"Have you found out who lives inside?"

Qin Zhongguang sat in the study, his eyes fell on the lamp on the desk, motionless, but his tone was a little cold.

The general hugged his fists and replied: "The household registration department and the tooth people have asked, and the person who bought the house is a family surnamed Song, and he went through the transfer procedures a few years ago. At that time, when it was registered, it was written that it was an ordinary merchant. Coincidentally, General Song Xiao also lived in it for a while after returning to Beijing, thinking that it was a house owned by General Song Xiao's family. ”

"General Song? Song Zhige? ”

"Exactly."

The general hesitated, and then said: "When my subordinates were exploring the alley of the big banyan tree, they seemed to feel that someone was peeping in the dark, and their strength was probably comparable to that of their subordinates, not like ordinary people." Moreover, according to several neighbors, there are groups of slaves and maids in the small courtyard of the Song family, and they are well-trained, and they do not look like small folk families......"

Qin Zhongguang frowned.

Song Zhige is his favored junior, and it is also his intention to recommend Song Zhige to go to Northern Xinjiang for training, but he has never investigated Song Zhige's family background, and only knows that the other party is an ordinary businessman.

But how could the He family suddenly target Song Zhige's family?

Also, who lives in the Song family, and there are still people guarding in the dark, so big?

Qin Zhongguang's personality is thick and fine, although he doesn't understand the battle in the back house, he can still see the situation of the previous dynasty clearly. Last time, when he recommended Song Zhige, he was a little suspicious, and he didn't understand how his father-in-law He Shangshu suddenly stood in the same camp with him.

At this moment, his confidant butler walked in, his face both happy and worried.

"Grandpa Guo, that girl is awake, it's just ......"

Qin Zhongguang said impatiently: "Just what? Something to say! ”

"It's just that the girl is mute and illiterate."

Qin Zhongguang's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, "Dumb? Is it born dumb, or is it? ”

The steward stubbornly said, "I was drugged and dumb." ”

Qin Zhongguang laughed angrily.

"Good, what a poisonous woman! I don't feel at ease if I don't let people follow...... Hmph, it's so careless of human life! When she kills the mute and the little lady of the Song family, who will she deal with next? Such a femme fatale, I will divorce her! ”

The steward, who vaguely knew the inside story, hurriedly dissuaded, "My grandfather, you can't be impulsive at this juncture." The queen has only been gone for a few days, and the people outside are waiting to see our jokes. Even if Madame does something wrong, let's just talk about it behind closed doors, why make a fuss to everyone. ”

Qin Zhongguang suppressed the anger in his heart and ordered directly: "Bring that girl over, I will personally judge it!" ”

But to his disappointment, he couldn't get any valid information from the mouth of this dying girl.

He asked her if she was instructed to harm the Song family, and the woman wept bitterly and nodded.

But when he asked if it was Mrs. Qin's instructions, the woman shook her head blankly, and finally compared three fingers, no one knew what she wanted to say.

Just when Qin Zhongguang was hesitating whether to confront the He family, the evidence found himself at the door.

The henchman came in with a strange face, one of whom was tied up with five flowers and had a bruised nose and swollen face, and the other was a subordinate who followed the black shadow to find the mute woman last night.

"Grandpa Guo, my subordinates were accidentally escaped by this guy last night in order to save people. Today, I wanted to go to that area to find his traces, but I didn't want to see him lying in the alley like this, and his subordinates woke him up and asked a few questions, and when he saw that he answered everything, he took him back to the house and left him at the disposal of Grandpa Guo. ”

"So, he summoned the master behind him?"

The subordinate hesitated before he could speak, and the one who was tied up was already howling.

"Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Guo, the little ones are willing to say anything, don't kill the little ones. The little one's name is Huang Quan, a local person, because he ranks third in the family and has a good skin, everyone calls me Huang Sangongzi. A few days ago, someone suddenly came to me with five hundred taels of silver. I don't know what the effect of that powder is, Mei Xiang only let me get close to the slaves and maids of that family, and coax them to be willing to do it......"

Huang San said in the end, seeing that Qin Zhongguang's face was quite calm, he simply shouted for himself.

"I didn't know that there was an official in the family, and I was addicted to money for a while, but I didn't expect that after the matter was completed, the person who asked me to do things actually threatened me in turn, if I didn't kill that Xiaoling, I would go to sue the official and arrest me for abducting women. I'm also wronged, that Xiaoling obviously went with me voluntarily, how can it be considered abduction? But Mei Xiang her, she is holding the waist card of your mansion, and the small one is really afraid of ......"

Qin Zhongguang gave a look, and the steward immediately retreated, and asked the soldiers to divide into two ways, one to go to the yamen to inquire if there was a woman named Xiaoling who had gone missing and reported the case, and the other way to go to the big banyan alley.

The one who was sent to the Big Banyan Alley was still the general Qin He, although his combat achievements were mediocre, he had been by Qin Zhongguang's side for some years, and he had followed him in and out of the palace several times.

When Imperial Physician Chen came out of the Song family's courtyard after seeing the consultation, he happened to have a face-to-face with this general.

Qin He's face changed slightly, and he hesitated to go up and say hello.

When Imperial Physician Chen found out that he was recognized, he was helpless, and only vaguely hinted that Qin He should not publicize the fact that he had come here.

In fact, Imperial Physician Chen also knew that Qin He would not shout nonsense to the outside world at most, and he would definitely have to tell his master, Qin Guogong, when he went back. But since Zhiwei has this incident, it means that this matter can't be hidden, and he is just doing his duty when he says this.

After Qin He went back, he really reported the matter to Qin Zhongguang as soon as possible.

Qin Zhongguang was immediately so frightened that he jumped up from his chair.

He didn't think that with Song Zhige's official position and face, he could invite Imperial Doctor Chen to treat his family, and besides, Song Zhige was not in the capital.

Imperial Physician Chen's attitude was ambiguous, which showed that he was most likely ordered by his superiors. Moreover, it is said that there is a young girl and a few maids and male servants living in the small courtyard of the Song family, which should be Song Zhige's sisters......

The He family had to deal with the girl for some reason, and the palace sent someone to treat the disease, as well as the guards in the shadows, and Huang San, who was subdued and thrown in front of them by someone for some reason......

Qin Zhongguang was excited, and suddenly thought of a possibility that gave him an even more headache.

Could it be that His Majesty went out of the palace to see that girl, fell in love with her at first sight, and was designed to take revenge after He learned about it?

Qin Zhongguang felt that the snake-scorpion-hearted He clan was likely to do this kind of thing.

He sighed slightly and sat back in his chair: "Serve the pen and ink!" ”

Qin He was a little inexplicable, grinding the ink awkwardly, and asked suspiciously: "Grandpa Guo, what ......is this?"

Qin Zhongguang's face was solemn, and a sentence came out of his mouth.

"Write an apology."

At the same time, Mei Xiang in the main courtyard was a little uneasy.

Before the queen's mourning period passed, the lady naturally entered the palace early in the morning, but Huang San, who promised her last night that she would return to her life after the completion of the matter, had not arrived for a long time, and she couldn't help but be a little worried that something had gone wrong.

If something really goes wrong, I won't go to check until the lady returns home in the afternoon, but I'm afraid that everyone will run away.

Mei Xiang immediately made a decision, and immediately went out of the house to Huang San's residence, but she didn't see anyone, and went to the Rejuvenation Medicine Hall. After receiving a satisfactory answer, he returned to the Qin Mansion with a hint of worry.

Big Banyan Alley.

Zhi Wei almost stayed up all night last night, and she was already sleepy, but after using the medicine given by Imperial Doctor Chen, the itching of the red marks on her body was slightly relieved, and the drowsiness slowly swelled up.

Jinxiu persuaded her to make up for sleep, but she refused to sleep, and forced herself to wait for Jiang Xue, who went out to inquire about the news, to come back, and her tired eyes swept over Wen Zhu and Yan Qiao, who were like fighting cocks in the courtyard from time to time.

Just as her eyelids were fighting, Jiang Xue finally came back with a calm face.

"Dr. Zhou from the Aphrodisiac Hall left, saying that he had something to do in his hometown and went back, and the girl Zhou was nowhere to be seen, so she thought she ran away overnight."

Wen Zhu sneered and pinched Yan Qiao: "Those two really have a problem, it must be you who colluded with them, otherwise, how could there be a problem with that medicine?" ”

Yan Qiao's eyes were red in a hurry, and she stammered in defense: "It's not me, it's really not me." I only went to the Rejuvenation Medicine Hall because it was the most recent and one of the most famous in the city. I'm not a native of the capital, I've been in the palace for so many years, how do I know which pharmacy is good? These are all told to me by Sister Jinxiu, and it was also proposed by Wenzhu to go to this house, have you forgotten? ”

"But you took the initiative to mention the fact that there is a female doctor in their family!" Wenzhu didn't have a good airway.

Yan Qiao bit her lip and said aggrievedly: "When I went, she was picking up medicine in the lobby, and an old lady asked her what medicine to take for a certain illness, so I wrote it down." I really didn't mean to, girl, you have to trust me......"

Zhi Wei sighed.

"Don't you tell me the truth? Then your parents, brother and sister-in-law in your hometown have built two big houses of blue bricks this year, what do you say? They have only been ordinary farmers for generations, and no one has gone out to do business, and this year's harvest is not very good, and they still ask someone to come to Beijing to look for you, isn't it? ”

The look of grievance on Yan Qiao's face instantly faded and became incredulous.

"How do you know...... You've already sent someone to find out...... Ke Wenzhu ......"

Zhi Wei glanced at Jiang Xue again, and the latter nodded at her, turned his face away, and turned cold and mocking at Yan Qiao.

"Do you want to say that I don't let Wen Zhu and Xiaoling enter the house these days, but instead open up to you, because they are very suspicious, and you are a stuffy person who is doing things has been revealed, right?"

Jiang Xue said coolly: "Or do you think that Le'er is sick and covered up well?" ”

Le'er was the fourth person who was transferred to take care of Zhiwei together with Jiangxue, Wenzhu, and Yanqiao, but because she suddenly fell ill, she was moved out of the river and mountain residence, and later made up for Xiaoling to come in.

Yan Qiao was stunned, and suddenly showed a smile that was more ugly than crying.

"No wonder, I haven't seen Le'er on Zhuangzi since then, and I haven't heard about her condition, she must have gone out, right?"

Jiang Xue nodded, because Le'er was one of the people who was sent to Yan Qiao's hometown to investigate.

Wen Zhu also interjected: "You think you are doing something hidden, but when Xiaoling first came to the door, I was suspicious, she is a country girl, where can she guess our preferences, and no one told her?" Now that Le'er has been squeezed out, Jiangxue and I are of the same heart, and the most suspicious is naturally only you. I can't imagine that our imperial front is so strictly controlled by Sister Yuxue, and we still get mixed in with a traitor like you! ”

Yan Qiao realized that it turned out that Jiangxue and Jinxiu joined forces to suppress Wenzhu and Xiaoling, and they were just making a show for her!

"It's because I'm not as good as others, if you want to kill, just don't involve my family."

Zhi Wei couldn't help but cry out when she heard this: "Is someone threatening you with your family?" If so, you can tell us. Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. No matter how powerful the person behind you is, can he be bigger than Your Majesty? ”

Yan Qiao glanced at her with a strange expression, and then turned indifferent.

"That's because slaves are self-aware, and not every palace person is as lucky as you."
