Chapter 175: The Low-key Earl's Court
He Ruichang, who was sitting in the car, saw an elderly lady walking towards him, of course, he couldn't sit so steadily and peacefully, so he hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car, got out of the car, and greeted him.
The two sides were already very close, so they stopped, and the old lady said with gratitude,
"This Mr. Zong, thank you for saving me, if it weren't for Mr. Zong's children, I don't know what would happen to the old family today."
Mr. Zong?
Hearing the other party's name, Lord He was stunned at the time, but when he looked up again, he saw He Qingyu snickering there, and Zong Jiyuan's expression was even more embarrassed, and he already understood in his heart, so he arched his hand and said calmly,
"The old lady must not be so polite, when she sees danger, she will help, this is a matter of course, how can there be a reason not to save when you see death."
"Sir is really a good man,"
The old lady actually looked full of emotion, and said,
"Otherwise, there would not be such a good son under his knees, especially this young one, who is really a good child, this kindness and old body will never forget. Mr. Zong, whose surname is Song, lives in the big courtyard outside the city of Liaoyang Prefecture and near the White Tower. β
"Thisβthis doesn't have to bother you, old lady......"
Hearing her mention the words "Song Mansion outside the city of Liaoyang Prefecture", He Ruichang was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
And the old lady looked, although sometimes a little confused, but when she spoke, she was a person who said the same, and her tone interrupted him very dryly,
"No, we'll definitely see you again! How can the grace of saving lives be said to be enough? However, the old body still has to hurry today, so I will leave. Qing'er, let's go. β
"Yes, grandmother."
The young man, "Qing'er," helped his grandmother toward their own carriage, and by this time the other wounded servants had basically bandaged themselves and helped each other to follow.
After walking a distance, the young man suddenly turned back as if he was a little unwilling, and said loudly to Zong Ji Yuan,
"Brother Ji Yuan! After a while, the little brother will definitely come to you to thank you in person! β
Seeing this group leave, everyone was relieved, and they started to clean up and tidy up, Wang Yu put the knife back into the sheath and said with a smile,
"When I make such a fuss, my stomach is even hungrier."
"My lord, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that He Ruichang was still looking at the direction in which the old lady Song was leaving, Zong Jiyuan asked in some surprise,
"Could it be that you have heard of that 'Song Mansion'?"
"yes,"
He Ruichang withdrew his gaze and nodded,
"There is only one compound near the White Tower, and the one who lives there is a hereditary earl, although it is only an empty title, but no one in this Liaodong local official dares to provoke the people in that mansion, even General Sheng Jing has to let him three points when he meets, but no one knows his true identity."
"How can it be so mysterious?"
He Qingyu listened very curiously on the side, and couldn't help asking,
"In any case, there will be people who know who they are and what they are."
"There are some rumors,"
He Ruichang glanced at his son and smiled,
"Some people once speculated that they were distant relatives of the emperor, and some said that they were from the queen mother's family, and even funnier was that some people said that the Song family was a descendant of the former Ming royal family...... However, in my opinion, the second statement is more appropriate. Fortunately, the people of the Song Mansion have always been very low-key, and they have never done things publicly, if it weren't for this coincidence, this official might never want to see people in the mansion in his life. β
"But, my lord, since the identity of the Song family is so special, do you think today's robbery was accidental, or did someone have other plans?"
After listening to the adult's description, Zong Jiyuan's brows couldn't help but furrow.
He Ruichang really admired her acumen, so he nodded approvingly and said,
"Ji Yuan, you're right, although this Song Mansion has never had any trouble filling in the place on weekdays, but if something really happens, let alone our Liaodong County, Liaoyang Prefecture, and even the entire Shengjing Mansion, don't think about peace, it's really scary to think about it......"
"Yes......"
He Qingyu was also a little stunned when he heard this, and only said after a while,
"But, but this ......"
"Ji Yuan,"
He Ruichang didn't pay attention to his son anymore, but turned to Zong Jiyuan,
"It seems that what you said is not wrong at all, the disaster of Liaodong County is not only the gang of thieves in Dongshangou, but also a group of forces that are more powerful than them."
"yes, my lord, that's what the students think,"
Zong Jiyuan thought about it and nodded in agreement,
"However, this matter still needs to be investigated carefully, and it can't be rushed."
"That's right,"
Looking at her serious and beautiful face, He Ruichang suddenly smiled and said,
"So, let's fill our stomachs first, otherwise, Wang Yishi will probably go hungry."
In a word, everyone laughed, and Wang Yu also smiled heartily,
"Why don't you come down for lunch today?"
"Okay, then it's up to you,"
Zong Jiyuan immediately pushed the boat down the river,
"Anyway, the place to eat is also recommended by you, and the ordering and checkout are also handed over to you, wouldn't it be more worry-free for all of us."
Although He Ruichang was still a little hesitant, everyone echoed him, and in order not to sweep everyone's luck, he agreed, thinking that it would be better to compensate him in the future. In this way, when they came to the town mentioned by Wang Yu, everyone found a slightly larger restaurant and sat down, and after ordering food, they ate happily.
Wang Yu's vision is really good, the food in this house is simple, affordable, and the taste is unique, which makes people taste it and have a sense of aftertaste, and everyone eats it very smoothly.
Zong Jiyuan is a girl after all, even if she is really hungry, she won't eat too much, and she will eat it quickly, and when the guy comes over to make tea, he chats with him casually,
"Little second brother, your food tastes really good."
"It's good that you're satisfied,"
The man listened and replied with a smile,
"Catch Ming'er, all the guests come to our place again, and this meal can be eaten at our house."
"Of course,"
Zong Jiyuan smiled sweetly, agreed with his mouth, and then asked,
"By the way, little second brother, is your business in this town easy to do? In addition to business matters, are there any additional burdens? β
"Alas, when you listen to your words, you know that you are an insider......"
The man sighed, but he couldn't say anything.
It seems that he has heard the meaning of what she said from Zong Jiyuan's words, this "extra burden" naturally refers to those bullies who run rampant in the township, this kind of people have always been bullies, no matter what other people's families do, they have to come to pump some oil and water, but this kind of people are basically everywhere.
