Chapter 740: Letters
"Yes, yes, I want to hear it too." Qin Miaoyin's eyes immediately lit up, lying on Ye Jinyu's shoulder, and said regretfully: "When we looked for Feng Lin, he refused to say anything, but judging by his reaction at that time, he must know Yuan Cheng, at least he knew him." And he was very nervous about Qi Qinqin, he must see Qi Qinqin first. ”
After she finished speaking, she and Ye Jinyu turned their gaze to Qi Guanyu again.
Being stared at by two pairs of eyes, Qi Guanyu was helpless, and could only satisfy their curiosity.
"Yuan Cheng's child is not Qi Qinqin's, it is said that his biological mother died of illness three years ago, but Qi Qinqin often takes care of him, and the relationship between the two is better than that ......of a mother and son."
Qi Qinqin was originally also from a wealthy background, but because of her family's downfall, her parents died early, and she was sold into the Guixiang Pavilion by her relatives when she was thirteen years old.
In a situation where there was no hope of life and no way to die, she struggled for several years, and finally every edge and corner of her body was smoothed out by reality.
Just when she was planning to die of old age in Guixiang Pavilion in this life, her brother, who had been separated from her for many years, suddenly appeared, and the process of the two sisters and brothers recognizing each other was quite tortuous.
During this period, she got acquainted with Yuan Cheng again, a man who could be good to her and give her sustenance. Although this man could not redeem her and his character was not very good, she still felt a sense of affection in him.
She is also very willing to take care of her son for him, she has been up and down in the Qinglou for so many years, her body has long been dead, and she has lost her fertility. At this time, God had given her a child, and she was very, very satisfied.
"Brother! Is it Feng Lin? Although Ye Jinyu asked so, she already had the answer in her heart.
Qi Guanyu said: "Well, Feng Lin was also sold to a rich and noble family as a slave by his relatives, and later he finally made a name for himself, Qi Qinqin was worried that his identity would cause him gossip and affect his future, so he has been hiding their true relationship." ”
"Even Yuan Cheng doesn't know?"
"Yes, for Feng Lin's sake, Yuan Cheng almost missed Qi Qinqin, and she didn't say anything."
Ye Jinyu suddenly thought of Yun Qianzhong and Yun Qing, she was very sure that if the same situation happened to them, Yun Qianzhong would rather lose everything and protect Yun Qing.
This is the blood kinship that is difficult for anything to surpass.
"I've kept you waiting." Li Song's voice came in from outside the door, and it didn't take long for people to walk up to them.
A few words of greeting, a few words of thanks, and a thank you gift, each of whom has a hidden weapon bag.
"This official has a reluctant request here, listen to it, it would be great if you were willing to help, if not, I won't be reluctant." After Li Song finished speaking, his gaze was fixed on Li Sui.
Li Sui nodded, "Lord Li, please speak." ”
"Some time ago, there was a flood in Shantao City, which broke the embankment, flooded the farmland, destroyed half of the city's houses, killed and injured a lot, and even displaced many people. The relief silver and relief food distributed from the capital were attacked by bandits when they passed through Ziwei City......"
The people who escorted the relief materials were all officers and soldiers, but the gang of bandits also came prepared, and they took advantage of the terrain to defeat the well-trained officers and soldiers in one go.
In the end, two-fifths of the materials were robbed by the bandits, and these bandits were in a very large position, and as a result, when they hid with so many materials, they were not ambiguous at all, and the official government of Ziwei City traced it for five days, almost turning over the inside and outside of the city, but they didn't find a trace.
The bandits disappeared as if they had never appeared.
The materials left behind have been sent to Shantao City, and the lost ones are still being searched, but now that the government of Ziwei City has encountered a bottleneck, they have asked for help from Fujiluo City.
Qin Miaoyin suddenly realized: "No wonder when Jing Gongzi and I went to Ziwei City, the atmosphere over there would be so tense, if it weren't for Master Li's edict and the waist card that was given to us later, we wouldn't even be able to enter the city gate." ”
"This official knows that this matter is difficult to handle, and that group of bandits is not simple, if a few of them agree, they will be worried about their lives when they are traced. So, you can think about it first. Li Song arched his hand and said.
If this kind of thing were put in reality, Ye Jinyu and Qin Miaoyin should not consider it, after all, they are just a girl raised in the Hou Mansion with no name, no point and no rights. If you have the heart to manage it, you can't manage it.
Qi Guanyu would agree without thinking about it, as a person in the public family, these are things that are within his bounds. And Jing Xingzhi, he doesn't care.
As for Li Sui, in order to maintain his image as a gentleman outside, he will definitely not agree, but no one knows whether he will care in private.
The five people looked at each other, but this is not reality, they are here for the task, they don't have to think about it so much, just take it.
In the end, Li Sui arched his hand and said, "We promise." ”
Li Song didn't expect them to respond so quickly, and saluted them in surprise and admiration, "You are really young heroes, chivalrous people, this official will send someone to send you to Ziwei City." ”
Li Song's movements were very fast, and there was a teleportation array between Tengluo City and Ziwei City, and they passed through the teleportation array in the carriage prepared by Li Song. The official who was in charge of sending them was very responsible to send them to the Yamen of Ziwei City, and explained the situation to Master Shang, who was in charge of chasing down the bandits, before he left and left.
Lord Shang looks like Li Song, he is a young and promising type. The difference is in appearance, Li Songsheng is resolute and handsome, but Shang Ming is elegant and handsome, at first glance he looks more like a white-faced scholar, and there is not much deterrent power on his body.
"This official is going to take someone to re-investigate the location of the incident now, and you will follow me to take a look." Shang Ming saw that he was a scholar, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that he didn't have so much red tape, and he didn't ask for other people's opinions. 2018
Ye Jinyu and the others were a little surprised, but they didn't think much about it, and went out.
The place of the crime is on a mountain road thirty miles outside Ziwei City, and it is said that it is a mountain road, but in fact, the mountain range here is low, and it is a small mountain bag that a child can climb.
But this is the only way to leave the boundary of Ziwei City, with low mountains on both sides, leaving a flat road two zhang wide in the middle.
Because the bandit had just happened, and the mess on the road had not yet been cleaned up, when they arrived, they saw such a picture - there were large and small stones piled up on both sides of the road, the color was bloodstained but not bright red, and there were many broken arrows mixed in it.
As Li Song said, the bandits took advantage of the terrain here.
"This gang of bandits is out of nowhere, just like a group of people who appeared out of thin air, robbed the materials and disappeared out of thin air, which is really bizarre." Shang Ming looked around, came back and sighed bitterly and indignantly.
"I wonder how many clues have been found from adults?" Qi Guanyu asked.
Shang Ming looked at them and said, "We suspect that the bandits have escaped from Ziwei City, but they have robbed eight truckloads of supplies, which is not a small amount. We have informed all the surrounding towns, and all places have been very strict in the investigation, but still nothing has been found. Now I think that maybe they didn't leave here, but they were just the target of eight truckloads of supplies, how did they hide? ”
"I wonder what the adults need me to do?" Qi Guanyu asked again.
Shang Ming thought for a moment and said, "Now that we are almost turned over inside and outside the city, we can't search for it with great fanfare." You are not in the public business, and you can just hide people's eyes and ears, and this official wants to ask you to investigate secretly. ”
This is the first time that the NPC has not given a clear direction for the mission. The five of them looked at each other a few times, whether they had prompts or not, it didn't have much impact on them, and they quickly responded.
Shang Ming thanked them.
Every time the dream will be broken at the critical point, it is already a common thing, Ye Jinyu sat on the bed and slowed down for a while before forgetting about these first.
On the other side, Qi Guanyu re-investigated the people in the workshop through the hints in the dream, and finally showed results, and everything about the murderer coincided with the murderer in the dream.
It's just that while catching the real culprit, they also found some very old correspondence in the private house of the deceased Yuan Cheng, the earliest should be four or five years ago, and the latest letter is presumed to be half a year ago from the content.
Qi Guanyu looked at the name on the letter, a small bag gradually bulged at the center of his eyebrows, and he was silent for a long time, then put all the letters into a wooden box and took them to the Wu'an Hou Mansion.
"Master Hou, the lower official wants to meet Zhou Si." In the study, Qi Guanyu pushed the wooden box in front of Li Sui and said.
Li Sui opened the wooden box casually and picked out two letters to read, this is a letter written by Yuan Cheng to Zhou Si, it can be seen from between the lines that they are not friends, but a relationship of cooperation with each other. In other words, Zhou Si is attached to Yuan Cheng to beg for a living.
"Skylark, go and ask Zhou Si to come over." Li Sui raised his voice and gave an order to the people outside.
"Qi joined the army, Zhou Si's condition is very complicated, he has not fully recovered his memory yet, the testimony he provided is not necessarily right, you have to think twice." Li Sui turned to Qi Guan again to remind.
"Xia Guan understands, thank you for mentioning it."
Ye Jinyu had just come out of Fuyuan, and was about to go to Yun Qianzhong to talk to Qin Miaoyin for a while, when he caught a glimpse of the lark taking Zhou Si to the next door, and couldn't help but lift his spirits.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned to Shen Pavilion instead.
The guard at the door did not stop her, and she swaggered out to the outside of the study, and the lark just sent the person in and walked out of it.
The two of them looked at each other, the lark was stunned, and soon turned around and went in to report, and after a while, he came out to invite Ye Jinyu in.
"Cousin?" Ye Jinyu looked at Qi Guanyu and Zhou Si in surprise, and after a while, he shouted again: "Uncle Zhou." ”
Li Sui beckoned them to sit down at the round table, put the wooden box in the middle, looked at Zhou Si and said, "Look at it, do you still recognize the contents inside?" ”
Zhou Si glanced at Ye Jinyu first, then hesitantly stretched out his hand and slowly pulled through the wooden box, opened it, and it was full of letters, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Ye Jinyu saw him thinking hard, so he stretched out his head to look, and his face was full of doubts.
"Hou, cousin, what's going on with these letters?" Ye Jinyu's head turned quickly, and then settled on Qi Guanyu's side.
At the same time, Zhou Si had already opened the letter, a tremor flashed in his eyes, but he seemed to have found something unbelievable, and excitedly opened all the letters to read.
Qi Guanyu's gaze moved away from him, looked at Ye Jinyu and explained the origin of the letter.
Ye Jinyu has always suspected that the person who instructed Zhou Si was from the government, like several important officials in Yingcheng, even including her uncle, she had doubted it.
But now that this matter is suddenly related to Yuan Cheng, her feeling is not suddenly bright, it came too suddenly, and it is so coincidental that people have to be suspicious in their hearts.
"Hmm......" Zhou Si's head began to hurt again, and those black and white words jumped in his mind with malice like life. It was both familiar and strange, and he thought he must have experienced the things on the letter, but he couldn't remember the details, not even the appearance of the other person.
Did he not remember, or did the letters disturb his memory?
