Chapter 150: It's the Han family again
"Cousin, ...... Let's talk about it. Li Xi said again, his expression almost eager.
She should have tried to control her trembling, her body tensed up, but her rapid breathing still made every word she spit out seem like a short bit.
Chen Ying caressed her back, and with the other hand, she pulled over He Sui, who was also pale, and said quietly: "If I guessed correctly, my uncle came to Dengzhou this time, not to play, but to carry out some orders." I don't know the exact content of this order, but it should be related to the disaster situation in Dengzhou or the victims. ”
As she spoke, she looked at He Sui and asked, "Ling Zun is the master of Penglai County, right?" ”
He Sui's face was as white as paper, and he replied with a slight "um".
Chen Ying then said: "As far as I know, the position of the chief bookkeeper is in charge of the county's documents, presumably there must be official correspondence between my uncle and He Zhushu, or rather, He is likely to be using the convenience of official affairs to quietly pass on news to my uncle, and this news will touch the interests of some people, such as some officials in the county, or even some officials in Dengzhou Prefecture." Naturally, these people will not let their uncle and He Zhushu go down to investigate, and they will definitely make some moves. Power and money often have the power to turn people into demons, and our safety is therefore threatened. ”
Chen Ying can still recall that early that morning, He Juncheng and Li Heng appeared in the garden at the same time, in addition, the He family suddenly appeared, quite unreasonably insisted on going to the incense with the Li family, and now I think about it is also because of this. This is the basis for Chen Ying's inference, which may not be entirely correct, but it should be not much worse.
The quiet voice like water flowed in the carriage, inexplicably calming people's hearts, Li Xi was completely immersed in it at this time, and his ups and downs seemed to be smoothed out.
"Cousin, I ...... I think I get it. She frowned and slowly sorted out her thoughts: "Father wants to impeach those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he is afraid that those people will do something to us, so ...... Therefore, my father deliberately asked my mother to take us to burn incense, which is actually ...... Actually, it's just a pretense that my father is going to suddenly change the route halfway and send us to that county......"
"Zhaoyuan County." A deep female voice interjected.
Chen Ying turned her eyes and looked at Sister-in-law Ye who was facing her sideways, and the smile on her face was as strange as ever: "I haven't asked for advice yet." ”
"Ye Qing." Sister-in-law Ye said her name, paused for a moment, and corrected her previous statement: "I wasn't sent by Lord Li. ”
Chen Ying smiled even more strangely.
Of course, if you are familiar with her, you can see that this strange smile is actually her expression when she is confident.
"But, I guessed right." She said it in a firm tone.
The only thing Ye Qing corrected was Chen Ying's speculation about where she came from, which meant that she agreed with other statements.
Ye Qing didn't give an answer this time, but her figure standing by the window was the best answer.
Li Xi's stiff back relaxed little by little.
Their conversation undoubtedly relieved the tense atmosphere in the car, and even He Sui's face was not so ugly, she even reluctantly sat up straight and said softly: "It's my father...... Father said...... I found a housekeeper, and my father said...... We want her to come with us...... Burn incense. ”
It is not easy to maintain balance in a speeding carriage, let alone to resist the fear in his heart, and it is not easy for He Sui to be able to speak completely.
Chen Ying smiled at her.
That's a good note.
He Juncheng personally found Ye Qing not long ago, and arranged for her to go with the Huang family, so naturally he asked her to protect his wife and children.
He Sui seemed to have thought of this, and there was a little happiness on his face, but then he frowned again, looking worried: "Mother, there ...... there"
She stopped talking after only four words.
Looking at Huang's attitude, she must have not realized the importance of Ye Qing at all, so she pointed her to He Sui's side, but let He Sui be a blessing in disguise.
It's just that Chen Ying is not worried about this line of cars and horses now, but Chen Jun.
Chen Jun stayed in Penglai County, which was also arranged by Li Heng.
Li Heng left Chen Jun and his second son Li Ke behind, probably to confuse the enemy as much as possible, but can he protect these two juniors?
Chen Ying stopped her urge to stop the carriage and return to Penglai County.
Not to mention whether these people can obey their orders, one Ye Qing is enough to stop her redundant movements.
Taking a step back, the person who has the whole information is Li Heng, and his trade-offs should be more secure than her ad hoc decision.
"The coachman is his own person, and there are also in the city." Ye Qing can always explain the problem in the shortest words.
Chen Ying's heart was relieved.
Sure enough, Li Heng was indeed prepared.
Now that I think about it, before leaving, Ni Shi had said that Li Heng had hired several cars, and these Jianghu people dressed as coachmen must be the protection he provided.
I hope there are enough people in Penglai County.
Chen Ying thought so.
Listening to Ye Qing's words, Li Xi was suddenly relieved, raised his hand and patted it on his heart, and said in a more brisk tone than Fang Cai: "That's fine, I'm still worried about my father, second brother, and cousin." As he spoke, he went to pull Chen Ying's hand again: "My cousin is also worried." ”
Chen Ying did not comment.
Worried that this emotion is still superfluous and easy to affect judgment, she doesn't want to be controlled by unhelpful emotions. The more critical the situation, the more she needs to be cool-headed, and she hopes that she can make the wisest decisions in the most chaotic situations, just like Mr. Detective.
The carriage was quiet, Li Xi and He Sui were a little sluggish, they should not have recovered from their previous fear, and Chen Ying closed his eyes and pondered.
About half a moment later, Li Gong's voice suddenly came from outside the car: "Sister, cousin, Second Miss He, are you okay?" ”
Speaking on the back of a galloping horse, he had to always be careful to keep pace with the vehicle, and he had to take two breaths for every few words, which seemed very laborious.
And even so, his riding skills are already quite exquisite, Chen Ying has only been practicing horseback riding for a month, and he thinks he can't do this.
Ye Qing silently gave up half of his body to the side, Li Xi had already rushed to the window with his hands and feet, and said hurriedly: "We're all fine, big brother, you're okay, right?" What about mothers and aunts? Are they good? ”
At this point, the afterglow of his eyes swept over He Sui, and he added: "What about Mrs. He?" There is no fright. ”
Although she heard a detailed and reasonable analysis from Chen Ying, the little girl's heart was still carried, she was very worried about the safety of her relatives, and she did not forget the etiquette at this time, and she also knew how to ask the guests about the situation, which showed that her upbringing was good.
