Chapter 41: The Sound of the Lyre
Han Ding's men and horses then rushed to Suling. In fact, Han Ding had rushed back to the Lingwei Division from Su Ling before. Because most of the Su Ling are the mansions of princes and nobles, the general affairs of the Su Ling are handled by Han Ding himself.
Miyagi is located in the northwest of the central city of Shaoyang, the east side of the palace is Yongjing Canal, while the Changning order is on the south side of the palace city, and the Suling is on the north side of the palace city. To get from Changning to Suling, you need to first cross the Yongjing Canal to the east to reach the Pingning Order, then to the north to the Qiyun Order, and finally to the west across the Yongjing Canal to reach the Suling Order.
An exquisitely carved stone bridge lies on the Yongjing Canal between the Suling and the Qiyun Order. There is a stele standing in front of the bridge head on the east side, and a line of words is engraved on the stele: those who are not Jingchuan nobles, see the stele and get off the horse, cross the bridge and get off the sedan chair.
"What the nobleman, what's the big deal?" Shen Zhi flicked the scabbard of the steel knife rather unhappily, turned over and dismounted.
"Murder is a crime, but killing a wolf is not a crime, so what's so great about people? One truth, the rules formulated by the nobles, of course, must highlight themselves. Li Xiaobing sneered.
"When I crossed the bridge, all the grumblings came into my stomach. These nobles are disgusting, but we can't afford to mess with them. Han Ding led the horse and led the soldiers across the bridge.
"Big brother, don't worry, the brothers are not just on an errand in Shaoyang. "Although Shen Zhi's temper is not good, he knows how to measure proportions.
When the group came to the Zhennan Palace, Han Ding turned around and said to Shen Zhi: "These nobles are not easy to deal with, you take the brothers and wait outside, and Xiao Bing and I will go in." ”
"Yes. ”
Han Ding and Li Xiaobing walked up the steps, Han Ding handed the token to the guard at the door, and said, "Han Ding, the Governor of the Lower Spirit Guard, is on the order of Lord Qianying, and asks to see Miss Jin Qi." ”
has dealt with the nobles a lot, and Han Ding knows that these family members are all dogs and people, and they will not give him a good face. Although his official duties are important, he really doesn't want to suffer this breath. This time, he simply moved out Qianying first to press them.
When the guard heard Poor Ying, his face changed, and he took the token and said, "Wait a minute, let me tell you." ”
After a while, the gate of the palace opened again, and the guards led a middle-aged man out. The middle-aged man was dressed in a fancy costume and his sideburns were white, walked up cordially, returned the token to Han Ding, and said with a smile: "Brother Han Ding is here, why don't you send someone to say hello in advance, the old man is going to greet him." ”
Han Ding sneered in his heart, he didn't come to this Zhennan Palace, which time didn't he give him a face? If he hadn't reported the name of Poor Ying this time, how could he Jin Baixi greet him personally.
"King Zhennan said with a smile, we just got the clue, and we came to the Su Order without stopping, how can there be any time to report? Lord Poor Ying commanded, and time could not be delayed. ”
"Then come in. Jin Baixi welcomed Han Ding and the others into the palace.
"Brother Han Ding, the old man hasn't seen Lord Qianying for a long time, and I don't know ······ it" Walking on the road, Jin Baixi talked with Han Ding enthusiastically. Of course, the topic is all about poor English.
"King Zhennan, we want to see Ling Ai now. Han Ding directly interrupted Jin Baixi's words.
"Uh, I'm really sorry, the little girl is a little unwell today. What is the important matter of Brother Han Ding? If so, can the old man answer on his behalf?"
Han Ding stopped and said angrily: "King Zhennan! I emphasized before I entered the door that I have an important business on this trip, and I can't afford to delay it! Our Lingwei Division is responsible for the defense and security of the entire Shaoyang, and the situation is urgent, and you are still in the mood to fight with me sloppily! If you think that I, Han Ding, are not qualified enough, do you have to be Lord Qianying and Your Majesty to invite Miss Jin Qi?"
Hearing this, Jin Baixi's old face stiffened, and he didn't expect that Han Ding, who had always been sophisticated, would be so faceless. However, Jin Baixi was a soldier after all, and in addition to being embarrassed, he also felt the seriousness of the problem. After a while, the three of them came to the door of Jin Qi's room.
"Qi'er. Jin Baixi knocked lightly on the door, "It's Dad, Lord Han Ding of the Lingwei Division has something to ask you." ”
"I said I wouldn't see anything, and I didn't see anything, and I blasted them away!" came the girl's rough voice from inside the room, and she couldn't hear anything wrong with her body.
Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. Jin Baixi smiled with a red face: "The old man has no way to discipline him, so the two of them laughed." Then he went to knock on the door again.
At this time, Han Ding stepped forward with a wry smile, stopped Jin Baixi, and said, "Let me try." ”
"Miss Jin Qi! I'm here for Mr. Changningling's violinist!"
There was a sudden silence in the house, and then several maids came out of the house. One of them said, "Miss invites the adults of the Spirit Guard Division to enter, and no one else is allowed to enter, especially the master." ”
Han Ding and the others walked into the house, but the maids did not follow up, it seems that Jin Qi drove out all the people in the house. Jin Baixi's embarrassed expression gradually eased, revealing a contemplative expression. The housekeeper trotted all the way and came behind Jin Baixi.
"What do you command?"
"Send someone to inquire and see what kind of cases the people of the Spirit Guard Division are working on, especially those related to the Qin Ghost. ”
"Yes. ”
After the housekeeper left, Jin Baixi muttered to himself on the spot: "Qin ghost, this guy has disappeared for three or four years, what will be the problem?"
In Jin Qi's boudoir, a little girl's warm decoration, Han Ding was a little uncomfortable in it. Jin Qi was just in his early twenties, full of the vitality of a young girl, sitting on the bed and stroking the rabbit in his arms. Han Ding and the two sat at the table, and Li Xiaobing spread the scroll on the table, ready to record.
"Do you know Brother Qin?" Before Han Ding could speak, Jin Qi asked first.
"Well, I guess I know each other. Han Ding coped.
"Why hasn't he shown up for more than three years? Where is he now?"
"We don't know about that. ”
"He's been missing for three and a half years, why are you looking for him now?Why are you Lingwei looking for him?Is he getting into some trouble?" Jin Qi kept asking. For a while, Han Ding, who was in a hurry, didn't know how to answer. Li Xiaobing saw it in his eyes and only felt funny. Obviously, the two of them came to investigate, but Han Ding was forced to be speechless by the subject of the investigation.
"Ahem, hum. Li Xiaobing cleared his throat and reminded Han Ding to regain the initiative in the Q&A.
"Yes, that's right. Han Ding cleared his thoughts and stabilized his position, "Qin Gongzi has now returned to the place where he learned art to re-study the art of the piano, and he may not be out of the mountain for several years, as for where he learned art, we don't know." And more than three years ago, when Qin Gongzi left, he mentioned his senior brother to us. That man, a dangerous mercenary plot, had been lurking around Shaoyang. Now that the day of the national memorial is approaching, we are afraid that the mercenary will take the opportunity to do something, so we want to know something related to Qin Gongzi in order to deal with that mercenary. Since Qin Gongzi is not in Shaoyang now, he doesn't have to worry about his safety. ”
Hearing that Han Ding made up such a big lie in a short period of time, Li Xiaobing rolled his eyes, and the man in his heart was really good at lying.
"Is that so?" Jin Qi looked at Li Xiaobing on the side.
"Please rest assured, Miss, Qin Gongzi has always been a friend of our Lingwei Division. Seeing Jin Qi looking at him, Li Xiaobing had to reply with a smile.
"Who are you?" Jin Qi asked, pointing at Li Xiaobing.
"Oh, this, this is Li Xiaobing, the right lieutenant of the Spirit Guard, one of my assistants. Han Ding was afraid that there would be some conflict between the two, so he hurriedly replied.
"Li Xiaobing, you are the ······ people say." Jin Qi suddenly remembered the name.
"Miss Jin Qi, let's discuss the matter of Qin Gongzi. I heard that Qin Gongzi has a good relationship with many noble ladies in Suling. ”
Han Ding saw that Li Xiaobing's face turned cold, and hurriedly forcibly changed the topic. Fortunately, I didn't let Jin Qi say that word, otherwise it would be difficult to recover.
"What kind of friendship! Obviously, they are always pestering Brother Qin. Otherwise, how could Brother Qin only let me help him take care of the piano shop!"
