Gao's task of coming to Xu's house has been completed, and after persuading Li's family, he went home, and when he went out, he happened to meet Xu Ting coming to Chunhui Courtyard.

Xu Ting is fifteen years old, has grown into a symbol of the girl's appearance, and is good at dressing, Nana walked over, slim standing at the door, holding a pleasing lady painting, no matter how you look at it, it is beautiful.

"Auntie!" Xu Ting stood three steps in front of Gao's and bowed down, her body was impartial and unshaking, and her etiquette was impeccable.

Gao nodded, saw that Xu Ting was carrying a food box in her hand, faintly wafting out a wisp of aroma, and asked, "You came to see your mother?" ”

"Yes!" Xu Ting smiled and raised her hand slightly, shaking the food box in her hand slightly, "Mother has a bad appetite in the past two days, I made Huaishan spleen porridge and a few appetizing side dishes, I hope my mother can eat more, every time the season changes, my mother's health is not very good!" Xu Ting had a little sadness and distress on her face.

With such a caring daughter, it's no wonder that the sister-in-law is thinking about it, Gao praised Xu Ting for her filial piety and left.

Xu Ting carried the food box into the house and called her mother, and Li's happy answer came from inside, that kind of pleasure came from the heart, and it was incomparable to the joy that was pretended.

It wasn't until the third day that the summoned Song Xin and Song Hong brothers came back full of exhaustion, their beards were unshaven, their gorgeous clothes were wrinkled and couldn't be seen, and they faintly smelled of sweat.

Seeing this, Zhou couldn't bear to ask what was going on, so he was busy serving him to bathe and change clothes, and stewed rice porridge for Song Hong, and only after he was full of food and drink did he ask cautiously, "What?" Is there a difficult master in the criminal department? ”

Song Hong smiled bitterly, "It's not embarrassing, after all, everyone has worked together before, and they all do things according to the rules!" ”

"It's good that people are back! It's good that people are back! Zhou couldn't help but rejoice, the despair when the person was taken away gradually faded, and hope climbed into his heart again.

Song Hong was not so optimistic, "I won't be able to hold out for a few days!" ”

Zhou's hand for Song Hongtian's tea paused halfway, "What's wrong?" ”

The tea was filled with teacups in an instant, and Zhou hurriedly put down the teapot and asked, "Is there something wrong again?" ”

Song Hong nodded and shook his head, "It's also expected!" Although we have moved the money out, we are not the only ones who have done this, and there are also rumors of leaks, and now the criminal department has begun to check the external accounts! ”

Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, "Our family's account is fine, let them check, if they can't find out the problem, don't worry about the master over there, they don't dare to betray us!" ”

"How can Madame be so sure?"

Zhou smiled mysteriously, "Does the master know who is the proprietor behind Tongchang Qianzhuang?" ”

"Who is it?"

"It's the Li family, the Li family, the university scholar!" Zhou couldn't help but be proud, "The concubine also went to the Xu family to find out about this!" ”

"You're going to Xu's house again?" Song Hong looked dissatisfied.

Zhou pouted, "It's not that the concubine is going, the Xu family sent someone to invite it, but I didn't expect the concubine to go to the Xu family and see Mrs. Li!" Their Li family wants to betray us to ask for a Qiaozong, how can they succeed? The concubine was so scared that they didn't dare to squeak! ”

"The Li family wants to hand over our money?" Song Hong was shocked, "We have smoothed out the books, and we can't find the money, so we can't convict it for a long time, but if the Li family is born with two hearts...... It's not good! ”

"Sir, be relieved!" Zhou said confidently, "The Li family doesn't dare, if he betrays us, he will lose his reputation, how can other people trust him?" Besides, the concubine has already made it clear that if they dare to betray us, we will bite him back, and I want to see how they can wash it! Mrs. Li was so frightened that she didn't dare to squeak on the spot! ”

Song Hong, who has been in officialdom for a long time, is not as naïve as Zhou, and Scholar Li was once the emperor's teacher, how could he be frightened? The attitude of the Li family is by no means as simple as it appears!

"Hard to say! The Li family has always been wise to protect their lives, Li Daxue was the teacher of the first emperor, only two or three years after the death of the first emperor, the kung fu has been reused, the scheming means are not something we can speculate, this thing is really not good! ”

Only then did Zhou realize that she had been deceived by Gao, and after the anger, there was only endless panic, "Master...... What now? ”

"Do your best and let your destiny be!" Song Hong sighed and got up, "I'll go and discuss it with my eldest brother again!" ”

Before he got up, the door was pushed open, and it was Song Wencai who came in, and Zhou was dissatisfied, "When adults talk, how can children eavesdrop?" Have you forgotten all the etiquette taught by the gentleman? ”

Song Wencai glanced at Song Hong and Zhou, bowed and saluted, "Father, mother, son has something to ask, and I hope that father and mother can solve their son's doubts!" ”

"Ask!" Song Hong was a little curious about what the second son wanted to ask with a solemn face.

"What crime did the Song family commit?"

Song Wencai stared at Song Hong's eyes, Song Hong subconsciously dodged, glanced at Zhou, and said ashamedly, "I was confused for a while, I committed the taboo of being an official, I was ashamed of my father, I was ashamed of the court, the people, and the Song family!" ”

"Is it just embezzlement?" Song Wencai obviously didn't believe it, "The previous dynasty was very greedy for Zhao Shangshu, greedy for 40,000 taels of silver, and Shang Cai was beheaded by the whole family, how much ill-gotten wealth did our Song family have to end up in the same fate as the Zhao family?" ”

Song Hong's words were stopped, and Zhou blamed, "Your father ran around for the Song family, and only came back from the Criminal Department today, as a son of man, you don't know how to be compassionate, but you came to question, but it will chill your father's heart!" ”

"Mother doesn't know what the Song family is afraid of?" Song Wencai looked at Zhou, and Zhou couldn't help but look at Song Hong, with a puzzled expression, "Does the master still have anything to hide from his concubine?" ”

"I didn't ...... Nothing, nothing! Song Hong's eyes dodged, not daring to look directly at Zhou.

"What did my father do that was unreasonable for fear of being known by others?" Song Wencai asked angrily.

Terrible......

Song Hong couldn't help but close his eyes, it was indeed a hurtful thing, it was so many years that he and his brother had chosen to forget, but the more he wanted to forget, the more he remembered it, the more he remembered it, the bloody light in his eyes, he couldn't forget it, and he followed him like a shadow for more than ten years......

"Old ...... Master......" Zhou screamed in horror, because she had realized that the Song family's troubles seemed to be more than just this.

"Madam, you go back first, Wen Cai stays!" Song Hong waved his hand, as if he didn't intend to hide it any longer.

Zhou glanced at the father and son in front of him, fear overcame curiosity, shrunk his neck, and hurriedly left, a cold wind suddenly blew outside the door, Zhou tightened his cuffs, and still couldn't stop feeling cold, and he didn't know if his body was cold or his heart was cold.
