors are true and false, real and unreal.
But without exception, they have attracted a lot of people from all over the world.
It is not difficult to imagine that once the news that Zhao Mianmian is the descendant of the King of Zhenbei spreads, it will bring about earth-shaking changes to the He family, Zhao Mianmian, and even the entire court! !
Xiao Haizhou dismissed everyone and stood in front of the window for a long time, thinking. Finally, he asked someone to pass the message to Yao Hongbo.
Late at night, two figures entered the Xiao family's villa one after another.
We didn't leave until dawn...
**
More than three months passed in a flash.
During these three months, Yao Hongbo has been angry with everyone in Beijing.
Except for the nine-year-old emperor and the powerful Tutor Xiao, all the civil and military officials in the court were offended by him.
Everyone hoped that this troublemaker would finish his report as soon as possible and go back to his northwest camp.
But Yao Hongbo was like a possessed man. He stayed in the capital for more than three months and was reluctant to mention the matter of setting off back to the northwest.
"I thought that Uncle Yao Hong's return to Beijing would cause trouble for the Xiao family, but unexpectedly, this trouble did not fall on Xiao Haizhou, but on us!"
"That's right! You don't know, he came to my place three times in the past half month, and scared me so much that I didn't even dare to go to the government office. I just wandered around the streets for most of the day."
"No, no, how did your Ministry of Rites offend him?"
"Oh, isn't it that incident from last year? I was fined half a year's salary for that incident, and it took me a lot of effort to get over it.
But when Uncle Yao Hong came, he just pulled it out for me again.
If he doesn't return to the northwest, I'm afraid my body will be hung on the city gate in two days! ! "
"Oh, is Yao Hongbo so powerful? Isn't he the son of Prince Ning's family? How about you ask someone to go to Prince Ning's mansion and tell him to take care of it?"
"I said it, why didn't you say it? The key is, it doesn't work!
He can't be beaten or moved, and King Ning also has a headache when mentioning him.
I really don’t know which smart person came up with the idea to bring this ancestor back to Beijing!!”
"Alright, alright, Mr. Zhou is here, stop talking."
That day, He Jianxing invited several colleagues to have a small gathering at his home.
Logically, such social events were usually held in Minghe Tower in the past.
But now Yao Hongbo is still in Beijing, and everyone thought it was better to have less trouble than more, so they changed the venue for the social event from Minghe Tower to the He family.
Zhao Mianmian had not originally intended to eavesdrop, but she had very good ears. She only walked through the garden and heard most of what everyone was saying about Yao Hongbo.
[Oh my god, is Yao Hongbo so awesome that he can take on the entire court by himself? Sure, sure.]
[Oh, this is a typical case of killing people without caring about burying them. Anyway, he can go back to the Northwest Camp as soon as he finishes his job report. Why does he care about what the officials in Beijing say about him behind his back?]
[Tsk tsk, if I didn't know that Yao Hongbo was pushed out by Prince Ning to annoy Father Xiao, I would have suspected that he was a spy sent by the enemy country to sow discord! ]
[But then again, the anchor has received a lot of things from others in the past three months. If Yao Hongbo is really a spy from the enemy country, the anchor should make plans early and clear himself as soon as possible.]
[That’s right, the anchor finally reached level 5, don’t let this kind of thing get you targeted by the Xuanlin Guards and ruin your life.]
[Wait, wait, wait, I haven't been here for a few days, what did the anchor receive from others? ? ]
[Let me think... Yesterday it was a pair of small black pearl pendants, the day before yesterday it was a comb inlaid with South China pearls, and the day before that it was...]

[No, host, you copied the clam spirit's hometown?! ]
Zhao Mianmian:
