Song Zhixian coughed: "Virtuous nephew, Song, Song Qing's mother is not disagreeing, she has her concerns, after all, Song Qing's father was once the same acquaintance of Jingshi Chizhou, the home of the eunuch, for example, if the daughter is given to someone else as a concubine, especially you, you are just a ......, cough cough, and finally his mother reluctantly agreed, for example, if you can pass the exam, you will give Song Qing as a concubine." ”

Yes? Tell me to take the imperial examination? Yang Qiuchi's eyes widened, and he was a little stunned by the news.

Song Zhixian turned his head and glanced at Yang's mother, and continued: "I, I discussed with your mother along the way, Song Qingniang said, what she said is not unreasonable, besides, uncle, I, I have already told you, you are very capable, but, but if you want to be an official and do great things, I am afraid, I am afraid that you have to take the road of the imperial examination......"

Yang Qiuchi's heart was already half cold. Imperial examination? What is the concept of the imperial examination Yang Qiuchi didn't have specific feelings, he only remembered the text "Fan Jin Zhongju" in the middle school textbook, Fan Jin was a person who took the examination and his hair was gray, and he almost went crazy, and he didn't want to be like him. Besides, this ancient text is the most headache for him, and the caller can't figure it out when he goes around. These four books and five classics have been studied by the ancients for ten or twenty fucking years, and I want to be quick in one or two years? I'm afraid I'm really crazy.

"Virtuous nephew! Virtuous nephew! Song Zhixian's voice sounded in his ears, and Yang Qiuchi woke up from his depressed thoughts and looked at Song Zhixian.

Song Zhixian said: "Virtuous nephew, you, what are you doing in a daze, last time Zhou Zhifu agreed, I promised to help you, but you refused, do you know, yes, if there is Zhou Zhifu to help, but, you can save a lot of things, I and your mother pondered, we still prepare a gift, and then go to find Zhou Zhifu, he, he values you very much, it should be no problem." ”

Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly, even if he had the help of Governor Zhou, he had to rely on himself to go to the examination room, he didn't even recognize all the traditional characters, and he couldn't write neatly with a brush, so what to take? You can't expect yourself to be like Zhang Haogu in "Three Levels in a Row".

Although he is the special envoy of the Jinyi Guard, this thing can't be said, although the Jinyi Guard Commander Ji Gang values himself, I'm afraid he won't help him with this, and this is not something within his authority. Rely on your own hard test? If you get into the hooked waist hunchback and gray beard, you may not be able to get in, and you will still take concubines at that time? What is Nalai doing? Crying graves?

Yang's mother was very distressed when she saw her son's sad face. She knows her son best, her son has only been to a private school in the countryside for a year, although he knows some words, but it is not much better than being blind, and he wants to take the imperial examination to lift people, in comparison, I am afraid that it is easier to drive the sow up the tree.

But what Song Qing's mother said also makes sense, the daughter of an official eunuch, can you just give you a little common man who almost became a concubine? If you change to your own daughter, you won't do it. It seems that this family business is unattainable.

Song Qing guessed Yang Qiuchi's thoughts, hugged his neck and said: "Brother Qiuchi, don't worry, it's okay if my mother can't figure it out for a while, let's tell her slowly, she is just my daughter, forcing me to be anxious, I will become a nun and see what she does, in the end, I don't want to agree to the marriage of the two of us!" ”

Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly, thinking to himself that you are really a child's idea.

Song Qing said again: "Let's take the test first, didn't you accept Long Zixu's showman as a follower, let him teach you, if you can't lift people, let's take the test first, and it can be regarded as a fame, as soon as my mother is happy, maybe she will agree." ”

Song Zhixian nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, with my uncle and Zhou Zhifu to help you, this children's test should be no problem, when the time comes, look for Xuezheng and take the door, you spend a little more time and learn more, this show is still not a big problem." ”

"Well, then," what can I say now, I can only take one step at a time. Yang Qiuchi reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Although the promise was a promise, Yang Qiuchi was a little puzzled in her heart, Song Qingniang already knew that she was just a junior apprentice before, and now, she is a hired cell leader, how can she have any knowledge, she has to designate herself to be admitted to the exam, this is obviously difficult for a strong man, why should she be a strong man and let herself complete this impossible task? Didn't she plan to let her daughter marry her as a concubine at all? So why don't you say it?

Song Qing saw that Yang Qiuchi was in a stupid daze again, and the pink fist gently smashed Yang Qiuchi's chest: "Bhoo~!" What do you think? ”

Yang Qiuchi came back to his senses and said, "No, I didn't think about anything." ”

Song Qingshen said mysteriously: "There is one more thing, Brother Qiuchi, you must be happy to hear it." ”

"What's so mysterious?" Yang Qiuchi was a little curious.

Song Qing turned her head to Song Zhixian and said, "Uncle, it's better for your old man to tell Brother Qiuchi." ”

Song Zhixian was also full of spring breeze: "Virtuous nephew, when we went to Hao's house to withdraw from the marriage, this, this Hao Yuanwai is really a large number of adults, no, not only does not have the slightest sense of blame, but also proposes that if the virtuous nephew is willing, he still hopes to marry his daughter Hao Qian and marry you as a concubine." ”

Yes? Yang Qiuchi was stunned at this moment, did cockroaches really dominate the world? It's just amazing, it's incredible!!

If he were a duke or something like that, he might be able to understand that this was climbing high branches, but he was just a small cell boss, a small rural landlord, and a small landlord like him was simply a stone on the river beach, which was too common, and their Hao family was already so rich, did they still want their own money?

Don't want money, don't want status, what is this Master Hao? Could it be that their identities have been revealed, and they are coming for their envoys under the command of the Jinyi Guard? Impossible, this is a top secret, except for the emperor and Gonggong Li, who issued the decree, only the commander of Jinyiwei made Ji Gang and a few supreme leaders know, although Wang Tongzhi knew, but he was immediately killed by his younger brother. What others know is that Jinyiwei sent an envoy, and they don't know that this envoy is himself.

Since Old Man Hao didn't know, why was his daughter-in-law snatched away by himself, and he had the cheekiness to give his daughter to himself? Is it really for himself to be a "genius"? The devil believes.

At this time, the doubts that had already existed in his heart hit Yang Qiuchi's heart like a devil: Could it be that the two of them had already colluded? The Hao family knew that Song Qingniang would give them an impossible task, so they politely refused their proposal in this way, and when Song Zhixian went to withdraw from the marriage, the Hao family generously agreed, because they knew that they couldn't complete that task at all, and there was no way to grab their daughter-in-law, so Song Qing would still be their Hao family.

If so, it's a big deal: why did Song Qing's mother go around the bend to let herself drive the sow up the tree? Is it to let Song Qing maintain this kind of relationship with herself? What's in it for them? Why did the Hao family have the cheekiness to make Hao Qian their concubine? Hao Qian became their own concubine, what good did it do to them?

Song Qing saw that Yang Qiuchi was stupid and didn't know what he was thinking, and asked strangely, "Brother Qiuchi, aren't you happy?" Not only can you marry me, but you can also marry the first beauty of our Ningguo Mansion. ”

The uneasiness in Yang Qiuchi's heart was indescribable, these uneasiness made this charming Song Qing seem to suddenly become a little strange in his eyes, smiled, and said: "I'll talk about this matter later, I have already discovered the whereabouts of the real murderer who killed Tu Laosi, and now I am going to arrest him immediately." ”

When Song Zhixian heard this, he was very happy: "Virtuous nephew, are you telling the truth?" ”

Song Qing was also very happy: "Brother Qiuchi, you are so amazing!" Who is this murderer? I'm going to catch it with you. ”

Yang Qiuchi said to Song Zhixian: "Uncle, I found out that this murderer is a general under Bai Qianzong of Ying Tianfu, named Deng Youlu. Fortunately, you rushed back today, and I was about to report to Governor Zhou and send someone to Yingtianfu with us to arrest the murderer. ”

Song Zhixian was very happy, and he didn't have time to ask Yang Qiuchi how he found out, so he hurriedly pulled Yang Qiuchi to find Zhou Zhifu.

Song Qing hurriedly stopped, pouted and said: "I knew that I would go to Yingtianfu, we won't come back, I'm tired to death along the way, I've eaten dust all the way, and I'm so dirty, I have to take a shower and change clothes, you must wait for me." ”

"Okay~! Must be waiting for you. Yang Qiuchi agreed, but a subtle question flashed between his eyebrows.

Yang Qiuchi and others found Zhou Zhifu and told him about the discovery of the murderer, Zhou Zhifu was very happy, and immediately sent a team to arrest him, and rode to Yingtianfu with Yang Qiuchi and others to arrest people.

This Deng Youlu is Bai Qianzong's subordinate, and Yang Qiuchi is the life-saving benefactor of Bai Qianzong's family, although the two families almost fell out because of Bai Qianzong's request for Yang Qiuchi to divorce his wife and marry Bai Sumei, but later Bai Qianzong and his wife came to the door to apologize, which can be regarded as reconciliation. So there should be no problem with arresting people through Bai Qian.

After Yang Qiuchi and the catchers were ready, Song Qing also took a shower and changed her clothes, wearing a light red tight suit and a short fight, looking particularly sassy and heroic. Yang Qiuchi asked Governor Zhou to arrange for someone to send Yang's mother back to Guangde County, and then went straight to Yingtianfu with a large team of people.

Ming Chengzu was the nineteenth year of Yongle (1421) before moving the capital to Yanjing, now it is the seventh year of Yongle, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty is still in Nanjing, that is, Yingtianfu.

This is the first time Yang Qiuchi has gone to the capital, not to meet the saint as an official, but to arrest the murderer, no matter what, this first time to enter Beijing, in the end it is still heartbeat, not to mention that he has to see Bai Sumei, who has a skin kiss with him.

Ningguo Mansion was almost two days away from Yingtianfu in the capital, and Yang Qiuchi and the others hurried to hurry up, and only arrived at Yingtianfu on the morning of the third day.

The capital is the capital, which is different from a small place, and I don't know how many times bigger than Ning Guofu. The city wall is tall and majestic, the city is very lively, the flow of people is like a tide, rubbing shoulders, bustling, a bustling urban scene.

Yang Qiuchi looks like a hillbilly who has just entered the city, and everything he sees is very strange. He crossed over from modern society, and it was the first time he came to Yingtianfu, the most prosperous city in the Ming Dynasty, which was one of the most prosperous cities in the world at that time, which of course made Yang Qiuchi dizzy.

Song Zhixian didn't have the heart to look at these, and they were used to it, so they asked Bai Qianzong where the Qianzong Mansion was located, and looked for it all the way. But this capital is too big, and they went around for a long time before they found President Qian's mansion.

As the saying goes, when you arrive in the capital, you will know that the official is small. Bai Qianzong's army belongs to the Beijing camp (central army), which is an internal security force, and the capital has a total of 35 guards in the Beijing camp, which is responsible for the garrison of the Beijing division; Wei is led by the commander of the guard, each guard has five thousand households, and Bai Qian is only the head of a thousand households under one of the guards, which is equivalent to the head of the current detachment of a certain brigade of the armed police corps, so he is a thousand generals, not to mention compared with the princes and ministers, he is only a middle-level leading cadre in the Beijing camp.

However, this Qianzong Mansion is still very magnificent, and four pro-soldiers are standing guard at the door. After Yang Qiuchi handed over the sticker, after waiting for a while, he heard a hearty laugh coming from inside, and Bai Qian always greeted him with a smile: "Young Master Yang, I can look forward to you." When he went out to the door, he grabbed Yang Qiuchi's arm and shook it vigorously, looking very affectionate.

Song Zhixian and Song Yuner and others stepped forward to salute, and Bai Qian always smiled and returned the salute. Among these people, only Song Qing has not seen him, Yang Qiuchi hurriedly introduced that this is his concubine who has not passed the door, and her mother's family is also in Yingtianfu. When Mr. Bai Qian heard the concubine, his expression was a little gloomy, and then he welcomed them into Mr. Qian's mansion very enthusiastically.

Yang Qiuchi didn't see Bai Sumei, and was slightly disappointed. didn't care about greetings, and straightforwardly explained the purpose of this visit. After hearing this, Bai Qian's face was very solemn, and he immediately called two personal soldiers to bring Deng Youlu with him.

After the soldiers left, Bai Qian kept a gloomy face and didn't speak. This is understandable, his subordinates have committed murderous crimes, and of course he does not look good on the face. He had seen Yang Qiuchi's methods of solving the case with his own eyes, and he absolutely believed that Yang Qiuchi's judgment would not be wrong. Especially this Deng Youlu is his own subordinate, if Yang Qiuchi does not have real evidence, he will definitely not come to him.

After a long while, the two pro-soldiers ran back out of breath, saying that Deng Youlu had forcibly left the barracks at five o'clock in the morning and was missing.

Deng Youlu absconded? He forcibly left the barracks, and it was at five o'clock in the morning, that is, at four o'clock in the morning, could it be that he had already received the news that someone was coming to arrest him, so he fled in a hurry?

Could it be that Deng Youlu left for other reasons? No, if it was for other reasons, it wouldn't have been so coincidental to leave late at night, it would arouse suspicion, and only when he had to, it would be possible for him to ignore these and forcibly escape, so it seems that the possibility of news leakage is very large.

Was there an internal annihilation or an inadvertent leak of information? Yang Qiuchi thought quickly in his head.
