He agreed with Wang Yongzhu that when he arrived in the capital, he would report his safety first, and when he entered the palace to see the imperial concubine and figure out the matter, he would send a letter back to let him know in his heart.

If there is any change, he should also prepare for it.

But after this reported peace, there were only a few words, or through the channel of the shadow guard.

Song Chongjin's first reaction was that the emperor made a move?

But immediately he reacted that something was wrong, and the shadow guard in Song Hong's hand probably didn't even know about the emperor.

can make the shadow guard vague, except for Song Hong, there is no one else.

That is, Wang Yongzhu went to the capital and did something that angered Song Hong?

What can anger Song Hong? You must know that in the past few years, Song Hong's attitude has gradually eased, especially when even the shadow guard has been handed over to him, which proves that Song Hong has now decided to pass on the Weiguo Mansion to him.

Especially after the water bandits and the horse farm**, Song Hong rarely said awkwardly in the letter that Song Chongjin didn't marry this daughter-in-law.

What's the matter, after going back this time, your attitude changed suddenly?

With Song Hong's personality, he praised Wang Yongzhu because he felt that he could help Song Chongjin and benefit the Song family.

Then on the contrary, Song Hong can block the news, but I am afraid that what Yongzhu has done after returning to Beijing will be unfavorable to the Song family, or very unfavorable, so that Song Hong will be like this!

can be very disadvantageous to the Song family-

Song Chongjin is like a mirror in his heart, but he is afraid that in the capital, the situation on the side of the imperial concubine is not very good.

Then Wang Yongzhu's situation is only afraid that it is even worse.

Song Hong turned his face, if he went through the news channel of the Song family, he would not be able to inquire about anything.

The only way left is the Gu family and Li Jiu Shao's side.

Song Chongjin knew in his heart that before that, he had to send the shadow guards away, otherwise he was afraid that they would pass on the news to Song Hong.

It just so happened that a few days ago, he got a message in his hand, and he was thinking about whether to go there in person, but now, it can be handed over to the shadow guard.

Having made up his mind, Song Chongjin left a message for the shadow guard.

In the evening, Ying Jiu quietly entered the study, and Song Chongjin was waiting for him.

When I saw him, I didn't talk nonsense, I only threw a letter and asked Ying Jiu to come and see it.

Ying Jiu took the letter, opened it and glanced at it, and was stunned for a moment, the news recorded in this letter can be regarded as extremely private.

It's about the Qi family back then, that is, the grandfather's family of the adults in front of him.

You must know that although it has been more than 20 years since the collapse of the Qi family, many people have forgotten it, but it is no stranger to Yingwei.

Because in the first six or seven years, they all had hidden piles that had been paying attention to the group of people exiled by the Qi family, and there was always news from the place of exile of the Qi family back to the capital.

However, only the sixteen leaders have been responsible for those news, and no one else has done so.

Of course, they've heard a little bit about it.

It wasn't until six or seven years ago that I heard that all the people exiled by the Qi family were dead, and there was no news from the dark pile.

Now that Ying Jiu sees the news about the Qi family again, he can't help but be shocked, and he doesn't know if he wants to continue watching.

But Song Chongjin, who was sitting above, didn't speak, so he had to bite the bullet and watch it slowly.

The more I look at it, the more frightened I become.

There is not much news about the Qi family recorded in this letter, and a lot of it should be some oral daily news that people heard.

For example, when the Qi family was exiled, there were a few people who could survive to the place, where they were arranged, and they did those hard work.

And then in which year all the Qi family died.

Two simple pieces of paper record the final destruction of a family.

Ying Jiu saw that the hairs on his back stood up.

After reading the letter, he gritted his teeth: "My lord, you let your subordinates read this letter, what are your orders?" Is it to find out the death of the family or not? ”

Song Chongjin didn't answer and asked: "Did Grandpa Guo also let you shadow guards check the news of the Qi family?" ”

Ying Jiu nodded with difficulty: "Grandpa Guo once left a secret stake in the guard, hinting at delivering the news of the Qi family to the capital, but this matter has always been the responsibility of the sixteen leaders, and the subordinates do not know. Until seven years ago, all the Qi family ...... The dark pile has never delivered the news again! ”

Song Chongjin nodded, his fingers rhythmically tapped on the table, and he didn't speak.

The air was suddenly quiet and terrible.

After a while, Ying Jiu closed his eyes and knelt down: "My lord, because my subordinates were sent here to deal with affairs a few years ago, I saw the dark pile once, and he confided in a message. After the Qi family was exiled to the guard, in addition to our mansion, he also found that there were two groups of people who had been secretly paying attention to the Qi family. ”

"Among them, one of them, if he is not mistaken, should be, it should be the royal -"

After saying this, Ying Jiu lowered his head, not daring to look at Song Chongjin's expression.

Song Chongjin was not surprised, when they moved Qi Huan's grave back then, didn't they happen to meet Governor Chen and Master Zhu who investigated Qi Huan's coffin and remains in two groups?

According to the inference of time, it should be that all the men of the Qi family died in the guard, and the things that the emperor was looking for or other things did not arrive, so he pinned his last hope on Qi Huan's corpse.

If nothing else, the emperor will find the little golden seal.

What exactly is this little gold seal? What kind of special meaning does it have that makes the emperor never give up?

If it weren't for Yongzhu's prudence and carefulness, he intercepted the golden seal, and he was afraid that the emperor would be able to get what he wanted here in Qi Huan, but unfortunately in the end he would have returned in vain.

Then there was the matter of letting him go out to Chicheng County, which was only a hundred miles away from the Qi family's exile to the guard, and it was the closest place.

The emperor wanted to let the last bit of blood of the Qi family try to see if he could find the golden seal.

The so-called horse farm time is just a cover-up.

Is the Golden Seal so important? Song Chongjin's heart was heavy.

Because he knew that the emperor had been staring at him, for the first few years, he resisted the impulse in his heart, and it seemed that he didn't know such a thing at all, even if he was only a hundred miles away, he had never been to the guard.

That is, since last year, he slowly gained a firm foothold, and only then did he begin to tentatively investigate the affairs of the Qi family.

After many years, the Qi family has long disappeared, and there are not many people who can hear about it.

Presumably, his inquiry must have reached the ears of the emperor.

Although he and Yongzhu both kept their hands behind, there was really something unexpected, the method of increasing production was handed over, and the emperor had to save face and save their family in order to be a Ming monarch.

But he didn't dare to take risks, and the more chips the better.

Now that he is investigating the Qi family, can he see Song Hong and the emperor's eyes cast from the capital to Chicheng, so that Yongzhu will have less pressure?

Song Chongjin, who was thousands of miles away and couldn't leave, knew that this action was inappropriate, but he couldn't care about it.

As long as he can make Yongzhu less stressed, there is nothing he can't do!

After settling down, Song Chongjin ordered: "From now on, except for the two people in the grassland and Ying Qi in the capital, the rest of the people will go to the guard to find out what happened to the Qi family and where they were buried after death?" Check them all out for me! ”

Although Ying Jiu didn't know why Song Chongjin only wanted to check today, as a shadow guard, he did this job, and he didn't put his beak all in it.

Therefore, he only nodded neatly: "The subordinates obey the order, and when they go back, they will take the rest of the people to the guard house together, but in terms of time-"

Song Chongjin naturally hoped that the longer the delay would be, the better, so he only said: "Check carefully, don't miss any news, time is not important!" ”

Ying Jiu comprehended, received his order, and went down.
