Chapter 521 Lost Tokens
"Tokens?" Gu Chen frowned.
The guard said: "Yes, the token, the token of the criminal department Shangshu." ”
Qin Niang opened her mouth in surprise: "Isn't the position of the secretary of the Criminal Department currently vacant?" Where did the token come from? ”
Gu Chen knew that she had been in the house to raise a baby recently, and she basically didn't know much about the current change in her position in the court, so she patiently explained to her: "Although the position of the secretary of the criminal department is vacant, the current criminal department is represented by Zuo Shilang, so this token should also be kept by him." ”
Qin Niang's delicate eyebrows were twisted: "Then, this token is just one piece, right?" Did you lose it or did you give it all to someone else? ”
She had never heard of this name before, and she didn't know where it came from.
"At this time, I was promoted by thousands of selections with His Royal Highness, he is a practical person, he has been an obscure petty official in the Criminal Department for so many years, but he was admitted to the first place in the palace examination back then, and we have all read his articles, he is a talent with great ambitions, but this temper is a bit hard, and he is not very good at slapping horses, so he has been in such an inconspicuous position for so many years."
It's unlikely that a person like this will easily give someone else the token they have in their custody.
"If he didn't give it, then it was miskept and lost? I haven't heard anyone report it. Qin Niang said puzzledly, "It stands to reason that losing the token is a big deal, even if he doesn't tell you about this kind of thing, he has to report it to the authorities." ”
It is impossible not to report the loss of such an important token, unless this person has a ghost in his heart.
"On this point, his subordinates also went to Shi Lang's mansion to ask, and he said that the thief had gone to great lengths to steal his token, and he must have gone to the prison to see an important prisoner, so he didn't say anything, just to see who would go to the prison with that token next, and see whom, sure enough, the next day he heard the jailer say that there was a very small man who went to the prison, and he knew that something would happen next, but he didn't expect such a big thing to happen."
In Shi Quan's expectation, he thought that at most, someone would go to the prison to rob the prisoner, so he also spread people around the prison, just waiting for someone to come and rob the prisoner, and he caught them all.
Unexpectedly, the prisoners did not come, but a large number of rebels came.
Shi Quan was so shocked that he was restless, but he didn't know who to discuss this matter with, he had been an official for so many years, and he had never been good at interacting with people, let alone making any reliable colleagues, so he could only wait and see what happened.
"Wasn't he promoted by you and the Third Highness? Why didn't he know to consult with you? Qin Niang looked at Gu Chen and said speechlessly, after a long time, I promoted people, this person has not yet had the consciousness to stand in line, it is really old-fashioned.
"He is not hard at all, but he has a hard temper, although the Third Highness promoted him, but he doesn't think that he has to climb this big tree because of this, so he is used to solving problems by himself, if I didn't send someone to ask today, he wouldn't say it." Gu Chen said, "This person is old-fashioned and upright, otherwise, he would not have made a small document for the criminal department for so many years." ”
And for such a person who prides himself on being talented and capable, he doesn't think that being promoted to this position is someone deliberately trying to win him over, on the contrary, he feels that he came up by ability, so although he will be grateful to Song Yu for his kindness, he will not cling too much, so as not to fall into the stone.
"Alright, you can go down." Gu Chen waved his hand and sent the guards away.
Qin Niang blinked, looked at him and said: "Someone went to great lengths to steal the token of the Ministry of Punishment, just to be able to go in and meet Song Xi, obviously, this person should have reached some kind of deal with Song Xi, so Song Xi handed over his own power to the other party, and then, I guess, Song Xi should not die." ”
Now, with Song Xi's situation, the result is nothing more than a dead word.
When a person dies, there is no need to talk about anything.
Being able to live is Song Xi's most urgent wish.
Therefore, in order to be able to pick up a life, at this time, if Song Xi wants to exchange anything, he will change it.
"My lady is so smart." Gu Chen hugged her waist, imprinted a mouthful on her lips, and said, "So, next, guess whether Song Xi can finally pick up his dog's life?" ”
The corners of Qin Niang's mouth twitched, and she said: "The other party has done all this, it can be seen that he hates our Yang family very much, and wants to deduct basins on the Yang family's head in every possible way, maybe it is an enemy that our Yang family has offended recently, but this does not mean that the other party will really let Song Xi live, and now the power in Song Xi's hands has been deceived, if Song Xi does not leave a way back for himself, then even if His Majesty does not kill him, he will not survive." ”
She knew in her heart these thoughts of the wicked, and what could be more reassuring than the dead?
Although she didn't know if this hidden other hand was in the same group as Song Xi, she knew that one mountain could not accommodate two tigers, and an ambitious person like Song Xi would make a comeback in the future if he left him alive.
"Since they're going to eat dogs, let them bite them." Gu Chen didn't care how they fought, anyway, so far, whether it was Song Xi or Song Huai, they had not succeeded, "By the way, there is one more thing, the kid who picked up on the road before wants to enter the barracks." ”
Gu Chen suddenly remembered such a thing, and changed the topic.
Qin Niang raised her eyebrows: "Are you ready?" ”
Gu Chen shook his head, for some reason, for what the jailer of the Criminal Department said, a smaller figure went to see Song Xi in the prison, and he subconsciously connected that figure with the child he picked up on the road.
Although a child who looks no more than ten years old would not make such a big move, he has to deny that this child is indeed too suspicious.
He said that his home was in the village next to Liujiazhuang, but the people sent there did not see anyone in that village, and the home he was talking about was now just an empty house, an empty house that no one had lived in not long ago.
He always felt that it was an ulterior motive for this child to suddenly rush out and meet them.
Moreover, he is now asking to go to the barracks, how can he agree?
"I told him he was too young for that kind of intense training, and besides, his relatives were gone, and he should do everything he could to find them." Gu Chen tugged at the corners of his lips and showed a whistle smile, "A child who has been separated from his family is not afraid or panicked at all, and he doesn't show any intention of looking for them, you say, is this normal?" ”
After he said this, Qin Niang also felt that the chance of this child appearing was too much of a coincidence.
However, no matter what the other party's purpose is, just take a look at it.
"The kid looked disappointed, saying that he was so old, and he was still staying with those old people and children who had no ability to survive and eating idle meals, and he felt very guilty, and he wanted to find something to do, and he didn't want to eat rice, so I sent him to Gu Qing as a helper." Gu Chen said nonchalantly.
Qin Niang nodded, presumably Gu Qing was watching, and even the half-grown child couldn't turn over a few waves.
More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the court has once again purged, and those official positions that had colluded with Song Xi before have been removed from the court one by one, and the border pass has also sent back good news, about the batch of improved firearms has been delivered, and it has played a big role in a timely manner, recovering two cities in a row.
As soon as the emperor was happy, he immediately ordered the three armies to be rewarded, and ordered the generals to pay the salaries to the homes of the soldiers.
The jailer received the order from above, and deliberately told the news to Song Xi in prison, Song Xi was particularly shocked, he didn't expect that the firearms he robbed the Seven Princes before were not real improvements, and he thought that they were good goods to be shipped to the border gates, so he also used them to fight a battle to force the palace, but they were defeated.
Only then did he know that there were originally three teams sent to the Song Dynasty Firearms, and Cheng Anhou and the Seven Princes were just smokescreens, and they did not fall in love after being robbed, but quickly returned to Beijing.
At that time, he thought that the emperor was just partial to these two people, but he didn't think deeply that the real best firearms had been secretly transported to the border by a third person.
It turned out that he was just a fool from beginning to end, and he was played around.
Thinking of this, Song Xi was not calm, he climbed the iron gate and shouted loudly again to see the emperor, however, no one paid attention to him at all.
These days, Gu Chen is trying his best to find someone who can take his place, as Qin Niang's belly grows bigger day by day, Gu Chen is more and more like a wife slave, he is tired of being in Qinyuan all day long, and he doesn't go to the yamen.
"My eldest brother has no news yet, it's been a month, and my sister-in-law hasn't been giving birth for a few months, I'm really worried that when she is born, what will happen if my eldest brother has no news?" Qin Niang stroked her already bulging belly with a worried face and said.
She knows Yang Hong very well, if he is really safe, he should send a letter back and report that he is safe, after all, there is still a pregnant person in the family, and it is not good if he is worried about affecting the fetus too much.
"No, Your Majesty asked people to inquire about Song Xi's situation in prison today, it seems that he is going to be determined to deal with this person, as long as Song Xi's matter is judged, then the rest of the matter can continue." He had a hunch that Yang Hong would come back soon, "Moreover, Mu Zhinian is also the daughter of Jiangmen, she won't be unable to bear this matter, you don't have to worry about others, just take care of yourself." ”
The two of them were tired of getting tired, and the guards suddenly came to report: "Young master, there was news from the Criminal Department just now, saying that Song Xi was crazy." ”
