Chapter Twenty-Four: The Son

A quarter of an hour later, the officials in the yamen did not dare to come out, and carefully sent Qin Mosong, who had a dark and calm face, to leave the yamen.

In a tea shed on the street opposite the Yamen, the second master of Changshan Wangfu was dressed in an ordinary green cloth shirt, with a hat on his head and a low head slowly drinking tea.

After drinking a cup of tea, the second master Qi put the tea money on the table and got up to leave.

......

In the rejuvenation hall, Ning Shuang was seeing the patient, and the shopkeeper hurriedly walked over.

"Girl."

Frost looked up, "Huh? What happened to Uncle Wu? ”

Uncle Wu glanced around and said, "Girl, please come with me." ”

Seeing this, Ning Shuang got up with a confession to the patient.

Uncle Wu walked directly to a small dispensing room in the backyard, and when he entered the room, he closed the door and handed her a note.

Ning Shuang took it suspiciously, only opened it and looked at it twice, and was taken aback.

"Who sent it?" Suppressing the shock in her heart, Ning Shuang asked after carefully reading the contents of the note.

The handwriting on the note is obviously deliberately hidden, and the paper used is also very ordinary, there is only one line of words on the note, and the meaning between the lines is a little blurred, but the information revealed is not simple.

What's more, this person's act of leaving such a note in the Rejuvenation Hall is very intriguing and alarming.

Uncle Wu shook his head and said, "It should be that the guest who just grabbed the medicine was stuffed on the counter when I wasn't paying attention." ”

"I didn't see anyone when I chased it out." Shopkeeper Wu looked at Ning Shuangdao, his eyes were also full of shock.

"Has anyone else seen this?" Ning Shuang's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked after a moment's thought.

"No, there wasn't anyone else at the counter just now, and it was just a matter of saying a word."

"Okay, I got it." She stared at the note again and read it carefully, but she really couldn't see anything, and put the note away with a complicated expression: "Then Uncle Wu still asks someone to send a message to the Rui Wangfu and ask His Highness to come over." ”

"Yes."

......

Qin Mosong returned to King An's Mansion with a gloomy face, went to the study, and stayed in it alone for about half an hour before he got up and opened the door of the study and called the guard Changwu to invite Uncle Fuyang to come over.

About two quarters of an hour later, Fu Yangbo hurried to arrive.

"Uncle, look at this." Qin Mosong handed the envelope he had brought back from the yamen to Fu Yangbo.

Fu Yangbo took it and pulled out the contents of it, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became......

"What does Uncle think?" After Fu Yangbo finished reading it, Qin Mosong asked.

"Where did these things come from?" Fuyang Bo looked at Qin Mosong with confusion and shock.

Why didn't he hear anything about it? Besides, why did King An suddenly remember to check the matter over there in Qingzhou?

"These things were anonymously sent to the Yamen of the Ministry of Household and handed over to me." Qin Mosong said.

"This-" Hearing him say this, Fu Yangbo was even more shocked.

"What else is there?" Fuyang Bo Na said after a while.

Qin Mosong handed him the small stone in his hand.

Fu Yangbo looked at the stones he handed over, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Do you know who it is?" Wiping the Han on his forehead, Fu Yangbo stabilized his mind, and his voice returned to its usual calmness.

Since this person can find out what Jing Ninghou did in Qingzhou so clearly, and also sent the letter directly to Qin Mosong, then this person has to be guarded against, and this person must be found out as soon as possible.

"No clues." Qin Mosong shook his head, he was very angry, if this person didn't come out, it would be really difficult for him to sleep well.

When he was in Yamen, Qin Mosong personally interrogated the little beggar, but there was no clue.

When the messenger gave the letter to the little beggar, it was already dark, and the man was wearing a hat to cover half of his face......

As for the accent or something, the little beggar couldn't tell.

“......”

Fu Yangbo is not too surprised by this, even if he can do this, it must not be simple, how can people find it easily.

"What is Jing Ninghou's purpose in doing this?" Although the contents of this letter may not seem fake, it cannot help but make people think deeply about the purpose behind these things: "Also, what is the purpose of the messenger? ”

Qin Mosong didn't answer with a gloomy face, if he knew it, what else did he invite him to do?

However, these words naturally cannot be said.

"No matter what this person's purpose is, since he can help us find Jing Ninghou out, he must be an enemy." Qin Mosong said.

"It's better to be careful." Fu Yangbo was not without worry.

"Don't be in a hurry to startle the snake in advance, it's not too late to send someone to Qingzhou to find out the situation first. Jing Ninghou will send more people to keep an eye on it first. Fu Yangbo continued.

Before, Qin Mosong arranged for someone to keep an eye on Jing Ninghou, and Fu Yang Bo knew about it, and at that time, Fu Yang Bo still felt that Qin Mosong's move was inappropriate, for fear that he would fall into the provocation of others. Now it seems that whether someone really provokes it or someone fakes it, Jing Ninghou has no choice but to guard against it.

......

When the dark guard came back from Willow Hutong, Fu Yangbo hadn't left yet, and Qin Mosong asked the secret guard to go directly into the study to reply.

"How?"

"Two days ago, Jingninghou went to Willow Hutong, and last night Qiu Niangzi's carriage went out of the house and went to the shop in Anyang Hou's house, and stayed in it for more than an hour before coming out."

"Let's go down!" Qin Mosong's face was pale, and he listened to the secret guard's reply, his fists clenched and gurgling, and his face changed for a long time before he waved his hand to let him go down first.

After the secret guard went down, Qin Mosong called Changwu in again, and ordered him to send more people to keep an eye on the every move of the people in Jingning Houfu and the Qiu clan in Willow Hutong.

......

Qin Moyu came over quickly, still carrying a big food box.

While eating, Frost handed him the note.

Qin Moyu glanced at it, and then looked at Ning Shuang with surprise: "Not our people?" ”

Ning Shuang's hand holding the vegetables paused, then picked up a small piece of greens, put it in the bowl in front of him, and looked up at him: "No." ”

"But this person should not have malicious intentions, otherwise he would not have passed on these news to us in this way." Ning Shuang said slowly, she didn't know why, but she just had a feeling: "It's just that since this person has passed the news to us, it means that he may know a lot about our affairs, even if he doesn't know in detail, he must have some understanding of our direction and purpose......"

The thought of someone watching them secretly and being able to see their actions made Ning Shuang's heart feel a little chilly, if this person was really malicious, he was afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable......

"However, no matter what the purpose of this person is, since he is hiding in the dark, we can't help but guard against it. Also, how did he know about us? Ning Shuang put her chopsticks on the bowl and tilted her head to look at him opposite.

Qin Moyu also thought of this, bowed his head and pondered silently.

It's just that I just thought about it for a long time but I didn't have a clue......

"In any case, this news is still very important and timely for us...... But we have to send someone over to verify this matter first, let's keep an eye on it in the next two days and see how it goes. It seems that we will have to be more cautious in our actions in the future. He saw her put the chopsticks aside, took the empty bowl next to him and scooped some soup and handed it to her: "Eat first, let's talk about it after eating." ”

Ning Shuang looked at the soup he handed over, glanced at him, opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything, bowed his head and drank the soup.

Qin Moyu watched with great satisfaction as she obediently drank the soup he served her, and stared at her to eat most of the bowl of rice before letting her go.

"Let's go to Jufu Building for dinner in the evening, our plan may be a little earlier." Qin Moyu put away the note in his hand, the expression on his face had returned to his usual carelessness, and he said leisurely.

"Qingzhou!" He turned the teacup in his hand, and after a while, he slowly spat out two words.

......

It was early in the morning, and the Marquis of Jingning had nothing else to do, and he didn't want to return home too early, so he ordered the little servant to go to Willow Hutong.

The carriage was passing through the winding water road and was about to turn into the alley. There was a sudden commotion ahead, and the guards were busy protecting the carriage around.

"What's going on?" Jing Ninghou's voice came out.

"I don't know, my subordinates will go over and take a look."

The chief of the guard was about to have his men go forward to check when the sound of crackling firecrackers suddenly sounded, followed by the sound of fighting around the carriage.

I saw two black-clothed masked men who suddenly appeared, with a clear target attacking both sides of the road, and the secret guards of King An's Mansion hidden in the shadows suffered a sudden change and had to show up to fight back, and then soon the battle spread around the carriage......

Then there was a chaotic battle between the three parties, but after the two black-clothed men pulled the guards of the Marquis of Jingning into the battle, they quickly evacuated with a tacit understanding.

After the man in black evacuated, the guards of the Jingning Marquis Mansion were left and another group of people were inexplicably entangled......

Soon, though, another group came to their senses.

"Withdraw." The leader gave an order and took the lead in withdrawing.

The other two hurriedly withdrew.

The guards of the Marquis of Jingning Mansion were a little confused, did they really not know what the situation was?

Xu Ze, the head of the guard, frowned as he looked at the direction in which the group of people behind him had withdrawn.

"Everyone's gone?" Jing Ninghou raised the curtain of the car, and his voice was calm.

"Yes." Xu Ze walked to the window of the car and lowered his head back.

"Do you know who it is?"

“......”

Xu Ze raised his head and stopped talking, a little hesitant.

"What's going on?" Jing Ninghou glanced at him, and his face sank.

"I can't see the people in black who appeared at the beginning, but the group of people on the side of the road look a bit like people from King An's Mansion."

Jing Ninghou was stunned for a moment, then his eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Can you see clearly?" ”

"There shouldn't be anything wrong, but my subordinates aren't completely sure."

"Let someone check it out." Jing Ninghou lowered the curtain.

"Yes."

......

In Willow Hutong, Jingninghou's carriage drove directly into the courtyard.

The guard Xu Ze stopped at the door and looked around before following into the courtyard.

Marquis Jing Ning had already gotten out of the carriage, and the housekeeper's mother was bowing down to lead him inside.

"Master Hou." Xu Ze quickly caught up, and then said in a low voice: "There are also people staring at the door." ”

Jing Ninghou paused, glanced back at him, and then turned his head expressionlessly and continued to walk inside.

Qiu Ruoshui was standing at the gate of the inner courtyard, and when he saw him coming this way, he hurriedly took a few steps forward.

"Master Hou-" Qiu Ruoshui's eyes flowed, his voice was soft and soft, delicate and tactful, and he could hear Jing Ning Hou's ears tickling as if a kitten had scratched his heart.

Jing Ninghou took Qiu Ruoshui's hand and rubbed it in his palm.

"Mother Wan, quickly bring Xiang'er over and show it to Master Hou."

Qiu Ruoshui's child is just over a year old, and it is the time to start learning to walk, and the little guy is now impatient to always be held in his arms, and is being carefully led by several little maids to play in the yard.

Seeing that Mother Wan went over to hug him, the little guy hurriedly hid with his little short legs.

Jing Ninghou let go of Qiu Ruoshui's hand, strode over and squatted down, and stretched out his hands with a smile: "Come and hug Daddy!" ”

The little guy was about to hide to the side, but Marquis Jingning directly picked up the child and kissed the child's face: "Does Xiang'er miss Daddy?"

Jing Ninghou was so busy teasing his son that he didn't notice the disgust that flashed in Qiu Ruoshui's eyes when he lowered his head.

Jing Ninghou walked back to Qiu Ruoshui's side, hugged the child with one hand, took Qiu Ruoshui's hand with the other, and walked in with a hearty laugh.

......

In Anwang's Mansion, Qin Mosong listened to the report of the kneeling secret guard with an iron face.

"Something that doesn't exist!" After listening to the dark guard, Qin Mosong kicked towards the dark guard.

The dark guard was kicked and shook twice, and continued to kneel with a blank face.

"Subordinates should be damned, please punish the master!" Dark Guard.

"Go down and get the punishment yourself." Qin Mosong stared at the dark guard for a long time, and said word by word in a cold voice.

If it weren't for the fact that it was the time to employ people, Qin Mosong would have been eager to give him a knife directly for this useless thing.
