[Comprehensive] Chronicles of Supporting Roles in Time Traveling

The night was dark, and it was time for the guards of the General's Mansion to switch.

Red lanterns hang high under the high eaves.Jiang Dongcai walked towards the hut where he rested during the value exchange, and his subordinates greeted him all the way. Normally he would nod in response, but today he was uncharacteristically, expressionless and unresponsive.

It was a cool summer day, but he closed the door and sat quietly at the table, repeatedly pinching the space between his eyebrows with his right thumb and index finger.

"Knock knock."

When there was a knock on the door, Jiang Dong frowned. Before he could agree, the door was pushed open. Zhang Yikui walked in with a smile on his face, holding a jug of wine in one hand and a plate of peanuts in the other. "Brother Jiang, we two brothers haven't had a drink together for a long time. It's better to hit the sun than choose a date. How many drinks will you have with my brother tonight?"

Zhang Yikui strode into the room, walked to the table and sat down in one or two steps, picked up the upside-down tea bowl on the table, and poured a bowl of wine for Jiang Dongcai and himself.

When Jiang Dong saw that it was Zhang Yikui who came, his face softened, but he refused to drink with him, "I will be on duty later, so I don't want to get drunk."

Zhang Yikui didn't take it seriously, "I don't know how much you drink? Don't say we share this pot, even if you add two more pots for each of you to drink, it's not enough to put you down—why, don't you give me face?"

Jiang Dongcai couldn't recommend it again and again, coupled with the depression in his heart, he still picked up the bowl and drank the wine. Zhang Yikui remained calm and filled it up for him. "Brother, I am very upset to see you, why? Now you are No. 1 in the General's Mansion, I think even Ah Shan has to take a shot haha."

"Brother, don't laugh at me, it's just that the general values ​​me, and I'll just repay it with loyalty." Jiang Dong had only had three bowls of wine, and couldn't help asking: "Brother, there was a fire in the madam's courtyard that day—the one who was circumcised The villain in the neck was really your hand?"

"Yes," Zhang Yikui remained calm, "What's wrong?"

"With my brother's kung fu and strength, how can he cut someone's neck so shallow? I'm afraid that the head of that villain will be cut off..."

"Oh, there's an inside story in it."

"Oh?" Jiang Dong was excited, "What is it?"

"It's not difficult to answer my inside information," Zhang Yikui said, "It's just that I also have a question."

"Brother, please speak."

"Madam's Yanying Pavilion is hidden deep in the backyard of the General's Mansion. You, my brother, guard the General's Mansion like an iron barrel. It is strange that the courtyard is on fire, and there are gangsters who take advantage of the fire to rob—how did the gangsters sneak in?"

"This...I was waiting for a group of people to fight the fire that day, so I couldn't help being negligent for a while."

"Really?" Zhang Yikui slowly drank the remaining wine in the bowl, "I'm afraid you were busy setting fire and killing everyone who fled Yanying Pavilion at that time, right?"

"You...!" Jiang Dong stood up with a "huh", smashed the tea bowl in his hand to the ground, and pulled out the long knife from his waist with one hand! "Come on! Come on!"

Zhang Yikui was as motionless as a mountain, watching Jiang Dongcai slowly curl up into a ball with abdominal pain, he couldn't even say "you, you..." who asked him to blame, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, when I came to ask you to drink , Your people have been put to death."

Jiang Dongcai's eyes were tearing apart, he was curled up on the ground and could no longer make a sound, but Zhang Yikui still calmed down, "As for your question, let me tell you something - I didn't really kill that person, it was Madam who killed him." He said Standing up, he kicked the dead body on the ground with his toe, "Madam is right, you don't need to go to great lengths to find some kind of poison if you kill someone, just find a peddler in the market and buy two packs of rat poison It's enough to kill you."

Yanying Pavilion.

Luo Lin was once again stopped by Gan Zhu outside Yan Ji's house.

"Get out of the way! I know Er Niang is awake." Luo Lin was worried and angry at the same time, "The stewards and servants in the mansion were interrupted for a round. It was Er Niang's order—how is she? I want to see Mother-in-law!"

"Miss, please come back tomorrow, Madam woke up for a while, and now she is unable to tolerate the medicine and fell asleep again." Gan Zhu explained in a gentle voice, this is indeed true.

"Er Niang is awake, why didn't you send someone to call me?" Gan Zhu was both happy and angry, "And let her worry about trivial matters."

"The Yanying Pavilion was caught in a fire before, and it may be the work of some unscrupulous servants," Gan Zhu explained in a low voice, "Madam also arranged for loyal servants to replace those blind men for the sake of sleeping peacefully on the couch." See you..."

Luo Lin didn't care about the affairs of the servants, but Er Niang's safety was her concern, "I'll go in and have a look at Er Niang, I won't wake her up."

Ganzhu had no choice but to avoid her and let her in.

When Luo Lin saw Yan Ji, who was covered by the brocade quilt on the bed, she was pale and weak, her tears flowed down immediately, "Emiang, please, get well soon."

"Nurse Gui, what's the noise outside?" He told the old lady that she had already changed her clothes and was about to go to bed, when she heard something unusual in the courtyard, because it was an eventful season, and she kept the past in mind, so she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Nanny Gui listened intently for a while, and said: "The shadows are faint, and the old slave can't understand it. I'll go out and have a look later—Old Furen, let's drink the soothing soup."

The old lady drank a bowl of calming soup as she said, "I'm really old and feel light. Without this thing, I can't sleep well at night."

"Old lady, relax your mind, and sleep peacefully overnight without any worries—according to the old slave, the old lady has lived a lifetime of happiness, and by now, everything should be as she wants it to be."

"I would like to accept your auspicious words." The old lady sighed, "I also thought that there was nothing worth worrying about at this age, but who knew that Nuda Haihe——ah, I'm just sorry for Yanji. In the past twenty years, she Although jealousy is small, it’s not a big mistake—what’s more, there are brothers and sisters like Jiyuan and Luo Lin—you have to handle things in a leak-proof manner! Don’t let them know a little bit! Otherwise, there will be no peace in the future—— ——That Xinyue Gege, I really don't know if she is a blessing or a disaster for his Talla family! I just hope everything is as Nu Dahai said."

His life and future were decided in a short conversation, but Nanny Gui remained expressionless, "Don't worry, old lady, everything has been arranged. Mrs. Yanji is seriously ill now, hasn't the imperial doctor already told me to make arrangements for the funeral, not to mention there is still a future?" Hand—Jiang Dong is loyal to the general, and he is willing to listen to the old lady, even though there was an accident in the fire prevention that day... there will always be a next time."

The old lady was silent for a while, "I thought that the villain who sneaked into the Yanying Pavilion was arranged by Nu Dahai - I'm afraid it wasn't, his wife's reputation will be damaged, and it will be difficult for him to see people in his house in the future, I'm afraid The one who can't wait..."

Nanny Gui understood what she was saying, "Old lady is referring to... Xinyue Gege?" In order to slander her innocence so that she can no longer be the general's wife anyway, it is very possible for her to replace her.

Just why is the timing so coincidental? ——On the day when the angel came to proclaim the Queen Mother's edict, the old lady learned the truth about Xinyue Gege's escape, and knew that the general's mansion was doomed. Ma sent a letter to the general, and when the general's letter came back, the old lady decided to send the lingering sick wife to a dead end, and Jiang Dong arranged for people to set fire to kill people-but how did Xinyue Gege know that Yanying Pavilion was going to be chaotic that day, so he took the opportunity to send the the villain?Is it just a coincidence, or has it been a long time since I spied on the General's Mansion and the Yanying Pavilion?Or, is it simply that the general and Xinyue are communicating with each other?

Nanny Gui was inevitably taken aback.

The old lady snorted, "Left and right are asking for the same result——Yan Ji, it's not right to miss it again, explain it to me, and increase the dose of medicine."

"Yes. Tomorrow, I'll go find that little maid named Bi Ye..."

"Minger?" The old lady frowned.

Nanny Gui quickly explained, "She's taking turns off today, and she won't be back until tomorrow after going home to see my mother."

"What?! How can this kind of people let her out of the house?" The old lady was furious, "What if she leaks such an important secret?"

"She doesn't dare. Her family's life is like ants to the general's mansion," Nanny Gui replied with her head bowed. Suspect……"

"Forget it, hurry up tomorrow."

"Yes."

Nanny Gui settled the old lady, and just as she exited the house, she was dragged away with her mouth covered.

That night, the old lady, who used to drink the calming soup and feel dawn, suddenly woke up out of inexplicable panic and premonition.

The room was eerily quiet.The old lady sat up and opened her mouth to call her personal maid.

Suddenly there was a chuckle in the room, and a familiar voice came: "Emiang, are you awake?"
