Qingling Daoist glanced at Xu Qing'an lightly.

Are the two brothers and sisters of the Marquis of Anyi both descendants? He couldn't help but suspect that Mrs. An Yihou had no heirs and had to be inherited from the clan.

Mrs. An Yihou is so young, she shouldn't be in such a hurry, maybe she was born to An Yihou and his concubine......

Qingling Dao Chang frowned, sure enough, after being with these people for a long time, it was easy to mess up the Dao heart, he would actually guess this kind of thing.

"Don't come nonsense," Qingling Daoist said lightly, "They can live here for a long time, and the local government has not been aware of it, what does this prove?" ”

Xu Qingan's eyes lit up: "Could it be that the local government is colluding with them?" ”

Daoist Qingling couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and when they came out, Lord Song instructed the senior brother to pay attention to the movements of the mansion.

Lord Song and Miss Xu couldn't leave Beijing at this time, but they had already guessed the situation here, which was really admirable.

The senior brother also left and never came back, it should be Lord Song's other orders, so the matter may be more serious than he thought.

He has to be optimistic about Xu Qing'an and his senior brother, thinking of this, the Qingling Daoist went to see Qi Defang again, the prince of Shunyang County does not talk much on weekdays, and seems to be very stable, but the person who can be with the senior brother and the prince for a long time still can't be careless.

Daoist Qingling suddenly felt that he had a great responsibility.

……

Outside the palace.

Li Xu watched Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Song walk in together.

Cheng Ruhai, the secretary of the Criminal Department, couldn't help but sneer, An Yihou and the Song family still don't know the temperament of today's saints, thinking that if they are blackmailed like this, the saints will release Xu Qinghuan back, but as a result, three more female dependents have been put in for no reason.

Li Xu's gaze was slightly deep, after Cheng Ruhai presented the letter to the saint, there was no reply, and he didn't know what was written on the letter.

"Ninth Master," the Li family steward stepped forward and said, "Second Master Kong has come to Beijing, and Mrs. asked me to ask Ninth Master if he can go to Kong's house today." ”

Second Master Kong has come to Beijing, which means that Shen Congrong has arrived.

Li Xu nodded: "I'll go back in a while." ”

When the officials of the Criminal Department came to replace him, Li Xu walked towards the Li family.

Zhou Yue greeted him and said, "There is movement on the Kong family's side again. ”

Li Xu nodded: "Second Master Kong is here." ”

Zhou Yue is very strange, the Kong family seems to be very sure of the southeast, could it be true that he persuaded Shen Congrong? Zhou Yue really wanted to ask Li Xu how the matter of the Kong family was investigated, but he swallowed the words when he came to his mouth, he had already questioned Li Xu, and he couldn't test it again and again......

"What will happen to the Xu family?" Zhou Yue pursed her lips, "Why was Miss Xu locked up in the palace?" ”

Li Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Don't go to the Anyi Marquis Mansion recently. ”

Zhou Yue was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but stop, Li Xu reminded him like this, that is to say, the Xu family is very dangerous this time, An Yihou is a noble, and he was injured in Changzhou before, and ordinary crimes will not shake the Xu family, unless it is a felony.

Finding that Zhou Yue didn't follow, Li Xu turned his head to look over.

"Li Xu," Zhou Yue said, "what is the Xu family's crime?" Could it be that someone framed him? ”

Although King Cheng has been found to be the mastermind behind the scenes, he still feels that this case is not simple, and the Criminal Department and Dali Temple seem to have died down, but there are still doubts.

For example, the Kong family.

"You can go to Kong's house with me." Li Xu looked at Zhou Yue.

Zhou Yue nodded.

……

The Kong family put up lanterns, and the two brothers Kong Erye and Kong Wuye feasted in the hall.

Although the Confucian family in the north does not often enter Beijing, the second master of Kong has a wide range of contacts and has a close relationship with many officials, and the Zhang family has been frustrated this time, many people are optimistic about the Kong family, after all, the Kong family is one of the few generals who did not take refuge in the Zhang family, and the emperor wants to balance the Zhang family and let them contribute.

The foundation of the Confucian family was not deep before, although there were several generals, but the official rank was not too high.

In addition, the Kong family is a family in the north, and the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty has always been very trusting of the northern family, because as early as when Taizu attacked the previous dynasty, he wanted to persuade the northern city to surrender, but he did not expect the northern military and civilians to be loyal to the previous dynasty.

After the establishment of the Great Zhou, the generals in the northern Xinjiang were all trusted by Taizu, and the children of the northern clans would also join the ranks, but they would not usually be entrusted with important tasks.

Now that so many years have passed, the events of the previous dynasty have long been gone, and the Kong family is not a northern clan in the true sense, and the events of the Taizu period have gradually become forgettable, and the Kong family has finally waited for the opportunity to prosper.

"Ninth brother," Second Master Kong stepped forward and patted Li Xu's shoulder, "There are a lot of guests here, I came to introduce you to Ninth Brother." ”

Second Master Kong looked very happy, and Fifth Master Kong was even more smiling.

After the two brothers took Li Xu and Zhou Yue to the study, Second Master Kong did not hide it: "The fifth brother should go to the southeast to take up his post in a few days." ”

Kong Wuye smiled slightly, as if he had already made up his mind.

Li Xu looked at Second Master Kong: "Shen Congrong agreed to recommend?" ”

Second Master Kong looked at his younger brother and You Rongyan: "I went to ask Shen Zongbing for help before, but Shen Zongbing still refused to agree, but today Shen Zongbing nodded after seeing the fifth brother, and agreed to recommend the fifth brother in front of the saint." ”

With Shen Congrong's recommendation, Kong Wuye will naturally seek jobs in several guards in the southeast.

That's why the Kong family is so happy.

Zhou Yue couldn't help but look at Li Xu, Li Xu said that it was not easy for the Kong family to set foot in the southeast, but now it seems that ...... But it was easy to do it, and it was Kong Wuye who profited.

There must be something strange here.

Is the current situation of the Xu family related to this matter?

"This is the eldest son of General Zhou," Second Master Kong looked at Zhou Yue with a smile, "I have long known that the ninth brother and the uncle of the Zhou family met, and our brothers didn't have the opportunity to drink together before, so we won't get drunk tonight." ”

Kong Erye has the heartiness of a person in the army, which makes people feel easy to approach, and soon entertains all the guests thoughtfully.

The Kong family brought wine and food, but Zhou Yue didn't drink more, a pair of eyes just stared at Kong Wuye, he turned his head to look at Li Xu from time to time, but Li Xu didn't seem to notice anything.

As he pushed the cup and changed the lamp, Zhou Yue saw that the corner of Kong Wuye's mouth floated a smug smile.

When Kong Wuye got up and left the table, Zhou Yue also pretended to be casual and chased after him.

Kong Wuye did not walk out of the corridor, and immediately changed his staggering appearance, and walked quickly to the inner house, Zhou Yue followed Kong Wuye closely like a shadow.

Kong Wuye walked through the weeping flower door and waited in the corridor for a while, and immediately a maid came.

"What about people?"

Zhou Yue vaguely heard Kong Wuye speak, and then the maid seemed to whisper something, Kong Wuye stretched out his hand and pushed, and the maid immediately stumbled to the ground.

Kong Wuye continued to walk forward.

Zhou Yue hid behind the rockery and watched Kong Wuye walk into a courtyard.

Zhou Yue's eyes widened in surprise, Miss Li was unwell, so there was no banquet in the Li family's house.

There was no one else in the Kong family's house except for Miss Li.

Miss Li is Kong Wuye's second sister-in-law, how could Kong Wuye enter the second sister-in-law's house at this time.
