Yang Qiuchi entrusted Niu Qianhu (that is, the original Niu Baihu Niu Dahai) and Ma Du to issue a national sea fishing document, and organized Jinyiwei to search for Song Qing across the country.

The envoy has an order, who dares not to obey? Niu Qianhu and Ma Du asked Yang Qiuchi to rest assured, and they immediately arranged for portraits, issued national sea fishing documents, and looked for the mud doll Song Qing.

His two concubines were lost one after another, and they were robbed by the same person, although he asked Jinyiwei to look for them, but Yang Qiuchi knew that since Jinyiwei couldn't even find Qin Zhihui, this mud doll might be difficult to find.

The mud doll Song Qing was gone, how could Yang Qiuchi still have the heart to stay in the capital, and asked Ma Du to tell them Gu Fuyin and Jia Hanlin that they couldn't participate in the Luming Banquet, and then rushed back to Ningguo Mansion with Song Yun'er and the entourage guards.

When Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue saw Yang Qiuchi coming back, they were relieved and told what had happened, which was similar to what Xia Ping said. Song Qing's mother and Song Tongzhi also rushed to hear the news, especially Song Qing's mother, who was about to go crazy.

Yang Qiuchi went to the mud doll's room to check it, and asked Song Yuner to go up to the roof with him, like last time, sure enough, he found that the roof tiles had reactionary traces, and found shoe prints and handprints, and after taking back the room and comparing the fingerprints and shoe prints with the last time, he found that although the shoe prints were a little different, the human characteristics reflected in the shoe prints were consistent, and the fingerprints were completely consistent. It shows that it was the same person who robbed his two concubines.

After Yang Qiuchi told Yang's mother, Feng Xiaoxue and Song Qing's mother, and Song Tongzhi about the observed results and speculations, the four of them were also very puzzled, and they couldn't understand the reason why this martial arts female senior had robbed Yang Qiuchi's two concubines, Qin Zhihui and Song Qing, one after another.

Song Qing's mother knew that it was a martial arts female senior who robbed her daughter, and after listening to Yang Qiuchi's analysis, she also felt that it was very reasonable, and after knowing that her daughter's life would not be in danger, she felt a little relieved.

Yang Qiuchi called Nangong Xiong, Xia Ping, and the other two female guards to analyze who might have robbed Qin Zhihui and Song Qing.

Yang Qiuchi judged that this person's martial arts were so high, he should be very famous in the rivers and lakes. Xia Ping and the other two female guards said that at that time, the female thief was covered with her face and it was dark night, so they could only see her height and hear her voice, but from these two items alone, it was impossible to tell who she was.

Xia Ping and Nangong Xiong investigated the current martial arts masters one by one, and they both felt that none of them had the right number of martial arts paths, and none of them had martial arts skills comparable to this female thief.

Yang Qiuchi didn't know anything about martial arts, and he didn't know anything about the martial arts masters in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and after listening to their analysis, he only came to one conclusion: among today's female martial arts masters, none of them are in line with this female thief, and what is even more headache is that this female thief's martial arts are obviously much stronger than those so-called female martial arts masters.

In this way, this is a lonely master, who rarely or even does not show up in the rivers and lakes.

Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly, he was able to attract the attention of today's No. 1 female master, and he could be regarded as having a lot of face. It's just that he doesn't want this face at all, he just wants his two concubines back, and he can give as much as he wants.

Last time, in order to find Qin Zhihui, Jinyiwei had been used to carry out nationwide sea fishing, but now a few months have passed, and there is no news. Now that Song Qing has been robbed again, although this female thief has left fingerprint footprints, but in the Ming Dynasty, there is no fingerprint database, is it possible that the whole country is comparing the past one by one? Unless a suspect is found, the fingerprint is of no use at all.

Yang Qiuchi was very depressed, but there was no way at all, only to stay at home and hope that good news could come from Jinyiwei.

The concubine is gone, but the son still has to live.

After Yang Mu and the others knew that Yang Qiuchi High School was raised, they were still very happy, because the concubine Song Qing was lost, of course, this celebration was exempted.

Song Tongzhi (formerly Song Zhixian) was very happy and surprised when he learned that Yang Qiuchi High School was raised. However, Yang Qiuchi has brought too many accidents, and he doesn't care about this one.

Song Tongzhi and others asked Yang Qiuchi to continue to participate in the conference examination and the palace examination, strive for the title of the gold list, and glorify the ancestors. Yang Qiuchi said that he had signed up for the big selection of officials, hoping that there would be vacancies so that he could become officials. This surprised Song Tongzhi and the others.

In the Ming Dynasty, people could be officials, but it was more difficult than Jinshi to become officials. Song Tongzhi was a little worried about whether Yang Qiuchi could pick this big pick, and even if he did, picking a bitter one would be enough for a headache. But no matter what, it's always good to have an official.

Yang Qiuchi told Song Tongzhi that last time he made a bet with Song Yuner, Yang Qiuchi won, and this bet was to let Song Yuner be his personal bodyguard and go to the official with him.

Yang Qiuchi was very worried that Song Tongzhi would not agree, but unexpectedly, Song Tongzhi agreed very happily, and seemed to be very happy. Yang Qiuchi was excited, but he couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in this old fox gourd.

Since Song Tongzhi agreed, Song Yun'er's mother Han family is of course not easy to refuse, besides, although the Han family is reluctant to have a daughter, they also know that Yang Qiuchi has an important surname for their Song family.

In a blink of an eye, on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, that is, the day when the Stove God Bodhisattva said good things to heaven, the appointment of the officials came down. Yang Qiuchi was appointed as the magistrate of Qingxi County, Yuanzhou, Huguang Town, and the seventh grade.

Yang Qiuchi looked at the appointment, and felt slightly melancholy, Bai Sumei was in Yunnan, but he was an official in Huguang, and he was not together, how could he take care of them.

The appointment of Yang Qiuchi's ministry was issued through the prefect, so Song Tongzhi already knew the content of the appointment, and took Song Yun'er to Yang's mansion to congratulate.

Yang Qiuchi served as the official of Huguang Town Yuanzhou is now the mountainous area of Guizhou Province, Guizhou is Yongle 11 years (1413) before the establishment of the province, before this, Guizhou territory is divided into Yunnan, Sichuan and Huguang, among them, Zhenyuan Prefecture belongs to Huguang.

Song Tong has known officialdom for many years, and knows that Yang Qiuchi's big pick this time is really a bitter shortage. This town Yuanzhou was a poor and remote land in the Ming Dynasty, the mountains were high and deep, the people were fierce, Qingxi County was a subordinate county under Zhenyuanzhou, so it was even more bitter.

Song Tongzhi told Yang Qiuchi that he was sent to such a place as an official, not only did he not have much oil and water, but it might affect his future career. Let Yang Qiuchi spend some money to find the ministry again and change the official vacancy.

Yang Qiuchi knew that this was all determined according to the needs of the inspection of Jianwen Yu's party, and it was impossible to change it for himself. This place is high and deep, and the countryside is poor, that's right, this kind of place is possible to hide important figures in the Jianwen Yu Party, and even Emperor Jianwen himself. If Emperor Jianwen ran to Yangzhou City to hide, he would be arrested in less than an hour.

Besides, it is already very surprising that he can directly know the county of Qipin, as a regular supervisor, and raise two hundred and five people. Although the place where the official is appointed is a little worse, it is more in line with the convention, if it is too good, it is easy to attract attention.

Song Yun'er has been with Yang Qiuchi all this time, of course, she knows that the reason why Yang Qiuchi is depressed is not because the place is bitter, but because she is worried about Bai Sumei's exile, so she asked her father Song Tongzhi how far away Qingxi County in Yuanzhou from Yunnan is in Huguang Town. Song Tongzhi said that it was in Huguang near the border of Yunnan, and it used to be Yunnan.

When Yang Qiuchi heard this, it turned out to be so close, and he immediately became happy, as long as he asked Kang Huai, the envoy of Yunnan to be punished, set the flow of Bai Sumei's mother and daughter close to Huguang, they would almost be together.

Now that Lord Yin Gu of Tianfu Mansion has been introduced, it should not be difficult to spend some money when the time comes, and hope has risen in my heart again.

Yang's mother is very happy, her son has become an official, although he has to go far to the southwest, but he is also a person who has made a name for himself and glorified his ancestors.

Feng Xiaoxue was even more excited, she didn't expect that after her husband experienced the catastrophe of that strange wind, he was not only very good to himself, but also lucky, he was rich and an official, and now he is also the Qipin County Commander of Zhenzong.

In the minds of ordinary people, this magistrate is a very big official, and the husband has become a big official, which is something that Feng Xiaoxue couldn't think of before.

In addition to being happy, everyone began to discuss what people Yang Qiuchi would bring with him, of course Feng Xiaoxue, the original lady, would go with him, and the two concubines should have gone together, but unfortunately, they were all robbed by the mysterious masked female thief. Yang's mother is old, the journey is tiring, and the place where Yang Qiuchi is an official is not a good place, not as prosperous as Ningguofu, so Yang's mother stayed in her hometown, and Song Tong knew that they were there, and they also took care of each other.

Of course, twenty guards had to protect Yang Qiuchi, and Yang's mother had a dart master at home who was helped by the Zhou Governor's Mansion to protect the hospital, but Yang Qiuchi was still not at ease, so he left the two brocade-clothed guards to protect Yang's mother. The rest of Xia Ping and the other three female guards protected Feng Xiaoxue and went to Huguang with him to take up his post. The other is his newly hired female bodyguard Song Yuner.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, even if the New Year begins. Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue began to celebrate the New Year, although the two concubines were gone, they still had to spend this year.

Three days later, the old man Yang of Yangjia Village, Guangde County, his hometown, sent a housekeeper to send an invitation to Yang Qiuchi, inviting Yang Qiuchi's family to Yangjia Village for the New Year.

This housekeeper's surname is Pang, although he is in his fifties, he looks very strong and capable, and told Yang Qiuchi that the old lady Yang learned that Yang Qiuchi was promoted and became the magistrate of Qingxi County, Huguang, and he was very happy, and felt that this was a good thing for the glory of the ancestors, so he sincerely invited Yang Qiuchi's family to his hometown for the New Year and worship their ancestors together.

Yang Qiuchi was a little funny, this old man Yang forced himself to take a concubine and give birth to a son, and if he couldn't give birth to a son, he was not allowed to enter the Yang family's ancestral hall, thinking that he had lost the face of the Yang family. Now he said that he gave Yang Jiaguang to his ancestors and asked him to go back to worship his ancestors.

Although this old man Yang is a bit of a philistine, however, Yang Qiuchi does not hate him - if an elder forces you to take a concubine, although you will cry and laugh a little, you will not hate him, because for men, this request is not annoying.

Yang Qiuchi agreed very quickly, and besides, he happened to go to Hejia Village casually to see his house.

This housekeeper Pang has been a housekeeper in Mrs. Yang's house for many years, and Yang Qiuchi borrowed the corpse to resurrect the soul of the Yang stone, and was beaten and scolded by this housekeeper Pang when he was a child.

This time, Steward Pang was ordered to invite Yang Qiuchi to return to his hometown to save his relatives, and he was already ready for Yang Qiuchi to take revenge on himself, he is now an official master, even if he doesn't scold, this white eye and cynicism must be indispensable, but he didn't expect Yang Qiuchi to mention the previous things at all. Steward Pang was a little surprised, but even more happy.

As soon as Yang Qiuchi invited Yang Mu and Feng Xiaoxue out, both of them were very happy. Although Mother Yang had some resentment for this old lady Yang's cruelty to them before, she remembered that Old Man Yang used to not let them enter the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, but now she sent an invitation to beg them to go back to worship their ancestors, which can be regarded as a mistake, Old Lady Yang is the patriarch of Yangjia Village, can you still expect him to kneel down and kowtow? Besides, he just does things according to the rules, and there is nothing particularly excessive.

The son is now a county magistrate and has returned to his hometown, what a glorious thing, so Mother Yang accepted the invitation to Mrs. Yang.

On this day, Song Yuner was also playing in Yang's mansion, and when she heard Yang Qiuchi say that she was going to the countryside for the Spring Festival, she immediately shouted that she wanted to go together. Of course, Yang Qiuchi didn't object, but he asked Song Yun'er to go back and ask his father Song Tongzhi.

Song Yun'er went back and asked, Song Tongzhi not only agreed, but proposed to go together, saying that Mrs. Yang was his same year, and he had been fascinated for a long time, so he just took the opportunity to visit together. It was decided to set off together to Yangjia Village the next morning.

Steward Pang saw that the matter was so easy to handle, not only invited the main master, but also invited the same year as the old lady Yang, and the five products of Ning Guofu were even more happy.

Happy, but a little strange, this Yang Qiuchi is really so adult, regardless of the previous suspicions? Steward Pang was still a little worried.

After dinner, while chatting in the living room. After Steward Pang inquired about Mother Yang, he learned that Lord Yang had been swept away by the strange wind, and after he came back, he had amnesia, and he couldn't remember the previous things. Steward Pang was relieved.

Mother Yang asked Steward Pang about the changes in Yangjia Village after she left. Steward Pang picked up some and said happily.

Yang Qiuchi was a little curious about this old lady Yang who forced him to take a concubine, and also asked some things about the old lady Yang, and Steward Pang knew that Yang Qiuchi had amnesia, so he gave Yang Qiuchi a roughly comprehensive introduction.

After listening to Steward Pang's words, Yang Qiuchi knew that it turned out that this old lady Yang had a total of one wife and two concubines. The original partner gave birth to a son named Yang Qingshui, the second aunt gave birth to a daughter, and the third aunt also gave birth to a son.

Mrs. Yang's favorite is this third aunt, but unfortunately, not long after the third aunt's son was born, the third aunt had a problem with her head, became a nymphomaniac, and undressed in front of Yang Qingshui and other men for pleasure. That night, after the third aunt returned to normal, she was ashamed and hanged herself.

Since then, the small attic where the third concubine hanged herself has often been haunted, and Mrs. Yang used to live in that small attic, and saw the ghost of the third aunt standing by his bed and laughing, and was scared half to death, and never dared to live in that small attic again. The door of the little attic was locked from then on, and no one dared to enter it.

It turned out that there was a haunted house in the courtyard of Yang's mansion, and there were so many stories. Yang Qiuchi faintly felt that his visit to Yangjia Village this time was probably not as simple as worshipping his ancestors during the New Year.

The next day, Yang Qiuchi asked people to prepare several large boxes of gifts, asked Nangong Xiong and other guards to carry them, and a group of people waited for them to ride horses and set off in a sedan chair. They first arrived in Guangde County, had lunch, and then set off for Yangjia Village. This Yangjia Village is not far from the county seat, and it takes about two hours to arrive.

There is a gazebo at the entrance to the village. Yang's mother ordered to stop the sedan chair, this time her son returned to his hometown, she may not have been back to her hometown for a long time, and she wanted to come down to take a look.

So, the team stopped, Yang Qiuchi turned over and dismounted, Feng Xiaoxue also got off the sedan chair, and the two supported Yang's mother, standing on the pavilion, looking at Yangjia Village in the distance. Song Yun'er and Song Tongzhi also followed up in the cool hall.

This Yangjia Village is a small mountain village, located in the middle of the mountain, built by the mountain, hundreds of households, almost all of them are members of the Yang family. A small stream winds down from the mountains, and on either side of the stream are terraced fields.

Between the terraced fields, there are scattered some dirt bags, the heavy snow of the previous days has not yet melted, on the terraced ridges, on those dirt bags, and by the stream, there is still residual snow, reflecting a bleak white light.

Yang Qiuchi didn't know what those dirt bags were, but after careful observation, he found that they were originally some tombs, and there were low tombstones.

Seeing that Yang Qiuchi looked at this mountain village very curiously, and couldn't recognize this as his hometown at all, Yang's mother was a little sad, pulled Yang Qiuchi, and pointed to one of the simple houses under several huge osmanthus trees on the edge of the village, and said: "Our family used to be there, and you were very naughty when you were a child, and you often climbed to the osmanthus tree to pick osmanthus flowers. ”

Feng Xiaoxue asked curiously: "Mother, husband is a boy, do you also like flowers and plants?" ”

"What, he's here to please those little girls in the village, to be a hero."

Feng Xiaoxue smiled and looked at Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi was a little embarrassed when he heard Yang's mother talk about the troubles he had when he was a child, although this was all done by the Yang stone that he replaced with the corpse, but now it is counted on his own head.

"Hehehehe," Song Yun'er laughed, "Brother, I didn't expect you to be a playboy since you were a child!" ”

Yang Qiuchi glared at Song Yun'er, put his hand on the pergola, looked under the osmanthus tree, looked at it for a while, and couldn't tell which one was where he lived since he was a child, and he didn't bother to care about it, and asked again: "Mother, where does Old Lady Yang live?" ”

Without waiting for Mother Yang to answer, Steward Pang of the old lady Yang next to him pointed to a big mansion in the back village and said: "Young Master Yang, our old lady's house is in the back village, and there, there is a large bamboo forest planted behind it." ”

Yang Qiuchi looked in the direction of Steward Pang's finger, and sure enough, the back village was lush with a bamboo forest, and there was a large mansion between the bamboo forests, surrounded by red walls, high walls and green tiles, countless blue brick buildings, and beautiful pavilions.

Old lady Yang is the patriarch of Yangjia Village and the most powerful person in Yangjia Village. I was once a squire, and I was a squire with a reputation, and it was not unusual to live in such a mansion.

When he was about to enter the village, Steward Pang called his entourage to report the news. When Yang Qiuchi and them entered the entrance of the village, there was a sudden sound of artillery and drums. When he came to the gate of the Yang family's mansion, Mrs. Yang had already led his family and the squire in the village to greet him at the gate.
