Chapter 048: Is He Dead?
She didn't expect that what Shen Chongxin and his wife saved was actually Emperor Qin Ling's personal guard!
The palace guards of the previous dynasty were all lifelong loyal to the royal family, and they all had loyalty to their masters engraved in their bones!
Even if such a person will not have any impact on the new court, it is only reassuring to kill him, so it is no wonder that the Great Zhou court will issue an edict of death after knowing about it!
…… No wonder Shen Xin scolded Aunt Pei for being the lackey of the Helian people, and her sentence was not only aimed at Aunt Pei, but 'scolded the entire second room, and regarded Shen Chongxin and his wife as people who worked hard for the Great Qin Imperial Court.

"Didn't Emperor Qin Ling have already been escorted south by the courtiers led by the Zhang family, and why did his guards still appear on the outskirts of Beijing?" she couldn't help asking.
"It is said that it was the group of people who stayed behind in the first place. Before he had time to withdraw from Hebei, the news of Emperor Ling's death came. Later, he hid in the area of Jingshi. ”
Aunt Pei sighed.
Shen Xi frowned and muttered, "I can't even remember any of this." ”
"The lady never told the girl, and she didn't know. Aunt Pei said, "The girl is innocent and simple, and Mrs. doesn't want the girl to hide too many secrets, so she didn't have time to talk about many things." ”
The original owner's previous temperament clearly couldn't hide her words, even if she didn't say it herself, it was easy for others to try to trick her.
Hu didn't tell her, where was he disliking her, he was obviously protecting her, and when a person couldn't control the secret in his heart, then there was a chance that he would be harmed by this secret.
So it will be kept in the dark, and it makes sense.
Shen Xi understood that Aunt Pei was taking care of her face, so she nodded and accepted her love. Then he said: "Then presumably, this guard must have been caught and killed later." ”
"Not really. ”
She only thought that this person had no possibility of escaping, but Aunt Pei looked at her with blazing eyes and said, "He was infected with typhoid fever and fell ill."
The old man hid him in a secret place, and at that time he had already taken the medicine and subsided the cold and heat, in addition to the entanglement, the wife also asked the old man to bring him a large pot of boiled soup and dry food. At that time, death was certainly impossible.
Later, until the old lady was killed, the criminal department did not have any news about this person.
"The girl knows, our old lady is the second-in-command of the Criminal Department, even if the arrest of Helian is the full-time job of Lingyun Pavilion, it is impossible for the Criminal Department to not be able to receive the slightest wind.
"What's more, Lingyun Pavilion doesn't have a yamen, only an East Prison, and the roster of arrested people is still in the hands of the Third Division. ”
Shen Xi was slightly stunned: "So, he's still alive?"
Aunt Pei turned her face away and didn't speak.
Shen Xi saw that she was evading, so he said again: "Where is he?"
Aunt Pei was helpless, looked out the window and said in a daze: "The night when the master returned to the city, he was hidden in the southern suburbs.
"At that time, we still had a small village in Qingshi Town in the southern suburbs, and the master said that he was going to collect the accounts, but in fact he was placed there.
"He should be there until we go to Xing'ergou. But then all our property was gone, and no one knew his whereabouts.
"Xing'ergou is not far from Qingshi Town, and then I went to the town to buy, and saw that the Zhuangzi had already become someone else's, and we were originally in the town's house, and there were other lanterns hanging on the courtyard.
"But he has martial arts, and he doesn't think it's so easy to die. ”
After speaking, she looked back at Shen Xi.
Shen Xi is not as optimistic as her.
After all, there is no place for him in the whole world.
Even if he is not a pure Helian person, even if he is already a guard, who made him a person in the palace of Emperor Qin Ling?
There are not many people in the world like Shen Chongxin and his wife, and most of them are not punished.
However, until they went to Xing'ergou, the person was still in Qingshi Town, even if he was not in the Shen family's house, but only lived in the town, Aunt Pei and the others were not afraid that if the government found out and caused trouble again?
Aunt Pei seemed to see her doubts, so she continued: "At that time, the famous courtiers in the Great Qin Dynasty had seen it, and except for those who could recognize it, there were no portraits of other unimportant people, and after more than ten years, few people could identify them.
"Who would remember what a guard looked like? Not to mention that they didn't even know the name of the guard at the time, and someone reported it to the court. ”
"Who reported it?"
"Where do you know?" Aunt Pei wiped her eyes, "If a person does something bad, he won't jump out by himself." ”
Shen Xi also guessed that they didn't know, otherwise they would have been talking about it a long time ago.
But she straightened her crooked body anyway.
At least what she said before was not bad, there were so many guards in the palace, even if it was a close attendant by Emperor Qin Ling's side, I am afraid that she was not qualified to be regarded as a thorn in the side of Emperor Tuoba.
I think it's because I'm just a guard that after the incident of Shen Chongxin and his wife was exposed, he didn't harm his father, brother and children.
And it has been twelve years since the Great Qin Dynasty died, and twelve years of wind and frost are enough to change a person's appearance.
Besides, it's unlikely that anyone will remember what a guard looks like, so it's very unlikely that someone will be watching and hunting him down.
In this way, there is still half a chance that this person will live!
At this moment, for this guard he had never met, Shen Xi couldn't let go.
If she can find this person......
There is a need for someone who knows martial arts next to her, and this candidate is extremely difficult to choose, and it is not possible to meet the conditions by finding a nursing home.
Not only did he need a strong martial arts, but he also had the loyalty that he wouldn't betray her even if he knew the truth that she was a Helian......
This Great Qin's guard is really suitable to say.
She pondered here for a long time, and asked Aunt Pei, "What's his name?"
"It's called Qi Jiu. Aunt Pei said, and dragged the needlework basket with her hand, picked up a plain silk handkerchief and embroidered it.
Qi Jiu. It's like the name of a guard.
Shen Xi secretly wondered.
"How many people know about this?"
Aunt Pei took her eyes off the sewing basket and said, "Everyone knows the cause of the old lady's death. It's just that the identity of this Helian people has anything to do with them, but only you know. ”
Shen Xi nodded.
Hu Shi told Aunt Pei this passage before he died, thinking that she would also pass it on to herself in the future.
However, she was a little curious about Hu Shi's trust in her so much: "The relationship between you and my mother is a little unexpected. ”
Aunt Pei's subordinates paused slightly, raised their heads and looked at her in a daze.
Shen Xi also looked over and saw that she didn't even have a decent hairpin ornament on her head, and suddenly thought of the Zhuangzi house in Qingshi Town that she had said earlier.
Pearl once said that when Shen Chongxin and his wife were there, the scenery of the second room was abundant.
In the case of not separating the family, even if there is no Wanguan family property, at least based on the dowry of the Hu family and Shen Chongxin's official position at that time, at least it will not be bad.
And Aunt Pei said that they all have a small Zhuangzi mansion in the southern suburbs, so what about these family properties?
