571 Hidden Matters (2nd Watch)
Song Yuanshi sighed ten times and didn't say a word.
Song Ning let him go.
"Next time we'll keep an eye on him." Song Ning and Zhao Yi said.
Zhao Yi glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Guess, what did Qiu do all the time?" ”
"Didn't you go to the guard to borrow soldiers?" As he spoke, he pointed at Zhao Yi, "Lord Wang, be smart!" ”
When the words fell, Qiu came into the courtyard one after another, and replied that the soldiers of the guard had been borrowed, a total of one hundred and twenty people, and there could be no more.
Don't want so many in the autumn, thirty people are enough, otherwise it will be a burden to eat, drink, and sleep along the way.
"Mr. Yuan went to a family, which is separated from here by two alleys, and after he went in, his subordinates went to do errands, and when he came back, he went there again, and it was a very ordinary family." Autumn said.
"A family of three, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and a ten-year-old grandson who is studying, nothing else." Autumn said.
Song Ning fiddled with the short sword and said, "Forget it, don't ask him." Just like the gladiator, there will be an answer soon. ”
Through a door, Song Yuanshi listened to the conversation in the courtyard, and he couldn't hear it intermittently, but he could guess what they were talking about, and even he knew what Song Ning's expression and mood were at the moment.
But he couldn't get out.
He sighed and sat back at the table to sort out the materials of the Luoyang case.
"Is Lord Song here?" There were people standing at the door, Qiu went to open the door, and the person from the express shop stood at the door, handed over a letter and said with a smile, "Go to Luoyang and say that Lord Song left, and the villain will find here." ”
As long as you don't hide and take the mountain road, it is still relatively convenient for the express shop to find people, especially for officials like Song Ning.
Because every time you enter a city, you have to hand in documents and documents as a record record, and the people in the express delivery shop can know as long as they check it.
Then search the city inns, patrol militia, and so on.
Therefore, it is not so difficult for the government to find people, of course, the premise is that the person being found is on a clear path.
"A letter from the capital?" Qiu took it and signed, and the person from the urgent delivery shop replied, "Yes, there is an urgent letter from the capital." ”
Song Ning took the letter and said to everyone: "Old Lord Song has a letter." ”
"Prince Ning and the prince went to Qinshan to play, and were pushed down the mountain by the prince, and the person fell into a coma and broke his arm."
Everyone was surprised and looked at Zhao Yi.
"Look at what I'm doing, I can't count that." Zhao Yi said.
Song Ning couldn't believe it, he really couldn't believe it: "Zhao Tao, is it too anxious?" ”
"Don't rush to conclusions." Zhao Yi said to Song Ning, "The case you want to investigate in Baoding Mansion will not be investigated for the time being, go back to the capital first to find an opportunity and then go." ”
Song Ning also thought so.
The next morning, everyone set off again, this time giving Pan Dexiang relatively good treatment, laying two layers of quilts bought from the inn under the prisoner car, and he sat and lay down much more comfortably.
Jin Dong saw that although Pan Dexiang was sick, his attitude was different from before, and he knew it in his heart.
At night, when the inn stayed and Song Ning took medicine for Pan Dexiang to chat by the way, Jin Dong shouted in the next room: "Little Lord Song! ”
"Huh?" Song Ning pushed open Jin Dong's door with the medicine, Jin Dong was lying down, and Lu Qingqing was leaning on the side and taking a nap.
"Lord Xiao Song, Xia Guan also has useful information to tell you." Jin Dong Road.
Song Ning handed the medicine to Lu Qingqing: "Send it to Mr. Pan." ”
She sat down next to Jin Dong's bed again: "How many days have we gotten along and we have feelings, what does Lord Jin have to tell me?" ”
"Xiaguan has always been out of the public and has never been an official in Beijing, so the things he knows are all outside." Jin Dong said, "You probably won't be interested in other things, but there is one thing you will want to hear." ”
Song Ning bowed his head.
"As far as the lower officials know, your maternal ancestor is a general, right?"
Song Ning nodded.
"With the general all his life, he fought horses, and died on the border to defend the rivers and mountains. But with the sudden death of the general in the sixth year of Tianquan, you probably don't know that that year Xiaguan Zhengwai released Beijing, and the first county order was made in Kaicheng. Kaicheng belongs to Pingliang! ”
"Lord Song didn't know when he was young, that year, outside of Kaicheng, there was a battlefield, and General Sui's camp was in Kaicheng."
Song Ning had read this period of history, she looked at Jin Dong with a straight face, and she could already guess some of what he was going to say next.
"That day was the fourth day of the seventh month, and the person who Jin Liao brought the troops back then was Xiao Tzu Yan, Xiao Tzu Chongyuan's uncle. That scene was very unusual, and it was reported that the other side was more than 200 cavalry, and after hearing about it, the general planned to send one of his lieutenants, but the lieutenant general had a bad stomach, so he went with the general himself. ”
"He also brought 200 people, and the subordinate officers were not there at that time, and later the subordinate officers clearly remembered that there were 100 and 13 people in total, plus the people who escaped back, a total of about 200 people."
"That battle was too ordinary, and when the general and Xiao Tzuyan met, they even said hello, and after the fight, Xiao Tzuyan took people away."
"But at this time, a group of masked and black-armored people appeared in the sky, and there were thousands of these people...... Jin Dong said for a moment and looked at Song Ning, "Does Lord Xiao Song feel that the scene is familiar?" ”
Song Ning frowned and said, "You mean, these people are very similar to the people who appeared to save us the night before?" ”
Jin Dong said: "I'm not sure, Lord Xiao Song just listened to it, it's not easy to say what is going on, you have to rely on your own analysis, after all, this is just speculation, and there is no basis for it." ”
Song Ning bowed his head.
"General Sui died at the hands of these people. The most bizarre thing is that dozens of people who were later brought back also died in the barracks that night. ”
"No one dares to say anything about this matter anymore, and Xia Guan has never mentioned it to outsiders."
Song Ning pursed his lips and did not respond to him immediately.
Again, you can tell for yourself. Regarding who is the murderer and how the official did not investigate the process, it is not good to say half a word. ”
Song Ning bowed his head, pondered for a moment and asked him: "At that time, it was the sixth year of Tianquan, was the first assistant Su Wenchu?" ”
"Yes, the first assistant is Su Wenchu. Now that Wei Ge has only returned to Beijing after two years of exile, your father should still be working in the household department. ”
The sixth year of Tianquan is also the year when she and Song Shi'an were born. When the general learned the good news on the battlefield, he sent the names of the two brothers and sisters, implying that there was no war in the world, and peace and smoothness.
After the name was sent, the news of the death of the general was immediately received.
That year, the tenth master in the palace was just three years old, and he was clever and cute.
"I need to think about this matter, with my understanding of the cause and effect of the matter, it is not enough to distinguish the information in Lord Jin's words." Song Ning said, "Lord Jin said this, what is he asking for?" ”
Jin Dong said: "Official! ”
"In my case, it is not a big problem for you to keep your official position, and my target is not you. But if you have other opponents, or if you still have human lives in your hands, then I don't know, I can't talk about it! ”
Jin Dong smiled and said, "No, no." ”
Song Ning didn't believe that Jin Dong had no life in his hands, so he thought of a way to let the killer kill Yang Su and other masters and servants.
She was perfunctory, and she had to be checked.
When she went out, she happened to see Zhao Yi coming out of Song Yuanshi's room, she was stunned and whistled, and said, "What is the prince looking for Mr. Yuan?" ”
"Tell me something, what did you talk about?"
"Just go in again, and I'll tell you something."
Zhao Yi was dragged back to Song Yuanshi's room by Song Ning, and the three of them sat down around the round table, and Song Ning told them Jin Dong's words: "...... Well, how much do you know about it? ”
"I've guessed a bit, but because General Sui and I have no relationship or contact, I haven't investigated and understood." Zhao Yi said. He didn't care about the government before, and anyone's life and death had nothing to do with him, and he began to care about it in the past two years, but the things he inquired about had not yet involved General Dao Sui.
Mainly with the death of the general, it did not cause a great impact.
"After General Sui's death, it was Feng Li. Feng Li is still a person trained with the general, half a master. Zhao Yi said.
Song Ning looked at Song Yuanshi again.
Song Yuanshi's expression moved, and he said: "I've been to the Kaicheng meeting and heard that the people who killed those soldiers back then wore military boots. ”
"Some people suspect that these people are from the past of the capital. Because the soldiers here are all with the general, if there are so many people who want to intercept him, it must be someone from outside. ”
Song Ning nodded, shook his head again, and said, "But from Jin Dong's point of view, it's very strange that he told me about this." ”
"You mean, Jin Dong actually knows who is behind the scenes?"
Song Ning bowed his head.
But Jin Dong obviously won't continue to talk about the rest of the matter.
She didn't need to know that now.
It doesn't matter, for her.
"Back in Beijing, what we don't know, maybe Lord Song will know." Song Ning said.
After that, Jin Dong really didn't continue to talk about it, and like Pan Dexiang, he was very stable all the way.
The journey back was much faster than when I came.
Six days later, they arrived in the capital.
------Off topic------
November is on, and I wish you all the best.
These two chapters can be regarded as foreshadowing, and when the plot is pushed later, it won't be too abrupt, ahem!
