Chapter Twenty-Eight: No Wind and No Waves
After a few days, the news finally reached Shuofang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The remnants of the former disaster victims, who are now taking care of the dowry shop for the crown princess in the county capital, Qi Sheng, the head of Zhuangzi, knelt straight outside the courtyard of Mrs. Qi to appease the envoy.
The unobstructed scorching sun in Saibei shone directly on Qi Sheng's body, and the poisonous light burned Qi Sheng's face red, his thin lips dried and peeled, but his face was sweating like washing, licking the corners of his lower lip, Qi Sheng squinted at the poisonous sun, the young man's body shook slightly, and he hurriedly knelt on the hot ground with his hands.
It was he who mistook the news.
"Madam, let Qi Sheng enter the house first, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to punish him, and listen to him tell me in detail about Cai Cai's recent situation."
Qi Long patted Mrs. Qi's back and calmed Mrs. Qi's breath.
At this time, Mrs. Qi's eyes were red, she covered her mouth, and tears fell.
"Let him in. I also know that Qi Sheng can't be blamed for this, but Cai Cai has suffered such a big humiliation, how much money she has to endure in the county capital alone, if the news can arrive a few days earlier, the husband can still write to ask the saint to take back his fate, right? ”
Mrs. Qi cried again when she mentioned Cai Cai.
Qi Long was worried, but he was also a little annoyed that the saint suddenly gave a side concubine, and that's it, although it is normal for the prince to take a concubine, why did he want the Jiang family's concubine and his baby daughter to marry on the same day? Getting married is a lifelong event, isn't this an insult to the Qi family?
Yes, if the news of Concubine Lifang can be transmitted back in time, he Qi Long will definitely write a letter to ask the Holy Lord to take back his fate, but if the Holy Lord does not allow it, how much courage does he have to dare to stop this matter again and again? He can not care about the official position, but he can't give up the northern border that his ancestors have guarded for generations.
Touching his wife's bun, Qi Long felt a little guilty.
Not long after, Qi Sheng, who was faint from the sun, was carried into the house by Tong Zhi, Qi Sheng knelt down straight without saying a word, his head hit the ground and the skin was broken in an instant and he saw blood, Qi Sheng was still young, and at this time he also cried and pleaded guilty:
"The villain is ashamed of the trust of the old lady and failed to send the girl's news back in time, and the villain asks for family law."
Qi Sheng has also been in Qi Mansion for four years, and has been working under Tong Zhi, and he can be regarded as Qi Long grew up, at this time Qi Sheng described Xiao Suo to Qi Long sighed, "Cai Cai Na still wants you to go back to take care of it as soon as possible, and postpone the punishment." Let's talk about why it was delayed. ”
Tong Zhizao, the chief manager on the side, felt sorry for Qi Sheng, and when he saw the old man's eyes, he immediately stepped forward to help Qi Sheng aside.
"The villain is useless, that day I learned that the saint gave the side concubine, immediately released the flying pigeon to send the message back, I don't want to have a subordinate to report that the flying pigeon was intercepted and killed the next day, the villain later sent three people back to Shuo Fang one after another, there is no news, I am afraid that someone was killed on the way. Early in the morning of the third day, the villain personally sent a letter, first passing by the city gates to check in many ways, and then there were frequent accidents along the road, delaying the trip. ”
Qi Sheng looked at the old man who was frowning and listening, gritted his teeth and continued:
"The villain suspects that someone is deliberately obstructing, and recently asked the master to pay more attention to his side."
Qi Sheng has always been silent, but he didn't think that he was an amazing boy. But this is really inappropriate, Qi Sheng was ruined by the Yuxian County Order, but in the final analysis, it was Ji and Xia in the old man's yamen who were sentenced to the trust of the lord but did not do personnel, since then the lord cleaned and appeased the envoy's office, and sentenced all those bastards, and now Sheng'er said that Shuo Fang has internal ghosts, doesn't it point to Shi Xiaolangjun? The lord has handed over all the affairs of appeasing the envoy to Shi Xiaolangjun to deal with, not to mention that the Qi Mansion has the grace of nurturing Shi Xiaolangjun, and then look at the people's ability to be literate and martial, resourceful The old lady originally intended to be a son-in-law, and now that the girl is married to the royal family, the old lady feels even more ashamed of Shi Xiaolangjun, and treats him like her own son, how can she doubt him, after all, Shi Xiaolangjun is not something that Sheng'er can blame as a domestic servant.
Tong Zhi was worried that Qi Sheng's words would displease the master, so he bowed first:
"Master, Qi Sheng is young and speaks without measure, so the villain will take him down to train him." As he spoke, he slapped Qi Sheng on the head, and he was afraid that he would really make a good move, and his attack seemed to be fast and heavy, but it was indeed light and powerless when it fell on Qi Sheng.
Qi Long laughed: "Tong Zhi, you feel sorry for Qi Sheng's child, and you slandered Lao Tzu, is Lao Tzu such a bastard who punishes people indiscriminately?" Give me a pretense, you will know your ...... when you pout Lao Tzu"
The last few foul words were held back under Mrs. Qi's smiling gaze, Qi Long leaned towards Mrs. Qi's side, and said slowly:
"Qi Sheng, why do you have such a statement?" Stretched out his hand to stop Tong Zhi, who wanted to speak and stopped, and continued: "You can know that everything is endless, and you will not blame it." ”
The last sentence was for Qi Sheng, and it was also to reassure Tong Zhi.
Qi Sheng didn't care whether he was punished or not, he must say this, it's good to give the old man a reminder, the girl is kind to his family, even if she is broken:
"The villain just said that there were frequent accidents on the way to Shuofang, and every time there was a feeling of surveillance, I didn't care much at first, until the person exposed his feet outside Shuofang City, the villain pretended not to know, and waited for the other party to relax his vigilance and follow the past, this person seemed to be aware of it, and he was cunning and even opened the distance, but the villain chased her for a day and night, and chased to Jincheng but suddenly broke off the trace, and the villain suspected that someone in Jincheng answered."
"Oh? Although your light skills are not as good as Caicai, they are not bad, what kind of person can't get close? "It's really a strange thing, Qi Long thought to himself, isn't it that the people of the rivers and lakes are also involved in this matter?
"The top priority should be to tell what this person looks like, so that he is wanted in the whole city?" Mrs. Qi made a timely suggestion, looking at Qi Long and waiting for his permission.
"Whoa." Qi Sheng bowed and said: "I'm ashamed, this person is a woman, and he doesn't have much kung fu, he just sets traps everywhere, some of them are commonly used by farmers for hunting, but most of them are ingenious that villains have never heard of and never seen, and villains can't avoid it and inevitably fall into a few tricks, and they have opened up a lot of distance." Although he is wearing a veil, even if the next time this person changes his outfit, the villain can be recognized at a glance when he meets the villain. Please forgive the villain's rough writing, I really don't know how to describe its appearance, probably even in the vast sea of people can be seen at a glance, very outstanding......"
Qi Long and Mrs. Qi couldn't help but laugh at such a serious moment, "Qi Sheng, good boy, didn't you fall in love with this girl?" ”
Qi Long laughed heartily, and Mrs. Qi also covered her handkerchief and smiled, but swept away the gloomy mood since she learned the news of Cai Cai.
Tong Zhi saw that the old lady was amusing about this, and also dispelled the original worries, after all, Qi Sheng has his own Qi Sheng's days, this child is still young, and his thoughts about liking women are just passing by.
This made Qi Sheng blush, after such a break, everyone forgot the point at the beginning, but in the final analysis, it was also because everyone didn't think that Jincheng would have any omissions under Shi Xizai's care, and Shi Xizai no one doubted that he would betray Qi Mansion. So this time, Qi Long only wanted someone in the county capital to prevent him Qi Long from hindering the Jiang family's daughter from becoming a side concubine, as for whether it was Jiang Taifu, the prince or someone else, Qi Long could not confront each other if he had a guess, and for this mysterious woman who appeared in Shuofang, everyone should have heard a story - the story of Qi Shengchu's love.
As everyone knows, the neglect of this incident has buried a great hidden danger for Shuo Fang.
On the night when Qi Sheng rested in Qi Mansion to recuperate, the woman was returning to the county capital day and night.
